Weekly Update.... It's been an interesting week. After getting the Portable A/C installed its a tight fit for the 4 girls (this tent will become a veg only tent in the near future) I initially had a hard time getting the temps down even with the A/C, but after tweaking with the intake and exhaust I believe I've gotten the environment into the low 80's even for the remaining last days of summer here. While that was going on I was taking the girls outside and giving them some of the real stuff and they responded very nicely. They are currently sitting at Day 07 and all 3 are near identical in height and leaf size which gives me hope that once they are ready to be topped they will continue to mirror one another.

As for the AK47 Fem well.... she's struggling. her lower leaves have all died but she has fresh growth at the top and I think she might actually recover. Her yield will be questionable but I'm going to let her do her thing until I harvest my Autos.

That's all for now, my next post should be right around topping time for the girls. Until then Happy Growing!

Update! I've waited a week to update you guys because I wanted to make sure my new AC'd environment would remain stable...and it has!! After installing a more accurate thermostats and controller I've realized 2 things:

1. The Accurate gauges are not accurate .

2. You can maintain 75' temps in a 100' attic.

A very happy grower here!!!

Thanks Alchemist, it's a relief to have things under control. Now I just need to top 2 of them and begin feeding them soon.

Update, the Autos are now 15 days old this morning and are looking great! I've decided that since I'm on a VERY strict finishing date for all 4 ladies I'm going to skip topping them this time around and save that for my next grow. The Solo AK47 has also rebounded nicely but with her slow start I obviously stunted her because she's at 25 days and the Auto's are already passing her!

A few questions, first it's been about 5 days since the last watering and the girls show no signs of stress..what is the longest anyone has gone between watering? The soil down deep is still moist to the touch so I'm trying to avoid a beginners mistake so any input on the issue would be much appreciated. Second, from what I understand topping adds 1-2 weeks to their finishing date, is this correct?

Hope everyone is growing well and enjoying life!

Looking good with the water Q, I normally lift the pot to see how light it is then determine if she needs it. If there's water in your soil the roots will find it. And topping....my ssa#1 went 84 days on a 56-63 days from seed, and a couple others were close to there mark
So I would say it's strain dependent. Hope it helps

First time grower here too. I'm in for the ride. Good luck.

Thanks dirt, that's what I was thinking..I need mine to be finished and cut by day 61 so topping won't work this time around, and good tip on the water I'll pick them up tonight. .

So I topped my Autos tonight! I decided that I'll just have to keep things stealthy and not worry about a finishing date based on future visitors. I'm hoping Beast will chime in on this post as this is my first time topping based on his advice on node and date. I decided to leave the AK47 alone as she's already behind schedule and just needs to do her thing under the 18/6 schedule for now.

First time topping WW Autos

Also, they all got fed tonight for the first time in a while and I went with a half dose of FF's and Calmag. I'll post in a few days on how they recover!

Till then happy growing .

It's been almost 48 hours since I topped the 3 autos and it appears they are doing well in recovery.

I've added a humidifier to the tent which also seems to be aiding in growth; leaves are straight, colors are green, and stems are getting thick AF.

Loving the added humidity!

I hope everyone has a great weekend and happy growing! .
