quick intro from an expat stuck in new zealand where the hydro is scarce ! grown good old blue cheese in europe old school in pots not much nuts a all, real clean real strong. ( after a decade of the usual teething issues, spider mites temp humidity control etc )
i got sick of moaning about the green here and thought id try to set up again. not wanting to be drawn into the 18 week gamble all over again in a different climate I took some advice from a fire who said autos have come on leaps and bounds since the days of one bud stems !
i set away 2 x think different, 1 x orange kush straight into huge pot, beautiful soil mix. 1x think diff had a rough start and had to be replaced, ( now by a sour orange diesel kush ) . the first TD is like superman and is sprouting its fourth set of leaves as we speak. the original orange kush is steady away with its first set sprouted nicely just waiting for the next to show through.
I've potted the emergency SODK 3 days ago into the dark warm pot covered to keep moisture in, hopefully its tap root is diving like a whale and it'll show face up top in the next day or so.
struggling with the cold now so I've switched from a 250 hps to a 400hps, ( been on 24hr now switching to 20/4 ) its definitely helped. average temp now at 29 ish
my problem now is that the TD is about 75mm tall ( after ten days ) the O.K is about 40mm tall and obviously the SODK is yet to sprout.. am i going to have to ''pack'' the underneath of the pots with smaller plants to keep them at an even height with the light and stop the smaller ones stretching ?
Glad to be here hoping for some good tips and advice. only just read Oregon is allowing a 4 plant p/p grow thats fucking awesome ! i spent 6 months in eugene a few years ago travelling, loved the people. going back for a wedding next year so hopefully ill be able to meet some auto grow duck fans and sample some gardens!
off to tend to the babies !
