Hawk's All Auto Grow - 2025 Grow Journal

[Oldchucky]

Thank you! Sounds good to me - I'll start counting from the day the seed pops instead of when drop in water. Won't be more than a couple days difference anyways. As for the Flowering Times, just trying to understand what different sites are claiming w. their seeds. For outdoor Photos, I NEED the fastest strains they have...

I hear you! Outdoor photos are a whole different ball game! Then the descriptions can come in to play! At least they give you a rough idea!

When it says "November" then it's like:

Hey now! I chopped the second week of November! And that’s exactly what it’s like! but it’s an option I wouldn’t trade for anything!

Transplanted the White Widow Auto into a 5-gallon fabric grow pot. Once again, used Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil, perlite and mycorrhizal fungi. Added growth powder to the rockwool cube and topped it all off with worm castings.

Watered all four of the autos. Checked my light and it was too far away from the plants. Lowered the light to 24” above the plants. Have the light setting at the lowest level for an 18/6 cycle. Have a humidifier in the tent as well as two oscillating fans (also at the lowest setting).

Should I be concerned w. the coloring on the Sugar Granddaddy Auto?

Noticed coloration issues with a couple of the Autos. Fed all 4 plants their first dose of GeoFlora Veg – ½ cup each to the 5-gallon Autos and 2/3 cup each to the 7-gallon Autos. Started LST (Low Stress Training) on 3 of the 4 Autos (the White Widow is still too small to LST). Gave all of them a thorough watering. Hopefully, they’ll all respond well.

If that’s ocean Forest in pots that large, you shouldn’t have to feed for at least a month maybe a couple! I would take a good look at my watering practices! And maybe the lighting!

Thanks for your input! Currently, my light is at the lowest setting and about 24 inches from the plants. Should this be changed, and if so, to what? THANK YOU!!

Autos w. LST.
Hoping the GeoFlora Veg will help out w. the coloration issues!

If it looks like I’m doing anything crazy / wrong, please let me know.
Once again, thanks for all the help / feedback!

Happy 420!!

Used a water meter to check the soil and all four came up as wet. Checked another plant and it came up as dry, so the meter appears to be working. So, I must have forgotten to write the last time I watered, because there is no way the pots are still wet after 8 days! Think the GeoFlora Veg has helped the color a little. All four are much bigger than last time I took pics.

Still debating: To Top or Not to Top? That is the question.
I've heard both for Autos.
Any suggestions?

Don’t know if it should be changed! I don’t use that light! Don’t grow autos! Don’t usually overwater! And they all get booted outside when the time is right! And if the meter says it’s wet, it is probably wet! You have to learn how to recognize stretching and either adjust the light accordingly, or move the plant up or down to deal with it! If you have 20 plants starting and 15 of them look OK, then you leave the light where it’s at, and move the five up or down! And I can easily see a pot that size taking eight days to dry back if it is in a humid environment! You can encourage the dry back a little by raising the pot up and letting the air circulate underneath also! Tick! Tick! Tick!

 

[Oldchucky]

You’ve already used up about 30 days of your allotted veg time whatever that might be! It varies! I wouldn’t put too much effort into training! The larger ones look pretty good! I would just get the watering down and give them their own lead to get as big as they can before the time comes! I think you’re kind of getting the hang of it! Hang in there!

Meter still says wet for all four plants! More LST. Color appears to be improving. Turned the LED lights up a notch.

Kind of looks like it! Hard to tell from that picture for sure! If there are a bunch of pistils mixed in with the new growth it is! You’ll know soon!
