I agree with Chris. It definitely looks like it’s in full flower. Especially at 24/0. But I have zero experience with autos. That’s why I tagged the guy that does

 

[PurpleSpace]

Do I need to worry about switching the light schedule to 12/12 this Saturday/Sunday?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

It's an auto, so no need to flip lights

But can run on 12/12 if yer flipping other plants

@Chris Scorpio thanks Chris I appreciate the advice and thank you @Silverfox125 for tagging him.
Chris, few questions regarding autos. Since I have been training them so much what kind of yield do you think I could expect? Why would I have gotten any autos when I purchased just reg feminized seeds? Should I expect them to flower in the time frame for SBR autos?
thanks I advance again. This is an early surprise I’d say I get to try it that much sooner!

I am gonna take about ten clones off A2 today since she does not appear to be an auto like the other 2. Planning following the How to clone in rock wool method

 

[Chris Scorpio]

No clue who yer seeds are from..so can't help there on why it's an auto

And yield is so subjective..soooo.. not familiar with your grow experience so yer guess is better than mine based on her size now

They are from Delicious Seeds, I purchased them while at the Detroit Cannabis Cup. Does that help at all?
I have only grown once before this. So still rather new. Lots and lots of research has been done though with the intention of increasing yield.

Day 3 of A2 Flower And Day 55 overall

I am still seeing some slight rust on A1 and A3 which are both the autos but A2 looks great. Ppm is around 1400-1500 ph 5.9-6.2
I now have a Ro line running to my grow room with a 50gallon trash can I picked up from menards that I’m using for my res. Another thing I want to not is my night temp is 59 and day is 72.


Last week I took clones before going into flower with A2 and so far all 11 are taking. I also started 5 Auto El Auquamista (northern lights x ak48) which I’ll be jamming in somewhere. Probably run some dwc in 5 gallon buckets and scrog them right next to the SBRs. I will get another little journal going for them. I have been very busy lately so bare with my lack of updates.

for now here are a few pictures. Tomorrow I’ll give you all some more
FYI - These pictures are from the last few days. I’ll get some fresh ones when the ladies wake up tomorrow.

 

[PurpleSpace]

Oh and I’m also planning on building my own led light eventually. Below is a blueprint of what I plan on building along with a few other pic I have taken lately.

I hope everyone is doing well in the Emerald Paradise!

Shhhhh.... she is sleeping

Day 57 overall/ Day 5 of Flower for A2(Anastasia)

Topped off the Res with straight ro water to compensate the slight ph drop/water drop/ ec raising. 71 degrees/ 51% humidity/ ph 6.1/ ppm 1450

Everything is Growing along nicely. Sorry for the blurple pics.. don’t want to turn all lights off mid grow if I can help it.
A1 and A3 (both auto) looking really good, getting some nice bud stacking going on and the leaves are starting to look like Jack Frost is dancing on them.
A2 (reg fem) stretching hard over the last 5 days and starting to stack them buds.
SBR clones are looking healthy.

For your viewing pleasures

 

[PurpleSpace]

Fun shots!

Day 60 overall/ Day 8 of flower for Anastasia

[Modest Grower]

Frosty monsters, man. Well done!

 

[PurpleSpace]

Thanks modest! I’m thinking another month and the autos(A1, and A3) will be done and another 2 for A2.

Any recommendations on when I should defoliate again?

Day 64 overall / Day 12 of flower for A2

Traded a half Oz for 2 600watt hps lights and got them hooked up. Should give a nice kick for flowering. The temps are getting higher though. Up to 83 so I’m trying to see what I can do to remedy it. I’m thinking a hole in the ceiling for some cold side from the attic. Then come summer I’ll vent my ac into the attic through said hole. A1 and A3 are really starting to beef up now.

Sorry for the de delay! I navigate this site via my phone only and I'm always behind. I defoliate as time allows and opportunity presents itself so I am not the best to ask. What I mean is I cut the lower stuff when I have time and I cut higher leaves when I notice they are covering bud sites. I'm not super structured on that front but it seems to work for me

 

[PurpleSpace]

@Modest grower No sweat brotha, I only use my phone as well and I am always behind to so I understand the struggle.
Temps are now down to 80 after opening the door. I hand to hang a blanket to block the light as seen in the picture

 

[Modest Grower]

That half oz for 2 lights seems like a sweet deal! I'm also interested in venting exhaust come summer time. I think I am going to T mine into a fan exhaust line in the bathroom next door that runs outside but there's always more to do.

 

[PurpleSpace]

These hps lights are Fucken hot! I don’t have a choice... I am going to have to do something soon unless I plan on leaving the door open during light on... which isn’t realistic at all if I have any company over. But definitely a sweet deal.
