West Coast Vaper Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 So I recently purchased a tent for what I think was a bargain (thanks bud, you know who you are) for the purpose of a flowering tent. I was gonna attempt a perpetual grow using my cabinet for veg. I had a good result with Strawberry Vostok autoflower from @Bay Seeds outdoors recently and approached him directly to see if I could get my hands on some more autoflowers as I think I can get one more outdoor going. We've dealt before and PostNet rocks for counter to counter for us guys in the dorpies and farms. His stuff is available at B&B but couriers don't come out here. Long story short. I got gifted what I was trying to order and then some and it was suggested I try autoflower indoors. So autoflower tent. Nice having a tent I tell you but oh boy do I need to buy some more equipment now. Bush Pub profits down, my kitty looking good. Temps are down now so I decided to switch my brand new second hand investment on. Fans: 100mm bathroom extractor as intake bottom left of tent. Click's clip on fan Farmer Makes a Plan extraction top right. Oscillating fan on pedastal not working on keeping lights cool but good circulation for the plants. Lights: left to right. @Light It Up 240W QB Chinese 300W blurple, 80W using a Watt meter. @growopz 2 x 75W QB/Bar. Not sure the correct terminology. So here's to autoflower strains from @Bay Seeds that will be introduced as they break ground under the QB's and I'll wait and see before I reveal what's under the Chinese. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Removed the pedastal and put the fan back on the floor so that the lights get a side wind. Really thought fan blowing from above although at an angel would have kept the lights cooler. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 @Bay Seeds Strawberry Vostok F2 put into tot glass for 24 hours then straight into the soil. I was considering putting seeds into kitchen towel first but Na. First seed broke ground in under 48 hour's then as labeled. Waiting on three more to follow. Soil is a mix of FF and Orgasoilux that is being reused from pulled male's in the shade house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 @Bay SeedsStrawberry Vostok F2 Autoflower. 3 plants from 5 seeds. First casualty grew upside down. Couldn't save it. Second casualty I just killed. Don't ask. So I'd say germination rate 100%. Plants going on 2 weeks old now and looking healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Day 21. Any ideas on the yellowing guys? Have a feeling it's my soil. Same thing happened on one of my outdoor auto's which I topped and it turned out ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weskush Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Over/under watering. Light def is eliminated because they are outdoors right? Soil should still be packed with nutrients so i will also rule that possibility out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Seeds Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 stick a seed in next to each as a backup, if these get a nutrient issue in the first few weeks they will flower out very small. Sorry bud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 The @Bay Seeds Strawberry Vostok F2 seems to be on the mend although the pics don't show it. The unknown auto's under the 2 x 75W are fine and after pointers on the forum and reading I got to thinking. Who the fcuk would think about light deficiency. Really. Is there such a thing? Now I know. Lowered the watts on the 240W down to 160W and things are improving somewhat. Snipped damaged leaves and started training one plant. Last pic are the unknowns. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Two @Bay SeedsStrawberry Vostok left. Having a bit of a struggle indoors with the SV. Pulled one male and the 4th one just did not make it. Some new growth on the trained plant so let's hope. LAST two plant pic's are mystery auto's (either strawberry cheesecake, lemon Larry OG or a mix of the two) in same soil planted about two weeks later. Only difference between these and the SV are the lights and size difference, almost double. SV - 240W turned down to 160W. Mystery - 2 x 75W. Water pH round 6.5. Runoff pH round 6.5. Same soil outdoors I seem to be running into a calcium defeciency if I've researched correct. I'm stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Seeds Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Scrap these, start over, 4 weeks lost but It happens. Start a bunch more but in smaller pots. They dont need much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how to feed an addict don't you . Plant much more.Yes sir.Been thinking about that. I've been battling to keep my soil moisture on the right side since I've started playing with 10l plus pot's.Have load's of 3l but hoping to find 5l laying around.Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Seeds Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 3L is enough bud, keep stones under each pot. It really helps the drainage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Have these little pots that I put under the plant pots. Have some CBD strain off to be tested soon then these pots (variety of sizes) are gonna be packed with CBD products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they take up almost no space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 The addict I am I was chomping at the bit to get started but without a drip tray I didn't want to go bugger up the tent base. Why not use a garden table says the wife. Fuck she's a genius. All the stragglers into the shade house and two of the mystery auto's under the 75's. All set until I can find decent drip trays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 Day 21 and sex is starting to show. Pulled 2 male's. Day 51 for the big girl. I'm having more success with the auto's this time round. 10l pot is more suited to my skills level I'm finding. The @Bay Seedsmystery auto's looking healthy. These are either Strawberry Cheesecake, Lemon Larry OG or a mix of the two. Popped another 30 into the glass and put into kitchen towel today. Will be putting 3 per 10l pot and cull male's. Then into a little greenhouse I've slapped together in the shade house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
