This time I will grow 2 Jack Herer Auto (Zamnesia seeds) side by side, and this diary will report on the left one.
My target is a simple, reliable, low maintenance grow, allowing for a few days absence, and which can be integrated in normal family and work routine.
I only use solid organic nutrients mixed to the soil at the beginning, and none afterwards. Autoflowering strain, HomeBox Ambient Q60, Automatic watering with AutoPot 8,5L Easy2Grow Modules, Hazelbeam 2 270W LED lights with 18/6 timer, Small rotating fan.The only thing I need to do is Topping after about 20 days and a little LST afterwards depending on the strain.
Grow medium:
1000g (4L) BioBizz Light Mix
+ 280g (4L) Perlite
+ 120g Flo Organics (www.florganics.de)
Fertilizer mixed in lower half of soil.
Seeding day is 22. December 2020.
25.12.2020, Day 3, first sprout, 1cm
Day 16, 3cm. The top leaves are looking funny. Let's see how she evolves.
Day 18, 4cm. New leaves are looking better.
Day 20, 5cm. Should be ready for topping soon.
People don't usually top Autos. Might want to avoid that on your next grow and see if there's a bigger yield. I feel like I could have had higher yields on my last mainline photoperiod grow if I'd spent more time in veg. Same idea. Looks like some nice buds though!
@user78235, good idea. I usually spend a loooot of time with my plants. My next grow I want to set up a DWC hydro system and a very simple training program and try to make it easy to maintain. I'm thinking about doing an auto as well to make it even simpler but I have some Zkittlez Glue and White Widow fem seeds that I want to try first lol
@3lementa1, thank you, yes I know, but until now it worked pretty well with topping. Sure, after I topped, I will never know what it would have looked like without topping. But I think the problems are more related to my rather wet soil (due to the auto watering), or to fertilizer problems (too few? too much?). But I want to keep my simple setup, so that I just keep on trying to find the strains that can cope with it. Until now, it's only Zamnesia's diesel automatic.
Don't be surprised about all the perlite on top of the earth. It's just because the light perlite of the top 1-2cm swims up when watering the pot at the start. Below, it looks much like regular BioBizz Light, with just a little more white perlite spots.
