First Grow - Trying to F1 Autos

I Made a few mistakes this week but seemingly got it under control. I had insufficient light initially with the seedlings (too high and not enough light), so they got longer legs. I fixed the light, and then added a little bit of soil around two of them (and left plant #1 alone). Things are looking good and the Easy Boost nutrition I added to the soil seems to be working well enough for this week.

Wow, what a week! They really took off this week. I had to roll down the tops of the pots as the leaves started hitting them. They are wonderfully symmetric (no training yet). I was worried compared to other people growing the same strain that I was too far behind, but they are seeming to recover well. I've been using a raspberry pi, a bluetooth temperature/humidity monitor and a smart outlet to control a cheap heater and humidifier... but I'm still struggling with high humidity at night (no dehumidifier right now). Next week I'll get better ventilation working to see if that helps.

Day 23 June 19 saw some weird green coloring on the edges of plant 1 (and one other). Fed them the remaining boost nutes... Day 27 June 23 5am made nutrients and then pH to 6.5. fed plants with 600ml each. They seem very hungry and seemed to raise the branches without my help

Day 29 June 25 dawn fed 600ml of f water pH 6.6 Day 30 June 26 nutes 324ppm 6.55ph 600ml Day 32 June 28 water pH 6.45 1000ml Day 33 June 29 Fed one plant 400ml of water pH 6.5 Day 34 June 30th early Fed Bloom and Cal mag one ml pH 6.38 582 PPM 700ml each Day 34 June 30 raised plants on books to level canopy. Raised lights to about 21". Signs of light burn at the top Smell is definitely noticeable (no carbon filter used), but not bad (just leafy smell)

WOW - they stretched a lot!!! I thought they were going to stay super small Figured out how I messed up earlier -- I was ph balancing the water BEFORE nutrients. Got it fixed this week (to PH after adding nutrients) Day 36 July 2 fed water 600ml 6.5ph Day 36 July 2 just before night time the plants tops looked a little saggy.. adjusted the lights a bit higher Day 37 July 3 fes water 200ml 6.5ph... plants still look a little saggy at the top Day 38 July 4 am fed each plant 1L of bloom and calmag pH 6.6 and setup camera. Minor leaf tucking Day 39 July 5 am water pH 6.5 about 300ml each raised the light quite a bit (noticed pretty bad light burn Day 40 July 6 fed each 400ml of water 6.5ph Day 41 July 7 pH 6.33 540ppm bloom ao 1150ml each plant Day 42 July 8 ph6.38 400ml water

Trying to recover after last weeks light burn.... Then on Day + nutrient burn (living soil plus 50% of GH triow as a mistake). This week I gave them water only for a bit then 1/4 of GH trio Day 43 July 9 pH 6.8 300ml water added more books to even the canopy Day 44 July 10 2ml calmag 5ml micro 2.5ml grow 7.5ml bloom 6.7ph 700ppm Fed each plant 550ml Day 45 July 11, plants look a little wilted, going to wait before feeding Day 46 July 12 made nutes 5ml cal 5ml micro 2.5ml gro 7.5ml bloom 6.47ph 847ppm fed about 3L across the three plants, but fed more to #2 Day 48 July 14 fed nutes from previous batch 600ml each. Made a new batch 6.56ph and fed 800ml to each. 5ml calmag, 5ml micro 2.5ml gro, 7.5ml bloom.l per gallon Day 49 July 15 Added dehumidifier to keep humidity at 60%

More mistakes made (I'm so worried I'm killing them), but trying to tone everything down to recover. I'm staying with 25% of nutes for now Smell has increased. My whole basement has a very green "Plant" smell. It's less earthy now and more green. First floor only smells on occasion... No carbon filter used yet... Day 50 July 16 raised lights (saw a lot of light burn) and reduced power to 75%. fed 800ml water each (saw a bit of nutrient burn, slowing it down a bit) Day 52 July 18 #2 1100ml to each 2.5ml calmag, 2.5ml micro, 1.25ml gro, 3.75ml per gallon. pH meter issues 1L fed to each Day 54 July 20 fed each 1l of water Day 55 July 21 nut made 2.5ml calmag, 2.5ml micro, 1.25ml gro, 3.75ml bloom 6.36ph ppm 490 fed 1L each

July 23-29 Day 57 July 23 nut made 2.5ml calmag, 2.5ml micro, 1.25ml gro, 3.75ml bloom ph6.51 ppm Day 57 July 23 night increased the light to be at 100% from 75% Day 59 July 25 nut made 2.5ml calmag, 2.5ml micro, 1.25ml gro, 3.75ml bloom 6.42ph 542ppm fed 132l each Day 61 July 27 2.5ml calmag 2.5ml micro 1.25ml gro 7.5ml bloom 6.41ph 601ppm Day 63 July 29 2.5ml calmag 2.5 micro 1.25 grow 7.5ml bloom 6.55ph 615ppm fed each 1.2l

Days 64-70 July 30-Aug 5 - Bad nutrient burn and fully flushed the soil (crazy high ppm in the runoff Day 65 July 31 noticed significant nutrient butn. flushing plant 3 with 2.5l of 6.5ph 143ppm water... Runoff was 7ph 1737ppm. Runoff (fed 3l) plant 2 was 6.98ph 2641ppm. Runoff (fed 3l) plant 1 7.28ph 2643ppm Day 67 Aug 2 continuing flush. Water ph to 6.1 136ppm plant 3 fed 4l run off 7.1ph 1737ppm fed 3 l more pH still high PPM drop to 900 7.24ph... plant 2 fed 2 gallons through until ppm 883 7.19ph... plant 1 fed 2 gallons of 6.2ph... runoff eventually 786ppm 7.6ph Day 68 Aug 3 plant 1 smells strongly like terps Day 70 Aug 5 plants are very yellow, mixing nutes lightly 1.25ml floramicro 3.75ml florabloom 5.95ph 300ppm trying to keep ppm down

Trichrome watch continues! Some cloudy, some clear... waiting for ANY amber. Plants #1 and #3 are starting to show purple in the buds and sugar leaves (not sure if genetic or from flush) Day 71-77 Aug 5-11 Aug 8 1.25ml floramicro 3.75 florabloom 6.54ph 292ppm Fed 1.2L to each Aug 8 took a small bud (~1g) off plant 1. Dried it quickly in the oven at 75C for 30 minutes. Smoke was HARSH and green, but fantastic otherwise! Aug 10 1.25 floramicro 3.75 florabloom 6.48ph 248ppm

Day 79 - Aug 13 1.25 floramicro 3.75 florabloom 6.3ph 1.2L fed to each. light defoliation Day 80 - Aug 14 flush pH 6.53 fed 1.2L each. Light defoliation Day 82 - Aug 16 flush 6.56ph 119ppm fed 2.3L each Day 84 - August 18th harvest

I'm shocked and impressed at how much abuse from my mistakes (high PH, low PH, no nutrients, to nutrient burn to light burn) and it turns out so good! I did a rough trim on them and hung the branches on hangers. I weighed each hanger so I can update it later Epsilon one 66 g hanger one Hanger to 61 g Hanger 3 40 g Hanger for 47 g Hanger 5 72 g Epsilon two my Hanger one 49 g Hanger to 33 g Hangar 375g Hanger for 71 g Hanger 540 g Hanger six 93 g Epsilon 3 Hanger one 95 g Hangar 295 837 Hangar to 59 g Hanger for 75 g Hanger five 52 g 5grams loose bud Wet harvest 1028g 36.26oz 2.26lb
