Me Gusta Sweet Seeds - Photoperiod and Autos

[AustrianToker]

The first Auto seedlings are above ground.

 

Sweet Gelato Auto were the most eager to pop.  2 of them are out and enjoying the rays from the new LED light.  Btw, i have a mistake in the description.  I have a CXM 320.  But should still be plenty enough for the bonanza.  Still set on lowest dim setting.

 

 

 

 

The second Sweet Gelato Auto has stunning colours already.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is one the Sweet Cheese Auto XL making its way towards the light.

 

 

 

 

Hopefully all the others will follow within the next day or two.   Next update will be on the photoperiods.

 

 

e2a: Sorry for the cat hair.   They get everywhere....

Nice to see some more seeds breaking the surface.

Those autos should be sprouting soon, and those photos flowering too!

Sorry for the update delay, but i was a little busy last week and the seedlings did suffer from neglect as well. I managed to kill two of the Sweet Gelato Auto seedlings.  The others barely survived and are not looking their best. 

Sadly, i forgot to check them before going out of the house a few days ago and returned to completly dried out seedlings.  I managed to revive six of them and have started germing two new seeds to replace the fried ones.  

The survivors have been potted into final 7L pots yesterday and hope they recover well.  Onwards and upwards from now on....

 

 

Sweet Gelato Auto is one of the better looking ones - she also the first of the seedlings to appear and must have had better reserves.

 

 

 

The other Sweet Gelato Auto survivor. 

 

 

 

Jack 47 Auto XXL currently not xxl, but hopes haven't vanished.

 

 

 

Also Jack 47 Auto XXL - This one suffered a lot and barely hanging on to life.  Hope she recovers from her state farely soon.

I hope not to screw up to much from now on.  Glad i didn't kill all of them and placed another seed of jack47 auto xxl and sweet cheese auto xxl into little pots and hope they catch up soon with the survival gang.  I also promise to make some pictures of my flowering photoperiod girls for the next update.   Thankfully, all is well with them.

As promissed, an update on the photoperiod.

 

They have now entered the 4th week of flowering or 23 days to be exact.  Things are looking good. The temps have been in good range: 21-25C at root level and RH is also good: 43-52%. 

I have now started to feed them with bloom nutrients at half strength and a dash of cal/mag with every watering.  I need to water them every 2 days or so.

I also managed to stake them with bamboos in order to provide support for bud growth.   Although, the colder temps during the initial weeks of flowering seems to have slowed their growth and they seem to have stretched a little less than usual (but i coudl be wrong).

 

Psicodelicia 1 - never seems to stretch too much anyway.  Surprisingly, as they are sats.

Well they're a picture of health ,and sure the autos should take off soon enough .

Wonderful looking girls mate as they enter the main bloom. Hope your autos are picking up

Update on the Autos.  Which are now doing a lot better.

 

I believe most of the Autos are about 2 weeks old, except for the 2 seedlings i started last week.  They seem to enjoy the large pots and growth is picking up at the moment.    Light system is dimmed at roughly 70% of max output, around 200w.

Temps have been great: 24-26C but humidity is a bit on the low side: 35-43% but still ok.    They are being fed with water and some foundation (root stim) for now.  Don't think i will need to use nutrients for another 2-3 weeks. 

 

Here a look at the veg tent.  Sweet Gelato on the left, Jack 47 XXL in the middle and Sweet Cheese XXL on the right.

 

 

 

 

 

Both Seedling germed with no issues.  This time, I used slighlty larger pots to avoid them drying out.  I will probably pot them into final pots in the course of next week.

How right you are...    Some more bud pics coming this week.

The flower tent is doing well and took some pictures yesterday.  The photoperiods have now completed the 4th week of flowering, as 28 days have past since the switch.

Girls are a bit hungry and will up the feed to 3ml/L of bloom and perhaps introduce to PK towards the end of the week.   Temps are still a bit on the low side and RH is good.

Hello @AustrianTokker

Now that the autos are stable,hopefully they ll start to take of soon.

Photo s are doing pretty well.I m trying Psicodelicia for the first time and yours seem to frosting up well,so far.

All the best to your grow m8.

Cheeers. 

[Openairbud]

Lovely looking plants dude 

[AustrianToker]

The Automatics are now 2.5 weeks in and growth is really speeding up.  

So far, I am quite satisfied with the performance of the LED.     And i haven't even turned it up all the way.  Which i will do once they are in the bonanza drobe - roughly a week from now.

Temps has been good: 24-27C, but humidity is on the low side: 32-43%.  But there is not much i can do against the low humidity, as i don't want to invest in a humidifier atm.

The 2 seedlings, which were started about 10 days ago have been potted into final 7L pots.  The bottom half filled with growmix, top half with lightmix and some OG Granules from Intense Nutrients sprinkled before placing plants in.

 

Sweet Cheese Auto XL and Jack 47 Auto XL

 

 

 

A bit of root porn...   Not crazy rooted out, but honestly, I'd rather have the autos into final pots rather then rooting ou the small out completely.   Potting up too late has a negative affect on autos in my experience.

 

 

 

Here is the lot basking under their new artificial sun.   Sweet Gelato Auto on the left, Jack 47 Auto XL in the middle row, Sweet Cheese Auto XL on the right middle row and the seedlings on the far right.

 

 

 

The first to show pistils is the Jack 47 Auto XL. Crazy how fast they become mature.

 

 

 

 

The freak is slowly recovering and haven't given up hope for her.  I hope the growth become less freakish and she develops some nice buds.

 

 

 

Sweet Cheese Auto is developing very well.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the Auto update.

All doing well atm. Psico is a really nice strain imo.  I've grown her few times and keep going back.  She is not very intense at first site, but very enjoyable in a way.  You will see.

Thanks Openairbud.  

[Clumsy]

Autos have really come on and the photos look lush,

 

Lot of love for the psicodelica 

 

Happy growing and good luck with the competition

Great looking sets of plants, photo and auto. It is amazing watching how fast autos develop.

[AustrianToker]

All the Automatics have been moved to the Bonanza today, which measures 118x76x175 and now equiped with new lighting by DIYLEDUK - CXM 320.  Totally impressed already with the first weeks of performance with this new light.  I have it now dimmed to about 80% output.

Most of the plants are now roughly 3 weeks old, except for two, which are 2 weeks old.  All are very healthy looking and growing at a rapid pace.  Haven't measured temps and humidity, since they've just been introduced to the drobe.  But it feels good already.

Plain tap water and some foundation (rootstim) is all they getting at the moment.

 

Here a look into the bonanza

 

 

 

 

Sweet Cheese Auto XL on the left and Sweet Gelato Auto next to it.  SC auto is starting her stretch and have now been pinching the top in order to slow it down a little.  Sweet Gelato has much broader leaves and just as healthy.  I have Gelato 33 clone flowering in my tent atm and wonder how they will compare.  

 

 

 

Sweet Cheese Auto XL also started her stretch and also got pinched

 

 

 

 

Sweet Gelato Auto and Jack 47 Auto Xl in the corner.  Both doing really well with loads of side branching.

 

 

 

 

Top and middle: Jack 47 Auto XL   Bottom: Sweet Cheese Auto XL

 

 

 

 

Jack 47 Auto XL has now fully recoved from her "freaky" days and now expecting a growth spurt.  I don't expect her to get as big as the others, but i think she is still worth her existence

 

 

 

 

Jack 47 Auto XL preflowers are now appearing and she is the most advanced from the bunch.  Bushy girl she is.

Thanks, Clumsy!   Psicos are looking good.  Hope to take them out tomorrow for a little Photoshoot.

Cheers.  The autos are shooting up .  There growth has been so fast, even with the initial difficulties at the beginning.  One thing about autos...  mistakes in veg can cost you a big chunk of the final yield.  Therefore really happy they picked up fast and seem to be happy.  Hope to keep it that way.
