First Time Doing Autos

[Old Ron]

I originally were doing these outdoors, however my work travel schedule blew up I had to bring my autos indoors. 2 of the 7 were lost to the elements while I was traveling last week. Transplanted 4 of the surviving ones with what soil I had left in 3 gallon fabric pots. The one in the solo cup was started in there in the tent.

The solo cup is a Snow Ryder. The rest are Sour Diesel, GSC, Monster Kush and Afghani #1. Another Snow Ryder and Jack Herrer were lost.

Sorry for the losses, nice line up ya got going

Thanks. Hoping to get these to the finish line.

The autos are moving along. The Snow Ryder is about 5 days older then the rest and really starting to grow. They are in my own organic soil mixture.

Finally returned from my work travel. The autos have started to grow quickly. Changed the light from a 400w mil to a 600w HPS.

Snow Ryder 18 days old

Afghani #1 12 days old

Monster Kush 13 days old

Sour Diesel 13 days old

GSC 12 days old

Looking good

 

[Old Ron]

Thanks @Stormblessed. Hopefully they look good in a couple of months. I have already killed 6 autos so far before they really got started. Hope to finish this one.

My autos are about 3 weeks old now. After I switched the 400w mh for a 600w hps, this too will eventually be replaced with an LED, and dropped the light to 18 inches, they really took off. The 4 x 4 tent stays around 78 degrees with 50% humidity

They are planted in my own organic soil mix. I use Harvest N&O container soil. I add Black Kow Manure, Peat Moss, Perlite, EWC, Bone and Blood Meal, lime and Mykos. I then add regular potting soil to help cut the heat some. They are given cal/mag and Flower Girl by Dr. Earth twice a week

The first is Snow Ryder. Next is Afghani #1. Then Monster Kush, next is Sour Diesel and last is GSC.

They look to be coming along nicely I'm interested to see how that Snow Ryder turns out. One that's on my radar for a future grow. Will you be doing any kind of training with them or just letting them go?

 

[Old Ron]

Thanks @VetSmoke85. I am just going to let them grow. I will keep updating their progress and how they smoke. The Snow Ryder and the Sour Diesel are growing faster then the others it seems.

 

[Old Ron]

The switch in lights has really helped the autos. With the soil mix I used, I am only feeding them Cal/Mag once a week currently. They are pictured in the normal order.

 

[Old Ron]

The autos are 7 weeks old. The Sour Diesel and Snow Ryder, which is 5 days older, are competing for the tallest. The Afghani is bushing out while the GSC is really not filling in. The Monster Kush was the last to start flowering.

I have taken down 4 of the 5 autos. Only the Monster Kush is left. I will let them dry for 10 days or so then do a dry trim on them. Let them cure for a month or so, if needed.
