This is my second grow and my first auto. Making this diary to improve my gardening. I watch/read and try to learn as much as I can but I don’t have a very experienced eye and make a lot of mistakes. I want to try to explain what I’ve done this grow and would appreciate any advice or tips(I’ll go back and update the diary and add pictures for the earlier weeks if anyone see’s this diary and wants to see earlier pictures as well)This is the last pictures I took of my auto Caramel Cream x Gelato from Humboldt and it’s 66 days old from germination and the grow hasnt quite went how I planned. So far I stressed the plant out more than I would’ve liked to and most of it was around the start of flower. I didn’t topdress as preemptively as I should’ve and the plant turned light green lower leaves yellowing let the medium get way too dry on more than a few occasions also at the start of flower . I snapped my main cola while trying to re adjust LST week1-2 of flower tried to tape it but snap was right next to node hard to tape but I tried and my tape job wasn’t very good and the top dried and died. (I think the plant was less willing to bend bc of the under feeding and poor watering practices but I’ll also just accept blame I should’ve been a lot more careful and slow). Also I topdressed 2 tsp of both dr earth homegrown and 2 tsp dr earth bloom 32 days from germination. When the plant didn’t really improve after the topdress 8 days later(which admittedly is not a lot of time to see improvement with organics) I topdressed again but this time I Topdressed 1 tbsp ewc, 1 tbsp homegrown and 1 tbsp bloom. Plant looked better a week after second topdressing but I watching lots of videos and reading about peoples dr earth topdress amounts and I knew I was not giving nearly as much in my Topdresses amount as other people and the plant looked better more green but it still looked a bit hungry (although admittedly not that many days had passed). 10 days after the last topdressing I Topdressed 3 tbsp bloom and 12 tbsp ewc about a week later plant looked great really healthy and green maybe a little too dark green. Now just 16 days after the last topdress(day 66 from germination) it’s fading and I think it’s a little bit early but I’m not sure at all, any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Decided to start dark period(24-48hrs) day 85 mostly milky not much amber maybe some amber on the sugar leaves. I wanted to go 90+days with this auto but I needed the space in the tent for my photos and she looks almost ready, would’ve liked to see a little more amber but nevertheless I haven’t grown much at all so don’t have too much preference yet on trichomes. I’ll chop in a day or two and dry in my smaller tent and hopefully it goes well, my first harvest I dried too fast in low humidity and wasn’t that pleased with the end result. This time I’m planning on lowering exhaust speed and to not be so scared of 50+humidity in drying area and raise it to around 60humidity after a few days. Can’t think of anything else to write, but I’ll update after the chop and dry and 🙏 hopefully all goes well.
