Grow Timeline (10 updates)
03.26.2025
- 1 teaspoon = ~5ml, 5/3=1.5 -- FF advises 1/3rd dose for autos, so that is what I will be following.
- 9ml big bloom
- 6ml grow big
- 6ml tiger
- 6ml calmag
- molasses
^<mixed into 2 gallons water>^
- Ph tested at 6.8
- Dr Earth Flower Girl ammendment added as top dressing on all four plants, 1tbsp per plant.
- all four plants fed 1/2 gallon of water.
- RH climbing still, at 41% now.
- VPD parameters set on Cloudforge - .1% target to keep the humidifier fighting.
- VPD sitting at around 2. Hoping this corrects itself as RH continues to increase.
- photos tomorrow for results
[36 days to harvest]
May be locked out. Will be flushing with just water if things don't turn around.
VPD still all over the place.. not sure how happy I am with the Cloudforge T3. Readings are at anywhere from 1.5 - 2.0.
- RH has climbed to around 55%.
- humidifier is fighting at all times to keep RH up, tent doesn't seem to hold it well.
- temps are at 80F.
Top dressing and nute correction seems to be working like a charm.
Cloudforge T3 is working enough - RH is around 55%. VPD still struggles around 2 - can't seem to get this value to budge.
I'll push some bloom nutes if I think they can handle it in a weeks time. Aside from that, I'll just be giving them water. Nitrogen and Magnesium should be gradually corrected from the top dressing paired with last dose of CalMag.

- .5ml armor si silica
- 3ml cal mag
- 6ml big bloom
- 2ml grow big
- 1ml tiger bloom
- 15ml molasses
- RH is 80%
- VPD is 1.2
Reconfigured the inline fan to an outside-of-tent setup. This made headroom for the light to move up.. because Space Dandy Candy will not stop climbing. Crazy little fella.
Upon moving the fan, VPD was instantly improved with readings at 1.2 kPa.

why aren’t you giving them more flowering nutes? they look hungry for some more cal mag too
cut out grow big, slowly increse tiger bloom to 5ml then to 10ml per gal, increase calmag to 5ml per gal, cut out silica, get somthing with high K value for weeks 4.5 thru 6.
I am worried about frying them with tiger so I was tip toeing. Will push more at next feed. I'll stop silica and increase calmag as well and see how it goes. thank you!
the feed charts online call for 15ml or something. 1-3tsp
per gallon, but their email advisory on using that chart for autos is to cut dosage by 1/3rd. so each dose of 15ml would be revised to 5ml following the provided logic from Fox Farm. it's my first time running autos so I've been more worried about burning them to a stall than anything.
I ramp mine to the point that just the tips are starting to get burnt. dial back just a bit and keep at it. but auto are so ficky anything to cause stunted growth can cost you a lot
I've seen that play out to a degree already. These plants got neglected a couple of times now due to health complications on my end, and the stunt in growth now that they're mid flower is pretty obvious. I'm hoping for a better run start to finish on the next go. With Spring finally opening up too, I'll be tossing some autos outside as well to see how they hold up in the garden. I will continue to grow photos in tandem, but I was advised I would yield more medicine for myself where I live if I just ran autos all year. I also have all of those soluble supplements from FF that I use on photos. I've been tempted to try dosing them for the autos, but the doses would be so small it wouldn't be easy to measure. Also, they run super hot.
04.11.25
- 6ml cal mag
- 6ml big bloom
- 3ml tiger bloom
- .5ml beastie bloomz
- 15ml molasses
- RH is 78%
- VPD is 1.28
Cut out Grow Big and Amor Si. Added in Beastie Bloomz and upped the Tiger dosage.
[18 days until harvest]*
[[looking like I may push these an extra week or so]]
04.14.2025
- 6ml calmag
- 6ml big bloom
- 3ml tiger bloom
- .5ml cha ching
- 15ml molasses
- RH 71%
- VPD 1.4
Plants were neglected due to hospitalization. I am out now and back to caring for the plants. Not expecting much from these at this point, but I am glad I got them this far.
glad ur home. #1 is u. get well soon
thank you Paulie 🙏 glad to be home
04.18.2025
- 4L water - Ph is 7.1
- dry leaves removed
Leaving for a week. Light raised to decrease heat. Light intensity turned down to decrease heat. Humidifier has been removed. Gradually saturating the soil tonight and tomorrow afternoon in the hopes that it will be enough to carry these ladies until I get home. I will push another light watering tomorrow, and may mist the tent walls depending on RH readings at that time.
Considering dropping an aqua globe in each pot for gradual saturation.
[7 days until harvest]
really only 7 more days? look like they maybe got 2 more weeks but idk. still see mostly white pistils
buds look like they can definitely fill out a lot more I'd wait longer then a week but that's me personally
yeah I agree with that. reason I'm leaning towards 7 more realistically is that they will dry out while I am away this week. not sure if they would bounce back from a week of neglect at this point, especially being autos.
looking a little nitrogen or magnesium deficient
looking a little nitrogen or magnesium deficient
thank you 🙏
finally turning around
