New Grower FreeLivin's 3rd grow- Dark Devil, Think Diff, NL Blue, THC auto bomb

[FreeLivin]

So I don't really intend on updating very frequently until there is some real action, prob 3 week mark. I do want to say I have 6 that have popped of the 7, the 7th is the Bomb Seeds THC Bomb and for whatever reason it doesn't want to come out and play, I put them in wet paper towels in a ziplock Wed, 6 popped thur and got planted, but one stubborn one. So I have 3 TDs and 3 DDs and hopefully one more, prob giving the northern light blue to a buddy since I can't do photos, so only 6, I seem to smoke way more than I grow, somethings gonna have to change.... Not off to the best start with screwing up my order and now this but I'm excited about the LEDs, and now my perpetual grow I will be starting No More Waiting
I'll get pics up in about a week, then each week till it merits more -----> Fans chanting more more


Thanks

Ok, so I'm posting cause I wanna try something, just checking my signature, oh and that damn bomb seeds thc bomb didn't pop, it's been 4 days and nothing. I have been slacking to be honest as well. I have the 6 that popped and I have just left them outside for the moment, didn't put them under fluorescent or kick on my 600w mh, obviously no need for the mh yet but yea I've just let mother nature start these off, I will put them in the room after I do a lil cleaning and installing an a/c unit to help with temps (pain in the ass window unit that has to have 2x4 supporting built and a hole made in the board making up the wall per say) that should be done today if I don't get too lazy. Hopefully just a week left before my leds are in, I'm excited.
Ok that's all for now

Hello, I am roughly a week into this grow, I have been a slack F*ck as of late, I have an old a/c unit I was supposed to put in days ago, well after two trips to homedepot cause I'm an forgetful idiot and a couple days posturing I finally installed it yesterday, that mostly cause we had a heavy rain and although they weren't in it for long they were kinda flattened, they needed 24/0 light anyway and some support, so I kicked on the mh finally, I am still waiting for the LEDs although I don't expect them for another 5 days at least.
Anyway here are a couple pics, the newly installed a/c unit and the 6 babies- forgive the mess and the wires, I've yet to organize them, prob a nice fire hazzard..
I also ordered 2- 26w UVB bulbs I'll use during flowering
And for Trap- I ordered some cal/mag, only so I know specifically how much is being given, I didn't like the epsom salt too much either
And lastly I ordered a soil ph meter not the accurate 8, all the ones or what were referred to by that name had 50/50 reviews so I went with Rapitest 1835 Luster Leaf Digital 3-Way Soil Analyzer

Hope it works well

Thanks

Ok, so quick update. It's day 11 and things are looking alright, maybe a lil small, at least 1 is, she is very small actually and no specific reason that I know of. I have noticed a difference in how quickly the soil dries in different pots. I don't have much else to say, I am happy however about my current temps, since I installed the a/c unit things have been nice unlike my temps before hitting 90-95 on hot days and no less than 82 any other time even night. so
alright here is a pic or two but not much to show, and I only included one pic of the one TD and one pic of the very small DD, they're all about the same size except the one DD. Maybe I'm just not a good dad....

Hey FL, love the set up!! And you ARE a good Dad!! Your wee one will catch up!! Wait until they get a few nodes and they will pick up more light and take off!! The Rapitest is a good meter too! You got this man, so I am going to sit in the corner and watch you blow these babies up!!"Munch..munch..munch

Morning FL,

Looking good, glad to hear you re giving them some more light. You may want to consider 20/4 light schedule. Autos seem to like a little dark time.

When you get your LED's most folks find they need to give extra cal/mag.

Morning to you to Oldster, thanks for stoppin by. Ironically I did a post in the "what's the best light cycle for autos" thread and was one of the ones who posted some scientific info that most plants if not all need a dark period and why, I just do 24/0 the first couple weeks in veg then I switch to an 18/6, I've noticed it helps a lil bit when they're young like that, least for me..
Also thanks for the warning about the cal/mag. I am already aware of that potential issue and have my cal/mag ready to go, I was using a combo of things previous, between the tap water/epsom salt/ & molasses I was good but wanted to be able to precisely measure my amounts with the LEDs so I don't have any issues with build up, seems the epsom salt can be touchy to some strains..

Hopefully 2 more days till LEDs
Also I have some CS on order and will be running a test on two clones I take from each and making feminized auto seeds of each, I am very excited to be attempting this since as most know seeds can be expensive. Next will be cross breeding... so excited

that's all for now, thanks
