My seed germinated without issue and the plant is looking good so far. I've only used root boosting nutes so far combined with beneficial mychorhizae for overall root vigour and health. The grow will be in an autopot xl system using coco and perlite mix. Looking forward to seeing how this one performs .exciting times ahead 😄

My Watermelon auto is growing nicely, everything looking good so far. All conditions and parameters good. I'd like to increase co2 level coming into the next week of growth maybe to around 600-800 ppm to start.. I haven't decided yet wheather to rig up a cylinder or use fermentation or maybe both 🤔 I've had success with both methods before

The plant has really taken off and is growing very fast and vigorously. I added a few Tnb Co2 bottles to boost Co2 a bit more ... ill add a couple more as the weeks go by . There has been no problems at all so far .. Next week I'll start low stress training.

Growing very stocky and dense with huge fan leaves. I've started a small bit of lst but I don't think I'll need to do much to keep this one short and bushy.

Shes growing well but has gone a bit yellow , I suspect magnesium deficiency, I've added a bit of calmag to the mix which I hope helps . Its just starting to flower too so I hope it greens back up

This is really bouncing back after a suspected magnesium deficiency. Flowering like crazy and looking good , this is going to be a fairly heavy yielded by the look of it . I'm going to remove some of the lower discoloured leaves this week and introduce a bloom booster to help it along.

Flowering quite vigorously and turning a beautiful bright purple colour. Very little stretch so its stayed low and bushy but thats ok. I've added Sumo boost to the nutrient line up to give it an extra kick

Looks great , smells great .. like sweet watermelon. Another couple of weeks left I think 🤔. Some thrips in the garden but they don't seem to be affecting this plant at all. I put up sticky traps and have sprayed with a food safe pesticide anyway .

Happy Harvest Day!

I can't get over the flavour of this stuff , its fruity but not like other fruity strains I've had ..it really does taste like watermelon. Very unique I would say . The bud has a nice subtle purple hues to it , very nice bag apeal. I would say the growth pattern was very much indica , bushy and compact with solid buds . The effect from the smoke is quite a heavy stone which is very relaxing and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to making some edibles from the trim . I would certainly recommend this strain for anyone looking for an easy to grow auto.

Overall very easy to grow . Short bushy and hungry . It required very little lst to keep it compact and bushy . If I was growing it again I would feed a bit more . Other than that it was a pleasure to grow and ill probably grow it again at some point.
