New Grower 2nd auto grow - autoflower 3 strain scrog - back in the closet again

[Otto]

i finally got my medicine box moved back into a closet! i love closets they are like grow cabinets built right in to houses. the strains are, on the left in the screen, supersonic crystal storm, right in the screen, shot adrenaline, bottom right, white cheese auto, bottom left, shot adrenaline. the two biggest ones are 39 days since planting and the white cheese is 28 days in. the smaller shot adrenaline is a little younger than that.

the screen is set at an angle so i can reach all four pots to water them. a five gallon bucket placed underneath the shelf catches all the runoff when it's watering time. the bucket is removed after watering. the soil is all organic with this and that in it.

i intentionally left the leaves and lower buds on. i know this seems contrary to the usual scrog sop but i figured i'm going through the process of growing organic so why waste all those nutrients and other goodness that the plant will take back up from the leaves and buds. i figure this will give me a good boost in flowering above what the soil will provide. i've got the leaves tucked away to get light to the buds i want to encourage into the screen and then i'm leading them into slots as the branches grow, which is pretty rapid. yesterday the cheese didnt reach the screen and tonight it's top is about to go into a square.


lighting is 18/6 with a 400 w cmh

It looks like you spilled some of your cocain in the pots,does that make the weed grow faster?

.........@namvet

Im guessing sand for maybe a gnat issue.

Sweet setup Otto!! Ladies are looking happy and healthy.

Welcome to AFN :smokebuds:

thanks guys! and namvet, cocaine would be useless against gnats plutonium niborg is what i would go with if i had any in-pocket.

i love these autos, i really like being able to run any sort of light schedule i might need without frakking them up. my last crop didn't yield quite enough i'm still about a month short of a grow to grow stash but that was with miracle grow and scott's potting soil and now i have all organic soil and homemade compost tea for them so i hope to get some better buds than last time.

i'm hoping to move up from the HID and replace it with this in the near future

Outstanding bro, very glad to hear you've converted to organics and teas!! Just wait til you smoke your first organically grown bud!!

tooo roghit! :dance2: :smokebuds:


great job Otto! Plus rep!

 

[Otto]

thanks JM! yeah i'm lookin' forward to it, i grew one plant organic last time and the bud was great but not much on the taste but i think i cut it down too early plus i had to use it soon after cutting so i haven't really tasted a good finished organic one like these will all be. next grow i think i will go up to about ten plants in smaller pots as i need a lot of variety or the meds don't work like they should. even with four strains over ten weeks they all get old. my plan is to get some small airpots and put one plant in each week until it's time to harvest the first so i can get a perpetual going with autos. for a min. i thought i would go back to photos since it's in the closet again but the more i think about it the more i like autos.
