AutoSeeds Summer 2023 Grow & Show

[Corum59]

I’ve had issues with mold and mildew outdoors with fabric netting outside. Been using a coated wire mesh when I need it.

Mold destroyed a couple of years crops on my balcony, it's pretty humid in my part of the world, which drove me to indoor growing, no such issues so far.

I’m in the PNW and do grow outdoors too. I’ve been trying different products to proactively stay ahead of the mold/rot/pm in sept/oct.

CannControl - pretty good product helped
Lost Cost Plant Therapy - better results than the others
Rot Block - testing this season and others on Afn swear by it.
Green Cure - prematurely ripens pistils and buds
Milk Spray - helps temporarily

Tip - don’t water your plants in the late afternoon’s or evening’s. Better off with AM waterings

indeed, i also use a metal fence stuff, plastic coated and lighter, i find it is perfect for maintaining a flat canopy without requiring ties at all, and it has been used multiple times and will be used multiple times more, imho opinion its a perfect solution for scroggers.

Nice to see more scroggers on this forum.
Do you grow photos or autos under your grid?

Day 49 - Acapulco Gold, Pink Runtz, Rainbow Glue

They all are getting tall and huge which i didn't expect but is most welcomed i just need to keep them supported and not bushy, tomorrow i'll feed and try my best to defoliate what i can reach. I have had to raise the light 3-4 times already and i don't think i'm done lol

Rainbow Glue is still tallest at around 46 inches from the dirt and still growing, Acapulco Gold are all about 45 inches and still growing, 1 of Pink Runtz is still growing tall and wide at 41 inches but the more mature smaller one is at its max height already around 39 inches.

Only photo's, I do keep telling myself to have a bash at auto's, but, well, you know, we know what we know and it works... However with the cost of electricity these days I may have to try autos once I need to start up a tent.

You gotta go autos, i tried a few photos and the 1st thing i noticed was they are not fast, seed to harvest always 100+ days and i use way more nutrients and electricity compared to a 50-65 day seed to harvest with less nutrients used never going over 700ppm on autos, photo plants want 1000+ppm onwards up to almost double what a auto plant will handle without burning and they want it for a very long time.

Pros and cons for sure, some pros i like about photos are vegging a monster and then shaping it into a giant when it flowers but i never out yield my autos vs the time and money spent on photos, also bonsai plants are only possible with photos.

3 is a good number for a 5 gallon. I'm using 10 gallons for the 1st time in this tent, i have 4 plants in the very rear left pot but that is not part of the grow and show the rest are 2-3 per pot for this grow and show, if they sent 5pks i would have used 5 per pot lol i know 10 gallon pots would handle 5+ for sure.

But maybe 3 plants in a 10 gallon is perfect too, my 3 Rainbow Glue and 3 Acapulco Gold are monsters
