First Grow/Mini Grow/TangerineDreamAuto

D72: 🏁👉 Aaaaaaaaaaaaand that's all folks! What a beautiful journey this was. I learned a lot and really got excited for being a plant daddy. The plant turned out beautiful, but not what I originally hoped for. What now happens is a week long flush season and then the much anticipated chop o'clock. ❌ I made several mistakes looking back. Here are few that come into my mind at this point: - 🌱 Autoflower. I shouldn't have gone with autoflower to begin with, it wasn't easy to control it as I was trying to control my very limited space at the same time. Timing issues here and there. Tried to stretch the vegetation phase when it wasn't simply possible. - 🌡️ Heat. I misjudged the amount of heat that the LED strips produced. I went few weeks with the lights just being too low and damaged the leaves a bit. - 🌊 Overwatering. Thinking my issues were with nutrients and not the actual cause (heat), I flushed the soil couple of times causing unfortunate overwatering at the same time. - 😧 Stress. I caused un needed stress to the plant while I still had to LST/HST while in early flowering phase. I also transitioned from veg to flower by not just flipping the light switch from 16/8 to 12/12 overnight. Instead I did the transfer gradually. This probably caused slower transition for the plant as well. - 🍼 Nutrients. I should have reacted to the late flowering phase deficiency of Cal/Mag more quicker. I saw last week that the CalMag really had an effect and slowed down the yellowing of the leaves. - 💧 pH'd water. I should have done it from the beginning. But hey, you live and learn, right? Like mentioned, I learned a ton of new skills and I'm quite confident that my next grow will be much better. ⭐ What I was most proud of, was the space management, even with the heat issues. The heat issue could also have been managed if I'd just acted quicker. But I managed to get a decent yield with just 60x60x40 tent ❗❗❗ The thing was entirely unnoticeable by people who visited my home. If something, the inline fan could have been with slighty lower volume, but other than that: Just awesome 😎 I will definitely do this again after summer. D85: 👉 Last update before chop o'clock. The buds have swollen a bit still after the last update and "hairs" have switched color. 🌊 I've been flushing my baby for 2 weeks now, first with normal watering amounts with pH'd water for a week. During the first week I took a little teaser off the baby for a taster. I turned out to be just a little rough for the throat, so I figured second round of flush will definitely do it. 🌊 Flushed it properly with it being basically under the water tap (water not touching buds ofc), until runoff was almost clear. It's now been drying from that operation for 3 days. I assume it will be dry tomorrow and I'll leave it in the dark for about 24h before chop. So, 2 days and it's ✂️🌲-time! Can't wait! 😎
