Hey i am totally new to autoflowering so this will be my very first grow so to anyone that is experienced in autoflowering id appreciate some of yer advice it would be very much appreciated.
Suppose i should start with i am growing Sweet Seeds Bloody Skunk i have just germinated 2 of there seeds using the moist paper towel method took roughly 2 and a half days to gain a good enough root out of the seed and just planted them into a coco/perlite mix roughly a 60/40 ratio 13/07/15 now just waiting on the third seed to break its shell as i germed that a day later then the other 2.
For the set up of the grow drobe its 4 and a half feet in height 3 feet length 2 and a half feet in depth and just have a normal desk fan on full blast blowing onto the omega 600 watt dual spectrum bulb with a euro reflector and also have a Temp reader roughly reads between 22 degrees at lowest to 29 degrees at highest. I also have the pots up on boxes 2 feet exactly from the light with cling film on the top of 2 pots to keep humidity up. the pots range from 7.5 litre 10 litre and 12.5 litre just wanted to test run different sizes to see will there be much difference in height and yields between the 3 sizes. There is a back compartment to the grow drobe to extract heat out from the room plus the wardrobe is right beside a window for fresh air intake as i keep the doors a small bit open on the wardrobe.
Now i accidently ordered the coco mix so this is very new to me and have been up too many nights reading up on it and even though i have got some good information at the same time i still have alot of questions to ask.
I dont have specifc coco nutes what i have is Bio-bizz Root Juice, Bio-bizz Grow, Bio-bizz Bloom, Bio-Bizz Top Max, Canna Pk13-14 and Sensi`s CalMag also have a Ph reader and i know the rough ph coco is meant to thrive in. Canna Coco Pro is the mix i am using.
Suppose now since i have explained Strain Set up Mix and Nutes ill get along to my questions.
1. Since its Coco i am using do i use the nutes in every feed once per day? or alternate every other watering? I have a chart on how to use the Nutes but its for a soil medium and will start off quite lightly at first but when do i start to use them? I have flushed the medium 3 times letting it run off then to each pot i added 2ml to 1 litre of water of Root Juice to the medium.
2. Is 2 feet far enough away from the 600 watt Dual Spec bulb for the seeds? Seems the coco dries up fast so i am wondering should i just remove the boxes and leave the pots on the floor? distance then from the light to pots on the floor would be just under 3 feet.
3. Now i know i dont have the specific nutes for the Coco medium i am using but as stated above do i have enough to take me through the grow? Also is there anything missing that i should pick up?
4. When the seedlings eventually break above ground how much water should they be fed as i dont want to overdo it or overwater?
5. Since its Bloody Skunk i am going to try out anyone that has tried gowing that strain your advice and help would be very much appreciated and any tips or advice on how to grow this i would be very happy to hear from ye so this question is thrown out to anyone that has tried and conquered this variety?
Have a few pictures of the Set up of the Grow Drobe to give people a better idea of the set up. Just one picture of the pack of sweet seeds i got. I ended up getting an extra 2 seeds of it free which was handy if i do mess anything up ill have them to fall back on ha.
