Red Hot Cookies / First homegrow indoor

I planned to use the following setup for this grow: As substrate, I’m using Biobizz Light Mix with the following additions per liter: 300 grams of perlite, 7 grams of dolomite lime, and Biotabs fertilizer. I used the Biotabs fertilizer according to the recommended schedule. The only things I didn’t use at the beginning were Orgatrex and the tabs, but I’ll add them when transferring the plants to bigger pots. For pots, I’ll be using the Autopot OnePot system with 4 pots including Airdomes. All of the water will come from my reverse osmosis filter system. Initially, the water had around 10 ppm / 6.4 pH / 15.5°C, but it has changed a little bit since then. The ppm dropped to 4, the pH went down a bit, and the water temperature rose to room temperature.

Three out of four plants are growing well, but one is struggling. I think I may have overwatered it. *SPOILER* she won´t make it 😭 The other plants in the tent will be moved to the balcony soon. I’ll write a separate diary for the outdoor plants.

We’re in the third week of vegetation. Unfortunately, the struggling plant didn’t make it, so I’m left with 3 plants. But as I learn from my mistakes, I’ll make some changes next time.

This week the 3 plants are planted into 3 liter pots and they will have the tent for their own from now on. Biotabs fertilizer added as recommended in the sheets. The outdoor plants moved into the other tent and will be moved to the balcony soon.

The plants are growing well in their new pots. They've got a more deep green colour. Watching them grow is a pleasure, I love it.

It's week 7 and the plants are growing. The Babies became girls and the girls will become ladies soon. Unfortunately I can't see them mature because I'll be on vacation for 3 weeks soon. But I've got someone to take care of them and switch the light. This week the plants moved into their final 15 liter pots. Unfortunately I couldn't get the Autopot system running before going on vacation, so my bro has water them by hand

This week I'm enjoying my vacation. I've received one picture which I shared. I thought about sharing pictures from vacation but I've decided not to because I've already spammed with my pictures from work - I mean this platform is about growing not work or vacation.

This week will be a short week of only a few days before the lights will be switched to 12/12. I'm sharing 2 pictures I received from my bro.

It's the second week of flowering and I've returned from my vacation. The plants have grown a lot. They're all different heights now, which I'll try to compensate. I'm planning on using a net to spread the branches more evenly.

Third week of flowering. I've lifted two pots so the tops of all three plants are the same height and put in a net to spread the branches a little bit in place. I've moved the fan and filter to the too of the tent to have more room. The plants stretched a little. Now the buds are starting to show.

The buds are growing dense and getting frosty.

Its looking good.

I skipped the last week because I didn't take any pictures. But this week there's some more pictures. The buds are developing beautiful. They're growing a lot and starting to get some beautiful colours. They're starting to smell amazing as well.

This week could be the last before harvest. Harvest should be 10 days from now but I will keep checking the trychoms with my USB microscope to be sure. The buds are developing beautiful. The plants are starting to take the energy from the remaining leafs.

It's the last few days before harvest. The leafs are fading and the trychoms are becoming more and more milky. There's amber coloured ones on the leafs but not on the buds yet - that's what I'm waiting for.

I cut the plants, remove the remaining fan leafs and hang the plants upside down inside the dark tent for 8 days. After 8 days I trimmed the buds and put them into glass containers with boveda packs. I burped the containers everyday for 10 minutes (first two weeks twice) for about 4-6 weeks.
