ENVIRONMENT THIS WEEK

Relative Humidity - 48%-77%
Comment - These ranges are well within healthy limits for the plants. The VPD runs about 1.0 to 1.3, good for late vegetative and early flowering stages.
OVERVIEW OF WEEK
• I'm trying to let the plants get well into pre-flower. Then add the tomato stem support clips to push the branch close to horizontal. When the branch reaches the edge of the pot, add a stake.
• I need to give the plants a little more time before training. At the very least I should not trim it two days in a row. I need to give the plant a day to recover.
• These are the best organic autos I've run. I can only compare myself to myself. My stretch goal is to get 1 gram per watt from the garden. How close will I get?
DAILY COMMENTS
• Day 31 - Super Uzi #1 looks like it is a photo! Super Uzi #2 is a full three days younger and it is well into early flowering. I'll let it hang around for a while, but I don't have the space to switch it to flowering. Too bad, it's a good strong plant.
=> That means that it took four (!) Super Uzi seeds to get one plant into flowering. (See week #1 for details.) That's not a good record. I'll probably be sticking with Mephisto for my seeds.
• Day 34 - SHIT! I broke off the main stem of Super Uzi #2! I was attempting to gently pull over the top of the plant and it just snapped off. I removed about four inches from the plant. While this was not what I intended to do, it does give me four strong tops. I'll think of it as an experiment in late-topping autos.
COMING UP
• Nothing special planned for next week. I'll just be following the nutrient schedule.
@blendmedmedman, I am very pleased. I put them in jars today with some Bovenda packs. It dried too quickly, but I didn't have much control over the environment. The 180 grams dried to 57.5 grams. Very pleased. Now, it probably needs to dry a bit more an there are at least 10 g of stem included (I had to hang them somehow.) But the buds are very solid so I am expecting some good smoke.
I've already started the soil for season four. The diary will be full of details. All organic and closely following the advice of BuildASoil.
@TheOtherSide, thanks for the comment. I was way behind. I posted four weeks in the last two days. But now I am caught up.
I'm really trying to document what I do and to keep track of any deviations from my plan. That way I know what I need to do differently next time. I do like how quickly you can run a crop of autos. If all goes well, I'll get four crops this year.
Good luck with your garden as well.
@Canna96, Thanks. Wait to see what happens in the next few weeks. I fell behind in updating my diary. I just started week 8 and had to fix an organic nutrient problem. It is all documented. I just need to upload it. Thanks for looking at my diary.
@GrowGuy97, thanks. I may finally be getting this organic/auto thing down. So much different from salts and photos. If you have any questions, just PM me. ✌️
