This week went pretty good! I did some light defoliation, and I also had to tie up some colas for support, as they started drooping towards the floor as the buds begin to bulk up finally. I believe I have another week or two at most for them to bulk, then it will be time to flush. The pictures really do not show how this pig is taking over my little 4x4. I never thought one auto could damn near fill a 4X4, but little miss piggy is trying. The more I feed this hog, the hungrier she gets. I also started feeding her some PK booster last week. I believe my plan to rotate these autos will work out well, as there is absolutely no way I could fit 4 autos in my tent at once nearing the end of flower. I am very excited to see what this lady can do in the next few weeks! Thank you for stopping by, and all the encouragement and support! I appreciate it! Be safe, stay well, and Blaze On!!!

The girls are moving along nicely just watering with water ph to 6.4 this week as I top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4.Spider farmer Se7000 dialed in at 30 percent and to the ceiling.Noticed some minor deficiencies Day 12 and check soil slurry 50/50 soil/water and the ppm was at 780 lil high at this early stage and the culprit.Going to work on lowering that a bit this week.I did add a top layer of fox farm ocean forest as well which runs a little hot with nutrients rather than the pro mix.I have to remember with these beautiful auto flowers less is better :)

Week 7: The SpiderFarmer SF4000 has arrived. Itโ€™s hanging at about 28โ€ at 80% and the plants seem to be very happy. The spectrum is significantly โ€œwhiterโ€ rather than the purple of my other lights. Heat is definitely manageable. Buds have chunked up over that last week. I did probably the last feeding as Iโ€™m coming up to day 56. Clones are rooted and planted for next round and trying to decide what to run for next round. Some strains are looking better than others but overall pretty nice. Happy Growing ๐ŸŒฑ

This one was a fun grow to watch. Lots of main bud stems. Im excited for the next one. Beautiful color. Covered in frost. No pests.

Last day of the fifth week, and these plants are getting an LST treatment on the main stem, under the split. The Ph is looking better, but there are some leaves that are malformed. Probably got too dry?

I started adding liquid KoolBloom to my reservoir at the start of week 6 after the switch to 12/12. The buds are starting to fill out. Looks like maybe another 2-3 weeks to finish.

this plant has been stressed a lot since a small one mistake of ph had almost brought to death ... ph4 ... it was left alone with that small root ,,,, I had to transplant and put in a 4 liter pot. ... is reborn but a little smaller and stressed ... has grown and flourished .. but even during this flowering I was not at best with fertilizers .. for 5 weeks of flowering ate only pk 13-14 and candy bud .... then I bought the right thing and began to create a lot of resin on those few glasses present making them a little more fat and tasty

She stretched out a little bit in week five so I upgraded the grow-light to a Mars Hydro TS600. Using 0-10-10 Alaska Morebloom for and Light 5-1-1 fish emulsion.

4/13 10AM MONDAY They are looking pretty good. Got the ph stabilized and only running 98W! Using a few DROPS in 18oz to test Purpinator on veggies. 4/14 11am Using a little Purpinator .5ml per gallon and will have to do lots of runoff to prevent burns. Using vegetables to test fro Purpinator burns๐Ÿ‘ 4/15๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Your setup photos are great โ€” thanks for sharing them. The R2-D2 power strip topper is a fun touch (heโ€™s guarding the outlet like a proper astromech droid). Hereโ€™s a clear breakdown of what I see and my honest opinion on the power draw/safety. What youโ€™re running โ€ข Two Mars Hydro TS1000 lights โ€” These are officially rated at 150W each (real-world draw is usually ~145โ€“150W at full power, sometimes a bit less if dimmed). You mentioned ~100W each, but theyโ€™re actually higher โ€” so total for the two lights is roughly 300W. โ€ข Plus the two black fan speed controllers (one for each tentโ€™s exhaust/inline fan). โ€ข A few small wall warts/adapters plugged into the white smart plugs or directly. โ€ข You measured 335W total across tents 1 and 2 on one outlet โ€” that lines up reasonably (lights ~300W + fans/controllers ~20โ€“40W depending on speed + minor losses). Is this safe on one standard outlet/circuit? In most US homes a standard wall outlet is on a 15-amp 120V circuit: โ€ข Max theoretical capacity = 15A ร— 120V = 1,800W. โ€ข Safe continuous load rule (National Electrical Code for things running 3+ hours, like grow lights): Stay under 80% = 1,440W max. Your 335W total is very low โ€” only about 23% of the safe limit. Thatโ€™s comfortably safe. No real risk of overheating the outlet, tripping the breaker, or fire hazard from overload right now. My opinion on the setup: โ€ข Good: Everything is neatly plugged in. The white smart plugs (with the green lights and blue indicator) and the labeled ones (9e, 10e, 11e) look like youโ€™re using them for timers or monitoring โ€” smart move for controlling lights/fans independently. R2-D2 adds personality and keeps the wall organized. โ€ข Fine for now: Two TS1000s + fans on one outlet/circuit is no problem at these low watts. Many small grows run similar loads without issue. โ€ข Long-term suggestions (to keep it safe and reliable as your grows expand): โ—ฆ Donโ€™t daisy-chain too much โ€” You already have multiple adapters and controllers stacked. Avoid adding a lot more (e.g., dehumidifier, heater, or more lights) on the same outlet/circuit. โ—ฆ Check heat โ€” Feel the wall outlet and the power strips after the lights have been running for a few hours. They should be only slightly warm, not hot. If anything feels warm/hot, spread the load. โ—ฆ Dedicated circuit is ideal โ€” For peace of mind, run the lights on their own circuit if possible (or at least separate the fans/controllers if you add more equipment later). โ—ฆ Surge protection โ€” Make sure the main power strip or outlet has good surge protection, especially with grow equipment that can have inrush current when turning on. โ—ฆ Monitor actual draw โ€” Your 335W reading is helpful. If you have a kill-a-watt meter or smart plug that shows real-time watts, keep an eye on it when everything is at full power. The houndstooth shirt hanging on tent 2 is a nice personal touch โ€” makes the grow room feel lived-in and less sterile. Quick safety checklist for your whole setup โ€ข All cords are in good shape (no fraying, especially the black ones going to the fans). โ€ข Nothing is blocking airflow around the plugs/adapters. โ€ข The inline fans and ducting look properly attached (important for heat and smell control). โ€ข If you ever add more lights or equipment, recalculate the total watts and stay under ~1,200โ€“1,400W on that circuit. Overall, your power setup looks thoughtful and creative (love the R2-D2 detail). Itโ€™s not overloaded at 335W, so youโ€™re good to keep running tents 1 and 2 like this while you sterilize and prep tent 3. 4/16 543am 5ft tent sideways attached to 6ft table that can slide around

WEEK 13 - FLOWERING: Late Flowering Phase โ€‹๐ŸŒผ FLOWERING PROGRESS The Monster Maker has officially entered Week 9 of flower. The plant is in the middle of a perfect final "fade," with leaves turning deep purple and yellow as she exhausts her internal nutrient stores. Resin production is at its absolute peakโ€”the buds are rock hard and completely over-wintered with milky trichomes. We are seeing the first few amber heads appearing, signaling that harvest is just around the corner. โ€‹๐Ÿ‘ƒ TERPENES & AROMA The aroma remains incredibly potent. The dominant scent is a sweet, ripe tangerine, which is layered over a heavy, earthy, and slightly spicy base. Itโ€™s a very complex profile that has only become more refined during this final week. โ€‹๐ŸŒก๏ธ ENVIRONMENT & VPD Conditions are being kept stable for the finish. Current readings show 24.8ยฐC and 46% humidity, which keeps the VPD at a solid 1.65 kPa. This environment ensures the resin stays fresh and the dense buds remain safe from any moisture issues during the final days. โ€‹๐Ÿ’ง NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING The flush is in full swing! I started using only plain, pH-regulated water on Thursday (2nd April). She is reacting perfectly to the water-only diet, pushing out the last of her resin while cleaning out all residual nutrients for a superior taste and clean burn. โ€‹Current Feeding: Pure Water Only (Flush in progress since April 2nd) ~~ Citric acid (1.2 ml/l) ~~ โ€‹๐Ÿ’ญ GROWER'S NOTE Week 13 (Flower Week 9). We are watching a masterpiece finish. The trichome coverage is insane, and the fruity-meets-earthy scent is a dream. I am monitoring the amber count daily now. We are looking for that perfect window to chop within the next 7-10 days. The excitement is real!
