First week. seeded wetted on 2-15. popped ground today is 2-18
From left in picture
- caramelino (oldest plant)
-strawberry cheesecake
- purple lemonade is the baby on the far right.
-wedding cake s1 (non auto) is tucked away in the back as well cant really see it
caramelino broke ground on 12-20
strawberry cheese was 1-20
purple lemonade was 2-18
2-28
couple days into week 2 for the purple lemonade. shuffled a few plants around. the strawberry cheesecake stopped growing vertically but now i am 3” into the danger zone on the main cola on being too close to the light. Will see what happens
purple lemonade is just getting onto a couple nodes now, its only in a 1 gallon but want to see how big i can run cocopeat in that size container as opposed to 3 gal-5 gal airpots
caramelino starts on flushing low nute phase. as she gets a fade she will get put into the empty flower tent for 48 hours of darkness before chopping. might experiment with a quick and easy paper bag dry, sick of trimming from the last plant. lol
the picture is of the cola top 15” from light when recommended is 18”, will monitor stress.
the fourth plant is wedding cake s1, currently root pruning in a small airpot before transplanting into a 7-10 gallon smartpot
Ok where do i start? To begin with i had a minor mishap at the beginning which was a started the plant on a 16/8 light cycle instead of 18/6 😂🤣, which definitely caused the plant to yield less than expected (not that i expect too much out of my veg tent autoflower)
When the plant started shooting preflower pistils at day 15 i knew something was up, changed the light cycle back to 18/6 and the rest of the grow went off without a hitch, other than the lost veg stage.
Either way the plant grew great just lost out on yield. Plant is currently jarred on a 1-2 time a day open and burp for couple mins schedule which it will stay for another week or so and then will just be opened when i take a bud out to a smaller jar for smoking.
Once the flower gets to approx 58-60% RH i only open the big jar to transfer a few buds to a small jar i smoke out of.
Color was very nice all around, including final dry flower color. i will upload some pictures but its hard using my iphone 6 to get decent shots compared to one of the newer generation phones.
I did not “pump” this plant full of light by any means, the three current diaries combined into one was/is a test run to dial in my veg tent for autoflowers ,so far so good
Total wattage in veg tent - fluctuated between 170-220
Total DLI on the caramelino auto - approx 25-35 (low end)
currently flushing strawberry cheesecake to get to harvest around week 11-11.5 from seed. looks good
purple lemonade is doing well it is only in a 1 gallon and i pumped her with nutes during veg so showing some clawing but it should even out within the next few weeks, dont have too much invested into the plant being its only a 1 gallon, just experimenting with autos this go around
wedding cake is getting big, soon as the strawberry cheese is finished and out of the flower tent wedding cake is going into the flower tent
All three plants doing great since the harvest of the caramelino.
The two small plants are (left side) wedding cake s1( not journaling on),
and purple lemonade (right side am doing the journal on)
the strawberry cheesecake was moved to my actual flowering tent and down to a 13/11 schedule
will have a more detailed week entry next week

Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
actually the strawberry cheesecake auto was started on 2-20 which makes it week ten currently from seed. i am thinking the plant may be done and ready to harvest. will update more in two days for week 5
starting to see some of the purplish/black colors starting in the main stem on the p.lemonade plant. also seeing the dark colors in the flowering calyxes.
strawberry cheesecake is approx 4-5 weeks in my estimation.
after the s.cheesecake is done the wedding cake will takenthe spot in the flower tent.
Caramelino auto was started on 12-24. tuesday of this week ,
3-3, will be the end of week 10 from seed. that was a very quick auto, i believe because i mistakenly started the plant under 16/8 instead of 18/6.
either way the pistils are roughly 95-99% dead and receded and she is sprouting a few foxtails. most trichomes are cloudy and/or milky with a few specks of amber here and there. ready to chop
