6 Autos - 2x4x5 Tent - MarsHydro Reflector 144x5

[AlienAthena]

This will be my first journal but my second grow. First grow, I grew 2 Bulk Smash Autos that i received as freebies using a 300w led light and had a dry weight of 2 zips. I plan on growing only autos for a while.

For this grow I have 1 Girl Scout Cookies, 1 Gorilla Glue, 1 Northern Lights, 1 Ultraviolet, and 2 Sweet Seed Autos that I ordered from Herbies. The plan is to top and do some lst. I'm hoping for at least an oz each.

Supplies:
-4x2x5 tent
-2.5 gallon pots
-F.F.O.F.Soil
-G.H. Nutrients
-Liquid Seaweed
-MarsHydro Reflector 144
-Xtreme Gardening Mykos

I'll be updating every Thursday.

Day 11

To the left side of the tent we have Ultraviolet up top and Northern Lights below with Girl Scout Cookies and Gorilla Glue next to them followed by the two Sweet Seeds auto from their mix pack. I lowkey want to name them but don't know if I should. Also is is too late to throw in a little "about me" /info on my grow?

My original plan was to top and lst these ladies but I've decided to simply top them next week on day 18 and to throw up a scrog. *gasp*

WHAT?!

A SCROG?!

FOR AUTOS?!

yes. I've seen someone do it on here like twice maybe but I want to try to get the most of what I have. I don't see any negative effects it'll have, only positive; so it's worth a shot. A little experimenting won't hurt me... I hope.

Here is the biggest girl in the tent, I've dubbed her Sweet Mix #2

My Journey Out Of The Abyss That Is My Mind - 2017

Before I get too deep into this journal here's a little info about me: I'm a Medical Cannabis user and I've only been smoking since August 2016. Educating myself on the benefits of cannabis is literally the greatest thing to happen to me and it couldn't have happened at a better time. The past 2 years of my life have been literal hell and will most likely be that way for the rest of my life but cannabis makes me no longer want to kill myself.

I've been diagnosed with ADD, Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and PTSD. I also suffer from the worst menstrual cramps, ever. I'm a hardcore introvert. This journal/journey will focus on me trying to find the right strains to help a sister live a little easier. I haven't been truly happy in 12 years and if I can find a strain, or multiple, that'll allow to me feel happy for a few hours then I'll succeed.

Im hoping to find strains that'll help me live decently and ways to grow cannabis to the best of my abilities. Quality is my biggest focus and then quantity is next. I'm always looking to learn knew things and I soak up new information like a sponge. I'm open to new suggestions and strains to try out.

*If anyone who deals with menstrual cramps know of any good strains that help with them is like to know of them, please.

Day 18!

Help! I have a few Q's. If I plan on scrogging, should I allow these plants to veg another week before topping? should I top them at all? Should I LST them if I'm going to put them under the next? Please Help!

Onto the girls! They're about to get they're second taste of liquid seaweed! I honestly love the stuff and I'll probably only be giving them water and liquid seaweed until they start flowering.

Ultraviolet

Northern Lights

GSC

GG #4

Sweet Mix 1

Sweet Mix 2 and biggest of them all!

AND I've added a feminized Jack Herer that'll go into a smaller tent after its vegged out with this guy for at least 6 weeks!

If I plan on letting this plant fill out an entire 2x2, what's approximately the minimum amount of time to veg?

Early Update! Day 23, Week 4

Today they'll be getting fed for the first time. Was expecting them to have shown sex by now but hopefully by next week!


Northern Lights. light LST

Ultraviolet. Showed some orange spots on a few leaves so I just cut them off

Topped the Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies

Sweet Mix 1 and Sweet Mix 2. can't decide what to do with them. Might top and lst them on Thursday.

I'm surprised with how compact the ultraviolet is considering it's a sativa. Can only hope it stays that way.

All of the ladies!

 

[AlienAthena]

Day 25! Things are about to start taking off. Pots were surprisingly dry so gave them 2 cups of plain distilled water just to hold them over until Saturday when they'll get their second feeding.

Northern Lights. Adjusted ties a little.

Sweet Mix 1. Has shown sex and I see some pistils. Tied her down because she's so much taller than the others.

GSC. tied her down.

Sweet Mix 1. Really short and has tight nodes.

Ultraviolet. Although she's a mostly sativa, from what I've seen, she grows really short and compact. the most I've seen anyone pull from one is 14 grams. My goal is to beat that. She has been topped and I'll LST next week.

GG #4.

Took off a handful of leaves before flowering really kicks off

Day 32 and they've all shown their sex! NL is the one to just start flowering so I'm calling today day 1 of flower for them and Day 4 for the GSG&GG #4 and day 8 for both of the sweet seed mix autos. They're getting watered with some calmag and liquid seaweed.

Northern Lights is the biggest so far and is now 1 of 2 that has only just started flowering.

Girl Scout Cookies. what's up with these veggie fry leaves?

SSM2. she's way ahead of the others.

SSM1. the shortest one Here.

Ultraviolet. Taking her sweet time! nothing yet.

GG#4. looking good.

Group shot

Also don't know if I've mentioned it but definitely not doing a scrog this grow.

Hey you can do what you want but I here not to scrog until you switch over to flower. Your plant will double in size and get more buds. But that's just my preference. Good luck growing..

Day 46 and my girls are thirsty!

I've decided to stop using the GH 3 part nutrients. Will only water with either plan tap water or liquid seaweed pHed around 6.8.

Ultraviolet is steadily vegging it out. can't wait to see what she produces.

Sweet Seeds Mix 1

Sweet Seeds Mix 2. She's so thirsty and looks messy but she should bounce back.

main cola

GSC. Can't wait for her to bulk up .

Gorilla Glue #4 1 foot tall. finally flowering woop!

And finally, the biggest of them all, Northern Lights!nearly 1.5 ft tall. supercropped(?)

full tent

 

[AlienAthena]

Day 53 and holy smokes I'm happy right now. today they were fed 2.5 ml cal mag, 6 ml liquid seaweed, and 6 ml Bloom. Going to start with the slowpokes!

Ultraviolet. 10 inches tall and Sex has finally been shown. lol So I'm expecting her to start flowering next week!

Gorilla Glue #4. about 14 inches tall and in third week of flowering

Northern Lights. The child you call "your baby" that's bigger than you. 16 inches high and in 3rd week of flowering

Girl Scout Cookies. week 4 of flower and 13 inches and omg she smells soooooo good.

Sweet Mix 1. week 4 of flower and 11 inches. The main cola is huge already and still a long way to go

Sweet Mix 2. week 4 of flower and nearly 12 inches.

Group shots. It's so crowded. never growing 4 plants at once again in this tent unless it's a SOG.

w

Any suggestions? Any flowering nutrients or additives that'll really help these ladies bulk up?

 

[AlienAthena]

Day 60! They were given a half gallon of plain tap water. I'll most likely be harvesting the GSC and SM1 somewhat early to give the others more space. Not really worried about yield; as long as I get 4+ ounces I'll be happy.

Sweet Mix 1. I'm thinking 3 more weeks for her! seeing mostly cloudy trichomes.

GSC. actually disappointed with this one. small airy buds so far. Probably going to give another 3 weeks just to give the others more space.

Ultraviolet. FINALLY FLOWERING! (also thirsty af)

Sweet Mix 2. 4 more weeks.

Gorilla Glue. I'm so happy with the growth on this plant considering the limited space.

Northern Lights. Shes going to be a big one when finished.

 

[420Girl]

Your grow looks great so far, good job. Subbed I'm interested to see how your NL comes along as that's what I've been growing too.

Omg thanks so much. Honestly thought my journal had a sign that said "keep away" to everyone else. Thought I was doing something wrong here. I've been following your grow bc of the strain lol. can't wait to see your dry weight!

 

[420Girl]

Oooh you've been lurking have you hahaha! J/K Nah it's great that you've been following my grow too, and to be honest I only just came across your grow because of your post in the Introduce Yourself section, which I never usually look at. I think one of the best things to do to attract attention to your journal is to create a signature with a link to it. It was a bit fiddly but I managed it and so I assume that's how most people came across it!

 

[AlienAthena]

I really have been lol. I used to have my grow link in my signature but the signature feature isn't working on the app so no dice. I don't think I comment enough either way and I really only update my journals once a week. Oh well .

Oh yeah I heard about that. I hope the app developers can sort it!

Personally I think your journal is great. You've clearly done your research and got a really good grow going, and you put a lot of effort into each post including lots of photos and info. Well done! And I'm glad you've kept updating it despite the lack of responses!! I'll certainly be sticking around and will try to help out when I can

 

[AlienAthena]

I've been thinking a lot about this but I've come to the decision that Girl Scout Cookies and the sweet mix 1 will be getting harvested Thursday. The Northern Lights, GG#4, and Ultraviolet are huge and need the space and I'm 98% sure I'll meet my 6 ounce goal with just those 3 plants alone, plus another ounce off the SM2, so I'm going to maximize their chances.
