This is my first time growing cannabis, I am really excited about it and I choose the auto tutankhamun, as doing my researches I've found out that this strain is really strong and generous with the harvest.

Honestly speaking i feel really happy seeing everyday growth progress, even if one of the 4 King Tut is smaller than the others, but I think with time they will all be equally big and healthy.
The second week just started and I'm very positive about my little ladies.
At the moment I'm doing my researches e studying a little bit in order to improve my skills and learn everyday more about growing.
Day 8: Did nothing to the plant, i've only changed the schedule from 24h light to 18/6
I Made the mistake of putting the seedlings under 24H light to only find out yesterday, that 24h light decrease the trichomes and resin production during the flowering stage because the plant can't rest at night and consume all the nutrients from the soil in order to stay alive.
Day 9: I've watered my babies cause I noticed the pot where lighter and putting my finger in the soil it was almost completely dry...
pH: 6.5
0.2L per Plant
Maybe I've done a Huge mistake because from day 3 or 4 until yesterday I let the seedlings under 24h light...then I was reading yesterday about this schedule and I've decided to switch to 18/6.
Let's see how things goes from now on.
My suggestion: Don't grow under 24h light guys because the plant need to rest at night...
It is amazing how we learn about Nature just growing this amazing part of it (weed)
Today is day 15, so the third week starts from today.
I did a little LST tony babies...they are growing up strong and as I can see the are responding pretty good to the distance of the lamp (25 cm at 50%power)
I watered them with 250ml pH6.3 water at 20ºC
I'm gonna wait one more week or maybe two before starting with the Nutes, because I 've used
60% Biobizz All Mix on the bottom of the bucket and 40% of light mix on the top, so they should be okay with the Nutes for at least the next 10 days I think.
Let's see what happens.
Day #17 I've watered my baby girls with ½L of water each, pH 6.3 at 20ºC and 260ppm (no nuts yet)
I've tied down some leaves better and I am trying to keep the apical at 90 degrees.
I almost did't touch them Last week.
day 21 i fed them with 1 litre of plain water at 20°C pH 6.5
The run off was about 660- 730 ppm
day 22 i've improved the LST making it tighter and giving a shape to the plants.
Day 24 I've done a little defoliation and fixed better the LST.
Day 25 i've watered them with 1 litre of plain water at 22°C pH 6.3
The run off was about 1500 ppm.
I've fixed the LST because the ladies grew up fast during the night, the fan leaves was looking upwards again
Day 26 i think a couple of them are entering in pre flowering stage.
Day 27 I've done some defoliation again and for the moment that's all.
Day 28 Today is the first day i fed them with 1ml/L of Top Max and Bio Bloom.
I've fed each one of them with 1L water + nutrients.
The ladies recovered well from the Defoliation i did them yesterday...all of them are looking upwards.
I Wish you all a happy grow and a happy life too.
Thank you for passing by to check my diary.
Enjoy your day...puff after puff!
May God Bless You All.....
Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil.
Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up?
Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.
Well for one is it your plant or theirs? I get same headaches from people about leaves touching the ground. I do try to leave a little space. Best thing to do is try not to get nutes on leaves. It will burn them. Beside that do as you want. The extra bending will provide bigger yields in end if you stick with it. I been growing with this bend style for some time. Also remember a lot of those damaged leave that can possibly happen now will not effect final results. They normally would get shielded from light and not be of any use later. I actually cut them off once it starts stretching good and new leaves take over the top of canopy. Happy growing and keep innovating on the grow. Don't listen to some folks on here. Growing is a science and a art. The bend is your art work. Plus yields this way can be huge. Grow on my friend.
You are just hitting the beginning of flowering. But will start to increase a lot more in a week or 2. Don't overdue it. Autos don't like super heavy feed. Less can be better on autos. Happy growing and enjoy the harvest coming. 👊🌲🌲🌲
Day 29 I've just checked the LST i did last night.
The girls are looking good but Pina is a bit behind the sisters.
I'm having a little trouble keeping the humidity level at 60%
I've set the Filter to turn on 15 minutes every hour so the RH doesn't drop drastically.
I'm thinking about getting a timer with wifi so i can set it a couple of minutes every ten.
Day 30 I've just watched them :D
Day 32 I've watered each one of them with:
-1.5L pH 6.3 water at 21°C with
-1ml/L Biobizz Top-Max
-1,5ml/L Biobizz Bio-Bloom
Run off was 1700- 1800 ppm pH 6.3
Day 34 I've just watched them and did some adjustments on the LST.
Day 35 They are growing so fast...i can notice a grow everyday...it is so exciting...I'm conscious about the fact I've made some mistakes but it's my fist grow and every mistake is a lesson...
So far I'm happy with my first grow.
i still have a lot more to learn and it is a never ending journey i guess.
Thank you for passing by to check my diary, I do really appreciate it.
Happy New Year to you all and you beloved ones.
I need a timer to turn on the aspiration for 1 minute and turn it off for 4 minutes.
I'm having some humidity issues so i need a timer to control it better?
Something i can control with the smartphone or with a screen where i can set the timer.
Thank you in advance.
PEACE
I use an ink bird humidity controller, that’s real easy to use. Pretty sure they make a wifi one as well. Not sure about the timing part, unless u run it to a timer
Day 36 I've just tightened up the LST and watched them grow. Tomorrow I'm gonna feed them cause the soil is dry enough. At least 10cm beneath the surface.
Day 37 I've watered each one of them with:
-2L pH 6.2 water at 20.5°C with
-1ml/L Biobizz Top-Max
-2ml/L Biobizz Bio-Bloom
Run off was 700-850 ppm pH 6.3
Day 38 I've just watched them.
Day 41 I've adjusted some LST and a little defoliation again because they are stretching now
Even if they look a little bit small I'm happy so far with my first grow.
I still have a lot more to learn and it is a never ending journey i guess.
Thank you for passing by to check my diary, I do really appreciate it.
Happy New Year to you all and you beloved ones.
Day 43 I've watered each one of them with:
-2L pH 6.06 water at 21°C with
-1ml/L Biobizz Top-Max
-3ml/L Biobizz Bio-Bloom
-4ml/L Biobizz Bio-Heaven
Run off was 2000 - 2100 ppm pH 6.2
I've also done a little defoliation and adjusted the LST as they grow so fast.
Day 47 I've washed them with 4L plain water ph 6.5 and the run off was 900ppm
I did it slowly and took a bit of time but now i'm happy with the run off...
I'm gonna water them again with plain water once it's soil dry.
Day 49 i've only checked them..
Even if they look a little bit small I'm happy so far with my first grow.
I still have a lot more to learn and it is a never ending journey i guess.
Thank you for passing by to check my diary, I do really appreciate it.
Happy New Year to you all and you beloved ones.
Day 50..they really look small and already fattening the buds.
i don't know what to expect because i've seen some diaries and my plants look too small.
i hope to see some more stretch over the next week or so.
I think I made some mistakes like: Windburn, Too much stress, High TDS.
My questions are:
Do you guys thing their buds will fatten enough?
Will the plants get any taller? (I still see little stretching)
I think Mold is gonna appear because the buds are close one to the other.
You got a good month to go. Have patience. They will get bigger. As long as air is moving and humidity in check no mold should form. Do not cut early. Go off mass majority of trichromes color when time comes. Looking for a lot of milky white. Then flush and fade . Good luck and happy growing. Your expecting nitrogen toxicity as well. Dark green shiny leaves and clawing leaves is a sign. Shade of green in leaves tells what nitrogen level is in plant. 🌲🌲🌲👊
Day 60....I've set them free from LST and I'm gonna give them plain water tomorrow..can't wait this last 2 weeks to go.
As it is my first grow, i am already happy by getting closer and closer to harvest...can't really wait for the cure and the final results.
Giving them just water. Let's see how it goes.
Can't wait for the next week's to come.
I have almost no time to cure them and take care of them but I'm doing my best.
Last week before leaving the plants in the dark for 2 days.
I can't really wait to get the results and waiting for. Even though I've made some mistakes due to not enough time to take care of them, I am really happy my first grow.
I'm still waiting for the buds to dry so i cant put the numbers :D great experience.
Next time i will pay way more attention to the last part of the grow....unfortunately i've been so busy and i coudn't take care of them as i wish.
I am absolutely Happy with the results...I'm conscious I've made some mistake and neglect them for a while...but I'm still happy with my first grow...I've got a lot to learn and it's just the beginning.
Happy grow to everyone. Thanks to everyone who helped me with many suggestions...and thank you to those who tried to help me but I still did it my way (sometimes doing it good and sometimes doing it wrong).
Se you soon Growmies
