GlimmerGrass's Maiden Grow - Crop King Seeds' Early Miss Auto Fem in Coir - 2015

[glimmergrass]

Hi Glimmer!!

I love your set up!! The shower stall?!? That's freakin brilliant! Sure makes for easy clean up!

If you don't mind I would like to tag along! I'm always excited to meet fellow Canadians!

All the best my friend!

Thanks so much, Pigeon!

Two weeks old!

Yes, the girls have been above ground for two weeks today, and I think they like the warmer, more humid environment of my shower stall The growth has exploded in the last day and a half. Fourth nodes coming in.

Here's Scylla:

And here's Charybdis:

I have to get more light in there. I'm going to take off the reflector of the light over Scylla and add a splitter so I can double up on the CFLs but I know I need a lot more light for flowering.

I think I may break down and get an old model MarsHydro 600w light -- 5w LEDs and a great price. What the hell, eh? It's my birthday next week!

PS: This is an addiction, right? I'm not addicted to smoking pot, but I think I may be addicted to growing it!

Added a fan and a thermometer/hygrometer. But the humidity doesn't seem to register

Nice set up lad.are those autos in their final pot now?

Thanks so much, beast! Yes -- they're in their final 5 gallon pots. It's about all that would fit in our tiny shower stall

Temperatures seem very steady -- 82 with lights on and both doors (door to shower and bathroom door) shut -- 77.9 with lights on and doors open. The bathroom door is really thick and you can't hear the fan at all when it's closed - bonus!

I have no idea of the humidity because the damned hygrometer doesn't work.

The fourth node on Scylla is really coming in well -- looks like it's the first 7 fingered leaf. This is incredibly exciting for me (I don't get out much )

Gorgeous young lady there my man!

Happy for you and your five fingers

This is actually a myth. There are a number of members around here that are proving autos can actually be not only re potted but can be trained and produce huge yields. Actually the latest Plant of the Month winner was an auto trained and repotted.

Check out Light addicts Auto training or Healing Kronic. They both do some amazing things with autos.

All the best!

OK if u think that.training and topiing yes is OK if done at the correct times but repotting an auto is gna cost u in yield. Try it for itself u don't have to belive me.just here to share loving vibes and info from experience have a good day mate

Thanks, beast, I really respect your advice, since you grow marvellous autos. I had read things on both sides of the issue and decided to try it this way. We'll see how it turns out! It certainly won't be my last auto grow ...

I will check that out, thank you. My understanding was that LST was the most one could do with autos but I imagine the more experienced growers are always pushing the envelope

edited to add: Good lord, I just got back from visiting a couple of LA's auto training threads and they pretty much blew my mind He's fluxing them! Amazing.

 

[thebeast27]

If I think I can help then I share.as I say mate on ur nextrun try it for herself see what u think.or welcome mate happy growing

 

[thebeast27]

LA's Auto Training!

Here's a great place to start. These autos have been transplanted numerous times, topped, fluxed and everything else that can be done with a photo.

I love this magazine because new information is always available. Take a peak.

Thanks so much, Pigeon. LA is doing AMAZING things

It's an extraordinary community, that's for sure. Welcoming, kind and so generous with advice and good wishes. And the depth (and breadth) of knowledge on these forums is gob smacking.

 

[Pigeons420]

It's something beautiful!

LA is legend for sure I always apply his back building method on all my flowering ladies
