Simply Nuggets - A 420AutoFlower inspired grow journal

Edit:

Like others, I will be making this journal a continuously updated log of all of my grows.

Please tagalong and comment with any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticism!

Thanks for following!

Re-edit.

With advise from @Hobbes the Auto Daiquiri Lime by Dutch passion, and the Anvil F9 by Gnome Automatics will be the last run in this journal.

All subsequent grows will have their own dedicated journals, to allow for quicker reference in the future.

Appreciate everyone who is following along as I continue to figure the whole thing out!

Little update. They have fully bounced back and are staring to bush out.

The Ph keeps dropping and I haven’t really figured out why yet.

Feed went in last night at 6.2 and is currently sitting at 5.0.

TDS/EC level has not changed enough to warrant that though

Probably going to try and drain tonight and replace with a small smaller amount of fresh feed and see what’s going on.

Everything looking healthy for now so we may just run it if it keeps up

I got that garlic jam on list to grow. Nice lineup.

Did a major defoliation on grease gun and four assed monkey. Had to cut out the screen to really get in there, and re scrogged after. They did good but I feel I could still cut more.

A labor of love, that I feel is 100% needed to achieve the best results with this method.

Really trying to avoid another pancake like in my profile picture, although it was still great smoke I feel like there is so much room to improve.

lots of things happening with the other plants as well.

chopped down crème de la chem plants,

won’t get much off of them, but I really wanted to give the gorilla cookies room to grow after seeing how nice @GasPlease grow is going.

She has also received a major defoliation since this photo was taken. But I will have to update that some other time as I forgot to take photos.

Lastly, the other four plants (only have a photograph of two) all got a SCROG as I feel their pre-stretch is over, however, none of them really got as large as I was hoping :smiling_face_with_tear:

Next time I will definitely be starting more seeds and doubling up plants in totes that can fit it and allowing single totes for the larger ones.

How long after first pistils do you wait to get her under the net?

One thing I’m seeing in your pics is that you need to keep those main tops horizontal under the net. Keep them pinned until you see the pistils clustering. Don’t wait until the pom poms have formed but right before as they are starting to cluster. This will get you more vertical growth.

10-14 days after I see the very first pistols is what I thought was the way. But I feel like it’s less of a hard number and more of a sense it out kind of thing..

You are saying you think I should let it go longer before scrogging it? Thats what I was thinking if so.

My first schwazz and the net gets dropped 7 days after seeing first pistils. I would say 7-10 days is a solid range. Hindsight I would’ve waited til day 10 on this cookies. The farther into stretch you wait the shorter the vertical will be.

But without keeping the main tops pinned you won’t get that small growth to explode.

So scrog earlier and keep tops pinned throughout the stretch. Right at the end of stretch you unpin those tops letting them grow vertical at that point

I appreciate it! It’s only my second ever autoflower grow so I’m still learning how to handle them.

no doubt I’ll continue to improve with all the help and information collected here!

Glad to help. Here is a pretty good visual of keeping the main tops down while letting the rest of the stems grow vertical. Look around the perimeter of the canopy and you’ll notice them.

I have come to realize that I am bad at keeping up with this journal. :sweat_smile:

I’ll try to get on a more regularly scheduled posting regime… But some updates for now!

Today, I am starting the Jean-O’s Genetics, What’s my name F4. As well as Brorher Mendel painted lady. They are just going to be a simple soil run because I do not feel like buying more pumps to set up more Hydro systems.

I already have the anvil F9 rolling from gnome automatics

The auto daiquiri line is getting quite bushy and I’m very excited for it. I have a feeling she’s going to be just as much of a beast as I hoped for.

My grease gun and four assed monkey are getting close to finish

Anticipate within a week or two, so I have dialed back the nutrients on them

Grease gun -

Four assed monkey -

Also have a couple of plants that were going to be culled… then they got moved outdoors and stuck in some soil… then they got moved back into the tent…went through a crazy color flush… I’m not really sure, probably just gonna turn it into some bubble hash :sweat_smile::joy:

That daiquiri could use a couple leaves removed??? Maybe 2-4 of those top center fans. It would unleash those laterals.

Awesome if you think so I’m going to do it, I wanted to, but was afraid even that might be enough to push it into flowering

I had already removed a couple and then I accidentally topped it when I was bending the tip a few days back, but I don’t believe that forced it over so a couple more leaves shouldn’t hurt… or at least if you don’t think so lol

She will be fine.
