Auto Critical Orange Punch

First grow! All okay so far, seeds sprouted and on the way! Growing in biobizz all mix, will be using biobizz nutes, will most likely skip using bio grow and use just the bloom and top max depending on veg time. In a 2x2 with a MH 100w. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Learning as I go! (Filling a few weeks in at once, im actually on week 4 so apologies for picture lighting, i learned later on and turned them off for later pictures, week 3! 🤦‍♂️)

No issues as of yet! 🤞

Alot seemed to happen this week growth wise! We've had pretty good weather in the uk so i have been taking outside while i can, i guess it loved it. As it looks like the weather is decent for a while ill do this is as much as i can. Had some yellowing on the tips of new leaves very slight and hasnt spread so im thinking not to much to worry about and probably down to hot soil. I didnt flush as i was given 50/50 advice on that, but everything seems okay so happy i didnt.

Week 4 had a bit more growth and on day 27 she started to pre/flower. Still taking outside as much as i can as long as the weathers good. Will start adding nutes in next watering which is tomorrow. Ill start with just a 1ml each of bloom and top max to see how they react! (Not that i know what im looking for but i guess thing going wrong should be obvious) I decided against LST even though i thought i was going to do it before i started. Once it came tims I didnt properly understand why or how it could help so got nervous and just let her grow. Now i get it, makes sense and will for sure next time, too late now?

Week 5, looks like there stretching a bit. Budd sites developing. Edit. Added a 3500k spectrum cob led light that kicks out about 100w to the tent, hopefully this will help a bit with flowering until i upgrade to a stronger single unit.

Week 5 Stopped adding bio grow and upped the bloom nutes as i started to see the odd purpleish stem on one plant, also ordered a bottle of cal mag and will started adding a 1ml per L in the next feed. Otherwise i think everythings on track ✌️ Always appreciate advice/criticism etc. 👍

Week 7. Still here, still going. Looks like the older of the two has started to gain a tiny bit of weight!

Struggling keeping temps down this week. Uk has been really hot so tent has shot up, switched to 18/6 for a while so i can switch the lights off during the day. Still very hot at night so having to keep the tent open while the lights are on...not ideal. Got more fans going, just to stop hot spots and keep air flowing. Love the hot weather for me but i cant help thinking my plants are gonna suffer this week. Weather should be gettin cooler by the weekend so should be temporary. Exhaust fan unfortunately does nothing as my room itself is baking so its just cycling hot air, i mean it helps but not greatly. Will probably have to get a proper ac unit for my room for the summer...🤔 🤞fingers crossed they get through this without any major problems🤞

Temps back under control 👌 got away without any issues from last week i think. Older plant is coming along nicely, the younger seems to be taking longer to mature, im guessing this is because i need more light? Or just because it has more branches and bud sites? Either way the older is going to get chopped first so hopefully the younger will put on weight with a couple weeks alone in the tent! 2 more weeks till first chop hopefully✌️

Same routine just feeding. Buzzin for next week and chopping my first plant! Time to start thinking about the drying/cure process. I was planning on using the tent to hang dry both plants thats not gonna work, im sure this is a very common thing where newbies think their plants will finish at the same time 🤦‍♂️ Gonna have to think of another way now....maybe empty a wardrobe and see if i can make shift something... dont wanna rush this bit so hopefully i can find somewhere with a good enviroment ✌️

Patience is key!🧘‍♂️ holding off on first chop till saturday/sunday at the earliest. Fade has started to set in on plant #1. I cant stop looking at it. Plant #2 still a couple weeks off atleast. Emptied my wall closet, left a hygrometer in there over night and next day and it seemed to stay pretty steady at 50 rh and 22/24c. So i think ive found my drying space. Sick. ✌️ Update#. Chopped first plant and is drying as i type! Wardrobe stays between 20 and 22 c and 45/55 rh. Fan for half hour twice a day. Wardrobe is darkkk and slightly open for airflow. Fingers crossed soon ill be able to try my first grow! Will update harvest section once dried and weighed and tried before cure ✌️

Thanks to anyone who helped me through this first grow! You are appreciated! Long may this continue! 👌
