Castafunk First indoor planting on a small budget. Box 60x60, MH Superveg 250w bulb for growth (very good bulb), HPS 250W for flowering (not tested yet but doubtful about the quality). TT 125 extractor and 125 VKO intake, thermometer/hygrometer, fan. Not high-end but gets the job done.
3-liter air humidifier, 3 speeds, second-hand for €13, works super well (70% humidity).
Platinum Light Mix soil

3 11L flower pots I had in stock, I'll get better ones next time.

Castafunk Good growth. One plant is developing faster, the seed was bigger than the other two, maybe that's it. No deficiencies.

Castafunk Installing the Marshydro TS 1000 LED light to start the flowering phase. The plants measure between 25 and 42 cm, no deficiencies. Humidity dropped to 60%, fertilizer used moderately (one watering out of two since the autoflowers need fewer nutrients due to their short cycle).
Added on 09/25 a 50W Relassy LED directed at the smallest plant for testing.
09/25 the largest plant measures 47 cm
09/27 the largest plant measures 51 cm, the two smaller ones are 29 and 27 cm and are starting to stretch nicely.

Castafunk Day 30, the plants measure 56 cm for the tallest and 33 cm for the smallest. Regular stretch, no deficiencies. The flowers are developing slowly.
Slight defoliation so that the lower buds can benefit from the light.
A small issue on one plant (the others are doing well). A few spots on the leaves and in the center, I posted two photos. If anyone has an idea. I put in a pH probe, I'll see the result tomorrow.

Castafunk here we go, we’re starting the sixth week! After some overwatering and overfeeding issues, I’m now watering with plain water without nutrients and in smaller amounts while my plants recover. These are what we call beginner mistakes, but who hasn’t made them!
I thank the great master LaBOSSANOVA and the padawan Weedaman for their wise advice 😁
The plants measure 64 cm, 43 cm, and 37 cm respectively; I’ve raised the two smaller plants so they can benefit more from the light, the stretch is visible day by day and the buds are developing well. The smell is becoming more pronounced.

Castafunk After the issues in week 6, the plants have regained vigor and the buds are developing well. I set up a new tent measuring 100 X 100 X 200, the plants are breathing better, and this will allow me to increase the number of plants in the next session. For lighting, I still have the Marshydro TS 1000, which does the job well, paired with a Philips SON-T Pia 250W HPS that works really well. Of course, the temperature has risen to a constant 25/26 °, but that's not a bad thing since the outside temperatures are gradually dropping. Added an oscillating fan for better ventilation.
Castafunk In flushing for two plants. Nutrients for the 3rd plant that is a bit behind in flowering.
Slight defoliation
100% crystalline trichomes

Magnificent 😍 you really nailed it! 🙏 I hope you learned a lot from this grow because I'm counting on you to level up for the next one 😉 You know that the force is within you 💪 Congrats again buddy, good luck with your grow. May the force be with you 🤐
Rplweedawan, thank you, my friend. The plants continue to bloom and the resin is more present and the smell TGRINNGP. The trichomes are still very crystal-clear, I grease up to the WE and then I will rinse or displace again if necessary. I'm happy for a first culture it goes not too bad, the strength is with me 💪
Hey, hello, congratulations! It's never too late, and you'll see that passion helps you learn quickly. If you need advice, don't hesitate at all. May the force be with you!
@Castafunk, don't rush, don't ruin such a beautiful run for a few days... keep an eye on your trichomes, they should be milky and at least 10% amber. If necessary, take one or two buds to hold you over 😊
Ola je trouve tes feuilles tombantes tu devrais y aller tranquille avec l'arrosage sous pèse ton pot avant et ca va aller après 😉
Que la force soit avec toi !💪
@Master_Weeda, hello. In fact, the little ones were thirsty! watering has been done with fertilizer inputs that go well (1 watering out of two). 😉
May the strength be with you 💪
@CastaFunk,c'est bon signe augmente progressivement l'engrais et eau claire une fois sur trois pour avoir des beaux buds😜
Et bien sûr que la force soit avec toi !💪
L'engrais c mieux dans mettre moins que trop cela brûle les racines et ralenti la croissance de la plante j'en ai fais les frais malheureusement !
Sinon bravo pour un premier run c'est beau franchement
Moi à cette période de la croissance 🌱j'utilise systématiquement du savon noir en prévention et croi moi c'est le top je le fais tout les 4 jours jusqu'à la flo c'est radical contre de nombreux nuisible
Encore bravo🙏 et que la force soit avec toi 💪
Hey @Master_weeda, this morning I watered without nutrients, I do it every other time (like you suggested 😄). I wait until my pots are light and then I give them a good fill of water, emptying the saucers afterward. I read that autoflowers, due to their quick cycle, require fewer nutrients and that it's better to water well every 4 to 6 days and wait again for the substrate to be a bit dry and the pots light rather than watering often in small amounts. For now, I haven't noticed any pests, but yes, I've also seen that black soap is great for that in a spray.
@CastaFunk,maintenant que tu maitrise l'arrosage tu devrais te mettre au LST crois moi c pas très difficile et c'est primordial car tu augmente de au moins 20% ton rendement final le palissage (LST) te permet de contrôler la hauteur de ta plante 🌱mais surtout de faire une canopé homogène ce qui te permet de faire murir tes buds en même temps fais moi confiance et lance toi lors de ton prochain run 😉
Je sent la force en toi 😗
N'esite pas à liké mes coms ca me fais grimper dans la hiérarchie car j'aspire à être un jour maître weeda 🏆😅
Que la force soit avec toi 💪
@Master_weeda, yes the LST is planned for the next session, it doesn't seem too complicated. I hadn't realized about the likes, I'll fix that right away 👍 May the force be with you
@Master_Weeda, yes it rises fast, the large (it was the biggest 💪 seed) is 42 cm and the others follow well. The led Marshydro to make are effect and in addition it heats less 😃 . Only regret at the moment the size of my pots not too adapted to my space. Next session 11L pots bought in shop perfectly adapted and Northern Light auto received as a gift from RQS 😛 , I want to order also the Royal Critical auto.
May the force be with you 🙏
@CastaFunk,salut ne fais pas la même erreur que moi opte directement pour des airpots ( mon prochain achat ) si tu te lance dans les autofloraison prends des 11 litres car les autos ce cultive dans leur pot définitif le rempotage les stresse et c pas bon.pour elles
Que la force soit avec toi 💪
@Master_weeda, hey, I germinated under paper towels in a box and planted directly into the final pots, I read quite a few tutorials about it 😃, the pots are 11L but two are too wide. For my next session, I’m going to look into it and check out airpots 😉
@Growbodys_Nerfect, hey, I put it to germinate in the box on 08/22, so I'm at 34 days today. The development of the plants matches the description of this strain. I hope it will have a good yield!
take it easy with the nutrients and once every three or four waterings just use water and pay attention to your flushing, it's essential. happy growing and may the force be with you!
