Welcome to my next auto grow! Got three girls in what I think might be roughly 15L plastic pots. They're pretty tall pots so I'm intending to LST pretty damn heavily. Will top / supercrop if I have to but I doubt it'll come to that. So in the tent we have 1 sour diesel from Fastbuds Original Auto lineup. Just finished up a mini 5L pot grow of mostly from the same lineup, check it out if you like! Alongside this girl is 2 Sweet Soma Autos. They were bought in a seed store in Spain. Pretty excited to see how these girls turn out. Come back in about 3 weeks time for hopefully explosive growth. I'll post weekly updates till then, but I expect the real fun to begin by then. Enjoy lockdown wherever you are, I'm vaping a lot right now and life is busy!! Oh and happy 420 to all!

The girls seem happy. In a couple weeks time we should hopefully start seeing some explosive growth. Might be topping these autos which is something I haven't done before.

Outside temperatures have dropped in the past few days which is great for the tent. Sometimes temperatures reach 30 degrees and go down to 23 degrees. Keeping two Tropicana Banana photoperiods little at the back of the tent, will then fully veg them through summer after this grow.

This week has seen a slight increase in nutrients as well as two separate LST sessions, which has been a great success so far. Drilled holes into the sides of pots to allow for much easier technique and plant manipulation. Sweet n Sour is on!!

Officially first week of flower done. The Sweet Soma has light green on the verge on turning yellow leaves. Upped nitrogen. Heavy leaf strip and adjusted stress training ties. The two photoperiods at the back are Tropinana Banana ladies from Barney's Farm, and they've just been topped.

Flower growth has really begun on the three plants to varying degrees. Sour Diesel I'd still the best performer. Temperatures are too hot, going above 30. Oh well. Sharing the tent with tropinana banana and some purple basil babies.

Coming along nicely with a very strong smell when the tent is opened - carbon filter is doing a great job. Very light defoliation on the last day of this week, just to expose some flowers a little.

A great week!! Temperatures have dropped thanks to some rain. Had a poor 'lemon drop' chilli that just did not like the Western European climate, even in the greenhouse. So I'm bringing him in to give him a better start. Cannabis is looking great, I'm going to be real patient with this grow. These girls have got a few weeks of fattening up to go but I can't wait.

This grow was a lot of fun. Happy with 5.5oz from 3 plants. Probably one of my better grows. I'm getting the hang of this!!
