Rock of my soul

Good day, residents of grow diaries. I wanted to grow indica for an exclusively evening pastime in a chair, so the task was to find something autoflowering and without sativa. And the choice was made in favor of genetics, which I loved from my first grow-Northern Lights, crossed with no less famous parents. Also this time I will test a new lamp and a technique for using far red (720-740 nm). In fact, as always, I start my diary by the end of the growing season...

In the second week, problems with calcium began, which I did not expect, because Gorilla Cookies in similar conditions did not show any dissatisfaction. But I did not notice it immediately, so I did not increase the Ca immediately and the leaves were affected

From the third week, watering every day. At that time, I didn't realize that the plant was deficient in Ca. Started LST. FR clearly stretches the plants, but I was aware of this effect

At this week, I brought the dimmer to 100% power. Began to struggle with a lack of calcium. This plant is clearly different from my previous auto. First use of delta-9 on the sheet

The growth continues, the pre-flowering begins. The appetite increases every 3-4 days The roots broke through the pot - a fairly long vegetation and mycorrhiza did their job 💪 To eliminate calcium deficiency, I add CalMag every day

Finally, I caught up with the pages of the diary that I had missed due to work. The first half of the week continued to give Sensi Grow, changing in the second half to Sensi Bloom. Given the lack of horizontal space and problems with the passage of air in the box, I carried out a serious defoliation. I removed most of the fan leaves, reduced the lamp power by 30%, turned off the fan, turned on the humidifier. The next day, I returned the full power of the lamp. According to the TDS-meter, everything is fine and this plant is really a real Rock Machine 👊

Rock Machine never ceases to amaze me. Quickly overgrown with foliage and raised the humidity to 60%, absorbing more food and water every day. I raised the lamp higher, as the tops were already beginning to hint at discomfort. Almost no smell, only if you touch or specially sniff. The smell is a classic with a bitterness

For a while, the lamp was too close to the plant and singed it 😓 Compared to my previous QB, the UHE light output is clearly more powerful. Buds are starting to take on familiar shapes 😋

The week started with the second (and last) defoliation. Everything is going well. Only the burnt tops spoil the visual satisfaction. Well, okay, now I know the critical height of the lamp above the plant in my own conditions and next time I will not make a mistake. The Rock Machine, in turn, does not believe that it has any problems and continues to gain mass 💪 One of the branches tilted dangerously when the tent was open, and I tied it to the other. In the city, it rains all week, the humidity is on average 65%, I hope it will be warmer and drier closer to harvest.

The heat came to the city - the humidity finally fell, but the temperature increased. Therefore, I have long found a convenient time for myself: The light day of the plant begins at 17: 00 and ends at 11: 00. So when it's hot outside, the plant has a night and a comfortable temperature.👌 The structure is clearly different from my previous plant. Rock Machine clearly decided to follow the path of the mass of inflorescences, not their number. This beauty will gain weight for another month, and the branches are already beginning to lean sideways from the size of the inflorescences. This path must be passed without losing fighters, so garters and supports are used. Row Row Fight the Power! 💪

Heat, heat, heat. Which I can't do anything about. Alas, we all suffer together. It's good that when it's day outside, it's night inside the growtent. Otherwise, the temperature inside the could have exceeded all reasonable limits. Now at the peak of 33 (on average 30-31), it is unpleasant, but tolerable. The appetite of the Machine is already sagging, just since the middle of the week I started using Overdrive. There are no photos for the last two days, I was on the road ( made a simple automatic watering-a 12 V pump (1.5 L / min) and a timer-socket set for 2 minutes of work. The solution for irrigation is in a separate tank for 10 Liters in which the aerator was thrown. I rarely use this invention, if I am at home, I prefer manual watering. Every 2-3 days I continue to tie up all the new buds. Damn it, I'm waiting for the end of this cycle not only for the sake of wanting to taste her taste, but now I'm just wondering how it will all end. Still, there are still 3 weeks of life, two of which are Overdrive, and one is Flawless Finish. Rock into your soul, friends ✊

We continue our way to the finish line. There are two weeks left. The smell is bitterness, hashish, a little sweetness and (if you touch the trichomes) - a clear smell of wood. Everything is as according to the passport of the strain.👍 I examined the trichomes-given the number of amber trichomes on the tops, the evening potential of the Rock Machine should be fully revealed by the time of harvest 🤙

The finish line is already close, a harvest is planned for next Friday. This week, the Machine has already been switched to dietary nutrition. From the 90th day, the watering of Flawless Finish began. I'm full of expectations, but I'm a little afraid of mold (although the fan for blowing is working 24/7, and the humidity has not gone beyond 55% in the last two weeks). Most likely, the next update will be already during the harvest, and the final weight after drying will be in another week.

Well, this is the last week of the plant's life. During this period, there was a flushing of Flawless Finish, which took 6 days. The buds no longer swell, but simply ripen. Ah, the expectation can be stronger only during the germination of a new plant from the substrate.

This time it turned out to be simple, genetics did not disappoint (thanks to Dr. Choice), and the rest depended only on me. And apparently this time my previous record will be broken. But I can't say this with certainty yet, since at least a week of drying is needed. Therefore, some columns will be filled in after a week (weight, taste, sensations). I don't weigh raw weight, so wait for a dry result already. For those who are not interested in weight-see you in the next reports. Wait for the next diary - I plan to fit a photoperiod sativa into this box. That's the end of this report. 8 days of drying and finishing to the ideal with Integra Boost 62%. The final weight was 220 g or 2 g / W (55.3 g - bottom and middle, everything else - "rockets"). In the header of the diary, the lamp power is indicated incorrectly, because white and red diodes account for 110 watts, and 16 watts is the far red, which works only in the mornings and evenings. Thank you very much to Doctor Choice for the excellent genetics.
