1st Grow Ever, Coco, 6 Autos, 6 Strains

Hello, this is my very first grow. It is for myself and a relative, and for medical purposes, even though we live in California and it is legal. 2 plants being grown could not be specified in the tags. They are Devil's Harvest: Auto Reek'n, and Victory Seeds: Auto Seemango. Also, Critico Rapido is now called Auto Critical Kush by the breeder, so that is what I am calling it. I have requested the admins to fix these seed strain issues. There are 3 Auto Speed buds for a total of 8 strains, all auto, and 10 plants. All dropped in water on July 1st, 2017. Then into a rapid rooter into the final huge pot. (it should be noted that in my excitement, I forgot that the TNT Kush was an auto, and the package didn't mention that either, unless I got the wrong package, otherwise, it would have been 9 strains and 10 plants with 2 speed buds) I'm Using 100 % Canna bagged coco in 7 gallon bags. I hand water to 20% runoff, I shoot for PH 5.8 but take variation of up to around 1.5. Grow area is a 8x4x6.5 tent with full 8 inch ventilation, ducting. and air filtering, leaving from the top of the tent and out the window of the house. Passive intake with a window mount AC near the openings as it gets quite hot where I live (we already had an incident where the grow area got into the 90's so I won't be surprised if the ladies end up a bit stunted because of it.) It takes around 15 gallons to water everything from reasonably dry to sufficient runoff. My water is reasonable hard ranging from about 150 to sometimes 200, so I use GH Hardwater Micro. Due to the extreme work of measuring out nutes for and PHing 15 individual gallons of water, I have ordered a 10 gallon tank with spout. Hopefully, that should make watering a bit easier, especially when I switch from the veg style "wet/dry cycle" type watering and begin to push the hydroponic advantage of coco later in flower with possibly multiple waters a day. This is why I am doing this run with autos instead of the expensive Durban Poison seeds, to get the workflow down. The coco was pretreated with 1/2 strength nutes and additives on a "drain to waste" schedule of all of the following: seedling strength GH Flora nutes, Roots Excellerator, Photosythesis Plus (smells yummy), SM-90, Drip Clean, and 1 gram per gallon epsom salts (epsom salts replaced by CalMagic after pretreatment). One large and tall humidifier/oscillating fan, one independent oscillating fan, and a small fan provide additional turbulence and circulation. All power is run through it's own GFI adapter. I also monitor my load, and all mentioned but the homes main central AC and the window AC draws a little over 1400 watts when running, served off a dedicated 20 amp circuit. Lights are 2 Meizhi Reflector series 1200 watt LED (568 REAL watts each). In retrospect, I might be more inclined to have gotten 4 600s for a couple bucks more for the flexibility in spacing, but so far so good for the price. I do use the bloom button for veg as someone somewhere noted "its not like the sun filters its colors, the plants may have a use for that spectrum we don't understand, so why not use the bloom button for veg too?" I have also set up a Raspberry Pi Zero with camera for time lapse. I run Raspian command line, and aside from stock lite, I have only added watchdog in case it hangs, fail2ban for intrusion prevention, htop for system monitoring, RPi cam for web based camera control, photos, & time lapse, and insync headless to upload my time lapse photos to my google drive. The Pi is on the same power as the lights. A cron job is set up to shutdown the Pi properly a few minutes before lights out. Since it is on the same power as the lights, it boots up automatically during lights on and resumes taking hi res time lapse photos, each 5 minutes apart, of 9 out of 10 of the plants. I can view the tent remotely, and have temps and humidity visible to me on camera. The Pi lives in a case and is taped to a tripod. This does cause some issues as I do not tape it down tight so as to leave ventilation so as not to overheat it. Seems stable so far. I also have 2 thermometers outside the tent with probes going in the tent for lights out monitoring, one at the top of the tent, the other at the bottom under the lights This is my first grow ever. My goal was to learn my garden, and learn how to care for a plant. I did a lot of preplanning, and spent a lot of money even if my gear isn't the best trying to get it right. Coco seemed far superior to most options for me, and autoflowers seemed to help take some guesswork out and allowed me to let the plant do it's thing and learn about both it and my environment for my next grow, which is the grow this whole tent is about. So this is my dry run before I do my run of Durban poison. In retrospect, autos may not be the best first plant because of stunting issues if you screw up. I say this because it is possible I screwed up by using 7 gallon pots and a wet/dry cycle on autos while in coco. Or because of the heat even when the tent got into the 90s (only lasted about 90 minutes before we were able to cool it again). Time will tell on my gamble, but I do feel much more prepared for the potential difficulties of Durban Poison or some of the other more advanced strains that I have acquired (I am looking at YOU Neville's Haze). I would like to practice LST with this crop as I am certain to need it with photo sativas, but they might not get tall enough. We shall see. 100% germination, so life has begun and we are off.
