Mephisto Genetics Ripley's OG in Autopots.

[MattyMatt726]

Hi guys/girls, I'm new to AFN(lurked alot though) and wanted to share my grow. It's my first with autos(popped a Dinafem WW payed almost no attention to it due to filler in photo tent and i liked what it did. Though OMG if i only tried). I am also on my first grow with a HLG QB 135 watt. I have a 4x4x8 tent so obviously don't utilize the whole thing. I know Im definatley getting a 2nd 135 and might just get 4 down the road for full tent. Anyways i have 4 pot system(only using 2 atm) with Royal Gold Tupar coco, no air domes or stones at the bottom. 100% coco with the perlite that is pre mixed. I use 2.5 ml CalMag, 6 Micro and 9 Bloom GH for nutes per gal. Its only been on res 1 week with 4 gal initial water and still 1/3 to 1/2 full. They were topped at 3 weeks at the 3rd node and should be tied down but I've been lazy. Today is day 42 and looks like flowering is finnaly happening XD droopy leaves seem to be overwatering with the all coco but leaves are all green so ill take what i can.

Edit- today is actually day 35 NOT 42 XD had a moment.

Hi @MattyMatt726 and welcome to AFN!

So glad you decided to give autos a chance! So many established photo growers just turn their noses up at the autoflower. May I suggest that you do an introduction in the new members area? You can leave a link to your grow there and it will help steer traffic back to this journal! Good luck!

I took pics with lights on and off to show how green the leaves are still for now XD hoping they stay that way. I'm a member from RIU since 12', and really am liking the autos. Im not too disciplined with 12/12 lighting changes so this fits my autopot lazy/GH Lucas(H3ads modified) nute grow perfect. I do have 2 free samples 230/1000 grm Mega Crop to try when my GH is gone. I decided to go all in. In March i got the following

Ripley's
Hubbabubba
Double Grape
24 Carot

And for 420 i got the 5 that dropped as well. $300 exactly in less than 2 months so im in it for the long. I'm hoping to take the big Ripley's clpse to day 70-75 as long as mostly cloudy/no amber and might let the little one go 80-85 as i heard its a tranquilizer if 30%ish amber. Thanks for the support, happy growing.
