The Home Grower's Thread

Here’s what’s going on with my 4 plants and my home make light box that there growing to big for :laughing I’m just using some cheap led lights I got
Off eBay seem to be working

So my 4 autoflower Gorilla Glue are doing amazing in the cococoir. I've been treating them like soil plants and only watering when dry but research and Byke indicate that I should water once a day with coco.



This is the oldest at 50 days old well into flower:



These two are the same age as the next one growing flat and green as expected:





Been bending/LST

This next one is the same age as the above one yet turned into a monster:



Taller less bushy still super healthy

The plants seem to like daily watering! The smaller ones are really exploding. I was going to start planting seeds a little offset to compensate for LST but it seems like once they fill it its relatively centered.
 
Not gonna lie, I don't even smoke anymore but following this thread definitely makes me miss growing. I had a 4x8x7 grow room setup in my garage like 10 years ago. Had a 1000w MH for veg and 1000w HPS for flowering, custom made hood, window a/c and that was it. I grew in soil and used earth juice fertilizers. Was able to grow 12 plants to about 3ft tall and harvest about 1-2 pounds(dried) every 3 months. Some of thw stuff you guys have posted really makes me miss it. I've been thinking about getting a small setup going just for fun lol.
 
The two youngest ones, 36 days old. I've been using aggressive bending and even supercropping to keep it as flat as possible and expose colas. It' amazingly resilient and hard to break the stems and they bend easily without snapping.





Watering daily.

I think a lack of early LST resulted in the taller but the Christmas tree shape of their sister grow at the same time.

The adults:


Ordered a second Pro Breeze Electric Mini Dehumidifier, 1200 Cubic Feet (150 sq ft) so now I have dual humidifiers and dual dehumidifiers hooked up to a single digital humidity controller. I need to lower it a bit for ideal flower but wth good ventilation and my fan it seems to be fine

Welcome to the jungle

Shit is getting reals. Been using the Mills A and B nutrients it seems to love whatever I throw at it.



Bottom left is day 60 and the rest are day 38

Added the second dehumidifier. I can't think of any more upgrades other than optimizing space and moving the carbon filter fan outside the tent. This magic uses 360 watts (600 watt "equivalent")!

Don't know why I didn't do this literally years ago. Moved the fan OUTSIDE the tent. It's a huge pain to hang and takes up tons of pace.





And obligatory update shot:



The mature one just keeps getting fatter without the tricomes changing yet :)
 
How much longer for the one on the lower left? Can you post a closeup shot of that one? Do you find the auto's are just as loaded with trichomes as anything else?
 
I'd have to guess 1-2 weeks as the tricomes are only now changing. I'm not noticing any negatives to autoflowers and as you can see they're going crazy.

I'll take a close-up of it when I get home.
 
These were from seedsman? Do you remember which ones they were? I'm curious how they were categorizes for height versus how tall it actually is.
 




I've been getting the watering down to about .5 gallons per plant per day so as to not wastewater. It needs to runoff but I don't want to flood the floor of the tent.
 
Got some General Hydroponics KoolBloom liquid and power on the recommendation of Byke. It apparently boosts the buds in the last week for the powder which is crazy strong and throughout flower with the liquid.
 
Byke would never recommend that artificial garbage! I kid. I used to not like GH stuff, but they're kind of the benchmark for indoor with nearly the same 3-part since the 70's. Here's the new GH ripener I was mentioning...

Finally got everything all trimmed up and tallied. Came out great and yielded well. Need to have another shindig for sharing.. :)
 
These plants seem indestructible. No matter what I water them with they love it.

The koolbloom thus far has no negative effects
 
Replaced the single tower fan with multiple rotating and stationary clip ons. Frees up floor space and I don't feel the tower was penetrating the canopy of the further plants.

Fed the mature plant 1 week of KoolBloom powder and now will start the flush tomorrow.
