Auto between photos

So things are coming to live... I'll be adding some company to my auto... I love peppers so I'll try to grow some jalapenos... Testing with some lavender as well... The purple as germinated successfully and seems healthy For now they are in my nursery and I plan to put them in the 4x4 next week

They are all healthy and ready to their final home... I transplanted all my peppers and put everything on my 4x4 with the light dimmed for about 50% giving about 250ppfd accordingly to photone... I'll be decreasing distance slowly over the time so they I'll get more light

So as I said this season started a bit confusing with me disposing a bunch of seeds that where stored improply... After 10 seeds and a couple of damping off seedlings everything seems to be nice and healthy.... have a bit of tip burning but nothing serious I think... This couple of days have been really hot and I'm glad to already have the AC... It was not needed for now but I suspect that I'll be using it for all July and August as the temperatures continue to rise.... I'm dying to receive my blumat carrots so I can install the system and have almost everything automated =) If the purple sunset keeps it's healthy grow I think it will be ready for starting LST next week...

I've only grown autos once more than 5y ago bit I'm feeling she is stretching already. She seems healthy, a bit leggy for my like but that probably because of the strech. Tried some LST with some clips but ended up snaping the branch... forced supercropping lol.... fortunately it wasn't too serious and she is already recovering but this will delay the training one more week... As you may see I have again my watering ring because I'm finishing the blumat instalation (forgot a connector now I'm trying to print it out of my 3d printer) and I hope to finish it this week... the blumat will be only for the girl because I did not purchased enough carrots for everything... maybe next run... Non related to this but I'm thinking if I should start messing with some hydro tomatoes or not.. =P Cheers

One more week as passed... this week I was trying to make some I'm solution to combat a bit of gnats that I have on my garden... after much reading and researching I ended up getting some soap nuts on a local store, olive oil, isopropyl alcohol, and some essential oil and tried to spray my garden for about 3 days... since the girl is already flowering I focused the spray on the soil to try to kill the larvae... on the rest I've srpayed them all top to bottom... however since it was during day time they got a bit burnt I think... I think I still have gnats but in less population... I'm giving time to everything to dry out so I repeate the spray focused on the soil... I'm not sure if this I'm solution will work and I'm already looking for a supplier of Bacillus thuringiensis, to have in my tool box... The girl is healthy and thriving... i've made some more LST but I think I was final and now is just to see the buds take form...

Nothing but health here.... really glad with the outcome until now from biotabs (I'm using bioenhancer from GHF as a replacement for backtrex because I still had a lot of it from the previous grow) I'm starting to have temperature issues, but I'm already prepared with an small 12000btu ac to refresh my lung room.... I'm a bit worried about the electricity cost because it consumes more than the rest of the grow equipment together, but I'll try to manage the on/off hours to see if I don't break the bank... My chillies are starting to flower as well, some of them have some deficiencies but nothing major...can be easily corrected... Blumat is already in place for a few days now but I'm not sure if it is working correctly. Is an amazing system but hard to tshoot in my point of view...I have a trip next week so I'm hoping for everything to be configured right... but only have a week to test... let's see how it goes...

One more week as passed and she's clearly starting to fattened =) Temperature still a issue but is controlled by now.... Nothing much to add...

This past week she's raging... I think I never had such a long buds like she's building right now... Still dealing with heating issues to try to save a bit on the electricity bill, but I think for these last weeks will be really turning on the ac so I won't lose the terps... Everything is in "auto" mode until the harvest... Having a bit issues with my jalapeños. O think they are suffering with the heat as well... the ones out side are much healthier and stable....

Gorgeous 😍

So, she's really faded this past week. A lot of it because of the extreme heat we are having and even the ac can't keep up... But overall I think it's going great with not much problems and I think next week it's the time to harvest... I hope it swallows a bit because even with long buds they are a bit skinny, but they seem hard as a rock... let's see how it matures this next

Great experience with this strain and not disappointed again with biotabs line... I'll try to improve it on my next season.... I was planning do some feno hunting and practice mainlining techniques on some Fotos, but things unfortunately have changed I I think I'll do one more auto run, with 4 plants this time. Not sure I I should upgrade to my 13gal pots or if I should stay with 5gal for this autos... What do you think? If everything goes ok this change is for the better and hopefully I'll have more space to get a new tent for drying and doing so implement some perpetual harvest
