Thor20 Put seed in wet paper towel for two days, and then once sprouted, placed in a General Hydroponics rapid rooter plug with weak solution of Floraflex bloom 1. I have now planted the plug into the hydroton.

Thor20 After germination, I placed the rapid rooter plug into the hydroton basket in my 5 gallon DWC bucket under the lighting.
Plant is currently on a 20/4 lighting schedule at 50% power.

Thor20 Moved her into a new grow tent. Realized the 24"x24"x48" wasn't big enough, so bought a 48"x48"x80". Everything seems good so far. Decent growth and good color from what I can tell.

Thor20 Things are looking good as far as I can tell. Good growth, and looks like the bud sites are starting to form. I've heard autos can do this pretty early. I think I'm gonna start lst soon.

Thor20 Added LST to the mix. Due to some apparent iron deficiencies, I lowered PH to 6 and added calmag. Saw some major growth, which was welcome.

Thor20 Had a rough week with her, but I think we've turned a corner. Took some bad advice from reddit and lowered the PH while also upping the nutes. Ended up locking it out of iron even worse than it already was π not to mention some nute burn. Luckily I obsess over it, so I noticed right away and fixed my issues. I'll be more careful of who I take advice from.

Thor20 My leaves are getting green again. Seems it likes the changes I've made. Now just holding strong and possibly upping the nute strength. That said, I might just leave it. We'll see.

Thor20 Defoliated some dead leaves and a couple that were just in the way. Lowered my EC cause it was really burning the plant. I think I've got it dialed in cause it's not burning anymore and the bud leaves are coming in real green. I'm getting there! Also did a foliar feeding. Will do another this week.

Thor20 She's finally looking like she's mostly recovered from my abuse and is stacking on the bud! Can't wait to see how much she has at harvest!
Hey @thor20,
Thanks a bunch for growing our Russian Auto, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a nice weekend
You can quickly solve a nutrient deficiency in the growth phase by giving your plant mineral fertilizer (or sugar cane molasses if you are on organic line) as a foliar fertiliser. Vita Race from Plagron is a good organic product to solve your iron deficiency. I hope you rich harvest! πͺπͺπΌπͺπΎ
