Hi guys!
Back from a nearly 3-year trip to Africa for work, where growing was complicated (I had to make do with the local plant, full of seeds, branches and leaves 😉), I'm back home and getting back to my other job right away...
FIRST DAYS
-------------
I started some White Widow Auto under paper towel, then in peat pellet. No more than 48h to see the first one emerge !
MIDWEEK
-----------
After 96 hours, all the girls had emerged from the ground, even the youngest one who was late compared to her peers.
It begins 😊

The week is getting off to a good start, with the potting and installation of my new setup. Lots of work.
From the previous one, I only kept my two TS1000s; new tent, extractor, carbon filter, tower fans, and above all two FC1500-EVOs to boost the intensity!
I like coco coir, so I'm starting again with it + perlite + pozzolan at the bottom of the pot.
Five 15-liter geotextile pots (first try with it).
I ordered the Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco ; in a few days, the girls will get their first baby bottle 😇
MIDWEEK
-----------
Package received;
the baby plants have doubled in height, with no signs of stretching due to lack of light (my lamps are at 75% at 60 cm), and are a beautiful green color. The first leaves are developing without discoloration or curling.
So now they are getting their first real feed: just 1ml+1ml Sensi Grow. Next time I water them, I will add Voodoo Juice.

Hi there 👋
The plants are doing well, leaves are growing.
This week, I'm switching to 2ml+2ml of Grow A and B; I wanted to start using Voodoo but there's a slight delay in delivery (hard to find in stores in my area), so I'll extend its use by a week when I receive it in a few days.
I'm now watering the whole pot, focusing more on the edges so that the roots go and find their food throughout the whole substrate.
I'm also checking the water temperature now, aiming for 20°C, and I've installed a chlorine, limescale, and particle filter at the source, directly on my plumbing.
I haven't changed the height of the lamps, as it doesn't seem necessary at the moment, but I have set them all to 100%.
MIDWEEK
-----------
The Voodoo Juice arrived this morning 👌
First dose for the girls: 2 ml + 2+2 Grow A+B.
Same schedule until the end of the week: 3 waterings of 1 liter per plant.
So far, so good. Can't wait to see the Voodoo Juice in action 💪

FIRST DAYS

New week, new diet
The girls are getting 3+3ml of Grow A+B, and still 2ml of Voodoo.
Instead of 3 waterings of 1L, we are now doing 3 x 3L.
One of the girls has some minor burns, so I am keeping a close eye on that. An excess of nutrients seems unlikely to me, but I will see in a few days after this increase.
MIDWEEK

It's probably not just the Voodoo, but my girls have grown a lot this week. I think they like this little juice 😉The root system still has some work to fill the 15L of coco, but things are going well.
As for the small burns on the leaves, I think it's due to heat and/or wind stress: the temperature frequently rose to +35°C and the leaves were shaken by my fans, which were directed straight at them. I increased the speed of my filter and placed the fans facing the sides of the tent while increasing the air flow; we're back to an average of 30°C. To be continued.
But most importantly, the girls have developed 4-5 nodes... so it's training time! 👍
I know what many people think about topping autos, but I disagree; it clearly has the advantage of giving the plant an airy structure that is easy to control and produces denser buds when combined with mainlining and light lollipopping. My goal: a -branch structure, which may eventually develop a few side branches.
To achieve this, only one topping and some serious LST are needed. I'll try to film the whole process, training sess by training sess, and post the results here in a few weeks.
I'll also increase the nutrients to their final dose next week (4+4ml grow) and switch from Voodoo to B-52 (2ml).

FIRST DAYS

The girls tolerated the topping well; in three days, I found small bushy bushes in my tent.
So, a little mainlining to give them the desired shape, and a little splash of water with just Voodoo.
Tomorrow they will receive their 4ml Grow A+B, with 2ml B-52 this time.
PS: as you can see in the photo, a little mistake due to over-enthusiasm...
I damaged one, but the branch didn't break completely; a little bandage, we'll see if it recovers, if not it will do without that branch.
I've seen worse in a previous session, and it was my 3-branch plant that gave me the best harvest!
