This week went ok for the most part,seeds seemed to germinate and sprout nicely, to germinate I just popped directly into the soil about a quarter inch, and gave them about a shot glass full of tap water that I put to ph 6.3 (this will fluctuate during the grow. Added a dome to each pot for extra humidity also and that’s that, time to wait for the beans to pop! Ps: this is my first ever indoor grow so any help along the way would be great ty😬

So this is actually the fourth day of week two, I didn’t get to log week one on time so will go from here. As you can see all the seeds sprouted just fine and they’ve actually put on some decent growth and look like solid strain. At the start of the week I upped their dosage of food as per Dutch nutrient feeding schedule. Throughout this week I think I will do some LST, from what I’ve researched this strain responds well to that. Although this is also the first time I’ve ever grown a auto strain I see no need to top them due to it slowing growth some and I’d like to get the most growth possible from the already short veg time. Will add photos each day now if possible 😄

Well we are now into week 3 a few days and everything seems to be going just fantastic, this strain seems to be very strong and stable by the look of the plants so I’m interested to see the end result. I have done a bit of LST to some of them but due to the plants stalks being so big it’s hard to bend them over, nutrients we’re giving again as per Dutch nutrient feeding schedule and they’ve really liked it so far by the look of them. I think this will also be the last week they get nutrients that are for the veg. One of the plants I’ve done no LST to cause I just want to see how one does without it just for the fun of it. From what I’ve read/seen these autos will start to go into flower at the end of next week so BLOOM nutrients will start soon if this is true. First time growing autos so will have to wait and see, and if anyone can confirm this that would be appreciated also. When I opened the tent I also noticed that they are starting to have a nice faint smell to them. Stay tuned and happy growing peeps! 😎🍺

Been hard to upload this week due to work but anyways here we are a few days into week 4 and the past week been tough due to the extreme heat temps here. If my exhaust fan would arrive it would help but not much can do till then. In the meantime the plants have been doing ok and not been affected to much I think.. this week I also added a new platinum p600 light I purchased so I’m pretty excited to see the results of what it can do, still watered with nutes according to schedule again, and also did some more LST and pulled off a few big fan leaves to let some light to the bottom better..I finally figured out how to add daily updates/photos so will be sure to do that. Happy growing 😎

@LOVE2GROW34, 8000w?!?! Of you want to drop a link, I can check it out. I started with some subpar lighting and achieved subpar results. Lighting, temps, and humidity are your going to be your most limiting factors growing indoors. If you know how to grow outdoor, you'll do great as long as you can keep those aforementioned factors in the optimal ranges. It took me some time to out everything together, but has paid off thus far. Good luck and happy growing my friend!

@FoTwenny, well I have 4x 2700k sun blaster led bulbs, plus 2 lights I got off amazon 8000w apparently. I’m not sure if those are sufficient or not? but will replace if not
