HCM-2.2:Tangerine Dream Auto:SpaceBucket

This is a second attempt at growing an auto strain. I have, this time, planted in a neutral (read: non-fertilized soil) and will be feeding with half-strength liquid nutrients. The soil is 2:1:1 ratio Ecoscraps 1/4" sifted, with 1/4" compost, and perlite I am growing this in a 32 gallon Brute can "Space Bucket" that I whipped together in a few hours. I chose the space bucket method for this auto grow because I can keep it separate from my photoperiod grow currently ongoing which will save space in the grow tent and allow me to better control the growth of the auto flower plant. Height is an issue for this plant, so I will be doing some LST on it in a circle growth. Light: 300W (90W true) Roleadro "UFO" LED. === Week 4 20171223 - 20171229 --- 20171227: Day-25: Water+ Nutrients === Week 5 20171230 - 20180105 --- 20180101: Day-30: Water + Nutrients 20180105: Day-34: Water + Nutrients (Half way there, more or less!) 20180105: Day-34: Pruned bottom 2 fan leaf nodes and pruned the bottom most cola node. the bottom leaves were completely shrouded by the canopy and the bottom colas were weak, thin, and hidden in the canopy. 20180105: Day-34: Trained fan leaves down and under the cola nodes. Trained some cola nodes down. Pruned lobes from the larger fan leaves blocking the trained colas. === Week 6 20180106 - 20180112 --- 20180110: Day-39: Water + Nutrients === Week 7 20180113 - 20180119 --- Flowering likely started last week... but the buds are very apparent now. I created a stand to raise the light in the brute can as the plant was getting too close to it during the stretch. --- 20180117: Day-46: Water + Nutrients. === Week 8 20180120 - 20180126 --- 20180122: Day-51: Pruned bottom node fan leaves for air flow. 20180122: Day-51: Water + Nutrients
