I flushed my 2litre of pre-fertilized soil (plagron grow mix 10-14-24npk) with about 5litre of 50:50 tap/rain water and mixed it with about 3litre coco. Additionally I have a 80:20 coco/flushed soil mix selfmade jiffy and placed it on top of my 7litre pot. Cling film for the humidity of course ;) I hope my seed can take the flushed hot soil mix. I’m going to upload more pics as soon as the seed germinates. Looks messy right now, my apologies.

it popped out of the soil after 32hrs, so happy with white label autoflowers :) My plant gets 50w of CFL 6500k right now I think i should add that this is a low budget grow. I paid around 150€ for everything. I hope ill get at least 15g dry out of this plant Day 6 : added 46w of 2700k + removed inner pot. Plant is now exposed to the hot plagron grow mix / 50% coco

Week 2 day 1 plant is just happy but I would love to see some faster vegging. Day 2 Fan adjustment today, felt like the plant was getting little windburn ( slight curling on the edge and dry/rough leaves) Day 3 Added Horn- Bonemeal mix as Top dress today. It’s really fine grained so I hope this is going to help out with N + P in flower stage Day 4 Plant still not ramping up. My guess is the roots are not developed well enough to get to the edge of the pot where the majority of the pre fertilized soil is at Day 5 Drained the whole pot with 1l rainwater and tested run off water. It’s at 6.3ph. Hopefully the plant can reach all the nutrients now. I will add compost tea in about 3weeks. I need to wait for the compost to finish first at least partly. Next grow will be better for sure when I’m more prepared. Day 7 LST

My soil feels dead tbh. I don’t have high expectations on yielding 15g dried bud at this point. Maybe the plant is just slow at start tho who knows. Day1 Just waiting to water again Day2 Some watering near the stem, tomorrow near the edge. Think I’ll go with that for some time. Day3 1litre water Day4 (12.08.) LST #2 went out and got some stinging nettle today (brennnessel) for the extra juice :) Day5 First white hairs popping up, I knew it Day7 Plant is stretching AF 😉

Day1 Lollipoped and defoli Day2 Main stem snapped by trying to tie it down once more XD Taped it immediately. I’m still in shock but the plant seems to recover. Fortunately it didn’t break off, only snapped half way Day 4 I decided to remove the stem that i accidentally broke Day 5 Watered with selfmade nettle fertilizer, I can’t recommend it unless you are using a carbon filter. It smells terrible. Day 6 Last time defoliation. Also some more canopy-flattening Day 7 another huge growth (the selfmade fertilizer doing in work)

being too lazy to upload lately. I decided to go with 110w of cfl at this point till harvest. Im not interested in spending more money when im sure ill get a new led for next years grow. Also as a substitute for going with that low wattage I place the plant on my windowsill during 9am to 1pm. That’s a short span but all I can get at my location day4 resin buildup becomes noticeable now Day5 I hope the buds will thicken some more soon

good job! are you sure she was done already? on week 8 she looked like she could need 3 more weeks, you missing out big on yield, they stack up the most in the last 2 weeks. But anyways 27g with that setup is great!

Love the ghetto set-up! Good results with what you had there, very interesting. I'd have left it longer for those buds to fill out some more, but good stuff anyway,
the end.
