First put the seeds in water for 24 hours then moved to paper towel for another day or so.
Once seeds open they go straight into the soil and keeping the soil moist.
A vegetable soil was used and was already laying around the house. EDIT: Lesson learned, might affect the plant during flower stage, so check nutrients and fix accordingly.
One seed from the 5 pack did not make it. 😓
Looks nice and growing well. I let the soil dry on top before adding some water carefully. Temperatures are stable, it's a new oil heater 😎
Challenges are maintaining humidity and gnats started appearing, not so much of an issue after using sticky gnat traps.
Only giving water when top soil is dry. Tap water is around 8.4ph. Going to work on lowering ph levels soon.
One of them is a more yellowish.
So challenges this week was still maintaining humidity and not trying to revive the yellowish plant. I left it alone and it followed the same schedule as the other 3 plants. The humidifier I am using is too big and powerful for this small space. There is not controller basically so humidity can rise fast or decrease fast.
Started using Hesi Power Enzyme 2-3 times a week together with Hesi TNT Complex
Checking daily the soil for dryness.
Temp fluctuates between 22-26C
Humidity around 65%
One plant remains yellowish. Still need to work on lowering ph levels when feeding.
All plants look healthy except the yellow one, although it is growing ok.
The closest to the oil heater seems to be stretching the most. That's just an assumption right now.
Added another net. I think I should have waited with the first net. Does it need a third net?
The most height was grown this week. It's interesting to see how quick these grow. The tallest being 70cm and the yellow which was the shortest is almost 2nd tallest. The bud density looks ok on all 3 plants except the yellowish one. Maybe it just needs more time.
Edit: added last pictures for ending week 6.
Week 7 ending, looks really nice so far.
Major update in hardware: replaced oil heater with AC Infinity Thermoforge T3. The temperature inside the tent is way better distributed and stays constant at 25-26c during day and 23c at night.
Feeding daily since pots are 1 gallon and dry up quickly.
Week 8 ended. Nice amber pistils forming now and bud density improving.
New hardware
- replaced the TS1000 for the TSW2000. Currently hanging near 30cm and light intensity around 75%. Any recommendations on light settings, whether dimmer should be on 100% or lower? The light gives better coverage than the TS1000.
Challenges
- noticed some yellow tips so I reduced the feeding and using only ph balanced water with some CalMag 1ml per liter. I wonder if there is any use considering this autoflower is supposed to be harvested within 2 weeks.
- new light raises temperature so I am still working on a better solution to lower it. Temps reach 27c
Bud and trichome development sped up during end of week 9. Since there are 4 GSC autos, each one seems a few days off from each other.
Started to notice this week that some fan leaves are turning yellow.
Only feeding with water ph 6.8
Week 10 was interesting, the smell increased inside the tent and it started to creep out. Wasn't sure how to resolve the issue in the first days but eventually, it was related to the fan speeds. Increasing the speeds helped a bit.
Only feeding water still, ph 6.8. Removed the dead fan leaves.
Challenges: Light creates warmer temperatures inside so smell was creeping out of the tent a few times.
It seems all 4 plants will be harvested at different times, days apart only but is it ok to leave plants ready for harvest a couple or few days longer?
Removed yellow and dead leaves.
Only feeding water at 6.8ph.
The smell is really nice and can't wait to harvest. Seems like a matter of days now until harvest.
Sounds like your getting her thru 🙂
Sometimes they need a little longer than the packs say, bud she’s doin what she needs too, give it chance to pack some weight on them buds now (white looking pistils shooting out of there buds will turn mostly orangy and receed into the buds as the buds pack on weight) then you’ll know there ready once you start checking the thc crystals on there for when they start turning amber you’ll know she’s ready :) sound like your doing a decent job upto now! Keep it up an enjoy the smoke
@c_0xff, sounds like the light green one has needed a bit more Nitrogen throughout but sometimes they can lock it out and not take it up, they should all be getting lighter now they’re all finishing up, 100% beat way to check they’re fully done is to monitor the thc crystals (with a jewellers loupe or magnifier on fone camera) once around 30% have turned amber then you know the smoke will be the best it could of been 😁 and 100% the extra light will be helpin this stage!
@NCbud, thanks man! I do wonder though if the bud density will grow in the next week(s). The light upgrade should help a lot. And recently I noticed fan tips being dry and curling up a bit. So the last few days I am on water with CalMag (1ml per liter) only.
One of the plants is still yellowish and that has the smallest buds. Any recommendations or is it too late for this one?
