Hello Autoflower Community,
New member here. I posted some pics of my Berry Ryder in another thread. However, I did not want to hijack that thread with pictures of my plant.
So, I decided I would start a journal/blog/pictorial of my current grow.
Please follow along and provide critique or opinions, as long as everything is constructive.
About me:
I am a first time guerilla grower. I consider myself knowledgeable but inexperienced. I have much to learn, which I have discovered in only a few weeks of actual growing. I am very optimistic with this plant and hope to enjoy a quality yield. The thought of cultivating my own herb organically, with love, gives me shivers. I am doing this for the sake of connoisseurship.
My plant:
Auto Seeds Berry Ryder Feminized Autoflower from Attitude Seedbank.
Medium:
Fox Farm Ocean Forest and Perlite (about a 3 to 1 ration
to Perlite)
I am unsure of pot size. 2 gallon?
Light:
HydroGrow 21x-PRO-36W LED
http://www.hydrogrowled.com/21X-PRO---36W-LED-Grow-Light-P96C60.aspx
Fertilizers:
Fox Farm Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom
Temperature
The temperature has been constantly between 73-79 Degrees.
Humidity
This has proven a challenge. The RH has fluctuated erroneously from 20% to 65%
My next grow will be much better adjusted.
CO2
I have been using a 2 liter with sugar and yeast. I have a tube that runs behind the internal tent fan so it blows the co2 onto the plant. This appears effective although burdensome, regardless of what people say, I do not think the co2 production lasts the alleged 2 weeks. So, I ordered a "Buddy Boost" CO2 bag to place inside of my tent. It is en route and should be in the tent hopefully monday. Here's a link:

History:
I sprouted her using the paper towel method. Transferred to a Route 44 Sonic cup with medium. I will not do this again. From now on I will start her in the final pot. The reason is that, as a newb, I manhandled her did not properly traspant her at all. In hindsight, there were no reasons why I shouldn't have started her in a single pot since I am only growing one.
Next, I applied mild (heavily diluted) big bloom which showed mild signs of nutrient burn so I stopped and minor flushed with ph balanced water.
Then, after she recovered, I fucked her ph up by raising the level of my distilled water way too high around 7.1-7.3 probably. This caused, what I believe to be nutrient lock out. Either way, it appeared a necrosis had developed with the bottom 2 or 4 leaves around week 3.
So, I felt it necessary to trim multiple branches and probably7-8 bud sites. I think this DID stunt its growth. However, i feel now she has recovered and is channeling that energy to the other bud sites.
Now I feed her distilled water ph balanced around 6.5 or slightly lower with diluted Grow Big. She appears to be absolutely loving it. So I will continue on this routine except for once or twice weekly giving unfertilized ph balanced distilled water until it is time to flush and switch to TIger Bloom.
ANY FEEDBACK, GUIDANCE, HELP, SUGGESTIONS, WARNINGS, ummm ANYTHING is very welcomed as long as its productive.
Thank you for your time and if you read all of that I commend you. I wrote that primarily for my own record keeping.
Here are all of my pictures to date. I'll do a better job of organizing in the future and I plan to update daily.
As of this post, she is between 5-6 weeks old.
FYI
The Berry Ryder's name is Jodi Arias. Which was my girlfriend's idea since I didn't think she had a chance early on lol.
