New Grower First Indoor Grow - DP Autofrisian Dew

[Joegvz]

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to take some time to share my first indoor auto grow and get any tips to better future grows.

Set Up:
iPower 32x32x63 grow tent
Apollo Horticulture 6” 390cfm fan
iPower 6” air carbon filter
2x 450w Viparspectra Reflector Series LED
ExHale Co2 Bag
Growsun 5gal fabric pots
Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil (perlite added)
Botanicare Nutes (Pure Blend Pro Grow, Bloom Soil Formula and Cal-Mag Plus)
HM digital PH Meter

Germination: Paper Towel Method then directly into final pot

Sprouted: 10/18/17

Temps: 70-75 (a couple issues with heat early on reaching 82)

PH: 6.3-6.9

Humidity: 25-45 (arid here so hard to keep up)

Grow method: Soil w/ LST

Learnings: Autos are extremely sensitive to nutes and burn quickly. PH every time, made mistake early on and lock out caused some ugly leaves (fixed quickly). Do not make multiple changes at once like switching from grow to bloom nutes and lowering LED on same day (more ugly leaf spots).

Update: Day 70 and trichomes are clear to milky but no amber yet. Been flushing for last 7 days

82 is no problem for an auto, so don't worry about that temp too much. Enjoy your yield.

Thank you so much. I was worried about temps but glad to know they can tolerate a little heat.

I grow in a constant 82-85 and they do excellent

Thank you! It was definitely a learning experience and hopefully the next one runs even better.

Question: I have been flushing for about 8 days and the upper leaves are all turning yellow but lower ones are still pretty green. This also goes for the lower portion of each bud. Should I begin to remove leaves to allow more light to reach bottom for the last week?
