First Ever Grow

The808Mango 6/9/26 and it’s officially first day of veg for these girls! Possibly second day of veg for the Guava Auto RF3. Nonetheless, these girls are looking healthy. Over the past 3 days, had quite a bit of confusion with the ACI AI+ and the triggers for the inputs for humidity/AC/Vent. Disconnected the terraform, since the room sits at about 75*F and with the T3 humidifier running, temp gets down to about 72*F. Now currently sits even at 72*F and 72%RH. Plants were fed with 30-40ml of aerated tap water pH of 6.76 EC of 588. Left the humidity dome on the Charlottes Angels since it still hasn’t rid itself of the shell and still needs to stretch. UPDATE: After my 8hr work shift, came home to Charlotte’s Angel CBD finally broken out of her shell and stretched her legs out fully! Officially Day 1 🤙🏽

The808Mango 6/16/26 it’s nearing my birthday and the girls need some food. It’s day 7 of veg and they’ve grown their first set of serrated leaves on 6/9 and just been getting better. Opened the tent up to see the Guava RF3 leaning, almost laying on its side. Staked a chopstick in the dirt to help it get off the dirt and standing straight. Hopefully she’ll grow straight up. The Charlottes Angel is doing well and the soil is pretty dry. I’ve been water every 2ish days. But this watering is 3 days. Decided not to start feeding any nutrients, since there seems to be no deficiencies just yet. So 60ml of 6.4pH water will do. 0.4EC, 327ppm at 77*F. So far they’ve been getting about 200ppfd of light, so I’ve upped it to 238ppfd going forward hoping to increase to 260ish and then 300ppfd within the next few feedings going into week 3-4 veg.

The808Mango 6/23 no watering for today as the soil is still moist from her last watering. 6/20 was transplant day. The Guava Auto RF3 was reaching past her pot edges and I’ve decided to go ahead and transplant the girls into their final homes. I know there’s a lot of people who’d rather start the seeds directly into their forever homes, but I deliberately did this to challenge myself and see the difficulty. Not very difficult, but very heart racing lol. I could’ve waited for them to stretch and get bigger, but I’d rather not risk it since they’re both autoflowers. If they’re going to flop, I’d rather now than later. But they have taken very well to the transplant and have been loving it! Bottom layer is a mix of FFOF and 30% added perlite. Then topped with FFHF and mixed with earthworm castings and the transplant hole was dusted with Mycorrhizae powder. They were then watered with 500ml of aerated pH corrected water. 6/28/26 just about the end of Week 3, both girls have grown considerably. Guava Auto RF3 is the bigger sister, and decided to try my hand at LST 22 days out. Using a BudClip, I trained her out on her main stem and removed one of her lower fan leaves due to it smashing into the soil. I’ll be checking back in on 6/30 for a feeding and adjusting the BudClip Over the past week, the grow light has been adjusted from 297ppfd to 381ppfd and they’ve been loving it. Next feeding will be another adjustment going into the 400ppfd range. Yesterday 6/27 was also the implementation of the night cycle. Thought I’d try it out since it is an available feature. Day Cycle sits about 76-77*F/64-66%RH 1.00-1.02VPD 18/6 light cycle Night Cycle sits at 73*F/62%RH

The808Mango 6/30 started LST as mentioned in my last updated post in Week 3; Guava auto has seemed to be making really good bounce backs from training and today has been about 2 or 3 days since doing so. Today, I ended up chopping a few leaves off to introduce more light and airflow to the bottom sites and adjusting the BudClip off the main stem as well as the plant ties that’s holding down the main top cola. I still decided to leave the Charlottes Angel untrained and see how it does. I also started adjusting the night cycle and took the T3 humidifier and the Terraform 8 off the AI program and put them on Automation. With the night cycle program in place, it didn’t seem to utilize the terraform and humidifier as great; temps didn’t go down and humidity stayed around 68-70%. Now it reaches 66*F and 50-55%RH on night cycle. Also started feeding 1 liter of dechlorinated tap water, up from 500ml. Along with that, the girls now sit at about 460ppfd or 29.8 DLI. The girls should respond well to the added light strength and the increase in feeding.

The808Mango 7/5 started to feed them bottle nutrients. Using the Cronk Nutrient Bonnie&Clyde auto flower line; mixed about 1-2ml of feed along with silica, cal mag, sticky bandit, and monkey juice in 2.5gal of dechlorinated tap water and got an increase of 1500ml per feeding 7/8 the girls seemed to like the nutrients and have grown more leaves and really bushed up. I’m going to hit the brakes on defoliation and apply more leaf tucking to encourage more growth and allow for the stretch of the branches and allow for more bud sites. Both were held down with landscape staples. Today, they were fed with the same cronk nutrients but at 1/2 strength instead of the 1/4 strength. Grow light strength has also been increased to about 780ppfd
