Sickone The seeds were planted in the soil to germinate on 04/08, and 3 days later, 2 out of 3 have germinated and have seen the "daylight."
Seedling number 4 came 2 days later with some initial difficulties; the seed shell was shed, but there was another shell around the seedlings that it finally dropped today.
Week 1: 04/08 - 04/15
18/6 light cycle
Light distance 30cm (China LED 100w currently - Mars Hydro FC 1500 coming soon)
LUX 7000 in 18h
16DIL 18h
Temperatures between 24 and 28 degrees after a full 18h of lighting.
Humidity maintained between 50 and 69%.
On 04/13, I added a small fan but didn't point it directly at the plants; instead, I aimed it at the walls so the air could bounce off, allowing the little ones to slowly but surely get used to it.
To maintain humidity a bit, I also hung a damp disinfected cloth at the top of the tent and keep it moist as needed since I don't want to subject my autoflowers to repotting yet, and the "dome" has become too small to regulate humidity that way.
Status after the 1st week
The two big ladies have now grown nearly 5cm tall and are already starting to develop their 2nd pair of leaves.
The little lady has recovered well from her initial difficulties; she currently measures a good 3.5cm and seems to be focusing on the development of her leaf pairs.

PPFD value is cranked up to 225-250
Lux is adjusted from 7k to about 8,500 - 9,000 in 18H
Lamp distance remains the same for now as I think the leaves are developing excellently.
Temperature is kept between 25 and 27 degrees during the day with a constant humidity of 65%+
Today, on the third day of the week, I decided to plant the ladies in their final pot, as I was advised to do so several times and unfortunately, I should have avoided this mistake from the start.
- If I go for autoflowering again, I will put them directly in the final pot -
A good 48h after repotting, there is a noticeable improvement in the foliage, in my opinion, they have handled the repotting well so far.

Sickone Here we go into the next week, all the ladies are making excellent progress in width. Additionally, the distances of the new branches are relatively small and even.
Current setup:
18/6 cycle
60-75% humidity
Temperatures are regularly between 20 and 25 degrees.
The fan runs daily for 10 hours, but still directed against the wall so that the air can bounce off, and not until 2 hours after the lights are turned on, as I believe the ladies shouldn't start the day directly with stress :)
Also, one plant (which is probably a different strain based on its appearance) is developing a strongly recognizable Haze smell that makes me smile every time I visit her! :)
PPFD: 470
DLI: 30.5
LUX: 18,000
Kelvin: 5100
I haven't used any nutrients yet since they are still freshly repotted, and according to the information from other growers, the Biobizz Light mix has enough nutrients for 2-3 weeks.
Edit: 04/27/24 One lady looks sick :(

This week, I need to take a bit more care of the "sick" lady. After a long search and a lot of feedback here from the community, it turns out that the little one is likely suffering from a calcium deficiency.
The other two are feeling great though :)

Sickone The 4th week has begun, and the ladies are slowly but surely getting ready to shoot up in height.
From this week on, the humidity problems started, reaching even up to the 80% mark at times... (top floor apartment)
The fan was used regularly from this point on to at least keep the air somewhat circulating; additionally, I ventilated the tent completely every 2-3 hours.
Due to the delay this week, some info might be missing that I didn't jot down.

650-700 PPFD
40-45 DLI
The ladies have had a tough week with extremely high humidity and temperature.
Unfortunately, I also had to catch up on some things this week, which is why some info is missing here. Starting next week, it will be complete again.

Sickone Unfortunately, the last few weeks haven't been managed well on this site because I've lost track of the platform a bit due to constant upload and connection issues.
All the ladies are doing pretty well so far; 2 are already happily blooming and are probably entering the final phase, while the other one is slowly starting to stretch upwards.
Light: Mars Hydro FC evo 1500 / China LED with supposedly 700W (probably more like 100-150)
Added exhaust since the humidity has been extremely high the last few weeks, and the ladies haven't handled it very well.
Fertilized for the first time now on 05/13/24 with BioBizz Bloom / Grow / Top Max
PPFD: Between 950 and 1000
DLI: 60
I will edit the missing weeks; I still have all the pictures, etc.

Sickone Here we go into the next week.
The ladies were fertilized on Monday according to the BioBizz feeding schedule, and additionally, I cooked eggshells in water for the CalMag lady and used this as watering water.
All damaged leaves were removed from the CalMag lady. For the big ladies, I removed the yellow, dried leaves, but left the other yellow ones where there was still some green visible to avoid stressing them too much.
Furthermore, I increased the lamp distance by 5cm since some tips of the leaves above have turned brown. (Precautionary measures)
All damaged leaves were removed from the CalMag lady again today (Sunday, 26.05). It's interesting to see that mostly the new sun leaves are affected. But she is also starting to produce clear stigmas, and the typical bud stretch is beginning with her as well; let's see what else she will become.
Not much has changed with the two big ladies; they are gradually shedding the unnecessary leaves. When looking from above at the stigmas, you can already see slight signs of buds. I suspect that during the next week, the buds will become clearly visible. Let's be surprised.

All the ladies were fertilized again today according to the feeding schedule, but from now on without BioBizz Bio Grow based on recommendations.

Additionally, I helped the lady by removing all the dried leaves.
I'll be curious to see how they do in the final stretch.

Sickone The probably last week of the 1st Lady begins.
The other two Ladies are clearly lagging behind, but I'm happy to give them the extra time and care.
Fertilization was done normally according to the schedule, additionally, my calmag Lady is now getting calmag for the 2nd time, maybe she'll bounce back too.
Saturday 15.06.24
The first Lady was harvested today and hung up to dry in the prepared cabinet; I've chosen the Dry Trim method, which is why I haven't processed her further yet.
Dies war mein erster Grow der mir selbstverständlich erstmal die Pflanze näher bringen sollte.
Trotz einiger Fehler die ich gemacht habe ( 3x Lampen Wechsel , Lichtabstand am Ende deutlich zu Nah, zu wenig aber dafür zu oft gegossen etc. die ganze Palette eben) bin ich stand jetzt vom Ergebnis überrascht. Die Blüten sind sehr Harzig und haben ein fantastisches Aroma zum Smoke selbst kann ich noch nichts sagen da die Blüten erstmal Fermentiert werden. Wenn sie nur minimal so schmecken wie sie riechen bin ich hier voll und ganz zufrieden!

Sickone Die 1. Pflanze wurde am Tag 68. geerntet da viele Blätter aufgrund des zu nahen lampenabstand gelitten haben und ich mir unsicher war ob es klug ist sie noch länger zu ziehen.
Gesagt getan die Pflanze wurde geerntet und kopfüber in den Schrank gehangen. Gute 7 Tage später habe ich sie weiter verarbeitet ( Getrimmt ) und die fertigen Blüten ab in die Gläser zum Aushärten gegeben.
Smoke Bericht folgt sobald alles fertig ist.
Sickone It's going into week 11
The lady is happily blooming away, even the CalMag lady is slowly but surely developing small buds.
According to the feeding schedule, no more nutrients will be added this week, but since I only started from week 5, they will get "Week 4" from the feeding schedule at the beginning of this week.
I'm very curious to see how much longer the ladies will need from now on. For the first grow so far, it has been very worthwhile to gain new experiences that I've directly incorporated into my next round.
The already harvested lady is comfortably hanging in the closet to dry at a temperature of about 20-21 degrees and a humidity of 47-55%.
So far so good!🥦💚
Update 20.06.24
Today I felt the urge to check on the lady in the closet again; the main stem cracked when bending while others weren't quite ready yet. Nevertheless, I completed the trimming process today and put the buds into 2 jars for curing.
On the scale after trimming, it was around 32G.
Now I'm adding 8g Boveda 58% to the jars to support the fermentation process; in the next few days, I will regularly open the jars and check the buds for mold.
Aroma very fruity fresh
extremely resinous and sticky
I'm excited about the result and the first smoke; feedback will follow, of course, as soon as the fermentation is done.🥦

Sickone The probably last/second to last week for the two ladies.
I skipped the fertilizing; they now get 500ml of pH-reduced water every 2-4 days, between 6.3 and 6.5.
More info on how it develops will follow throughout this week:💚🥦
The first buds from the first lady are already manicured and happily fermenting away.
Edit Wednesday 26.06 24
CalMag lady was harvested today (Day 80) and trimmed right away since she hardly had any leaves left, I opted for the wet trim method here. Final wet weight with stems was around 200g.

Sickone New week, day 85 for the lady.
I took her out of the tent today and put her in the closet; she'll stay there for the next 48 hours because I also came across this method where darkness just before harvest is supposed to encourage the plant to give it one last push and produce extra resin.
