Auto Royal Gorilla Grow

My
Seed - AutoFlower-Royal Gorrilla from RQS.
Clone from previous grow-Kritikal
25 litre AirPots
Coco professional plus
Finether 60×60×140cm grow tent.
Black Orchid Radial flow in-line extractor fan.
500W LED grow light (unknown brand. EBay. Will be upgraded when budget allows)
Guaibioshi red blue 5:1 LED full spectrum grow strip. (More light the better. No? Any tips or Advice very welcome.)
Small oscillating 2 speed fan
Custom intake fan made from desktop PC fan blended onto a section of the exhaust fan ducting. The fan only has one speed until I come across a dimmer switch so I just give the tent a blast with cold air morning and night. With the oscillating fan on 24/7
BIOBIZZ BIOGROW for veg phase
BIOBIZZ BIO BLOOM for flowering
BIOBIZZ BIO-TOPMAX to boost bud growth.
For water I use straight tap water. I live in the Scottish countryside our local water is very good for gardening/farming.


So I won't go into my last grow let's just say I started with just a cfl bulb and a reflective panel from my windscreen. I used this as my trial run and built my setup around the plants. I made many mistakes, and my ladies suffered at my inexperience. I learned from each error and I can only say many of my mistakes could have been avoided if I didn't rush in, read up and research before you make a move, ask questions on forums.
As I said trying to learn as I went i took a cutting from the Kritikal I started my grow with as it was just a test I just sat it in water for a day in darkness then just planted it in beside the mother plant (another rushed noob mistake), I don't know why I thought it would go back to veg mode with out changes to light etc. So to minimise the risk of stressing the plant out even more i left it alone. 1 week passes I scoop out the root and surrounding soil and put into a small plant pot. Using the old cfl light in the cupboard my tent is in during my other plants night time and going back to BIOBIZZ BIO GROW to kick start the veg process. This worked to my utter surprise growth has been slow I think due to the small pot I today transfered it into a 25 litre AirPot
My Royal Gorrila from RQS, arrived on 26th April and using RQS easy start pots (these are great) 4days later (today) I get up and check the bottom and a tail was poking out a good 5mil out. So into the other pot it went that brings us to speed so far.

Day 2.) 01/05/19
Today i don't plan on doing much, mist the clone, check moisture of soil in both pots. I have small worry that the RG (Royal Gorilla) is stretching too much, i read that a vigorous growth from seed is good, but im worried. here is todays pics, any advice welcome as always:Namaste:

Day 3.)02/05/19 - Day 3 of journal - seed planted 26/04/19
Royal Gorilla - Today being 3 days in the big pot, i gave the RG plain water just to moisten the soil, as the top was starting to dry out and i changed the direction of the fan to give it more of a direct breeze.
Kritikal (clone) she is doing very very well considering the harsh start to life she had. I am continuing with half recommended strength BioBizz-BioGrow 500ml water/2.5ml BBBG. LST is going well i think but seems to be new growth is all bunched together (is this a thing with clones?/ what am i doing wrong?/ how do i fix it? /can i fix it?).

Day 9). Royal Gorilla - Finally got a PH tester, just to confirm what i was told my straight tap water is 6.9/7.0 which i pretty much expected and i just put a drop of PH down. im now watering at 6.3/6.5 which is what i had been advised is correct PH for Autos. Week 2 i will begin to add 25% BBBG to her and build on that. Not much has been going on this week with RG.
Kritikal- lot of vegetative growth on my little warrior and im mega happy. the main reason i went and got the tester was because of the stalks going red and i really wanna try rescue bring back from the brink. I upped the BBBG to 75% strength as i think extra groth needs extra fuel.
as always please comment i love advice.
My kids started a tomato plant each and Scottish weather is crap so i brought them in side the tent till the weather pick up.

Royal Gorilla Auto- ive been unwell this week and basically slept for 2 days during those 2 days good things happened and bad things happened.
Good, Royal Queen Seeds sent me replacement seed for the Royal Cookies that failed to germinate. Thanks RQS.
Bad, The clips holing up my LED slipped and it dropped down a good 10 inches. I have some light burn/bleaching. hopefully it wont affect it too much. new growth from it seems to be fine. I took the critical clone i had out of the tent the stems were like wood new growth was ok but the cookies are going in the other Airpot, i put the clone outside in a pot with a cover over it if it rains if i can get it to grow in the pot im gonna find a quiet place somewhere and try a guerilla grow.
been watering everyday (minus the 2 i was sleeping) my water is now 6.0ph that im watering the soil meter still says soil ph is 7.0.
Q ) will watering at 6.0 eventually change the soil PH ?

ok so ive been super busy at work and haven't had chance to sitg and do pic transfer
been almost 3 weeks since i last posted been. the Gorilla started to flower very quickly and caught me off guard the royal cookie is doing great still vegging and lst is going very well no problems at all with the cookies. My best m8 gave me a seed said it was in a G13 reup he recently. im just calling it bag seed as im not 100% on its origin needless to say it is doing spectacular its now 2 weeks old im keeping it in the small pot until the royal gorilla is done was gonna but another airpot, but will just wait the speed the gorilla is going through the stages is crazy (i am a noob so it could be normal). my water is ph6.5 with biobizz biogrow 1ml per 1litre in the cookie still, ive moved on to using biobloom 1mil per 1litre for the gorilla now.
As im still experimenting i used the Royal Queen Seeds Easy Boost Organic Nutrition pellets just to experiment and im well chuffed with it i did crush up the pellets and layered it about 5cm under the surface so when i water it will wash through layer in theory{in my brain i see it working }
