Playerunknown's Auto Grow In Coco!

[playerunknown]

Hey guys! I'm starting this journal a bit late into the experience because I've been focusing on my other set of plants that are now in flower and have had their own problems coming up recently, but I figured it was time to get this one going! So here's the rundown.
2x Girl scout cookie autos from fastseeds
1x critical+2.0 auto from dinafem
1x White widow from pyramid seeds.
They're being grown in a 2x4x5 tent with a 250w MH in 3 gallon fabric pots in a 70/30 mix of coco coir.
For nutrients I'm using the general hydroponics floratrio with a calmag supplement on the side.
I plan to use LST in the grow with 1 of each. 1 of the Girl scout cookies i'm going to leave to grow mostly natural to see the difference between LST and natural. today marks day 20 for these girls. the WW and GSC are both 8-9 week strains whereas the critical auto is 10-11 weeks. I hope everybody has a merry christmas!

Thanks geo!! I’ll be doing an update tomorrow around 8 EST

hey everyone! sorry I've been slacking so much, I hope everybody is having a good new years. yesterday was day 26 for the 4 autos and I grabbed some pics and then proceeded with some tie downs. Being it that tonight is new years I got a lil distracted and forgot to take pics after the tie down lol. all 4 of the girls are showing pistils and soon enough we'll be kicking butt in the flowering stage!

Pulled up a seat and along for this grow show to player! Can’t wait to see how these autos kick off !

 

[playerunknown]

well It's 3 am and today marks day 30 since these girls have sprouted and they're doing quite well! I've started LST on them to allow the growth tips to catch up to the (hopefully) soon to be full canopy! The critical+2.0 auto has the best additional growth so far in my opinion and the White widow is a very stretchy girl! I'm most excited to see how the 2 GSC turn out. all plants are showing pistils now, so hopefully they're starting the transition to flower and they'll get a nice stretch in and end up filling up the tent quite nicely

Looking good with the training! All of them are lush and green

Happy to have you as always my friend!

Well thank you !

Looking nice and healthy. Good shade of green to them. Still got a bit of stretching to do yet. Good job player!

hey folks! today is day 38 since sprout for these 4 girls and they're officially in flower they ran into some nute burn so the other day I fed with just plain water and I'm gonna knock the nutes down tomorrow for their next feeding. The critical+2.0 is the shortest plant so far so I'm not sure how to feel about it. To be honest, this being my first auto run I'm not sure what to think of any of these plants because I have nooooo idea what they'll turn out to be. anyways here they are

 

[playerunknown]

hey guys! still getting some pretty serious nute burn so I snapped some pics of some of the leaves. I'm thinking of doing a flush of the coco coir to kind of get a fresh slate. I've been feeding nutrients at every feeding so I don't know if that could be the problem or not but I'm pretty stumped at this point and it's getting pretty into the flowering stage. Hope you guys are able to give me some insight! @Ganjagrandaddy @Dutchman1990

 

[Dutchman1990]

Since your in coco I would do a good flush and then give them a light (1/4 strength) feeding once flush is done because you don’t want to starve them. Can you get some photos of the buds to? Have you done anything with bloom nutes yet? Not sure how the rest of the plants look!

Also let’s get another set of eyes here

Looks a bit like a potassium deficiency to me with all that browning on the leaf edges. What's the NPK of what you're feeding it and what's the PPM going in? Are you adding cal-mag or any additional supplements?

hey shed! I'm not sure of the PPM or NPK. How would I figure out the NPK? as for @Dutchman1990 I'll snap some pics when they wake up!

 

[InTheShed]

The nutes you are using should have NPK values on the bottle/bag. They read like 7-12-10 which would be 7 parts Nitrogen, 12 parts Phosphorus, and 10 parts Potassium. If you don't have a PPM meter then we'll never know the answer to that.

Dutch's question about bloom nutes is a good one. Have you changed what you're feeding them since they went into flower?

with the floratrio you use the micro, the bloom and the gro all at the same time just with reduced amounts depending on the stage. as of right now, the recommended dose is 1tsp gro(veg) 2 tsp micro and 3 tsp bloom.

 

[InTheShed]

Does it ever recommend higher levels of bloom on their schedule?

 

[playerunknown]

they have different stages isted on the bottle. seedling, veg, transition, bloom. bloom is when the highest level of bloom is being used.

I would do a flush and then feed with a light feeding but up your potassium po

You're in with the potassium diagnosis?
