First Grow (Autoflower)

Hi there, Thank you for running this diary. We will be looking forward to your updates. Happy growing 🌱🌱 & Good luck 😃

Good luck and happy growing 🌱🍀🥦💚

If anyone is interested in my checksheet, also if any of the items seem too much or too little please let me know where I could adjust! Check the Temperature & Humidity: Ensure the temperature is between 68°F-77°F (20°C-25°C) and humidity is at the appropriate level (40-70% depending on growth stage). Monitor the Lights: Make sure grow lights are working properly. Light cycle should be adjusted depending on the stage (18 hours light for vegetative, 12 hours for flowering). Inspect the Plants: Look for any signs of pests, nutrient deficiencies (yellowing leaves, spotting), or mold. Check leaves, stems, and soil for any abnormalities. Watering: Check moisture levels by feeling the soil. Water if the top inch feels dry. pH of the water should be in the range of 6.0-7.0. Air Circulation: Ensure fans and ventilation systems are working. Check airflow to prevent mold and pests. Weekly Checklist Nutrient Feeding: Depending on the growth stage, use the appropriate nutrients. Vegetative stage: High nitrogen. Flowering stage: High phosphorus and potassium. Always check and adjust the nutrient solution’s pH (6.0-6.5 for soil, 5.5-6.0 for hydroponics). Soil and Pot Check: Ensure pots are draining well. Check the soil condition for compaction, drainage, and root growth. Pruning & Training: Trim lower leaves and branches to increase airflow. Train plants using techniques like low-stress training (LST) or topping to maximize yields. Check for Pests/Mold: Use magnifying tools to thoroughly check for spider mites, aphids, or mold. Apply organic pest control methods if needed. Change Light Cycle (if needed): Adjust lighting schedules when transitioning between growth stages. Flush the Plants: If you are in the flowering stage, a weekly flush with plain water (no nutrients) is often recommended to avoid nutrient build-up.

If anyone is interested in my more Scientific log Growth Stages and Time Frame: Seedling: 1-2 weeks. Vegetative: 4-8 weeks. Flowering: 8-12 weeks (depending on strain). Environmental Stats: Temperature: Day: 68°F-77°F (20°C-25°C). Night: 62°F-72°F (17°C-22°C). Humidity: Seedling: 65%-70%. Vegetative: 40%-70%. Flowering: 40%-50%. CO2 Levels: Keep between 1200-1500 ppm during the vegetative and early flowering stages if you're adding CO2. Nutrient Levels: EC (Electrical Conductivity): Seedling: 0.8-1.2 mS/cm. Vegetative: 1.2-1.6 mS/cm. Flowering: 1.6-2.0 mS/cm. pH Levels: Soil: 6.0-7.0. Hydroponics: 5.5-6.5. Watering Stats: Water Quantity: Based on plant size (e.g., 500ml for young plants, increasing to a liter or more for larger ones). Water pH: Keep between 6.0-7.0. Frequency: Varies by growth stage (every 2-3 days typically). Light Intensity: PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density): Vegetative stage: 400-600 µmol/m²/s. Flowering stage: 600-900 µmol/m²/s. Plant Height and Canopy Spread: Record changes weekly as part of plant growth data. This will help monitor stretch during flowering and overall health. Observation Log: Any signs of stress (leaf yellowing, curling, spots). Pests or mold occurrences. Training techniques used (topping, LST, etc.). Flowering stage observations (pistils, trichomes development).
