United Strains of Autoflowers - HESI fed

Hello guys! I know, I know... I'm not done yet with my grow from @weedseedsexpress and I'm already starting a new diary ahaha Oh well, now that I found Grow Diaries, I have more fun than ever, writing and recording all my grows and its development. I love growing weed, and especially smoking it. It's just the best feeling in the world, end of story. And thanks to a sum of factors, like the @Hesi_Official contest, I decided to start the diary just with the purpose of making it as steady as possible, wanna really plan things properly and see where this small improvement will take me. After looking back at my past grows, can tell now that I learned some valuable lessons, mostly on handling autos in early stages, how temperature and RH can affect a crop from early stage, among other lessons that I believe will make me a better grower. This time I'll go for a single diary, but multi strain. And I'm putting all my money on the Zkittlez and Gelat.OG, as the other 2 I already grown before. Very happy with the Northern Lights, can't really say the same about the Bubblegum, but still have 5 seeds left and also I blame myself for stressing her in a early stage. Looking forward to get a better crop from this one this time. Germination will be done by soaking them in water for a few hours, and transfer to Root Riot cubes and get them going in a small self watering greenhouse I recently bought and feel like giving it a try. For this grow, I plan to do only LST and defoliation at key weeks/stages. Maybe topping autos isn't as good idea as with the photoperiod ones so, I'll try to manipulate it to a minimum to avoid stress and maximize their potential. The feeding: Like always will be done with tap water, usually coming out with an incredible 7.0PH and 18-25PPM, that will be balanced with PH adjusters after adding or not nutrients - depending on the type of feeding. The nutrients used are all the ones provided by HESI (@Hesi_official) for the contest, and in case of need, BioBizz PH+, PH- to adjust the PH Nutrient feeding schedule will start in week 2, following the recommended dosage. Always applied with pressure sprayer, and yes, I test the PH of the water AFTER I spray it, as result vary quite considerably. Regarding the setup, I made some upgrades and changes: - Medium: Soil - BioBizz Light Mix - Fertilizers: HESI - Pots: 15L Textile pots from Gronest - Humidifier: HACE MJS-401 - Lights, ballast: Lumatek 400w (Mh and HPS). Digital dimmable ballast 400w - Tent: Secret Jardin, Dark Room 90cm (3.5ft) - Carbon filter: Primaklima - Reflector: Adjust-a-wings avenger medium - Exhaust: Primaklima - Circulation fans: Secret Jardin Monkey 16w - Thermo-hygrometer: Agrolabs If you made all the way down, thank you, and I'm sorry for the long text, but as I wrote before, I'm getting more and more excited about this. Happy grows guys! EDIT - Finally got in the Adjust-a-Wings Avenger Medium. It's quite a difference between what I had before and this one. Much more light in the grow, really much more! Can't wait to start this project!
