Not bad at all! How tall is she now?

Around 3 feet Id say, does that make them super autos ??

My outdoor one however I d say around nearly 2 feet - its packed with buds though, cant wait ............

By the look of my photos they are still white, when should they start to bulk up and add colour ??

Excuse my ignorance but since im a newbie, not that experienced :

1st Grow - found seed in weed - cut too early, got paranoid - was at a stage around 2 weeks before my last journal update , buds were not potent and no taste (Duh they were babies)

2nd Grow - Seed donated by a mate- could have sworn it was a female, however buds were seedy to say the least - better than first still ........

3rd Grow - Dutch Passion Automazar - is this one, and to be honest recently i did some cleaning and by mistake knocked a small bud off - tried to clone it then but it got all shrivelled up (50% perlite and 50% vermiculite) sooooo I microwaved the biaatch and rolled it - funnily enough it did the job and I was amazed as i thought it wouldnt

Weebe, they look very nice man. One thing though, do you have the veg bulb for your lighting? On my AutoMazar grow, my plant itself never turned purple. Now my clones on the other hand did. I contribute that to the lighting. I tried the mix veg. bloom spectrum on the plant and it did ok. But after the plant itself was done, leaving me the clone, I switch my bulbs back to all veg. The buds bulked up and the color came out.
Never give molasses with nutes. Always give it to them by itself. For ex. Say on Mondays you give then a nute solution. By Wednesday or Thursday, would be the molasses only. And you should keep that schedule until it's time to flush...

Your doing great to. Keep up the good work....It all pays off at the end....

Most defiantly, MH. In my opinion, the auto needs that more intense bright light. They just seem to do better with it is what I see.

Switched them to Metal Halide - will update on progress ....................

Buds seem to be groing slow, can I ask - for example the photo you had for this months comp - were the buds same as my size in the beggining ??

 

[Weebehigh]

O TOPIC I KNOW - BUT THEY ARE SWEEEEET

Some pics of my outdoor shorty .............



Shes short and sweeettt

Journal Update to follow shortly

 

[Weebehigh]

Journal Update Day 48

So I am at around a week over mid-grow (80 days lifespan)

Are there size normal ?? or do they seem smaller than usual, well I think they look small compared to for example ASI`s photo in comp of this month - will they get close to that size?? (Are they still babies ?? )



Im a abit clueless - im hoping that they will bud up further in the next month or so ..............


Thanks for watching & helping out

I'm currently using lemon juice to ph down mate It works ok for me

Also Red Apple Vinegar like ud use for cooking works for PH down. If you have Microlife they will PH up to 6.5-7.0, but In 60% of my soil I like to run 6.6-6.8.
The top layer is usually 7.0...
If your going Organic, If u use Synthetics, then PH UP or DOWN will work just as intended.
Honestly I don't PH balance anything (Though I have a meter lol), my Soil is alive and fixes the PH as they see fit. But Lemon Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar work for downs. A very good buffer or Up is Dolomite Lime. Powdered form is best if used at 1tbs per gal of soil in a container.
EX:3gal pot= 3tbs of Powdered Dolomite Lime. use this in the Middle layer of ur soil mix....
The girls are looking really good man btw, Mid-Bloom 40-45 days I start cranking up the Nutes VERY VERY slowly in the form of teas.
Each strain is different so I crank till I see the slightest burn then stop or go 1 step down.
I'll drop the temp 2 degree's and decrease humidity as not to catch bud rot or PM from higher Humidity I use in veg and (pre)bloom...
Also I add Big Bloom and add Snowstorm every other watering. WARNING: when using snowstorm or any of the sister products USE AT HALF OF THE RECOMMENDED DOES, EVERY OTHER WATERING....
