I love it, taking the initiative. Nice start bud... and welcome

Introduction I decided to keep a grow diary as way to track my progress, and of course gain knowledge and insight from all you experienced bois who will hopefully be checking out the progress. I figured I would put everything I have so far in one initial post, and then keep updating as I go along. Setup Tent: Infinity 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m Grow Tent Lights: Green Houston 250W Quantum Board (Dimmable) x 2 Fans: RAM Inline and Outline Fan, with Carbon Filter. Pots: Garden HighPro Larger Propots - 20lt x 6 Growing Medium: Freedom Farms Coco-Perlite Growing Medium 70/30 Humidity: Mini 850ml Dehumidifier for Home Environment Monitor: Standard DIGITAL HYGROMETER Nutrients: Terra Aquatica GHE FloraMicro, GHE FloraBloom, Terra Aquatica CalMag Genetics Simba Seeds Critical Auto Fem x 3 Simba Seeds Amnesia Haze Auto Fem x 3 Decided to make the commitment into a hobby I’ve always wanted to do. Found a guy on Gumtree selling a whole setup that had been used once, before he upgraded. For R7200, figured it was a good deal. Decided to go with Autos, due to loadshedding, and leave the lights on 24/7. Ordered 6 seeds in total (Two separate orders) for 6 pots. Also got a Seedling Heat Mat, figuring if I’m spending money on seeds I may as well make sure they pop. April 25, - April 28, Of the first Critical Auto Fems, one misgermed as can be seen in the top right: Was yellowed, and didn’t rise through the soil like the others after being planted. Contacted the supplier and got a refund. 2 x Critical planted on 28 April 2023. May 1 My two Critical seedlings, still in the square plastic pots from the original setup, before I decided to swap over to Fabric Pots. May 5,- May 7 Ordered my next seeds, the Amnesia Haze. This time I also decided to germinate an auto seed a friend gave me (“Fruit Salad” – Strawberry Vostok x Pineapple Express.), just in case. Lo and behold, one Amnesia Haze didn’t pop at all, so I also got a refund for that one. 2 x Amnesia Haze and 1 x “Fruit Salad” planted 7 May 2023. May 14 Progress photo, had swapped to fabric pots by this point. May 22 Slight Magnesium Deficiency May 24 Looking better after increasing CalMag slightly. Pistils also showing on Criticals. As they are at the start of pre-flower I added my CO2 Bag into the tent. May 25 Started low stress training the Criticals. The other 4 are still too small to train. May 28 Criticals are responding well to LST. Other 4 catching up nicely.

Looking good. Looking forward to your fruit salad, it’s the seeds I made from @Bay Seeds Vostok and Fastbuds Pineapple Express. Grown a couple myself and seen quite the variety of phenos. Current one seems to have missed the autoflower gene Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And onward still

Update

Yes it is straight orgasoilux. I recon another 10 days then transplant to final container. Will probably veg another 30days before I can start flowering. Gonna cut them back quite a bit. They look very green cause I sprayed jadam wetting and sulphur.

Ya these plants look serious, this is just straight orgasoil lux? how long you plant on vegging the small plants?

May 29 The two Criticals were becoming bushy, and responded well to their LST. Adjusted the tie-downs today, 4 days after the initial training. Incorporated more tie-downs for each bud site, to ensure maximum light coverage and penetration. Fan leaves were tucked instead of pruned, as I am told is policy with autos, as they don't respond well to stress. They look a little mangled now but will be way happier in a day or two Before and After

Great start, good equipment, solid method. You should have a really good run with this.

More additions for future seeding runs

A very slow start. Was panicking. Most of the growth happened in the last 2 to 3 days. Really taking off now

Use humidity domes... no watering and air humidity stays high. Plants in germination love very humid air, the dome will keep it that way... over 80%. Veg around 60%... flower 40%. Totemic already said it.. lift the pot, then you know if you have to water or not.

Yeah the drier you manage to let them get allows the taproot to really dive deep in search of moisture. The bigger the root gets the bigger the top can get. When i plant my seeds after a 24h soak, its into 15l pots, which are watered thoroughly to the point of runoff. Then i start feeling the weight of the pots day after day. Only water when it has lost most of the water weight.

We have a green light.
