Thank you for the reminder to double check (I did originally but not since the list was expanded). I'm goodHey Rex...did you check to see if your dehumidifier is on the recall list? Grow looks great!

Thank youI think potassium deficiencies are rare in veg, so I'd skip the Terp. You have so many nutes listed that I don't know what specifically to tell you, but it's more likely cal mag.
Also, 21,000 lux might be a bit high for them at this point.
I agree with shed I also doubt a p deficiency but terpinator is very gentle and I couldn't see it hurting much , wow she is getting light !!! It's going to be tight node spacing for you good sir !!!!!! Looking good
I like to look at it as there is never to much light , I remember watching a video saying that everything else just has to keep up to the light,,,, I guess it's all about balance ,,,,, I'm risking it with my veg light now blasting my little onesHey HashFart! Thank you, I just give 'em as much as they will tolerate without stress. If i see any phototropism then I know (/hope) that I'm hitting that happy spot for them. So far they've shown no stress, and are loving the ViparSpectra.
Afternoon @Rexer! Is that normal growth for a 15 day old autoflower? Just curious!Hello friends, I hope you all are doing well and enjoying your weekends. The first little growth spurt has happened or started, and the Bruce Banner Auto is loving life at the moment. The White Berry Auto seems to be showing healthy new growth with the deficiency stopped. The Somango Auto is the smallest so far, but hopefully she'll pick up the pace soon. The @ViparSpectra P4000 is working wonderfully and I'm looking forward to seeing this solid light produce flowers.
Day 15
Tent temp: 27.5C
Tent RH%: ~50-70%
Previous PPM: : 440 ppm
Current PPM: 420 PPM ( drop)
Adjusted PPM to: 451 PPM
PH: 6.6 (adjusted to 5.8)
Res temp: 20.7C
Water level: ? Will check tomorrow prior to res change.
Hi Cola,Afternoon @Rexer! Is that normal growth for a 15 day old autoflower? Just curious!They look great by the way!

I'm new to the autoflower thing myself and so far have had more than dismal results.Hi Cola,
Thank you!
I'd love to say in general for autos their probably roughly normal for their age, but the simple truth is- I'm not experienced enough to answer. The Bruce Banner is definitely the largest at this age that I've had.
I'm new to the autoflower thing myself and so far have had more than dismal results.I've only had two real autoflower plants that did alright but nothing like I see on the P.O.T.M. thread where some of those plants are huge throwing out multiple colas for me to gawk at in amazement.
How they do that with such a short veg. & flower time I'll never get or understand.
Thanks for the timely reply, much appreciated!![]()
I've been doing things the wrong way obviously starting with small containers in the beginning not big 10 gal. ones like you suggested. Ya live, ya learn!The funny thing is, all I've ever grown is autos. But with different mediums the results will definitely vary. I think I've grown 8 in total to flower, but have read many many journals on here- and have seen the varied results you've said.
The only thing I could offer is, solid Genetics. Lots of training and careful defoliation. I'll be trying a slightly different approach for training then I've done in the past. The downside to lots of training and careful defoliation is that it delays flowering and turns it into a 100-120 day grow, and not the fast results that autos are often sought for.
One thing I haven't touched a lot on yet is lighting schedule. Currently they're on 24 hrs of light. I will eventually switch to an 18/6 light schedule, and will keep that until the end. Anything less then those two will reduce size and yield, IMO.
And the other, often said solid advice is pot size. Reducing transplanting and placing in a large final container will increase likelihood of having a larger plant. For this grow I'm using 10 gallon buckets.
Again this is all from my reading and limited experience. It's probably stuff you've heard before, but at its core is the same thing that I've seen in all the good auto journals I've followed.
Since you're growing kinda outdoors (I'm guessing you don't have much control over that environment?), I can tell you that from both my experience and from watching and asking others, the best autos are at least vegged in a controlled tent environment. Once they go into flower they'll do great outside, but they really seem to veg longer (and get much bigger before flowering) in more stable conditions.I've been doing things the wrong way obviously starting with small containers in the beginning not big 10 gal. ones like you suggested. Ya live, ya learn!
I've also been curious at what point I should start feeding autoflowers and how much to give them at each stage of their short life's and why I went back to photos for the time being so at least I'd have something to harvest every few months.
Hmm well, correct me if I'm wrong but you grow in soil correct? If so I *think* 5-7 gallon is the average used (and fabric/geo pots).I've been doing things the wrong way obviously starting with small containers in the beginning not big 10 gal. ones like you suggested. Ya live, ya learn!

Thanks Prof! Pleasure to have you here! So far I'm really impressed by the lightlooking forward to seeing what the P series is like.
Good job Rex.
Thanks Mcdoolit!I was showing the hubby ur setup last night. They are looking awesome!
I think I need bigger fans. Not sure, but I can't keep the room temp cool enough (it is hot as hell here though). I also have to use the humidifier. I think our babies are about the same age.![]()
