This week we haven't really experience anything too crazy, plant C had a little underwatering issue she got thirsty started to look pretty weak the 1st day of week 6 (for her only) she had recovered by the end of day 1 before going into the dark cycle. As the week progresses we should see some more tricome production and some more development of the bud sites. I'm hoping the underwatering that happened won't stunt or hurt the end yield too bad, that was a bad moment of laziness... whoops.
Overall I haven't had any problems yet with pests there's been a lot of gnats and spiders on the outside of the tent but nothing on the inside. For a cheap tent it's working awesome. It does have some light leakaround the zippers but this isn't a problem for me as I'm growing in a darker area already. But if this were in a bright room all the time this tent would be a bad choice.
Now as week 7 progresses we'll start seeing more rapid Bud development and see some increased tricome production. To think this girl (plant A) is just barely over halfway done is crazy. I have ended up removing the entire bottom 1/3 of the plant in the form of defoliation of the yellowed and dying leaves. People say don't defoliate Autos for shock reasons I hope it doesn't really matter.
@TragicTerps, I just updated it to week 8.. I changed to 12/12 couple nights ago ..yea there’s a couple pistils here and there..mainly on the main stem
@xTherapy_Growingx, very possible they could be photos, I just seen the pictures on your diary and it looks like it's trying to bud up and I seen some pistils on the lower branch pictures. Very curious nonetheless.
@TragicTerps, right I feel u I’m glad its taking long but confused cus I see everyone’s else’s critical purps flower on week 5..I just switched my lights to 12/12 I’m thinking I got photos here
@DoDrugs420, it was easy to manage and grow just wish the Temps wouldn't have gotten so high here it really did some damage and stressed them out. Pretty much made an auto go back to veg. Lol all is good nonetheless and I'm thankful for all the love on this grow!
Bonitas flores.
Te recomiendo subir la humedad y bajar la temperatura del sustrato.😉
En floración no es recomendable pulverizar las flores, los nutrientes también lo absorven por las hojas.
@fraankiiee, good info I have noticed the Temps spike I can't do too much at the moment as it's in the triple digits outside and it's in my garage. But I'll do my best.
im growing growers choice seeds critical purple auto, but mine are not doing as well as yours did. im at the last day of week two . any advice? please!!!
@jkeats, yeah for sure. So I would say it ultimately came down to my medium. They did really well in an organic amended medium and were left alone after training. I made sure to keep the light schedule the same as a photo period and then checked the strains preferred climate and replicated it to the best of my ability. In early veg I had the light about 22inches at 85% shooting for 560 PAR autos tend to preflower week 4 or 5 and then you'll have to control that stretch by cranking up the intensity or dropping the light down. It was important for these ladies to get adequate dark period too. Be sure to check the strains preferred flowering environment.
Outside all of this, I kept the medium at 5.6ph and watered in at 7.0 figured the balance would be 6 4 or so and I did stunt growth because of it. So if you have an acidic medium water in at a ph around 6.4 and that will do her.
Outside of that it's just a matter of trying to truly replicate nature my guy. Cheers!
