First full grow: Zkittlez/Autoflower/indoor

And 3 becomes 2. one of our first 3 planted got root burned in seedling stage and never recovered so we made the decision to stop spending resources and energy on it and pull it. Being in flower increased the risk it would hermi and ruin the others so it had to go. The other 2 are going strong into flower and recovering from their user error induced nute burn; they slowed down a bit but seem to be going well now. I'm seeing some lower leaf yellowing but I'm hesitant to feed them again yet...

Another fairly uneventful week! Temps stayed around the 75/65F range for day/night and the humidifier has kept it between 55-60% RH (not bad for a cheap one off amazon!) Two of the first 3 are still recovering from the nute burn and it slowed their growth a bit; the other one is still struggling hard but going through the phases the same. At this point I'll have to watch for signs I made it a hermie and consider cutting it. I think the FFHF soil may have been a little hot for it and that's...

Low energy week this week, mostly just watering with PH'd water, maintaining enviroment and watching. Had a little hiccup when I decided to try adding nutes with 1/2 strength FF Trio to the first three but I think it was too soon because they got a bit droopy and sad after. It may have been because of adjusting the ties though. Speaking off, I'm done with LST because these girls hit pre-flower right on schedule so where it's at is what it is; I'm not thrilled with the outcome but it's a...

Lots of good growth and filling out, moving the first 3 away from the light worked well and I got enough stretch to start LST on 2 of them. The third is still holding on but it's growing slower and looks unhappy, not really sure what happened with that one but we decided to hold off LST since it's already struggling. The ones that we did start training need to be adjusted again; in retrospect I think we should have probably planted them in the center of the pot but I'll withhold judgment...

Lots of growth in early veg stage this week, the first three we planted are filling out nicely but staying a bit squat which isn't ideal for starting LST. Moved them further from the light to encourage a little stretching. One of them is staying really short and seems to be lagging behind the others, it has me a little worried but I'll wait and see because it seems healthy other than it's size. We started the next 3 seeds and got them planted; they're just barely poking through right now but...

We had some good growth over week 2, most of it right at the tail end of it. Moving them closer to the light helped, they stopped stretching and their color is looking good; I'm happy with the progress so far. The one that came up later stayed pretty squat so i moved it further from the light to encourage a little stretching and hopefully be ready for LST with the other 2. Still just watering with ph balanced water to ~6.5 and no additional nutrients. Temps have been around 78F day and 70F...

Week 1 (7th day) It only took about 24h for the seeds to Crack and for the roots to come out, extending about an 1/8th". We left them soaking in the water for another day and by 48h the root was about 1/4-1/2". We decided to plant them straight into the final pot to avoid transplant shock. Within a couple days, 2 of them had broken through the soil and by the 6th day of growing, all 3 had come up (success! For now.) You'll notice they were planted closer to one side of the pot to allow for...

Not much of an entry today, this is more to mark the first day. Dropped 3 seeds in a cup of water and placed it in a warm, dry, clean space for germination. Once we have three tails, we'll plant them directly into their final home. We decided against putting a buffer of less hot soil around them since I've seen a lot of people say they had great success with using just FF HF; guess we'll try it and see! We'll prepare the pots this evening and get them ready but there really isn't much else...
