Fat Neil's Winter Grow CKS Candy Cane Autos In Coco

[FatNeil]

Hello everyone. Welcome to my winter grow. Was considering whether to journal this grow, but I decided it really helps me stay organized and neat when I journal it so here we are.

Details :

4x4 tent
600 watt hps cool tube.
400 cfm 6" fan with carbon filter
3 fans inside the tent
Using 3gal pots with straight coco

Pre soaked coco with calmag and low nutes. Put a seed in each rapid rooter. 4 days later here we are.

Cheers. I guess this would be day 1

Day 2

They are all up now. Lowered the light cuz two of em were really stretching. Wondering if I should put the MH bulb in? Think it makes any difference?

My original thoughts on these autos was to top once and then scrog them. Heard autos don't get that big though so might be kinda hard to fill up the squares. Maybe better to just put a tomato cage in each one for support. I dunno.

Currently they are on 18/6 lighting. See a lot of people doing 20/4. Might try that, we'll see. Light is dimmed to 450W right now

 

[FatNeil]

Sorry for the flipped view on those pics. Not sure what happened there

 

[bignstrange]

Look into training autos, I don't grow them personally, but there is some debate on wether they should be topped or not, apparently certain autos can be finicky.

And yea I'd say us the MH if you have it! Better for vegging!

 

[imtoasted]

Dang those two are stretching!! They are saying we need more light lol

 

[imtoasted]

Or are you using a flowering light in your hps.. bns is right, mh is better for veg.. a light with a more yellow spectrum will cause them to stretch.

As long as you top by day 21 (if I remember an auto group I was reading), you should be fine with topping. Apparently its when you top them late it can screw them up.

Neil, if you want a decent journal on training autos, check out the grower FlowerNose. She does some pretty damn cool training with autos.
