Hi guys!
Things are going slow, but going on. Has been quite a warm and rainy week.
Plants numbered in "born order": [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#6[/HASHTAG] show cotyledons now, one of them is quite white... we'll see. The other three did root, even [HASHTAG]#7[/HASHTAG], but not yet standing up. "Be patient" i constantly repeat for myself...
Humidity has been about 75% last 3 days, now stabilized. Temp's been between 17,4 and 22,6ºC. Quite hours testing the fans to lower humidity, and mixing the 200W CFL with the 600W MH with and without cooltube.
I had them under 200W CFL until day 6, where i changed it into 600W MH with Adjust+Cooltube. 24/0 right now on adjust+cooltube. I'm gonna switch to 20/4 tomorrow then probably 18/6 in preflowering stage, but not sure yet. I had Cal problems on my last AU the last 30 days, i think it was because of the 24/0 schedule. Any opinions about this?


@Corgy Everything's calm for now at Guadalcanal!
Cheers!

Aye, the quiet before the hurricane.....

If you're worried about calmag deficiency, just add a little to every second watering or so..... Personally I use Bio-Green Calgel http://www.eugrowshop.eu/uk/nutrition-supplements/bio-green/biogreen-calgel-10ltr/ at half recommended dose just as prevention, but with the GH Flora Nova Bloom that I now always use from start to finish I've yet to see signs of any deficiencies and doubt it actually make any difference ...... I've got plenty calgel from a closeout growshop sale, so it's just an almost free feelgood thing.... Better safe than sorry.... Lol

Rather than fidgeting about calmag, me thinks you need to embark on some serious space exploration..... Kinda soonish......!

Hi there!

Only the initial 4 made it, and the other three died in the attept.
I'm starting some Red Poison from Sweet Seeds for the small tray, the big one's gonna be for the AU's with all priorities.


I'm starting to use Bcuzz Root Stim 1ml/ litre and Coco A+B 1ml/l (EC 0.4 pH 5.9). Spraying with water twice per day.
Cheers!

Hi guys! A few days without passing by, quite busy at work.
Finally only 4 AU's made it so i added 3 Red Poisons from Sweet Seeds for the small tray. All were born, the slowest one was discarted, but now one of them looks to be the... MUTANT!! See her on the last pic ^^

Weather has been okay except for some nights where temp went down to 14.2ºC. Still on 20/4
Yesterday i sprayed them with 1,5ml/l of Confidor 20LS (1,5 litre total), quite mosquitos around from the beggining. Today i saw some of them barely alive, flying in circles, hope there's gona be none tomorrow. You'll see some white dots on the plants, it's the confidor remaining.

I think they look good but everything overall it's going slow, according with the general "day counting" on other forum posts shall i say it's day 16 for the 2 small ones and 18 for the big ones. They didn't "explode in health" yet, maybe because the mosquitos?... damn 'em.
What do you think?
Cheers!

Oh boy, my favorite strain to grow :smoking:

First of all, don't you worry for a second that they are a bit small now. You were blessed :smoking: Because even 4 ults can crowd 1.2x1.2 in no time. Those are beasts [burp], Morty, i tell ya :smoking:

I've seen some smaller phenos of AU but even those are not "small" per se. Also, very hardy strain: Mazar genetics, and you can't kill Mazar neither with heat (last summer I had a bit of a +35c situation with them) nor frost (that one I assume)

Looking forward to you discovering their quite unique flowering aroma. Absolutely sweet and narcotic!

Hello everybody!! Merry and green christmas to everyone!

Well well well... things are beginning to get interesting around here. Those little princesses of mine started to develop pubic hair already, and the skunk smell is starting to spread around the room.

Temp & humidity had been excellent so far, but a mosquito or two are still around. I see them going in & out from the pot's holes... i don't know if go confidor again or let them be, feeling like i can't be effective if they have that many entries to the substrate...

Today's feeding had been the last one using distilled water, next time and on gonna be with tap water after 24h of "resting?"

Feed:

1ml A+B
1ml b'cuzz root stim
1ml coco bloei

Thanks mate! I appreciate it

No signs of anything related still, but checking for it every day. Soon i'm gonna switch from 20/4 to 18/6 just in case, that may prevent me to preventivly use the cal/mag . Anyway i already bought it just in case.

Done! Full tray for them I'm thinking now about to remove their first node, last time they were quite large branches with quite small buds.

First of all, don't you worry for a second that they are a bit small now.

Yep... i've been quite impatient. But no more!! They're really growing fast now so i'm just enjoying it now
