Indoor First Auto Grow Pro Mix VS FFO & Collodial Silver test run

[CaptKG]

Hello All,
This is my first time out growing only Auto's. My room is a 5x5x4 box, 400w Metal Halide with 75 HPS. I'm testing out O against Pro Mix and from sprout the Pro Mix is winning out. Started Neuts week two with General Hydro 3 part weak solution on the Pro Mix, but two days later added it to the O too as they were showing deficiencies they turned on after the first feeding.
Sprouted March 25 so they are going into week 3. Started spraying two plants with Collodial yesterday, 20 days to go until I stop, going to try and make some FEM seeds. I'll be keeping some pollen from the Onyx just incase Collodial doesnt work. Any advice or thoughts appreciated, will be updating weekly with Pic's.:thumbs:
Lil bit of Bud porn too from my last grow for all of you who stuck out to read this
The Strains:

MI5 in Pro Mix
Russian Rocket Fuel in O
PsychoFruit in Pro Mix
AK49 in O
Super Auto Sativa in O
Onyx in Pro Mix (turned out to be male)

what "advice or thoughts" would you be looking for ? indoor growing or feminized breeding ? your posting in the indoor growing section so im assumeing thats what your asking about , and really i dont see you needing any advice as of yet , you seem to have things under controll nicely

if you have things in mind you should mention them , we got a great group of knowledgable members here who love to helpout when they can

Looks good.
The only thing I wonder about is the lighting.
My grow tent is 4'X4'X7', and I was running 600 watts of HPS, but it was not enough light, to get the bud density I was wanting. I added another 400 watts, of HPS, and it fixed the problem. It just seems to me that your space is underlit. Other than that I love what you have going on.

This will be my first time to grow seriously with Autos and also experimenting with the Collodial Silver. Done a bunch or reading on both so looking for peeps with expertise. Have grown Photo's indoors in the past with very good success.

I've been thinking about moving up to a 600w hps system that is dim-able, small box in my crawl space so I might be able to control the temps. I have less than 4' total vertical height so it's a challenge by the time the lamp is in there and its tight to the ceiling, the heights of the pots too so not much vertical room to grow. I do LST on Photos and may start as soon as these little ones get to close to the light. I'll keep this updated if I get the 600w (saving money is tight).
Cheers

23 Days in from Seed Pop

Hi All,
Here are some new Pic's taken today, I've added in 2 4' T5 lights into the room (Saved these from the Trash, Can't get over how bright they are). I've also started two new seed an AK49 & Haze in a mix of both O and Pro Mix.
Two of my plants (Russian Rocket Fuel and AK49) are not keeping up with the rest of the group, both of them planted in Fox Farm Ocean and the Russian Rocket Fuel looks like it has some deficiencies, the AK49 looks like it's coming back to life. The SAS is a beast at 15", MI5 and PsychoFruit at 12" and RRF & AK49 8". I"m not the greatest at diagnosing my deficiencies so if anyone has any opinions for the RRF let me know. The only thing that is different about the RRF is in PIC 13 you can see something has been munching on three of its leafs. I've started all of them with a light 1/4 strength neut solution and have a 1/2 strength waiting for the next feeding. I've also noticed that my soils are staying moist and not drying out like my photos did at this size once or twice a week watering is this possible.
Cheers

Day 28 and two new additions Haze and AK49

Day 28 and everything looks pretty good two of my plants are runts that were planted in O. The SAS seems to thrive in the O. I collected pollen from my male Onyx and have pollinated my Psycho fruit, Russian Rocket Fuel and MI5 only on one branch/ plant. Still Spraying CS and have finished my 8th day spray, hoping to collect pollen and use it on the new additions to the family or lower buds depending on timing. New Budd sites everywhere and vertical growth is slowing. The RRF is small but Budding everywhere to bad it wasn't another foot taller.
The two new additions of Haze and another AK49 are done in a O&PRO mix I'm thinking this is going to be a great mix. Looks like I'll be doing every other day waterings. I really hope these Auto's start to fill out more or it will be a yield lower than I was hoping for. I'd like to pull a min of 2-3 zips for the grow over all or keep a perpetual grow going. If I'm lucky enough to produce some seeds this wont be a problem and I have enough seeds left for 6-8 more plants. So I still have a few more seeds to experiment with.

I'm going to be moving to full neut strength next water probably weaning off the Grow neuts over the next two weeks and adding in some Molasses. I'm was also going to given some GROTEK monster bloom at half strength. Thinking about going to the local Hydro store and get some additives. If these gals are going to be small I want them good and fat so recommendations will be appreciated. Anyone reading this in North America we have a meteor shower tonight in the North Eastern Part of the Sky starting midnight EST. Maybe one more :smokebudsuff and an hour in the lawn chair looking upwards

Anyone have any recommendations for sum bloom boosters. I'm currently using GH 3 part Grow, micro, bloom. I've also have a 1000w HPS in my garage but not sure if I can use it in so small a space, with my height restriction and small space kind of worried. I was maybe thinking of hanging the light vertically and then circling the girls around the light that way I can control the distance away from the light anyone ever try this method? Appreciate any thoughts on this idea.
Cheers
