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
BioBizz nutrients
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
