Germination
3 years ago
First time grower, starting to make a diary to document my path and maybe get some help along the way :) Sadly i dont have any pictures of germination. Pictures start in Week 1. I planted 2x Royal Haze Auto and 2x Think Different Auto directly into soil. (Marketed as "Gravesoil". Holds alot of water apparently, so i used a different, lighter soil for 2 of the 4 plants.) Seeds came up pretty quickly. I was very worried tho to overwater so i just tried misting them 2 times a day.

First time grower, starting to make a diary to document my path and maybe get some help along the way :) Day 9 is the first time with pictures (tho i think this counts as week 2 already?). I think the soil still holds a little much water (and im super afraid of overwatering), so since day 7 i water more in one go but only every other day. Im a little worried about the plants growth speed, since it seems a bit slow compared to other pictures ive found. The leaves on Think Different No. 1 seem a bit wonky, and the leave tips of Think Different No. 2 point straight down. (maybe genetics? because both look kinda similar with a little redish hue in their vains. Royal Haze looks good imo (but the growth might also be a bit slow for an auto??) Lighting is currently at 24/0. (2x hortiOne 592 190W) Temp measured at plant height: 22C - 27C Plans for the next days: Worry about everything :D

They are healthy but it may be a little bit cold for them. The temperature shouldn't come down below 18°c

Temperature and humidity were constant during that time. But i think the leaves look kind of leathery? What is going on here? Using only on 150W LED instead of 2 now to bring temperatures down to 23°C. Day 19: Noticed some clawing on one of the Think Different plants. I"ll keep an eye on it. They start to smell a little. :) Day 20: Nothing special. First time watered till run-off. Day 21: Last day of week 3. So far, they dont look too bad imo. I was thinking about changing the light cycle to 20/4 instead of 24/0

I going to water two times within 2 hours to make sure the soil took to water, because last time i watered it appeared that most of the water literally just went straight through the medium and out the bottom. Day 28: It seems like the watering was well needed :D

Is it normal for the plants leaves to droop a little right after watering (within 2 hours or so)? This is the second time i see this. Day 32 seems to be the most prominent so far.

I, too, grow autos under 24/7 and mine never droop unless they're either thirsty or have been overwatered... since they're drooping on you right after you water them, I'd say you're not letting them dry out enough between waterings. Make sure the pot is super light before giving them another drink! You don't have to abide by a strict schedule.. i.e., every two days or whatever... let the plants tell you when they need something. Autos can withstand drought better than they can withstand overwatering so if I'm ever in doubt, I will wait until they start drooping on me and then give them water or feed (whatever is up next for them) and they respond happily after about an hour or two. And btw, do check out FreeCain's diaries (there aren't any) before you take advice! Good luck with your grow... it looks fabulous!

LST can really be done any time it's needed - the exception being if they're too young (i.e., before they have 3-4 nodes). I've had to do LST on my Tangerine Dream as late as 3 weeks before harvest! She was going to tear therough the top of my tent if I hadn't! When the LST has been in place for a while (couple of weeks?), it will become permanent and you can release it and use the material (whatever you've used) to use it elsewhere... Nice job, btw... the grow looks fab!

Is the one your having issues with the Auto or the Photoperiod? I would monitor the EC and PH of the runoff for some indicator on whats up. If you not watering till runoff then make a note of how strong the feeds are. Autos do not like feed as strong as photoperiods. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/med-man-method-feeding-chart-ppm-ec.47856/ I like to use this as a reference point for most autos but still need to look at your plant and see if its saying more or less. FYI, biobizz is best if left to stand out overnight then ph adjusted if needed, it tends to drift down over some time. Good Luck!

You should look for trichome on FLOWER not on leaves. Leaves mature earlier. take care with that not to harvest too soon.

Many things going on here. Well yes you could have been overfeeding, your other plants are already showing brown tips indicating that. Your EC(PPM) is like 0.8-1.3 thats not that high for flowering, even for autos( i did even 2.3 lol with lots of only watering) but still you should check up on your soil, Try to flush and see what is happening in your medium(soil) but that is not the only issue here in my opinion. You had most definitely a heat and light problem as well, look at the leafs. and when you found out, i can only gues you lifted your lights? What will happen? the buds will stretch, you get thoose fox tail looking buds from both things ;) Look at week 10, picture 4, plant behind this one, that plant is already foxtailing because of that decision. Sure foxtailing can be genetics but i don't think so with your plants. What happend with this plant cannot be undone but you still can harvest her when she is ready, but just don't make decisions for this plant that can screw up others. You also should give your plants a time to rest. Sure 24hours a day can be done but you should do like 18-20 hours a day, your plant will love it more. As for your lights, there is not a perfect height from lamps to plants with leds but since you use like 150watts, 60-70cm might be to high. Just make sure you don't run 24hours a day, have 27degrees temperature, then you can lower your lamps for better compact buds. You can try to make your filter run faster, inflate fresh colder air, make your fans blow better on your cantopy. Goodluck growing :) Goodluck growing.

I missed quite a few weeks on this one. Yesterday i harvested one Royal Haze and one Think Different. The other two plants will be harvested in the next days. I already started to flush last week. I build a custom dry room for the plants. 2 oscillating fans and a vent fan with a filter. Humidity and temperature a very constant, around 18C (64F) and 60%. Update: The other two remaining plants have been harvested. I cut them down and hung them in the dry room. Its getting full in there, the way i set up the lines is not perfect. But for now it hangs :) Big Boys Wet weight was over a kilo, i wonder how much they loose during drying... 80%? 90%?

What do you guys think of my custom dry room? It is build in the basement, constant 18C (64F) and 60%. It has a big inlet on the left side of the tent with netting, 2 oscillating fans blowing above and below the buds, and an extraction fan + filter. Any improvements?

Your lucky to have such consistent temp/humidity. Your front door looks to be transparent. As long as the room your drying in does not have lights on or windows. You want to dry in complete darkness. Extraction fan is more then enough air circulation. A single fan below you would be hitting max airflow. Both is overkill. All you are doing is avoiding stale air. a small computer fan is enough. I would also make a small drying screen, for any small buds that are difficult to hang. Binder clips work well for larger buds that don't have a stem to hang off of.
