Fast & Vast Auto LED Grow

[ipwnin]

hi i will be attempting to grow one fast and vast autoflower indoor with soil setup and led lighting.

Genetics : Afghani x Skunk x White Dwarf
Type : Indica 80%, Sativa 20%
THC : 17-19%
Plant Height : 100m-120cm

So i will be using Biobizz all mix soil along with there nute lineup of bloom, grow, topmax and root juice. Also calmag if needed. The lighting is a Mars hydro 300wt full spectrum led, and the grow space is a 60x60x120cm tent. I have a 4inch outlet fan and carbon filter, along with one clip on fan inside the tent. currently just using passive air intake but might purchase 5inch fan soon. i will be using a 6litre airpot, and my water is above 7.2ph witout nutes added. after i add nutes its down to around 6.7-6.8. temp is 30 Celsius with 50% humidity. currently no pests and am feeding 3-4 days with 1ml of each to start

So week 2 this week and this is how we are lookin

 

[ipwnin]

Week 3 and I'm starting to notice a strong smell coming off her. Also notice some browning on afew of the leaves tips. Should I be worried?

I'm not a soil guy...BUT, it looks like what happens to me in hydro when my PH varies. Hopefully the pics above will help too. Good luck.

I did a PH test at home, i heard that if you didn't use the water you just taped but waiter 1-2 days before using it the PH will go down.
And it did. 0.2-0.4 i was happy with the results cuz then i dodnt need my PH down.

 

[ipwnin]

Ph was 6.7-6.8 going in but I didn't check runoff after feed. I will try to get it down slightly and see if it helps. Thanks guys

 

[ipwnin]

So this is how we are looking atm. I decided that the ph was ok since the problem hasn't got worse and since I am using all allmix with bio bizz organic nutes. The smell is powerfully.

 

[Rifleman]

Pretty.

Hi

Looking good

I think you have a little nute-burn(brown tips and grey/blue-ish edges), the All-Mix is pretty hot for young plants.
try watering with plain water the next couple of times and and slowly increase the nutes.

Check out Atrain's auto guides: Life cycle of autoflowering cannabis

Looking good there!
How are they doing atm?

 

[ipwnin]

so been a busy few weeks and she is growing nicely. i did feed just plain water afew times and been slowly increasing nutes. i think that you may be right purplegunrack the soil prob burnt her abit.

 

[ipwnin]

and ive been meaning to replace that tape with the reflective type

 

[ipwnin]

So quick update, bud sites are lookin pretty. The lower leaves are looking very yellow and afew have crispy edges. The new growth leaves are also starting to show brown at the tips. Still think the ph isn't the problem I'm probably over doing it on the nutes.

 

[ipwnin]

So this is how we are lookin atm, and according to the seed bank I should be at harvest already. How do u guys think she looks? Also I'm thinking of drying her in my tent hung up in a basket with a t-shirt or something over her to block the light, is this a good idea??

 

[PurpleGunRack]

Looks good, if possible check the trichome colour that's the best way to tell if she's ready.
I think 2 more weeks will do her good.

you need a dark place to, and 18-23 degress C and 40%-55% relative humidity is the best range for drying.

 

[ipwnin]

Thanks I will wait off till I can get something to check colour. Only been using camera on my phone and I don't think it zooms in enough. I was thinking if I covered them with a t-shirt it would be dark enough? Humidity shouldn't be a prob as it's always between 40-55 in my tent atm. 7

So ended up with around 15 grams , very disheartening for the first grow. I will be changing soil on the next grow to light mix. Also adding cfl's to try get side buds bigger.

Looks great and is ready for harvest if you want - you know harvest is a personal thing - at present looks like the tic's are close to 100% milky,cloudy which is the point were the plant is at it's highest THC content. You are in the "window for harvest" Great looking plNT ???

Do you use Bud Candy and/or factor-X ?
