This is my first time growing an auto-flower plant. I have had a little experience with some clones and photoperiods but my skills still need some work. I had ordered 5 Girl Scout Cookies Auto-flower seeds from dankseeds.org , which was my second time ordering from them and they have amazingly fast shipping and good options to pay for your product, but I had planned to have two plants going rather than just one. I had tried to germinate the rest of the seeds once the second one I had germinated did not grow, but none of popped so I was left with only one plant out of the five seeds I had ordered.
Nice and healthy growth so far. Growing in fast, only spraying down the top and maybe about a shot glass worth of water. Had another seed germinating but seems like it did not pop.
Still having nice and healthy growth. Haven't given any nutrients yet since I had well fertilized soil and only been watering when dry. Making sure I'm giving some water to the tray at the bottom of the pot so water is coming from the bottom as well for the roots for good continuous growth.
I began to do some LST, but then the stem of the plant bent a little too much, and it was not strong enough so I removed one sight where it was being held down. I'm hoping it heals and doesn't cause the plant too much stress.
This week went well, I started to feed the plant some nutrients and top dressed with some worm castings. Training is going well, I have also been tucking the big leaves so the bud sights are getting more light. I've pulled down the stems to create more of an even canopy.
As this week went on, I have noticed some pests have been eating at the leaves. I have ordered organic neem oil and plan on spraying the leaves down right before the lights turn off for the light schedule to reduce the chance of burning my plants. I had neglected the plant from some watering previously as well and I had seen some of my leaves drooping. I got back to watering them and had given a slight amount of nutrients of the grow, micro, and bloom. It's getting a little rough right before it is about to flower so I am trying to fix my problems before this stage.
Wash the plant under the shower and then, if they are still there, use masking tape to remove the insects from the leaves. Remove the more damaged leaves.
Do something decisive now or you will keep this infestation until the end of flowering! 👺
If they are in the soil, use 35% 150-volume hydrogen peroxide (the one you get at home is 3%, the one from the paint shop is better).
If you want to try (but they don't count for much) neem oil, soy oil or any oil because it mechanically blocks the breathing of the insects.
I had sprayed down my plants with neem oil right before the lights shut off so that the leaves did not get burnt. I also had removed the leaves that had been damaged. I also have added the ScrOG netting which my plants and tucked leaves which it has adjusted well to. I top dressed with some more worm castings, along with fish bone meal and Stonington blend by Coast Of Maine, I don't give too much incase nutrient burning.
I had pulled a branch down for the net and then it had snapped. I tried to bandage the part but it failed. Otherwise, grow has been going good, I haven’t seen any pests since I’ve sprayed the plant. I’ve been maintaining the canopy and spread the growth to fill the spot from the missing branch. My plant has taken over my little tent haha
So far so good, I've been training down the flexible enough stems to keep maintaining an even canopy and preventing light burn since my tent is so small.
