Scorpion & M_C grow some autos :)

[M_C]

OK, I've been chatting with scorpion the last few days as he's been having a few issues & was thinking about throwing in the towel....

...well, I'm just not the sort of person who will take that lying down so, out of retirement - again! - for a mentoring program!

We shall be running with a 300w Mars LED (yeah, I know!) & his groom dimensions are not that dissimilar from my own groom... so that's helpful :)

It's a soil grow, Plant Magic soil with Organicus as a nute... and that's it ;) If we have any mag issues then we shall beg/borrow/steal some Epsom. Yup, it's a budget grow - the best sort going :)

The aim is 2 ounce (or an ounce a plant) which should be easily achieved :)

We have a back up of a 300w CFL but, touch wood we won't need it!

scorpion's seeds cracked today & are going in fabric pots - 10L maybe... can't remember :laugh: but I'm sure scorpion will correct me if I'm wrong on anything :)

So, we just await scorpion's arrival :)

[scorpion]

cheers for setting it up m8, and yes they are 10l fabric pots

i can't thank M_C enough for taking me under his wing and teaching me the ways of the Canurai lol

As M_C said i was thinking of sacking it as i tried to grow two seedstockers northern lights autos already and they had the helmet left on and died within days, and i grew a rqs quick one that got to 28 days then died and a barneys farm blue cheese auto that died after 21 days, so as you can tell i've got no experience with growing plants or weeds or anything, it would be nice to get an ounce a plant but i would be happy at half an ounce off each of the two, it's a budget grow as funds are tight and it's taken a year or two to get the funds and equipment and the seeds are seedstockers nl autos, oh and more crap news i'm using an old phone cam for pics so not great quality (i don't want anything on my proper phone cam)

hopefully the taproot will be showing tomoro and we can get this grow going
cheers

[Easy-T]

Have a good grow, I'm sure you'll be sorted once M_C schooled you [emoji106]

Thanks m8 fingers crossed

[riot]

Best of luck mate!

[scorpion]

Cheers m8 I usually would say I’ll need it but I’m learning from the best lol

[scorpion]

i've planted them now just hope i didn't water the pots too much first but no water came out the bottom so should be good, when i planted them the taproots were more to the side than pointing down but there's no way i was digging them out and risking damaging them

first pic is of the growdrobe just ignore the cfl though and the second is just after planting with the domes on
cheers

[scorpion]

don't mean to sound stupid M_C but is there a specific type of epsom salt i should be looking for or just unscented lol

[M_C]

don't mean to sound stupid M_C but is there a specific type of epsom salt i should be looking for or just unscented lol

Yeah, the unscented stuff... but let's wait & see if we need any yet. Whilst I know the stuff is about a quid a pot it'll last years as you need so little (when you do need it!)

This is the one I've been using for the last 7/8 year.....

https://images-cdn.azureedge.net/azure/lulu-resources/fc211e9f-cffc-4ad2-88fb-99bc9faf96e1/Images/ProductImages/Source/26867-01.jpg

In fact, stuff that, if you need any, I'll drop some in the post to you (make sure you have a safe address... I know Epsom is all above board but always use a safe address!)

[scorpion]

Lol nah it’s right thanks m8 I can manage a quid cheers, i appreciate it though

[M_C]

Hold the money to one side then as if you don't need it then that's an extra quid in your pocket :laugh:

Out of interest, your tap water, is it hard or soft?

[scorpion]

Ok niceone m8, don’t mean to sound thick but how do I find out lmao

[M_C]

Ok niceone m8, don’t mean to sound thick but how do I find out lmao

No problem, how else would you know the answer! I have no issue with questions, as is often said, the only stupid question is the question that is never asked!

I've asked plenty in the past - and I still often do if I am unsure :)

[IceCalibur]

Fantastic M_C!...nice one for coming out of retirement to help him..really glad you're not jacking it all in skunkblast!

Subbed up! :cool:

Cheers m8 that’s a good saying, from looking on google I would say it’s hard water, looks s**t and tastes s**t lol

[scorpion]

Ignore the last post, after googling and typing in my postcode it’s soft water
Cheers

[scorpion]

Checked earlier and there not showing yet
The temp is 20.8C
And the humidity which I’m happy about is 74%

And meant to say last post the water hardness Clarke is 2.52 whatever that means lol

[M_C]

That'll all change when the lights & fan are on :)

Yes I thought M8 but it’s still progress it’s never seen 74 Rh in there lol, this is what I don’t understand m8 I thought the hotter it is the higher the humidity would be, is that wrong and is the water better being soft or hard
Cheers

[M_C]

Humidity is a strange thing mate, I can never figure it out :(

Hard or soft water? somewhere in the middle TBH! Stupidly soft water can promote cal/mag issues but stupidly hard water comes with it's own problems...

As an example I have tap water 5.5 EC which is great... Ironman's tap water is over 8 EC! He's better diluting the water with some bottled water to bring down the EC

Ok m8 how would I find my ec out or does it not matter
Cheers

[M_C]

It doesn't overly matter as you'd need an EC meter... how often limescale builds in your kettle is a near enough measurement for soil growers lol

[scorpion]

Ok niceone and very rare it’s there over months and months I reckon
Cheers

[scorpion]

Think I mentioned before M_C but am I going to be ok in the future turning the lights off for watering and pictures as my window block is a mission to put up and down lol

No problem with that, I often take my plants out for photo shoots & watering &, if It's going to be more than a few minutes, I turn the light off too just to save some pennies :)

[scorpion]

Ok niceone m8

[Greengrass]

Hi skunky and Mc what's the height you start your mars 300 at above the seedlings?
Giving a little advice to ibsey as he's struggling a bit with seedlings dying early, I'm using MH so I've no idea on led setup but I get the idea leds can be a bit harsh if not set right
Cheers

[scorpion]

hi'ya m8 the recommended heights in my mars book are

germination 24-30"
seedling 24"
veg 18-24"
flower 12-18"

at the minute my lights aren't on m8
i have tried to grow a few with this light m8 but because of my height i could only hang it from 23 and half inch and that seemed ok but as i said i messed the plants up lol, and i don't know crap about growing hence the main man mentoring me, but to be honest 2 died coz they had helmets left on the seed but my other 2 did get to 21 days and 28 days so i think they got through the seedling stage ok

i've got some pics and can upload them so you can have a look at them if you want the quality isn't great but could give you an idea
cheers

[scorpion]

We have signs of life now they are just poking out the soil, no point putting a pic on coz you can't see shit as they are tiny and the quality of my cam is crap lol
cheers

[Easy-T]

When I've used the Mars I start at 28" then just leave at that, they grow in to it, till Flowering then keep em at 12" till harvest

yes sorry m8 thought you seen it further up i'll put them on now, would you suggest lights on 24/7 or another m8, not fussed about saving the pennies as it doesn't take that much m8

Funnily enough, I had seen the post but it just didn't register :(

24/0 is fine, that's what I tend to run my autos on unless the weather gets too warm & then I'll arrange some lights off time during the warmer parts of the day :)

lol niceone m8 the soil still feels moist so i take it that means no watering yet lol and should the domes have been sprayed inside or not
cheers m8

Stand right back from that water! No watering & no spraying the insides of the domes either!

this is the bit a lot fuck up on its all watering technique M_C will sort that lol :)

[M_C]

To save you asking again it'll probably be about a week before we water again...

In the meantime, lift your pots & feel how heavy they are... we will be waiting for them to be a lot lighter before we water again ;)

[M_C]

Were you about when Wassat was here? He used to think I left it always too long... but that's one of the reasons that my plants were better ;)

A shame, you would have got on well with him... his only trouble was he was such a bad loser at comps that he banned himself from entering them!

But I think one time I ran the pots for nearly a fortnight before watering... the soil was shrinking from the sides of the pot & Wassat was doing his nut about it LOL

[scorpion]

i really did m8 i was watering them a bit everyday, no wonder i killed them lol

Cannabis, along with most plants, doesn't like wet feet ;)

[scorpion]

just a quick update they are looking ok but one still has the seed on it but it's split in half, it should come off on it's own shouldn't it, anyway the soil feels a bit dry but that's just the top bit and don't worry M_C no water has been near it lmao

the temp is 23.1c and the humidity is 42%

i forgot to lift the pots the other day like an idiot so would it be ok to do that after next watering m8
cheers

[M_C]

LOL Check the pot weights now... it's to try & get you used to the weight :)

The other shell should fall off by itself. If it's still attached tomorrow let me know & we'll take a better look :)

[scorpion]

just checked them and that bastard still has the helmet on, i tried seeing if it would come off carefully but it's a no go, i haven't any experience with growing but one thing i have noticed and i'm not sure if it's this strain or what but 3 out of the 4 seedstockers northern lights i've germed have been like this with the helmet left on but 2 other strains have had no probs so who knows

temp is 24c and humidity is 43
cheers

[M_C]

Get a small drop of water on the tip of your finger & touch it on the top of the shell so it transfers & put the dome back on :)

will do now m8 niceone

[scorpion]

Just checked them m8 and they seem ok, I carefully got the seed off the other one but it looks a bit deformed and the top part of the soil seems very dry but a couple of inches down seems pretty moist still and they still feel pretty heavy

[M_C]

LOL - I see you are itching to do something ;) - make yourself a brew & watch them grow ;)

Glad the seed case is off as it's things like that which stress new growers... the older growers know it'll come off sooner or later or just take it off if they feel that way inclined ;) Wouldn't worry about the shapes of things at this point as, if there were anything to look odd, it would be at this point ;)

[scorpion]

Lol I’m just staying away from them lol

[scorpion]

I’ve got a problem people my oscillating fan has broke but I can’t get down to town to swap it till tomorrow or Wednesday, do yus think with them still being a few days old and under the dome they will be ok till then, this is the second bastard one to break within a few weeks of use
Cheers

[M_C]

That'll be fine mate, they have domes on them at the moment so it won't make any difference :)

...sorry about the late reply, I should get instant notifications for this thread but it's only just come through :(

[scorpion]

ok niceone m8 and no probs i thought u would be busy anyway m8

great minds think alike i took some pics of them earlier but like an idiot i deleted the ones of the deformed one and can't get them back but here's two of the better one

Yeah. Often soil can be a little hot (nitrogen heavy) for younger plants... but, like I said, they'll cope much better when they grow a little.... it's nothing to worry about :)

cheers

the second pic is the deformed one

Go on then since you've been good, I'll let you put 1/2L (500ml) into each ;) - They won't really need it but it'll keep you feeling that you're doing something :)

Chuck a pic up tomorrow & we'll make a decision based on that :)

We can take the domes off now, it'll be fine :)

How are you coping with the warmer weather? Are the temps still staying reasonable?

[scorpion]

niceone i'll take them off shortly

I meant to post them sorry m8 temp was 27c and humidity was 45%

what temps shouldn't it be getting over m8
cheers

[M_C]

That's pretty impressive on the temps, if you look around many people have been having problems today :)

I like to keep my grow room at about 26... it often goes over that but that is what I aim for...

Top temps? Always trying to keep below 30 but I've had 38c once (& high humidity... then bud rot!) but you're spot on where you are :)

[scorpion]

niceone i reckon with that cfl in there it would be alot higher
cheers

[scorpion]

when u said about the soil being a bit hot for them is that why the leaves are a lighter green around the edges m8
cheers

[scorpion]

27.8c now m8 do u think I should carry on leaving the room door open, I only closed it so the chopper wouldn’t see warm air going out of it or u reckon not lol

quick update, a couple of crap pics of them both, i bought a cheap 16 mp camera that will hopefully be here by monday, the first 2 are of the good one and the other 2 of the slow starter they are looking ok apart from that light green around the leaf which you can't see proper coz of this pile of shit camera i'm using

quick update they are both getting on ok still and i think making the light higher has stopped the newer leaves getting that green on them m8, they are lighter green a little bit but that was before i made it higher, they are feeling a bit light as well m8, temp and rh were 25.1c and 40% when i checked earlier

the first 2 are the ok one and the second 2 are the one that got stumped a bit coz of the seed helmet

i agree they are looking better m8 and yes i was thinking earlier on how much i would have flooded the poor bastards lol, just got to remember after watering tomoro to pick them up to gauge the weight, and the new camera will be here soon although it's not been posted yet, thank god for mentors and thank God for M_C lol, i'm going to sound an idiot now but when watering them i know not to do it over the leaves but should i be doing it in the middle and moving to the outside or just around the outside
cheers m8

[M_C]

Water the soil (easiest way of putting it) - I just tend to drench them as in just keep adding the water until it threatens to over flow... let it sink in & then go at it again until done :)

I don't expect there to be any run off but let me know if there is...

sound m8 there was a bit last time but nothing major and don't forget they are fabric pots, my camera should be here soon it's only a 12 megapixel but i think it should be better than the 5 mp one i'm using now
cheers

[scorpion]

little update, i watered them earlier but i took a few pics before with the new camera it's pretty decent anyway ignore the date on them i set the camera to august instead of july lol, there was quite a bit of runoff but mainly out the sides m8

as usual the good one is first, then the stumped one and then the top of both cheers

If I say so myself, they look great :)

The water sounds like if was just finding the easy rout out :( Next time try watering a little slower so that it gets better absorbed into the soil :) However, I assume the pots are heavy again?

They do that m8 thanks to you stopping me swamping them lmao and funny you say that as I did pour it faster this time, I know for next time and yes they have gone a bit heavier, I’ll try and get some better pics next time, still trying to figure the best setting
Cheers

[M_C]

At this stage watering can be a little tricky as the top of the soil 'crusts' & doesn't absorb water too well to begin with :(

few pics from earlier, can't remember if the temp was 25.7 or 26.7 lol, the humidity was 47% and the plants are looking good, i'm sure they've bushed up more since the last pics, i couldn't smell anything earlier when i checked on them but i got a bit of a smell the other day, the soil is pretty dry on top and the first couple of inches down
cheers

What we will do (tomorrow!) is give them both 1/2L of water. But we want to do this slowly as we want the water to sink into the soil. Best way to do this is in mini stages of around 10-50ml at a time. We want the water to pool on top of the soil to sink in rather then running off the top & down the sides. Wait until the water has fully absorbed before adding more, it'll take a little time ;)

Everything else is looking tickety-boo :)

ok niceone m8

[M_C]

The idea is to rehydrate the soil ;)

We are getting close to flowering (it may already have started?) So now is the time we make sure that we are ready...

So, so far, you have seen just how little water we need for the first few weeks of an autos life ;) - You won't make the same mistakes again! Myself, I'd rather they wilted then were over watered as wilting is so much easier to sort :)

Next thing that will happen is they will start to stretch. Are we going to have enough height, or should we start thinking about some LST?

[scorpion]

Sorry m8 just seen the reply, I watered them earlier and only a couple of drops came out the side, I think we will defo have enough height m8, not sure if you still want me to do the lst, I would like to learn but don’t want to mess it up lol
Cheers

What we will do is wait for the stretch to start & we can have a bit play to keep the height down so be prepared with string, scissors & a way of tying off ;) but we can always get inventive ;)

[scorpion]

ok sound m8 can i not make holes right at the top of the pots and tie them m8, i had a quick check of them earlier m8 and they looked really good the temp was 26c and the humidity was 40%
cheers

Your humidity is holding well :)

cheers

[scorpion]

little update, M_C they are looking great m8 i couldn't believe it when i opened the growdrobe they have shot up and the stumped one is now the biggest and bushiest lol, they are feeling light m8 even 3-4 inch down in the soil and speaking of soil it has shrunk quite a bit in the pot, i said when i opened the growdrobe as i only open it to water them or take some pics, i just normally check them through a hole at the top of the drobe so i don't have to be turning the light off and taking the lightblock off the front of it, am i mean should i be opening it and checking them proper everyday or what lol just waffling coz i've had a smoke, anyway here's the pics
cheers

374106 374107 374108 374109 374110

[M_C]

OK, we have some stretch going :)

What we want to do is tie down the lead tip.... or the main stem (however you want to call things)

So Tie the top of the lead stem & pull it down so that it is about the same height as the next branches & tie it off... job done :)

They'll start to drink more water now so let's slowly add a liter each (like last time) & see if there is any run off :)

[scorpion]

Cheers m8 I’ll do it shortly and take some pics after to make sure it’s right, they’ve really grown in the last few days the pics don’t do them any justice
Cheers

[scorpion]

I don’t want to sound stupid m8 but I don’t suppose you’ve got a pic or link showing where to tie it on the plant, I’ve looked on google and there’s all different places
Cheers

[M_C]

LOL - TBH it doesn't overly matter so long as you can pull the branch down with not too much force... hand on, I'll get a drawing....

From here on in you'll find the plants will need more & more water (that's why I've had you checking the weight - so you know!) & at the back end then every day watering is a possibility!So we are moving from little water needs to large water needs. You've spent the last couple of weeks moving to this point... I just didn't bore you with the details of things... but you have been growing the rooting system as much as the leaves and due to the way we have been restrictive with the water, we have also increased root growth as the plant produces bigger roots in search of water - before, you were just drowning them :(

I've just reread that... I think I'm stoned :)

My goal would be this line.... but nothing is set in stone :)

It's just steady steps mate, never try & rush your plants, you can't... but rushing it is where faults happen.

At the start, watering too often is the issue.
At around the place you are the over feeding is the issue...
& then people want to chop early (FFS!) - talking about chopping, do you have a magnifying glass to look at the trichs? (you won't need one for a few weeks though)

Hmmm... they shouldn't be thirsty just yet but let's add some water. Let's start at 1L a plant & if we only get very minimal - or no run off, let's do another liter per plant... then give them about an hour & they should perk up a bit :)

...oh, before you ask, yes we will be feeding them but they don't need it yet :)

[scorpion]

I don’t know m8 it’s whatever u think it was a guess for me, I didn’t mention food coz I knew u would when the time came m8

It's not a bad time to be adding water, as I said previously, we need to hydrate....

But, TBH, I'm seeing no real issue with the pics... plants do this often just to annoy us :laugh:

Shit just thought if links are not allowed can someone take it off thanks

I had a quick look on there just for an idea and someone said it could be from nutrients or water burn or something, anyway if you reckon it could be caused by water spill it could defo be that coz drops do drop all over when I’m watering them lol

This is most strange, I should get instant notifications on new posts in this thread but I'm not getting them :( - I'm sure it was BB who said he was having problems with tapa (the phone app :laugh:) giving notifications from the mentored grow section... Ho hum, something else to look at :(

[scorpion]

lol i don't think they are enjoying the hot weather today m8 it's been 31c in there today at times here's a couple of pics

I had to turn the lights off last night and switched them back on this morning as it got to 32c in there,just hope I’ve not put them behind by doing it

[M_C]

If the pots are light, don't be afraid to water them as they'll likely get through some with the higher temps :(

[scorpion]

Lol I was waiting for instructions m8

[M_C]

So long as you can tell me the pots were light then I am happy for you to take the initiative :) - Just mention if you do :)

[scorpion]

I did lol yesterday or the day before m8 but I wrote other shit as well, I thought it was me being too eager to water as usual lol
How much a litre each ?

Just clocked u meant let u know if I water them I thought u meant if I thought they were light lol ignore me m8

[M_C]

From now on, get used to watering them to get 10% run off :)

[scorpion]

Don’t mean to sound thick but what amount should I start with m8

[M_C]

I'd make 1L a pot a starting point & add as required if there is insufficient run off :)

[scorpion]

watered them m8 and looking at the pics before i think they needed it but maybe wrong, the good/big one had 1.5 litre and had 10% runoff but the stumped smaller one had 1.8-9 litres to get roughly 10% runoff i forgot that one coz i was adding the 300-400 at 100 a time lol, i knew the runoff roughly coz i worked it out and poured the runoff into a jug to make sure lol

here's the before watering pics and i'll get a few after ones in a few hours to see if we can see the difference, not sure if it's possible but i'm sure they perk up within about 10 minutes of being watered, and some of the lowest leaves are turning yellow/brown looking like there dying

i wasn't wrong they've perked right up since watering

At this point the heat isn't of over worry to us but if it were later in the grow we would be worrying as heat spikes like we have had often raise the humidity :(

The Loupe I have is like Ebay item 163687745302 :)

374433 374434 374435

Yeah, not looking too shabby, are they? We may tie down again if the start getting much taller :)

[scorpion]

ok sound m8 and that's the loupe i was looking at funny enough

[scorpion]

i checked them earlier and they are doing good i think lol, the temp was 27c and the rh was 47% they felt lightish so going off the weight and the look i think they will need some tomoro but see what you think m8, here's a few pics i took earlier i think the one on the right is starting to flower is that right?

[M_C]

This is good, you are now thinking & checking before adding water - nice one :)

Yeah the one on the right is crowning well, the left one looks like it is also flowering but a little behind its sister :)

[scorpion]

I’ve got a good teacher Cheers m8

[scorpion]

I’m going to water them soon m8 am I doing the same again watering them till there’s 10% runoff cheers

[M_C]

Sounds good to me :)

Don't forget to check your weights first... and after!

[scorpion]

I did do m8 and the bigger one ended up having roughly 1.7 and the other roughly 1.5 to get 10% runoff, the temp was 24 and the rh was 46 cheers

[scorpion]

I was thinking next time I might use some luggage scales to get the weights before and after lol

[M_C]

Trust me, you don't need any such thing... you'll find out more about that as flowering progresses.

[scorpion]

few pics i took earlier, some of the lower leaves are dying off you can see one of them on the third pic bottom right, they look pretty good but i'm not sure how they should be looking at this point lol, still feeling heavy from the water yesterday

[scorpion]

Cheers m8 my last two grows (I tried to do) the longest one got to was 28 days lol so I’m buzzing that they have got to this point

374502 374503 374505 374504

Yeah, they're fine, it's a combination of lack of light & leaf damage from when the soil was hot. Nothing at all to worry about :)

[scorpion]

Ok Niceone m8

[scorpion]

quick update, i checked on them earlier and they are looking pretty good, think they will need watering again tomoro from the weight, what do you think m8, obviously ignore the date the bastard camera froze so i had to take the battery out but forgot to change the time and date

meant to ask what week i'll be needing the loupe for cheers

This is great, you are getting the hang of this... don't water until you need too :)

Cannabis does well with a wet/dry cycle but hates 'damp feet' - that was the main area that you were going wrong in before & why I have been trying to entrench it in your mind... and I think it's sticking :)

Don't fuss about cam dates, I don't notice them ;)

You'll want that for us to know when to chop, so the back end of flowering is when it'll be required... unless you like to watch things progressing ;)
