d15 - the baby is now much bigger than the cylinder used to grow in, but it is still very well lit and the koalas are growing very fast, I just have to wait a little bit for topping it, because based on my personal experience, the plant recovers faster when she has 5-6 internodes.
d16 - Maybe I was wrong and it's not as backward as I thought... it just grew differently, with very large leaves and developing side shoots very fast, the first 2 levels are already quite formed with one internode. I think I will change the trimming schedule and use these two for the main lining.
d17 - Since with the autos you have about a month to train (in total) I want to try to do the mainlining starting from 4 branches instead of 2, in this way I save 1 topping to have 8 buds. yesterday I removed two leaves on the top to promote the illumination of lateral shoots.
d18 - topped to the 3rd node leaving 4 branches, so i need only 1 more topping to get 8 buds. Not 100% sure it was a good idea, but with the uniform lighting she has while growing inside a tube hope she can grow 4 branches at once. The only thing I regret is I would have preferred to use one nodes above if she had grown faster, but at this time she already had the first 2 nodes well formed I preferred to do so! Is already a some days that I feed with 0.5EC / 5.8ph - megacrop + kemp + sio2 seems fine!
d20 - Today I'm going to move the seedling inside my small tent and under another DIY light built with cheap led taken from china, it's fine except that it is energy inefficient. The only advantage is that mounting 14x cob bridgelux of 3 different type (5x3500k,2x6000k,7xblurple) so can change the spectrum by changing leds.
d21 - today it's the first day under a 40w of light and the leaves were a bit weak after 18 hours, better to move the light away a little...
@ihatemycat, nice one!
I grew Orange Bud my last grow. Absolutely, spectacular! My favorite citrus, so far. Good medicine for ADHD, too. Dense nugs and a decent harvest. Pineapple Express next, I think.
Currently, growing Black Cream and CBD.
@Growin_it, I thought it was an interesting strain too... in addition I was looking for something fresh but different from the usual citrous taste for this summer, and this variety is really promising!
yay! stay tuned!
@ihatemycat, With a little effort (and a lot of weed) we could create the first hemp defoliator cat in history .................... How nice to smoke weed ๐๐๐ค๐ฆ
@DreamIT, you have lifted my mood, i was getting worried that my cat was an addict! Any other kind of weed he doesn't like, even the one specifically for cats! โค๏ธ my little gourmet yummy cat ๐น
Anyway i can also say that I have a cat gardener, he definitely takes care of the defoliation technique (but i'm lazy and I don't write it in my diary), anyway it is better to let it work from mid-vegetation onwards 'cos usually goes a bit heavy! ๐
@TerpyOG,
bha unfortunately not... it was a mix of events, I changed the nutrients and had to leave the plants a couple of weeks and this mess happened.
Mainly the plant has suffered during preflowering, the leaves are clawed because the nitrogen excess, i was get sizes with the nutes that are very concentrated. Now, because of the summer heat, I have to wait for September and I'm sorry because I really like the fastbuds "fruity" strains (my favorite is blackberry).... I think this summer the strawberry pie will be over soon.... ๐ญ
