Indoor Auto grow #2. ~The 3 Mean Girls~

[Anasazi]

So true, saw taNg's DP Blackberry Kush want one so bad, frisian dew looks great, the bam-slam made me want a BAM and the think differents on here speak for themselves..

Things are looking good though, that auto pounder looks like it's going to be a fatty :dance2:, I'll be watching and getting some calmag for the bloody skunk thanks for the tip :tiphat: !

I just got my bams and i'm so excited to grow them. I think after this grow I will do bam, dark devil, and auto pounder with cheese again because this current one is so beasty.

Tang is the man. I plan on using a modification of his feeding schedule as soon as I run out of at least some nutes. Can't justify buying an nutes yet but I want to. ;D

lol I seem to always struggle to have a good explosive start with autoflowers. My sweet skunk is looking pretty runty and I know It's most likely my fault. Already seeing signs of mag problems. I'm using coco and I fed her with some distilled water I had. Problem is I'm a dumb cave goblin and forgot that I was using hard water micro to feed her LOL.


Sooo distilled water + coco + hard water micro nutes that have less mag/cal = sweet skunk not too happy atm. I'm tempted to yank her and plant something else but I'm going to go ahead and ride it out. At least it's a freebie and it's all a learning experience.


That's not even my worse problem though sadly. I really missed up my bloody skunk. I've basically fed veg nutes for too long and the added N made her grow big and lanky and delayed flowering something fierce.

It effected my pineapple express as well but to a much smaller extent. It seems like the auto pounder with cheese is so beasty she pushed threw it.

Bloody skunk is supposed to be a 65 day strain and mine is on day 52 or so and it looks like it just started to flower. The leaves are canoeing down and dark green. Its clear signs of too much N.

Now i'm at a crossroads though and I'm not sure how to fix this problem I've created. I started to feed all 3 only plain ph'd water to try and get rid of some of the N and since my bloom nutes have a small amount of N I've been scared to use them.

Do you guys think I should just continue to feed plain water or should I give bloom nutes? which option would get my buds back on track.

BRO! They are looking great from the pics man! I don't really have much assistance to provide, other then to tell you that they are looking good from this end. If you arn't, I'd recommend separate feeding schedules for each plant. Since each plant will be different, the amount of water and nutrients will be different. As each plant reacts to your actions, you can adjust each. About the nutes - you don't want to go too long without giving them nutes or they will start going deficient. What I started doing was I'd give them XX amount, wait 2 days and see how they are reacting. Then I adjust according to what they tell me. Hard to explain, but that's the only thing I can really suggest. Don't stress too much bro they really are looking good! Coco seems to be tougher to start, but picks up in the end from what I've seen on here - just ask yodabuds about his BAM! Good luck - I'm keeping my eye out on that AP!

You make an awesome point about the separate feedings. I've known I should do that but I'm so lazy lol. I need to start stepping my game up. I know things will be a bit easier once I don't have to mess with ph down as much anymore though.


I think you are right about the coco too. I think hempy even compounds the problem even more. I was searching around yesterday and I came across this guys grow on here. He was doing 5 gal hempy and at day 17 his plant looked like it was half the size mine is right now. He ended up getting like 250 grams from that plant when it was all said and done. After looking at that I decided to stop worrying about my crappy starts.

All that matters is how you finish. ;D






Are you guys like me and get so excited when you are in the last few weeks of a grow? I just start thinking about what beans I can plant next and how I'm going to do it "perfectly" this time and blah blah lol.

Nother day, nother adventure. Whats good my afn fam fam. Just wanted to make a post on that RO unit I mentioned earlier. I've been sitting on it for a week now and I finally got the right piece I needed to hook it up under my sink. Used it for the first time today and it was awesome. It's so freaking crazy to have 0ppm water when I am used to having 310 ppm tap water.



lol putting 1/2 tsp of nutes into a gallon of water basically gives me the same ppm as my tap water now. Amazing. Whats not amazing is how low my ph went when I did that. Do people who use RO water typically use ph up? X_X

Yeah, but for a different reason... lol. I get excited because it means I can finally smoke again without spending lots of $$$.

Man I know how you feel. I can't believe how fast my girl and I smoked up the last harvest. We smoked 3 and a half oz in about 60 days. Plus we made canna butter with another oz. Now we have maybe 6 grams left and my fastest plant is still at least 14 days away from chop and then you have the 6 day dry.




I'm excited for the new drip system i'm going to implement. I'm sick of hand watering and people who water often seem to get crazy results so I figured why not? Once I started researching I came across waximus thread here.

https://www.autoflower.org/f126/waximus-diy2015-drip-system-rest-us-39812.html

I had no idea it was so cheap and easy to implement this stuff lol. 40$ and I got everything I needed. I probably could have did it for even cheaper if I wasn't so lazy and went to home depot instead of shopping on amazon. Sadly 40 turned into 80$ because I also bought some new nutes that I might not have even needed but what the hell I'm lazy and if i'm going to set up the lazy man system I should go all the way and get the ph perfect nutes too. ;D


My grow setup is evolving! I think I've settled on 3x 2.5 gal hempy containers and top feed drain to waste. Gonna have a 5 gal res with airstone outside of the tent connected to a water pump/manifold. I'm just hoping the 5 gal res will be enough to last 3 plants for at least 5 days.

Day 61.

Have a few crappy pics of my pineapple express and auto pounder with cheese. Maybe one day I will perfect my pic taking technique with my tablet.

I hope this small journal will help those who want to grow auto pounder with cheese. I did a lot of searches on the net before I bought the seeds and there are like no journals with it. Lucky to even find one. I really love this plant and I can't wait to grow it again without feeding it so much nitro next time. You can't really tell from the pics but the color is so nice with the orange. Love the way it looks.

Auto Pounder with cheese.

Pineapple express




Day 53 for the fast and vast that had a slow stunted start. She not looking too bad now. Still seems kinda slow to me though.

Damn, that CHEESE tho! Looks hella good man. Even your runty F&V looking good. Once you get to budding you know you're getting some bud haha. Great job homie.
