First time! Lil guy finally sprouted today after one failed attempt. Scrapped and had started over with some FoxFarms soil. I'm so excited! But I need to remind myself HANDS OFF.

She didn't gain much height, but she's sprouting more leaves! Watering when the soil feels dry, and just letting her hang out for now; I plan to do some LST, but would like some guidance on when to start that with an auto.

She's really starting to look like a plant! I'm wary to start nutes on her because she's an auto; I do have Fox Farms Grow Big and Big Bloom, but don't want to burn her.

Still just using plain water. She's been responding well to the LST, and is just doing her thing. Checking on her every morning when I wake up is like Christmas!

Started using some nutes this week--don't want to burn her, so I've used it sparingly. She had some spots on her leaves, but I think that was from the light? I removed them and she seems better.

She's got around 15 individual buds now! Feelin' sticky and getting more smelly by the day, and it looks like that some of the pistils are starting to turn amber.

I let her dry for three days (leaves felt crispy and the branches snap when bent) and now she's curing. First time growing, and I still have no idea what I'm doing but I definitely have learned a lot from this grow! I'll report back more when she's done curing.

That soil is brand new, you don’t need nutrients for the moment. I would say by the end of week 4 beginning of week 5 depending on the plant conditions.

@dorkus, Impressed on your DIY skills haha, nice! Seeing as your gona upgrade your lights, please trust me and checkout GrowMau5 on youtube for a in depth explaintion of COB LEDS and Quantums LEDS. They are the best grow lights to be using. All these LED companies sell shitty outdated tech and insanly overprice it... its all epistar shitty leds. Not worth your time or money. The COBS/Quantums is a 100x better investment and buy. You will see the difference in your plants 😇 but yeah checkout Growmau5 for a proper in depth explanation, defiantly worth the research and time.

@SadBoyDabs710, Hah, thanks! It was an interesting project to say the least. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FS6334U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I took the light apart and flipped the fan so that it would be the exhaust. Seems to get the job done a-okay for the time being. At some point I'm sure I'll upgrade everything--but space is the biggest concern, since my house isn't the biggest.

@MUDBUG, I'm using Fox Farm's Ocean Forest. I keep reading so many different things in regards to nutes with autos, but I do have Big Bloom and Grow Big; last thing I want to do is burn her.
