This is the beginning of my 4th grow with my 3rd in stretch at this point. I'm targeting a finish date of around November 27 which is 10 weeks from now. The seed supplier states the comprehensive grow period is 60-65 days.
This is my first attempt at an Auto and I'm looking forward to the learning process. I'm starting with a seed I traded with another member here.
The seed is a UK Cheese Auto.
I just dropped this morning and will start my day count from first sign of a root. Initially soaking in water as I did with my 2nd grow seeds. Figured it works well for them, should do well for this one hopefully.
Plan for the grow.
Media will be Hempy 3/1 perlite/vermiculite in a Dollar Tree waste paper basket. Hole drilled at 2inches above bottom.
Light will be initally a 6500K T5 2 bulb fixture with blue blubs. I find this light provides excellent initial growth with really tight node spacing. Following with a DIY HLG 100watt 4000K quantum board. Both will be on a 24hr schedule for the entire grow.
Tent is a 2x2 foot by 4 foot tall. A little short for flowering, however I plan on doing quite a bit of super cropping during the stretch period and spread the branches out. I'm looking at the option of topping at least once very early on. My success with previous plants has been good as the hempy process doesn't seem to be bothered by it. I have a blower pulling air out and will add a carbon filter as needed once stretch is complete.
Nutrient will be MegCrop at 4 grams per gallon of water. Might use DynaGro Protekt for a little extra protection. Will pH balance mix at 5.75 as a target since I'm using Hempy technique.
