Looking good so far with a 10€ Amazon full spectrum light and the cheapest soil I could get from Lidl. I'm using a closet wrapped with aluminium foil as grow tent.
Leaves started to grow bigger so definitely the 10€ light bulb is working, nevertheless I'm expecting to be much slower than what it should take to an autoflower to grow.
Took them outside because it was a sunny week, looking good so far. I take them outside as much as I can because I'm still worried that the 10€ light bulb won't be enough powerful.
Went away for 4 days so I watered them gently before I left. Because I'm using a cheap fan to input air in the closet some mold has appeared on the soil, but it was easy to remove with a spoon.
I'm putting them on the window whenever it's sunny because is very windy outside and the window acts like a greenhouse. They still growing very slowly, so I think it's time for an upgrade to a real grow tent with q decent led growing light. I wanted to keep this grow with a low cost and homemade equipment but I think is the only way of giving this plants a boost.
I dediced to buy a grow tent and a LED, and that definitely gave the plants the boost they needed, they've incremented their size and started flowering period. Unfortunately I'm going on holidays for 2 weeks, I won't be able to water them during this time so I'm preparing homemade gelified water with non flavored jelly, hope it works.
Came back from holidays and surprisingly the plants were looking great after 2 weeks without watering them, the gelified water did it's work. Flowers have gotten bigger and smellier.
I've stopped giving them fertiliser and did a root flushing 4 days ago. They are looking good, smaller buds of what could have been with the correct equipment and dedication but I can't complain. I don't have a magnifying glass so I'm basing myself on the pistils to know when to harvest. I think I'll give them one more week but everyone is welcome to give me advice, would love to receive feedback from more experienced people.
Some leafs are turning yellow which is a signal that the root flushing has worked. I've tried to see the trycomes with s magnifying glass but I don't see any turning ambar yet, the opposite with the pistils, most of them are already brown. At this point I don't know if I should harvest now or wait one more week.
I think I'll be cutting the plants in two days. I don't see a lot of orange trycomes so I don't know if I should wait for the next week. In one of the two plants some brown/black spots have appeared on the leaves (4th pic) and I don't know if it could be a pest that is attacking the plant, which is why I want to harvest them as soon as possible. If someone could tell me if it is a pest or not and if I should wait another week or not to cut them, I would appreciate it.
As everyone told me, I decided to let them grow for another week. I think I'll cut them this Monday, since I'm going on a trip and won't be able to keep an eye on them for a few days. Do you think they are ready now or that I should leave them even longer, personally it is still difficult for me to see orange trichomes but as I said, it would be difficult for me to wait longer since I am going on a trip.
