Indoor Pop22 Vs Pops

[Grey Bear]

Your finding my techniques useful is reward enough! And I wanted to show, transplanting autos isn't the big deal people think it is!

It is becoming less of an issue now, just like feeding loads and such.
Some of the early wisdom that was shared by experienced auto growers and breeders does need revision.
But it is always good to know when there is a known history of sensitivity to a certain factor, even if that trait isn't dominant now.
When stunted was still a member here, I think he did all kinds of crazy shit (weedeater buzzjob, to splitting the main stem, etc) to stonedragons or some strain, just to show how much abuse they could take.
I push autoflowers very hard with my light regimes and feeding schedules, I don't think I could have done it as successfully with the early strains.
Some strains don't appreciate a bunch of movement to their roots though and will balk for a few days after it is done. That can be a significant loss, depending on the plants growth stage.

Good day To All.

Here is a update for you. 11 days old.
Remember I place my seed straight into the soil.

Still looking good.
I see @pop22 has named his new girl.
I would like to name mine also, here is my proposal. I would like you at AFN to come up with some names for this battle. I will choose the one I like the best. So come up with some good ones for my new girl.

Maybe it is the modern strains, I don't know. I do know that I've transplanted at least 25 strains and many plants since adopting this techniques, and I've had 100% success so far!
I treat all my plants the same, photo and auto and I've done some heavy duty stress testing also, topping, super cropping, etc. Yep, I've seen Stunted's amazing work! He was part of my inspiration.

Update:

My lady is doing well! Nice color and no apparent issues. She is liking the soil it seems!
I've moved it into the small tent with the auto Blue Dragons and the 2 AU.

I'm looking forward to what should be my best Mephisto grow. I love his strains, but my success with them has been mostly dismal.. Till I discovered that my water was killing / ruining them! This will be the first time I've grown one since getting my RO filter. Think I need to get out those Walter White I have left............

What was the issue that they had with your water? pH? TDS too high? Chloramines?

 

[pop22]

To this day, i don't have a specific answer. I have water from a community well. it is chlorinated
( not chloromine ). I always dechlorinated. ppms at the tap averaged 127. I had the watewr tested and no one thing seemed to have high levels. It took months to figure out it was the water. I thought it was ph problems with my DWC. So I switched to organic soil. Still had problems with what looked to be either toxicity or nute lockout. The minute I switched to RO water, my problems ended!

[pop22]

whats even weirder, it only affected my cannabis, my veggies all did fine with tap water!

 

[Duckster]

I couple speculate a number reasons why it would affect your cannabis and not the veggies but since the RO has it sorted out, kind of a moot point. Are you giving the veggies RO water too. If not it might be interesting to try and see if they turn out even better than normal. The little lady is looking stellar BTW
