user78235 Day 0, 17.03.2021 Seeding Day
This time I will grow 2 Diesel Automatic side by side. The left one with 150ml fertilizer, the right one with 300ml.(see below)
My target is a simple, reliable, low maintenance grow, allowing for a few days absence.
I only use solid organic nutrients mixed to the soil at the beginning, and none afterwards. Autoflowering strain, HomeBox Ambient Q60, Automatic watering with AutoPot 8,5L Easy2Grow Modules, Hazelbeam 2 270W LED lights with 18/6 timer, Small rotating fan.The only thing I do is Topping after about 20 days and maybe a little LST afterwards if they get to big.
Grow medium:
3L BioBizz Light Mix
3L Perlite
150ml Flo Organics (www.florganics.de)
(300ml for the right one)
Fertilizer mixed in lower 2/3 of soil.
Day 4, first sprout on right side.
Day 5, both seedlings are there.

Day 24, 13cm, 15cm - large brown spots on lower leaves. maybe a pH problem, but this is difficult to address with my automatic watering system.
Day 26 16cm, 19cm; lower leaves still getting worse, upper leaves ok

Day 35, 34cm, 37cm, not very vigorous. pH=6,5 seems ok, but it's this reliable?

user78235 Day 44, 43cm, 45cm: about 2/3 of the size I expected. Most probably pH problem. The pH of my water tank is 7,3 pH, the one of the earth is at least 7 pH. That's too much, and surely the basis for all my problems in the last month. I will probably get some destilled water and mix it with a little tap water to get something about 6,2 pH. (I will do some tests with pH down, but I suppose the pH will go up again after a few days)

user78235 Day 50, 43cm, 45cm - still too small, but flowering. I suppose this small size is due to pH problems. I checked the earth and water pH. Tap water pH is too high, earth pH is fine before adding water. It seems I can solve this by using destilled water instead of tap water. I already changed the water, but this will probably not change anything for the moment, due to the latency of my watering system.
I will start the next grow directly with destilled water and see if this helps.

user78235 Day 65: a few days more. doesn't look beautiful, but that's my fault for sure. I'll be away for a few days, and will probably harvest in 10 days.
Day 66: many pistils are golden, but the trichomes are still more clear than milky

user78235 Day 72 no change since a week. I will thus harvest soon
user78235 I will have to change something in my setup. All last harvests were much below what I was used to. The only obvious deficiency is the water which has a to high pH value. I will adjust that, and see if it helps.
