The seed has gone into the soil, added some water and covered it with a dome. This is my first autoflower and the first time using (hopefully) decent nutrients. Plain water for the first week as the soil has everything needed, after that i will introduce nutrients.

Toook 3-4 days to come out of the soil. The temperature is a big problem, having trouble managing day temps. Will work on it, hoping it wont die till i find a better solution. Still plain water.

Apart from the heat the week is going well. Started LST and it is responding well. increased nutrients and am feeding as needed. Started LST a little late, cause i was busy. But it seems to be alright. I will adjust it regularly as it is speeding up the growing.

This week went great, increased the nutrients and it looks like the plant is alright with it. Trimmed some of the leaves that were touching the ground from the LST, i expect that to slow the growth a little but it will make the watering much easier. Verry happy with advanced nutrients, this plant is growing faster that any other of my grows. The plan now is to let it grow outwards till flowering adjusting LST as needed. Then trimming everything that needs trimming, before letting it grow upwards and produce nice buds. Atleast that is the plant im aiming for.

Week went great. I was planing to trim before flowering but reading up on autoflowers i realised it might not be the best way to go. So apart from triming all is as planed, the plant is streching and no more LST. Did have a light malfunction but thanks to two drivers it was simply at 50% power. And only for a day. Still verry happy about advanced nutrients even though i am using less that i am suposed to, better safe than sorry. Makes feeding easy and my plants have never been this healthy, not a single nutrient issue during veg. I do feel like i could use some root stimulants, but i know nothing about them. Something to read up on i guess.

Looks like the streching is just about done. some nice buds are forming all over but i cant really tell if it will be verry productive yet. The flowers seem somewhat dense, that is a nice change fron the usual airy buds. I am feeding acording to a chart i found... But i dont think i will go above what i am giving now. The plan now is to feed at this rate till second to last week, then lower the amount of nutrients before flushing for the last week. Any input or comments are welcome. Things i should do aswell as things i should not.

Week is going great. Buds are starting to thicken up and trichomes are starting to form. This is the thirstiest plant i have had, probably partly due to the high day time temperature, but it looks to be just a minor problem. Can start to see that the yeald will be higher than i expected just by looking at the buds.

All is going well. But noticed the top leaf tips turning brown, raised the lights and will keep an eye on it. Apart from that it has been a standard week.

A very hot week, the temperatures have been verry high and there really isnt much i can do. The plant is holding on, hoping for better weather soon. I have been looking at info online and decided to keep to my plan, so another week or maby a little more of flushing till i chop.

improper drying . Give us a bit more info next time. But the hay smell comes from the weed not being dried properly or it isn't dried completely and still has chlorophyll that didn't break down . Always remember to dry slowly as possible when cutting the plant down. Im alway looking for a 8 to 11 day drying in my tent with humidity being 50-60% i mostly have 50%-60% depends if my humidifier in the room works. You can generally add a small fan on the bottom to circulate the air inside the tent (never point the fan directly on ur buds) i usually dont and only run my carbon filter . The temps should also be between 18-21c i think thats 60-70 in fahrenheit . MY last drying had temps 23-24-25c inside the tent and it dried up nicely. Or easily if you feel the weed is dry crisp whatever and its been 3 days or so of drying or anything under 8 days it wasnt dried good. My method is simple. 1.Chop 2.Hang the whole plants depends on the size 3.Check temps and humidity Every day and regulate them if necessary 4.On day 8 feel the buds if they are sticky/dry . Also bend a stem or 2 if they bend nicely and you can kinda feel they are dry. 5. If not wait a few more days 6.Check buds and stems again (if they break dont worry you didnt do anything wrong) 7. Cure them in glass jars (i also add INTEGRA BOOST 55% humidity packet) 8. Don't forget to BURP the jars . PS: Before i forget ur weed isn't ruined just put it in a jar and everyday it's going to smell better . Just needs a bit more time to break down the chlorophyll . bye <3
