GWK Auto (Mephisto) Starbuck 2.0

D1 (🗓️ 17 May) - slow to pop but otherwise all systems go... D4 (🗓️May 20) still a little tea pot but has shown root strength through the bottom of the jiffy pellet and has therefore been upgraded to her seedling home. D6 - (🗓️May 22) 📏1 inch 💧0.7EC | 6.1pH thankfully no signs of Lanky Larissa this time, showing her first full set of leave proudly.

SOW 3 - Day 15. 🗓️ 30May D17 (1 June) - best performing seedling so far. Leaf colour is just right and she seems low fuss. D20 (🗓️Fri June 4) roots still have yet to emerge from the pot (or I'm not looking here enough). Another day or so and will have to transplant her ! Even her younger siblings have been given the tap up. A noodle scratcher given everything else says she's the happiest of the bunch.

🗓️Week 4! D22 - (📆Sunday 6 June) 🌱✓Still the most elegant of the developing crop, finally satisfied with her root colonisation of the seedling pot. Transplant to 3.5L AirPot 💧 Fertigation @ 1.2 EC pH 5.9 🔎 Droopiness post transplant suggests coco packed too tight. Hopefully only a small shock to the system before she prays for light again. Gave some time for the coco to dry out post transplant to hopefully loosen the root structure and surrounding media. D23 (🗓️Mon 7 June) 💧Continued Fertigation at 1.2EC. •considering adjusting higher however she's been so healthy I don't want to rock the boat. Will slowly creep up towards 1.5 as we move through week 4 D24 💧1.2 | 6pH Looking healthier than ever, leaves slightly praying to the light is my favourite indicator of health. Roots already showing through the base, will need to be transplanted soon. 🔆 Has been growing under CFLs up to now (with the occasional day in the sun). 💡 trialing the evening under the 3500k 240W LED QB to see how she reacts. D25 💧1.2 EC | pH 6 💦500mL @ 10AM Leaves maybe lighter green than ideal. Will increase Fertigation frequency. D28 [📆 Sat 12 June] 💧1.4EC 6.0 pH ➰Day 1 of LST! Have just bent the main stem 90° to start. Already looks to be happy with the extra light exposure to the lower canopy. Should start seeing signs of flowering soon.

🗓️Week 5! 📑Have migrated to the LED tent as she is likely moving into her stretch phase. Still a very healthy looking girl, not fussy and is responding well to LST - she has really bushed out over the last few days. 🎪 3' x 3' x 6' 🔆LED QB 240w 3500k +💡LED Bar 50w 3500k 💨 30cm round oscillating fan +🍃 30cm tall tower fan 🏭 150mm Inline Exhaust Fan (305m³/hr) D29 [📆Sun June 13] ➰Day 2 of LST, have adjusted the tie lower already. She's grown nice and squat so far and will appreciate some light to the inner branches. D31 [📆Tues June 15] 💧1.3 EC | pH 6.0 Really liking the way she is branching out with the apical tip tied below the canopy level. Growth is ferocious and I suspect she may be starting her flowering stretch.

D⁴² 📆 June ²⁶ 🌾Really droopy this week. Might be a humidity/VPD íssue. 🌞Will try to get her out more and see if she perks up! 🌿🌿 she's also very leafy, a defoliation might help her keep hydrated and healthy.

D⁴³ 📆June ²⁷ ✂️ gave her a lightish defoliation to ease up what I think is a VPD issue. 🤞 D⁴⁸ 📆 July ² ☘️🔼Starting to recover well, some time outside and a defoliation definitely helped. She was definitely overly leafy for her size and shape, must keep this in mind when LST is dominant. ❇️flowers are definitely here with white stimgas really taking centre strange. Will have to monitor her water intakes closely as she is still in a 3.5 litre pot - not the original intention however I will manage as best I can.

❇️D⁵⁰ —📆July ⁴ ✂️☑️ She seems unencumbered from the light defoliation, still holding a nice shade of green in bushy foliage. Just looks a bit leaf heavy... 🎩starting to branch out quite evenly, should hopefully make for a nice table top canopy during her final form!
