Hello everyone!
First things first.. I've been watching AF since I started growing like 2-3y ago, but only accomplished e complete grows as my country/parents really hate Cannabis and it's a pain in the ass to receive a visit home and move/hide the whole shbang. Growing Cannabis changed my life in a very positive way and I want to contribute as much as I can, starting with my new grow! Laziness aside:
Medium/mix: 50/50 Sphagnum and perlite
Grow Method: Topping on 4th/5th node depending as she is healthy or not and LST to keep things flat.
Fertilizer: Pretty much following TaNg's easy schedule, adding some suff here and there.
Supplements: Adding Neem oil every week on water and diatomaceous earth on top of the medium. Last grow I got some spider mites 2 weeks before harvest and f*ck those lil things, lots of work to control them. Even washed after harvest and got a nice result in the end, but better prevent.
Water Source: Tap water, pH around 8 but never had problems while using AN ph perfect.
Sex: Feminized
Breeder: Dutch Passion
Strain: Auto Colorado Cookies
Indica, Sativa or Hybrid: Indica
Light: 250W HPS (cooltube)
Light Schedule: 18/6
Set-up: Grow tent
Dimensions: 2 x 2 x 6 ft
Hydro or Soil: Soil
Number of plants: 1
Temperature/Humidity: It's summer here, so temps pretty much around 30ºC inside the tent and rh close to 80% as the room is around 26ºC with A/C. Outside is around 32-35ºC and rh close to 90% (Like hell, but wet).
PH: Praised be AN
Odor Control: none
Exhaust: one exhaust fan for the cooltube, one for the active air intake on bottom, a hole on top for the passive airflow and a small fan to give her that little wiggle.
Additional info: I'll be adding details during the updates!
I'm probably messing up with photos around the thread, but theres a first time for everything! And a special thanks already to @TaNg for the awesome schedules and @autobeast for the topping thread.
Took like 2 days to germ but no problems at all!
End of day 2:
Day 3:
Day 5:
Day 7:
The first photos are really bad! Next ones are better, I promise!
Notes for the first week: As temps are really high, she showed up a bit of heat stress (leafs folding a bit) and a small stripe in one leaf (maybe some kind of insect). For week 2 I started adding Rhino Skin on feeding (with good results already, as i'll post her updates now at day 13)
