Chamalla Not knowing yet if I'll be travelling end of the year I'm a bit hamstrung in terms of what grows I can start. I reckon a quick auto run should finish in time in case the Rona ebbs off a bit for Xmas ... These are some autos I had left over, they take only 8-9 weeks and are a fairly decent smoke. The tent is - like all my current grow spaces - a DP60 propagation tent with a USB fan and a really nice quantum board - I replaced all my lights the other week; this one is an Invisible Sun ISH100-BR which I'm running dimmed down to 50%, still giving me more mols than the 4x 26w propagation bars that were in there before and at much lower temperatures and wattage. Cotyledons took 3 days from soaking of the beans to surfacing from the medium, 3 out of 3 germinated. Starter medium is coco coir as always moistened with kelp and worm poop extract.

Chamalla Briefly removed the humidity domes today to take pictures. Think they're looking like they're doing alright for one week in, hopefully the transplant into their fabric pots didn't shock them too much.

Chamalla Sadly I lost one of them to transplant shock (I think), it stopped growing after potting up and turned yellow and dry within 24-48 hours. The remaining two seem to be doing fine.

Chamalla They were topped this weekend. Recuperated well from it from what I can tell, shoots are growing again Also removed the 1st node growth, leaving 4 shoots per plant. Humidity went up by a tiny amount due to the increased volume of soil. Also top-dressed with a few teaspoons of RQS Easy Boost nutrient pellets - meant for my next pheno run, but there's plenty in the bag.

Chamalla I topped the stronger one of them again over the weekend, but left WWxBB #2 alone except for removing the lowest growth tips due to the way she's looking like she developed a bit of a nutritional problem, possibly a magnesium lockout. So that's going to be 8 shoots for WWxBB #1 and 4 for #2. Going to watch pH a bit more closely going forward, but I spotted first pistils already and the new growth looks fine so might just stay mostly hands-off from now till harvest except for maybe a light treatment with Epsom salts next watering.

Chamalla WWxBB #2 seems to have recovered nicely from her Magnesium deficiency and is now well into budding on her 4 shoots. Growing with LED? Excellent, but watch those Magnesium levels, kids. WWxBB #1 is a couple of days behind #2 in budding, likely because she was topped twice. But I like her structure a lot, the little extra wait should be more than worth it.

Chamalla This week it was WWxBB #1's turn to demand more Magnesium. A little bit of Epsom salts and that's that, I hope. Budding is going well, with #2 still visibly a few days ahead. I expect them to stretch a tiny bit more and then fill out.

Chamalla Only a few burnt leaf tips left over from their little nutritional ordeal last week. Stretching is done now, I reckon. Now for the fattening. No Xmas travel this year, so they're going to get a week more than initially planned.

Chamalla So today is when I would have needed to chop them down if I had been travelling. #2 actually looks choppable, but #1 clearly needs longer. I'm thinking of giving #2 at least another week and #1 two more, something like that.

Chamalla Last week for #2, she's been chopped and hung up to dry. #1 is getting that additional week she wants. Keen to see how the yields compare to single-cola clones.

Hi, what are you using for ventilation inside this tent? Thanks :)

@hopetheskye, starting to smell them through the cheap charcoal filter mats, might want to put a real filter in there if flowering plants as opposed to just vegging them. I thought autos might not be so smelly but these are a bit ...

@hopetheskye nice one. They're good little tents, I like that they can hide away neatly in inconspicuous looking cabinets. I normally use another two of them for flowering (similar setup), but these autos here will likely stay in the veg tent.
