🚀 Autoflowers vs. 12/12 – Can Dosidos Auto Reach Max Yield? 🌱💡

Veg Week 1 – We Have Lift-Off! 🚀 The babies are officially in their first week of veg, and they’re off to a strong start! 🌿💚 A solid set of true leaves is coming in, and they seem happy in their coco medium. pH is at 5.6, EC is 1.7—a little high for their age, but they’re sharing the nutrient reservoir with more mature plants to keep everything on track for a synchronized finish. 📸 Observations from the grow room: ✔️ Vibrant new growth showing steady development. ✔️ Good leaf structure and compact spacing—no signs of stretching. ✔️ Slight yellowing and crispy edges on lower leaves—likely minor nutrient burn from the higher EC. ✔️ Blumats keeping the coco moist, ensuring consistent hydration. 💡 Next Steps: 🔹 Monitor leaf response to the EC—expecting them to adjust as roots develop. 🔹 Ensure proper moisture balance to avoid overwatering, since young roots still need oxygen. 🔹 Keep pH steady and possibly raise to 5.8 as growth progresses. 🔹 No training planned—letting them grow naturally to match the cycle of the older plants. Looking forward to watching them thrive over the next week! 🚀 Any other growers running mixed-age plants in the same system? Would love to hear your experiences! 👇🔥 #GrowDiaries #CocoGrow #CannabisCommunity #HealthyPlants 🌱

16/03: Grow Update 🌱 – Autos Taking Off! Another week in, and the autos are doing great! They’re growing surprisingly fast, almost catching up to my Chocolate Haze despite the age difference. I’m really curious to see their final size. Luckily, they have their own space, so I can position the lights perfectly to give each plant its own optimal lighting. The plant in the photo is still a bit small, but she’s got a thick stem already. I’m guessing it’s just a slightly different phenotype. She’s getting the same feeding and treatment as my Chocolate Haze, so no need to repeat that here—this is just a side project anyway. Re-evaluating autos on 12/12… Yes, it works! Lower yields, but way less electricity usage. Auto seeds are usually more expensive, but the strain selection is much bigger. I keep seeing autos on GrowDiaries that I’d love to try, but then I think: 18 hours of light… I’d go broke! 😅 Obviously, that’s an exaggeration, but I’d really love to see if these can yield comparably to photoperiod plants. Let’s find out! 🚀 #GrowDiaries #Autoflowers #HomeGrow #12on12off #CannabisCommunity 22/03: Nice grow but still a bit light colored.. Raised EC a bit

30/03: Missed last week’s update, but here we are! The girls are coming along nicely, growing fast despite being under a 12-hour lighting schedule. First pistils have appeared on 2 out of 3 plants, so flowering is officially underway! The color is looking vibrant, with no major signs of stress or deficiencies. I’ve been cautious with nutrients since I’ve heard autos can be sensitive to high doses, but so far, they seem to be handling it well—no signs of overfeeding. The structure is getting bushy, with lots of healthy new growth. A little bit of lower leaf yellowing, but nothing concerning—probably just natural shedding as they focus on flowering. Excited to see how they develop over the next week! 31/03: Just added some images
