Fast Buds American Autoflowers with A-Train

[Eyeoftheworld]

@Eyeoftheworld it's the first time I added extra. I usually just use general organics cal/mag liquid but since going to LED then the super powerful LED I'm having to find additional ways to suppliment.

I went for the lime for the added cal mag so I didn't use as much liquid calmag and also because I know it would help keep the ph of my medium stable and allow for healthy plants over the entire grow.


Whats up @Pitched tent I'm far from a pro but we can Def grow and show at the end lol. What size pots are you using ?

My soil has dolomite added to it already. I used it last time also and it worked well for ph. I hadn't realized before today that it was also a source of Cal/Mag. What I added this time is a powder containing soft rock phosphate, volcanic rock powder, raw humates, and powdered seaweed.

I have some Photo's in 5s may use them for my next run to see how they go. Have some 2gal Air pots on order to try out on clones or smaller autos before I invest in larger sizes.

Damn I just realized I'm late on starting the feeds for WCOG and GSC.... I'll give them 1/2 liter each this a.m with proper feed

months ago i decided to try my hand at a indoor grow. having been a outdoor outlaw for years the insects,critters,thieves, johnny law had taken their toll. researching indoor grows I came across a blueprint and a variety that i had never heard of, the autoflower.Im on day 50 and the blueprint that built the foundation of this first autogrow is rock solid.I spent much of my time reading cause most of the questions I could have asked the answers were already there all one has to do is the research. so a shout out to A-train I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Thanx for your service and sharing a hobby that many of us love. HillbillyDeville

You got it man. WELCOME TO AFN. And a big thanks to you for putting in the extra effort. We as mods and Globals and HT or the AFN community in general never mind answering any questions BUT..... BUT... BUT.... lol....all the answers are already there. A lazy day on the couch reading the pages of afn will go a LONG way...

@hillbillydeville I'm glad you found something special in these autos. They have came a LONG LONG way and for speedy indoor grows there's nothing better. And the potency these days I'd right there with most photo strains.

(Mephisto is better lol)

I'm not sure how quickly it would be available to the plants.. maybe @Eyes on Fire could take a look and give some input as he knows a thing or two..

I use dolomite as a slow release source of calcium and magnesium ions in my soil mix, together with epsom salt and food grade silica powder.

 

[A-Train]

I use silica as well but I'm yet to use epsom

 

[Eyeoftheworld]

I also use silica. I haven't tried any epsom salts though. @Dr. Babnik are you still having to supplement the cal/mag throughout your grow or are you mixing it into your medium at the start? @A-Train when do you first apply silica? I gave mine a very weak dose of silica and Cal/mag on day 6 this time to get it going...
