CrescendO AUTO

emeraldlabs Tried to start 2 AUTO plants for a quick turnaround compared with the photos. One sprouted beautifully and the other shot it’s root out of the soil, despite being placed correctly, and never recovered. So in addition to this AUTO, I’ll have a journal starting next week for a Banana Hammock AUTO. Will include measurements starting in a few weeks. Photos taken 7 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Progressing, but damn I find that time moves slower when getting up and running. Went to tent sometime early in week and she had been knocked over, but adapted well. Added a bit more medium to cover the part of stem which was parallel to medium. No harm, no foul. Will include measurements starting next week. Photos taken 14 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs All is going well. Started LST this week. She is starting to shoot pistils out. Looking forward to the progress in the week to come. Photos taken 21 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Transitioning into flower. A great week of LST. Excited for her to progress and start stinking up the tent. Photos taken 28 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs She’s looking pretty. Light LST. Haven’t fed yet, but will check runoff EC next watering to see where we are at with things. Photos taken 35 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Everything is going well! She started looking a little hungry this week, so feeding has begun. Will slowly increase nute concentration. Photos taken 42 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Moving along! She’s a bit hungry, but I’ve been feeding her more and will continue to do so. Starting to smell good. Photos taken 49 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs She’s getting chonky. Still showing some signs of being hungry; recent experience with my ELB diary says the run-off may be high. Will be watering with lower pH but I think we will be good to go. Photos taken 56 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Fat and smelly. Was correct on a slightly higher than desired pH; feeding with lower pH has quickly fixed that. Still hungry and getting fed more, but only 1-2 weeks left so I think we will make it. Photos taken 63 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs The end is near! Will let her go another week or so. Enjoying her smell and watching her fatten up. Photos taken 70 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs The final countdown! She will likely be cut before the end of next week. Will update on chop day. Photos taken 77 days after breaking soil. Update: chop chop on day 81 (7/27/21). Harvest update coming in 4-6 weeks.

emeraldlabs Grow cycle was as expected, ran the full expected time. Stunted growth kind of ruined the experience, but I learned my lessons and will run her again at a future date.
