DP Auto Mazar, Ace Auto Zamal & Multiple Mephisto Crosses!

[Deketx]

So after a couple weeks fighting low temps I pulled my head out of my ass and got some heat mats and it's on. A couple DP Auto Mazar's, an Ace Seeds Auto Zamal that will be out next year, and a few Mephisto crosses from a buddy. I planned on a 6 plant grow, well it's looking like a 9 plant grow.
Started in 1gal pots, will up pot to 5gal, with FFOF, and going to run Mega Crop all the way to the finish. Maybe a bit of calmag if needed. Simplicity is what I'm going for.

I’ve heard great stuff about ace genetics will be keepin an eye on this one!

So far so good with the Ace Zamal. It's almost 10 days behind the others and is about the same size as the rest. One of the the DP Mazar's is slow. The rest seem to be ok, but all the temp issues I believe have hindered my growth. Too cold air, too hot heat mats drying out and stunting growth. Well that's what my cannabis Sherpa Emily thinks and I do what she says, lol. So my heat mats have been turned off. I'm hoping that flowering will be delayed because of the cold and give the girls a chance to grow!

Hopefully the stress hasn’t stunted them too bad, autos are very finicky from what I’ve read so hopefully all is well and they still kick ass and make you proud if they are too stunted are you planning on starting more seeds?

 

[Deketx]

I'll probably let them do their thing. It'll be cold here until April, so ill just deal with what happens.
I can say this though, the plants that are a week and a half younger that I started in the Detroit nutrient company soil that I used in my last grow, they are almost the size of the plants that are a week and a half older than them that are in Fox Farms. Weather the Fox Farms is the reason or not, I'm watching the younger plants outgrow the older plants in a different soil under the same lights in the same cold so you tell me, LOL?

Sounds like some interesting stuff. Good luck.

I'm in first page, I'll tag along. I'm interested in your genetics and FFOF. I've been looking at changing my soil around also. As you I want to keep it simple.

 

[Deketx]

Simplicity is all I want. So I'll be judging this soil this go around. To start the FFOF is much chunkier and full of bark compared to the DNC soil which is light and fluffy. Plenty use FFOF, but that doesn't mean shit if the other soil out performs it. We'll see.

 

[Zincite]

Hey Deketx what sort of heat mat you using?

 

[Deketx]

Just some I got off Amazon. Next time I'll add a Rainbird controller that will control both mats. Live and learn.

 

[Zincite]

thanks I'll check it out.

So I broke down and added a small heater. So far temps are in the upper 60's. They plants responded. I've up potted 4 in 5gal , and have 3 more to go. One DP Auto Mazar is just a tiny so it gets a 2 gal pot and what ever happens happens. Upped the Mega Crop to 3 grams watering every 2 days give or take. Half are 4 weeks, half are 2.5 weeks. The younger plants are out growing the older plants. Imo it's the soil they are in , Detroit Nutrient Co. soil. The rest in FFOF is behind. We'll see.

So the last week all the girls that haven't have decided it's time to flower. Plus the growth has been great. I'm feeding 4 grm MC every 3-4 days or so. Next feed will be 4.5grm. I might be behind on the amount but they look good so I'm not going to f### with them right now. I do know I'm going to have to do something about the smell this time. The genetics I'm growing now stink!!!! Even before they started to pop. Shit...again sorry for the COB pink shot I hate turning off my set because the crappy electrical here hates it. Threw a breaker yesterday.

 

[Deketx]

So it's been a while. Suffered a lockout, flushed, learned how much Mega Crop is needed give or take. Things have stabilized but left some scars. On a positive note flowering is back on track and is going well and the whole place stinks to high heaven! Thanks to @Emilya for all the help figuring things out and getting the girls through! Here's a few pics from tonight. 2-4 weeks left since I have diff strains and germ times.

[Deketx]

Almost ready!

 

[Emilya Green]

alright! They are looking great!

 

[Deketx]

Getting close! Watching the Amber daily, and I'm thinking less than a week for most except the sativas. The room reeks of skunk and orange citrus smell. Im seeing purple tint in a couple and the dark devil is starting to live up to its name. Now I've got to figure out if I'm going use the same dying method I used last time.

 

[Deketx]

Chopped the Dark Devil and SODK. Easily doubling my out put from last grow. Sticking with the Mega Crop for sure.

One more down. Bluetoof × Royal Gorilla cross. Smells like orange skunk and super sticky!
