It's right at around 58 at the moment. I have a 15 pint dehumidifier that will run during flowering.

4 weeks from seed. I gave the 2nd dose of nutes 2 days ago. 1/2 measure of Biothrive Grow and 1/2 measure of Cal/Mag. I'll switch to Bloom nutes next week. I also found that 20" seems to be a good distance for the lights. Any closer and the plants start to show duress.

Oct 14 – All three plants are around 28” and are starting to flower. The topped one is about 1” shorter than the other two. Smell is pretty strong. I am using Biothrive Bloom, CalMag and Bio Bud. About 60% of recommended amount. I will feed them on every other watering until 2 weeks before harvest.

I really like this strain. They are extremely resposive to watering, feeding, etc. I find that letting the pot go air light and then adding liquid causes an immediate positive response. Temps here dropped about 10 degress F. Humidity is steady at around 55 RH. I will plug the dehumidifier in soon and drop it to around 40 RH. I set it up right outside the grow space next to the passive intake. The space itself is a corner of my garage. I framed out a 9' long' x 4'wide x 10' high space that I cased in plywood. i have a 4" exhaust fan. My passive intake is a 6" x 8" merv 8 filter.

Yeah@whytewidow told me to wait till I thought they were ready for watering and do it the following day that has helped me a lot in not overwatering cuz at first I was over watering then under watering so his idea has worked a lot for me....my RH stays between 40-47 so that will have to do because my dehumidifier is not very big.. Your gorilla glue came out normal the two that I have planted both came out deformed

Autos sure seem to be sensitive to any changes so I'm being super careful...well, most of the time..I topped one that I was sure wasn't going to make it..just to see what would happen...but topping it seems to have saved it, and its only an inch shorter than the other two.
I decided to wait to where they are so thirsty they start to droop...and then I hit them with water, or water + nutes, and within a few hours they are off to the races again. I was looking at a time lapse video of an auto when I noticed a rhythmic and repetative motion of the leaves drooping then pointing up...over and over until near harvest. Letting the oxygen get to the roots seems to be crucial. It took me a while to get this but I see the difference now.

Gorilla Glue Autos 32 days from seed. The tallest is 33" and the others are within 2" of it. I wait until the leaves start to droop and the pot is airy light before I water. I started adding Biobud to the feeding regimine. I connected the carbon filter over the weekend. It has neutralized odor outside the grow room by 100% - before it was very noticable from 20' away. Temps and humidity are normal. I am ordering some Mephisto seeds from Seedsman. As soon as they arrive they will join the GG autos. Everything is nice and green. Nutes are 60% of recommended amount 2X per week.

indacouch made a very good suggestion earlier in this thread (based on yrs of doing this) when recommended FFOF with additional perlite mixed in. I might go with that next time. I like the FFOF but a little seedling in a 3 gallon container has a tough time getting oxygen. The perlite should fix that.

Yeah I had FFHF I put 2 8QT bags of perlite in it but I mixed it with coco loco also ... Coco loco isn't to bad but sucks all the cal/mag up

Thats good info. Thanks! i was actually thinking of doing something similar. I'll know to avoid it now.
I ordered a few Mephisto seeds today and a Dinafem auto. Got a bunch of freebies too. I'm excited to grow the Mephisto seeds. I've read good things about them.

Yeah I was trying to find something that had good drainage and reduces mold issues but still hold water a bit but I had no idea about the cal/mag issue

I mentioned in an earlier post that the plants seemed to droop and then respond by the leaves perking up to watering and feeding...or so I thought. I then noticed that the leaves still droop once per day...always towards the end of the day..whether the soil was bone dry or wet. So I did little reading and discovered it is something called "circadian rhythm".
This is no doubt old news for experienced growers..but for a newbie like myself i was starting to think I was doing something wrong.
