Hey guys, meant to post the other day, but couldn't get to it, some great progress in the garden though, as you'll see now. As you may recall, I said I'd try to get some root pics here a couple of bucket changes ago. Well, although I didn't post at that time, I did get those pics, which make a great compare and contrast to the pics I got yesterday (11 days apart) here you see the earlier pics:
And here the pictures taken yesterday:
Lovely root development, as always. In veg, I use Heavy 16 two part veg nutes, amended with a little GH CAli MAgic and 2 mils per gal of rapid start and 1 mil per gal of Orca. The week before I hit them with the bloom nutes, I give them 1 mil per gal of Heavy 16 fire and 2 mil per gal AN Bud Candy. This program is what I call a "clear res" solution. Meaning it doesn't stain your roots. Now, Heavy 16's Bloom nutes are anything but, and after trying them, I don't feel them suitable for DWC. So subsequently, I tried GH's FloraNova line, and while they aren't as root-staining as the Heavy 16 line, they still are far from a "clear res" solution, so now that I've used up what I bought of that line (our photoperiod Brooklyn Mango will use up the last of it) we are about to try Technaflora's bloom line, which I've heard mixes up very clear, so that's what these autos are going to be on once they go on bloom nutes, and if it seems to be a solid product, and the "clear res" solution we're looking for, all our stuff going forward will be on it. So here's the autos 12 days ago:
And some pics from yesterday, the 3 plants under the smaller hood are photoperiod White Widow, the 2 closest plants on the other side of the flexi-duct going into that hood are photoperiod Sweet Deep Grapefruit, the other 9 are the AK-49 autos
Some lovely progress, and one of the ladies is already showing small pre-flowers. Going to wait until they look to be in week 3 of bloom before hitting them with the bloom nutes, want them to veg as long as possible before they begin their pre-flower stretch. I expect to do two more bucket changes before that point, though.
Finally, the other 6 autos (Red Poison and Ogre) have just begun their explosive growth phase, and in 2 weeks should look amazing, competing with their sisters
Excited for this auto crop, just a couple more months!
