New Grower First Micro Grow Journal AutoCheese

[MisterHarpy]

This is my first grow on AF, I am not new to growing as I have grown various photosensitive plants before, But this is my first time documenting and growing auto flower strains.

I did try to grow auto flowers once before but treating them the same as photosensitive they ended up burning. but now armed with much more knowledge and research thanks to lurking AF, I will try my luck again.

This is my current grow which I am constantly monitoring and paying close attention to it consists of 2 AutoCheese by Seedsman, 1 Bluematic from Royal Queen Seeds, 1 AutoBlueBerry from Dutch Passion,and 3 Seeds From Memphisto Auto Elite Mix.

I also have 2 Critical Jack Auto's, 3 Lowryder #2(2 female,1 male), and 1 memphisto plant that came from a memphisto auto elite mix In flowering stage that I planted and did not pay attention to,and mistreated them yet they made it to flowering stage on there own and I will now breed them with the male lowryder to make seeds and see what the strains are as i dont feel like spending more money on expensive seeds.
But this Journal will just consist of the AutoCheese By Seedsman. I will provide links for the others, I just want to post them on the breeders forum as i want to try to earn badges Thanks for stopping buy and any help, comment, or tips are always appreciated!



Auto Cheese By Seedsman
Setup consists of,
Vegetation
Length35inxWidth15inxHeight26in
8in Fan Exhaust
150w Apollo Horticulture 6500k CFL, and 1 18in T5 and 3 42watt CFL as side lighting

For soil I use, 50/50 Jiffys organic seed starting mix and MiracleGro organic seedling starting mix
then after a couple weeks I Transplant using tier pot method to a 6.5 inch pot(due to space limitations, and to limit the growth of the plant as i dont want them to get to big as im trying to go for a continous grow with 8 plants in veg and 8 plants in flowering eventually).using 3/4 FD (Full Duplex a member on AF with very good tips who's threads ive read a lot) Soil Mix and top off the remaining 1/4 with seed starting mix as so the plants root can slowly adjust to the rich soil.

Nutrients consist of Fox Farms using FD's Fox Farm Schedule, although I vary it depending on how i see the plants.

Flowering
Length35inxWidth15inxHeight31in

Whoa you stretch them long

 

[MisterHarpy]

I did notice that, this time and it didn't happen with my critical jack autos in the same setup, so I was wondering if it was because this time I laid the seed on top and just laid some soil on it instead of digging out a little hole and putting it in there like usual.

Hey, whats up man. Seen your post down in the kaos forum section.
Looks like you have quite the elaborate setup already set up. Looking forward to see your grow man. Subbing in. :karma Cloud:

Let's see you lights and cab. What are you temps? That's crazy stretch.. You can always bury those stems if pot up though..

 

[MisterHarpy]

Thanks everybody, I will be uploading more updates. And pictures of my setup later when I get on my laptop. @sunny747 the tempatures in the cab stay between 75-81, 81 usually being during the day and 75 at night

 

[Sunny747]

Gotta get the lights much closer then. They are stretching towards the light. Also try to bury the stems when you repot.

How's it growing?

 

[MisterHarpy]

Growing doing good, added fox farm nutrients but seems at it was too strong for some plants as some of the tips started getting nute burn, so continued using straight water for now and will add nutes again next week but at quarter dose instead of half dose.
