Hello and welcome to my grow journal! This journal has 2 super Skunk autoflowers that were popped around 2nd of April. There were 4, but it was my first grow and they were stunted pretty badly. Rather then possibly ruining 4 other seeds (to growing pains), I decided to pop two auto blueberries (around April 22), and kept two of the Super skunks alive.
Spring weather arrived and threw a wrench into my ventilation, so after much cursing i decided to toss my portable AC into the cabinet and just focus on my blueberries, I was able to keep one super Skunk in the 6 inch nettie cup, but the other went into a mason jar (kratky style as a fuck it let's see what happens). Things were finally starting to steady out temp and humidity wise when I went to lower my cheapo LED light when it died on me....serves me right getting a cheap one used. So with my stretched budget I went to Amazon, as with Covid lockdowns it was the quickest cheapest route. So I ordered a MH/HPS 400W with a vented hood, and put my plants on life support with two little T5s to keep 'em alive. So they stayed about a week under the T5s while I waited on my new light.
So after playing around with my new light, I found when the MH is dimmed down to 250W, temps are pretty easy to maintain, so yes, this will effect yield and I need my medication but at this point one less thing to worry about is worth it. Besides, when time is right I can turn it up...maybe lol.
Tonight I took out my lux meter and repositioned the light to get a min of 15k of lux minimal to each plant.
So here the details of where everything is at, and hopefully this will finally start going smoothly and successfully!

Super Skunk auto, along for the ride, she got badly stunted.
This super Skunk autoflower spent some time in a Mason jar kratky style...it almost died before being put back in, also just along for the ride. My nutes will all be focused the blueberries.
Threw this pic in for fun, this was the T5 life support with the AC sitting in the cabinet. You can see the one super Skunk in a mason jar.
I'm not a handy or able bodied builder, so it's a source of pride for me (especially that it hasn't fallen apart 
)
