I’ve got 2 photos and 1 auto. The photos are Bazooka Punch and the auto is a Deelite. Just got a 2nd tent for the auto. It has been a game of trial and error. Figuring out what works for my setup, the plants have personality.
The auto is thin and spindly. She is in flower and despite being thin from some early issues, is doing well.
I just flipped the photos to flower on Nov 8th. Photo #1 is tall and pretty. Photo #2 is more compact and full.
The soil is Ocean Forest, Lotus Nutes. Right now they are hanging out in a 5x5 with a Vivosun 4” duct fan, VS1000 light, H19 humidifier, and Aerowave E6 fans.
The 2nd tent is a 2x4’ with similar accessories.
All said, I knew that the first couple of grows would be the learning stage and I’m already planning the next cycle. Going to experiment with cropping techniques, training, etc.
Is it delusions of grandeur or the pursuit and thrill of growing something great? Maybe a little of both. Happy growing to all!

Looking great! Maybe start a journal and we can watch or assist as needed with your next grow.

Thank you for the kind words of support. Advice is always appreciated. I’ve got a degree in botany, but these are the most temperamental plants I’ve ever cultivated. They can be very unforgiving if the balance of any one thing gets thrown off.
I’ve been tracking in the VIVOSUN controller app and have a calendar book for reminders and backup tracking. Temps, humidity, VPD, CO2 levels, feeding…all the things.
The next grow, I’m going to be ambitious and try a hydroponic setup, 4 plants. It will be a couple months off though I think.

Keep in mind that you don’t have to go full hydroponic to get many of the benefits of hydroponics. I grow in coco and perlite using automatic feeders. I only have to water every 3-4 days (top off the reservoir). Another option you could look at are GroBuckets. Both systems simplify the grow and automate watering and these don’t have any risk of leaks.

I’d research GroBuckets and the automatic self feeding bases from AC Infinity or Vivosun as other options worth considering.

I’d also consider replacing the coco coir medium with ProMix HP when I run it again.
