Dutch Passion Dutch Passion 'AutoX' test grow (soil, CO2, ScrOG, LED/HPS combo)

Happy holidays Billy may it be a TD filled one for you and those you share it with!!!
 
The way I understand co2 to work (and I'm no expert on it) your temps have to be higher than usual to have any effect. I may be wrong, anyone with more experience chime in?

Either way I'm excited to see this grow take off! :pop:

CO2 will work as long as there is enough light to make the process work. very little to do with temps unless your talking extreem. go for it. I have used it for many years.
 
Day 35 & Day 29

Just another little update :) Both plants are into flowering and overall aren't doing that badly. Both are females so I've started adding Bloom into feedings.
Newer growth is looking better, I can see these two turning out like J Tang's did :) Tall and spindly.

I'll start adding pictures again soon when they look a bit better.
 
Can't wait to see em billy! Hope that you have a great New Year's Celeb
 
insert told me that you were growing an autoX as well -- so here i am!

caught up and ready to boogie :beast: beast mode style.

sorry about al the PH issues your having billy.

ph is the #1 enemy for everyone -- my 1st grow was locked out with nutes
*FFOF/HF 50/50 combo* -- had to add some dolomite lime (top dressed) and it fixed it no problem.

heard/read good things about biobizz soil -- maybe you had a bad batch?

have you looked into SS #4 mix? / maybe even the promix BX/PH -- heard/read good things about em as well.

might have to add some buffer to both tho just to make sure your at steady PH and stable.

im back to using the remaining of my FFOF/HF + dolomite lime (amended mixed in)
*hopefully it stays stable!!*

now im just debating on which soil/nutes to use for the 3rd grow -- we shall see then.

goodluck the rest of the way andd dont give up bro.

you will be rewarded by the girls -- even if its as much as you would like.

:smokebuds:
 
Happy new year Billy... All the best for 2013 mucker.. :smokebuds:
 
I am hoping that, being from the other side of the Atlantic, Mucker is a good thing!! happy New year Billy:smokebuds:
 
Day 45 & 39

Well, here's a few pictures. No doubt you'll see why I didn't want to post any :( They're short and stunted and not looking too healthy. If you notice the soil, it also looks very mucky.
BUT I'm not going to pull them! I'm going to let them go as they are, though I'm quite tempted to transplant them to smaller pots and have 4x 7.5 litre pots, 2x Think Different (my favourite!) and 2x AutoXtreme :)
I only have 2 concerns about doing that. First is the light height. The node spacing will be off because the HPS is really high up. So, perhaps I'll keep the LED lights lower so the node spacing is correct until they reach the top.
Second is; is it too late to transplant these two existing ones? I doubt their roots are so big that they occupy the whole pot considering their short sizes.

Day 63 update

To be honest there's not a lot to report :) She's doing fine, putting out quite a nice smell! She should have a yield of maybe 30g I think, which should be enough for me to last until the other 3 plants are done.
Starting her on Big Bud now. For reference, today's feeding consisted of:

2.5 litres feeding
3.5g of Big Bud powder
3ml of BioBizz grow
2ml Biobizz Topmax
2ml Advanced Nutrients overdrive

Gonna see how she takes to it :) Pictures can be found here.
