autos, huh?

So over time I have acquired a few auto freebies and wanted to get rid of em. Ordered 3 more to make a grow. I’ve heard huh bub that they were way better than the lowryder days so figured let’s do it. I like trying things at least once and so the journey begins.

freebies are:
Delicious seeds
Dark purple
Delicious candy
Bought:
Dutch passion
2) Ultimate
Daiquiri lime
Started em in 3gal smartpots with happy frog and fed with em1, camg+ And molasses until they were 4 nodes. Then gave 1/8th strength full GO line and mid week em1 water. Will be adding mh this weekend.
So already am pissed cuz the dark purple is the smallest by far and in transition right now while the other 4 show no signs yet but I’m guessing next week as they are 3.5 weeks above ground. The one sativa is a photo and is diesel glue

Also the 2nd time ever outta hundreds of seeds I got the gift of variegated leaves on the daiquiri lime. Wish I could clone it.
So smartpots front left to right, mid, back left and right are as follows:
Delicious candy
Dark purple
Daiquiri lime
Ultimate
Ultimate

terra cotta pot is diesel glue

can’t wait to get the mh in there to wash out that hideous purple light. had i known i was going to lst them i would have offset the plant from center of pot to accommodate the lateral move

so i swapped the blurple leds with the 600w mh today and also pinned the girls down to spread and even the canopy today. they are really exploding in size, but they are autos so... tomorrow will be the 4 wk mark and i am bumping up the nutes to 1/4 strength from 1/8th. also, tomorrow will be the 1st bloom feed for the dark purple as she's the only one in bloom now. she started to bud at 2.5 wks from planting the seed! i might throw her outside

too lazy to take pics. maybe in a day or 2

trying to get used to this explosive growth and low nute rates these rudi's need. obviously the delicious candy wants more, but it's nutso how fast they deplete themselves growing. i can actually watch em darken up, grow at hydro rates and start to fade. hopefully the 1/4strength will help and not burn. keep in mind at mid week water i'm adding em-1 so that is a little extra kick to consume anything that lingers nutrient wise. sorry if it's common knowledge for autos but i am not an auto fan and lack the know how

2nd pic is delicious candy, 3rd & 4th are dark purple which is 10 days into flower, 5th daiquiri lime (variegated), 6 and 7th are ultimates
