RocBud Grape Slurri Auto (Slurricane x Grape Rolex Auto)

[PurpleTerps]

Here's my first go with Rocbud. Grape Slurri Auto which is a Slurricane crossed with Grape Rolex auto!

Update 9/19/20 - Round 2 started. Decided to pull the plug on the last 2 girls to restart for better things in my tent.

Medium - Mother Earth Groundswell Soil amended with Real Grower's Recharge microbials, earthworm castings, alfalfa meal, and General Hydroponics Armor Si

Lights - 235 true watts (Mars Hydro and Maxsisun LEDs) running 22 hours on, 2 off

Nutrients - Mostly organically amended. Will be adding small amounts of Advanced Nutrients G/M/B throughout in very diluted amounts as needed.

Awesome! I've got 3 going right now. Might be giving one over to my brother to finish. I'll be watching this closely! Good luck!

These girls have been crying a little bit for a few days. TBH I was hesitant to post since it's not positive, but at the end of the day this is a diary and good or bad people should learn from it. It's showing signs of over-watering, and I can attest to putting too much earthworm castings which makes the soil very dense. The plants have been growing super slow and not looking happy. The soil has perlite, but not enough. I will definitely focus a lot on soil aeration next go around.

I like your attitude man, sharing even the bad times that may help the community is great, so thank you.

Don't give up though, these girls may very well come around and look absolutely lovely in a few weeks time

I agree with @Silver ! Keep em going they'll pull through and you'll get something. Start thinking about what you'll be starting next just in case they get stunted or something.

Good on you for posting and not being ashamed.
Don't be afraid to show failures as they may help someone down the road. Plus it's always fun to see the plants recover! Someone who trained me in a job once said "If you aren't doing something wrong, you aren't learning!"

Keep it up, I'll be around!

Let’em dry out a bit. Next round try some clay pebbles for aeration. Nice light airy soil is key and not overwatering. These ladies will be fine though.

Everything's pretty much dying, curling, and unhappy... leaves cracking. I think I'm going to ask Roc if I can run another strain in exchange. Not too happy with how vigorous these genetics were here. My medium wasn't spot on but you'd think the fabric pots would assist that.

That’s not genetics bro. That’s hot soil ph off maybe too. Just went back and read the top line again and there’s the problem. Fox farms ocean Forrest is known for being hot for autos and ph being out of whack. Ask @Waira about it, one of the most used soils by guys in the infirmary

I would also raise the lights a little. That’s pretty low for young plants.

I see Ocean Forest being used as one of, if not the most common soils in this field. I think it is a combination of unstable genetics and my environment.
