AutoFlower + CFL - Haze 2.0 & Amnesia

[Elki]

My first grow
First question: Underfeed/Overfeed?!

Stain: Dinafem's Autoflower - (3) Haze 2.0 and (1) Original Amnesia
Lights: 1 125w 2700k, 1 32w 2700k and 2 45w 6500k = 247w - running 20/4 hours light on/off.
Pots: 9 or 12L pots (not shure)
Soil: Light-mix(1 haze is in a 50% coco 50% perlite)
nutrition: BioBizz (Grow, Bloom and topmax)

Setup:

Air outtake: Diameter: 4" (100mm), 105.10CFM/88.76CFM (178m3/hr-150m3/hr)
Air intake: Strong Pc-fan
Carbon Filter: 38mm carbon
Grow room: 180cm/80cm/60cm
Temp: 20/27 C* (night/day temp)

The first 2 weeks was with only the 125w CFL, then added the other lights.

First sign of the 3 haze autoflowers was on the 13 August so they are in week 5 now.
Got 1 Amnesia witch is almost 2 weeks now.

Startet up with a shitty small grow room witch i got rid off after 2 weeks.
The 3 haze's startet in coco soil, after 2 weeks i desided to repot cuz of the small 3L pots i startet in (fail)
(I read alot about not repoting auto but did it anyways)

Plant 1 got stunned about 2 weeks by the repoting, but startet to get more bushy then the others (startet to grow in hight again the last 7-8 days) , plant 2 and 3 just got stunned a cuple of days but recovered well after.

Have bin feeding with bio Bizz every watering. (every 3-4 days, 1/4 to 1/2 strength, PH 6,3-7,0)

(POSTING SOME PHOTOS OF YELLOW LEEFS, NEED HELP!!)

Day 1 Haze

Day 14 (First 2 weeks only 125w CFL, then i added 32w)

Don't worry about those leaves, they were probably shaded and deemed not necessary.

Remember that they are essentially dying as they reach maturity,

So they look stranger and stranger in this transitional stage.

Keep up your feeding and watering regime and watch the new growth, not the old.

The plant will direct all her efforts to the areas that get the most light.

She sucks the nutrients out of old or shaded leaves and drops them.

I assume you have stopped spraying water over them

Cool thx alot ! ill be posting more photos soon.
Should i stop spraying them with water? why? i do it once a day..

Re: Autoflower+CFL (Haze 2.0 and Amnesia)

subscribed. you want pH 5.8 for hydroponic and soiless (peat moss and coco coir) and pH 6.5 for soil. the yellowing of lower leaves is normal. re potting automatic flowering cannabis plants disrupts their growth cycle, it is suggested to plant them in their final pot. I would switch your lighting schedule to 18/6 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. you should not spray water on your plants unless you are foliar feeding or spraying for insects, plants do not require this.

here is a nutrient availability chart

Re: Autoflower+CFL (Haze 2.0 and Amnesia)

thx for the advice.. i have read that turning down the light schedule its going to stress the plant?

Here are some more photo's, they are really starting to create bigger buds now. They are still a bit small because of the repoting :/

Day 39 Plant 1

Day 39 plant 2

Day 39 Plant 3

UPDATE!

Sorry for the long wait

The 3 haze auto is at day 55 now and amnesia is at day 31.

i was looking with a 60-100x magnifying glass, and 10-15 procent of the tricomes are amber (main buds) i guss is too erly to harvest right?
On dinafems webside is sais haze: 80 days.. what should i do?

The white hairs are almost all redish now, the photos are a few days old

Heres some photos.

It is too soon to harvest yet. I would plan your harvest for day 80 and keep an eye on how much your plant swells in your photograph updates.

 

[Elki]

Hi again

I have a question on harveting/drying by buds, they are at day 76 so its almost time, the tricomes are 25-30% amber, and the last 7 days i have been giving them only PH water.
my drying room is 30C* and around 40% humidity..

I have read that the best conditions is around 20C* and 50% humidity?

Heres a photo of the bigest (Dinafem's Haze 2,0)

Thx

Really nice big buds for such small plants.

The temperature & humidity of your drying room still sounds alright. They will just dry much faster (which isn't so good, you should at least dry them for 14 days), so you might wanna leave on more during the trimming. This is supposed to keep the humidity higher.
They have dried enough once the smaller stems will snap when you try to bend them, but the bigger stems are still a bit flexible when you try to bend them.

 

[Elki]

Thx for the advice !

so if i fill up the drying room the humidity will rise = slower Drying?? just to be clear?

Just my high school physics knowledge, but the higher a room's humidity the slower things in it dry. This is because humidity essentially means how much water is in the air, if there is already a lot of water in the air (high humidity) it can transfer less water from objects.

So yea, if you will increase the humidity, it will dry slower. But you will also have a higher risk of mold!

40% is fine, from what I read, you should be worried if it's less than 30%.

Hi again

So the harvest is finaly done

Photos:

so the final result are: (3 dinafem haze 2.0 autoflower under about 250w clf for 82 days)
- 433g wet
- 104 dry

Now to the Drying/curring proces

It dryed out in about 8-9 days, then i placed them i jars
BUT when i open the jars there is a harsh/wet smell

So i have bin letting all the bud out for 2-4 hours a day, sometimes more for about 6 days now, but still got that harsh smell to it.

i have check for mold several times, and there is not anyting at all.

the buds are dry on the outside but when i squees them they are sticky are u can smell a nice good smell of what u expect cannabis to smell like.

im using this method of curring:

more then 70% humidity - leave buds out for 12-24 hours
65% - leave out for 2-4 hours
55-65% - curring.
less then 55% - to dry

congratulations on your harvest!

Thanks for sharing your grow with us!

Please don't forget to head over to the 420 Strain Reviews forum and post a smoke report!

I’m moving this to completed journals now. Looking forward to seeing your new Journals in Progress


I hope you'll stop by my favorite thread and post a picture of those beautiful buds - Creme De La Creme Cannabis Photos

Hope all is well in your world.

 

[PerthPiper]

That is a super harvest considering the grow was autos and CFL. And sorry I can't help with your smell problem. I had a similar experience except it was an empty, papery smell. Good luck with the cure

 

[drama420]

hey nice grow from stunted plants .. i have a few stunted autos growing now so seeing your journal gives me hope. what nutes did u use on this grow?
