Andy what the hell would Nancy do without you? Thanks for the info man!

So there has to be a way to slowly introduce nutes after week 1 to get that deep dark green and keep it there..

Killijin, take a look at the advanced diagnosis thread, I cannot even see your picture but you can compare to some of the other pictures there, like AB said there is such a thing as too green and you will see that when you see the plant with too much nitrogen. Hope this helps.

I sometimes see a little lack of N after about 2 weeks in straight Pro Mix. Somewhat strain dependent. As a quick fix you can mix plain old household ammonia with water and do a foliar spray. 10 parts water to 1 part ammonia. Once a day for about 3 days usually does the trick. Just watch for any leaf curl or other signs of overfeeding.

Also, not all strains are the same color. Generally speaking I find sativas or sativa dominants to be a lighter shade than indicas.

1. Muddy when are you going to write the Auto-Flower Grow Bible.. There is a market and it wants one.

2. Is there anything different or special that some of you seasoned pros do for curing auto-flowers?

3. Has anyone found a good nute regime for seedlings in the first 3 weeks? something to give them a boost?

I don't do any thing special for curing. Hang in a cool place for about 3 to 4 days, then I cut buds off and put them in a large cookie jar witch I burp about three to foir times a day.I wait another4 to 5 days then I final trim and put it in mason jars and screw the tops on tight I check them everyday and watch for mold.cures vary from one person to another but after two to three weeks they should be cured.

 

[Killijin]

Final trim? so you manicure the fan leaves that are jutting out from the cola, then you cure it, then you trim what after that?

 

[Killijin]

Another question about breeding: Do you risk an autoflower that is a mix of rudarelis (sic) and or indica/sativa, and cross it with another full photo breed, what are the chances of the plant taking the more dominant photo genes then the recessive auto? I would like to take my auto-ak48 and cross it with OG Kush #18 I will call it SteelyDan. lol

Nobody answered my questions! Poo on you! May you get a rogue male! no not really, I am kidding (slightly).. but here is one other question please:

Nute Regime:Using Flora Gro/Micro/Bloom Gro = 2-1-6- micro 5-0-1 bloom = 0-5-4 does anyone know a good formula to use for autos? I plan on switching permanently to advanced nutes.. but for now this is what I have. Any recommendations for these during vegetative/flowering respectfully? thanks for any info. Just a guideline or something doesn't have to be secrets revealed or anything. Thanks!

 

[Killijin]

Welp, alright then, anyways here is something I have been wondering, how come grow pots don't have a white exterior? Seems odd to me that they wouldn't have the exterior surface reflective?

 

[Killijin]

one more thing, does anybody know a good way to dampen the sound from your intake and outtake fans, specifically inline duct fans? thanks for looking!

Hey man. I remember someone putting a thread up about silencing fans. I thought it was pretty cool. Here's the link and thanks to alex10.
