Let’s continue. Seeds. I wanted some variety in my garden, thanks for people from 420mag who helped me with strains, seeds and set-up. I really appreciate that. Oh, almost forgot, seeds :)
2 x delicious sugar black rose
1 x Bomb THC Bomb
1 x Heavyweight Green Ninja
1 x delicious Black Russian
and I’ve got 2 free Heavyweight Diesel Drift seeds. Got all the seeds from discreetseeds, all seeds germinated at the same time, sprouted from dirt same time and almost went same size all!!! Highly recommend discreetseeds for every1 in uk.
Seeds price: 45£ with shipping for all of them!

SOIL!!! This was one of the hardest parts for me. I was thinking of getting Canna terra or Plagron lightweight mix, BUT when I played with my autos from first pic I found some cool and cheap things. :)) so I made soil by myself, which was something like that:
15l coco (2£ poundland)
10l perlite (6£ ebay)
5l vermiculite (1£ poundland)
45l Moorlands multi purpose compost (poundland, 1£ 20l bag)
Price: 10-11£

I may needed a bit more of coco of compost, as Some of my pouches needed some more, but now it is as it is.
I bought some 3 step fertilizers from poundland (1£ each, so 3£ for 3 bottles)

Then I found this cool stuff called Neutradol on poundland and savers and etc., it seems like it works like ONA gel but is like 5 times cheaper. And I really loved how air sprayer does the job, highly recommend!

7 out of 7 reached their AI sunlight :D very happy. Giving them only water and nothing more. They r staying under CFLs now for about 5 days, but gets some time under my new set up 250w as I am trying to finish my WW manualy taking plant in and out of tent:
1504D641-2B77-48F1-B86D-FB916AE8C5EA.jpeg

Was waiting for my carb filter at that time. Not fully running fan and lights only 250W.

4 AUG. My carb filter finally arrived, mixed soil, and re potted my babies. Put them under light, still 250W for one more (or maybe two) other days:

E10CCC5C-2912-4523-8B47-B2FEB7F35562.jpeg


7 AUG. 400W running, fans are on, 18/6 from 5 to 11 fans are on when lights are on. No intake fan, leave the vents / bugs holes open for passive intake, tent always sucked in, temps not higher than 28 when outside 30+. Willing to achieve simmillar results in autumn when flowering under 600w. Only water, no nutes still:

And my WW:

Hehe :) what do you guys think? What to improve?

I am thinking of:
Diesel Drift to top once to get two main colas.
Don’t do anything with my indicas, MAYBE LST, MAYBE supercropping but nothing more.

Should I consider pruning, etc.? How those strains reacts to training? Would be nice some info on here x)

Planning to send them into flower around 1 Sept, or should I veg for more? Any advices and etc. ARE more than welcome, as I am pretty newbie in growing, so any info that could help me are more than welcome.

BTW. 400W for veg and 600W for BLOOM.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for sharing your wisdom / info!! Thank you once more people :) I will update how it is going. :)
 
13 AUG. One rose is smaller than others, but growing. Might be overwatering it. No more water for her!!!

And I tried to FIM one Diesel Drift. Not sure if done it correctly, it is trickier than topping, after few days gonna top another Drift and on sep 1 going to flowering.

My FIMmed plant:

And I accidently snapped green ninja’s main stem. Taped it and supported, but it looks pretty bad. :( will take some photos of it tomorrow, but I probably lost it, so, let’s say I have only 6 now. Very sad ;((
 
21 AUG. 10 days left until flip. Ladies are growing fast. :) did some LST on Drift and BOMB:

23 AUG. Week left before flip. Most of my ladies recieved LST one or another way. Ninja seems slowly recovering, tried to peel tape off, but saw a wund and taped her back. I will leave for that week her as she is. And photos:

Still BOMB looks like the biggest one, BLACK RUSSIAN is very very bushy, lost one roses branch and another rose is very small. I suspect root problems, but she will give me some budz anyways. :))

Considering 600w 16/8 for last week of veg, any ideas?
 
25 AUG. Plants doing fine. Smallest Rose is about 23cm tall, when bomb and damaged ninja about 34cm. I damaged diesel drift’s one top, but it is recovering. Also damaged ninjas one branch, taped it. And yesterday I started to give them 600w. Want to flip on AUG 28..

It is exactly 4 weeks when they r in veg. Ninja survived, will give some bud, probably. :) i repositioned my plants for flowering.
I started noticing a grow smell outside my tent, may it be because I leave bugz hole open? :/ we’ll see what will happen when my ladies starts flowering. And yet I have mu friend - NEUTRADOL. It will help me go through flowering. :D i hope my neighbours won’t call the police as there is some mad DSS living in the house and what I saw those unemployed, benefits taking bastards are biggest enemies all the time...
 
29 AUG. Second day into 12/12. 600W BOOST (probably 660W) all the way! I ended up bending my smallest rose and BOMB as BOMB was way too huge comparied to others. reLSTd my ladies, that survived Grenn Ninja also does an amazing job :eek:

31 AUG. 4th day when my girls on 12/12 and 600w boost. Needed to move my tent to another room, broke one roses’s branch, taped, willing to be ok. I thought I am gonna loose my nose as I needed to disasemble my tent and move my girls one by one :eek: BOMB shows small brown dots on lower leaves, might be nutrient burnt when feeding or ph or magnesium, need to wait and see what will happen. All plants LSTd, I was dumb by leaving my BOMB grow so tall before I bended her’s top. :/ Some photos below:

Haha, thanks man! I think that it is possible to grow quality bud pretty cheap if you do your homework. :) i think I didm mine. Yeah it was some mistakes and still probably is, but I am doing the best I can! Done some painting earlier in my life, probably will need to get back to it as we’re moving to Bristol as my ladies finishes. :)

And dunno how to lower humidity, probably will need to get some sort of dehumidifier. :/ Take a look at my ladies:
