Double Diesel Haze Photo First Time Grow Journal

[kisshell]

Your tent is 3 x 2 ? = 6sqft / 150w = 25 w/ sqft.
Recommend watts / sqft in flower is 40w / sqft.
Par for flower recommendations are 700 to 1050 par.
The light is a touch weak for flower but you have babies right beside them.
I would turn the light up slowly until I had it full strength without hurting the babies.
But I'd put the flowering girl on a stand so she is closer.
60 cm - 45 cm - 30cm - right to 18 cm if she can take it.
My big flower room was 60w/sqft and by end of flower I had some of my sativa's 3 cm from the lights.
It wasn't optimal but the buds were amazing.
She may not like it that close but if you have to move her a bit at a time until you find out.
Otherwise you will have light airy buds.

Do you think plants grow short if light is too close. I just put a small base to raise the height of the flowering auto.
My other plants do seem to be smaller right ?

They need the energy from the light for growth.
Weak light energy = weak growth.
More light gives you bigger stronger girls.
What do you have your timer set at?

Hi Bill,
The lights are at 18/6. So you think it's just genetics that all my plants are really small. I and my friend thought all them got short because the light was really close.
Now I just raised the auto and its getting 850 par and moved the lights to 54cm.
How much will the plant grow. Will it give 10gms. I just noticed a small nodes still growing but most of them flower real quick and small.

 

[Bill284]

Your past the stretch?
3 weeks into flower?
After 3rd week of flower growth is very minimal.
She is going to start building up the buds.
The others will grow though.
I can’t tell volume sorry but the more energy she gets the better the buds will be.
It is thought that 20/4 is optimal for auto’s.
Might help.

Stay safe
Bill

I don't think I would do 20-4 just because of energy bills. I do have solar and normally I don't have to pay electric bill.

How much ppm do you think I should give her. I am giving her about 550 ppm for now as she is small. Do I just give 700+ ppm?
I am also not sure if you do just water one day and nute another run in flower and so on?

The auto flowered may 4 (started showing pistils) So today is end of week 2 flower.

Do you have the schedule for your nutrients ?
You should be following it.
Girls in flower range from 800 to 1200 ppm depending on water and strain.
But your in soil right?
No need to read Ppm’s , just follow the schedule.
When your pot is dry really dry
Feed full strength nutrients at 6.3 ph.
Then let dry out.
Then plain water at 6.3 ph.
Dry out again.
Then feed full strength at 6.3.
Dry.
Water.
Dry.
Feed.
Repeat all the way to harvest.
I understand about the light.
Electricity here is expensive.
Solar is the way to go.

Hey Bill,
I raised the pot by little and increased the light right , I think the lower bud started growing real good. I am surprised . I am gonna put it more higher tommorow. My tent is really packed so I am not able to find the right thing put in the base. Gona put some wood to raise it. I am also gona setup a 2x2 tent for veg. It's the same height 5ft

Another update guys,
The coco plant is growing good(18 days)and I am planning to take clone from the lower growth. I fimmed it and lst.
The same auto in seed mix (top middle) is smaller but good. I broke one of the node as it was lowered after lst . It's not even 2-3 cm but tried cloning it ..lol
The sugar cookies auto(3rd week flower end tommorow)are going good too as I am using liquid organic potash nutes but can you guys advise me when I know I should harvest?
The photoperiod to the bottom right is looking good and I am wishing for the smaller nodes to grow up to take clones.

I also have my second tent for veg ready. I had to cut the tent to fit my space from 60x60 to 50x60.
The banana kush auto in the seed mix in the bottom left is growing really small(13 day)
I thing it is already stunted...

I am slo germinating two bag seeds x1 and x2. Hope they are female and hope they are not hermies.

Another update guys,
I have tried to clone the bigger Bb autoflower in 18 day. Hope it takes off but got one of them to pull out by mistake today and didn't see any root.Today was 6th day of clones. I used just coco and perlite medium and have been spraying water and inside sandwich bag.
My other small 2x2 grow tent is also ready so moved the flowering auto there.

 

[kisshell]

Update for this week guys,
Another sugar cookies has been started with coco and it's looking so healthy. And the coco auto is just huge and yet to flower.
The soil auto is in 10 days of flower and is looking good too.
Did a heavy defoil to the double diesel photo period. It's really small compared to coco BB.
I put the smaller photo on the smaller tent along with Sugar cookies stunted auto and flowering BB.
I also put down about 5 clones 11 days and 2 clones 5 days and non of the have roots popping up in the small pot. I always put the in the sandwich bag and spray water once a day. I also added nutes once. The medium is coco Hopefully in another week I can see roots as most them has really turned light green and may die. They were taken really small. Hopefully the newer 2 clones work.
Hope to chop of the small auto soon. It smells so good. I think I never smoked something like this before just judging from the smell.

Harvest time for Sugar cookies auto!!
May be 5 gms tops. Still curing but half stock is already gone.
Incredible aroma and taste. I used to love sativa but loved this 50/50 hybrid. The harvest was sad but I have my last of this seed on coco and it's growing same as the BB.
Both Bb auto in flower in separate tent. Coco is just incredible. It's one brach is equal to the soil BB auto. Whattttt?!!!
Also, moved one of the smaller photo to outdoor greenhouse to flower. Not sure if it will complete in this weather though. The other photo is still going but still really small.

Also only one clone I took from from the soil survived. I transplanted it in one gallon coco pot. None of the coco clone survived. Banana kush auto in soil is fine but it's almost time to flower and comparatively small. It had some issue early on so lot of time wasted .

Hey guys,
Hope eveything is good with you all.
So this was my first journal.
This was mainly focused on 2 photo double diesel and one auto Sugar cookies.
I learned a lot from this grow and thanks to everyone for all the great advices.
I couldn't have done it without you guys.
So I was running out and decided to put the plants outdoor.
Here it's winter and weather is harsh but not too harsh.
Usually 15c at night but humidity is high in greenhouse. I just put 2 small 500ml dehumdifier. It's raining right now so outside normal humidity is 93 and its 86 in the greenhouse. But day time its usually is good 24c and humidity is 40 to 50.. Best for flowering.
I am just worried about bud rot from night time..
The plants do seem to like it better outdoors. I just moved the younger but fatter plant 2 days ago while other is sitting there for almost 2 weeks now and has started to pre flower .

I am gonna start a new journal and all of them are autos in coco. My second run is far better and also succesfull auto clones!!

Hope all is well in your world.

How did this grow turn out?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?
