Hey guys these are just my tester plants to see how different organic methods work all my own I read a lot and the soil I've used is from the ground it's a clay loam more loam than clay with a natural ph of 6.5-6.8, I thought that was so lucky and everything flourishes in the area so it seemed like a good choice. It was quite compact when settled in the test pot I left out with no plant just the soil so I added some sand and 10 percent perlite and one and a half handfuls of our own horse manure rotted for 5-8 years for the final potting. Now the plants, 4 auto flowers I believe two to be bubba kush 97 x cheese and unsure of the other two but they have a distinct cheesy smell. And 4 strain hunters money maker photoperiods but I won't speak so much about them as this is a auto flower foum? And we all might be in the south UK.
So the bubbakush plants are looking good ill attach a couple pics from week 5, plant one is in a homemade greenhouse with a clearish thin plastic sheeting gets direct early morning Sun right up until about 5pm then it's shaded slightly, no nutrients I've given them as of yet. I have some organic mixes for root,mass,flowering but bit nervous about using them so far along. There's the odd ant on her about 4 at a time maybe I've allowed them to stay as they are a good pest deterrent as long as they aren't nestling in the soil which they aren't fortunately.
Bubbakush 2;
She is in a trough to herself as her sister hermied >.< about 11/12L, same mix of sharp sand two trowels, horse manure one handful and the earthgiven soil, natural direct sunlight from 10am-7pm again sceptical about the spots cause of direct light, it's all fields in tree lines so it's quite bright no buildings or forests etc. The rain has done most the watering for me, watered her once when the topsoil got dry to a inch or so. Not had any issues with her she looks really good not very bushy but tall! Ill get my tape measure out but at the moment she must be between 80cm-100cm. About 12 flowering sites 6 big yield looking areas others are quite small but long branches.
The two small girls of unknown origin;
These share a 10Lish trough, same soil mixes as above, same age maybe a little further along in their life time! Certainly seem like they are a few weeks away while the bubba kush seems to have 4/5 weeks left. Only small maybe a foot tall on number one and a bit bigger on two. These two I'm going to go take a pic of them the smaller one is developing some kind of deficiency I think with Browny spots on it but still looks healthy I don't want it to effect bud production though. I'm not worried about the larger one it looks very happy ! Small but happy!
Well there's my current autos I have a few bagseed seedlings as well just potted in a mix of store bought 30% coco 20% sharp sand 50% erroneous plants compost(recommended thought I'd try it) with a layer of stones at the bottom of some big ass 10/12 gallon tubs, the two that have been potted were the strongest two out of 12. 3 failed germs 2 died after germ 7 left and 1 is full blown retard I think. 5 started in peat pots. 2 in 1 pint plastic pots. One of the peats shot up faster indica leaves, the biggest was one of the pint plastic pots indica/sativa looking about 6 or 7 inches high maybe more cause on transplant I piled earth higher up the stalk for support. there all about 4 weeks old.
These are all my testers for the 5 purple amnesia autos I've ordered they come with a free short stuff seeds 3 mix and a feminised blimburn grizzly purple kush so as much advice as you can all muster and more pics of plants manure and nutrients inbound
