Orca/hydroguard/hormex/azos
18+/6 lighting schedule for now..
Lighting is a HLG 200 r-spec running at 80% at about 20 inches from plant’s…
Grower comments- i dont grow auto’s, sooooooo, its anybody’s guess how this turns out…
Shout out to @Olaf.ILGM and ILGM for giving me some different seeds for participating in the grow off that wished it could… lol
I have never grown any auto’s, but i have grown clone only plant’s before and that is quite a challenge in its self…
Im going to leave these girl’s growing and hope for the best , i will switch them over to flower nutrients and transplant them into 1 gallon dwc coffe can buckets with two 1-inch airstones pumping out 950 gph of air and just leave them in my vegg area to finish out , no sense in putting them out in my flowering system’s…
Too small…
We shall see how things go…
I don’t have the heart to kill them , so onward it is…
I might have some questions on how to move forward from here…
I should also mention that I have never grown auto’s before , soooooooo…
Until next week’s lil and yes i mean lil dirty peep show
Keep them planties happy folks…
I should point out that it looks like 3 different pheno’s, even thoe they are all mini truffles…

Watering/feeding frequency: On self-watering bases with nutes. The smaller plant is on Jack’s 3-2-1; the others are on CX.
Grower comments: 8-10 inches tall. I continue to hit 'em hard with LST to encourage lateral growth and bud site exposure, and all have been FIMed and topped. Jack’s at 100% was just a bit hot perhaps, but nothing serious. I am impressed so far with the CX nutes.

She turned out to be an autoflower. I lucked out my timing for topping her. She should produce pretty nicely.
Grower comments; I will re post this Thursday as Thursday evening I’m leaving for 19 days, the girls will be in the wife’s hands. I will be doing a complete refresh on the 60 gallon reservoir Thursday morning.
Didn’t think autos stretched as much as photos, but #1&2 have, my lights are maxed out in height. #2 has stopped stretching, #1 I’m not sure yet. # 3 & 4 are still in pre flower.
Lights on 1 & 2 are 900 PPFD, # 3 & 4 are 700 PPFD. I was going to leave them on 18/6 but with the heat this time of year I was hitting 90, so I went to 12/12 to help maintain cooler temps.

Morning truffies…… tote change out today…taking in a gallon of nutes daily now…. tote temps are still on the high side and watching closely for any root issues that may develop at the higher temps…… defoliate/prune below the net to remove all the stuff that never really develops and just stops air flow and takes energy that I want to go to the branch ends…..

Grower comments: The buds have a very sweet aroma. WT-1 &2 went directly from seedling to flower. They will not produce much but it will be potent. WT-3 is developing as you would expect for an auto.
Day 42 above ground of one seed started.
75-80F and 28 to 40RH.
Flip, flowering schedule 11 days (on day 31).
Preflower maybe 11 days.
Tap water, weekly since transplant (3 weeks) 3 to 4 cups each time.
Comments, got stretch but not much development lately. 23" tall. Maybe low energy, estimated DLI mid 20’s a while back. Temps a little better now 11/13 and swung to overnight lights-on. Starting flowering nutes next watering, this stuff about 700ppm.
Be well fellow Truffies

I wasn’t expecting so much stretch with the early transition. The middle plant didn’t stretch, I have been cutting the bottom branches little by little to help lesson fluffy buds down low
Number of plants to flower - 2 still vegging. Going to start the flip process this week, possibly tomorrow
Number of days from sprout - 43-44
Number of days from 12/12 - Still 18/6. Going to start decreasing on time tomorrow and get them down to 12/12 by next post or so.
Lights on temp/rh - 82°/55%-65%
Watering/feeding frequency - Living Soil so keeping it moist using SIP.
Grower comments - Left for 4 days and plants are doing fine. I filled up the reservoir and they’re fine. Have been giving them mostly aerated tap water with molasses and aloe throughout the process and they seem happy. Added some worm casings from my worm bin and they love it. Going to add some compost and lightly amend for flower this week. I won’t do much for amending until about week 2 or 3 of flower as a nice layer of compost should be good for the beginning. Then they will start to want more and more. Planning on using banana peel water and FPJ with some compost teas. Really wanna try @Roadsideorganics.ok amendments so we’ll see if I get around to ordering this round or not. Heard nothing but good things and wanna try them. Anyways, here are the damn ladies and until next week, be good people do good things.

Grower comments
These ladies seem to have finally hit a decent stride. Humidity has been impossible to manage, but they don’t seem to mind. Found some webs in the tent, looks like a larger spider. Ordering some predatory mites to target the spider mites
Should be about to get the watering system up soon
