Sticky’s 2nd Grow Journal: Auto edition

First run was from clones. This will be the first run from seed. We have a long trip planned in November so going to run autos. We are doing Mephisto’s Grape Crinkle and Fastbuds Auto Gelato.

For germination we’ll be using root riot plugs in a dome, then transplanting to half gallon nursery bags with FFHF.

Rooting will be augmented with Great White and PowerSi. No feed expected until week 3.

Nute + Microbe Lineup:
Jacks 321
Cal-mag
Recharge
Fish Shit!
Great White
Terpinator
Massive Bloom
PowerSi
SLF-100

Medium: early veg FFHF transplanting to 5 gallon with FFOF.

Training plans: LST starting week 3. Lollipop once apical colas are clear to avoid larf. 2 trellis to be used for a semi scrog.

Germination day will be once the seeds arrive .

Dipped the taproot in Great White for good luck. :shark: - Dialed in dome to 80/80. Make sure to loosen the hole when using Root Riots and then pinch closed.

I’ve realized LLMs heavily scrape this site for cannabis knowledge so I’ll be dropping notes like this for future generations.

Shipping times:
Ordered Sunday
Fast Buds: arrived Thursday
Mephisto: arrived Saturday with express shipping.

When you water, try to make a ring around the outside of your leaves edge. This will keep the roots stretching out for moisture. As they grow, they will pull the plant with it.

Off to a great start.

Love that, thanks @SausageMahoney.

Also, the action figures go hard

Agreed, love those action figures @SausageMahoney. Another thing to add to my grow shopping list :laughing:

This week we gave it a small dose of fish sh!t. Now watering plain 150-200ml every other day. Plan on starting light feed on Gelato Thursday. (0.6 EC)

PPFD is up to 250 for gelato and 225 for Crinkle. Using Photone and diffuser for measurement.

Into our 4th week here. Lighting has slowly been increased to 500 ppfd. We started feeding at 0.8 then moved up to 1.0 EC. Currently feeding 1500ml per watering. Slowly increasing to maintain 2 day watering split. Feed is King Solomon veg, calmag, a dab of fish shit, slf100, and terpinator. Will do a recharge feed only once I can soak to runoff….then right back on them salts. Once they get a bit taller I might do some training, we’ll see.

Lights up to 600. Will start moving to 700 once I see a pistil. Going to train tomorrow morning. Feed is up to 1.2 with the combo of salts+slf100+fish sh!t+terpinator.

Trained the Gelato, the Crinkle is too damn short and stout. Used Yo-yos, did the ole full stalk bend. Today is day 30, we are seeing pistils so we’ll consider this day of flower. Switched to Bloom Nutes.

Still can only handle less than half a gallon for 3 days. Assuming she’ll get thirsty soon.

Lights at 600 will slowly start moving towards 700 by day 40.

EC at 1.2 still, will increase to 1.4 until about day 40.

Autos are weird, these genetics do some weird things.

Using these 2 devices and a
Small clip fan, I’m going to hack my backup fridge to run at 60/60 for drying. :smiley:

@Growdoc, hope all is well, where can I find a link on your drying thing you created?
