Let's see your auto grows!

As soon as my first grow finished up (2x2 photo scrog) I knew I wanted to add another tent and I wanted to try growing autos. I had been using one of the Mars TS1000 tent kits I ordered on Amazon for $370 primed. I put together a budget 3x3 solution on Amazon using a Vivosun tent, Vivosun ventilation kit with carbon filter, and a Maxsisun MF 2000 light for around $300 shipped.

Cheap 3x3 pros: Cost, wattage, square footage, the door opens much wider, quieter ventilation, remote control light, better driver and LEDs
TS1000 kit pros: higher quality tent, able to remotely mount the driver for more temperature control

I wanted to have four perpetual autos and planned on starting a new one every three weeks or so depending on ripeness but the Skywalker OG Auto decided she wants half of the tent so I'm stopping popping seeds until space frees up over time.

These are all mephisto. 2 grapey Walter, 2 ghost toof, 1 alien vs triangle.
Planted seeds on 14 Feb.
Tried something different this go. When transplanting from the 1 gal fabric, put them into a pot that was just harvested.

Cut out a spot big enough for the transplant to fit and stuck it in. This is coco and have read where others had luck reusing it so hopefully it works out.

So far so good. Plants are growing, had to cut back the feed some since transplant.

which strain is it in the back left that looks like it's shot up much taller than the others?

That one and the one to the right (center back) are both mephisto grapey walter.
Interesting pheno variation. That's one reason I top all my plants, I still get some height differences but I find the canopy stays more even making it easier to keep the light at an optimal distance to all the plants. Your plants look great, they don't seem to be affected from the uneven distance to the light, so I might be over thinking my canopy management ideas.

She definitely took off unexpectedly, probably will end up moving her around to keep her in a spot where I can move a light up above her.

Last time I grew grapey walter and ghost toof together they stayed relatively close to the same height

Humboldt Seed Co OG Kush came down today. Had that pine smell most of the grow, but definitely has a sweet kind of smell. Subtle like a cantaloupe or other kind of fruit. I liked her. She gave me no real problems, though tbh... idgaf about burnt tips or slight colorings. Plants get eaten and rained on, too dry and infested by bugs outdoors, so i don't act like i can keep them perfect indoors. Some to all of her will be my testing on my rosin press. I feel like i can get a good return on single runs, so now id like to try 4×20220410_100221.jpg20220410_100239.jpg20220410_100246.jpg 7 gram runs and see what happens. I might very well grab some more of these(they were free) and put in my tent. Definitely worth trying. Humboldt Seed Company has really good genetics and they apparently developed the photo to F5, so that's encouraging that they don't just sell pollon chucks.

A cross of purple punch auto and Durban poison photoperiod. Was a mistaken pollination (purple punch auto went herm and pollinated a durban poison last year) and the first seed i've popped out of the 150 or so seeds i got from the Durban. On day 25 and already pre-flowering heavy. straight Into a 5 gal pot of all purpose potting mix from day one. No feed yet. looks like i lucked out with an autoflower first seed somehow. 70x70x160 tent, 100W QB (16" away) at 20/4.

Will be interesting to see if it colors at all, especially going into winter.
