Blue Mystic Auto Fem - CFL Soil - First Grow

[zoop]

Blue Mystic Autoflower Feminized- 2 Plants
Predominantly Indica
Flowering at week 4 (3 week veg)
Closet Grow
Fox Farms Ocean Forest
2 Gal Smart Pot
(2) 42 W - 6500k, (2) 42 W- 2700K
Small Clip Fan
70 to 80 Degrees
40% RH
Watering with Distilled Water every 3 days
Fertilizing with FoxFarms Trio every other watering

Started my first grow with some blue mystic auto-flower feminized seeds from nirvana. I started the first plant "mary" in some miracle grow soil and it stalled out after popping out of the soil for about two weeks. I replanted into foxfarms ocean forest after that and also germinated another seed in case the first plant didnt survive the replanting. After the replant Mary picked right up and started growing again. At about two weeks after the transplant she started to flower. The second seed I germinated "Jane" did much better starting off in the ocean forest and eventually started getting much bigger then Mary. Jane showed pistils around 14 days after sprouting. I am at week 6 (total 3 veg, 3 flower) on Mary and week 4 (2 veg, 2 flower) on Jane.

I have been watering with distilled water once every three days. I have been using foxfarms big bloom every other watering at 1/2 s starting at week 3. I have just started add 1/2s grow big to mix as well. Each time I add calmag and molasses to the distilled water.
Past the first two weeks when Mary was in the miracle grow I have not had any real problems. It looks like the miracle grow really stunted her future growth and she hasn't grown much more then 5 inches. Tricomes have started showing up nicely on her leaves so it seems like I will atleast get a small yield off of her. Jane has been getting super busy with a bunch of colas showing up. I have been tucking the major fan leaves under to get light to the main colas. I am hoping to bring both through 9 weeks flowering before harvest.

Update- Switched to the full trio of FoxFarms Soil Ferts at 1/2 strength. Any thoughts on how much longer the smaller plant has left. It at day 47 now and most of the trichomes are cloudy, no amber yet thought, but she is getting pretty filled out? See photos below.

Took a sampling off Jane at day 50 yesterday. Quick dried in the toaster over at 110 degrees. Tasted real green, but it a was a good high. Planning to go to day 60. Starting to get some good amber tris. Did the first flush yesterday. Check the photos below and let me know what you guys are thinking.

Jane is blowing up right now. Starting to get a much stronger odor. Shes at day 41 now.

Any input on trimming back some of the fan leaves. I've heard different things reading online. It is incredibly bushy plant and there are some fan leaves way down towards the bottom that are really stretching to get out to the side. I'm thinking the plant should be spending that energy on buds instead. Appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks.

Wow, they are looking great~ Bushy ladies they are!! Not sure about defoliating the autos, but I would think it would be OK.

Looks good miracle grow does not have correct nutes for cannabis, ocean growth much different ,Jane looks good Mary suffered, may want to try tucking instead of trim I've had success with this method.
