Second grow. Granddaddy Purple😈

So after my first grow with 2 Green crack and 1 So-fi. 3 plants which went super well in my opinion. I am striving for a better grow. I’ll be the first to say that I’ve definitely surprised myself with how potent and how well the buds smoked. I want to say thank you the most to @SolomanGrundy @Mmanson1981 which without them I don’t think I’d have ended up with as much knowledge and understanding for plants as I do now.

Going into the next grow I want to change some things. 1 being how many plants. I was able to pull off 3 plants in my 4x2. I want to do 2 plants because of just how annoying it was to defoliate the leaves. 2 I’m wanting to focus on getting tighter buds. I like fluffy buds but i want to learn and experiment my own tight buds. With this being said I think there may be some nutrients out there I can get that could help. I’m using the fox farm trio, big bloom, tiger bloom, grow big. As well as the cal-meg. Next I want to try topping my auto flower. However wasn’t sure if that was possible to top and Autoflower so I was wondering if you guys think that would be a good idea?!

Looking at this chart here I noticed last grow that the buds were getting the biggest around weeks 8-9-10. So would BembĆØ be a good one to add? I know my guy @SolomanGrundy said I should introduce stump tea veg boost.

Please let me know your guys thoughts and opinions. Would like to introduce some new nutrients for tighter/bigger buds.

Anyways, looking forward for the next grow. Excited to learn and grow more. I want to thank all who have supported me! Especially the 2 I mentioned! Thanks a lot

I topped all my autos my first run when I thought they were phots. Treated them like photos but was accidentally sent autos lol. It worked! Kept them super manageable.

Same as Milkman, I treat the autos as I do my Photos.

1 of the 5 I did not and it honestly outgrew height wise 10 -12ā€ taller than the other 4. So I’ll forever top autos in future and and introduce lst immediately and keep a close eye. However with supplemental light bars I’d run 8. Height wasn’t the issue but the width. Felt I was able to see them develop better with finding the right ppfd almost immediately. These photos I’m on my second grow now I feel like it’s harder to control everything. I’m a busy country boy. Tent has 3 openings. Utilize them all to get access.

You may want to take some advice from some more experienced gardeners due to that being my first. I have a journal on that one. It was because my journey of my first photo grow kinda got blindsided. Had to learn something completely new in 1 day that I just was a sponge for 6 months preparing for. Check it out. It won’t take long. Dont like it or anything but you can see the management side of being able to do it. If you have the power and the lights. Milk’s blue dream or dream gone blue?

I just started my second grow. This time they are photos. I would have known by now if they were autos.

There are some magnificent auto growmies on here. They can really help out. Just do as much research as you can and keep on learning. You’re never going to master anything bc everything is always changing.

Any advice on new nutrients I should add for more potency and denser buds?
I’m using The Fox Farm Trio. Including Cal-meg.

Thinking about flowers kiss (if this helps) and maybe more if some think it helps
