How we looking?

Day 55, Bent Spoon Auto.
First grow, ignore the nets, next grow I will use them properly 🤣
Started in Ocean Forest, Fox Farm. Had ph issues at first, now using RO water with Lotus nutrients every other feeding (once a week), and I've been adding Cal/Mag every feeding. Ph balanced at 6.2 (was doing 5.8). On a 18/6 light cycle full brightness.
Learned about VPD around 1 month, now keep that in track and I'm balanced going off the chart and my leaf temp.

Any suggestions welcome! Not sure if this part is a waiting period or if I should be doing anything different!

For curing I plan to do 65/60 hung in a tent. Curious, with where I live my tent AC will be running often, should I also have an oscillating fan running 24/7??

Outdoor, pest preventative/maintenance

Hey everyone! Got a plant moved outside, it got to big/tall in veg than I wanted before the auto is finishing up, so decided to put it in the garden and get other beans going. Noob problems 😅
It'll be organic start to finish (fox farm ocean forest soil) in a 5 gallon pot. Hand watered with RO water and lotus nutrients. Ph balanced to 6.

Curious what everyone uses for pest maintenance? I think I've seen some use a hand squeeze bottle of liquid.. maybe it was neem? Also years ago I remember seeing someone spray the plant with a powder of some sort, drenched it... I think for mites?

Any advice before I go down the rabbit hole on google would be appreciated! I deal with all the insects here, and currently working on a mice that keeps eating my strawberries and chili's starters 🫠
My climate is 10b. I'm on the edge of a wine/desert valley in SoCal, it's dry and gets hot, but we cool off in the nights. I'll use sun shade if needed (it's retractable).

Thanks 🙏

Hi everyone,
First time growing. This auto bent spoon is at day 48, started in fox farm ocean forest and learned quick about adjusting ph (lower leaves were locked out or deficient). Since then everything been going smoothly I think. Watering every other day with 5.8ph water, add lotus nutrients every other feeding. Tents temp and rh in first photo. Thinking maybe a little warm?Thanks 🙏

First timer, bent spoon autoflower. I topped it, not sure that was the best decision for an auto, learned that later... anyways how is this netting? I'm clueless if I did it correctly or not. Watched a couple videos but still don't feel the most confident I did it correctly.
