AutoFem Grow - 600W HPS - 20/4 - Kush N Cheese - Dr K Incredible Bulk - Royal Cheese

[BillBud]

Hi Guys,

First Auto grow.

-600w HPS
-Basic extractor & fan kit
-Tent: 1x2, 1x2, 2m
-Bio Bizz light mix soil (30% perlite added)
-10 litre round buckets

-Basically been reading shit loads on peoples experiences and advice.
Used logic and what knowledge I could to put together my first auto grow.

-I started my seedlings under the 600w HPS lamp, on 24 hour lighting even before they broke through the soil (planted in final pots from the get go.) Currently under 20/4.

Planted 4 strains initially:
Dinafem Kush N Cheese Auto
Fast Buds Blackberry Auto
Dr Krippling Incredible Bulk Auto
Fast Buds Rhino Ryder Auto


1)Dinafem sprouted first and has been going strong ever since.
2)Fast Buds Blackberry also sprouted but has been growing a bit fucked up.
3)Dr Krippling Incredible Bulk is going strong too right behind the Kush n Cheese.
4) FAst Buds Rhino Ryder didn't pop and the seed looked dead.

Replaced the Rhino Ryder with Royal Queen seeds Royal Cheese.
(Hasn't sprouted yet)

Hope to gain experience and solid advice from the already experienced growers.

Pics will follow shortly.

Week 2 Update


Here's the Dinafem Kush N Cheese

Incredible Bulk

And the Fast Buds Blackberry which looks like it's having a hard time for some reason..
Any advice would be appreciated!

 

[BillBud]

Leaves on the Fast Buds Blackberry are slightly curling but not crispy.
There's also a slight discolouration from a light green to more yellowish, with slight white mini lines/narrow dots.
The bucket was watered initially with the soil in it just like the others, plus I'm pretty sure there's still enough water in the soil.
It's placed at a distant from the light which prevents burning.

Added a touch of water today to see if that helps.

It's still growing though..

Help anyone?

 

[Stanovich420]

You doing great,and your girls look healthy to me
I wouldn't really bother about that little curl on the leaves.
What is the light distance ?? Looks like a slight heat stress,what's your temps in a tent?
Since you got 600hps,they produce nice heat...
Btw,buckets you use got holes on bottom for drainage?

Take care

Light distance is good I think, temps are okay too. Not sure why the leaves would curl, It's the yellowing and white dots that are troubling me!
The buckets have drainage holes at the bottom. I stuck my finger in and the soil still seems damp.

 

[Stanovich420]

Light is definitely far enough
Your temps are a bit too high...is that 27' C on floor and 32.5' C is where?
I try to keep my tents between 18' C towards 25'C
Your humifity is relatively low for veging,ideal for flowering.
Try increase humidity to round 50-60%.

Okay, thanks Stanovich420. Will invest in a proper hygrometer as I feel that it's more humid than the current measuring states!

Also dude, any idea on when I should start feeding nutes?

 

[Stanovich420]

Never used Bio bizz ligh mix soil,but it says enough minerals for 4 weeks.
I started on day 15-17 with 1/4 doses and they loved it.
In your case i would hmgive it a 1/4 dose on next feeding,and see what they behave.
They will tell you. i always go by gut feelingsMake sure if you decide feed her with nutes,go light and DO NOT drown them.
At this stage i think they need little amount of water,like 250ml,bit more
What nutes you planning to use? Got ph meter?
What water u using? Any info helps

 

[BillBud]

Okay dude.Have a Ph meter, soil stabilising at 6.5.
Was advised to just give them tap water left out at night. Working great so far!
Going to go for the biobizz nutes and see how these girls take it.
Thanks for the advice, and please stay tuned to see how these girls end up!

Week 4 (I think!)
Added a few ml of biobizz bio grow to the watering feed.
Not Really looking to load the ladies with too much nutes, as I'm opting for the 'organic approach'. Ladies looking very healthy, however will see as time passes..



Dinafem Kush n Cheese

Incredible bulk.. Who looks like she's riding low to form a bush.

And the Fast buds Blackberry.. Girl's leaves look discoloured, but is still flourishing.

Also added a new member to the family
Royal cheese Auto by Royal seeds!

Will also be adding a Dinafem Blue Cheese auto in the next day or so.. As you can tell, I do love my cheese

 

[BillBud]

Bit of help guys.. From what I've been reading, the bottom leaves on the girls turn yellow and die in order for energy to be redirected to the upper leaves. This happens when she's about to start flowering.
Is this the case with my girl?
Or is this a case of Nitrogen deficiency?!
(All upper leaves look very healthy otherwise..)

 

[BillBud]

Update soon

Also a few pics from recent trip to Amsterdam..
