1st grow in 14yrs, 1st ever auto. I'm nervous.... Week2: Dried out coco from over watering. Hung 2nd LED MH-TS1000. Hung wet towel in front of fan to increase Humidity. Getting 82F/56H much better VPD (went from 2.1 to 1.15). Tomorrow will finish topping off soil. I didn't have any Bone Meal till today. Well it's day14, I decided to go ahead and top off soil. 1st I added to ea 1/3cup of Bone Meal, 1/4 cup Bat Guano, 2tbsp Calcium Nitrate and Potassium Nitrate. Lightly mixed layer to top 1" of soil. Then added 1-1/2" of Canna coco mix (25% worm castings, 10% perlite) gently to surface. Last, I added a layer of cedar chips to the surface. (Hope I didn't do this too early...)

This week some of the plants are starting to show a few brown pistils on the calyxes as an indicator that peak bloom period is occurring. I don’t expect them to do much other than fill out a bit at this point with exception of some of the more Sativa phenotypes like the Tangerine Dream. One of the these seedplants failed to bloom properly it may lack the autoflowering genes. I don't want to risk damaging the roots in the system by culling it. I might leave it in to see what happens and transplant it before I clean out the system for the fall grow. I’m pretty satisfied with the autoflower grow so far but I do have some room for improvement: 1) Next grow I will use CNS17 Ripe possibly from start to finish to see if that improves the flowering of the plants. I feel that my feed is high in nitrates so I am starting to flush this week. 2) You can see by the plants all showed variation in physical appearance and Trichrome production. The only plant that has gone purple out of the batch and is a high yielding Gorilla Zittles from Barneys. If I grow autoflowers again in this system I want to choose plants that are a little more uniform. I think the Botanicare Turbo Garden and similar systems are best suited for clones as they grow a little more uniform. Autoflowers even from the same strain have a wide variation which is cool because every seed is a surprise. 3) I need an overhead plant support. I am not sure how the plants survived some pretty high winds. One stem broke and I repaired it enough so that the plant actually survived. 4) I'm working on a microcontroller sensor node to allow some automation to the system. My favorite plants in this batch are the Dinafem Amnesia Auto CBD based only on aesthetics at this point. The Blue Dream Auto from Humbolt is one of the smaller plants but it has quite a bit of resin on it. The smaller plants may have been stunted as my nute level from the beginning was approaching upper limits for leaf burn (1.7-1.8 EC). I had since backed down but over-fertilization in early stages is not reversible and comes at a cost of plant health and vigor. I took a video to try and show the overall garden progress. I did not defoliate this grow which makes it hard to see the individual flower structure but I will have defoliated harvest photos coming up soon!

It's been a challenging couple of weeks, but things are looking up! After some LED light stress due to an additional led light being added, the plants have rebounded beautifully. Last week, I gradually increased the light intensity from 67% to 80%, and we're now into the second week of a reduced 12-hour light schedule. Every strain is thriving, and the tent is filling out nicely. The bonus auto-flower is particularly impressive, budding out at an incredible rate. A bit of LST has led to some stunning bud sites. The smell is strong, and the sticky resin is already starting to show—promising signs of a great yield ahead! Side note: Took pictures and videos with the tent lights off and camera light. It looks like an entirely different plant. The Trichomes reflect so much stronger with the cell LED when staring straight on.

Las niñas se recuperaron muy rápidamente del transplante a su nuevo macetero . se ven bastantes vigorosas y con formaciones de resina en hojas grandes , su olor (se siente bastante agradable ) ya se esta empezando a notar en el cuarto. el panel led encuentro que les gusta mucho a las plantas se notan bastantes exitadas con la penetracion de luz que emite el equipo. The girls recovered very quickly from the transplant to their new pot, they look quite vigorous and with resin formations in large leaves, their smell (feels quite pleasant) is already beginning to be noticed in the room. the led panel I find that plants really like it, they are quite excited with the penetration of light emitted by the equipment,

Gorilla Jealousy F1 is growing great. She has loads if med sized frost colas developed. She is actively working on bulking now. Ever since she got hungry and started a early fade. I increased her feed to stop it. Looks like she took to it well. She did get a bit tall for my liking in this tent. So I am not running the light at 100 percent. It gets too warm when the tent is really full and it being Sumner. Everything is looking great.

There was a very high heat wave in my country! For the past week we had 40 ª Celsius during day time and 30ª during night time. I lowered the led potency to minimal settings and it workerd really good. The strais are the same and it is really easy to see the differences between them.

Läuft.........

Starting week 4 by lowering scrog and bending some branches, slightly weaved the branches through anywhere they would fit. First time using a scrog net executed to see the results. Thinking next week will be last week of veg

Full feed cycle , topping fimming an constant de leafing also added full spectrum led light 150w

Last week plants were looking super healthy and responded very well to the second topping so I decided to flip the light schedule few days later. They already started stretching and the smell is noticeably enhanced.

Elegance in Bloom 🔥🍪🌸 My second Red Hot Cookies has officially entered Week 2 of bloom, and she’s already proving to be a real gem on the balcony. Compared to her taller sister, she may have started more compact and controlled, but now she’s stretching gracefully, stacking sites, and presenting all the traits I love about this strain. Her structure is even and balanced, and her leaves carry that deep, lush green that signals health and vitality. 🌿 She took well to her training earlier on, and now in flower she’s rewarding that work with a broad, light-friendly canopy. The pistils are starting to push through in abundance, promising a fine display of frosty bud sites in the weeks ahead. Watching her transition into full bloom is a joy—there’s something magical about this stage where the energy shifts from pure growth into pure production. ✨ Feeding & Environment Notes for the Week: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 3 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz Bloom – 2 ml/L 🔸 BioBizz TopMax – 1 ml/L 🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/L steady to support strong cell walls 🔸 Dechlorinated tap water for all mixes 🔸 pH: 6.1 🔸 EC: 1.8 mS/cm So far, she’s responded beautifully to the transition. No signs of stress, no hesitation—just steady upward growth and early bud development. If she continues at this pace, I expect her to become a dense, bushy producer, with multiple tops forming into thick colas. 🌸🍃 This strain never fails to impress me, and I’m especially excited to see how Red Hot Cookies #2 will shine in comparison to her sister. Each one brings its own personality, and that’s part of the charm. With bloom fully underway, the stage is set for her to show what she’s truly capable of. 🔥 Here’s to strong pistils, chunky bud sites, and the unmistakable sweet-spicy aroma that’s soon to follow.

The buds shine like a shooting star mad sticky too⭐️ First thing that hits me with the smell straight up like canned pineapples in syrup🤤🍍

The grow is going exactly as planned so far, and the plant was topped on day 16. To minimize stress from the procedure and boost recovery, I bumped up the relative humidity, dropping the VPD for 24 hours. At the same time, I slightly dialed back the light intensity for this short recovery phase. ​I watered twice this week with one liter of nutrient solution each time. The first feed was at an EC of 1.8, and for the second one, I lowered it a little to an EC of 1.4. ​Right after the short recovery phase, I applied some LST to pull the final 4 main shoots outwards. By the end of the week, the light intensity was increased again and is now sitting at 75% (around 450–500 PPFD). The plant is now ready for a very early flip to the 12/12 light schedule.

First week has come and gone. Spray watering twice daily. Now getting a pour every other day. All is good! This is under the Medic Grow Mini-Sun-2. This 150w light is built for the 2x2. I've got it up at 24 inches right now. Based off how the girls look. Dimmed to 40% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by!

When we had so many problems with the other two strains. This strain keeps pushing out buds like the little engine that could. Closest to the light, it handles heat and light way better than her counterparts. It also has some major trichome formation starting covering the entire top leaves. It is starting to smell and form real compact dense buds, although not very pronounced yet. We shall see but she promises to deliver some nice danky bud after all. Nice to see she still pulls together, also nice to see how different this strain behaves from others I have grown. Time will tell the total tally... We shall see if there is a Silverback in the making, but at least she is not staying behind any more. Also here, 3 to 4 more weeks... Cant wait! Thank you for checking in! More budshots follow of this one! Hug Bud
