The Purple Lemonades are vigorous growers. The LSD 25 and Critical Autos from Dynafem are not far behind. First time using Strawberry Fields soil and so far the plants have grown surprisingly fast.
These genetics have been the most durable and easy to grow that lve done so far. Accidentally decapitated one trying to LST, and heavy defoliation, and neither seemed to slow down either plant.
After 4 full week, a very few pistols and not flowering yet. Very happy with the soil mixture l used this time. Seems to be ideal for autos. I started with 50% Strawberry Fields soil, which is supposed to be a little lower in nitrogen but have higher % of PKs. I mixed in 25% perlite and 25% worm castings.....the neuts have been perfect for veg and after first full week of flower I'll top dress them with worm castings and water with a worm tea and hopefully the strawberry fields and castings / tea finish out flower stage.........well see.
I did a heavy defoliation and fed both before the started stretching to promote as much growth as possible during this time. I think stretch and the first week or two are the two biggest determining factors when growing autos. The genetics and new Strawberry Fields Soil I'm using have been great. Havent fed since l started grow so top dressed in 1 cup of soil and 1 cup of earthworm castings to keep it that way.
They showed calcium deficiencies on a couple leaves and color of plant told me she would need more food to finish so the bigger plant got 4 tbl spoons of Dr Earth Flower Girl in a top dress......that should finish her out. I started brushing on collidal silver on a few branches of the 2nd plant so l can pollinate it back to itself. Defoliated on both plants but more on the one lm flipping with the collidal silvers so l get as many mature bud sites as possible.
