Budget no-till grow - Update pics

Wow now thinking about it its realy amazing that I even got this far. I'm actually gonna harvest my first plants very soon, thats still shocking to me. Also I'm excited about growing probably only one FastBuds GSC under my new lights. I will start germinating her as soon as I build my light. Waiting for driver to arrive. Its gonna be crazy next run. I will put my new light in this tent, which is gonna be my flowering tent. And I'm gonna put my current light over new GSC. Its gonna be my veg light in another tent. I bought some frame thats left over from fabric gardrobe thing. That black tubes I tie my wires and stuff to lst you can see on photos. I can build something like 1.5x1.5 tent with them, got bunch of tubes. I will build my veg tent with those and something reflective. I'm thinking about vegging her atleast for couple weeks in a smaller pot, since my cxb3590 is 3500K it will help vegging.

congratulations GC! nothing like that first plant... and let me tell you, yours looks way better than my first plant haha. you've done well. you still have a lot of weight to gain. expect a good swell over the next one to two weeks.

Yeah looking at other dudes grow, they really start to swell up after their 10th week. So just like you said, one to two weaks.
 
By the way I even pruned some lower flowers, I had to. There was literally buds sitting on top of buds thats sitting on buds. Just frosted into eachother. So I removed some of very lower flowers from some branches. Now nothing touches to one another. I'm smoking on them right now and even though they are not ready and I dried them on stove. I still have to smoke the joint in 4 parts, its too damn strong. Thumbs up to that.

Got couple kool pics from day 64, which is today. Too lazy to pick better looking ones, so I'm just posting all of them. Peep in to my miniature jungle.

If you shower in the bathroom you removed the fan from, I'd work on getting a replacement so you don't get mold in there.

I haven't grown autos a few years, but when i ran high N into the first couple weeks flower it really pumped them up, but they went a couple weeks, plus, longer then advertised. Was well worth it, IMO. Also, I seem to remember something about autos liking deeper pots, something to do with the tap root hitting bottom inducing flowering, deeper pot equals longer veg, supposedly.

I keep the door open after I shower so moisture doesn't build up. I will get some strong pc fans whenever I go to the city so I can put the fart-fan back.

I'm growing balls deep organic so its not that easy for me to add specific element in specific time. But I just top dressed my soil an hour ago with little bit of BioBizz Pre-Mix which should have some kind of fast release nitrogen in it. Thats my first grow so I don't know that much about when to make inputs, and what inputs to make so I'm kinda letting them go for this time.

Mine started flowering when they were fairly short, especially the third one which is turning into one big ball of flower. I just pruned tons of flowers and couple branches from that one. If I had to guess I would say I overwatered them first few weeks so that resulted into poor root growth maybe? And my soil was fresh so maybe it got compacted till fungi and bacteria started to grow and open up the soil? Bunch of variables on that subject but yeah It sounds believeable.

Thanks for looking out man, I appreciate it.

I feel like flowers are growing little slow though. I don't see any signs of deficiency on leaves. There was some tiny signs of magnesium deficiency, I added teaspoon of epsom salt to the water today. Do they look okay for 64 days of age? What can be slow flower growth caused by? Can overwatering do that? Or maybe I'm trippin too much? @WeedFreak78
 
Cool to see that I almost covered 2x2 with 3 tiny autos. All 3 of them are very different phenos growing side to side. Cool theme, but I think I could train a single plant to better canopy and save 2 seeds for later.

They look ok to me for where they are. I can see some curl /hook on some leaf ends, could be the low temps you mentioned. Flower size could be genetic, environmental or nutrient related, too many variables. They look to be on the darker green side, so it could be high N soil, which can effect flowering. But I'm just spitballing. Don't led grown plants usually end up darker green? I thought I read that somewhere. They still have at least 20 days right? Don't sweat it, maybe brew a simple tea for them a couple times. Grab a hand full of your soil, add some old leaves and bubble for 24-48 hours, it'll bolster the existing micro herd. I lay off any nutrient inputs in the last 2 weeks, but Idk your soil makeup,you might want to hit it with Epsom salt one more time, or a p/k input.
 
I have compost pile/worm bin right under my tent. This is topsoil from wild forest that no one has any input on. It's from this fall. It was more leafy and stuff but it composted to that. Smells like forest. There is bunch of worms in it, I sometimes throw some leftovers it's gone after few weeks. I sometimes even see different types of bugs and spiders in it, lol. I also have more than 100 worms in my pot/bed right now.
