Growdiaries needs a hall of fame for stuff like this.. This is awesome in a sense because it's a good learning experience for others and more so for you I'm sure... Don't do this.

Lol, you left almost nothing, the plant will spend a week or so refoliating itself, so flowering will be delayed

General observations regarding growing with coco & perlite are most welcome. Specific comments and suggestions on DIY pots & saucers and drainage set-ups & solutions would be awesome. As I have never used coco and perlite with GenHydro nutrients before, any advice is welcome!Week 3

I'm wondering what light to get - I have a small tent (same as https://growdiaries.com/diaries/21875-first-time-blueberry-autoflower)
At the moment they're in the house
When they start to smell the tent is going to have to go in the garage where it gets pretty cold

Defoliating some moreI know that there is a difference of opinion when it comes to defoliating. I have removed about a dozen in the last week. I think it's still pretty bushy, but I don't want to overdo it. Finger away or better yet thinning out a little more ?Week 9

Flushing techniques with organic soil. I hate chemical tasting weed. I have organic soil in 7 gallon pots. It takes 4.2 litres to have very little run off at the bottom. 3.5 weeks left of flower. Whatâs your best method to flush plants in the final weeks ?Week 10

I am having a hard time getting a sense of the autoflower "timeline". Many breeders have these "seed to harvest" claims, such as 55 - 85 days seed to harvest etc. My grow is entering week 9, and the flowering stage is just getting started. Are these claims even worth noting?Week 8

Hi everyone, I need some advice here. I am currently using a 200W dual spectrum CFL for Vegatation however I know that I will require a more powerful setup for flowering, if I want to get a good yield from all 3 plants.
Can anyone tell me what would be better, HPS or LED?Week 1
