Here's about half of my beefsteak tomatoes, the slugs have been horrible this year here so I've been taking them a little early and letting them finish up in the kitchen. Making spaghetti and marinara sauces, made 2 qts of Salsa and froze them. Next will be carrots and more green beans.

Hopefully these girls bounce back quickly in more soil. Topped off everything with an all around organic mix of goodness and watered in. i shut the lights off for the next 6 hours. They had a slight transplant shock and I never checked on them lol.ill raise the lights and dial any down that can be dialed down. 2 plants in this whole bed this run.

The last few days have been very optimal for growth. The roots are firmly planted and this Sunday marks week 2 of transplanted. Flipping Sunday ill chop allt of side branches off and lollipop the branches. Photoperiod for the win 🏆

it's week 4 of flower, 5 from flipping. I haven't done a single thing this run this is actually my first time checking in on these at all. The blumat soaker hose kit has been functioning dialed all the way down to minimal setting and it seems to work beautifully.

Cleaned the ventilation up and took the air conditioner apart. It's currently 58°f outside so I can pump in cool crisp air for free for the remainder of the seasons. I use a fancy 99.9 hepa filter for my intake to filter outdoor air. This will knock off a few extra dollars off the electric bill. Today is week 5 of flower, 6 from flipping the room. Pics incoming.

Autos were fun but i think I'll be sticking with photos for the future. Maybe outdoors for autos.
I was just gonna say... thanks for the run with them autos, I was done with them myself until I saw your grows here. I tried to mimic your grow style to the T except for the lighting, to warm here in the desert for halide lighting. I'm having my best luck with autos (so far) utilising a 4x2 bed with blumats. Thanks for the inspiration.

Looking beautiful man! Looks like your on the right track too! It takes a few cycles to really get the soil moving a d all thr insects, bacteria, fungi etc to colonize the medium. Really looking forward to see your harvest. And fyi if you already have heat led is plenty sufficient enough. Here in the mountains i mainly use the ceramic metal halide fixtures for heat. Keep me posted on those autos!
