New Grower First Auto Grow by InHumboldt

[InHumboldt]

This is my first auto, a White Widow X Lowryder 1 stabilized by some breeder who is as of yet not part of this forum. I started it in a soak of 50ppm 20-15-15 ph5.5. After it sank- in a filter paper same solution. After it cracked- in a small rockwool block- after emergence I put it in a 3x3x4 inch block that I tiered the little block to. Now I'll start adding VitB to my 50ppm. I'm planning on dump to drain with Cutting Edge and Cal Mag Plus as indicated. It is first under a 50 watt Blue and White LED 1 foot square w/10mm emitters 0.5A med angle ( I scored one with 6500K whites ).

P.S.-I don't know what I'm doing---"somebody save me" (the little plant)

Looking good there Humboldt. Welcome to the AFN family.

To my pleasant surprise a second WW auto came up this morning. The first WW AF has some purpling of the stem. I always interpret this as low potassium. After I pot #2 I'll do my usual--up the feed to 100ppm 40-30-30--that is unless I get feedback that it's not the right way to treat AF marijuana seedlings.

My second WW had purple stem color so I've started the same treatment-the first WW responded with just a few cc's. I started germinating 5 Auto Assassins but only 1 has cracked and the other 4 are making me feel they aren't going to pop. I think my WW development is slow, how long should it be to see the second true leaf?

Second week, the second WW had the most disgusting purple stem this morning. I flooded the blocks with 100ppm and made up some 200ppm NPK 60-70-70 and started adding a few CCs about the second dope up I started to see greening. I moved them closer to the lights and looks like I'll close in more today. I recently switched my 40 watt blue & white LEDs for 55 watts so I being cautious.

So time for an update. I took some pictures because I know how you guys are-if it wern't for pictures you'd never so much as pick up a Playboy. The purple stem looks woody and bad now but it has been a bad time for the plant. I tried to up the feed to rejuvenate it but I nearly lost it and it is only now that I'm getting that first internode stretch that indicates to me that it is time for low dose grow. The photo shows the start of that stretch. I now have 2 White Widow Autos up-and a few AA's Just put into blocks are 2 Guerrilla Ryders, one auto ak47, and 3 Early White Widows which happen to be the same strain that Guerrilla Ryder uses.

If I have luck with getting one dwarf and one super Auto Assasin then I'll have a total of (4 different, Ak47 P1's) and 3 different White Widow P1"s
View attachment 169036 So I'll have six experimental F1 White Russian Autoflower strains as well as classic White Russian F1 to compare them to-- and that is just the autoflower hybrid part of the show.

Well my auto's are behind schedule. I have a better light coming Monday, up to now I had another Prima Donna--actualy a Prima Don that had to get all the attention. So virtually no auto-flower pre-flowers up to now is a good thing!View attachment 176540Eel River Basin OG Kush #1 headed for CA dispensaries for 2014
