GreenVision Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi all, another Sunday update. The plants have cheered up a little since the last update, all but 2 of the Cookies Auto's now have a full head of pistils. that said the two that dont aren't far behind at all. Quite impressed so far with the auto's actually. More often than not with autos there is always some genetic variation, it just comes with creating auto strains. But these are pretty solid and homogeneous, in fact its quite hard to tell any of them apart in terms of geno / pheno traits. The only plants that do stand out in the wider shots are the couple of WW autos I have in here. The aroma is starting to shine through, quite typical of an auto cookie, floral pine with that auto sweetness over the top. The training went pretty well, each plant has 5 tops minimum at equal height reaching for the sky so should be an interesting yield, could even be the best auto crop I've done tbh. I've had to keep the feed back 3ml per litre with the Organix Grow, being auto's they're doing the expected and feeding a little less than photo's would beat this point, however the Organix really has done them proud. I wasn't going to say anything before now as I didn't want to jinx it, but the autos have had no Cal/Mag issues what so ever. My water is anywhere from 05 - 08 EC, so its not exactly soft, but whenever I have grown autos in the past I have needed some kind of Cal/ Mag additive to keep them well. These have sailed through. and I have to credit that to the feeding regime. So a plus 1 for the Organix there as far as autos are concerned. I dont usually have much luck with autos, I get good results but I grow photoperiod plants normally so not as experienced with autoflowers. I usually get some kind of nutrient issue by now, often calcium. But to have these looking as healthy as they do at this stage is quite the feat for me. I genuinely don't have a burnt tip of spot anywhere. So for now I'll continue the current Organix Grow 3ml p/l and 50% dose of Foundation until those two plants catch up and start to bloom a bit more. One last thing for the update, as of today the 600w MH has been removed and has been replaced with the 1000w Dimlux DE. I felt that 630w of CMH and 600w of brand new MH was enough over these in a 2.4 x 1.2, but now the gloves are off and its time for some serious red to help them bulk up some. So now the plants have the 630w of CMH and the 1000w 400v DE over them, and I will turn up the boost on the Dimlux once things get into full swing. ATM the lights are sitting about 80-90cm above the plants, this is quite high tbh, but I don't want to overdo anything so I'll keep an eye on them over the next week whilst they stretch and see where I should be with them. Be back soon. Take it easy all. GV. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenVision Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hi all, gona do the weekend update today instead of Sunday this week. Everythings going great ATM, the plants are now on a full feed of ORganix Bloom and they seem to be taking it really well. So far they've had 2 feeds over 4 days, the pots are drying up really nice which is great what with the fucking weather out there. Quite a big change to the grow environment though, as in its a totally different one... I've decided to move the entire crop into my 3X3m Budbox Pro. There's quite a few advantages here, first off more light, I have the Quantum Boards in there so the Auto's are now surrounded by better spectrum. Also the extraction system in here is better, as is the air flow. Plus they have a little more space between each plant now. They still have the 1000w Dimlux de above them, but with a QB either side, so these should really shine. Got a few pics before the lights went off. The Contactor kicked in whilst I was setting everything in it's place so I got a few lights off pics too. Looks like I should get a pretty decent yield from these, if they keep going on the current path they're on this could be the best auto grow I've done to date. @Dinafem-Mark The Cookies Autos really are Homogeneous for Autos mate, quite well balanced across the 10 plants. Right now there's not much in the way of aroma etc but they are really healthy. Breeding was really well done IMO. @Intense Nutrients Matt First time in a decade I think I've ever got to this stage of an auto grow without a single deficiency. Every leaf is spotless. Don't like to blow smoke and what not, but I have to give credit where its due, Nutrients genuinely are doing really well mate. Looking forward to trying the Hydro range next grow Thanks for reading through. Will be back soon. Take it easy all. GV. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenVision Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hi all. Quick Sunday update. Just into week 7 of these and it's starting to show. Seeing two distinct genotypes now, as I said in the early stages it did seem as though there were two and they're much more visible now. One is a taller plant, a bit more cookies I think. And the other is just a monster. Very short but very stubby and thick buds. Again thus far no issues what so ever. Been very simple plants to grow, and look set to give a good result. I think they will go to 10 weeks personally, the taller plants are looking much more behind and will need another 3 weeks. That said I think I will need to get another bottle of bloom. The one I had may have another feed or two at the most, but being Organic I would flush for a week max, if at all, so I would think I will need another bottle. But not to worry. I'll get one before the end of next week just in case I do run out. Will be back soon. Thanks for reading through. GV. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate, the taller genotypes are defo more GSC in smell and structure as they have that earthy aroma and golf ball bud formation. But the others must come from the OG auto side as they are short and really thick. In fact I think it will raise a few brows when I harvest these as the pics really don't do them justice, I'd guess 5 inches thick some of these colas. The shorter ones really do smell creamy and moreish too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh' they're surprisingly very frosty these autos. With everything else going on I knew I'd need something to harvest around March-April, and quite chuffed at what I have here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenVision Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hi all. Just an update for the sake of.keeping time. Today is 8 weeks down from the day all plants were out of the soil and had completely opened up. As of right now I'd say the shorter plants will be done week 10 but the taller ones will need 3 weeks, possibly even 4. I'm hoping to harvest 3 weeks tomorrow but tbh it's going to be hit and miss. Got another bottle of Bloom. Just in time too as they will be due a water tomorrow / Sunday latest and I was all out. GV. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got better at hiding them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
