The grand. Auto Experiment

Fungus gnats are not your friend, lost 3 heavyWeight Fruit Punch, and 4 other "sprouts" which were replaced by new seeds now a week behind but since we have 9 too 14 week finishing time spread across the strain selection. We will run with it. Grow area is indoors, in a 64sq foot tent, c02 enrichment will begin week 3 along with a feed calibration week. Nominal c02 is 700ppm, enrichment will be set at 1300 with a target air temp of 84 to 87 degrees (leaf surface temp at 87F is 84.5F) Lighting is all led 750w (actual draw 430w) x4 1000w (actual draw 640w) x2 Seemingly very high wattage, however, these are kind series, so let's just say, too achieve desired average par/ft² and adequate footprint cross cover, that's how many are needed. Soil used, CannaBio and Canna-terra with added large and med sized pearlite. All nutrients used are CannaTERRA series, except for Cal mag, using very low ppm & e.c. (12 & .08) There are more strains that are able too to be listed, however only the listed ones will be focused on in this journal. Sorry no pics, grow is ending week two as we speak, and have not grabbed any "media" yet as this was a last min decision, but after reviewing others journals, and reading community interaction, this seemed like the best way to learn about doing auto flower correctly for optimal quality and yields. I have extensive experience with photoperiod, but feel Auto strains have reached the viability point that LED lighting did two years ago with the introduction of cobs, 3w 5w and 10w diodes, INCREASED diode density pushing par/ft² past HID and purpose-built Osram Horticultural LED products and the introduction of UV-A, UV-B, near INFRARED AND FAR-INFRARED, as well as varying nm of blue as well as red; too spectral recipes. I will also be starting another journal in about 3 more weeks, focusing on Auto again but using my 10x10 and two strains only, Mephisto DoubleGrape and WhiteCrack. Keep a lookout. Week 3s entry will have images and continue too from there on. Thank you for reading or showing interest, all positive feedback and critiques welcome, if you're just going to say "this is wrong" but offer no solution to fix it or even evidence, it is in fact wrong. Keep your characters to your self.

Tedious

Got crowded quick, I apologize for this all being after the fact, full time job Bush's picks up, then got two tenths going right now one with 15 mephisto white crack and this one. Only so many hours and all that. But I tried too take tons of pics etc, transitioning too w as twe only super soil, amended if at all with Nectar of Gods living soil booster pellets, and triacanatol and that's it Nematodes and ladybugs got rid of any and all gnat tissue Ran out cannazyme replaced with AN SensiZym, ran out off BOOST, replaced with liquid w8 and massive and rhizotonic with voodoo juice every week, except last 3

Out of all the strains, mephisto easily takes the cake. 0 issues entire grow perfect height respectable yield and excellent potency, turned two plants into live resin..amazing.. got way more pics on Duby, same user name. In my state power is too pricey too run autoflowers, the white crack was just worth the time and effort, this grow was 80% fastbuds and 420, and I think I lost money, I did 4 each kind not 1 looked like the other morphology was all over the place, they need to stabilize and pheno hunt much better, every mephisto bean I've done, I have never regretted, I regret not doing all bubbly livers and grape crinkle. Sorry about the incompleteness, will try n do better, time is always fleeting but I want too be a part of the community. Cheers folks grow on.
