3 weeks from soil as of yesterday heres a lil update, they are doing pretty good other then what is believed to be a small ph issue, ive been adjusting my ph @ 6.5 for soil when i should be aiming a lil lower since i am technically in soilless (Promix BX)
Started the "week 2" recommended feedings from the foxfarm chart on their website (not the recommended bottle dosage) and adding 1ml/gal of calimagic. im pretty sure the only reason for the purpling is my ph is out of range and the plant cant intake the Mg it needs.

heres some pics lemme know what you guys think, dont be shy and leave a comment if you are passing by

Stacking nicely.

[Darkstreets]

Thx @str8smokn, just gotta play with the ph a bit and that should solve my issues. i was hoping for a bit more explosive branching out after topping/fimming and feeding, but i've never been known to be very patient lol i just remember my hydro grows and how fast those puppies were stacking.

 

[Darkstreets]

well its 4 weeks tomorow and after some N+ issues and making some adjustements i think im back on track. just wondering if i should flip them now seing as i only have 9 more inches before the light is right up against the ceiling and she is currently 3.5feet above the tallest plants (15" high today)

lemme know what you think, the 3 small ones are 3 week old "kush" bagseed that are growing very slow. im not really expecting much out of them they will be a happy addition to the final yield. this run is just to get me back into things and trying to get a feel for it again

im also hoping that the 2" internodal spacing on the taller ones wont give me fucked up buds, seems like its a long way between nodes and will be even more once she stretches in the flip

here they are second day of flower, good amount of new growth but still seing some downwards canoeing on some of the newer growth, im not sure what to make of it anymore and its only on 1 plant... well the second biggest is also doing it a bit but not as bad. anyways these arent awesome pictures but you get the jist of it, cant wait till they show sex.
Also notice how the big fan leafs are just sagged down onto the bucket and not supporting themselves?

please feel free to shime in on what my problem could be
TEMP:76 lights on 68 lights off
RH:62%
Lighting: 1000w MH 3ft from the top of the tallest plant
10-12" oscilating fan blowing across the canopy on the second setting of 3
Promix BX media
water @ 5.8-6.3 ph
havent added nutes in a week or had to water in over a week since i flushed them but before that i fed em with 6tsp big bloom and 2ml grow big \ gallon with 1ml\gal calmag.

@THCdurk shitty dilemna but id go with the best looking one home slice, them autos look dope as fack

Why can't you put the autos under 24, and bring in the bagseed for its 12/12? Enough room? Able to move to a diff dark area? Would be worth getting a little less sleep and harvesting both those mofos when they proper done?

 

[THCdurk]

It was already cut down I don't have the room I only have one tent I'm waiting to buy another tent. A smaller one for veg.

I found some fabric pots cheaper than your 5 gallon buckets. Those buckets take forever tondry out and it seems like they dont wanna drain no matter how many holes you drill in the bottom. The wetting and drying out of your soil makes your plants thrive. Next time try these cheap cloth pots.

Fucking genius.
I have to buy a bunch. Was heading out today to pick up 30 5 gallon smart pots.
Funny thing is I need rectangle shaped to fit in my trofts.

Mine are working pretty good so far, I got the idea from another forum, this is my first run with them.

 

[THCdurk]

What are those like the reusable cloth bags from grocery stores? @3N1GM4

 

[Darkstreets]

yeah those are walmart reusable bags, ill be using those or anyways a 3gal version of them for my next grow with the autos, the plastic buckets really do take forever to dry up they suck

 

[3N1GM4]

Yeah, they are $0.50 reusable shopping bags from walmart. They have much longer handles than cloth bags made for growing.

 

[THCdurk]

Way more convenient to move around I respect it mcguyver @3N1GM4

 

[3N1GM4]

I cant take credit, I found it on another sites forum. The guy said he had been using them for years with the only problem being that they fall apart if used outdoors.

 

[Darkstreets]

yeah ill definatly give em a shot on my next grow, since they will be autos ill just fill 3 gal of promix in em instead of a full 5gal, at the price they cost doesnt really bother me if i have to change them out every few grows if they work reall well

 

[THCdurk]

Shhhh just say you did it.

 

[Darkstreets]

well day 6 of flowering today and at least one of them is showing pistils and by the shape of the preflower im fairly sure i have at least 2 ladies in there. i missed that feeling of excitement when its around this time and you find out if youve been wasting your time for the past 5 weeks or not haha anyways here are some pictures. sorry i cant get good close ups im a shaky bastard and my phone isnt the greatest
