New Grower Kat's first time

[Nemesis]

Sorry, guys, but am stuck with what I could get and MG was it. I'm a poor soul and can't afford the expensive stuff. If I could have, I'd have gotten an organic product. I have to use the MG. So, My question still stands, should I use the molasses throughout the grow or stop using it until flowering? Thanks for the great feed back!!! When I can afford it, I'll get a better nute.

Keep feeding alll through the grow, you are in essence 'feeding the soil' which in return 'feeds the plant' so continue as you are.
Quiet a lot of other forums agree on this principle aswell. Some may argue,
Its all down to your preference.
Personally its sticky yucky goo lol
Hats off to ya for being able to put up with it!

Here she is, the first one taken on Sunday and the second one taken this morning. I can't believe how fast auto's grow!!!! It just amazes me!!! :jaw: Thanks, every one, for the encouragement that I have received!! :clap:

I planted a new auto biodiesel a week ago and the 1st girl is now in the preflower stage and man does she STINK!!! She's 3 inches tall right now and seems to be loving life!!! The new one is going just as fast as the 1st one!!! I can only imagine how much smell in another 3 weeks!! Thanks, again, for all the great guides here and all the great people!!!! :clap:
I guess I must be doing everything right as no one is saying anything anymore. Ok, I'll bite, is she looking good?

Hay SlinkyKay,
Your Biodiesel is 'lookin good' & well healthy...so you must be doing something right!!!
I'm a 1st timer & growing the same strain, so thanks for the pics & info on your grow, I'm liking your posts.
I've got 2 on the go, they are only a week old & are doing well, I notice you say they stink!...out of interest, just how bad? I don't have an air filter at the moment & am ‘tryin to keep it on the down low!’

At the moment, not too bad, kinda smells like a diesel truck went by. When I look in on her in the morning, it's bad, but, once I open up the windows, it dies down a bunch. You got your own thread? I would love to look in on your ladies!!! When mine first started, the first true leaves looked like bat wings. I think that it is strain specific, but am not sure. I am trying a sort of modified LST with her. I am pinning down her big fan leave to give more light to the middle. Thanks for the compliments on my girls!!! I appreciate it!!

1st pic is the old girl with modified LST, 2nd one is the new girl.

Looking good kat

Looks great bud!! I like the hook idea for LST!!

Thanks!!! I read this article http://www.420magazine.com/forums/vegetative-cycle/99440-lst-how-do.html and decided that an auto has too short a grow cycle to do a full LST so I modified it a bit and just pulled the big fan leaves down to give more light to the middle. If all turns out well, I'll be a happy smoker, if not, I'll still be a happy smoker. I will def keep pics posted on the developments. If it works well or doesn't, then we all have learned something. I got my fingers crossed as she is going into her rapid growth cycle in about a week. If it goes the way that I am hoping, I should get bigger/tighter bud sites. As soon as she turns on the flower cycle, I am changing out the full spectrums (3@ 6500K) to the red spectrums (3@ 2700K). I may be new to growing, but I'm a quick study (read, read, read). If I fail, then learn not to do what I did, if I succeed, repeat my success. To all the new growers like me, try new things, the worse thing that can happen is you don't get as good a harvest, the best thing that can happen is you get a great harvest!!! :gthumb:

Thanks NemesisOne!!! I hope I can do all of you growers proud!!! :smoke:

The first girl grew 1/2 inch last night and the middle is exploding with faster growth. I'm so happy!!! The new seedling has grown quite a bit in just a few days. I turn the pots daily to ensure even lighting all the way around the plants.
