Mixed old soil from previous grow (1600g (6.4L) biobizz + 466g (6.4L) perlite + 250g Flo (0.3L)) and filled it to a height of 16 cm in 2 15L AutoPot pots; about 6.4L per pot, still slightly moist, hence 4.8 kg; watered in the bathtub and let drain for 10 minutes; then placed in the AutoPots; filled the AutoPot reservoir;
Sticky Beast Auto seeds planted directly in the soil (since no Jiffy was available), Diesel Auto seeds in Jiffy;
Light set to the seedling phase at about 15-20cm distance from the plant, almost resting on the pot edges; ventilation on; (fan still off, as the seedlings can't handle it well yet and would need support)
9.1. Seedlings just barely visible on the surface.
12.1. Seedling with about 4cm stem, 2 round cotyledons, and 2 small normal serrated leaves.

22.1. Sticky Beast is growing fast and has gotten too close to the lamp. Leaves are curling at the edges. Raised the lamp. Diesel's growth is moderate but very bushy.
25.1. 13 and 16 cm, good growth.
26.1. Diesel FIMmed, Sticky Beast topped.

user78235 29.1. Diesel is recovering well, still rather small in stature. Sticky Beast is recovering too well, the side branches are overtaking the main stem. In the picture, you can see the branches on the front left and back right, and in the center of the image is the topped stem with the two new small shoots.
30.1. Quickly growing side branches of the Sticky Beast tied down with LST.
31.1. More quickly growing side branches of the Sticky Beast tied down with LST.

user78235 3.2.2020 Day 28: 33cm Sticky Beast main stem tied down with LST. I wanted to tie it down further in the evening, but it snapped. Small damage to the outer shell. I didn't tape it because I would have had to tie it back up, which I don't want to do. It's growing too fast for me. So I just left it as is. Maybe it will heal on its own. Otherwise, the main stem just got unlucky. Diesel is now growing vigorously upwards. Topping hasn't led to any noticeable side branches at first glance. Did I cut too little? Not really.
4.2. Sticky Beast seems to be recovering. It's already got buds. I've now tied Diesel down with LST as well. No buds yet.
6.2. Water tank empty - refilled. Everything is growing strong. Sticky Beast is recovering well.
9.2. 55cm both are growing well. Sticky Beast is flowering. Diesel not yet. Set to 12/12 flowering light.

user78235 12.2. Day 36: 55cm after LST. Due to the light spectrum, I still chose 12/12, even though it's autoflowering. Both are growing well. Sticky Beast is still blooming beautifully, Diesel has only the tiniest buds.
15.2. Day 39: 55cm unchanged. Sticky Beast is still blooming beautifully, Diesel has only the tiniest buds.

user78235 20.2. Day 44
Sticky Beast stays at 55cm and is only flowering now.
Diesel is now 65cm, buds are developing slowly.
21.2. Day 45: Diesel tied down with LST, partially bent in the process.
25.2. Day 49: Diesel seems to be recovering from the bending.
Sticky Beast is not growing anymore, and is flowering, and many pistils on the main cola are already brown.

user78235 28.2. Day 52, sticky Beast is blooming beautifully, the pistils are almost all brown, but the trichomes are still clear. I got myself a WiFi microscope. Works well.
29.2 Day 53 after the last harvest was disappointingly weak, I'm checking the trichomes this time instead of the pistils, until I'm sure the Sticky Beast is ripe.
1.3. Day 54 harvested sticky Beast. 85g fresh. 65g set aside to dry. 2*10g put in the oven with 50g for 3 hours. One of them was then mixed with cocoa and honey. Super potent.
user78235 Easy grow. Dwarf.
I must emphasize that my aim is a low maintenance grow which can be integrated in normal family routine. So don't expect high yields. No further nutrients, apart of the "Flo" solid organic nutrient added to the soil at the beginning.
Filled in jar for curing. Aerated regularly. After 2 weeks, added 1 pack 8g boveda 62%, stored it.
Made chocolate: infused&decarbed 3g weed in 50g butter in the oven for 1h30 at 130°C, sieved the grass out, added 20g pure cocoa powder and a little honey, stired thoroughly, poured in chocolate bar mould (24 pieces) cooled in fridge. One piece=light high, two pieces=good high. Perfect!

@Terence_McKenna, No definitely not. I can't remember why I used this picture?? Alas, I use only this diary, and have no other pics left. For harvesting, I have a USB camera to check the trichomes, wait until the first ones get golden and harvest then.
