Grow Update Week 4

in smokenetwork •  6 years ago 

Hello smokers, long time no read (if that makes sense)...

It’s been a while since my last update.

My last batch ended very well, yielded ~193g from three plants. If we ignore the heat wave during summer that gave a headaches for weeks, it was a smooth grow. Amnesia (~86 g) and White Widow (~73 g) have set the bar very high for newcomers.

However, this is going to be my last batch of indoor automatics. Being constantly upgraded, my equipment “overgrew” my tent so I had to get a new; twice as big as the old one. Now it can fit seven plants in three gallon pots and still leaves me some space for boxfan that also serves as intake fan. With all that equipped is seems logical move to start growing much more potent photoperiod strains.


Week 1 for White Widow, week 2.5 for the rest

Selection of strains for this batch was quite simple, I was just getting rid of all autos in my fridge. From top left to bottom:

  • White Widow XXL Auto by Dinafem (Indica dominant) x2
  • Tangerine Dream Auto by Barney’s Farm (Indica dominant) x1
  • Northern Lights Auto by Royal Queen Seeds (pure Indica) x2
  • Super Skunk Auto by Sensi Seeds (Indica dominant) x2

Some LST has been done already and some more is expecting soon. Point is to stretch them as much as possible to enable all possible light to be soaked.

With first signs of blooming I've switched 250W, which was currently fitted, to 400W dual spectrum. Three weeks into bloom 400W will be swapped with 600W red spectrum that will be boosted to 660W in the last 2-3 weeks.

Other than that, pretty much same...
