Rollerboy Mixed up the Coco with Perlite, also added some Wormcast ( only had about 1 liter ) and some Plagron Bio supermix ( about 5 tablespoons ).
For a total of about 40 liters of growth medium.
Planted the seeds a little too deep, so it took a while for the last 2, to burst through the surface layer.

Rollerboy Slowly growing. I bend down the tops, started feeding them GHE Flora series 3 part nutrients, 0,5ml/l first feed, give them about 350ml every second day. They took the nutrients just fine so i added 0,7ml/l as the chart suggests on the second feeding.

Rollerboy The plants are creeping up on the lamp, thought the stretch was over last week, i have a few seedling plants down below, so i can´t really hang the lamp much higher just yet. Hope the autos can take the light since its at 100%, the only way my seedlings get enough. But i am thinking about fixing that with a smaller growtent, perhaps next month i will upgrade my setup ?

Rollerboy The plants have started to produce resin, it´s not much but it´s there. Don´t think you can see it in the pictures, sorry but i only have my phone for taking pictures. Would be nice to have enough space to be able to take the plants out of the tent, put them under a light meant for photography and then shoot some pictures with a nice camera. But alas i do not have the space for it. Maybye i can afford a decent camera sometime down the road. But that does not help with the space problem. Wonder what the Japanese people do ? I heard they live in tiny apartments, maybye i can learn how to live in a small space from people living in Tokyo ?
Well i sure hope the stretch is over, the plant on the far left has grown too close to the lamp, i raised it up a bit, but the plant starting to change leaf colour, i think it´s light stress, did try to include a few pictures of it. Thing is i have a few Photo´s in here as well, i raised them up but if i turn the light down a nudge to 75%, i do not think the Photo´s will get enough light, and i can´t raise them up higher, just don´t have the room for it. The Photo´s i have planned to scrog, will buy nets for that soon and put up when the Auto´s are finished.
Don´t have much to say about them, seems to be handling the nutrients just fine for now.

Rollerboy It would be so nice if i could add daily picture to my journal here, especially now that the bud development is getting interesting.
The plant on the left side of the tent grew to close to the lamp during it´s stretch, i did raise the lamp a bit but the plant is suffering from light stress, can´t really raise the light up much higher since i have 3 Photo´s growing in front of the auto´s, they need all the light they can get.
The buds are developing nicely, a bit of resin is forming on the smaller leaves, nothing much yet ( sure am hoping for more ), also a bit of smell is coming off the plants but nothing strong yet, my cheap carbon filter is still holding out.

The plants suffer from some deficiencies, i switched the cal mag since i ran out.
Wish i could make daily updates, i try and add to the comments, not sure anyone sees it ?

I will use Ripen for one more week and then flush them for a few days with Final Phaze from Advanced nutrients.

Flawless Finish

Rollerboy Last week for these 4 auto´s !
I flushed the plants with Advanced nutrients Final phaze ( now Flawless finish ), will give them this untill the end of their life cykle along with some cal mag extra.
I need the space in the tent so i can´t let them go any longer, they should be finished by now, but for me especially the Apple fritter on the right, under the oscillating fan does not look to be all finished yet. But i need the space for my 3 Photo´s so they really have to get harvested sometime soon.
I am not satisfied with their trichome production, maybye it´s on my end, maybye it´s genetics, i really don´t know ? But for me i´m not growing auto´s in my tent anytime soon, will focus on Photo´s and maybye find in a regular seed batch, a keeper mom.
This was my first run in a little over 7 years, i used to grow my own auto´s and photo´s, the auto i had, had litterally no veg time, it just flowered and i never experienced and deficiencies with them.
These did show a bit of deficiencies, i have read that it is normal with the commercial auto´s, i don´t appriciate that, i prefer that my plants are picture perfect, i can usually achieve that using Mineral salt nutrients in Coco coir / Perlite. I only added about 1 liter of Wormcast to the about 35 - 40 liters of Coco coir / Perlite mix, that i used as a medium, i also added a few tablespoons of Plagron Bio supermix for some extra nutrients and Mychorrizal action. I wish i had had more Wormcast, but i am not sure that would have helped with the deficiencies. Ok one of the Blue cheese auto´s were much worse but they all produced some rock hard nuggets.
They did not seem to respond to the Flawless finish like i was used to see photo´s do.
I must admit i did not smell it much when i harvested them, the photo´s were taking over the tent, shadowing out the auto´s, so i had to do something, besides they were all ready to be harvested.
All 4 auto´s are hanging drying now, i will include a picture of the 3 of them hanging upside down in my tent, i have to control the smell and that is the only place i have a carbon filter for now, the last Blue cheese auto was too big to fit inside the tent, so i have it hanging in my bath stall with a jar of Ona gel under it and a fan blowing down below.
This is my first diary and i did make a mistake, not waiting for the seeds to sprout, i just started it after putting the seeds in the soil.
All seeds popped !
They grew somewhat consistently, i did like the final height they had, they produced rock hard nuggets, so that´s all fine.
If i´m ever going to grow these again, i will probably do it outside during spring / summer, or if i need to re-veg a photo i might run some auto´s along with that.
Don´t know if i can update this diary later on with a final smell and smoke report after drying and curing ? If so i will do that.

Rollerboy It was finally time to harvest the 4 auto´s, the photo´s i had in the tent had overgrown them, and they were ready, i did not check the trichomes with my phone, i don´t think that there were that many to see anyway.
Got sticky fingers when i stripped them though, so that´s a plus and shows they did produce some resin.
Root balls looked healthy, and they did produce some rock hard nuggets, not sure i will grow them in my tent again, but if i get the chance to grow them outside, i will do that.
1 out of 2 showed some serious signs of deficiencies, i did not appriciate that.
2 out of 2 seeds popped !
Grew some rock hard nuggets !
Fairly easy to grow, except for the deficiencies !
I wrote a whole lot in the Apple fritter report, read that.

Rollerboy I finally harvested the 4 auto´s, the 3 photo´s i have in the tent, had overgrown them almost completely, besides they were ready to be harvested.
Plants did not seem to respond to the Flawless finish, but i only flushed them for 5 days with it before i had to harvest.
Will i ever grow auto´s again in my tent, yes probably, i used to grow my own auto, it was a cross of (Lowrider 1 x Blueberry x N.Y.C Diesel) x (Belladonna x Lowrider2), all seeds were auto, they grew uniform, no veg time, just flower and very short, like the size of a 1/2 liter soda bottle, with no deficiencies, and after it showed sex, i planted the females into 2liter pots and put them into my flower cabinet, under 12/12 lights. If i can produce something like that again, i will grow it. And i will also have to grow some regular autos once in a while, to cross with whatever i have as mother plants, when i get there. All in time and only perhaps !
These seeds i would probably only grow outside, if i ever get a chance to do that somewhere.
Thanx ! I used to grow Lowriders from Joint Doctor, i had succesfully bred them for 6 generations, they were shorter and did not need to get bend down. I also grew my own creation called Rollerboy Micro, they were even smaller than the lowriders. Sadly i got busted and the cops confiscated all my seeds, now i just buy the seeds i need, i do not really have the space to breed my own anymore.
@Momentum
, as i can see it has a cal mag issue, like it's depleting the medium and nutrients off magnesium, i feed it Advanced Cal mag extra now, just started using it, before i had the Advanced O.G Organic cal mag extra, also bought a bottle of Terra Aquatica Cal mag, and i found i have an old bottle of mono nutrient Magnesium. Do you think it's too late to correct the deficiency ? I can add some Magnesium to the nutrient solution with the Cal mag extra, just have no idea how much to add ? Also just switched to Ripen, full strength for the last 2 weeks of feeding.
If you look at my other plant, the O.G. Kush from Barneys farm, it has deficiencies too, i just uploaded pictures of the leaves. This is on the older leaves, and just the one set of leaves have them, no other leaves infected by it.
@Rollerboy, calmag issue shows at first on the underst leaves, so i dont know it. but no matter, they will survive the last 3 weeks 😀 we have a question corner here on gd, please ask them
The 2 Apple fritter auto.
Normally i would see a change in the plants after a few days of giving them Flawless finish, but there is no change in these plants, can´t say that i´m extatic about these auto´s, not that many trichomes on the buds and it´s ugly with the deficiencies they have, they are not picture perfect.
Tent update, dealing with high humidity, hope these ladies makes it to the end of their flowering cykle without getting budrot or powdery mildew. The photo´s just took over, maybye i should have waited just one more week to start them up.
Update picture, saturday.
The one on the far right really responded to the Magnesium, i started to add 1,4ml / Liter. The rest of the plants, not so much, yet.
