Greetings everyone!
I read a few grow journals on the site and felt like starting one of my own. I have been growing weed for about 6 years, my first few grows were done with autoflowering strains, but I steered away from them and into the photo genetics. Lately I've re-gained my interest in autos, the genetics have really come a long way since the Lowryders I started with.
This grow journal will not be all that specific, mostly because I don't keep track of the flowering days. I just let the plants do their thing and harvest them when they seem ripe, this style of growing has served me well and I hope the lack of detailed information doesn't bother anyone.
I have 4 autoflowering strains in 3 liters of coco in self-watering pots. The strains are Dutch Passion AutoXtreme and Auto Blueberry, and Sweet Seeds Red Poison and Black Cream. Unfortunately I messed up the labels and have no clue which is which. I think I might be able to recognize them once they've flowered for a while. I also have 3 self-made Spyder seeds germinating, if I get a male I might pollinate the DP and SS strains.
I will be handwatering the plants daily using h3ad's formula (a modified lucas formula), the ratios will change slightly depending on the plants needs, I also tend to keep them slightly lower than recommended.
I'll update this journal every now and then, hope you enjoy. Oh and constructive criticism is always welcome, if you feel I'm doing something horribly wrong, please chime in.
My setup is:
Secret Jardin DP90 90x60x90cm
80w LED-panel (Hans) and 4x55w PL-L fixture (6500K)
3 liters of coco in self-watering pots
AN Jungle Juice Micro and Bloom
Two 120mm computer fans, 1 for intake and 1 for extraction (228 m³/h / 133,60CFM). Not sure about the intake fans specs.
ONA Block for odor control.

This is what the plants look like as of right now. They're about two weeks old, I've been watering them about 2.5dl per plant daily for about a week, not enough obviously as there's not enough run off. Going to run more water through the coco with milder nutrients tommorow, there's probably salt buildup already. The smallest plant in the back left is a couple of days younger than the rest, it couldn't handle the watering schedule at first so it's a bit behind the others. I'm using 1.6ml of Micro and 2.4ml of Bloom per about 1.2 liters of water.
