Orange Sherbet (auto) FB42

dataTwiiix 06/30: #1 of the orange Sherbet adventure thanks fastbuds for the sample! 07/01: I still don't have the sf1000 mastered which makes it slightly stretch upwards. Since electricity is expensive in my country (.375€/kwh) I ended up lowering the lamp to +/- 30 cm from the seedling and set the dimmer to 50 percent instead of using it at 100 percent at +/-70cm. Given that the lamp runs 24/7 and it's not the only one, every bit of savings even of a few watts is welcome! 07/02: watering around the edges with 500ml of clear water with Trichodermas to reach +/- 1g of tricho for 18l of biobizz allmix soil. 07/04: quiet day... 07/05: I decided to make small holes in the big 18l plastic pot to help aerate the substrate. ... 07/06: I'm going to continue making small holes in the pot and watering on the surface at the end of the day.

dataTwiiix 07/07: first days of the second week of life for my Orange Sherbet #8 *Since I planted in allmix, I'm not too worried about fertilizing right now. 07/10: she finally formed her first internode, the start is slow but I feel that when the little one kicks into high gear. #11 07/11: chill day #12 07/13: watering +/- 0.5L *TopCrop barrier and canna rizotonic #14

dataTwiiix 07/14: the third week of veg. in about a week I'm going to start the fertilizer inputs homeopathically! #15 07/15: watering 500ml *rizotonic TopCrop barrier #16 07/17: I'm thinking: topping or not #18 07/20: 400ml *rhizotonic barrier

dataTwiiix 07/21: start of the 4th week of veg. Topping done today #22 07/22: watering tonight or tomorrow morning +/-400mL *fertilizing 510ppm #23 07/23: as mentioned, watering +/- 400mL setting up LST #24 07/25: watering +/- 600mL *pH'd #25 07/26: she's getting beautiful and tall :D #27 07/27: #28

dataTwiiix 07/28: start of pre-flower I'm going to test bactohemp with its humic acid etc in the next watering/fertilizing.... #29 07/29: 1L *with a teaspoon of bactohemp. Hopefully, this first watering of 1L will solve my water issue... next watering with runoff. I added stakes so the plants can focus more energy on fattening the buds rather than carrying their weight #30 07/30: bactohemp had a beneficial effect it seems the flower sites are already starting to swell :) #31 08/01: first watering of 3L*fertilizing with "runoff" :), the most stressful step in my opinion when growing autoflowers indoors #33 08/03: big defoliation today #35

dataTwiiix 08/04: second week of flowering. We made it! I'm going to gradually increase the feeding. I'm still learning a lot, I'm only on my fourth diary and my experience stops there and continues to evolve at the same speed the plants grow 🌱🌱🌱🐞🐞🐞#35ok 08/06: 4L*feeding -> last nitrogen addition. Next watering "Biobizz Bloom+Top-Max" will be replaced by "Canna pk 13-14+Canna boost accelerator". 08/08: she's thirsty right now - watering 4L*only bud candi #39 08/10: last days of the second week of pre-flowering. Now the buds are going to form :) #41

dataTwiiix 08/11: The third week of flowering finally begins, and we should start to see the flowers take shape. I hope the stretch is over because she is quite big and needs to leave some space for the others. 08/12: The third week starts on a bit of a sour note. Some leaves are deteriorating at a crazy speed, along with some brown spots. First instinct: GHE essential and cal-mag from Canna this morning. Let's hope the next few days will be cooler and that this will fix my problem. 08/13: After doing more research, I finally came across an article on the pevgrow blog, and my problem matches perfectly with a magnesium deficiency. I should see improvements in 4 to 7 days. And of course, continue giving calmag. The problem might come from the fact that I'm running on 24/7 with the autos; at least that's what I think after cross-referencing the advice and opinions of GD "growers" and some articles. 08/14: These last days have been intense for me. During my first diary, I had the same problems with a purple queen auto; back then, I didn't have any calmag... all this to say thanks to the growdiaries.com community who advised and supported me. Now it has stabilized and isn't affecting any other leaves, the new leaves are beautiful and vigorous. I'm relieved, and I've learned new things about cannabis cultivation 😎😨🤓 08/15: In the meantime, she has created a nice mass of leaves; I will apply a big defoliation after the next feeding to ensure that deficiencies are no longer an issue. Other than that, I'm just cutting two leaves a day. #46 08/16: Everything is back in order, phew :D - the production of trichomes has started well, and a slight typical weed smell, whatever the strain, is coming from the grow box at the beginning of flowering. I'm thrilled! Now I hope that the switch in nutrients, meaning changing "BioBizz bloom/topmax" to "Canna PK13-14/Boost Accelerator," will please the lovely lady #47 08/17: After a night of reflection: watering/fertilizing (Canna calmag (.6ml/L)/BB bloom-topMax (1.2ml/L each)/AN BigBud-BudCandy (1ml/L each) this morning. I'll try Canna PK 13 14 and Boost Accelerator on my next plant. #48

dataTwiiix 08/19: 4th week of flowering. The 3rd week was eventful, the stigmas of "underfed" are still visible but the new ones are just right. :) #49 08/20: The flowers are busy gaining mass, the smell is getting stronger and stronger, I'm noticing the beginning of senescence mixed with all sorts of deficiencies. I'm going to keep giving it GHE essentials once a week, which I admit I haven't been doing.... 08/21: 5L/fertilizing 08/24: Very happy to have planted an Orange Sherbet from FastBuds, I still have one seed that I'm keeping for my next auto grow. #55

dataTwiiix 08/25: 5th week first days there's not much left to do except water before the flush 😎🤗🤗😎 #56 08/26: flushing RO: 440ppm #57 08/27: we must wait until the end of September until I smoke my first firecracker of this O.S. Life is so ruff with me. :D #58 08/30: next flush in a few days thanks @RastoMouse for the help canna flush. @growdiaries.com #61

dataTwiiix 09/01: 6th week of flowering. And second flush with canna flush RO less tap water ppm: 220ppm #63 09/02: slowly but surely we're getting closer to the harvest #64 09/04: #66 09/05: #67 09/07: trimming. Milky no signs of trimming. Amber for now. I think, finally I hope that in 10 days there will be 10/15% amber. So I can finally harvest this gem. 🌞🌞🌞💦💦💦🌞🎉💯

dataTwiiix 09/08: 7th week of flowering, the last one I hope :) #70 09/09: I finally see some amber trichomes, the harvest is near 🎉💦🌞💯 #71 09/11: put the beauty in the dark box. For 36h. #73
