//for this growth I will not use the additives cause I am using the Plagron Royal mix and I made a holes in the middle of the soil where I added a water glass of the Plagron Light mix in which I actually planted the seeds.
//will grow plants only by watering cause the soil has all nutrients for the next three months, but will add nutrients if I notice that plants need them.
17.4.
//on the 5th day three plants came out from the soil. Two of them are 1cm height and the 3rd one came out couple of hours later so it is less than 1cm height;
//The 4th one I am still waiting to crack the seed membrane;
18.4.
//on the 6th day the 4th plant is born :)
19.4.
//on the 7th day first three plants are around 1,5 cm weight, and the fourth one is around 1cm weight;
20.4.
//humidity over night felt on 50% so I put bucket with water inside of the tent and humidity increased on 61%;
22.4.
//Babies are looking nice except the 3rd plant. It looks like her leafs stopped developing. I will have special attention on the 3rd plant. Also, I started with nutrients:
* HESI Power Zyme added 2ml per liter of water
* HESI Root added 2ml per liter of water
25.4. ⚠️⚠️⚠️
//I saw some flying bugs. I hope that those bugs are not fungus gnats cause I had problem with them in growth before this one. I managed to get rid of them but I had to use strong pesticides. I tried using Neem oil but it didn't solve the problem. And I wouldn't be very happy if those insects happened to me again. I'll be on standby.
27.4.//Definitely those flying bugs were Fungus gnats. The soil was infected even I bought it in the store. So I had to use the insecticide which I'll attach as a photo; There is great natural replacement for this poison - Neem oil mixed with Hydrogen peroxide but unfortunately I couldn't find pure Neem oil in my country.

//plants are looking healthy and beautiful. Each plant has a fourth tier of leafs; Each plant is 5cm tall.
4.5.//finally I've got two more lights and now each plant is covered by 100w led light; Humidity began to rise as the plants also began to grow and humidity reached 62%;
7.5.
// my babies are entering the third week and they are looking stunning; The leafs are green and bigger. Plants are straight and their scapes are getting thicker and stronger with each day; This is my first time growing the autoflowers and I am very excited about it; Also, I am thinking to add some Hesi nutrients for vegetation phase. I will be careful and monitor whether their leafs and their color indicate a lack of nutrients; What I realized is that humidity had dropped on the low level (32%) so I took couple of wet towels and I left them on the floor of the grove box to rise the humidity;
9.5.
// I noticed a yellow color starting to appear on the edge of the leafs and this tells me that my plants are probably deficient in Nitrogen or Potassium so I added Hesi TNT and Hesi Boost; I will continue to check on them several time per a day to see if there is any improvement. The leafs started to curl on the edges too;
12.5.
//Things are not getting better. I'm not sure if plants sufficient or deficient in Potassium or Nitrogen and what is the cause of it;

"..You got to lose to know how to win.."
With this being said I finally figured out what I have done to my beauties. Unfortunately, in the one moment I thought that they stopped growing and I was passing by a many profiles on the network to see if I missed something. As this is my first autoflowering, occupied by my worries about plants, I thought that the nutrients in the soil are not enough for my plants. In a very big wish to help them to continue their growth - I added the nutrients. And what I have done?
This: NUTRIENT BURN!
"..The worst-case scenario is a chronic overdose that causes crop-wide yellowing and wilting overnight with leaf curl and lack of turgidity."
The advice from Royal QUEEN seeds: "In this case, if during the vegetative phase, start again. Recovery may be impossible or take longer than restarting completely."
As I'm not someone who is giving up easy - I'll try to recover my babies. I am starting watering them with clear water again pH 6.4 to try to remove the acidity of the roots. Hopefully I won't see them dieing in the morning. ✨🌱

//Nothing changed on the plants. I haven't noticed any new yellow spot or any new leafs burned. I'll check them in the morning and I'll water them with clear water pH 6.4;

// It was a very big fight to save these girls alive from the nutrition burn. I stopped with any nutrition and I gave them only the clear water with custom pH. Two of them has stopped with growing but two of them didn't. Finally, they have a big buds and the smell is very strong and nice. I had some help in the beginning, but the rest I've done on my own. So, for my first growth with the autoflowers I am grateful.
It is a very strong strain cause those plants survived a nutrition burned in the period of vegetation. It was such a big stress for those beauties that they started producing the seeds. At the end they gave a beautiful buds, with very strong smell and even better influence. I am very happy and proud cause this growth is successful.
