Indoor Ryker604's Indoor Extravaganza feat. AutoPots, BioTabs, HID lights and 17 plants

[Ryker604_BT]

Yeah dude Sour Stomper is another favourite of mine so that crossed with the Crinkle should be bloody awesome. They look like my kinda plants mate, exactly like you said above. Dense sticky colas for sure. They look mental dude. Are they available or were they a special? I’m guessing special! Doh.

Calmag problems eh? Hmmm. Seems all too common. I actually can’t decide if my photos are slightly yellow from hunger or if it’s slight calmag def as I’ve upped the feed and the new growth is still pretty pale. Bit nervous about flipping to 1212 so I may wait another day! Lol

What symptoms are yours showing mate? Yellow? Blotchy?

Dude, Mephisto Genetics - Limited Editions - Double Grape, it's in their regular line-up and is currently in stock in their shop .

To quote their strainguide: One of the frostiest, oiliest varieties we've ever produced and it's not just for show, Double Grape packs a mean punch too. Specimens were tested at 27% THC .

All in all, HIGHly recommended dude :smoking:.

Considering the problems, you're probably right, that's my line of thought exactly. These bigger plants (Cherry Bomb for instance, TONS of bud sites) with these lights seem to need a really great amount of feed (or maybe just microelements) that this mix is probably lacking. Especially considering that the smaller plants (Mephistos) are perfectly healthy.

However, it could be the distance of the lights, I lower the lights in flowering to 30cm above canopy and after reading a bit these last couple of days, that could be too close for autoflowers. Especially with 600 W and a 20/4 schedule. Backed up the lights to 40-45cm now, we'll see .

Anyway, I'm not satisfied and I'm already jotting down what I will change for the next grow, I really want a perfect grow health and color wise.

How about trying some growers ark universal traces mate? It’s designed to use when you don’t use their feed at full strength. It doesn’t change EC or anything as it’s just trace elements essential to the plants? Very cheap, 5 quid a litre direct from GA. May be worth a try? Or just raise lights as you already have!

Reckon you could get away with 400w in those tents with autos so you def have an “abundance” of light!

Easy on the THC quotes dude!!! That’s a “total cannabinoids” figure you’ll find. THC more like just under 22%. Still pretty bloody strong though!

Those Universal Traces seem interesting, I'll check them out a bit more, thank you for the advice.

I'll try raising the lights first, then we'll see about those 400W, can't imagine 400W in a 4x4 tent, I'm a 600W-or-go-home bloke considering HID lights :smoking:.

22.67% to be precise but yeah, you get it .

 

[Hippy_BiotabsF70]

OK 600w it is dude you nutter

More FOOD then!! 150w of light per auto is really saturating it with light mate, so maybe they just need stronger food. Kinda seems odd when you think about it though, as you give them Bio PK every 5 days which is food after all

See, that's what I'm thinking too, so my conclusion is that SUPPLEMENTAL food is lacking. Coco is inert, Biotabs dont have a special CalMg product and it seems that my preparation with dolomite lime and Silicium Flash isn't enough for full-on flowering in bigger plants .

However, I may be wrong about all of this and doing some stupid rookie mistake the whole time :smoking:.

Nah I reckon you've got it dude.

I have the tiniest suspicion that the calmag is kind of a diversion. Maybe it's more food in general as discussed. Supplemental as you put it. BUT, the idea with the tabs is obviously NOT to supplement so would be good to get it in your mix somehow? Trouble is the tabs are a wee bit N heavy if you start adding more imo. Too much for young plants.

So!! Guess it's gonna have to be added. Have you tried the PK booster tee? Pain in the arse to brew BUT you can make it real strong as it's hard to overdose with the stuff in my experience. Think it has less N then the Bio PK.

Fook knows mate. I'll top rabbiting on sorry! GF isn't well and I'm bored. Nothing else to do to tent. Blah

Yo, I don't mind, happy I can discuss this with someone, it's been really buggin' me lately .

Could be, but I've put 2,5 tabs in the pots this time instead of the 2 tabs last time, reckoned 3 would be overkill with all the rest.

However, I've got a hunch that changing the coco for soil will possibly do the trick . Somehow it seems all would fall into place - more minerals, slightly smaller plants (?) and possibly better for the BioTabs micro life (?). And possibly add AirDomes to that.

Now I have also thought about soil again recently mate. Well soiless soil lol. I used Biobizz lightmix for a year but never with autopots. Def worked well with Biotabs though.

The reason I went to soil was I got a gnat infestation in the roots of one of my plants in an air pot. Figured I’d do everything I could to avoid a repeat. So went autopots and solid pots, and coco. But I have to say I’m not sure I’ve seen massive difference in growth or anything with coco but other things have changed so who knows?

I’d like to try lightmix again with tabs and autopots. And def use the air domes with soil. I use them anyway.

Biotabs are DEFINITELY better in soil. Can’t be denied. Coco is inert where soil is alive in simple terms that my brain can understand

Do it mate. Soil it up one time.

And sorry I missed this post Dude. Been up me own arse with anxiety today!

Don't worry mate, I'm up and about anyways .

There's no sense in talking to you anymore cause all we gonna do is just agree some more and that's no discussion is it ?

Jokes aside, thinking in the same lane again, I have a feeling that with soil+airdome I'll stay with the same growth WITHOUT the problems.

But hey, who knows, right? Gotta try out .
