This is my second round w/ Seedsman Auto Lemon and I can tell ya that each run produced a significantly different product. The bud I harvested from my first pump was SUPER piney - almost overwhelmingly so - and frankly wasn't my favorite, whereas this harvest carries subtle pine, w/ a strong note of licorice, and notes of lemon/citrus. Small buds, but hey, it was a freebie! 😁

Coast of Maine is on-point w/ their products. Simple and clean series of grow mediums/amendments. Customer service responds in under a day -- Small team, but great folks. Highly recommended.

I couldn't wait for a full two weeks of cure because I wanted to share these gnarly aromatics a couple days early!
Results: 85g premium flower, 105g trim (infused w/ coconut oil), 18.6% THC (TCheck). Didn't wet weigh, so reported wet figures aren't accurate.
Bud Structure: A little fluffy, but all good. Definitely hardened up during the cure. Good trichome dev; medium stickiness. Super hairy.
Smell/Taste: After sampling the mess, I was taken away by her smell. Hits the nose w/ a light pine, then transitions to a *heavy* licorice, w/ a touch of lemon/citrus, and a slightly skunky finish. Complex and beautiful! Love it.
Ash: White and light, baby!
Full grow break-down below:
*A touch of Recharge w/ every watering after Week 3.*
*Active LST from Week 3 onward.*
Week 1: Distilled water.
Week 2: pH'd water.
Week 3: pH'd water, 1/4 Cup fish bone meal and 1/2 Cup worm casting top-dress.
Week 4: Begin Cal-Mag (1 ml/g) every watering.
Week 5: 1/4 Cup fish bone meal top-dress.
Week 6: pH'd water.
Week 7: 1/4 Cup fish bone meal top-dress.
Week 8: 1/2 Cup worm casting top-dress.
Week 9: 1/4 Cup fish bone meal top-dress.
Week 10: pH'd water.
Week 11: pH'd water.
Week 12: pH'd water/chop.
Dry: 60% RH @ 60F for two weeks.
I learned that I should use a fan while drying only if *absolutely necessary*, as top buds can dry out before the rest of the plant. I was extremely concerned about her lack of smell during the dry, but she came around beautifully while curing.
As a beginner grower, I'm still dialing in my grow routine. This being my second organic grow, I wanted to keep things super simple and see how things went. As you can see, I didn't employ a smorgasbord of amendments, just stuck to a low-key line-up through Coast of Maine. The only thing missing is potassium, as shown in her flower dev. I purchased Angel's Touch to amend more K during my next grow.
All in all, I'm happy where I'm at and looking forward to growing some premo bud w/ Square One Genetics. Will include compost teas as part of my feed line-up.

TS1000 (150W x 2), set to 75% at 12-14". "Photone" app (yes, not as good as a PAR reader) reads 580-700 PPFD, so I sense these girls aren't getting as much light as they could. I've read that pushing 900 PPFD is desired (CO2 bags);fan leaves curled. How should I think about this?

Focus too much on any 1 area and you will overlook the other 8. All 9 cardinal rules of plant growth must run in perfect balance. If any 1 single rule is working at 10% efficiency then it all runs at the10% bottleneck. Cannabis is a "weed" until it flowers. It will grow in almost any condition. What we aim for is optimal conditions for photosynthesis and equilibrium across the board. Light saturation is not the only determining factor in photosynthesis throughput. Temperature or LST leaf surface temperature, studies have shown optimal photosynthesis occurs at 86-87. But be careful as trichomes degrade at 87 and above. Also to note terpenes and flavinoids will start to degrade above 67 so keep that in mind after ripening stage. I personally run ambient 84 with lights on get it as close to your plants until top of canopy sits around 86.
Leaf structure and formation look crisp and clean, colors look nice. Try hitting the sweetspot for her Temps, screw manufacturers recommended they just wanna cover their asses from liability. Most distance measures for lights are based off of hid with most guides telling you 77 is best but that's playing it safe. The plant is not here for a long time but she does want a good time. Warm her up and watch those droopy depressed leaves dance.
Increase air circulation if you can, extra heat will really push up perspiration, increase water as needed.

Being VERY critical (top-notch cannabis in-mind), how do my plants look? Looking for constructive criticism! Any signs of stress/deficiencies? Week 8 flower, trichs transitioning clear to cloudy (40:60%). I don't want to grow "good" cannabis; I want the best! :)

Definitely have some chlorosis on the margins. Probably a some micro deficiency. Also looks like potassium.
If you want the very best possible bud start growing photoperiod plants. Autos just aren’t there yet IMO
Bud looks great tho.
I’m not a soil grower so can’t comment much on what you have going for feeds at this point.. but I don’t think castings, meal, n calmag are quite a well rounded feed.

Clear deficiency ("Fall colors") -- P or K def? Looking for future advice.
Happy Frog soil 5gal, Coast of ME amendments (fish bone meal 1/4cup every 2 wks, EW castings 1/2 cup 3 times), recharge (every water), organic cal-mag (1/2ml every water).1st run-off pH check on 01APR: 8.5

This maybe the end of its life cycle. Its an auto and suggested harvest time is 10 weeks. Your diary is 8 weeks long and only covers when it started to bloom.
guessing there is 2-3 weeks unaccounted for, bring you to a total of 11weeks.
Check the trichomes on the plant and determine if its ready for harvest. This maybe natural cause of age and it being an auto.
I don't know if their is anything you would have been able to do.
Nitrogen would affect the lowest growth first and works its way up the plant. Potassium can show in tips of upper growth as well.
Good Luck!

How accurate do you think the TCheck device is? My Lemon tested 18.6%, BUT my Jock Horror tested 27.3%!!! 😯 JH advertises @ 15-20% on Seedsman. What is your best guess at what's going on here? I ran two (2) samples for a total of four (4) testing runs.

this is probably some shitty correlation used to guesstiate THC%.
unless you weigh original mass of plant material, than extract and isolate thc, weigh it and divide by original mass, there's no device that can skip these steps to determing % THC accurately...
Just as your phone can't be more than a cheap, suspect lux meter no matter what any app says otherwise...

@Cannabeast40, Hey! I just took a look at some of your diaries -- VERY impressive :) I'm having some concerning issues w/ aromatics that I map out in my Week 4 entry. If you have a moment, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
