Here are the basic plans, some pictures, as well as my journal chronicling what has been happening over the past 9 days. Tonight they are being moved into their new bigger 23 L homes and I will have an updated post with pictures of the procedure soon.

I wish everyone in the cup the best of luck and hope that I can provide both an informative and entertaining journal for all to read/view, and once again showcase the awesomeness of the Greenhouse Powderfeed!

Peace

GHSC Autoflower Cup Grow – 4 Strains – 6 plants

Seeds:

2 x Super Critical Auto

2 x Sweet Mango Auto

1 x Northern Lights Auto

27/05/2013 - ** One NLA did not sprout so I am going to germinate 1 Big Bang Auto tonight.

1 x Big Bang Auto

Growing media:

Jiffy™ Peat starter pots – will transplant to 23 L pots once rooted in Jiffy’s

23 L pots - Pro Mix™ High Porosity/Grodan™ Growchunks/Hydrotron™ clay pellets @ approx. 40/40/20 mix

Lighting: 18 hours on and 6 hours off entire grow

Seedlings :

2 x Sunblaster™ T5 fluorescent - hung vertically on each side of the LED and angled towards the seedlings

1 x Sunshine Systems LED

** Lights will be kept a fair distance away as I am going for a mixed spectrum here not a ton of intensity

Vegetation:

4 x 28W Sunshine Systems™ LED’s

Flower:

The 600W Hortilux Super HPS bulb w/cool tube reflector will be added once they are getting closer to flowering + 4 x LED’s

Ventilation:

Intake – (will be added once they are in the 23 L pots) via a 4 inch (10 cm), 176 cfm (300 M³/hr) Typhoon™ inline fan with a Mountain Air carbon filter attached on the intake end to provide some protection against fungi or bacteria etc. from entering the tent. This is new as so far I have relied only on passive intake, but I believe this could definitely improve yield.

Extraction – via a 6 inch (15 cm), 280 cfm (475 M³/hr) CK™ inline fan with Mountain Air filter

Water, Nutrients & Additives:

Seedling transplant: All plants will receive Botanicare™ ZHO (Rhizosphere root inoculant w/trichoderma & mychorrizae) at transplant to 23 L pots

Water & Nutrients:

All plants will receive R/O (reverse osmosis) water + Botanicare™ Cal-Mag Plus and GHSC™ Mother’s Powderfeed once they are rooted and into 23 L pots until signs of flowering at which point they will be switched to the GHSC Hybrid Powderfeed. Unfortunately I don’t having any Indica powderfeed (other than 2 x 20 g sample packs that I will try out) which is recommended for autos but I was happy with the results once I started using the Hybrid feed last auto grow and hopefully using the Powderfeed from start to finish this time will only improve things.

Additives will be used but not 100% sure which ones yet. And again, I will also use ZEO2™ CO2 producing pads for now, but am looking into other CO2 producing sources/methods for small spaces and this may change during the grow.

19/05/13

GERMINATION:

Soaked seeds at 7:11 pm 19/05/13 in mineral water EC of 0.66, pH 6.8, temp @ 19 degrees to start, temperature should rise a few degrees. Glasses were placed in a box sealed from light and on top of the fridge where it will stay consistently warm.

**EDIT**

Having done more research, and having done this with the last Big Bang seed, I will in the future germinate with r/o water + tiny bit of Cal - Mag with EC no higher than 0.15, & pH @ 5.5. I was lazy and didn't pH and should have, and mineral water or not 0.66 is waay too high to germinate seeds considering they have all that they need in the seed to germinate.

20/05/2013

PLANTING:

I opened the box 18 hrs later to find some seeds split their shell and others hadn’t. What is disturbing is that the water in each glass had a film on top of it L I used spring water that I’d opened a few months ago and sealed again, but with nothing persistent in the water to disinfect it (like chlorine in drinking water) something must have grown in it. I really should have known better with what I’ve learned in my water course in school and should have used fresh unopened spring water. I am hoping for the best but I fear the worst and I may need to purchase new seeds this coming weekend when I go to the Treating Yourself Expo in Toronto and start over if they don’t sprout into healthy little seedlings.

Currently using one LED panel 18 inches directly above jiffys to germinate – with 2 x T5 Sunblaster fluorescents hanging vertically and angled towards the jiffy’s waiting to add mixed spectrum once they sprout and are a few days old. Once they are moved into their 23L homes I will have all 4 LED’s running until they are strong enough to add the 600W HPS

Lights on 18 hrs:

Room temp = 25 - 26°C

rH = 55 %

LED Light Height – 45 cm’s (18 inches)

T5 = 23 cm’s (9 inches) from seedlings on the end

Lights off 6 hrs:

Room temp = 21°C

rH = 65 %

21/05/13

No change

22/05/13

Today I added a heated seedling mat (* a new one, the old one would burn em up if not careful) to speed up the process a little

I can see one SMA baby making her way up so far – I planted them a little deeper this time to help give them enough distance/friction to shed the seed and keeping them nice and moist while doing so. Having to spray and pry them off works but not always and having them worked off naturally is much preferred.

@ 8:30 - one of each auto is showing signs of sprouting

Lights on 18 hrs:

Room temp = 23 °C

Temp at base of jiffy pellets = 27 – 28 °C

rH in room = 60 % average

23/05/13

@ 6 pm- approximately 77 hours after planting

Sweet Mango Auto’s – both have split their shell and the bent stems are surfaced with cotyledons on their way up

Super Critical Auto’s – Both have sprouted fully and look healthy

Northern Lights Auto – one baby sprouted fully with healthy cotyledons, but 1^st true leaves tips are looking white, I will keep an eye on her. The 2^nd hasn’t shown signs of much yet so we will see.

Watered - mixed new water: reverse osmosis w/small amount of Cal-Mag Plus

EC = 0.4 pH = 5.5 Temp = 21 °C

@ 8 pm - Now that almost all have sprouted and most have visible taproots I turned off heated mat, and turned on small ceramic oscillating heater to maintain proper temperature air temperature around 25 – 27. I want to get them into their new 23 L homes a lot quicker than the last autos and plan on transplanting them on Sunday or Monday most likely (in 3 – 4 days).

Also started using the large humidifier to maintain target rH – around 65 – 70% for my set-up at this stage.

Lights on 18 hrs:

Room temp = 25 - 26 °C

rH in room = 60 – 68 %

24/05/13

Status:

Sweet Mango Auto’s – Both sprouted fully and with the exception of the very tips of the 1^st true leaves looking a little white they look healthy.

Super Critical Auto’s – Continue to grow 1^st leaves and taller

Northern Lights Auto – Still only the 1 baby sprouted outta 2, positive news is 1^st true leaves looking more green and less brown and growing quickly.

** Going to buy a 5 pack of GHSC auto seeds this weekend, just not sure which ones yet, and may have 4 autoflower strains in the tent this time – maybe Big Bang?

After time spent thinking about the cause of white tips on the first true leaves of some plants I considered that it is very unlikely that the autoflower seed-stock, especially of the new strains, would be very old and soaking them could create excess moisture causing the issue? Just a thought and maybe I’m wrong and it probably has to do with whatever was in the germination water – I’m sure these strong plants will fight anything nasty, crossing my fingers.

LED Light Height = 40 cm’s (16 inches)

Lights on 18 hrs:

Room temp = 26 - 27 °C

rH in room = 65-70 %

Lights off 6 hrs:

Room temp = 21°C

rH = 65 – 70 %

27/05/13 – 4 days since sprouting

Growth has been moving along nicely for the 5 babies. Second true leaves are already visible and the initial issues with white tips on some are already becoming a thing of the past. Taproots are visible as well as multiple feeder roots, especially on the Super Criticals. I’m going to wash up the 23 L pots tonight and transplant them in the next couple of days so as not to slow the rapid growth down.

Tonight I’m also going to soak a Big Bang auto seed to take the place of the NLA seed that didn’t germinate, it’s my first try at growing 4 different strains together, and my first try at growing the Big Bang Auto last Auto grow I did 8 plants and 3 strains.

Mixed new water:

Reverse Osmosis (r/o) water +Cal Mag Plus to 0.4 EC + GHSC Mother’s Powderfeed to 0.6 EC total.

pH = 5.6

Temp = 22 °C

@ 10:45 pm – soaked a Big Bang Auto seed in r/o water + a few drops of Cal – Mag Plus = 0.20 EC

& temperature @ 21 ° C. Placed in a light proof box in the grow room where it is about 25 – 26 °C

LED Light Height = 35 cm’s (14 inches)

T5 – 23 cm’s (9 inches)

Lights on 18 hrs:

Room temp = 25-27 °C

rH in room = 65-75 %

Lights off 6 hrs:

Room temp = 22 °C

rH = 70– 78 %

28/05/13

Planted a Big Bang auto seed after soaking it for 18 hrs in r/o water + Cal Mag Plus @ 0.30 EC & pH @ 6.0. Trying out a clear glass over top of the Jiffy to help improve rH and maintain a higher humidity around it until it sprouts. There are a number of gaps between the glass and the seedling tray which will allow some air exchange

Noticed a few small orange/brown spots on the one Super C. auto and the Northern Lights auto. I don’t think it is anything serious and growth continues nicely. I am going to consider transplanting them tomorrow.

Its being made using the same app as the indoor journal but I will try my best to make it look different

The Tri-pot Tournament is all about the comparison between the different sizes of pots in the same environmental situation. Is it as lucrative to use an 11L as an 18L? Or even a 6L?! I understand there are other factors to include the most important of which is the difference in seedlings. As we cannot clone this strain each plant wil not be 100% the same. This why I've germinated the whole ten and im picking the three best looking girls

Anyway, enough chat! It's time! Enjoy

Well that's the first week, not a great deal happening but they are cute nonetheless The format will be more apparent when I transplant and start reporting on the three best ones See you next week

Today i started germination on 3 autobomb seed's as they are the only auto's i have left from green house seed co, the seed's are about a year old so i hope that they will pop. This grow i decided to try something alittle different, i was previously doing my grow's in coco. However because i have a box of General Organic's entire line that i have to use up because it has already been opened so this grow will be entirely organic and instead of using coco i decided to go all out and buy a really nice an rich organic soil. the soil i am using consist's of rich black humus , organic compost, canadian sphagnum peat moss, sand, MycroActive Mycorrhizae and the soil is OMRI Certified . as far as fertilizer i will be using the entire general organic's line. i have never done a full organic grow indoor's and i havent grown in soil in a long while but i was getting comfortable with my previous choice of medium and decided it's time to switch it up, for a change.

for container's i have two 11L container's and one 2 gallon container. a choice i made because i bought to much soil but both container's will be sufficient to use from seed to harvest in soil the 11L's might even be too much. the light is a 400W hps. so i planted the seed's tonight they should pop in the next day or so and when they do i will take my first pic's and do my first update.

here are the picture's i took of the seed's right before i planted them.

So anyway's i will be posting pic's as soon as they pop!!! until then take her easy!

Hello everyone,

First of all, as usual, I would like to thanks Green House Seeds, Strain Hunters and all the people handling this contest, you are doing an amazing job.

This grow will be focused on Auto-Bomb (Green-O-Matic x Big Bang Auto) and Sweet Mango Auto (Mango x Big Bang Auto). Two different crosses of Big Bang Auto, I already grown it and I liked it, was a very fragranced fruity smoke.

I’ll use a regular photoperiod for this grow even if they are autoflowering, so it will start at 18h/6h at 250W 6400K° CFL bulb, then still 18h/6h at 600W MH 5000K° bulb after 2 to 3 weeks, then when the first flowers are out 12h/12h at 600W HPS 2000K° bulb.

I'll use BioBizz Light mix as soil in the pre veg/veg, then AllMix when I repot, and will start the feeding with Powder Feeding Short Flowering (same as Mostly Indica) after the pre veg.

Tips :

Some tips for Auto Bomb and Sweet Mango Auto strains :

-Auto Bomb : I noticed they react better if you water them with "cold" water. Because if you water them with tempered water (like 22°c), they may have the leaves dropping down after watering.

7 to 10 more days would have slightly increase the yield.

-Sweet Mango Auto : React very well on both cool and tempered water. If you cut the lower branches you will have a big main bud so they react well to this. (But not recommended on a Auto).

Smoke Report / Effects :

-Auto Bomb : Hits strong and relaxing in same time, good for daytime if you are stressed or for bedtime. Fruity candy smell and taste.

-Sweet Mango Auto : Hits strong, long lasting, good for daytime/bedtime. The smell is complex, Mango and milky sour fruits. Taste is like sour fresh mango, very fruity.

Thanks for watching.

-Peace.

After my White Widow (GHSC) harvest and drying procedure I put 3 Kalashnikova Auto seeds to germinate.

Today the 3 seeds where put in soil, after germinating them with the Greenhouse method.

(soak for 24h, then put on wet toiletpaper for 24h)

The top of the pots where covered with plastic foil to create a humid enviroment. (initial root lengths when planted: about 4mm)

The first medium I am using for my seeds is a premixed soil mix with perlite and low nutrition made by "ASB GREENWORLD".

[N:150-500 mg/L,P₂O₅: 40-300 mg/L, K₂O: 50-400 mg/L]

My Kalashnikovas will recieve Greenhouse Powder Feeding when first growing stage is over (i guess in about 3 weeks)

Everybody starts their Journals with some nice pics, right now I havent got any but will ad them soon when the babys sprout.

All of us just have to be a bit patient untill we can see our babys.

I have put 4 seeds into some coco after 2 days in some kitchen roll 3 of them sprouted nicely still waiting on the other it has cracked just taking a while for the tap root to grow.

Setup

2m x 2m grow tent

Seedling light: 125 watt cfl

Veg light: 250 watt metal halide

Flowering lights:600 watt euro reflector. x 3

White strawberry skunk X2

And of course the ladies in question

Sweet mango autos x 3

i´m starting my grow journal. the seeds arrived to me last week. I put them to germinate day 04/15/2013. Today I put it on the soil.

kalashni 1. I'll vegetate and flower in 18/6

kalashni 2 and 3. I'll vegetate them in 18/6 for a week or two. flowering outdoor will be in a secret place. probably will not post more photos of them because the camera will be an extra weight for the walk

This is my first journal here on the website, hope you guys will enjoy the report until the end.

I have started the grow 1 week ago, so I'll explain what has happened until now.

This is the story so far:

3 x Kalashnikova Auto
1 x Green O'Matic

1 m² x 2m grow tent

2 galons square pots

Medium: Sunshine Mix #6 + 30% Perlite

Nutes: General Hydroponics Flora

400w HPS light

Challenges: Since I live in South America, the temperatures are high right now during the summer, staying around 30 degrees outside so I'm constantly struggling to keep temperatures down.

I have started germinating the seeds on January 15th and on the 17th I put 3 Kalashnikova and 1 greenOmatic in the medium as they had already sprouted. Remaining greenoMatics didn't came out from the seeds and so I discarded them a few days ago.

All plants are growing fine. i'm following the General hydroponics DTW feeding schedule.
The #1 Kalashnikova suffered a small accident on the 19th and it's brench got bent all the way. I've made a support for it and it has been doing well despite of that.

Today they are exactly one week old since they sprouted. i'll post some pics later for you all to see.

That's all for now. Feel free to comment and ask any questions.

Cheers

22/05/2013

ive caliabrated my ph and ec pens

soaked 10 coco pellets in a ph of 5.8 ec 0.6

ive germinated my seeds by putting spring water inside the seeds sealer bag that they came in

the next day they have craked ,then i planted the seeds in the coco pellets, ive still got 2 plants in the grow room so in the night the seedlings are gorwing in the tent under hps light then taking out and put in the window to get natural day light when the hsp lights are off ,this will only be for 1 week till i can up the hours in the grow tent and get the l.e.d set up

Right so on 1/4/2013 i started 3 sweet mango seeds i first dampend some tissue paper and placed all 3 into it and left it on top of my aquarium to keep warm 36hr later took them out and placed into pots of 60percent coco 40 perlight they were then placed in a propagator a d placed under a 125watt cfl light until they pop throu then they will spend about 10/11 hours a day under my 400watt hps flowering light that my white lemon are under the they will be under the cfl for about 10 hours really its just to save on cost of running 2 lights they will be feed only on powder feed supplyed by ghsc there not that much to tell at the minuet as they were only started 5 days ago will get some more pics bit later on got a few just befor they wrre placed in coco thanks for reading peace out

First of all id like to thank all at the GHSC for this second installment of the greatest cup ever conceived! Thanks x

This thread is for discussing the upcoming Auto-flowering Cup! If your as excited as me then you'll wanna talk about it, sorry mods you can delete if necessary

I must state that THIS IS NOT A SIGN UP THREAD so please keep the chatter about the cup and not a mad rush of registration attempts, thanks

Anyway, onward with the games!! I guess the burning question is...what seeds are gonna be available? Greenomatic? Auto Bomb? Kalashnikova Auto? Sweet mango auto? NL auto? Super critical auto? Oh my god I'm in heaven....

Lets play!

This time round we plan to have 2 plants and to compare the difference between LST and topping to see which gives us the best results. First pics when I get to my computer.

I love Mangos so much.. never forget when i ate my first fruit. Back in the late 70ies you did not find the exotic varieties in every corner shop like today so it was something special when that Lady in Kingston offered me the "expensive west indian" Mango. a huge fruit, very juicy, soon realized the spots do not wash out that easily from a white shirt..lol

The first thoughts were Kids will love that fruit ! No other fruit does taste that sweet..Years later my jamaican girlfriend took me on a Mango Walk along Negril's red ground. Dozens of big Mango trees all of them ripe in may - We collect the fruits we fling down by stone in her nice straw head and just njam them - You would neva believe how many fruts we ate that afternoon. 2 dozen or 3 each.. the juice was just all over the face and the final shot got me the best Mango ever on top of an old large tree. That is for you she said and it was like a meditation to eat it.

The important factor is ripeness as usual....

Anyway

I do NOT expect the smoke to taste like a sweet juicy fruit but maybe the smell reminds us of Mango.. We will see into that later .. usual i am NOT fond of too fruity strains but looking at the buds or watching how nice DUST plants came ou,t I expect good things from these seeds.

Okay - I took 4 out of the bag and soaked them in warm water overnight. 3 of them sank to the ground and stayed there while number 4 dropped down but came up a bit . In order to treat them all the same I put them inside toilet paper with a special feeding mixed water and left them like that for ca 18 hours..

Then i checked the outcome and 3 of them had sprouted already.. 2 were perfect sized..so i grabbed my last Grodan starter blocks and soaked them good with a ph of 5.5 and a mild Indica Powder feeding mixture in hand warm water.. The seeds went into the blocks "asshole up" like greenomatic 87 would say , sprinkled them once more and put them inside the trusty Propagator i got from nirvana.

I swear on his simple battery driven construction.

in case you stil look for a good affordable propagator check this link..

I put the 4 Sweet Mangos next to the one White rhino, that came out of the blocks a bit later than the sibblings (another WR + a White Widow, that are by now too tall to be grown inside that Propagator).

It is better to use smallller root riot cubes with the Nirvana propagator, that way they could be grown a few days longer inside of the propagator...

So a lot of words..Pictures come in the next chapter..

Like 299 other People got I one of that Autoflowerings an like 100 of that 300, I will do for sure a journal about it

I started at the 12.04.2013, 5 Auto Bomb and a few other Seeds 2 dayls later they popped up and show me some sweet little root tips.

after five days all 5 were a live and ready for the GH

Hi all

This thread is going to be rebuilt when time comes so plz dont spam it - yet i started it so early cos i have vary limited online time and i was scared i might miss the end date to enter the competition ; ]

the grow will start near the end of june and will take place within few outdoor locations.

Kalashnikova Automatic (Feminised) = Greenomatic (Ruderalis x Moroccan x White Dwarf x Low Rider) X Kalashnikova (AK-47 x White Widow) - Sounds promising.

Indoor - 7 weeks flowering time with a yield up to 800gr/sqm. Can be flowered at 18 or 12 hours photoperiod. 9 weeks total crop time.

Hi Strainhunters,

I have got some room coming up this week under the light, so i am not going to waste it. I have gratefully received some Kalashnikova Autoflower seeds

Which will be fed with Short flowering Powderfeed from start to finish.

This will be my third attempt at growing autoflowers, the first time with Greenhouse Auto genetics, previously i have grown Think Differnt from Dutch Passion and Northen lights Auto from Royal Queen seeds. So will be happy to see how they compare.

I will be using one of my trusty HPS 400w lights on a 12/12 light schedule.i have previously been growing them on 18/6 for two weeks then 12/12 on my previous two attempts. I am changing this time as i want to keep my electricity bills down, and if i have the light on 12/12 constantly, So I can grow a wider range of varieties, auto and feminised, all on a 12/12 schedule from start to finish.This will be my last indoor grow till August/September as I hope to start outdoors on the 1st May if spring ever arrives this year. Free light always a bonus and with a decent summer can get some good results outdoor.

I will start my plants in small 2 litre pots then transplant them after a week to 10 days into 11 litre pots where they will stay for 9-10 weeks.I will fill the pots with my usual soil easymix from the local grow shop,then add clay pebbles when I come to repot them.

I will start by filling the pots with soil, I will then drop the seed in a 1cm deep hole I have made,cover gently, I then give the soil a light watering with warm tap water over the seed, cover with a sprinkly of soil, mist that with tap water, I will then put them in a dark cupboard and wait patiently. i have only failed once using this method and that was my first attempt ever.

So away we grow. Thanks Greenhouse

P.S.: Seeds in water for start the metabolic process in date 12.6.2013

In date 16.6.2013 my little army is ready to start the life!!

Here we go with Wales's World cup effort, ten auto bombs to go out this year, havent been able to find a new spot so just have to make more of an effort fighting the elements this year. Not planning to start them off till April but ive done a session in the field before all the insects get busy, got most of the soil up and ive preped 4 decent pots and the rest will go tiered into the old water tank thing.

1st make big hole in pot - good for drainage !

Then add big rock

Then add gravel and pebbles from river

Put some soil in and leave till needed ! Any animal dung can be put in now too if ya like, few months too rot down wont do any harm.

Camo it up

Water tank with last years pot soil, will tier whats left into this, hopefully 6 !

Need to know who or whats fucking with your plants !!!! Counter surveillance Green ops style

Aint gonna be posting weekly till April but thought id get started - Good luck all

I've decided to run some Kalashnikova Auto with the short flowering powder feed.
