Mephisto 3BOG and Cosmic Queen Auto - Grow Diary

I typically do very little to autos other than trim out the peach fuzz at the base. I do a progressive harvest instead of topping or LST. I have plenty of light power, so penetration is never an issue. I'm expecting at least 1/2 LB from these in 11 weeks. Both seeds broke soil 15 days ago. I'm just using the blue light on a Platinum P300 for now. I'll put them both under the 400 watt cobb in a day or 2. I do 1/2 dose Gobox with every watering. I water every single day but only a little at a time. I generally transplant autos at day 7 from seed. They get first nutes at day 15. I use water directly from the tap. I don't bother altering PH or filtering it. i have never seen a transplant slow down an auto. If anything I believe it benefits from it.

Mephisto 3BOG and Cosmic Queen

FFOF - bottom half
Biobizz Lite Mix - top half (also used in starter pot)

Lighting:

Gobox
5 gallon fabric pots

Light cycle:

Thanks. I leave them alone for 24 hrs. I think its very important not to handle auto seeds during this time. Just make sure they have plenty of moisture. Putting them on top of the refrigerator seems to be the perfect temp.

6 weeks from seed. The Cosmic Queen was a little sickly, and looked like some deficiencies were starting to happen 7 days ago, so I gave her a good flush. I let them both dry out for 4 days and then I gave them 3/4 strength Gobox nutes. They both transformed as a result. The 3BOG is currently 42" and the Cosmic Queen is 33". 3BOG has the strongest smell so far. I find that if I keep them as green as I can for as long as I can, then the end product is always better.

9 weeks in. Full dose of Gobox nutes with every watering. Plenty of light penetration. I'll harvest the top half of each plant at 11 weeks then the rest at 13. I had the flash on for the 3BOG 9 weeks photo. The rest were without the flash.

10 1/2 weeks from seed and the top half of the 3BOG is done. The lower half will remain under the lights for at least another week and will pack on a lot of weight during that time. the Cosmic Queen is still packing on more growth and probably has another 2 weeks to go. I expect to yield between 4 and 5 ozs from this 3BOG.
