Well, It was my first time ever, and a messed up several times, when I noticed it was a bit late but it still made some diference to the end result.
At the beginning I was giving waaay to much water, then tooo much light, finishing with tooo many nutrients. Learned a lot with this experience ! Next time will be better for sure.
In the middle of the grow my auto didn't flower it self, due to me abusing it with light all the time, and it was too close, so I change the light to 12/12 sure enough she did flower after 5 days, then I started to watch a youtube channel called The Grow Boss and since then I change completely my methods, I started using the Perfect PPM worksheet as a reference and a PPM meter of course, and a lot change in my thought process about nutrients and such, less is more.
Also learn to water less often, like once every 5 to 7 days. Keep the lights at recommended distances or further away its very important too, I overlook this problem TWICE.
Towards the mid-end of the grow I did almost nothing, and its the best move, leave them alone and almost forget about them.
I used All-Mix from Biobizz and almost all the Biobizz line of nutrients, supplements and boosters and I quite like it so far, later then expected I added a bit of Cal-Mag from Atami, should have done it sooner.
I didn't wet trim, only removed the obvious dead leaves and hanged her to dry.
What I used:
1 - Secret Garden HydroShoot H40 Tent - 40cm;40cm;120cm
1 - Mars Hydro ECO 300 (110w)
1 - Set of yo yo's for the light
1 - 6 plug extension cord
2 - Digital timers - (Exhaust and light)
1 - Analog timer - (Fan)
1 - USB fan, later changed to oscillating fan from Secret Garden
1 - Vents exhaust fan 100mm
2 - Vents 100mm clamps
1 - Pure Factory 100mm Carbon Filter
1 - Corn Wall Thermohygrometer with probe
1 - Smart pot, 7,5L
1 - Random saucer
Some Pure Factory pieces of ducting and aluminum tape.
Biobizz - Used Grow, Fish, Bloom, Max, Alga-a-mic, Acti-vera, Heaven and PH Up and Down.
Atami - Used ATA Cal-Mag
Update 20/02/2020 - She dried for 7 days, and gave me 25.5 grams, placed her in a plastic bag with Boveda Gel 58%, inside of a TightVac container to cure.
it's very interesting to watch your diary. I wish you a hard harvest of buds.
What do you prefer to use a Bong or a joint. 4-20 Bro.
subscribed and watching your grow.👍
Excuse my newbie ignorance but how do you veg an auto for 8 weeks? Been growing autos for a couple years and they all start to flower at 3-4 weeks no matter the light schedule (tried 24, 20/4 and now I mainly use 18/6).
