I'm Pickle Rick! 
So let's get the tech talk out of the way shall we.
Grow room
A 90x60cm closet dressed in mylar.
Temps started out a bit high in the room, but summer is slowing down. As of now it's quite stable between 25C-27C (77F-80.6F) during the day and 22C-24C (71.6F-75.2F) during the 4 hours the light is off. Water temps between 20C-23C (68F-73.4F)
Lights
Skyline 400w. (20/4 light schedule)
Medium
2x 20L (5gal) buckets with hydroton in netpots.
Air pump
30L/min, so 15Lmin per bucket, with one big circle air stone in each.
Nutrients
Advancet nutrients Sensi Bloom A-B
Advancet nutrients Voodoo Juice
Advancet nutrients Rhino Skin
Advancet nutrients Sensisym
Advancet nutrients Big Bud
Advancet nutrients Overdrive
(Other brands), cal/mag, sm-90.
...and a pH pen and a EC/ppm pen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I've been lurking here a few months since I decided to switch to autoflowers.
My first two grows were in soil, and both of them were by no means great. but that's another story.
My plan was to grow Dutch Passion, but thought I should try some cheaper beans first.
So I dropped two Green house Seed Company - Auto-Bomb, (27th july). One of them were slow and didn't show it self for a week. And by then I had germinated a new seed, also green house. Super Critical Auto.
And good thing I did, the slow bean didnt grow more then it's first set of leafs.
Let me bring you up to speed, lets start with the Auto-Bomb.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1 - Auto-Bomb
Here she is the first day, july the 27th. I almost messed up alreay, I thought I should help her out a bit and remove the seed shell. Ofc I accidentally yanked her out of the root tab. But put it back best as I could, and no harm done.
The first week and a few days she was sitting in tap water, but switched to RO cuase she had some problems as you can see further down. She is in the middle of week 3 right now and here is what she's getting.
5ml Sensi Bloom A
5ml Sensi Bloom B
4ml Cal/mag
10ml Voodoo Juice
8ml Rhino Skin
8ml SM-90
250ppm
pH 5.8 (
Day 2-3
7 days
10 days
Here you can see the first sign of trouble. Spots forming..
Also this surprised me alot, she started to smell really skunky already.
15 days
You can clearly see the leafs, something is wrong. Don't mind the yummyness.
I removed the bad leafs somewhere between here and the next week.
Day 21
Lots of rust, havn't been able to find the problem yet, (the yellow padding is just for light leaks).
By now her smell has turned into coffe and dark chocolate.
Day 23
We are now up to speed, this is last night. Removed the next set of really brown leafs.
But as you can see it's still coming. Any help is greatly appreciated!
It always starts on the older leafs first and gets worse and worse. Here is my theory, the only one I can think of...
When I ordered my nutrients, the shop had run out of Sensi Grow. And if memory serves I read some where that you could do with bloom nutes from start. So is there something in the Grow bottles they are not getting? Or are they getting too much of something from the bloom nutes?
Any and all help as I said is greayly appriciated.
I will end the post here, next post will be the Super Critical Auto from seed to now. And after that I will update them at the same time.
If you made it this far, cudos! I probobly forgot a whole lot. Will answer any and all questions to the best of my ability. We are all here to learn and help each other right?
Happy growing
