6-18-19 MONSTER COOKIES - ALL 3 SEEDS FAILED
-Germinated 2 seeds in wet paper towel in plastic bag. This will be my first real only auto grow. Since I'm moving soon(-2 months) I don't want to have to move a tent full of buds if it happens sooner, so perfect time to try some quick autos.

So bought some 4 Assed Monkey by Mephisto Genetics and will be running those when I get them...

Germinated x3 4 Assed Monkey in wet paper towels inside a plastic bag
6-26-19
Transplanted seeds with tap roots into solo cups of pure coco
6-29-19
They have some life! They are about 1.5inches tall, little seedlings.
7-6-19
One has something weird going on with its single leaves, hopefully she grows through it. Feeding @ 250ppm 5.8pH
7-8-19
Transplanted into 1 gallon Radicle Bags, added 35% perlite to one, 50% perlite to another, and added some hydroton clay balls to the last one. Hopefully the pots don't compact as much with the perlite and hydroton.

2 of them are doing well, the other one not so much. 3 days ago she started showing some browning on the leaves, so I flushed your with ph adjusted water and a light nutrient feed to try and reset her, and I was hoping to see some improvement in the new growth. Hopefully she pulls through....
7-13-19
Two are doing great, one not so much. I have no idea what's going on with the runt, but I'm kinda pissed, considering the seeds were pretty expensive.... Feeding @ 450-500ppm 5.8pH

Going in to week 3 and so far not much happening.
7-18-19 Day 24 From Seed
Hooked the 2 girls up to the auto feed system, and being fed 2x during lights on. Started to tie them down a bit to get some of the lowers to grow up a bit.
Wish the third one pulled through, but after a week with no growth at all, I figured I messed her up some how some way and culled her.
7-23-19 Day 29 From Seed
One plant seems to be doing great and the other one looks to have stopped growing and showing some problem on the lower leaves.
So far, one plant had something wrong with it probably from the get go with weird leaf coloring and now this second one seems stalled out and hasnt grown much the past few days... I dont know what's going on with these autos but I feel jipped of money at this point... 1* for autos
7-27-19 Day 34 From Seed
One is still doing great, the other one hasn't done anything in over a week. Started to see some pistils, which means they started to flower.
This grow sucks is all I can say. Won't be doing any autos anytime soon.
7-29-19
1 of the ladies is doing well, the other is still lagging way behind and seems to not be getting any bigger. The only thing I can think of that I changed was adding the perlite. Also the other plant that had perlite also had issues with not growing.... Hmm
7-31-19
Definitely in flower now. The big one is doing great the small one is doing OK Both showing slight signs of CA Def so upped the calmag a bit.
8-6-19 Day 45 From Seed
Boosted their feed to 1.1-1.2ec @ pH 6.0-6.3. Ones doing well, the other is still having leave problems that I can't figure out what wrong. I've Flushed, I've lowered ec, just don't know what's wrong with her.
8-12-19 Day 57 From Seed
Been absolutely crazy busy the past couple of weeks, so haven't been able ylto update as much as I want. Since the last update, I have been trying to figure out what went wrong with the 2 plants in perlite. It turned out that it was a case of super low ph I believe and when I was flushing I wasn't doing it enough to raise the root zone ph. Hopefully I'll keep an eye out and see if there's any change in health.
So far I don't see these finishing in their projected time frame.. It seems I probably messed them up somehow somewhere.
Also was informed that I should increase my base nutrients, cut out my calmag as the base and tap should have enough unless I have issues.
8-18-19
The big plant has been going strong. The little ones leaves continue to die off slowly. At this point she's a lost cause , but I want to fix her so I know what started this in the first place!
8-21-19
Changing out the water about every 7-9 days as needed. Feeding @ 650-700ppm,5.8pH. The one good plant left seems to be doing great, starting to put the Frost on and starting to smell great.
8-26-19
Girl 1 is doing great, starting to get frosty and stinking. #2 on the other hand is still devouring her own leaves, will end with no leaves left and barely any buds.
Looking into upgrading my lights to Leds. Having a hard time making up my mind at this point, ilmy choices are the HLG 600h Rspec and the Grower's Choice ROI-E680. It's a hard decision
8-31-19
#1 is sticky, stinky, and good looking, #2 is devouring her leaves still but trying to produce for me. They are coming to the end soon, maybe a week or 2 to let them gain more weight (maybe) will start flushing first sign of amber trichs
Ended up going with the HLG 600H RSPEC led light. Man, this thing is alot brighter then I thought it would be. I hope it performs many times better than my 1k dimmed down to 750w.
9-3-19 Day 79 From Seed
Will start their flush when their res needs changing, probably tomorrow or Thursday.
9-8-19
Continuing to flush these two girls.
9-13-19
Tonight is the last night of water for these 2 girls. The lights will be shut off @ 1am on 9-14 and will be in the dark for atleast 36 hours and then will be cut down and hung to dry.
So overall this grow of autos was kind of a disappointment. In the end I'll have 1 plant that will hopefully be smokeable, and one that will probably be turned into hash maybe. I might try autos again, but this run left me with a sour taste for autos. Hopefully the bud is good!
Overall the grow wasn't that bad, other than loosing a plant early on and another having major problems throughout the whole grow. The one plant that did well seems to have come out well
