Let's just SET it & FORGET it, to see what happens

[Weed Pharma]

I'm looking at 10 years on GrowWeedEasy and my original goal (2016) was -

"On a quest making it less complicated/expensive, as far as, the work/reward ratio."

The Set up:

strain: Tangie Auto - Fast buds via Seedsman (2025).

STONINGTON BLEND (bottom 1/2) with Roots Organic Original mixed in and top layer (1/3).
direct plant method (signature germbag) into 5 gallon vivosun fabric pot. (3 seeds)


TAP water- as needed- leave out for 2 days before use
Light nutrients (liquid) -watered in weekly- as/if appropriate

lights: Optic 1XL and RapidLED 100w in the tent (height @ 33" above the container surface).

4x2x6 tent : seed planted 3/14/2026

Medical Cannabis Patient with mobility issues and the weight of the containers, etc. is becoming an issue for this 73 year old.

If I can complete a grow with out moving the plants/lights etc.- it will be helpful going forward.


A culmination/continuation of previous grows, that began in 2021:

I will upload a pic once the seeds emerge and @ various stages of this grow.

Wow, 10 year veteran of the forum! 🏆

What are some big lessons in growing weed, between all your grows and all the grows you've seen here?

[Weed Pharma]

Don't tend your garden stoned, lol
Less is more.

[MeowMeow]

Hahaha so true

[golfnrl]

Congrats on a decade on the forum. That's sage advice about gardening while stoned. And less is more. I believe pharming is/has been an evolution. Starting out quantity seemed to be the way to go. Now quality over quantity is the goal.

St. Patrick's Day saw a little green- all (3) emerged and look healthy.



Next post likely in 3 weeks- when it's topping time.

First issue- I usually rotate my plants, but not this time.

Plant #1 closest to fans at soil top level, not doing as well. Darker Green, bending stem etc. (likely from direct fan)- transpiring more= more nutrients absorbed.


Plant #2 doing well leaning towards RapidLED light (over Plant #3)-good structure at day # 10 above ground.


Plant #3 slight taco, but otherwise growing near perfect.


Actions taken-

Shut off soil level fans and started whole tent fan- located at top of tent on low.

Moved the OpticXL (over plant #1) down @31" -as it is not as strong as RapidLED @33".

READ the PLANTS- not a schedule!

[Weed Pharma]

Topping Time- Plants #2&3 ready;
Plant #1 was not ready-(may end up a FIM- not much room to work with)-done

Plant #1 recovered in about 2 days from first issue- and continues to lag development by about the same.

Days are usually lost forever with autoflowers as there is little room for error with such a short veg time.


Plants #2 & 3- look good with #3 outstanding.




I top dressed with Stonnington Blend with Mykos mixed in.

They are ahead of what I expect by about 5-7days and seem to be shorter than I recall.
If that continues - the lights will have to be dropped for flower, but I won't know until the stretch ends.
Initial light height @33 was based on TangiMatic grows.

Previous grows were TangiMatic by FastBuds- these are Tangi Auto by Fastbuds.

Stretch should begin in 7-10 days and last the same amount of time.

All plants are looking healthy in color and structure.

Watering is about every 2-3 days, with increasing volume at each time.
Low dose of cal/mag given with each pHed @ 6.2, watering- (previous cal/mag issue with Roots Original)

Will post towards the end of stretch @ about 3 weeks.

Plants look beautiful like a painting.

Also, this is the best MacGyver DIY watering system I've ever seen. That looks really convenient.

[Weed Pharma]

Thanks, the tent is on a 2ft high table- which allows me to water/work plants, without bending down- preserving my back, etc.
*simple but effective watering*
(they exploded with growth right after topping)

I getting what you mean Weed Pharma i'm nearing the big 70 this year.

That was quick - Lolipop and light defoliation. All plants have remained in the their original locations- not needed to move them.
Drinking well- just added a little Bloom, but not sure it was required.

The stretch is likely done and 2 plants are just right for the set light hight @ 33"- with the middle plant (#2) looking the most productive, having overlap lighting.


I will continue weekly Cal/mag and bloom nutrients along with a dose of micronutrients in 2 weeks.

This grow was noticably not stressed at all (except the early fan issue on runty plant #1).

All that is left is - the waiting for the buds to form/mature.

With Autoflowers its all about having an uneventful vegative stage- and looks like that has been the case @35 days topside = 5 weeks into the grow.
