Nothing to crazy yet, but quick run down, Solodiol less than 1% thc strain from Elite Seeds (light grey 3 gal pots the ones with no handles) testing at 20% CBD. I'm growing other strains but for the sake of the grow diary we will be focusing on the Solodiol as I'm interested in putting out a diary for some serious CBD medicine for those interested in checking it out.
Still no nutes, Using roots organic soil which is light and but to hot, which I prefer with autos. I won't start nutes until end of week three as between the bat guano, worm castings and other items in the roots organic they get through veg without anything added. Autos get stressed very easy so less is more in my eyes
Did some topping early in the week, people say dont top autos and maybe you shouldn't listen to me, but I have great success with it. I do week 2-3 based on # of nodes
So as some of the pics say. I scrapped a plant with nitrogen def. and tried adjusting the lights on an angle and blah blah blah. Its a learning curve. You can only gain so much info from google. Its hands on where we make our most growth....pun intended. Time for flowring nutes
So things going well. Switched to flower nutes. , stilll sticking with the feed water water as recomended for soil and so far so good. My well water comes out at 7.0 so minimal need for adjustments. some minor ph down at times to hit the sweet spot. I've been adjusting to keep runoff at about 6.5. PPM in the 400-600 range which from research seems perfect for this stage of growth. Also been messing around with light distance. Having t5's I try to keep the lights as close as possible for good intenisity.
Not much more to report other then the few pics. I haven't changed anything, feed the same, water the same, temps the same, lights the same. Long story short i'm simply letting them blossom :)
Harvest is soon! can't wait. These girls have been awesome all along. Just a quick shoutout to the breeder because it was not in the drop down list hence the "custom breeder and strain" selection, but its Elite' Seed Company. They have a ton of high CBD and little THC. Something I feel has not been accomplished by too many, so if you are looking for some high 20% CBD ranges check them out. As mentioned I have other plants in my tent, but wanted to make this about the CBD since I don't see a ton of journals on them. Other strain ready to harvest is red poison and I have NL and and another Elite Seed strain limonette haze, I just started the haze 2 weeks later due to bad germ the first time around and the NL Auto is just a longer strain, probably more towards week 10-12
Its time for the flush! One comment I wanted to make also is check out the pic. The single cola, the 4 colas and on the right the 8 smaller ones. I wanted to mess with topping and see what my harvest wet/dry weights were to see truly how much of a difference it makes with yield. The single cola is the fatest but will the 4 colas that are taller and thinner weigh more? Thats what I want to know so I can structure future grows. The front left in the pic is the purple poison I have mentioned as you can see by the yellowing of the leaves shes ready and is also being flushed. I also checked trichs and I sit at about 20% on everything showing amber. The rest are cloudy. Also I don't think I mentioned it anywhere, but this is my first grow. I research and research again. My tent is setup 100% as best as possible with fans, filters intake exhaust. I did my research on autos and nutes so I have gathered a ton of info before I started and have learnt a lot more during the course of this so if anyone has any questions, ask away as I feel this is hugely successful for a first attempt. My one other grow was outdoors and basically a buddy gave me plants 3 weeks into veg so that was just an experiment on the fly with no knowledge about things, so this is my first all chips in indoor grow.

Week 9. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
CBD Solodiol Auto Flower - Custom Breeder & Strain
Super satisfied for my first attempt. All in all it was about 8-1/2 to 9 weeks for harvest. Probably could have given them a bit longer to really dense up, but that could be in my head too as some strains simply are not as dense. Especially being sativa dominant. Far from airy buds and as the cure more I bet they tighten up even more. super satisfied with my first grow and am germinating for my second now. I still have a NL and Limonette haze in the tent finishing up as well, but this strain out of the 3 I had was the healthiest and required the least amount of attention. I'll give it a B based on the fact that it is known to not be a high yielder genetically, but 14-20% cbd and less then 1% thc is a feat in itself. Would recommend Elite to anyone looking for solid genetics that are not your run of the mill and more focused on CBD and medicinal properties0
