Indoor First Auto growSpectrum king Clost case- bubba cheese/ blue critical

[Croptumis Prime]

Or p? what are you feeding? may should ask @Duggy , im not that good at deficiencies .

I'm feeding them advanced nutrients ph perfect A & B veg. My waters around 6.2 -6.5 ph ( I use ph strips ) before I add the nutrients


Update:

I went ahead a flushed all the girls with water. I noticed lots of tips on the fan leafs ( mostly on the Blue Criticals ) where starting to bend down.....so figured there's salts building up. Hopefully that works

Update: Day 28

Everything is looking great and growing fast. The biggest Bubba is just under 2' and not showing any sings of slowing down. The blues on the other hand are staying shorter but much more bushy. I flushed all of them with water (ph 6.2) a few days ago, so now I'm thinking I'll start into the bloom nutrients next water....maybe 5 days or so. Their all pretty well into flower now and I don't really want them to get to tall anyways. Other then that I'm keeping up on my leaf tucking...making sure all those nice side branches get their time in the sun.

Nice grow you have there !!

Few tips. I'm not really into Autoflows anymore, but I made my first grow with AF, and I really liked it. I'm mostly here to help, but, you should try to Scrog Train your plants. You don't really need super cropping, or nets, but you have a lot of space, and you should start to bend your main stem and train your plant to receive more light into the canope. It is allowing secondary stems to get all the light they need, and all buds will be at the same height. Few wires will make the job perfectly. If you bend all secondary stems, you can make a perfect circle of fat and tall buds. Don't be afraid to train your main stem all along the stretch of your plant (but only in veg/pre-flow). Gently break your secondary stems, they'll take two to three days to recover, but believe me, stressing a plant before, is far better than after. They'll be real strong, and the nugs will follow. You'll just have to Lollipop after the final stretch of pre-flow, and the all thing will be on cruise control.

I don't really think I have to teach you anything, but you should try. You can increase your yield & quality.

LOW STRESS TRAINING my friend.

Peace bro, I follow this up

Thanks for the advise Zeytan. Any an all tips are welcome. I had definitely considered putting up a screen but this is just gonna be a test run for me as I'm just getting back into growing after many years off.....and like I mentioned at the start I really only have experience growing out doors. I decided to grow with Autos this time more because of time constraints (I need everything to be done by first week in January) then anything. My next grow I plan on starting maybe 16 feminized photo seeds and doing a sog......want to try and keep the plants less the 30" because of the closet case light penetration.

As far as the LST.... I'm planning on tying down the girls very soon prob should have started by now. Bu all the leaf tucking has seemed to really help with all th the side branching...


Not sure where all th pics went though ??

Update Day 31:

So everything is looking good. I think the stretch has finally slowed down. The biggest bubba is just at 24" and the biggest blue is not too far be hind at 22"

The blues are easily 7-10 days ahead of the bubbas in flower mode.

I'm still waiting on the pots to dry out enough to warrant some water. I will start the bloom nutrients at 1/2 strength when their ready.

I made some tuff decision and decide to remove some of the lower branches on a few of the girls...mostly the bubbas coz the branches just weren't getting any light. I've read a lot of mixed reviews on pruning autos so hopefully I didn't just fuck every thing up. Haha

Update: Day 35

.
Everything is moving along nicely. The bubbas have definitely not stoped stretching and I really wish they would...the biggest bUbba is pushing 35" and not showing any sings of slowing down. The biggest blue is about 30" I was hoping the canopy would be more uniform, but I guess it's harder said then done running two strains.


The blues are starting to get some nice bud structure going on but I'm not seeing to much resin production yet.

And the bubbas are about a week behind. I've switched all the girls over to bloom nutrients AN PH perfect A&B. At 1/2 strength...they seem to be loving it.

I didn't really notice any negative effects from taking all the bottom branches so I've kept up with that along with some light defoliation to maximize light penetration. Looking forward to seeing what theses girls will turn into.....it's so much more fun to watch when flowering...

Bubba cheese

I've got my eye on this girl ( bubba cheese) she's about half the size of her sisters and has a different growth structure

Broooo !! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ? Why do you want to hurt her so bad ? On day 30 you cut 2 stems off, and now, in the middle of your stretch you are hurting them again ? I know this is tempting, but WHY ???

I told you to WAIT the final stretch !!! It takes almost 2 weeks for the plant to reach its full size. You should have wait until day 40. Your plant is stocking the CO2 into the leaves during the day, releasing it in the night, it helps roots to suck and distribute water and its nutrients through her stems.

Hope you are no cutting the little ones along the secondary stems !! Don't worry, but you are putting troubles where there is not. All this energy you are try to save, is not even used yet. DONT RUSH. Let her recover.

I don't know man. I don't really want them getting to tall in the first place. And I don't really see any slowing down in their growth from the pruning....the one bubba grew 11" last week and she was one of the first to get a hair cut. but to be honest I have fuck all experience with autos.

If my lights had better penetration I wouldn't sweat it so much. Just trying to keep all the bud sites in that Goldilocks zone. The closest case is a great light but not meant for plant taller then 2-3'....Now I'm thinking for my next run two photos in 10 gallion smart pots SCROGED. One plant per light should be good and not too tall.

You still have the time to do what i told you to. Just lean the main stem ! Just few wires. It will help you control your growth. Thats basically why i recommend it for small grow space, i have the same problem. And Mine is far smaller.

The size depends on your seeds....

Ya, a little due diligence on my part and maybe researching the strains Before planting ......I picked up the seeds on a whim while buying all the grow equipment.haha thought the stains sounded good.
