Finishing up my first attempt at Auto Flower. Just discovered the site and am looking for feedback. I will start by outlying my tent setup. 1x Vivosun 2-in-1 36x48x72 inch Mylar tent 1x Vivosun 8" 740 CFM in-line vent fan 1x 1500W equivalent LED (full spectrum) 2x 1000W equivalent LED (full spectrum) 1x 8" high velocity fan for airflow & low stress training 2x 5 gallon fabric pots. 1x STC-3028 Temperature & Humidity Hygrometer/Thermostat Controller 1x Light Timer 1x 1 gal cool mist humidifier. Tent is vented outside. I don't use a carbon filter because it's legal here and doesn't stink up the house venting outside. The STC-3028 hygrometer and thermostat device keeps my tent pretty steady. I left the variable speed selector on the Vivosun blower at high and, and wired a plug in outlet to a Leviton wall light dimmer switch to control the ventilation blower. Using a dimmer switch gave me the flexibility to use the alternate leg for auxiliary control to wire into the temperature relay on the STC-3028 thermostat. This let's me kick the exhaust up to 100% when temperature exceeds 86°F (30°C), then brings the exhaust speed back down to my preset level when it gets back to 77°F or lower. Likewise, I have the Hygrometer relay wired up to a wall plug outlet, and this controls the humidifier. If anyone is curious about my setup, please ask! I've adopted an 18/6 light cycle. I sprout directly in the 5 gallon fabric pots by fully saturating the soil and then just barely pushing the seed under the soil. I then cover the fabric pots with white translucent plastic bags and put them under the grow lights for greenhouse effect. They will stay under the plastic until the first couple of nodes branch out, keeping the humidity at 100%. This saves the need for running my household-grade humidifier at levels it wasn't designed to run at. Nutrients are all Fox Farm's basic trio: Grow Big, Big Blooms, and Tiger Bloom. Using Fox Farm Happy Frog soil. Added about 1 solo cup of perilite per 5 gallon pot of soil to retain moisture. Plan to give give nutrients every other feeding. Following FF's soil schedule.

Based on this week's pictures, does anyone have a guestimate for approximate time to completion? I'm monitoring it closely, checking trichromes every other day...

I want to say anywhere from 1 week to 2.5 weeks. I don't see any amber but it could be because of the background redness and my shity monitor. just like how @ezzjaybruh said depending on what you aiming for in terms of high, more amber more couch lock less amber to no amber more heady or cerebral. Best of luck!

Can someone explain what these oily sites are popping up all over my buds 4 days into drying? They looked like beads of water, but upon further inspection they are thick sticky oil? Haven't trimmed any leaves off yet...

I just completed my first grow with Happy Frog Soil. Soil PH is high after the grow. I'm experimenting with dropping it down to 6.5 after. Right now I'm using coffee and earthworms in 2 of the 4 fabric pots. Do you recondition soil, or replace w/ new soil?

If you want to reuse the medium over a few times it needs to go though a phase where it composts a bit and is ready for new life. It then needs to be fortified with minerals and organic matter that was lost in the last grow. One quick way of doing this is to toss it into a pressure cooker and zap it so its sterile and then fortify it. More life will be needed in the soil like worm castings or you will run into problems with this method as the pressure cooker is killing most of the life in the soil, good and bad. Its not like the earth outside is getting new soil, when farmers grow they cycle crops and refortify the soil with manure/green manure. When we grow with much smaller amounts of soil we need to really add a lot more into it as we don't have the luxury of it being outside. To make it stupid simple toss your old soil in the garden and grow some tasty veggies with it, get new stuff when you want. I myself plan on reusing my medium a few times and will compost it in batches on my deck in a black garbage bag before incorporating it into the garden. Best Of Luck!

@Kynareth, thank you for the kind words! It's my first attempt at autoflower. So far so good!. Just using a fan on high for low stress training, no topping. With autoflower I didn't know if it was safe to top the plant or if that would cause it to freak out and flower prematurely. I think I will top the next grow at week 4 and see if I can get that cool candelabra effect that other growers seem to be having so much success with. Cheers, and happy growing to you!

Nice clean run. Great show of patience. Maybe 18hrs of light/day delayed the ripening? Curious to see what they look like after a couple days of darkness.

@PapaGGenetics, glad your site is back up. I got your seeds from 928 Grow in Cottonwood. Looking forward to another grow with your seeds sometime soon. On a side note, your Blueberry-X Big Devil, I smoked with a co-worker (coincidently at the Payson Casino) and he said it was one of the best strains he's ever smoked!
