New Grower Help needed??? Ask me here directly

[PrezDickie]

stitch, currently growing KVS in a 2 gallon air-pot in Organic M3 soil mix, she's under 20/4 light schedule now and only at day 10 now but still very small, (i posted link below to grow log) just wondering if this is normal growth rate for a KVS and if best method to grow is to let her go naturally or lst or FIM/top her down the road a bit, thanks in advance for any tips

First let me say its an honor to ask you a question.

If you were to start a Closet Grow with a 2x2 T5 8bulb setup.

Which of your AutoFlower Strains do you feel would do best in that situation.

What would your top 3 picks

Thanks and PLEASE stay on this forum you are great.

 

[Stitch]

thank u retrace...

well in the case of ur grow box, i personally will chose my strains basing myself on the space to grow and light regimen., I purpose small compact strains, strong rapid grow, big harvest...

#1 Kush Van Stitch
#2 Cobra
#3 White sirius

Those strains are quick and produces a lot

good luck my friend

Hi Stitch
having some really strange growth on the Santa's,have you seen this before,what am i doing wrong?could this be due to damage is the post?

Wierd looking Santa has sexed Male

Middle Santa seedling showing similar stunting to the first

Smallest Santa also showing wierd growth as well,i just dont know,low/zero nute soil,ph is 6.8

 

[Stitch]

ok dear friend...

I think this is a Ph problem

They seems to have problem with nitrogen, so please tell me What ph are u using?

 

[MrMcbud]

Hi Stitch
Soil Ph pen,6.8 at the moment.
Thanks for the help,though N too,but was afraid to fert too much too early
I previously gave the chaze a weak seagro feeding and seen an improvement in colour

So the Santa's got about a 100ml per plant seagro this morning,i will check ph tonight again.
have 2 testers so i will double check accuracy
I have PH down so i can drop nute PH before feedings and adjust that way

Holy shot I have a Santa doing this t the weird mutated leaves ....my Ph is at 6.5 and it gets 6.5 waterView attachment 127042

I thought this was a Magic ....But I See this is a Santa ....I was suppose to have it 3 inches from another but seems it grew sideways under the dirt before sprouting .....I also had helmet problems with this lil girl ....I think she has shown hairs but they sort micro ....

I have another Santa starting to move on up she getting bigger ....

Cobras of course are rocking and showing sex really fast fastest so far 16 days old ....

Hello Stich.Let me first say that you are one of my few heros!You have changed the world for the better with your work and not many people can say that.Since you know the development of modern autos better than anyone,I was hoping to find out how this major genectic flaw got built into these strains. I am talking about the fact that for the first two weeks they act like hothouse orcids.Both parent stocks are very hardy at this age and can out compete other weeds for light and water. Think how the rudiralis needs no human intervention to start outside and photos are pretty tough also. Yet when bred together they produce offspring that must be babied for two weeks, and ANY small problem stunts them so much it is better to throw them away and start again.I grow outside and am doing a run of autos and photos where every thing is the same, soil,light,water and everything excect I had to start the autos inside. To make it fair I mixed both breeds with the indoor setup even though I could have started the photos in the bed.The first group of 18 had no problems and right now are neck and neck in the field. The second group at one week in the nursary got overheated when a sketch book covered the air intake. They quickly needed water and I forgot to adjust the ph and hurt them even more.Yet at the same time the photos in this room took the licking and keep going.This weakness can only be seen as a genectic flaw. Any trait that can be measured can be made stronger or weaker in future generations. So either this has not been an issue if you are growing inside or no one has tryed to fix it.I put 100 freshly harvested seeds in a bed this spring and one finally germed and right now is doing great.She is a white widow auto and right now has moved to the top of my breeding program.I have a relitive who has a p.h.d. in plant genectics and I have been waiting for a great question to ask and this may be the one. The last time I spoke with him he was telling me all about tissue cultre and how this could be adapted to pot.What are your thoughts about this gentic weakness. It is a honer to be able to ask you a question.

Hello Stitch!

I really respect what you have done for the AF community. Without AF plants there would be no outdoor growing up in the north!

I would like to ask a question about your strains. Which one of your non auto strains has the least % of lowryder#1 in them?

If lowryder#1 is the "first" generation AF, and #2 a second generation, your Jet-47 would be a 3rd generation plant.
Do you have a 4th generation AF strain available?

Many of your strains doesnt have info about the AF parent and "unknown ruderalis" is in many of the strain descriptions so thats why I feel I need to ask you.

Im in search for the "best" AF strain (mostly sativa) for my breeding project. I would love to use your "Super Autos", but im not sure would they be ready up here where I live (north Scandinavia).

Could you possibly give me a suggestion on which of your strains I should use. (least possible lowryder#1 genetics)

Thanks!
