The OG Kush is starting strong"freebe" the OSCC White Critical is still a noshow. EXSE Critical Lights is next up in a paper towel to germinate. And I also have a Northern Lights"freebe" Im probably gona save a little while.
Im hoping to get a good quick harvest with the Amnesia and get some Mother plants going for a photo run with clones in soil.
A little introduction to this grows, probably should have been the first post.
Strain is SunWest Genetics Amnesia Haze Autoflower, I'll also be starting Expert Seeds Critical Lights, OSSC White Critical, and freebe's unknown OG Kush,and Northern Lights
Im starting with Botanicare nutes
Silica Blast
Cal-Mag Plus
Pure Blend Pro Grow
Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil Formula
Liquid Karma
Hydroplex
Im using General Hydroponics ph up/down
Water is RO 5 stage
Bucket is an 8 gallon with a 6" netpot.
Seed was started by paper towell and placed in a rapid rooter to pop.
Air pump is an Active aqua with two lines hooked up to a couple large airstones
Ventilation is active air4" inline filter 4" AC Infiniti fan and a small 6" circulation fan.
Lighting started with a 32 watt CFL
Citizen clu-048 80cri with passive cooling. 80-200 watt meanwell driver
The old nutes I pulled out were at 350ppm ph6.0. I used a little for the first nutes for the OG Kush and regular spring water for the Critical Lights after going from paper towel to rapid rooter.
The White Critical is tossed now. Id let it soak in water and then placed in the rapid rooter without letting it sprout the taproot in the paper towel. I won't try it that way again for a while.
Any suggestions on the auto? Or anything else really.
Just a quick check on the girls. I think the Kush liked the nutes. TheCritical Lights has poked the shell above ground already. Amnesia Haze got a topfeed, the new one hasn't popped yet but it's looking good.
The Amnesia Haze seems to be ok with the resavoir change. I had a bump in my ph, but I think it was caused by stirring up sediment. Ive started using a transfer pump to top feed.
The Critical Lights has shed 1/2 the shell and is showing green.
The new Amnesia Haze is starting to pop. It's already been swelled just a little and showing a little crack.
Its looking like Ill be running at least two of the auto. One DWC for sure.
Im still undecided on how to run the second.
I have a 5 gallon bucket, a 4 gallon smartpot, or a smaller container to leave the possibility of running a third auto.
Im pretty impressed with the OG Kush. The first leaves are an inch or so past the edge of the cup and I think feeding heavy.
I wish I knew the breeder on the Kush, as long as it turns out a female.
Ph 6.4
Ppm 722
Critical Lights is ready to loose the shell
Amnesia dwc visable root in netpot
Amnesia seed#2 taproot showing
Kush got another small feed of the dwc nutes
Ph 6.5

Critical Lights came out of the shell
Auto #2 sprouted the taproot
Transfered to rapid rooter in Fox Farms 70/30 coco perlite
Watered spring water all 3
Mixed soil to transplant Amnesia auto#2
Mixed compost soil and roots organic for the bottom half and unmixed for the top watered 1 gallon of ro water soaking a few times.
I was debating using a tea immediately to give the "herd"/beneficials"a jumpstart.i think Ill wait becouse I think this will already be a hot soil.
Mixed SNS and sprayed the top of the soil. I sprayed the walls and soil of the seedlings. I tried not to get any on the plants becouse of the lights but did some anyway.
Im working on a new home for the photo plants. Hopefully before they get rootbound.
