My first time growing.
Hopefully, I'll become auto-sufficient in 90 days.
Here, I'm registering the log for Auto Cheese, bought from MNSL.
Those guys were really fast to send seeds from the UK to New Zealand (5 DAYS).
I'm still waiting for some gear: hygrometer, smart pots (those made from fabric - 11L), PH tester and nutrients.
Not sure if I will use nutrients. Probably just some root booster, once that autoflowers have a short lifecycle.

This is the week 2!
Well, the plant looks really healthy, and she kept growing up, straight to the light!
Good to see that even after the strange beginning, with the stem crooked, she recover her path!
This week, I'm also planning to start feeding them with some NPK.
Just need to read a little bit more about it and buy nutrients.
Probably I'll try Canna stuff. Anyone know if it's good?

Starting week 3 today, with a challenge ahead with this little bad girl!
It seems to be a lack of Nitrogen, and I'm pretty afraid of burning the plant.
I'm feeding the plant once each two days, with Seaweed Tonic, 150ml with the suggested dilution from the bottle.
Now I have also a bottle of Canna Terra Vega, with NPKS 3-0-3-0.
Is it a good idea to start feeding the plant, with also this nutrient?
The soil is a mixture of 80% organic soil + 20% of coco coir.
Could be a lack of nutrients from the soil? What is the best agenda to follow with nutrients?
(:
Cheers!!
UPDATE (17/02 - Day 17): based on the suggestions made by many members, I've tried to gather the best of all and decided to make some moves in an effort to save this plant, and to avoid the same situation to the other 2 plants:
#1 - Lifted the LED panel to double of the height, so the distance to the plants went from 50cm to 100cm
#2 - This change with the distance from LED panel helped to low down the highest temperature achieved during the day from 27.5°C to 24°C
#3 - Since day 15, the plants haven't been watered, in a move to try to dry a little bit the soil, once I was watering every day with something close to 250ml a day. Now I'll return with water in a few days, while I wait for some signals from the plants that they are needing water
#4 - Pushed forward the idea to start feeding them this week, and maybe I give just a little bit of seaweed solution to root development when I come back with watering.
Hope it works fine!

Today we started the 4th week of growth for this little girl.
Last week we had hard times here because the plant started the week showing some signals of issues, and it was really difficult to evaluate the root of the cause.
After many research and a LOT OF HELP from some masters of GD, I've decided to lift the LED Panel and low the watering.
Seems to be working, once that the new leaves are showing a healthy dark green.
This week, I'm also working on nutrients for root development and growth.
Wish me luck, buddies!

Starting the first week of flowering here, and it's really exciting to have this experience for the first time.
I'll keep the nutes scheme with Canna Vega for this week, and will add some Monsta Bud.
Should I keep the seaweed for root development?
Wish me luck, mates!

OK, so we started the 6th week and the plant is showing some growing signals.
It's impressive how a plant that looks really bad, can actually keep growing and developing itself.
This week I've started to see some development on bud zone/spot, and I believe that even making some mistakes ate the beginning, I'll be able to taste some buds from this little girl.

Another week, another challenge!
This week I'll completely fade out from the vega nutes and focus on bud boosters.
She had a great development since last week, and it seems that it will give me some buds to enjoy.
