Question:
the white staining on the leaves are on the only other pictures i've seen of this strain online (cropking jack auto fem), so i'm wondering if this might be a trait of the strain, whether a deficiency or just a genetic anomaly?

about a week or two as seedlings before throwing into hydro on august 5th, not quite sure what I would consider as a count to figure when this autoflower starts flowering etc...

I havent really taken too much notes just kind of going by ear.

Looking forward to this - very interested in CKS's JH!

I think it's a trait, if you search Google Images for "jack herer auto" you'll see quite a few like that. Gonna follow your thread cause I came very close to ordering this

sept 1 update...

heavy veg going on, the top performer is doing well, the stunted one too, just wont be near as good on yield if its female.

Also have lettuce going on in there, I wish I could get my cannabis roots to do so well, I wonder if subculture would do well.

anyway here is some progress photos

pretty much at full strength vegging nutes so far 1500-2000ppm range

 

[glimmergrass]

That's cool to see the roots! Looks good!

 

[urbanpharm]

holycrap they are moving along.... sexting time??

the smaller one (not sure, hoping female)

the high performer (almost undeniably female)

 

[glimmergrass]

Look at that Is it clearer now, are they both girls?

 

[urbanpharm]

Both girls for sure, bushy as hell too... Will update with pics later

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Congrats on your female (bottom pic). Any news on the other yet,

 

[glimmergrass]

Yay, GIRLS!

 

[urbanpharm]

girls confirmed... also growth progress... in transition nutrients.. will go to flower nutrients next week probably... looking like i'm gonna get a good amount of bud sites

sept 7 2015, at what specific point do you really start counting weeks for flowering?

 

[Lick]

Subbed. Nice setup and great job. Ladies are looking FINE!! Can't wait till my ladies are that far along. If you don't mind, I'd like to follow your journey down the green road.

Keep the bowl green side up, Lick

Looking fine? Why are the leaves of the larger one discolored? Deficiency of some kind I believe.
Just about to start my third season and have chosen CKS JH Autofem as the first lady of 2015 also got a couple freebies of og kush autofem so gonna throw one of those in to the grow too! Og kush (Dinafem)was my first ever grow and was very impressed. I consistently got 13 zip under 1000W, curios to see how the auto turns out. Going to do a journal on here (1st ever posted) once i get organized. Will be popping in... good luck.

I'm not sure whats causing the chlorosis, nutes are pretty level. I flushed after noticing the leaves, redid the nutes, even added calimagic (with no change). I think it could be a trait of this strain since you it see a lot when you google the auto jacks.

 

[urbanpharm]

MOAR!

they are about 30 inches tall so far, I do turn off the fans and spray a few shots of co2 while leaving it for an hour or so to feed. Its funny how you really see a noticeably larger growth the following morning if you gave them co2 the day before. Its kind of like adding kelp or floralicious plus, the next day you always see vigorous growth and bright green.

But yeah nothing fancy other than standard GH nutes with liquid koolbloom for bulking, floralicious plus (occasionally I add kelp) and now in flowering nutes.

Good to know! I would have been going crazy tryin to figure out why.
But when I see a discolouration like that the first thing I check is the ph

That's exactly were my search ended up, my pH indicated that I could've had a magnesium deficiency, and to leave color indicated either magnesium calcium or nitrogen, calimagic has calcium carbonate and magnesium nitrate, which would catch any of these... So I added it to the mix and made sure my pH was bang on.

 

[glimmergrass]

Really good looking girls you have there!
