Camper2016's First Grow - Candy Cane Auto

[Amadeus Forzin]

I'm not familiar with the FF trio but the feed chart says big bloom so give big bloom. 1/2 or even 1/4 strength

 

[camper2016]

OK...I think Canna or nizmo posted about big bloom...someone did. The girls seem to like it

 

[Nismo12]

Looking ok buddy, I'd be introducing a small amount of veg nutrients, still a touch pale

You beat me to it lol. Nitrogen is in order with these girls. But looking great.

 

[Stinky Snid]

IDK....what I have heard about autos was to leave alone but if there's a better way to do this I want to know

I have topped most of my most recent autos. This is since I did a test run, with topping, fimming and lst each one different plant. Check out my first journal for an example of each. It does depend on what strain you are doing since some will flower fairly early compared to others. I've seen great examples of both. It's really up to you and what you're comfortable with.. I just put up a couple tutorials in my perpetual journal for lowstress training, topping and fimming. Have a look and see what you feel like attempting.

KiG cheers

I just want'em to grow up and be good girls

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

That's what we all want. Big healthy strong ladies. If I was on my first grow with an autoflower, id only be using Light Stress Training. Less room for error that way.

 

[camper2016]

That's all cool...I'm willing to work with them just do not want to mess them up...

 

[camper2016]

day 22....Looking different....some new growth going on here...what do you think????

 

[camper2016]

the bottom pic is "slow poke" and she's starting to take off

 

[Nismo12]

Growth is good. How often are you watering? In the beginning of our first grow we had some slow pokes and yellowing like that and it was over watering. It is just not as fast as what it should be. But they have taken a turn for the better so

 

[camper2016]

I started watering with not a firm grip on good watering but have been using the lift technique and listening to you guys and Jim and Amazin...really held off early only watering once every 6-7 days...lately been watering every 4-5 days...I think the yellowing is attributable to the potting mix and other soil I used to start with. So I hope it fades out as we go along here

 

[camper2016]

And I think the temperature issue is having some effect....need to set up a vent system to moderate the temp especially with summer coming on in TX...

 

[camper2016]

So here we go; just thinking.......entering the 4th week of veg which with these autos was told 4 wks veg and 7 wks flower....should I just go by that or is it something else...? Have MH bulb in now then switch bulbs when flowering stage....

 

[camper2016]

uh huh

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Vent system is a must
Bloom bulb when in bloom. I belive your girls will be a bit behind what the breaders state as they were a little stunted early on.

 

[camper2016]

I hear you loud and clear....been able to delay the venting because it's been unseasonably cool...and a little rainy...I'm on it.

 

[camper2016]

OK...6" duct fan and ducting on the way....neem applied to get rid of some gnats....now with the aloe powder when I water the girls do I alternate the big bloom/water with aloe powder/water or put it all in the same batch.
Love my free weed

 

[camper2016]

This is all coming together...hahaaha.....this is gonna be good

 

[Demon42069]

I could be wrong but from what I remember when reading about using it they were saying to use it with your plain watering. I think they were saying coconut water works good with it as well. Not sure on dosage though.

 

[Canna Montana]

Aloe powder or flakes are a great add to the feedings or just plain water. They make the babies thrive to live. Try a top. Per gallon with waterings. That will help with growth too. All in all looking good. KIG!
