This is my first indoor grow so i wanted to share my experience.
I am using a cmh light system, solux 630 lamp that i will run at 660 during the flowering stage.
I germinated 8 blueberry auto and 8 auto lsd using the traditional napkin method and got them in a nice humid atmosphere so they would hydrate through the leaves.
They are doing great. I gave them some ata rootbastic, but it was a very low dose.
One of them has an almost white part in a leave and i wonder if it is a genetic thing or an excess of feeding. The thing is that it had that color before i added rootbastic.
I also got an amnesia from a friend which i will grow for a while indoor but i have plans to take it outside in a near future.
So it seemed that the leaves were a little bit to dark so I watered them with an alg-a-mic 1 ml/l foliar solution and a 2ml/l + 1ml/l fish mix for them to get that final growing impulse before flowering.
The tips of the leaves started to turn yellow so i started to apply PowerZyme to help wash the soi. Nice buds are starting to appear everywhere! I am very happy for the moment and it seems that the excess of feeding was detected in time.
The taller ones are LSD, in the last picture you can appreciate the difference

Sooo, i decided that the leaves that were getting no light and that the plant was naturally killing had to be removed as well as some initial ramifications that hadnt grown so much and were not forming any buds. I ended using powerzyme the other day and I will be using fast food minerals (BAC) mixed with some foliar alg-a-mic and see how they feel about it.
The smaller ones seem to be streching so much more in this vegetation stage that i am afraid i will have 5 monsters in a couple of weeks.
I know that there is a lot of discussion about pruning autos or not, i personally decided to go with a SOG though initially i was thinking more of a SCROG, but things got a little out of hand and i think it was the perfect moment, 3 weeks more to flower and recover from the stress.
I will update in a couple of days.

2 days after the defoliation the plants seem to be doing all right, buds are progressively getting bigger (or at least that´s my impression) and they are still getting taller, I honestly wasn´t expecting this size from an autoflowering strain, I´m very pleased with this LSDs. To get them through all this stress and since I had been only adding enzimes to the water for about 10 days, I started again with BACs Fast Food minerals yesterday (2,5ml/L though BAC says 4) and they loved it. Some of them were starting to have their leaves a little bit sad and they are now just reaching as much as they can to the light as you can appreciate in the video.
End of the week
Buds just seem to be getting bigger and i think they are no longer growing taller, they seem happy. Watering them every 2 days with 1 liter of water - food - water... and they seem to be fine with nutrients for the moment.
I am starting to see quite a lot of polen in some of them! Happy with that, lets see how big those buds can get. I´ve been having some temperature problems for two days (29ºC) and i hope I can get it solved tomorrow or so.
Any thoughts on the grow are welcome 😁
I am watering them a bit more than 1L f water every 2 days and allways adding nutrients, I give them Fast food + Shogun + Auto Stimulator + Calmag and 2 days after bio-bloombastic + calmag. Once every two weeks I also add bloombastic in both feedings since it is a low PK (1312, funny number though 👊😋) due to its organic procedence.
The LSDs are the taller plants in the back and in the right wall of the grow tent and the ones in the center are blueberrys
Overall I am very happy, LSDs are getting really mean main colas and it seems to me that they are not going to be ready this week, which is not what Barneys said but is better for me in order to get a greater harvest, and to be honest, me being a first time grower might have also played a role on the process lasting a little longer since I slightly overfed them the first week of flowering. I must also say that this is an exceptional genetic, I mean they are sooo sticky and have such a nice smell that I am crazy to try them once I finish.
Also, I am going to try and get a narchotic effect on these LSDs by harvesting them when all the trichomes turn brown after a 5 day root washing
