First autoflower

This first week was really exciting but nerve wracking as well. I started with 2 red poison seeds but only one sprouted. So sad too. I do water it 3 times a day with a spray bottle to keep the soil moist since I do have it outdoors during the day. Once the sun starts to go down I'll move it indoors and put a full spectrum LED light for 5 hrs. I try to have at least 20 hrs of light and 4 hrs of darkness. Hopefully I can have the right guidance from this great community.

The plant is doing great. I did feed it with some liquid seaweed with molasses and used RO water ph at 6.5 My soil ph level is at 7.0 I know that's neutral but I want to get the soil ph lower so I'll be adding some peat moss to help with that. The lighting schedule is still the same. I am really enjoying the learning experience from growing this plant. Feel free to point me in the right direction guy's.

This week went well. I finally fed the plant and soil with some compost tea. I used some compost, worm castings, liquid seaweed, molasses, and liquid fish fertilizer. I let it brew for 24 hr before feeling. Kept the ph at 6.5 and the run off was 6.8 I am going to give the compost tea every Wednesday and just regular RO water ph at 6.5 when ever the soil is dry. I was thinking of using the floral series but I want to see how it grows with compost tea and some really good soil.

What a amazing week with this auto. The auto is finally showing that it's a female. I had no idea if they were feminized seeds or not. I feed her some compost tea again and the ph was 6.5 The run off was pretty high at 6.9. I will give her some tea every 7 to 10 days.( I always feed her every 7 days with tea and the other days the top soil is dry I just water her with RO water ph at 6.5 .

Week 5 had been amazing just that this week we had 3 days of rain which was great for the plant. I gave her some Tea again except that this time I use the rain water I collected. Which was ph at 6.3 and the run of off was ph at 6.8 The plant is around 10 inches now and I am starting to notice some red/purple lines on the stems. The smell is weak but it is still a little early to judge. I would really like some feedback you guys.

This week has been a hectic week. It's been really hot with dry air so I have had to water the plant 4 times this week with RO water ph at 6.5. That's not including the DOWN TO EARTH nutrients I feed every 7 days. The plus side is that the red poison is starting to show her nice buds and the smell is starting to kick in. I keep smelling a hint of sweetness from the red poison. She is still green but I'm hoping that in time the red poison will pick up the purple color. The LST training I've done has kept the red poison short but its starting to get wider and wider. I think this red auto may need more than 8 weeks to harvest from the way it's looking now. If any of you guys want to share your knowledge with me pls do. The red poison is 12 inches tall but it's not noticeable because of the LST. Maybe next time I grow this strain again I will not do any LST

The auto is doing good. The bus are starting to form really nice. It is nice and dense with the smell of a earthiness and smell of fruits. Like a fruity smell as well. I have kept the feeding schedule the same except that I added more of the bone meal. We have had some rain ass well with a cold front but it hasn't affected the auto. I just had a few issues with slugs but that was a easy fix with copper.

This week has been a rough,cold, and rainy week. We were hit with a cold front so it put us in a little situation. Also the plant is really starting to get bigger as far as the buds go. The buds are dense and really have a strong smell to them now. Like a earthy musky smell. I do not think I am going get the 3 oz that I would of liked but for it being outside and a auto I really can't complain. I am really enjoying the sugar leaves and I cant wait to make some edibles with the trim and some bud. I do wish the plant would of had the purplish color like some other images but I this pheno type is all good with me. I was checking the plant to see if she is ready and I am assuming she still has another wee or two till it's time to harvest.

Today marks week 9 of the red poison auto flower. I started the flushing process this week. The Trichomes were starting to get milkiy on week 8 so I decided to flush the plant since I am looking for 65 to 80 % of milkiy for my final product. I am going to flush for 2 week for the best results (in my opinion) since the medium I am using is soil. Instead of feeding her nutrients on October 16 2019 I just gave her the 1.5 gallons of PH(FOR SOIL 6 - 6.8) water with molasses.. I checked the run off water and the PH was 6.8 and my PPM was high at 1336. So on October 19 2019 I did a extreme flush of my auto in a 7 gallon soil pot. (I have tried flushing with certain agents in the past but from my experience and opinion I feel that flushing with just PH water works fine.) Well I flushed the plant down from 1336 to 336. I would have preferred a PPM level below 200 but the water I am using has a PPM level of 270. I actually ended up using 18 gallons of PH water to flush the plant in order to bring the PPM down from 1336 to 336. The PPM kept kept going down and then back up again after every flush so I had to keep adding gallons of water in order to make sure that at least half of the nutrients were washed from the soil. From this point on I will no longer feed her nutrients. I will just give her the regular amount of PH water I've always given her except the only difference is that I will no longer add nutrients to the water. The only thing I will add is molasses in the PH water in her regular feeding schedule. I am hoping to harvest around the 26 of October.

Week 10 was a great week with the auto. I had flushed her for 2 weeks with just PH water and some molasses. I wanted to make sure that soil was flushed of most of its nutrients. On Monday October 22 I had to flush her with 8 gallons because the run off was at 575ppm. I got the ppm below 400ppm with the last watering.. Wednesday was the day I gave her water because I intend to harvest her on October 26 2019. Before I had cut her down I did give her 24 hrs in complete darkness and after the 24 hrs I chopped her down. After I chopped her down I did wash the plant in a 5 gallon tub of water with 3% of hydrogen peroxide for 60 seconds and then I washed her in plain water for a quick rinse off for another 60 seconds. I always wash all of my outdoors plants to wash off any pest, dog hairs, and mold. I wasn't so sure about washing the autoflower since it was my first autoflower but I figured it wouldn't hurry it since I always wash my outdoors photo period plants. After I washed the autoflower I hung her upside down with a fan on to circulate the air and to help dry the plant.. (if you ever decided to wash your plants make sure you can dry the in a 2 to 4 hr time period) I just wanted to share this information on how I PH my water. I always use lemons to bring my PH down. If I ever need to bring my PH up I use baking soda. I wonder if you guys have used lemons to bring your PH down. I chopped her down on Saturday October 26 2019 in the morning and I was finished in the afternoon. That's chopping the plant, washing the plant, letting the plant air dry before wet trimming. Then I finally wet trimmed the plant and hung her upside down in a pre made cardboard box . I am going to let the plant dry anywhere from 4 to 10 days checking up on her every other to see when I can start the curing process. The final wet weight was 40 grams but it is going to be a lot less when she is dry. I am going to post the final product after the proper curing time. ( well what works for me.) This was a great learning experience with a autoflower. I can't wait to grow another autoflower just so I can learn even more. ... thank you guys who have been keeping up with my grow and those who have shown lots of luv and support... thank toy very much and im be back with the final product after curing the autoflower.

This was a really good learning experience with the RED POISON AUTOFLOWER from sweet seeds. This plant surprisingly easy to grow outdoors. The genetics of the plants were amazing as well. Well after harvesting the auto on the 26th of October i was able to dry the plant for 5 days. A little faster than I would of liked to but here in the south the weather is hot. I started the curing process after drying[October 31 2019]and have been burping the jars a couple of times a day for the first week. The RH has stayed at the 58% during the burping stages. The smell to me is a earthy/ fruity smell. A strong cannabis smell to it. I literally just smoked a gram with ppl who's opinion matter to me. They were all high just like I was. Everyone enjoyed the taste but it still needs a good week or two. The high had us high with one friend falling asleep and the rest of us were in these conversations that we never have.. Really good head and body high. I actually enjoyed growing this strain and I can not wait to grow in again. This time I will grow it indoors so can get a way better yield. I really want to thank you guys who supported me and I'll definitely put some smoke in the air for you guys.
