Dr-Automatic Every single seed popped — we’re off to the races! Using my custom organic mix: Back to the Roots potting soil, worm castings, coco coir for airflow, and top-dressed with a mild manure blend. Temps hovering around 78°F, RH around 60% (shoutout to the damp towel trick 🙌). No domes anymore, just letting them adjust naturally. Cotyledons look strong, first set of leaves coming in hot. Watching like a hawk — and yeah, maybe talking to them a little. We’re growing bud, not just plants. Let’s gooo

Dr-Automatic Week 1 of veg is in the books! All plants are now one week old and looking healthy. Three are still in starter pots and one went straight into its final 3-gallon pot. That one is a little smaller up top, but likely putting energy into root development right now. Leaf color looks great across all four, with strong early growth. No feeding yet — just light watering and letting them do their thing. Running 20/4 light schedule and planning to transplant the rest into final pots by Saturday. Smooth start so far — ready for the real growth to kick in next week!

Dr-Automatic Start of Week 2 Veg
Today marks day 14 from sprout. All autos are now well into veg and starting to show some personality. Growth has been steady with no signs of stress. Running 20/4 light schedule under 300W LEDs at full power, maintaining temps around 75–80°F and RH near 60%. Plants are in FoxFarm Ocean Forest in their final pots and loving it — no nutrients yet, just pH’d water. Queen LaGrowFa is taking the lead with explosive growth and thick structure. Nodes are tight, stems are strong, and no signs of stretch. Canopy is even and healthy — couldn’t ask for a better start.

Dr-Automatic 🌱 Day 16 / Start of Week 3
The girls are looking healthy and sturdy! Nice dark green leaves with good node spacing. I’m seeing solid early growth and the structure is shaping up well—low and bushy, perfect for training. Keeping an eye on the environment and watering carefully to encourage that root expansion. Planning to guide the tops through the net soon as they stretch a bit more. Happy with progress so far!

Dr-Automatic 🌸 Start of flower (autos) — The plants are off to a strong start in flower! Super compact and bushy under my two 200W LEDs at 20" distance, keeping temps steady between 74–81°F and humidity around 50–60%. Leaf tucking and light LST to open them up — can’t do much more, they’re thick! Looking forward to seeing the stretch over the next 1–2 weeks. Feeding will shift to bloom nutrients next watering (Morbloom 0-10-10 + bone meal top dress). Everything’s on track — excited to see those bud sites stack!

Dr-Automatic Let the fun begin! 💥🌸
We’ve officially entered flower and things are getting exciting in the tent! One of the girls (Wedding Cake) is already well into flower, stacking up nicely with solid early bud formation and tons of pistils popping everywhere. She’s the clear leader of the pack right now—short, chunky, and already starting to smell sweet! She started showing pistils back on the 17th and hasn’t looked back since.
The others are just now flipping, stretch is kicking in, and they’re spreading beautifully under the net. I’ve been tucking daily, giving them just enough room to breathe and build strong tops. The canopy is starting to even out, and I’m happy with how much light each cola is getting.
Nutrients this week: sticking with bone meal for slow-release calcium and phosphorus, and giving them regular doses of Alaska Morbloom (0-10-10) to support the flowering transition. No signs of burn or deficiency so far—leaves are praying and staying a rich green.
Tent stats:
🌀 Negative pressure locked in
🌡️ Temps hovering low 80s
💧 RH around 50-55%
💨 Fans moving air well with no hard wind
Smell is just starting to pick up—nothing crazy yet, but it’s coming. I’ve got the filter ready to go full throttle when the funk really hits. This is my first time running autos, and I’m impressed so far. Smaller than photos, but the speed and stacking make up for it.
Let’s see how this week plays out. I’m expecting a lot more vertical growth and pistil action. Thanks for checking out the grow—drop a like or a comment, and I’ll be sure to return the love! 💚👊

Dr-Automatic Week 6 – Flowering in full swing!
The girls are really progressing nicely—bud sites have visibly thickened, and there’s a solid layer of frost starting to coat the flowers. The aroma is evolving, with sweet and fruity notes becoming more pronounced each day. Among them, the Wedding Cake is clearly outpacing the rest, showing off dense, resin-heavy colas that are impressively frosty for this stage. Its structure is tight and compact, with strong branch development supporting those heavy buds.
I’m staying diligent with watering to keep moisture consistent and have started light defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration without stressing the plants. No signs of nutrient deficiencies or pest issues, so everything is running smoothly. If this momentum continues, I’m expecting some serious chunky, sticky flowers come harvest. Really happy with how everything’s shaping up so far!

Dr-Automatic Week 7 (Day 49) – Week 4 of Flower:
This little beast may only be 10 inches tall, but she's dripping in trichomes. Every bud site is frosting up heavy, and even the sugar leaves are coated like she got hit with a snowstorm. You can see the resin starting to glisten under the lights — sticky and strong already. No signs of slowing down either. She's staying compact but dense, stacking nicely with solid development. Still feeding bone meal and Morbloom, and she’s taking it like a champ. Smell is starting to punch through the tent walls now — sweet, funky, and loud. She's got that "touch me and your fingers are stuck" vibe going.

Dr-Automatic Week 8 and this little Wedding Cake is short, fat, and absolutely stacked 🍰💨. Buds are dense and coated in frost ❄️, with a strong fruity sweetness mixed with frosting in the aroma 🍓—really loving the terp profile on her. She got her last heavy organic feeding a few days ago 🌱💪, so now it’s just water from here 💧 until harvest. Trichomes are mostly cloudy ☁️ with amber starting to pop up 🧡, but I’m holding out for that heavy amber finish I like. She’s super sticky to the touch and really filling out despite her compact size. Couldn’t be happier with how she’s finishing up—small but mighty 💥, frosty ❄️, and smelling incredible!
