2018 First Grow: Auto Critical +2.0

So I seperated the diaries. Gonna add this small info on all. I had 300W Viparspectras and now I got 600W. Gonna start with CFLs then 600W and late flowering 600+300W. Previous grow is yet to be harvested. She is taking it really slow. Until I harvest her the conditions in the tent are set for her. New grows are in the corner of the tent but still in coverage area of LEDs with 70cm distance. Covered with a dome and sprayed regulary to keep rH high. I wasnt thinking about planting this strain, as I didnt order it but got it as a gift. But this one was the only auto in the gifts and I searched a little, seemed like a good strain. Still I planted her in a 3.5L pot, just want a little cola to taste :) Soil is prewatered with 50ppm spring water.

She performs a solid grow, no LST needed so far. Her soil dried faster than others cuz small pot size I reckon. Top of soil started to get mossy because I spray her and other frequently. No big deal. Im thinking of repotting her to a larger one but still not sure, I will decide next week after the older sister get harvested. Gave her a around 100ml tap water(300~ppm) And today while I write this diary on day 15, I will feed her with a small amount around 350ppm. So less than a ml/l biogrow. Well, these are next weeks details I think I should stop giving spoilers :P

As I mentioned previous week, I feed her at the start of this week. Her soil gets dry fast unlike the other 2 grows. Maybe because small pot size or maybe she is thirtsy :P gonna feed between every 2 waterings. Watered twice already this week so tomorrow I will feed her again. Applied LsT end of this week, seperated side branches and bended her. Some pistils already showed up. So far so good *fingerscrossed*

27.01 end of the week. Applied hard lst today. You can see how she stayed small because of the pot size. But it seems I will get more than I wanted. She has well establishes side branches which I separated over the area of coverage. Im hoping for those empty areas to fill since they get more light now. temperature has rised couple degrees due to heaters in the house. Its getting cold :)

With added 300W the day temps goes up to 30.5C. My exhaust fan is too small to take all the heat out. Will replace it next month but for now, I keep the window slightly open and let the tent take cold air in. Which stables the temps to 28C inside the tent. Another small issue, which happened to all grows, I watered them couples times from the wrong bottle last week with pH over 7.5. Thats why ( I guess ) they couldnt get all the nutes and some leaves turned yellowish. I looked it up seems like lack of some minerals. Not sure, might be something else but this seems logical explanation since I gave them wrong PH over a week. Anyway, as a solution I flushed (not completely but slightly) to get the right pH level again. Flushed in regular watering day and gonna feed on regular feeding day again. So the schedule didnt change. Also I read somewhere in the forums that some people flush in transmission phase too. So I thought it wouldnt be much problem, also as said, I didnt fully flushed. Just lets say, %30 of the water came out from drainage holes.

Seems like she is gonna finish sooner than others. She is recovering slowely. Will be much better next week with Cal Mag added to the solution. Keeping the tent open for lower temps. Otherwise it goes upto 32. Soon I will get a stronger exhaust fan to take all the heat out. I didnt think through their overall shape, they have nice bud formation but I cant fit them right under the coverage area. all plants have their main cola right under the lights but they have some colas slighlty out. But still I guess they all get enough light! See you all next week!

Shes recovering and forming nice flowers. Changed the weight as she got stronger. Removed fallen leaves. Has a solid form now and focusing on those flowers as I see. She is really quick. Could ve finish in couple weeks if she hasnt been through such stress( that sentence sounds gramatically wrong but w/e :D)
