Yo everyone!
I'm new on this site, i really wanted to keep a grow diary,so i started one here.
It is my first round with autoflowers, before i had two rounds with ''normal'' strains.

So, what i have:

Place: 120x120x200

Light: Sylvania GroLux 600W Hps + Cool Tube
On the first week 24/0 lights on, after transplantation 20/4h for the end.

Ventilation:
-Exhaust: 480m3/h fan + Can Lite 425m3/h Carbon Filter
-Blower: 280m3/h fan

Pots: First small plastic cups, and after 1 week, 12Litres pots.

Soil: I plant the seeds for Plagron LightMix, and after 1 week, at the
transplantation for bigger pots i'll put them into Plagron AllMix

Water: I have ph meter, i will adjust the water for 6.5PH and with this I will be watered.

Nutrients: Plagron :
-Terra Grow
-Terra Bloom
-Enzym
-Green Sensation
-Power Roots

Strains:
-2x Paradise Auto Wappa
-2x Barney's Farm Auto Sweet Tooth
-1x Sweet Seeds Auto Dark Devil
-1x Sweet Seeds Cream Caramel F1 Fast version(its not a true AF, but its fast:) )
-2x Sweet Seeds BlackJack Automatic

So that's all, i will update continously and next time i will upload more pictures too.
3 Days left to germination.

P.S.: Sorry for bad english, i hope u can understand.

PEACE!

If you notice something i doing bad, TELL ME PLEASE i want to learn grow autoflowers.

You seem prepared, but there are a couple things that may be an issue (Or maybe not).

#1) If it is at all possible, plant those seeds into their final pot from the beginning, or consider cutting a hole in the bottom of the cup (Called a tiered transplant) To reduce the risk of shocking the seedlings. If you are very skilled, however, you can transplant them without issue. I have seen it done successfully, but I haven't been brave enough to try myself haha.

#2) By "Blower" do you mean an intake fan? If so, the the CFM of your exhaust fan is only slightly greater than your intake. When you also account for the air resistance created by your duct work, cool tubes, and filter there is a possibility that your tent will have positive pressure, rather than negative pressure which could cause an odor leakage issue.

#3) How do you intend to flower your sweet seeds caramel? Are you going to just veg her out with the autos and flip after harvest?

#4) Very wise decision to use a PH meter even though you are in soil. It's a priceless tool! Be sure to store it in a PH probe storage solution. A 4.0 Calibration solution also works. I neglected my PH pens maintenence, and when I finally calibrated it was off by 1.3 PH points. It could have been a catastrophe if left unchecked

Not bring critical, just trying to contribute. Subscribed for your journey, brother!:smokebuds:

Good luck with your first autos. Sounds like some choice strains to try.

Yo brother, thanks for visit me!

#1) Okay, so i will plant them into the final 12L pots,and i wont change the soil, i will use Plagron AllMix from the beginning to the end.

#2)Yeah i tought on intake fan.I bought this growbox as a set, i think this fans are tested, this 480 m3/h will lose some power by carbon filter and cool tube,so i hope it will be good.

#3)Yes the cream caramel was an unperceptive choice, i tought it is an autoflower... i wont start this strain. I dont want to flip this after AFs, when I end this round i will start immediately the next round so i cant make 12/12 for cream caramel.

#4)It's my first time to use ph meter, cuz my last round indoor
I had some ph problems, what would be the best value to calibrate the water?Is 6.5PH good for watered?

I receive all negative, and positive comments with pleasure :)

Thanks, dude these strains are recommended by my friend:)

Peace!

Im sure the fans will b fine, just make sure the sides of the tent are pulling in so none of that lovely stank escapes.

I have also heard good things about those strains. I am sure you will be happy with the end results.

I grow in hydro, but around 6.5 is the sweet spot for soil. It will also naturally buffer your PH a bit as well. I use both a 7.0 & 4.0 Calibration solution to make sure my meter is accurate. I just pour some of the 4.0 solution into the PH pens cap for storage. Storing the PH pen dry can damage he electrode. A small bottle of the solution will last you a very long time, you only need to calibrate the meter every few weeks to be safe.
 
In the new year i will starting the diary, i had unexpected expenses so i had to postpone, Happy New Year for everyone, coming soon!
