4/21/21.
I'm starting this diary 52 days from sprout. Just jumped on GD last week, great site!
These two beans were sown at the same time, 2/24/21. This is are my first Auto grow. I,ve worked primarily with clones. I had a White Russian mother for close to 4 years.
This White Russian Auto started flower at about 30 days. She beefed up as much as she streched. Didn't do any LST or topping, at about 16" now. I love the structure of this girl, just like the original. She is fast. Almost 3 weeks faster to flower than the Green Crack Auto under under the same conditions.
I followed the Earth Juice 5 part feeding chart after about 3 weeks, at 50%. GC wanted more N right away, I'm up to the 150% of suggested N and she's just greening up now. WR is a lighter feeder.
GC was LST'd around week 3, this is when I ran into a PH problem. Run off was down around 5. I used dolimite lime and Recharge microbes to raise the PH, now between 6 and 6.5. This combo seems to work well to to keep the PH in range.
4/22/21. Day 53
I got a good look at WR today. Took some fan leaves, maybe a dozen. More light to the flowers now. Some of the stems were pretty sticky so I grabbed the scope and found cloudy trichs. The flowers are showing milky as well. Happy day! I'll be starting the flush now, water only, Maybe some Recharge.
GC got another hot dose of N with her fower nutes last night and picked up some green on the tops. She's eating up everything I give her. Half gallon soaked up over night in a 3 gallon pot. I'm thinkin 5 gallons next time. She looks tired at the end of her day, droopy on the top end. I switched the lights from 18 to 16 by moving the off time up an hour and the on time back an hour. Curious to see how she reacts. This will also benefit the other two girls in the tent. Their getting ready to finish anyway.
