and they are bluestreak i just found out. Hope that makes sense....they are super healthy and growing like crazy...should start to add weight now.
They are growing in tubs with no drain holes, organic and an encouraging worm population living in the tubs. When plants are done, I chop the plant and leave the roots intact. The dirt is about 5 or 6 years old.
I joined IC because of the auto information here. I don't breed autos, I have a friend that provides seed to me. I have no connections with seed banks, nor desire to join the biz...just love growing autos.
So...BlueStreak test seed prior to mdz re-worked it. So that's the jist of my abb grow. Hey, I just need some herb....lol. I will always give credit to the kind folk who worked on these strains. I just grow them and vape them.
I leave the root behind by chopping the stems at dirt level.
My dirt in the blue streak grow is 4 or 5 years old.
I grow organic using epsoma products, worm casting to top dress and feed with kelp, fish poop lightly with each watering.
I water a litter everyday and mist them twice. I have a lot of air movement in the room and fresh air supply.
My 400 hps are about 8 years old and the bulbs are from lowes and are 4 years old.
I run 2 large carbon scrubbers.
I plan are running many autos through these tubs and posting photos. Not new to growing but this is the first time I have switched my entire grow over to autos and the first time I have grown them in tubs.
I will keep updating this tread and look forward to getting to know everyone here.
For some reason i thought you were running hydro... nice looking for soil. I also use reused/composted soil. With proper amendments you can really super charge your soil with microbes.
They look great. I wonder. How is your yield compared to your earlier grows? I thinking yield in grams per watt- hours. Since your growing in the same conditions maybe the only change being light hours. I wonder if the yield is the same , more or less? Thanks.
Thanks for all the kind words.
This is my first official run of autos. I was growing non-autos before in these tubs. I have to say, the is the most stress free, work free, grow I have ever done! I am thinking that the autos will give more herb to me than i have ever had....just from the looks of it at this point.
They are rubber tubs that are a little over 2 feet tall. I would rather grow in tall trash cans so the tap root can go 3 or more feet down.
These tubs can be found in walmar, kmart...such places here in the us.
No holes in the tubs. Organic grow using own worm castings, fishpoop, guano, kelp, epsoma dry products and old light bulbs.
