Small update. Created a DIY CO2 maker today for her. Combine that with alternating fan cycles, shall see how it goes over the CO2's 2 week life cycle and if it shall be used again.

Not a lot to report today other then she's growing fairy quickly. And becoming increasingly pungent. So fair my alternating fan cycle is working well in use with the CO2, with temps hanging around 77 open door and 79 closed.

Yeah brah thats looking real good. respect man.
Thank you sir!

Not much to report on today. Just checking temps, moisture and everything seeming to go well. Small concern the bottom leaves have a bit of a droop. I can't tell if this is a watering issue or just normal growth. I'm guessing normal growth since watering occurred 3 days ago.

Been a few days, and everything still going fairly well. She was watered yesterday and moving right along and perked up. Judging by its growth, she's almost ready to be FIMed. It's kind of crazy how much she has grown in just 15 days. Received the new fan today, rather large 120mm case fan rated to push 133 CFM. Though it's fairly weak when plugged in with the other 120mm so looks like I will have to go out and get its own adapter.

Damn bro that thing is lookin really nice for only 2 weeks.. How many cfls you got goin? And how far away are they from the plant??

Yep, that is correct, 4 26watts, right now it is probably close to 2 to 3 inch away from the lights. I will probably have to move her down a bit in a few days at the rate she is growing.

Thanks!

So I think she's already showing pistils. I'm not sure if this means she's already in flowering stage or just showing sex really..really...early? Pictures to come later.

Those are some nice pre-flowers Sevren. Auto strains do show pistils at around 3 weeks, so that's a good timing for an auto. Which light schedule are you using on her ?

Awesome, thanks for the reconfirm. Right now she's still on a 20/4 schedule. I guess on the start of week 3 I will switch her over to 18/6 for a week before switching to 12/12 for the rest of her life span?

It may be alright to go 18/6 but you can't go 12/12 with an auto. It's not good to give less than 16h of light to an auto strain ;)

In that case I'll switch to 18/6 on the 27th to make it an even 30 day veg 30 day flower stage. Thanks again.

So it's been a few days again, thought I would give a bit of an update for those interested. It's been 6 days since the last update and since those first pistils showed, I now have a few bud sites. So today her lights were switched from 4 26watt 6500k to 6 26watt 2700k. Also she had her first nute feeding of Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom, both at half dosage for now but I fear I may have over done it. The feeding suggests 4 teaspoons per gallon. Since I'm only giving her a half a gallon at a time, I cut it down to 1 teaspoon of each. I guess if anyone out there can tell me if this is too much or less, it would be greatly appreciated.

I hate foxfarm but i know that their is a modified feeding chart for cannabis plants on RIU. i would use that, and when you runn out of nutes get some Pure beld organincs from GH, it yeilds a lot more. bottom line is i think the dossage u gave ur plants is a little too high.
