how are you going to do 12/12 for the 2 in there currently and do autoflowers at the same time? aren't AF's like 18/6 or 20/4 all the time??

Yep that's what the word is. They say that some strains like 18/6 or 20/4 all the way through. Only a couple strains i found from Greenhouse Seeds do well with 18/6 and 12/12.What happen was the wrong strain got germinated lol. So these ones unfortunately are going to get a little bit torture tested. I talked with a bunch of other guys on a site specific to autos. Lots of them told me that it can be done under 12/12. But the yields will be small. They said that if i veg under the 20/4 and move to flower at 12/12 then they will ok. So that's what there vegging at right now. Under that little 110w. On a side note what you don't see in that pic is 3 other plants in that tent that have tomatoes and green/red peppers. I am still shocked cause that little light is seeming to handle all 6 planters at 18 inches above.

At the same time i cant seem to find a really good feeding chart for them. Theres lots out there but i figured that these ones will have to go through some experimentation so i can figure out the next ones. Sucks tho cause i would of liked to see there full potential. But at the same time the tent there sitting in will be converted to my dark tent/ Drying tent. So they will have to endure from there on in the 12/12. Who knows tho. With the 840w Flowering now. Maybe they wont turn out as bad as i am thinking.

What ever i decide to plant next will have fun tho under 950w of pure led vegging power!

Well its that time again this week! Feeding time here for all the lovely ladies ! The Red Poisons are doing well ! Despite only vegging them with the SF110W i am still very surprised. There all standing about 2 " and see very happy sitting in the Sunshine Mix. I did hit them with the FF Nutes however. I cut down the measurements and now i guess its sit back and see it they grow or i hurt them. I guess time will tell.

Berry Bomb is showing a few leaves with rust spots on her. I know that its more then likely Nutes problem. However I did do a lot of reading on Berry Bombs and lots of growers who had grown then tend to say that they are a bit finicky when it comes to nutrients. Berry is standing at 20 " now and flowering like crazy

Skywalker is just growing.... Shes standing in at 24 inches right now and starting to flower now. The Temps in the tent are sitting around the 24c / 75 f mark. The humidity is around the 45-50%. They both got there FF Chart feeding Week #8 which i am excited on cause its the first time i get to use Fox Farm Bembe ! and as far as i know. I am the only one at the moment that has it. i could very well be wrong about that tho.

Anyway with much research and talking with rkymtnman i decided to flip on all the UVB and see what happens. At precaution i have both lights up above them at 18".

Well here we go again with week #9 on the FF feed chart. Things are going pretty normal except i did have a bit of problems mid week. When i turned on the UVB both plants kinda seemed to have a bit of a problem at first with it. I did end up giving both of them there normal mid week watering and a very very healthy shot of cal/mag and that seemed to perk them right back up. I have noticed tho weather its due to them flowering or the UVB they seem to be drinking water like crazy all of a sudden. i went from a good feeding every Sunday to a mid week watering and now its almost if i have to feed and water 2 times thought the week.

Skywalker is starting to flower nicely. Standing in at 27 inches shes finally starting to get some nice flowers on her.
Berry however is just a moving along. Standing in at 22 inches but flowering for all heck! I have noticed that only a couple buds and i mean only a very few the hairs have started to turn red. I am a bit confused at this cause it seems to be only certain ones more on her bottom side then top. But on the long run i have a feeling that she will be ready to start flushing in about 3 weeks time! both are smelling sooooo good to! One thing i have noticed on both is after one week of the UVB Bulbs being turned on there is a crazy amount for crystal production going on. The fan leaves off the buds on berry are starting to get very coated !

And last but not least my Red Poison autos! There roughly around 2 weeks old now and are showing no signs of any problems. I did hit them with quit a dosing of nutes and they seem to love it! They shot a extra half inch in a day and a half !

looking good!

so translate your ff week number into days in 12/12 if you don't mind.

the autos are looking nice too. they are 2 weeks from germination?

you should be heading for a killer harvest.

So for the 12/12 it would be 35 days in to flower. Berry Bomb tho its kinda mixed on which site you visit. One site says 8-9 weeks another says 7-8 and Bomb Seeds site say 6-8 lol so what i am thinking is it will be a full 8 weeks. Skywalker no matter what iam thinking will be 1-2 weeks behind Berry.

As for the autos. Well they been sitting in there pots for 2 weeks now. There going on to there 2 week tomorrow. Yea there only 1 weeks from germ. They grow like crazy! I am starting to like the autos. I talked with another fellow who grew this strain and his looked great ! He told me that he got just over 1 oz of one plant. And the color that there were is awesome

I stuck my head in to my Auto tent and i had to post these pics. The little 110w that i bought i just about sent it back. Keeping in mind i wanted something little to start my veg cycles out. And i was pretty sure that the 220w would of been alot better then that thing. When i stuck my head in to the tent i a can say that iam more then impressed with it. So are all 3 autos and my tomatoes and peas and red and green peppers along with the cucumbers , radishes and basil and rosemary!! lol yep all in a 3x3 tent.

All 3 autos are the same strain. Its kinda hard to see but the one auto in the back seems like shes in it to win it! Compared to the other two shes very fat already

SOOO quick question. On my berry bomb the lower buds some of the stigmas have turned orange. So i pulled out my little microscope and took a look. I can say that i see about maybe 5 % amber tiches on some of the lower branches but on the upper its about a 40% clear to 60% milky. Good time to start flushing ? The calyx on the plans dont seem very swollen yet tho

I don't do much flushing, I don't like to starve my plants at the end. It's up to you though... ;)
