New Grower First indoor autoflowers

[Howard]

I'm struggling a bit with getting the individual watering dialed in but all are doing well. The plant at rear-left is the Auto Tangerine.

Day 35. Flowering is starting. The plant in the foreground is the Auto Tangerine with the largest of the Charlottes Angel peeking in over its shoulder. At this point the tallest two are getting light at about 860PAR while the shorter ones (further from the lights) are gettin about 580PAR.

Day 42. While experimenting with watering/dryness I had an overnight timer failure and found the Auto Tangerine in full wilt looking dead in the morning!!!! Watering brought it back with several of the fan leaves damaged beyond salvage so I trimmed it a bit. Everyone else is doing well. The two "stunted" Charlottes Angel remain much shorter then the other two. The largest of the Charlottes Angel is becoming somewhat lime-colored as if it is nitrogen deficient . pH is okay, soil N is OK. Watering issue still???

Day 50. The "lime-colored" Charlottes Angel continued its behavior in spite of watering adjustments and even the application of a bat guano tea. So I gave it a watering containing a soluble tomato fertilizer and saw a positive effect within 24 hours. I will continue the dilute fertilizer in the water each day. The other plants are continuing as before. The pic is the "lime" plant.

Day 56. The "lime" Charlottes angel is doing much better but remains a bit pale. The Auto Tangerine is looking almost ready for harvest!! Charlottes Angel numbers 2 & 3 are blooming nicely even though short.

Day 60. I harvested the top colas from the Auto Tangerine based on the beginnings of amber trichomes. I left about 2/3 of the plant still to be harvested and will do so over the next few days as the buds ripen. Here's the first harvest before wet-trimming.

Day 63. Here's the three Charlottes Web plants at nine weeks. I cut a few more of the Tangerine buds today and expect the rest will come off within two days. This pretty much catches me up so I will continue to document the CBD Charlottes Angel plants as they sprint to the finish.

I'm back with my weekly log entry. Seventy days since the seeds sprouted. The Auto Tangerine is all harvested, initially dry, and in the curing jar. Once the moisture stabilizes I will weigh that one and I'll put it here. The Auto Tangerine was all harvested by nine weeks. CBD Charlottes Angel plants continue to build flowers. #1 continues to turn its older leaves "lime" then yellow. pH and soil tests all come out good. I've tried different watering strategies without change. The addition of a dilute flowering fertilizer to each watering seems to have had the most effect???? The picks below show how different these three plants are. The differences not withstanding, all are flowering well and should finish up in the next two to three weeks,

77 DAYS and still growing. As the flowers begin to mature it's even more evident these three "Auto Charlotte's Angel" plants are each their own phenotype as the flower structure and coloration is different. Still a week or two until cutting (I think). Here they are today:
"AUTO TANGERINE" update. Moisture stabilized and curing beautifully this plant yielded 54 grams in 9 weeks.

I began the harvest of the Charlotte's Angel" #1 last night. Nice heavy buds . Hear's a pic. Weight to come in a couple of weeks.
