[Pork Chop Express]

Repotted today into 6L pots. They were pretty rooted which is probably the cause of the drooping leaves and slow growth come to think of it.

Fed today again (soaked the new soil) 2ml of 5-5-5 tomato feed in 500ml water.

Increased light to 50%.

Moved heater to beneath the plants. Temp sitting at 24.2°c humidity 56%.

That's it for now. We'll see how they get on this week now. Laters

Looking good pork chop.
Fingers crossed, they respond well to the transplant. Autos can be picky buggers with stress like that.

I have noticed.

Grew two photo plants before this (failed to flower both times at the end ) but they were the easiest things in the world to grow. Grew like crazy, didn't need any looking after, just on the patio and away they went.

These autos are fussy and require work.

We call it 'weed' for a reason i suppose, it will just grow left unattended for the most part. Had a buddy who started a seed under a normal lightbulb with some tin foil surrounding it when the seedling has stretched to about a foot tall he put in a big pot and left it on his balcony to grow. Didnt feed it and occasionally poured a cup of water in and it still produced. Dont get me wrong, it was pretty shit weed but it grew into a 5ft bush and gave a couple ounces of airy buds. We weren't complaining at the time though

It's all a learning curve, this growing malarkey. Now you're in a tent i have no doubt that these will produce some bud for you.
Depending on how much you smoke, it might be worth popping a new seed every 4 weeks if you want to keep running autos. Once germinated pop them straight into their final pot instead of potting up

I'll definitely do that for next time thanks for the tip. I can bury them a bit as well to fix the issue I had with them being too leggy for the first few weeks that way.

I was actually thinking this... I don't smoke at all at the moment but realistically how much would you think these two plants would produce?? I was debating getting to say week 8 then dropping another seed into a pot ready. But I've no idea what to expect these guys to produce . I don't need to have sacks of it laying around but I don't want to run out either lol.

That's awesome with your mates plant. That's basically how I grew my last two (in a small zip up greenhouse in the garden on the patio. Watered it every few days and fed it once a week. They were the healthiest plants I've ever grown lol (besides them not flowering because I had no idea about 12/12 )

If your lowered light 50% then i would think theirs no need to turn it up 50% so saving £ on leccy. Well it sounds right in my head anyhow, just keep eye on plants and you should be good Pork Chop. That aside your doing grand with these 2 atmo mate, good stuff man.

Also look at getting a 6inch clip on fan or summink like to spread warmer air around room more evenly and to keep plants moving a little in a light breeze.

I have a clip fan in the top of the tent doing that, I put it high up so it wasn't too harsh on the plants while they were small. Planning to bring it down the bottom and turn the power up once flowering starts though to stop things getting too sweaty in there.

I'll have my extract in a week so once that arrives I'll rearrange it all.

Thankyou for your message about the extract by the way. I'll be looking into that for sure

Yes cool mate. Tis best added where i marked on your photo or their about, in so doing that it will help spread any heat around room more evenly that may come from under your light and it will also keep top of plants moving or rustling away nice and steady. Oh yes it will help to ward of any nasties like bud rot. I`m sure you get picture.

Sounds like a plan and we love a good plan.

I'm already looking forward to my next grow now I know a few things!

I'm happy with the setup I have as of now as well, I just need to get some better feed as the one I'm using was a 5-5-5 tomato feet that I read was good. But I think you guys are using way better stuff.

Any ferts should grow you some decent bud. Lots and lots of grows were done with tom feed years back its only since noughties that weed specific ferts have proper took off. I could only get Grow-Tec or Vitalink in my local shop down market way back. I would think only thing tom feed may possibly be lacking enough of is calcium and magnesium cus i seem to remember lots of grows done with tom feed that i saw seamt to get calcium or magnesium deficiency later in flowering, dont sweat on it too much though.

Is that dirt or coco your using ? I've seen some decent grows with tom feed done in coco as well. In fact i nearly went that route once, i still have all tom feed in my cupboard that i bought for it. I never did but i can never say never and its always their as back up i suppose.
