First grow first babies. And forgot one was a star dawg seed. But turned out to be a boy and was quickly got rid of. So 3 strains to start out some photo some auto and I didn’t know. So this is really a mix mash of a grow and the main thing I learned in my time so far is weed is pretty resilient and I was maybe stresssing too much over temperature. But it is something to be very aware of. I ended up with 3 thermal devices in the tent one in built in the fan swing unit. 2 near extractor. 3 thermograph digital at plant height in the light

Didn’t have a tent at this point so had to improvise with lighting and an ex Eric’s even bike 🚲 to hang the lights from. Used books to adjust height of bike as they grew.

Nicely in the tent. Was having issues with temp due to a radiator that wouldn’t shut off. Was stressing. But they all maintained a nice green very little leaf loss at all and sorted the rad out. Got nice tower fan and static fan in tent. Once the lights were off had to close the window it vents to and intakes. So over night the girls weren’t sucking in cold air then fanning to make it worse. Some nights was fan off some on. Extractor 24/7

The og candy was too tall growing taller than the light. Tried lst at first using the scrog net to spread it out a bit. Also tried to fim on the top to help stop it growing higher. I think i tried that by hand a few days earlier. Soon after this I 90• bend it and caused a knuckle

So bent the candy. And still holding on nicely. Expected it to break. But used other branches and a soft tie to keep it in place. Blew nicely with the fans and buds grew up towards lights.

At this point Im fully aware there is auto mix with photo clones. I have also tried the scrog net to help any weaker branches Again not 💯 about what I am doing but from guides books and bits I tried to nip and tuck but not too much especially around the bottom. Replanted from 7ltr square to 15ltr round pots The height of the og candy surprised the hell out of me compared to the auto amnesia haze that I had to prop up (using pots and saucers) to help height be approx same. The vanilla kush clones had various heights but the smallest one has finally reached the net. With others nicely above and not too hot to touch by hand from the light heat. 2 fan set up mostly around 23-28c due to weather recently dipped. But trying to maintain 27/28c constant. But occasionally noticed creaped up to 30 for short periods. Adjusted the air from windows. To bring it back down. Not sure if I should still be feeding with lots of water to maintain green leafs as they are. Or to mist very breifly to maintain 50% humidity And only water the pots Lollipops I am not sure about. But would like to increase yield. Places say only cut 20% when doing it. Others seem to be more savage and it’s something I don’t want to kill the girls at this critical stage.

First time grow Is Amnesia haze auto small slow growth as it’s on a 12/12 cycle? At this point should I be watering of all the leaves and bud sites or only water pots? Should I flush with water only at this point? Explode should I still use it or other bloom?

Leaves. Too few

hey there man, you dont want to lollipop at this stage, that train has basically left the station at this point, you could take off some of the flower nodes lower down the branches but even this will just end up hurting your yield. You do want to get that temperature as close to 25°C as possible during the "day", and keep that humidity between 40 to 50% . Certainly do not artificially raise it through misting as this could kickstart problems like bud rot and might even slow down the grow , the transplanting itself was unecessary stress, it's gonna take a while now, with very little progress, but you just got to follow their cycle and keep up that's it, keep feeding for at least another couple weeks if not more.

Do not water the buds and leaves! It is not needed and can actually cause mold if you water the buds and the water stays in them. As far as slow auto growth goes, it is 100% because they are under 12/12 lighting. Autos typically grow and mature faster than photos but only under longer light schedules. I use 20/4 the whole grow for autos personally. Don't bother flushing at all there's not really much of a point. There was a recent study done that showed flushing only reduced total nutrient content in the buds by less than 5%. If you want a good smooth and tasty smoke make sure to get the dry and cure right. If you do plan to flush don't start it until like 5-7 days before harvest, but again its more or less pointless and hurts yields a bit. Make sure you have a jewelers loupe or a microscope to check trichs to see when to harvest.

Hi @tryingtogroweasydude! Well, the 12/12 cycle is known to have an impact on auto's yields, basically this leads to less bud sites and can also prevent buds from fattening as they usually do. Don't spray anything on your leaves&buds, you don't want to risk having mold/mildew/bud-rot. Just feed/water in the container and try to follow a wet/dry cycle, roots should never be wet for too long neither than dry for too long. At this stage you should keep on feeding with P+K until 7-14 days before harvest. You still have a few weeks to go. You can use Explode until the final flush week, see the chart above: https://dutchpro.com/wp-content/uploads/kweekschema-eng-aarde-2018.jpg. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊

Thanks so much for the comment. Noticed some yellowing on the haze. And panicked. Have water only for yesterday. And tomorrow back on my Dutch pro starter kit due to your advice. Should I increase or stay the same on explode. If the yellowing is there. Will check tomorrow to see how a day of Just water has been for them. Yeah haven’t done the leaves or bud sites either with spray. So will stick to that. Ps this has to be by far the best place and easypeasy to see the charting of them. Glad I took pics along the way checking them daily you forget how long it’s been. Compiling this diary shows me I’m at week 10 and I know it’s a Crucial time. So wanted some support from the ENTS ✌️😎✌️♥️🙏
