Hey AFN family... Long time lurker whose been soaking up as much info as possible on this site to improve my growing. My last grow was decent but somewhat underwhelming so I've invested in quality soil and stepped up my pot game (no pun intended) to 3gal smartpots from the cheapo plastic pots I bought from Home Depot.

The seeds I'm growing are Pyramid's Auto Shark(http://www.autofloweringseeds.com/pyramid-auto-shark-autoflowering-feminised-seeds-3258) and Cream of The Crop's Cash Crop (http://www.autofloweringseeds.com/cream-of-the-crop-cash-crop-autoflowering-feminised-seeds-4629)
The Pyramid seed just celebrated her 2nd week bday yesterday of the CoTC seed is 1 1/2 wks old. My plan was to grow blue diesel along with the Pyramid seed but it died soon after sprouting. The seeds were initially planted in a Jiffy Pot for the first week prior to them moving to their final 3gal home.

Soil, Lights and all the other important info:

Soil: 50/50 mix of FFHF & FFOF w/ some Miracle Gro Perlite (that I washed and strained to get the time release ferts out) and some hydroton to line the bottom of the smartpots (also washed)

Lights: Mars Hydro 150w reflector series light. I had a cheapo 300w LED which I purchased from Ebay early last year but it sucks in flowering so I purchased Mars Hydro's "old model" 300w light for $76 on ebay today.

Tent: 32"x32"x63" that I purchased from Amazon.
Fan(s): One stand alone fan at the moment but will upgrade to a larger oscillating one with the plants are more mature.

I think that covers everything, feel free to shoot me a line with questions, concerns etc. I plan to update the journal at least once a week.

Welcome SourDeezDC and good luck on your grow. Looking good so far :thumbs:.
 
thanks Reed, it's been a painless ride so far except for the blue diesel dying soon after it sprouted (I was really looking forward to growing it too). The auto shark has a faint smell to it if you get up close and personal.

Quick question though... How can I put a link to the grow journal in my signature so others can check it out??
 
Click on settings in the upper right, that will take you to the page where you can edit your profile.

Cheers :tiphat:
 
Howdy folks,

This grow has been smooth sailing and pain free so far, I knowwww it's still early in the process but I attribute it to the quality soil (50/50 mix of FFHF & FFOF) along with not following Fox Farms fert schedule which has gotten me into trouble in the past with nute burn. I've also been bubbling the solution with an air pump and air stone for at least 12hrs prior to feeding.

Pics attached: One the left is the Pyramid Auto Shark (3wks old today) somewhat smelly but manageable atm. On the right is the CoTC Cash Crop, she turned 2wks old this past Saturday. She's not a large as her big sis but I'm sure she'll pick up later on.

I'm leaving town for the week for a family emergency and I'm praying to the vegetative gods that my babies are still in one piece when I return. They were watered on saturday butauto shark and CoTC (2).jpgauto shark and CoTC.jpg I'll give them a spritz with a water bottle before I head out.
 
Question: how come in the forum the envelope icon is gray similar to the abandoned threads rather than red?
 
Plants looking good there, the real stinkieness is sure to come soon ;) Keep it up!
(Don't know about the envelopes bro ;) haven't really figured that out myself)
 
Wassup peeps,

Grow is going extremely well... I watered both plants yesterday til run off with a tablespoon of Big Bloom and 2teaspoons of Grow Big. Both plants are both a great shade of green and show no signs of a deficiency. The Auto Shark is 4wks old with great growth while the CoTC Cash Crop is 3wks old (still waiting for growth to explode like the auto shark).

Update time!!

The Auto Shark her celebrated her 5th wk bday yesterday and has exploded in growth in the past week. I've counted over 10 bud sites and she has a pleasant aroma when up close. It's been a painless ride with her. I gave her a small dose of Tiger Bloom (1teaspoon) along with 2 teaspoons of Grow Big and 1tablespoon of Big Bloom. I might have to tie her down if she grows exponentially during flowering.

The CoTC Cash Crop is 4wks old this past Saturday but has been a slower grower than the auto shark. Also, some of the leaves have a slight discoloration, very pale green in some spots, maybe needs more N?? Anywho, I'll let her do her thing since it hasn't been stunted in anyway and I bubble the water overnight before every feeding and I've been careful with the nutes to avoid any type of burn.

Anyway, onto the pictures...

little late to this one, but looking good so far SourDeez. have you always bubble up your ff nutes? just wondering about the difference between that and just mixing up in water. I think it should help like it does with an organic tea. but I'm rambling on (stoned againLOL) don't know about the grey envelope. seen em but never paid much attention heres a link to a tutorial Spanglish posted on adding a link sig. its how I learned and way less confusing than if I explained it LOL
