Auto #1 berry ryder and jack herer auto 1st grow

**tcheese123** · 19-10-14, 12:32 AM

Just watered with a quarter strength big bloom ..quarter strength grow big and molasses. Plants are getting to a point where it's getting hard to get all 3 light. I'm using cfls (6500k) right now and will switch to the 2700k soon cause auto #1 already started flowering. Everything seems to be going smoothly. My avg temp is about 82 which I wish I could get that down. That's all I gots fo now.

I plan on using 6500k cfls along with the 250 during veg and 2700k cfls along with the 250 in flower. If all goes well hopefully I can start a journal here. Anyway I really appreciate any help/advice anyone's willing to dish out.

I think auto's should get as much light as possible from the off through to finish (obviously without burning your plants) and yes i would add the hps to cfl's. More light bigger the yield its as simple as that.

Hey everybody back with another update. Just got done watering again so it looks like I've been having to water once every 4 days for the most part.

I've got a problem though and need yalls help and opinions. As you can see I didn't do a very good job on picturing how many plants would properly fit in my tent and it's already to crowded for my liking. I know when the extractor fan is on the plants are really up against the walls of the tent with the neg pressure. I'm just wondering if I should keep on or get rid of the auto#1 on the left as its the weakest looking plant but further along or just try to ride it out with all 3. Just keep going back and forth as of now. Still new at this and not sure if having the plant up against the wall is a really bad thing or not. I have 3 fans going inside the tent so I know there is good circulation. Please let me know what yall think.

Here is all 3 ...auto1 berry ryder and jack on right. The Jack has very bendable stems. It's almost like they are to flimsy. Is this prob just the strain?

Ganjagunman thanks for pointing me in the right direction on the splash burn by the way. I've been a lot more careful when watering and haven't had the issue since.

Kbag I'm using 4 32w cfls along with the 250 hps and honestly think I still need more light.

Update and pic. .

Berry ryder (29 days old) auto #1 and jack herer (both 36 days old) topped the Jack and now think I should have topped all of them

Ok so berry ryder is on day 37 and jack herer on day 44. Both are in full flower. I am finishing the auto #1 outside as I don't have proper room in the tent. Just watered todsy with a little bit of N, molasses and bloom notes.

Everything coming along nicely. Berry ryder on right is younger but showing more trichs and larger nug potential. Also as you can see the Jack herer is a light green. I've given it plenty of nitrogen and it hasn't darkened up. Do yall think it's fine?? Thanks

Update for myself since I think I scared everyone off lol.....pics to follow

Auto seeds Berry ryder (day 54) berry ryder is looking amazing and I know this is my first grow but I am very impressed with the trich production so far. It was showing a cal mag deficiency so I just fed it 5 ml of botanicare cal mag. I'm thinking it still has at least 3 weeks which would put it at 75 days we'll past the 60 days advertised.

Advanced seeds jack herer. (Day mid 60s?) This is obviously more sativa and I am not as impressed so fsr. The plant is older has less smell, smaller nugs and alot less trichomes. This is the plant I topped and while I'm happy with the plant structure I'm not very happy with the buds. Anyways thanks to anyone who stopped by please leave feedback.
