Back to autoflowers

Alright. Back to autoflowers! 2x Dark Devil (first time growing it) and 2x Royal Creamatic (I just love that strain!) Preparations I did yesterday: - Took seeds out of fridge to prepare them for the new climate - Prepared a bucket of water so it can sit for 12h - Presoaked the medium with Root Complex so it already starts to 'work' and settle the ph - Installed my DIY 4x 3,5W LED light fixture ___________________ DAY 1 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 01.01.2018!!! Dropped the seeds and covered them slightly with soil. Watered them a bit with Root Complex. Covered the pots with cellophane so the humudity stays high at around 99% RH. ___________________ DAY 6 Dark Devil (DD) 1 & 2 did pop out their heads yesterday morning. Royal Creamatic (RC) popped out yesterday night Royal Creamatic 2 is still doing its underground stuff. I hope it won't take too long... Feeding Root Complex only. Water has been ph'd to 6,5. I also switched on the blue leds from the Viparspectra to widen the light spectrum. The small bulbs are 3,5W led lights, 4000K, 430 lm Room temp: 24C, Humidity: around 75% when the tent is closed.

WEEK 2 DAY 1 All good. Royal Creamtic Nr. 2 did pop its head out yesterday morning too so all 4 have germinated just fine. Watering only a little each time to keep the soil moist but not wet. WEEK 2 DAY 3 The growth is starting to kick in. Leaves are about 2 cm by now. WEEK 2 DAY 5 Yes, growth has kicked in. Leaves are about 3,5 cm by now. You can literally see how they get bigger :O WEEK 2 DAY 7 I'll be raising the light fixture a bit. The light spot is getting to narrow to lighten the entire plants. Starting to water the whole pot instead of just around the roots. Feeding 1 liter per plant until it dries out.

WEEK 3 DAY 3 They're starting to look like plants xD... Removed my DIY fixture and lowered the LED to 80 cm from canopy. Also switched the light shedule to 20/4. I'll be sticking to this through the entire grow. ----- DAY 6 All good I guess ----- DAY 7 I lowered the LEDS to 70cm from canopy. I dropped RH to 60%. I only regret putting the seeds THAT deep into the soil. The lower leaves are touching the ground so I'll be cutting them away next week. I'll just wait a bit until the plant is a bit stronger. Autos usually do not want me to cut anything ;)

WEEK 4 DAY 4 All good imho... Even though I usually never touch autos except for LST, I had to cut the very lower leaves and branches so I could fill up the entire pots. I planted the seeds a bit too deep down this time but I don't think it's gonna stress them a lot. I just cut 1 leave/branch per day so no worries. They're still praying happily to the light ;) No nutrients fed so far. Gonna wait until the first minimal deficiencies show up. Less is more with autos... The R Creamatic is growing quite fat leaves, looking very large and 'indicaish'.... likes :)

WEEK 5 DAY 1 Fed them 1,5l today. They start drinking more it seems. I'm still feeding Root Complex only but this time I added a single drop of Hesi Supervit. They are taking off now... looking good imho :) ----- WEEK 5 DAY 5 The first tiny pistils are showing up on all 4 plants (sry, no time for pics) ----- WEEK 5 DAY 7 All 4 are showing some more pistils so here we go... Still not feeding anything but Root Juice and it was a good decision. Both Dark Devils have some slight burns on the lower leaves so I'll flush the plants next time. Weird...

WEEK 6 DAY 1 Flowering! Pistils are clearly out now. Now I'll let the pots dry out to get some oxygene to the roots, then I'll flush with a very, very low nutrient solution. Looking good imho :) Dropped the humidity to +- 40% RH
