FD's Guide to Growing Hefty Autos in Small Places.

Ok guys i have been dragging my knuckles on this for too long. This thread will be dedicated to my actual grow technique. I will have everything in here from the way i germ seeds to the way i harvest and everything in between.

ill cover my soil mixes, teas, water adjustments, feeding schedules as well as the recipes for the soil and teas that i use. My goal is to teach how to grow the bud lumps you see in the small pots i use. I feel if you use this you may have the same success that i do when it comes to autos in small places.

Bare with me as i will update this on the regular, but will be locking it to get it all organized.

Now this is one interesting case, i have never ran across this in the time i have been growing. I know that the resin glands are THC CBD, and CBN for the most part. Is it possible that in the rolls its lost that much of a content? Ive never grown anything out side of what i do now and have bever had any WOS seed but it could be an ugly ressisive trait coming to face.

are they all like that, cant remember if you had more than one in there,.

I have another AKR thats doin fine, and a few RRF that are a week behind. Nothing on the RRF, but my other AKR does have some crystals starting out up top. Heres a pic.


Makes me wonder tho, looks & smells diffrent... And they had diffrent reactions to the same feeding. This one was fine, while the AKR in question got a little burn. I wonder if I got the dreaded no crystal Pheno type.

still fazed about nutes

I usually just keep going with the water. The plants leaves will be terrible looking as she reaches her end. the smoke how ever will be pretty clear of the chems used for ferts.



now this is interesting, id love to see a pic of this. It would help me get a better idea of what is going on

I'm ok with water but I need to know if this is the revised list as far as the Tsp and Tbs conversion confusion. Think your methods are very sound. I want to use composted chicken manure instead of cow pies. Impulse buy. LOL TY for a detailed method. Been enjoying the read.

You're at Day 40, so still a bit early. I've never grown the strain you're running nor do I know much about it. It would seem though WOS's seed quality may be starting to suffer. Some local growers this past weekend were complaining about them - seems folks are having trouble with some of WOS strains (locals were discussing photo strains though). I hope that's not the case for you.

You are right TBM, WOS strains start pushing crystals after day 45 according to my experience. I have grown Pakistan ryder and Sugar mango ryder and both barely started producing trichomes after day 45.
Here is SMR at day 45

Hey Andy, my Paki ryder was the same - no smell and no crystals till day 45 but after that she was covered from top to bottom of crystals and sticky resin and the smell was very strong and very pleasant kind of woody and hash.

My fault I see what you are saying now, the list is up to date and current. I made the changes when i realized i had it all over the place. Had to go back to the not book and look again.

:clap:

thanks for bringing this in here. Its always good to have some one who has seen this or experienced a strain add their input. Dutch1, seems that stone has seen this before.
See what happens with her after day 45. This all still seems odd to me that they show no signs and then all of a sudden pack them on. Its a interesting trait.
everything that i have ever grown photo, or auto has showed resin production at a early stage in flower, usually as the buds set.
Please keep me informed on this as i love the freaks and anomalies.

Glad to share my experience, mate. And thanks for the useful guide :thumbs:I have learnt so much from you since your thread Art of autos on RIU that inspired my to try autos as my first grow.
