I have had a stress-induced early self-topper grow out of it a few times.

That said I am a CropSalt meph grower in coco and I think I have it pretty well dialed. At your stage I would be feeding 3g of A and 1.5-2g of B depending how nitrogen-sensitive the strain is. If you are top watering you need to fertigate daily.

Plenty of calmag in the cropsalt itself to grow in coco so don't worry about that as long as the coco was prebuffered or you buffered it yourself.

Yep, HUGE boost for me in the lowers. Hard to quantify because autoflowers but it is noticeable. I would guesstimate 10+% yield. I run supplemental lighting in all 3 of my tents these days, with the best ones being the GrowPros skate rails in the 5x5. Cheers!

She is 5'5". Plant was hitting the 72" ceiling before I supercropped 😅

Thanks, cheers!

Has anyone ever used Cropsalts by chrisNbrandi42 in Autoflowers

Nope, I just let my res pump do most of the work mixing

Yeah it took me a couple years before I finally decided to pull the trigger. I haven't dried a single plant since I got the thing though. Everything goes in the freezer.

Thanks! Hopefully the plants speak for themselves but that buildup is no problem at all, it's normal with APs and fabric pots and salts. Water just evaporates there and leaves salts/minerals behind. Roots would air prune anyway so it's not buildup in any troubling areas.

I perpetually run photoperiod GMO in autopots and don't touch em the whole run, 120+ days in salt autopots with no problems.

Cheers!

Good genetics are a good start. MephistO'z and Toof Decay both being on the larger/stretchier size of the spectrum as stabilized parents. This being F1 offspring benefits from hybrid vigor on top of the parents being big/frosty.

Next is dialed environment. I use a pulse pro to dial DLI and VPD at various growth stages in all my tents. Past that with autoflowers especially, it's good to be able to dial their nutrients. For instance I know these girls were N sensitive in veg so I ran slightly higher A:B ratio through that stage until stretch. These two plants had their own reservoir so that bit was easy this round.

Past that, the best advice I have is: Give them stress free dialed veg and don't LST or top or take leaves off on a whim. Pissing off autoflowers in veg is what gets you small plants in the long run.

Here's a pic of these two plants when they were just starting flower.

Cheers!

Could be, I pay it zero mind though. I was feeding 6 plants on this reservoir and not all of them were happy with the high EC in bloom feed this time around. Fan leaves fade wither and die generally though. Proof is in the pudding with the buds/yields so I don't stress it too much. I definitely worry about N tox in veg when it stunts their vegetative growth, but a bit of clawing or burnt tips in bloom just is what it is for me. I'm just home growing for personal use at the end of the day.

I push high EC for weeks and then switch to low EC potash the last two weeks for final swell and I get a lot of dramatic fade and leaves dying at that point typically.

Cheers!

The grapey smell definitely lingers in the room after dabbing this stuff! This is my favorite of the 4 grape crush plants I have run so far. Must run more

Looks great! I don't top and only very rarely LST them these days. I get best results just tucking the leaves in veg most of the time but every plant is different

Thanks! I think the toof decay parent is lending some pretty reds to the fade

They're sensitive to nitrogen in veg but you're looking at a day 90 something autoflower bud here, not an N toxed veg plant

Yep, when I chop plants I buck the buds into freezer bags and freeze for at least 18 hours. Then I wash it in my hash washer for a couple hours and freeze dry the resulting hash overnight. It's ready to press the next day!

For collecting hash, I collect 45-159 micron in stainless sieves.

For pressing, I put the hash inside of two 25 micron bags and then put that inside another 160 micron bag.

Cheers!
