Indoor New guy here - laying out my grow plans for review

Day 57 (or 53 from sprout)

Unfortunately...these autos weren't really going into auto mode....so I made the decision to go to 12/12 light. In the last three days they still gave me some vertical stretch....but horizontal has been outstanding. Bud sites everywhere. All confirmed female. Im bummed cause they didnt auto...yet still excited that they look pretty awesome. Enjoy some pics from earlier today.


The plants range from 16" - 22" in height - also I used Roots Organic 707 soil for 12 plants and OF for 4 plants . All were marked properly and I will start to post comparison pics between the 2 soils.

Glad they're flowering, but sucks that they didn't auto for you.

Yeah it sucks.
Gonna setup a tent for germination thru 2/3 weeks of veg - then switch them to the real grow room.
The other day I found a guy on CL selling all his grow stuff...got a awesome deal!!
$220
1- Ufo led - (I think) 90w
1- 240w 7-band led
1- 4 bulb t5 2 footer

That's a beast deal.

That's a beast deal.

Yeah it sure was. I set everything up...no missing parts and everything works 100%
The 90w ufo seems pretty useless by itself. Im thinking of using the t5ho light to germinate....and then introducing the ufo after 2 weeks.
--Gonna do some changes for my 2nd grow. Gonna try the 2 tier method in the tent before switching over to the 3 gal smartpots in the growroom. I got some 44oz big gulp cups - Im thinking they should be good to go for 3 weeks before I switch over.

Just a side note for anyone following my grow:

I was really determined to figure out why my plants didnt "auto"
So a took 1 plant out of the grow room and put it in my tent - I changed the lights to 24/0 for almost a week. The bud production totally stopped and I got some vertical growth. I would assume the plant went back to veg - confirming my suspicion that a got Fem seeds instead of Auto seeds.
I notified the breeder and they offered to double up my next order that I place with them. Unfortunately my timetable and perpetual grow got screwed up - but I am happy that they recognized their mistake and are willing to make good. Its hard to get very upset with a 100% germ rate and 16 big healthy plants that are budding and smelling delicious.

Having had similar problems of late with really only room for all plants I have just been going 18/6 and they took ages to grow I have decided to just go with well known proven Autos for next grow I feel Sad for you but pleased you got a decent deal and you have some lovely plants there .I'm just trying to flower the latest with flower nutes slowly introduced .Hope it turns out well.✌
