First 4 X 4 Auto Grow

gwheels · Nov 18, 2016

I have it all set up and everything works with minimal vibration and no light leaks.

I am using a scorpion grow light which has 9 x 62 watt cob for a 550 wat actual draw from the plug.

6 inch scrubber.

Fusion 4 x 4 x 6 1/ groe tent.

I germinated 5 Trans Siberian autos an 3 quarter pounders.

4 Trans Siberian an 2 quarter pounders in 3 gallon fabric pots.

If more germ I will put them in 3 gallon hemp buckets.

Nutrients will b 100% general organics.

I will grow them on 18 / 6.

Let's see what I can do.

These are suppose to n strong and big yielders for autos.

I will update weekly

Looks good that's an led light ? how close can you get that to the tops ..I hated autos 12 13 years ago when they came out they were shit but I just harvested a nl blue auto and it was AWESOME it grew it self , literally just grew itself all I did was feed half strength grow then bloom and in a 10 gallon smart pot under a 1000 hps it did amazing and I loooooove it now all my friends I gave some to loved it too ..I love hooking my boys up who pay out the ass for stupid tiny amounts , I give all of it away except what I'm gonna smoke anyway I love it but yeah back on topic autos are the easiest plant I've ever grown I just wish I was able to stop it from flowering so soon so it would have produced more it produced about 6 oz when all was said and done and I was happy as hell still am..now I have 2 more 600s up and I wanna grow one again

The light can get to 12 inches from the tops. I might have to do some bending if it doesn't work out but these autos top out at 4 to 5 feet so I think they will fit just perfect. I grew some autos with a 150 watt mars reflector LED and the weed was great but the yield was less than desirable. I have learned a lot and this should be my best grow ever. :)

trans siberian ...One of the strongest autoflowering varieties available, Trans Siberian is a crystal covered cross that looks like it has just come in from a blizzard. A mix of one of the world’s most popular strains, original White Russian with ruderalis. Tops out at about 3 feet and 22% THC

Quarter pounder auto....This is a very powerful strain alongside very generous yields. 25% THC with plants that can get to 6 feet. Based on the original big bud crossed with hash plant and ruderalis. Flower is a full 10 weeks (a 90 day autoflower strain).

I also have a royal queens seeds raw diesel in my grow box that is going to end up in the tent. Might as well give it more light :)

That is what I am growing. I have 5 black 3 gallon fabric pots for the trans siberian and 2 brown pots and a hempy bucket for the quarter pounder. That will put 9 plants in the tent. I will cull the weak if space is an issue :D I like that problem better than small plants.

Seeds have all cracked and I transferred to a paper towel to get a tap root to form. I think they will all go in the pots tomorrow.

gwheels · Nov 20, 2016

The quarter pounders all cracked and are in the tent. I will add the others in the next couple of days

DrMcSkunkins · Nov 20, 2016

Shame on you for not growing a cheese strain with the quarter pounder...

gwheels · Nov 21, 2016

4 trans siberian out of 5 had tap roots

3 quarter pounders out of 3 had tap roots. Why didnt i grow some cheese to make it a burger royale. Curse the luck !!!

All are now in the tent. If the last trans siberian tap roots out :) I will put it in a hempy bucket because I ran out of fabric pots. I never expected 100% germination rates but these seeds are top shelf.

The heat in the tent is at 78 degrees and we are at 55% RH with 4 out of 9 cobs on. I will check it out when i up the lights after everything is growing. We are officially growing in a tent :D

I got 4 big bungee cords to secure the massive charcoal filter and will adjust the air intake to be in a better spot but other than I am rocking it !

gwheels · Nov 23, 2016

Nov 23. Adjustments were made to the ventilation and i put in a better fan. It is nice in there now and not too warm. The one growing is the raw diesel auto i started in my growbox before I had this up. The plant loves the new light.

Pulling up a chair, I'm also in a 4x4. Good vibes brotha

gwheels · Nov 25, 2016

It is funny how this is just causing me to have more questions. :) I love to learn how it all works. And I am so looking forward to producing some decent sized buds. I know I can. And wow that kush I grew is mental I forgot what I was going to ask....

Now I remember.

I have a good PH meter. What should the PH be of the feed I give my plants in that 4 x 4 with soil as the medium. With the hempy bucket I am just going for 1/2 strength nutes. From what I have researched it is sort of the same idea as coco but with perlite.

All nutes are general organic
BIO root, Bio Grow, Bio weed and Bio marine (started now in the hempy and will start them in a couple of weeks in the others)

I add bio root when i water them now because they are spending all of their time making roots

My question...should i get a TDS meter and which do you recommend. I don't mind investing in something good. I got a 20 dollar PH meter and that thing needs calibration after it is calibrated. So I said screw it and I got a blue pen and that thing is aces. So if I have to pay for a good one I will.

I just had plant #3 break the surface. The damned tent has windows i can look in!!! Give that guy a beer.

OhpeKush · Nov 25, 2016

What's that plant growing in the back? Thing looks crazy

gwheels · Nov 25, 2016

Royal Queen seeds raw diesel auto. Big fat full leaves on that one and it thinks cobs are outstanding because in 4 days it doubled.

To bad it tops out at 2 to 3 feet but my growbox had a smaller light so puck it and trow it in the tent.

I figure all 9 cant possibly pop the surface but if they do that tent will be full of some fine autos

An just now it is 4 that are officially seedlings.

I run nectar for the Gods which is an organic line as well. I've been using bio root from the start as a root booster. I'm in coco in fabric pots, also in a 4x4. I run my pH at 6-6.2 ppm has been increasing over the last few weeks. If your still in the seedling stage its not necessary to feed anything but water as needed since they have what they need for the first few weeks stored in their cotyledons (first round leaves) if anything I did just a little bio root and water for the first 2 weeks

Wow that things beautiful, can't wait to see her flower.

DrMcSkunkins · Nov 26, 2016

Ever since I saw this thread saturday and learned that there was a strain named quarter pounder I have dreamed of crossing it with a cheese strain and making a quarter pounder with cheese strain...

Being in soil I think your ph will be different than incognito since he is in coco. You might want to check with the dirt farmers... the perlite may be the same as coco or hydro... I would research. PH is very important.

You're definitely right, good catch. I forgot to mention that I was only talking about the Hempy bucket.

As another 4x4 user I'm pulling up a chair. Never messed with Auto's or LED's so this will be great to see!

I'm unsure how useful a TDS meter would be with General Organics. Might be something to contact GH about. What kind of soil mix you running? I believe a general rule of thumb for PH is Hydro:5.7-5.9 Soil 6.0-6.3

I'm gonna start up some coco hempy's soon and they'll be at 5.8-5.9 with GH micro and bloom

EDIT: http://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GO_BioThrive_DTW_021616bm.pdf
If you check that out they give you some general PPM ranges and a pretty wide PH scale to hit probably because of the organics.

This is the general organics feed chart. Very similar but organic
