Title: 100% ChatGPT-Guided Grow – 12/12 Fast Flower Test (With Supervision)
Hey growers!
This grow is an experiment: I'm letting ChatGPT guide my entire grow cycle, from lighting to nutrients to environmental tweaks. It’s all based on AI suggestions.
Of course, I’ll still be keeping a close eye on things — if I see something going wrong or the plants aren’t vibing with the plan, I’ll step in. But the idea is to test how far AI can take a grow under controlled conditions.

Updates will be posted in a personal yet informative style — a hybrid of stoner chill and data-driven grow logs.
Let’s see what AI can do in the grow tent. Stay tuned! 🤖🌿
🌱 Weeks 1–3 (May 20 – June 9) – Seedling to Early Flower (Stretch Phase)
Goals: Strong root development, firm stem structure, controlled stretch
Light: 12/12, start at ~500 PPFD → ramp up to 800 PPFD (day 14–21)
CO₂: 1500 ppm (only active when lights are on and temps 26°C)
Temperature: 26–28°C day / 22–24°C night
RH: Start at 70% → gradually lower to 60%
Nutrients (EC ramp-up):
Start EC: 1.0 → increase to 1.4
Plagron Cocos A+B + CalMag Pro (0.2 EC tap water)
Always mix Silica Power first (0.1 ml/L)
Actions:
Week 2: Start light defoliation on lower leaves
Week 3: Begin LST if desired
pH: 5.8 throughout the veg phase
🌸 Weeks 4–5 (June 10 – June 23) – Flowering Phase 2 (Bud Set)
Goals: Initiate flower formation, maintain healthy leaf mass, stimulate bloom
EC: 1.5–1.7 (monitor Blumat watering rate carefully)
RH: 55–60%
Nutrients:
Plagron Cocos A+B
CalMag Pro
Silica Power (0.1 ml/L – only until end of week 5)
Start B.A.C. F1 Extreme Booster at half dose, watered manually twice a week
Light: 900–1000 PPFD if plants can handle it
🌼 Weeks 6–7 (June 24 – July 7) – Flowering Phase 3 (Bud Building)
Goals: Develop dense flower structure, maximize flowering potential
EC: Up to 1.8 max
RH: 45–50%
Nutrients:
@Plagron Cocos A+B + CalMag Pro
@BAC. F1 Extreme Booster at full strength
Actions:
Final defoliation at beginning of week 6
Inspect leaves regularly for airflow and mold prevention
💧 Weeks 8–9 (July 8 – July 21) – Ripening Phase
Goals: Maximize terpenes, trichome maturity, flush medium
Week 8:
EC: taper down to 1.4
Stop using booster
Optional single flush with enzymes (manual watering)
Week 9:
Only plain tap water through Blumat (~0.2 EC)
Temperature: 24–26°C
Dim lights to ~600 PPFD for final 3–4 days
✂️ Week 10 (July 22 – July 28) – Harvest
Trichome check: Aim for 10–20% amber with a loupe
Optional: 48 hours darkness before harvest
Temperature: Keep low (20–22°C) to preserve terpenes
Deadline: Harvest no later than July 28

May 20 – CO₂ moved outside, lighting dilemma, and a warm future ahead
Moved the CO₂ generator outside the tent today. Immediate win: steady 700 PPM from just the pilot light, no active burn needed. When turned off, it drops neatly to 400 PPM, matching the calibration point. Double-checked with the Dimlux CO₂ sensor—readings line up perfectly.
Still no tracking info for the originally ordered lights, so out of impatience I grabbed two new 720W LM281B fixtures from Germany this afternoon. Should arrive Friday/Saturday. It's a Trade Assurance order, so in theory, I'm covered.
Now the question: let the seedlings coast at 259 µmol for two more days, or hang the old lights to boost them to 500 µmol? Eight out of twelve are already above soil, and honestly, I’d rather not mess with the current vibe. Leaning toward leaving them be—low stress, happy sprouts.
Best part: temps dropped to 27.9˚C inside the tent now that the CO₂ generator’s out. Room itself is 24˚C, so all in all pretty chill. Curious what’ll happen once those dual 720W monsters fire up… it’s gonna get toasty, no doubt.
24/05: Stocked up on new Plagron nutes—finally. Now I can lock back into the full 10-week feeding plan (Plagron Cocos + B.A.C.). Flushing the res tonight and going full reset. Mixing fresh soup right after, dialed in to match this schedule:
Week 1:
Plagron Cocos A/B: 2 ml/L
B.A.C. Silica Power: 0.2 ml/L
Plagron CalMag Pro: 0.5 ml/L
B.A.C. F1 Extreme Booster: 0 ml/L
EC: 0.9–1.0
pH: 5.8
PPFD: 500
DLI: 22
RH Day: 70%
RH Night: 65%
CO₂: 700 ppm
