Day 38 for the plants in my larger tent (2'X4'X7') except the plant on the left which popped four days after the other two and had one of it's two first leaves damaged. The plants are 27 inches (first pic), 16 inches (right) and 14 inches (left). Vertical growth is slowing and some resin is just starting to show. I can't explain why the center plant took off like a raped ape through the jungle but there it is. I will hit them all with sledgehammer and switch to bloom nutes during the next week or so. I included a pic (last) of the plant in my smaller tent under the old mars 100X3 at day 39 for fun. I don't think much can be learned because of how differently each plant is growing in the larger tent.

Everything seems to be going well, the three plants in the larger tent are ready to switch to bloom. I have changed the T5's to "pure bloom" bulbs and lowered the leds. The largest (29in) got a gallon of 10ml sledgehammer at 6.2ph followed by a gallon of 15ml big bloom, 5ml tiger bloom, 5ml kangaroots, 5ml microbrew and 1/8tsp beastie bloomz at 6.3ph. The plant in the middle (first pic) isn't ready today but will get the same in a day or so. The plant on the end is still growing and won't get bloom nutes for another week. The plant in my smaller tent (last two pics) is now getting plain water and the buds are getting some nice amber in the buds.

Nice work VG ...

Today is day 69 for the plant in the smaller tent (first three pics), I have been removing a handful of leaves each day to get more light to the interior buds. Harvest will be this Saturday and it looks like she will be a good producer and a good smoke. Auto Seeds said the plants would be 20-24 inches tall and three of the four plants met or exceeded this claim. The smallest is almost 18 inches (pic 9), next is 22 inches (pic 3), plant on far right (pic 4) is 26 inches and the tallest is almost 30 inches. The two plants in the last pic were planted on the same day and came up on the same day. This is the only issue I have with autos, I never know what will happen. I love/hate it. My feeding schedule seems to be working well, no cal/mag issues and growth and bud development has been good. I think I will add one of the new Fox Farm products to my feeding schedule, "Kelp me kelp you" looks good to me.

Great to hear from you. I remember when I first started growing and I screwed up and was ready to quit. Your help and advice helped me stay in the game. This will be my fourth year growing and I hope to get my degree soon. I was looking over my first grow, five plants with 145gr total yield, thank you and AFN. I hope the Fox Farm feeding schedule for autos I have been trying helps others. So far with careful control of ph and a cal/mag supplement every strain I have tried it with has worked.

Day 50 for the plant on the left, day 45 for the other. Left is 30 inches and the other is 29 inches. The plant on the right was four days late in popping and was deformed at birth and is only now showing resin and has stopped vertical growth. I am keeping an eye out for signs of a hermi but so far so good. The third plant in the tent is 18 inch and putting on the resin. The older plant in the smaller tent has been in the dark and will be ready to harvest Saturday.

Harvest for the oldest plant in the smaller (2'X3'X5') tent under the old 100X3 mars, 74 days, and she really produced. I will give a weight this Wednesday when I start curing, my guess between 2.5oz-3oz from a 22 inch plant. The buds are full and solid with a nice amount of resin, some of the side branches had some great buds (second pic).
