Hahaha, yeah man, was arranging the pics and post for almost 2 hours but it's done
. Thank you for the nice words and you'll be happy to know that I'm starting my FLO grow
.
And I think that you know that feeling when you KNOW you could do better :smoking:. But yeah, I'm not that hard on myself, these are great results - 15 of 16 autoflowers I grew yielded more than 100g
. The trim job was a PAIN IN THE ASS
. However, I agree with you, the attention to detail during the trim really lets the buds shine and I like it that way.
Thank you for the kind words and rep, I hope we'll have a chance to try our products some time
.
Thank you man, I'm satisfied, don't get me wrong but I know that some mistakes costed me a part of the yield and me no like that :smoking:. I'm confident now that I can get almost always around 500g per tent in this setup, so yeah, seems like a good base to start my growing adventures for real
.
Thank you dude and no problem, I personally think that I'm lacking in details, much more stuff to write but who has the time, eh :smoking:? :smoking:
Thank you, it's finally done
. Can we scale down that number to 5? We'll try every strain, think that's enough :smoking:.
CONCLUSION
Well, as I'm already replying to you guys discussing the finished grow, it's probably time to finish it officially here in the thread.
First of all, to make sure, I AM satisfied with the final results. Quality is OUTSTANDING, again!, which proves to me that BioTabs are the real deal and I'm sticking with them perfecting this setup. Considering I have some great ORGANIC end product on my hands, the yield is very nice too
.
However, I do know that I've made some mistakes during this grow and that it could've been better, yield at least
. Germination was great, almost all of the seeds popped (17/18) but I wasn't satisfied with the transplant into the final Autopots - seems that it was early and the girls suffered some transplant stress. One of the reasons that I'm now trying a later transplant with bigger, nursery pots in the start
.
Light was another problem, it was TOO close most of the time and caused some good bleaching in at least half of the plants. The conclusion was that autoflowers don't need the same intensity of light as photos because they have a longer light regime (more hours in the light) and that I should keep HID lights at a minimum of 50-60cm away from autoflowers
. Better luck next time :smoking:.
The last grow I did made me realize that the pure coco I use is low in micro elements so I found some dolomite lime to add this grow. At first I wasn't satisfied with the effect but I realized that it helped a lot as there were little signs of CalMg def (only on some CalMg hogs) and the bleaching was mostly caused by light being too close. Still needs adjusting but it's an improvement.
I think that's about it concerning this grow, on to the next
! Got some live seedlings (photoperiods too! a first for me
!) already and the plan is to continue with this setup - BioTabs for the win
. This time I will be trying out soil instead of coco and possibly running some Airdomes.
And of course, with the great help of our friend
@TheMongol I'm gonna be trying out some FLOrganics in Autopots, very excited about that
. Double the organics this run it seems.
Also I'll try to put up some grow/smoke reports for the strains here. Meanwhile you can read my grow/smoke report of
Auto Glueberry OG by Dutch Passion from the last grow and enjoy a photo from a dried Double Grape and Cosmic Queen bud
.
And for last, I can't even start to describe how much this community means to me and I appreciate it so much for all you guys participating, helping and hanging out
.
Hope that I can keep up with spreading the positive vibes around and I wish all of you luck with you growing adventures
.
Peace out :smoking:.
