Root riot cubes in prop tank with heat mat, heat mat seemed good but I should have used an ink bird to monitor heat a little better. Led panel running temps programming fans etc I found out in week 1 got away with it but I should have run a bit first as only previous experience was with a CFL lamp 12 years ago

Big pots little plants was really hard to get watering right, pretty sure I was over watering possibly slower than usual growth but I've no experience with autos or popping from seed so learning as I go but following a feed calculator for autos

Feed was only mixed in small amounts took so long to water in the air pruning pots by end of week I'm sure they were too wet so I ignored them for a bit and it made a huge difference quite fast ec on mixed feeds was just a little low but daily growth was visible

Apple fritter definitely seems less developed than everyone else not sure if I damaged it by putting a soil indicator in but it does look good just smaller. Led was up to 75% but quickly dialed back to 50 as I thought the leaves looked dry and I was scared I was burning them. Feed ec raised to 1.5.

Big learning week changed feed mid week as everyone showed pre flower they moved up on feed. Tried a dehumidifier for sleep time but it actually raised my temperature to 26 so I removed it again and set up the little one. Some days growth is startling so watering them is difficult to track as I'm going by feel on each one each day, sometimes they wanted 2 feeds a day. Not enough defoliation but it's hard to judge and opinions vary on autos. See more than expected heat from led but highest my fans have been was 50% so very manageable.

Overall great week everyone flowering nicely and things appear good. I did notice on each of the flower sites lightened up a lot as they stretched up but growth was amazing so I didn't see anything to worry about.........yet. Temperature increased with led power so needed to work for better airflow.

Noticed a lot of small patches of damage to leafs. Been very clinical with feeds so I'm pretty sure I'm not underfeeding, only watered when needed so I was reasonably sure I hadn't over watered but still seeing a lot of light patches. Not sure if that pic is a thrip but ordered some neem oil in case.

Horrible week lol seen a lot of damage to the leafs couldn't pin point issue so I ran a flush through as plants seemed to stop taking nutes up altogether. Showing deficiency signs do I flushed them through overrun tested at 2.0 ec opposed to 0.2 going in but I could see something tiny skipping on the water so I took soil in to my work to look at..... Huge thrip larvae infestation and I think fungus gnats as neem wasn't here yet I had to flush with hydrogen peroxide and kill my beneficials as well. Damage to the roots was horrendous won't let upload pics possibly too big. (Not the larvae took ages to find them they're shy, they jump and they suck) lots of damaged leafs removed. Ready to throw in the towel as it started to look unrecoverable.

Devastating damage to roots left plants struggling to uptake water and nutrients so I removed all damaged or overly yellow leaves on brain damage and Runtz, now pest free was going to repot apple turnover so I could see what was going on but pooped out when I seen lots of crystals forming on Runtz and decided to see it through rather than give them or me more stress. Damage is still there so leaves are still dying off but any root rot that set in after plants stopped drinking hydrogen peroxide would kill off and first feed after i added extra katana roots to help rebuild them. after the initial cutback I thought there was little hope as they surely can't produce THC without leaves and what was left were dropping like flies. (Not thrips or fungus gnats I got them in one shot 😂)

Another week of pulling dead leaves off other than apple turnover everyone's drinking again watching crystals form all over so back to getting a little excited though still not sure if they're going to make it, decided they're not recovering leaf wise so I removed bed time and started them on 24/7 light again and gave them a last feed. Started on dragon force midweek as crystals forming on Runtz were insane. Most are already cloudy brain damage not far behind.
