Indoor Fast and Vast Auto grow in coco\scrog

[Transmatic]

Likewise, I did hours of searching for information and grows of this strain and this thread was literally the only thing I could find. I've been following your progress since about Christmas.

I was worried about my temps dropping too low during my 4 hrs of darkness last night. My grow box is in an unfinished part of basement and it currently stays about 55 in there, but luckily the insulating nature of the refrigerator kept temps at 65 during the darkness. A little lower than I'd like but not sure there's much I can do. Watered both my girls this morning after only misting all week. Both seedlings have sprouted and already about 1" tall. The fun begins

Xcessive, can you give more detail on what your feeding schedule for nutes has been? You're obviously doing things right. There's probably a lot of ppl searching for info on this strain and this is the only thing out there rt now. I'm documenting mine by the day, hopefully can be of use to others if this turns out the way I'm hoping.

looks great excess. mine are about to start there 7th week. this is gonna be a great comparison as we are all growing a bit different. I got 1 at 12/12 and 1 at 18/6. HPS and t5 respective. if I get 4 ounces from the HPS or the t5 I am gonna switch totally to the auto strain under the 1000 HPS at 20/4 lighting, something like 12 to 16 plants, and so far I think Im gonna get at least that. so fing impressed with this auto strain, just amazes me.

trans, mine stopped growing at the height you see in the pics. I haven't raised the light in over a week so I don't think youll have a height issue. I am growing in 3 gallon pots. I can measure for you if you like. yours may be a bit smaller given the smaller pot, as excess will likely be taller given his bigger pots.

hippy, I would def appreciate your height measurements. If mine both turn out like your smaller one I know I'd be ok but the taller one probably wouldn't leave much room (if any) for my lights. But I'll measure my overhead to know precisely how much room I have. I would much rather just let her grow than do some LST with them. I'm trying to keep this as simple and straight forward as possible for my 1st grow.

from the table top to the top of the LARGER plant is 2 feet 2 inchs. the plant itself is about 18 inchs. the shorter one is 2 inchs smaller. a little bit of LST wouldn't hurt anything tho. 3 gallon pots filled with pure coco

on another note, the thc Bomb was harvested. only got 4 ozs for 18 weeks work. bummer. but that was grown under a 600 HPS. I switched to my 1000 about 3 or 4 weeks ago. today the cotton candy gets harvested and looks to be a better harvest. I'll let ya know later in the week the weight.

I am using general hydroponic 3 part nutes, but only used 2 parts (micro & bloom). Once the 3rd set of leaves showed up(day 6 after sprout), I started with 4.5ml/gal Bloom & 3ml/gal micro(300 ppm) and worked up a little each feeding until I was at 9ml Bloom/gal & 6ml/gal Micro(6-700 ppm). **feeding every4-5 days here depending on weight of pot

At day 29 I started using calmag + with feedings at 2ml/gal (along with 9ml/gal bloom, 6ml/gal micro) **feeding every 4th day here

Day 44 - vertical growth had stopped so went to bloom nutes only. 10ml/gal Bloom, 2ml/gal calmag+ (1000-1200ppm) ** feeding every 3 days now

Day 51 - started adding KoolBloom to the mix now...so feeding looks like this now 9ml/gal Bloom, 5ml/gal KoolBloom, 2ml/gal camag+ ***still feeding every 3rd day


Hope that helps a little for ya

Xcessive hit it on the nose about everything, we are more like the 1st,vegging 20/0 flower 20/4 .
Transmatic: IMO the 2 gal containers are to small & you should at least use a five gallon to get good yield, these babies take off like a rocket to flowering and the roots are crazy. They grow about seventeen inches. It would be cool for you to stay on this thread! I just may have to do another grow with these babies again !


Xcessive.........They Smell!!!!!!!!!!!!!Holy crow huh Bro! Twist a leave or two off & sniff ya finger a few hrs !

hippy, thanks for the measurements. I should have adequate room but not by much so I may consider doing some LST just to be on the safe side.

Xcessive, wow great details, thank you. I will be using Fox Farms trio and also have some cal/mag on hand. However I will be following a slightly different schedule with my nutes and starting a bit later, so we'll see how that tuns out.

zaza, I agree on the container size. I went with 2 gal because I have very limited space, only about 4 ft total overhead minus 9 inches for my lights hanging down. I did this knowing I will get a smaller yield. But with this being my first grow I wanted to keep it on the smaller side. Fortunately I have a very large space with already built in venelation to outside, perfect place for a large grows so this is all to learn, smoke, and possibly expand. I'll try to post a few pics of my fast and vast grow setup here.
