Thats an auto yeah?! They take a little longer with the 420autoflower method! But well worth the wait!

Yes sir, FastBuds Gorilla autoflower. So far, so good. She's 2x the diameter of my previous grows with DWC, so repeated thanks to Professor 420! ( I'm a rookie, first grow 9 months ago. )

I think youre doing great! It takes a while to get comfortable in Your own skills but its a very intuitive plant and will tell you what it likes and doesnt like, you just have to pay attention! In the mean time, dont be afraid to ask questions. Live Stoner Chat thread is a really good place to find some talented growers and they are always up for a challenge. Dont buy into the supplement hype, PK boosters, Silica, kelp, and CalMag(when deficiencies show) can all be beneficial when used correctly in small doses. Beneficial bacteria, and Mycos for the soil will help give the soil some good bio-activity and Molasses will feed them the sugars they need and also provide a bit of P and calMag(so you wont usually need calmag on its own if you do this!) with some other stuff in there too, and keep all your nutes in PH range of 5.8-6.2 and start at 25-50% recommended doses(i rarely go over 50% of any nutrients recommended doses, especially when using supplements, you dont want the ppms to get to high) Keep your environment dialed and you should be golden!

In case this might be helpful ... My plant is at 90 days. I had increasing pH drops from day to day recently.
I'd bring it to 6.0, would drop to ~5.4 overnight.
Changed reservoir/nutes. Didn't help. Did some reading: algae, both alive and decomposing, can lower pH.
I removed the algae from the tops of the blocks, and in the process noticed it had grown down all the sides of the blocks,
behind the plastic. Removed that too. Fixed the pH problem immediately. I'll be covering the block tops
with panda film from now on. Might wrap the stack in panda film too.

The algae is helpful to start with as it stops the blocks from drying out but eventually as you found it will mess with the ph if left unchecked. Once you get a full canopy though this problem will sort it self out.

Thanks DOA, understood. The problem I had was that algae had grown down beneath the loose-fitting sides of the blocks, when the plants were young, best guess. Was a fairly gnarly mess along the sides of the blocks behind their plastic covers.

Thanks King. I am doing all those things, fingers crossed. This is quite an adventure.

Keep on it, the more experience the better youll get! Stoked to see where you take it!

You put so much work into your journals and they are so complete, if anybody really wanted to learn the 420method they would just have to read your thread from page 1! Instead of asking you to re-explain everything. You share alot of knowledge in real time amd it would be too much to start from the beginning every time!

Yes, Brother!
All the info is here and IG but some people don’t like doing the research and rather ask questions. It’s all good! For the most part I like helping my fellow grommies and seeing the results they get from what I teach them. I also just got back from a long and well deserved holiday so I’m all rested up and ready for more.

I relocated 7 plants to a buddies building along with a 420watt farm-light and one of the 700 flora-flex lights. going to run them there and split the harvest, while I help him get gear to grow himself, and teach him up.
in the end I will be full but more manageable.

real excited to flower those Tricho Jordan, I have 2 or 3 different phenos 2 of them follow the large duck-foot / wrinkly leaf pattern and some look like the others I have seen that are supposed to be more butterscotch x port wine terp

when is the expected chop day for that gushers, I have been drawn to that since early in this run, would like to mirror that run exactly like you ran it.

My Gushers came down the other day. She took a little longer than the rest but turned into a big beautiful plant and well worth the wait! Her dry weight should be well over 2 pounds.
I’ll post some preharvest pics later.

I really don't know how there's enough hours in the day to fit it all in. Does Tik-Tok have weed on it, you'll have a few followers in no time, with a bonus soft income stream to keep you in Hugos.

I'm impressed with the mint jelly in particular, I really like the structure for the SCROG.

There isn’t D!
I’ve been actually neglecting a lot of my other responsibilities to be able to keep up. Not enough hours in the day my friend.
I haven’t looked into Tik Tok yet but uploading on AFN, IG and Reddit is keeping me busy enough. Would be nice to get paid for what I’m doing and there’s people from all over offering me money for mentorship’s but I’m to nice of a guy to take their hard earned money. Lol!

What I like the most is the controller from vivosun has full control and having 2 controllers I use one in the 2×4 with 2-VIPARSPECTRA XS1500 Pro's and daisy chain the other 2-700w's in the 4×8. The on/off doesn't work on the VIPARSPECTRA's but smart plug controls that. But I think I should use sunglasses in the 4×8 now.

Eye protection is very important when maintaining your canopies. Method 7’s are great LED shades.

Good to know @Mongoose! Thank you!
6.0 down to 5.4 overnight is a big swing. You must have had a lot of algae to make it go down so much in such a short time.
Glad you figured it out buddy!

Lush & Green as always! Proper growing as always

Looking good brother! Frosty buds too, how is the climate in your rooms these days?

Thank you Antonio!
Should be about 7-8 pounds of top shelf colas that came out of the 5x5’ and zero larf. Did my best to avoid unwanted fluff bud and the under canopy lighting did the trick. The colas under the canopy were just as dense and frosty as the ones above which definitely adds to the weight. No lollipopping means no waste!
I’m growing in my garage (my studio) with no climate control so I was battling environment all winter. Had to run my above and under canopy lighting 24/7 and dial in my outtake fan going out of the garage just right to keep the temps in check. Started running my dehumidifier during mid flower to harvest and was able to hold my R/H down in the low to mid 40’s with all the schwazzing I did. Had to buy a couple cheap $30 inline fans for a couple of the small tents that weren’t getting enough dry air pulled through from the lungroom but overall very happy that I didn’t end up with any bud rot and how everything turned out.

That’s very cool Bro!
Thanks for sharing!
Those little 4x4” cubes must have been fertigated every 15 minutes to keep the plants and rockwool from drying out. Lol!
It always amazes me at how big of an auto/photo you can grow in a little chunk of rockwool. I really didn’t expect my Gushers to turn out so big in the little bit of rockwool she was growing in but she suprised me and turned into one of the largest autos I grew this round. Might have to run more stacked 4x4”s in the future to save a little coin.

Yes sir, FastBuds Gorilla autoflower. So far, so good. She's 2x the diameter of my previous grows with DWC, so repeated thanks to Professor 420! ( I'm a rookie, first grow 9 months ago. )

Awesome job for a rookie Goose!
Your first 420 grow went great and they just keep getting better and better from here.
Good to know that you’re happy with the results bro.

Great advice!

I guess I’ve been lucky that I haven’t had PH problem caused from algae growth yet. Lol!
