Autoflower Onxy and Blue Himalya Diesel - Homemade Dripper System

New Member
Swim is changing her methods from DWC to Dripper System... Swim has made a homemade dripper system for her next grom. Swim is doing autoflowering strains. These strains are ready for harvest 60-65 days from seed! They yield anywhere from 15g-45g with the avg. being 20g a plant. But Swim has read some plants producing over 100g. Hydro seems to increase the yields also.

Strains: Onxy-(AK47 x White russian and diesel) 10 seeds
Himalaya Blue Diesel- (new york city diesel x blueberry and an
automatic kush strain) 2 female seeds

Medium: 4"x4" rockwool cubes

Nutes: General Hydroponics (3 Part)
-Flora
-bloom
-micro
(bloombastic will be added during flowering---Heard good things bout this)

Lighting: 400 watt MH for veg/ 430 hps for flowering. Lights are on 24/7 and will continue this regiment all the way through since im doing autos.

Fan for temp control and circulation.

Swim has her nutes mixing in a 10 gal res. with two airstones for plenty of oxygen.

The Drippers are on a timer 3/day for 30mins....Feedings are 8 hours apart to allow for drying and drainage.

Swim started with 12 seeds. All 12 sprouted with 2 for sure female. They are sitting in 4"x4" rockwool cubes inside of a 45" planter with bout 3" of hydroton at the bottom of each planter. Each planter has a drainage tube that leads to the resevoir. The ladies are bout 3 weeks old....Swim has been using a 1/2 strength mix but is about to switch to full strength. After the first flowers are seen Swim plans to switch to bloom mixture and and some of the bloombastic (1/2) strength.
Swim also plans to keep 2 of the strongest males for seed production since auto cant be cloned or regenerated. Swim is hoping to cross the two different strains and make her own strain. :grinjoint:

Swim would love advice and comments good or bad. Thx

Re: Autoflower Onxy and Blue Himalya Diesel- Homemade Dripper System

Looking good! Nice you got 8 females!! Do you intend to take any clones?

I have never used 24/7, do 20/4 or 12/12, sorry! Maybe someone else can advise.
 
Re: Autoflower Onxy and Blue Himalya Diesel- Homemade Dripper System *Update*

I have actually been growing on 24/7 with 8 hours darkness (4 hr/day on the weekends) just so i can get a lil extra root growth.....everything is doing well since these plants rely on age and not light for flowering!!!!

Since the plants have a 65 day life cycle clones are advisible since any stress would significantly hurt the yield...also i wouldnt know how to regenerate the clone since putting them under continuous light wont revert them back to vegetative stage.

But i am planning on producing seeds with the biggest strongest male
 
*UPDATE* autos 6wks old

I was changing the nutes and decided to give an update to the ladies.... i had a lil problem with drooping and some yellowing leaves but all is good now

8 females
6 onxy and 2 himalaya blue diesel

plants are under a 430 son agro hps for 24hr for 5 days and 20/4 for 2 days

ladies are growing great....i have pollinated (spelling) a couple of the big females before removing the males and replaced them with new seedlings

sizes of plants are
  1. 23"
  2. 18"
  3. 15"
  4. 15"
  5. 13"
  6. 10"
  7. 8"
  8. 6" dwarf

about 2-3 more weeks until harvest
i will be adding Bloombastic for the final stage

will report back in a week....CHEERS!!!!:thumb:
 
Update @ 50 Days...15 days till harvest

We girls....in full bloom...im currently on the bloom regiment w/general hydroponics...also using bloombastic....girls are looking very nice....such a big difference from last week...very excited to see the end product..never done autos before but looks like that i got it right the first time..... Just hoping the big girl's buds get bigger...she was heavily pollenated and i feel like all the energy is going to seed production and not the buds...anyway enjoy the pics and happy new year!

Re: Autoflower Onxy and Blue Himalya Diesel- Homemade Dripper System

removed the males when they started showing...then when pollen sacs erupted i used a qtip to collect pollen the rubbed it on the selected buds!!!!
and looking better everyday....it amazing how much they are growing day by day
 
Welcome to the jungle!!! (HomeStretch)!!!!!!!!

im on the final days of flowering....some plants are finishing earlier then other....(A problem i hope to WEED out in the next grow by trying to use more of the same seeds from my best girl)....heres some pics to get the mouth watering.....ive cut 1 girl out (from the base of the stem) and put her in a glass of water (no nutes) to flush....i have an airstone in the glass (i guess it suppose to make the plant think its still alive).....prolly one more post right before harvest. enjoy

Re: Harvested and Drying

finally got done with the grow......it took longer then the 60-65 days stated by the seed maker but still worth it. 1-2 plants were done at about 65 days (trichs mostly milky white) the others took about 70-75 days...Might be because of the hps....its said that when you grow under hps the normally grow an extra week. But anyway...i didnt measure the ending product but seems the got about 3-5 inches taller then last measured.....Most of the plants had single colas....2-3 of them were branchy...Both HBD plants had single colas.....Many crystals on all the plants...all plants have a light bluish hue...some parts on some of the plants have a lil purple....but got a lil cold where they were at.....enought talk here are the pics....will report back the finally yield once dried (if i can keep my hands out the cookie jar:)
