So my helper the upside down guy in my avatar is named Jojo. He requested I play a little video for you.

Oops I didn't know I posted that first video thought I edited that out LOL.

I guess at some point I'll have to post a video of what my flower room actually looks like now I don't have those divisions anymore and I don't have that scrog setup anymore.

Great vids jingo. Nice to see your grow area and I love the dog, of course.

Thanks cat, if I didn't have a dog following me around everywhere I go I don't know what I do.

So anyway it occurred to me that I missed the main structural stretch. So now hitting my minimum acceptable goal is probably going to be rough. At the beginning of this grow I decided I wanted a half pound to make me real happy 6 ounces I'd be delighted anything less than 4 ounces I be unhappy camper. I like to give myself goals because it keeps me motivated and pushes me forward it's my laziness that keeps me from achieving my goals most of the time. But, if I don't set them I don't even strive for them.

So here's what we're looking like today with my little Auto blue.

And here I have a group photo.

I'm starting to transition my grow room over to winter so my preferred method of growing in my lung room or where my tents are is to have that space be around 75 degrees in the winter. Then I'll just have a fan sitting in the middle of the room or a couple of fans in the middle of the room really blasting all my plants one time. Issues I've got right now is I don't quite have enough temperature in my flower room to keep my fans circulating the air. Since they draw the intake air from the lung room I need to actually warm up my long room air a touch and my flower room is attached. So I'm just going to bring up my lung room air at first and see if I can't bring up the temperature of my flower room just buy the air circulation from the lung room.

So in my group photo above and looking at each plant closely I've learned a few things about autoflowers.

The three plants on the right are all getting the exact same strength nutrients. The smaller bag on the far left is a vast and fast. I gave it a smaller bag because I thought it was a short flowering strain and to be honest I still don't know how long it's supposed to flower. The other two are in 5 gallon Phat sacks.

In my observations and from others here on the forum my auto blue is a bit nitrogen toxic I let it get that way so my bad. Then I go to the vast and fast it's a little nitrogen toxic also. The Durban Poison in the center loves the Food Level exactly where it's at the color looks great the growth looks great I'm very happy with her progress. Now I have an auto blackberry kush on the right that one's a little pale when I look up close and it shows a little Cal Mag issues going on.

So in the back of my mind and my plan has been to set up my Autoflower grow in my flower room once I clear out my photo plants. I also want to have them set up on auto water and that's going to be an issue as I'm learning if I want to grow different strains all the same time which is exactly what I want to do. So I'm going to have to contemplate developing a feed schedule that is a little bit weak that might suit say 80 90% of the bigger faster growing autoflowers. And then maybe custom feed through foliar applications. This will get me right back to my main problem not enough time I mean I can't imagine feeding every plant individually with a foliar feed unless I'm on auto feed schedule.

Anyway, the way I'm going to deal with this little Auto blue if I'm going to continue to try and spread her out just to touch thin her out a little bit in the center and watch the main Cola start to stack. From there I might get an idea just how much to thin her out and how much I can develop the bud sites that are there. If she doesn't get much bigger I think four ounces is not going to happen.

I've adjusted my nutrients mix down a total of 2 mil per gallon of nitrogen and I've also withheld the foliar feeding for right now is that had a bit of nitrogen also. I'm going to watch and make adjustments as I go from here on out.

I think I also have another issue in that I am following so many different grow logs right now that I'm not really researching my own grow quite enough.

I know exactly what you mean about following other grow logs to the detriment of your own research. I had to stop trawling through the forum because I just don't have enough hours in the day to do research, care for plants, and then follow other grows.

It's a lot of work to mix different nute strengths. I worked this system with two plants and it got a little mundane. As this is my first grow, I wasn't too bothered about yield. Ordinarily, if I couldn't harvest at least 3 oz off each plant, then it would feel it's a waste of time and tent-space. I only have room for 2-3 plants, so I need them to be good yielders.

I also have a dog that follows me absolutely everywhere and I'd be lost without him. Here's to paw-power

Day 28

Well it's perfectly obvious now that I missed the main stretch on this planet or at least didn't get what I was hoping for. I've been kind of going back and forth whether I should just let it grow out bush and use it mostly for butter, or should I just send it down to a few good cops and try and grow the best quality smoke.

I went ahead and decided to so I send it out way down and now I can see through the plant so what I do grow should at least come in nice and dense and be quality.

That's exactly what I did with my small N/L auto and I caught her just in time before damp issues set in.

 

[jingo]

Well I'm in good company then with that cracker that you just finished.

Well it's been almost a week now. My little Auto blue has been recovering nicely and then Just for kicks I fed her with the the grow nutrients that I've been using for my other autos that are about two weeks behind her. Well obviously it was an accident that I fed those nutrients. Once again I've proven that I am the worst pest in my grow room. Anyway I have a few pictures here sad as they may be.

Now I think it's kind of funny that I'm growing such poor looking plant. So I think what I may do is run all my experimental grows on this forum. That way I can just screw up every plant I grow over here. Lol
