A few more pics of my plants 3rd day week 6 I hope they swell some more fire looking and smelling I hope they blow up a little I was under watering for quite some time had an impact on yield for sure . The redvelvets starting its purplish red fade al.ost like the s belts . I'm happy I still have a few of these seeds there getting put away for a later grow were I'm more experienced.

They look great. Love seeing them colors come out. Don't worry. They will swell a bit more. I try my best to keep them well hydrated during flower. I have let them dry out but I don't see any advantage in doing it. Two waterings I let go an extra day. They were pretty pissed off by the time I got to them. They recovered quickly but it did cause some leaf loss in the process. Which isn't a horrible thing but it seemed to stall them for a minute and I don't care to do that. I water them all the way to the chop.
 
Looking great, and yes, Autos really stack on the weight the last 2wks so be sure to push them ok.... can't wait for you to try some bro...

Dry stressing works awesome.... just don't allow the plant to dry to the point of wilting, bad stress.. I just let mine go an extra day once in a while and what I notice is after you water they go bonkers... I love to mimic the great outdoors as much as possible... plants go without rain.. when it does rain, your weeds take off like made and your outside mowing again.
Inspect your root mass carefully at harvest, it will tell you a lot about how you watered and what changes you can make..

I'm not knocking GM at all, he's a very good grower.... just sharing that I dry stress every other watering and get great results. It's also important to water right at lights on growing indoors.... give that plant what it needs at wake up, more magic occurs.

Most important... when you find what works for you... keep working it and master it. luck

Just did this to my mid flower plant. It's in my thread. It's such a thick plant I'm hoping it drops a few leaves..lol.
 
Here's the autoflowers I have going right now 5 one beast mode one gabagoo ccc from @Carty first four pics next is a franken parm from dream Beans grown in gaiagreen ewc promix. She's the frostiest auto in the tent I'm impressed.shes also throwing some purple hairs. Pi 5 6 and 7. Then I have two other dream Beans I'm not positive what strain but there in little gallon gallon and a half containers just another flavor pics 8 and 9. Even if I only get an Oz off each one I'd be happy and I have a feeling I should get more then that . Once again iv learned a lot from this grow light ppfd also the watering and nutrients. Play a critical role in these plants yes they will and can grow with out them but I want the best I can get

And the show has just begun. careful not to over water, biggest crime on Autos.... 18/6 or 20/4, remember, even Autos need that dark cycle to create oils and goodness.... I just did my 2nd run on 12/12..

Gotta love an Auto...
 
I really like photos.

It's my biggest problem over watering as babies and underwater ingredients as adults with the added perlite it's hard to over water as adults but it seems when seedlings they really only need a shot glass of water every three days a little more for the first week or two no?
 
A few pics after I get this house cleaned I'm gonna take a ic of each plant label it what strain what it's in pot size and feeding just to go bak on in future

Tent is getting filled back up slowly also waiting on a 2x2 to start vegging in then going to use the 2x4 for flower . I'm thinking if I top four photos in a 2x2 once keep each in say two gallon tall plastic pots once there say 3 ft tall put them in the 2x4 but once I put them in there spread them out with a scrog also up pot to five gallon fabrics . After two weeks flip . In the 2x2 veg just let them grow straight up until they get put in the flower.. until then I have two fem autos just popped one had two come up but I'm thinking a seed that didn't come up a week ago came up if that's the case it's a reg with her and we'll let her grow . Also the two redvelvet x gmo they were buds there revegging now will they straighten them selves out or do I have to take clones off of them ? I'm gonna just put pictures and label the picture here we go 20241015_193100.jpg three cotylydons I believe it's called a tripled mutation not sure beastmode in a half gallon plastic pot reg 20241015_193044.jpgbeast mode.5 gal plastic pot reg20241015_193041.jpg this is a lime time auto fem dream Beans just took the seed shell off 3 gall plastic pot20241015_193038.jpg3 gal plastic pot fem dream bean lime time and a beastmode I believe if not the seed sprouted twins idk 😐 20241015_193015.jpg20241015_193010.jpgtwo redvelvet x gmo there rooted and reveging what am I looking for ? Regular leaf pattern 🤔 or do you just take clones off her or can I use her to flip to flower either way they'll be on the sidelines rooting on the autos for a wile there's pistols and tricromes on everything it's crazy how the bud stretched into mad diff stems and leafs so cool 😎 20241015_193005.jpg

So lights up about three ft 100 percent everything is getting g a ppfd of about 350 I will be lowering the light so the ppfd is about 500 in a week I just want the newer seedlings to grow a little first they were all Givin a tea mainly to just feed the microbes and make sure everything has sufficient amount of microbes to break down the organic matter in the soil. Here's the pics full tent waiting on 2x2 to put photos in . Thelarger plants are the staw berry lemon tree f4 regs the there's two beast mode one is the tripled each leaf comes out in a set of three starting with the cotylydons cool as heck . One pot has two in it autos the will get trained early as you see but nothing to abrupt or stressful I notice stress make early flowers then there the reveged gmo x redvelvet

All looking good. That reveg caught my eye. Nice job.
Yea it was very bushy I had two one was growing way better but I literally took everything off except the few shoots that you see and now I can notice it growing before it was taking to long . It'd be cool for the leaves to stay like this . Isn't the triploid pretty cool there's three sets of each leaf that come out . Do you use teas? I made one with molasses ewc a handful of compost I made out of leaves green and brown woodchips grass cuttings green and brown and rotted bananas things like that kitchen scraps . It was a blackish dark brown and I had it compost in a tree that is rotted and fell over and I used it like a bowl I'll take a picture when I get a chance. I also put a tbspoon of Dr earth dry amendments it's got . Microbes michoriza and trubiotics in it I figured it wouldn't hurt . I put the ewc co.post and fertiliser in a thin nylon sock tied it up . Put it in a gallon of water and dissolved one tblspn of unsulphured molasses in the water . ( this is tap water that's been sitting out for almost a week def no chlorine in it anymore) also as far as iv read and in my research the molasses acts as a food for the microbes to thrive off of. I got a cheap 5 to 15 gallon air pump for a fish tank a splitter and two small airstones put it in the water around 3 pm yesterday . This morning at 9 am the pot was over flowing with foam with I have read means the tea has worked I can't explain it off the top of my head but it's a good thing . I watered all of the photos and a little in each auto I will be doing this oncea work through this whole grow .

No, I'm not even close to organic growing but it works well for many.

Check out this SFV OGbx3 I've got going. Single unserrated leaf all over the place but the newer leaf sets are finally starting to come up normal.

This is regeneration in flower mode I guess. I've never flowered one so far from reveg. Not to sure what I'll get. A mess or a masterpiece..lol

Updates five fem autos. And my revenged redvelvet x gmo are here . I believe all the autos are going into there stretch I'm still not sure so I'm just watering when dry. Also using teas in between watering a recharge tea and a ewc tea with some extra goodies in it but hopefully I have an ok harvest with these ladies I am going to be cutting four clones off the revenged red velvet x gmo for my next run.aldo I really haven't been able to do what I really need to with these autos I'm luky if I have a few minutes here n there. Either way each grow I'm learning a lot this grow so far iv been trying to perfect the distance of light how much power and ppfd these ladies should get but I have a feeling the photone app isn't correct but right now the autos are getting a range from 465 to 600 ppfd heights and pots play a good roll in that but it's Aldo good so I can see what stage should get how much ppfd . Yes I can just learn from other ppls grows but I want to understand everything from me doing it and learning the why's and the how's. Also I learned in this grow water when the plants tell you if I don't I over water so once I see my plants starting to droop a little I water . In seedling veg state I used to always water too much . To often I should say now I water and literally wait even if it's a week two weeks as long as there happy and growing there fine . Also some ppl are worried about letting the medium dry out because of the microbes and fungi but just through a tea on her it'll be booming again

I just wanted to add the fact the bigger pot you use with autoflowers and soil type grows you'll for sure get a larger plant the largest plant is in the big 7 gall plastic pot one drain hole in the bottom I used a lot of perlite about 40 to 50 percent she's loving it iv watered the larger plant three times it's whole life once dry a good watering the perlite makes the water travel through the medium very quik. Also micro managing your grow makes you almost always overwatet or do something you shouldn't. We can't stop trying to improve.
