msnl Auto magnum 1st grow

Mnbuds Sprouting on August 10th after 3 days of germinating. Collected bunch of rain water for watering. Ph is 6.3. 23 ppm is rain water. Runoff is 2500 with ffof.

Mnbuds Same as week one. Watered when soil dried out every 3 to 4 days. Kept humidity high. 75%

Mnbuds Lowered humidity. Water until I get runoff. Ppms of runoff still around 2500.

Mnbuds Started lst. Watering to runoff. Ppm still over 2000 in runoff.

Mnbuds Preflowering. Added small dehumidifier in tent to lower RH. Have to water 1 liter per day. Also defoliated some big fan leaves. 11 of them. Didnt hurt this strain one bit. Also added I teaspoon of Tiger bloom per 2 liters of rain water which bumped my ppms in water to 550. Lowered the ph inmy water to 4.5 so had to add black magic Ph up to get water solution to 6.4. Also switched light to veg and bloom.

Mnbuds Defoliated again this week. This strain handles it well. I know some people say don't do with autoflower, but this strain is super bushy. Water every other day 1 liter. Feed 2 times a week and bring water up to 1000ppm with nutes. I use rain water and try and get it to 6.3 ph before watering or feeding. Looking good so far. Hopefully I don't f it up. 1st grow. Can't even smoke it because of my job lol, but fun hobby.

Mnbuds Bumped my feeding ppm up to 1500. Still watering 1/2 gallon every other day and feed twice a week. Ph up is for water as tiger bloom lowers my ph quite a bit the more you add. Defoliated this week again. Just using tiger bloom and rain water and adjusting my ph. Dropped humidity to around 45%. 71 degrees. Everything is looking great. 👌

Mnbuds Looking pretty good for my first grow. Buds are fattening up. Ran out of rain water so had to get some ph down for well water. Been having to water or feed every other day been feeding about 1800 ppm of tiger bloom with a water flush in between. 1/2 gallon gets me some runoff to check ppm and ph in soil. Been letting soil dry out in between. Hopefully everything finishes up good. Looking forward to next 2 to 3 weeks.

Mnbuds Did 1 more defoliation last week to get more light on lower bud sits. Going to do one more heavy feed tomorrow than onto flushing for last week or two. This plant eats nutes like crazy. Been feeding 1500 to 2000 ppm with tiger bloom, and just straight ph water to 6.3 in-between feedings. Buds are fattening nicely. Very sticky and strong smell. Looking forward to harvesting. Very happy I picked this strain for my first grow.

Mnbuds Day 70 has arrived. Did my first flush yesterday. Ppm on runoff was still 1450. Other growers have harvested this strain around day 75. Also cut a bunch of fan leaves yesterday. Couple more flushes and maybe try the 24 to 48 hour dark period to fatten buds up a lil more. Waiting on trichomes. Very happy with 1st grow! Stinky and sticky!

Mnbuds 1 more day of dark I will be chopping it down on day 78 tomorrow. Flushed 5 times over 12 days with ph adjusted water and I could only get the ppm of the runoff down to 1000. Let it dry out before each flush. Time to chop, trichomes are all cloudy and small % is amber. Should have maybe started flushing earlier. Hope I don't get the harsh taste everyone talks about. Only nute I have used is Tiger bloom. I will post pics again after I dry trim. Thanks for everyone's help with questions!

Mnbuds Thanks to everyone who answered questions. I came out with 116.53 grams a little over 4 ounces off 1 plant. Very satisfied for my 1st grow. My goal was 3 ounces. Some buds are pretty dense and some are fluffy. Smell is awesome. Dried whole plant for 6 days in the dark then trimmed. Curing now. Unfortunately i cant smoke very often because of my job, but i will have friends test it out. One thing I would maybe do differently is trim fan leaves before drying, but I left them on since my basement is so dry this time of year. Easy strain to grow, can be defoliated easily, no plant shock, I transplant this plant in the beginning, no shock. Recommend doing lst for higher yield. Going to start another one in a couple weeks. Good strain for 1st timers, just watch ppms and ph. Don't over water. 18 to 6 light schedule. Thanks again for those who helped with my questions.
