I'll put what pictures I've taken up in a bit, I haven't just started this grow, but I felt I should share my first experience anyway.
Afghan Kush Ryder at day 50 today
2 gallon pot with roots organic original, added dolomite lime, no perlite.
Growlab gl40 tent, Mars 300 with the 5w diodes, 190 cfm exhaust with 4x12 phresh filter, and a small 4" clip fan for ventilation and temp control. Fed the fox farm trio, calmag plus, and molasses, in faucet filtered water.

Mistakes I've made this first time around,
A combination of heat stress, over watering, and giving bloom nutes had stunted growth and bud development, and my height restriction didn't help with the led burning the tops a bit, I tried a little lst early and it proved to bush the plant out vs getting too tall. The over watering gave me some pretty bad fungus gnats, till care of them finally in mid flower with mosquito dunks.

I've given a little too much tiger bloom, the leaves are showing it, so it's on straight water now, trichomes are a little over half milky, the rest clear, I'm assuming this one will be ready on or before day 70, the buds are starting to get dense, but not really filling up much more, still quite a few white pistils, so maybe I'll see some more fattening up by then, let me know what you guys think.

Stubbled across your thread here and this is almost identical to my first indoor auto grow in the mistakes made. Besides a couple mistakes though plant looks pretty good overall. First thing I'd change would be add perilite. Perilites a weed growers best friend lol.Exspecially if you have a tendency to over water. And I started with the fox farm trio and them nutes are super concentrated. I never gave more than 1/4 rec dose and still burned.Not very autoflower friendly. Far as the heat stress goes I think it's more light stress than heat. I did the same thing and still do from time to time. These led lights have diffrent rules than old hps like the old hand heat check. It's best the start high and lower than to stress them and then back off. And with the trichomes I know your prolly reading and looking at countless forums on trichomes and potency but try not to put a clock on her. Wait till you get your density and then look at trichomes. I very rarely have autos finish under 85 days usually around 100 days. I wait till all the white pistols are gone and then look at trichomes. The biggest mistake made with autos is harvesting early. But overall dude your doing great man we all did these things. Keep on growing.
