If your temps are low with the extractor on, then up the wattage till you get the desired temp. Get it dialed in with the extractor on now, then the hard works done for later.

 

Keep it at 2ft through veg if you have the height and you wont have any issues.

Good point, I will do this later.:)

 

Will it matter if they get closer than 2 foot towards the end of the grow as I have limited head space? I should be ok but just checking.

 

Forgot to mention I have also started LST.

@Kaidog they can go as close as 18" when you flip.

 

Its just getting them used to the amount of light, as they get older, they can take more light.

Ok great stuff, cheers for the info:yep:

 

Day 24. Trying to sit on my hands at the moment and not over feed/water, plenty of growth every time i look in now, only LST on the main stem but the side shoots are gonna need it soon too. 

Small feeds of Root Juice and Fish mix every other watering.

Had something munching on the leaves the other day so used a mix of crushed garlic and chilli spray on the leaves (seen someone on this forum recommend it somewhere) any way its been a couple days since i sprayed them and haven't had anymore leaves being eaten since. (crosses fingers) The only problem now is that my drobe smells like a kebab house! lol

Upped the wattage on the QB now to about 180w with the extraction on full time. Temps staying around 23c.

The Amnesia hasn't given up either, its still having a go!

Just a little bit of patience my friend  :yep:

 

This is the point I see a lot of growers mess up :) things are progressing at a really nice pace now, your getting steady growth, plants look great and very healthy  ;)

 

Maybe start with the side branch training over the next week other than that keep to the same regime as it's working :yep:

Started to the side branch training last night as it happens, some of the side shoots are now taller than the main stem.

Day 27.

The joys of shed growing, the weather has finally warmed and so have my drobe temps! Had a high of 30c yesterday so have put the extraction on the higher setting. Now back to around 23c.

Side shoots are taking off so more bondage needed. More feeds of root juice and fish mix.

22 inch between canopy and light.

LST has kept plants at around 7 inch tall for now.

With outdoor temps hitting the highest we've seen this year your doing a great job keeping those temps in range  :headbang:

 

Not easy at this time of year  ;)

 

What are you plants for a veg period mate, day wise? Another 2 Maybe 3 weeks then put the ladies into bloom (12/12)?

 

All the best  :bong:

My mistake mate lol

 

Have you always done 24/0 with Autos? I've always felt even with Autos they need a little rest but I've seen many grows with no down Time and amazing results  :yep:

 

Would love your thoughts mate?

 

Any dark period needed for autos in your opinion? 

 

All the best  :bong:

@Kaidog you want to keep the temps lights on at 28-30c with the leds m8, if you can manage that and every thing else is on par things will progress at a real nice and steady rate.

Toke...

Iv been dealing with 40c temps outside the last week and 29c - 34c in the tent. Keep your humidity high and your plants will be able to transpire happily still and not have any issues - I have 150w of led 24" from plants like this with good growth despite the heat. 20/4 or 18/6 might help them out to get a little rest in too as suggested :)

Day 32

Growth is really picking up now, will need more LST later.

Carried on with the chilli and garlic foliage spray as it didn't seem to do the plants any harm and whatever was munching the leaves has stopped. Will probably give it one more spray then stop as I can see signs of pre flower.large.65627337_10155985477377024_5106846845158555648_n.jpglarge.65768933_10155985477522024_6333468648534966272_n.jpglarge.65809051_10155985477447024_3535573883581104128_n.jpg

Day 38.

Just a photo update really, things ticking along nicely at the minute, temps between 20c - 26c, nice lot of heads forming and keeping up with the bondage to keep the height down. Light running at about 200w and 24" from canopy.

@Dinafem-Mark do you think i should start bloom nutes now? i will be using Canna PK 13/14. (im still feeding root juice and fish mix every other watering)large.66037336_10155998891722024_6488898421145993216_n.jpg
