Indoor Zamnesia GOTY 2nd leg 2019 5x GSC Auto

[Vicent Van Grow]

Hey all this is my Journal for the GSC auto by Zamnesia. I will be doing 5 of these girls along with another 7 for another battle but I will keep all of my focus on this thread to the GSC.
A friend recently finished some photo GSC which was delightful so I have a very clear picture of what I would like to see.

This is my setup:

Space
A small room with some sheeting which measures roughly 2.4m x 1.2m
Lights
2 - Medium parabolic sunkings shaders, run by classic digital hacienda ballast's , 600w hps

Extraction and air movement
a 315/600 rhino pro out-take running on a 315mm RVK set to high
1 - 20" floor fan
1- 18" desk fan

Grow Method/medium
3 Ltr plastic pots for first 14 days in a general garden store pre fertilised seedling mix
Then into 16ltr Root Pouches with either eco thrive 60/40 or gold label 60/40 (my current cycle will determine which)

Nutrients
Canna coco A + B
Atami rootbastic
Shogun Cal Mag
AN Big bud coco
GT Silicon
Bcuzz Bloom Stim
Atami Bloombastic

After 16-18 hours in the cup the seeds were placed into some kitchen roll soaked by the water from the cup, this was then placed into an old PS4 game case and then wrapped in a kitchen towel and placed into a cardboard box which sits in a shaded area of my grow room.
Pictures to follow shortly.

A big thanks to @Zamnesia and all the staff for making this happen.

Zamnesia GOTY 2nd leg Update

After 16 hours in a cup of water and 38 hours in wet kitchen roll closed inside an old ps4 game case all 5 GSC auto sprouted.

They were then placed into 3 ltrs pots filled with bio-bizz all mix, under a 600w HPS and left overnight

Come next day 1/4/2019 Day 1 and a couple of the GSC auto's have broken soil, I expect the rest will be through tomorrow.

Day 5

All is good, topped the pots up with a little more bio-bizz all mix to help support the girls and a light watering of plain unph'd water (stands at 6.8ph from tap), temps are at 25c lights on 20c lights off.

Zamnesia GOTY 2nd leg - Week 2 update

Day 14

Just fed as and when needed with more plain water, will be potted up into 16ltr root pouches with Gold label 60/40 as soon as my order arrives (sooner the better but latest should be monday)
So far so good, From experience this is exactly the stage I would expect a strong healthy plant to be at in my set up.

Zamnesia GOTY 2nd leg - Week 3 update

Day 21

Plants were again fed only un-ph'd water when required and finally got potted up yesterday day 20 (16 Ltr root pouchs with gold label 60/40). They started showing signs of wanting more root space from day 18 and within 12 hours of being potted up started to look happy again so should not have caused too many problems. Once potted I gave each plant 2ltrs of feed containing 0.5ml of rootbastic per 20L and 5ml of canna A and B per 20L which came to an EC of 0.3. I then removed most of the big shader leaves and pinched the top to encourage the plants to bush out more.

Zamnesia GOTY 2nd leg - Week 4 update

Day 28

Had a few problems this week but the girls have still done nicely tho they do seem rather tender to extra nutes, have been lightly fed with the feed standing at 0.45ec which is 5ml of canna a and b , 3 ml of shogun calmag and 3 ml of silicon but they responded in a manner which indicated nitrogen toxicity therefore I have backed off and gave them plain water at a ph of 6.3 , will try again with a light feed in a few days. Saying that as you can the growth in the last week has been great.

Zamnesia GOTY 2nd leg - Week 5 update

Day 35

So the girls were a little tender when it came to the pre fert bio bizz but now it has run out the bigger girls have absolutely gone to town eating up their reserves within a day or 2 so now we are playing catch up so the girls are now on a mix of Canna a and b, some cal mag and silicon coming out at an E.c of 1.0 and ph of 6.4, this will be upped steadily until I am happy they are where I want them. This cycle has taught me to ditch the pre fert soil in my starter pots, The girls would accept nothing but plain water without signs of nitrogen toxicity but then within 2 days began to eat their reserves at an alarming rate. I know I can do a much better job feeding them as and when I think it is required.
