600W digital ballast lumatek
600W lumatek lamp HPS dual spec
A-just A Wing medium reflector
Vent Cyclon Vortex 150mm/500m3 per hour
One small fan for air intake
2 small floor fans
1 big standing fan
1 portable air condition 8000 btu/hour
1 air pump to bubble the tap water for at least 24 hours
The plan is simple. I will go with a light schedule 20/4 from day 1 to the last day of the last auto to be harvested.
That will give me enough time(3 months probably) to create some huge photo plants.
After the last Auto is chopped the light schedule will go 12/12 and the 2 hopefully huge plants will have the whole tent to flower.
GERMINATION
I followed the classic way. Put the seeds in a glass of water in a dark place for 24 hours. Then placed them in to wet paper for 24 hours more(or longer if needed, till the first root shows up).
PLANTING and TRAINING
Autos like the first time were planted directly to the large pots 30 Lt ( Biobizz light mix soil) and no topping just LST.
Photos were planted in 2 Lt pots same soil and they will be transplanted in a few days in the 30 Lt pots. I topped them at the 3rd node and now i'm applying some LST too. Probably there will be one or 2 more toppings.
on day 6 i start the root additives from Advanced N.(Voodoo Juice, Tarantula,Piranha) in every watering with a ratio 1ml/Lt from each.
around day 8 i also start adding B-52 also with a ratio of 1ml/lt.
On Day 15 i start the basic nutes with Powder Feeding from Strain Hunters. And here is the mess. Powder instructs to be used every other watering in soil to avoid building salts in the medium.
So after day 15, one watering is with Powder Feeding for short flowering + small doses from AN additives, and one watering is with only AN additives in normal doses. Never plain water until flush.
Powder starts with a ratio 0,25g/Lt and slowly increase until 1,5g/Lt in Flowering.
On day 20 i start the Calcium additive from Strain Hunters. I use it only every other watering(NEVER with Powder. only with the AN additives).
This is the schedule i use as basic info (its not my schedule but its tested) of knowing when root boosters are needed or B-52, Sensizym etc.
Re: A-Train's Advanced Autoflower Feed Schedlue
Day 1 to day 10 = plain water bubbled 24 hrs
Day 10 to day 15 = .5ml/L - Grow / Micro / Bloom
2ml/L - Vodoo Juice / Piranha / B52
Day 15 to day 20 = 1ml/L - Grow / Micro / Bloom
2ml/L - Vodoo Juice / Piranha / B52 .5ml/L - Cal/Mag
Day 20 to day 30 = 1.5ml/L - Grow / Micro / Bloom 2ml/L - B52 /Rhino Skin / 1ml/L - Cal- Mag / Sensizyme
Day 30 to day 35 = 1.5ml/L - Grow / Micro / Bloom 1ml/L - Voodoo Juice / Piranha / Rhino Skin / 2ml/L -Cal -Mag / Bud Candy
Day 35 to day 40 = 2ml/L - Grow / Micro / Bloom / Cal-Mag / Bud Candy 1ml/L - Voodoo Juice / Piranha /Big Bud
Day 40 to day 45 = 2ml/L - Grow / Micro / Bloom / Cal-Mag / Bud Candy 1ml/L - B52 / Big Bud / Sensizyme
Day 45 to day 60 = 2ml/L - Grow / Micro / Bloom / Overdrive/ Bud Candy / Cal - Mag 1ml/L - B52
Day 60 = full pot flush with hose 5 min...
Day 63 to finish = plain water
you will probably understand better with the first watering update.
BIG BANG AUTO and AUTO-BOMB are growing with the same rate slower than KALASHNIKOVA AUTO. So i use the same solution on the first 2 and slightly different for Kalashnikova.
