First Grow: 'Orla' Orange Bud (Auto)

Oct 27 (day 57): Start of week 9. She's still looking good. She and Wanda are looking so much bigger than their sisters Ophelia and Wendy. Obviously I am further along the process and know a bit more now, but I think the main reason is the LST. I did it as early as possible on the others as I'd read to start as early as possible in Veg. Both of them are short stocky plants, whereas I waited a bit longer for these two and only did the LST when they had prominent branches to pin. The result is that both these girls are much taller and better formed. Oct 28 (day 58): Fed with 2L of water and week 5 of the nute schedule, microbes and Calmag. Flowers really are huge on her and nice white pisitils. Starting to see the formation of proper colas as the flowers group together. Oct 29 (day 59): Looking nice and healthy still today. Oct 30 (day 60): She's really growing fast. Still stretching and the flowers are continuing to flourish. Oct 31 (day 61): Fed with 2L of water and week 6 of the nute schedule. Happy Halloween! 👻 Nov 1 (day 62): Ordered a jewellers loupe as I hear thats what most people use to inspect trichomes. Cant wait for it to arrive so I can take a look at her sisters more closely. She's just beginning to get trichomes now and will be too early to check them for harvest signs. Pistils are starting to go amber, but I refuse to panic about it this time. Her sisters pistils went amber quite early too, but they seem to be doing ok. I must admit though, hers have stayed white for longer 😶I continue to rotate the plant to put the lower flowers under the hottest part of the light to aid growth. Nov 2 (day 63): End of week 9. Fed with 1L of plain water. Greenhouse is consistently warm, but with the humidity dropping the girls are getting thirsty quicker. I don't want to overdo the nutes and Orla's sister Wanda has a few yellow leaves. I'm not sure what its causing it yet (as it could be a whole myriad of things), so played it safe and fed them all with 1L of water today. Jewellers loupe arrived. What a disappointment! Its a standard one, but they are so small and you have to get so close to the plant to magnify them that the slightest shake of the hand or gust from the fan makes it impossible!!! Can see jack shit clearly and got a face full of resin for the privilege. Going to do some research on other alternatives! Annoyance level 8/10 😤 NOTE: Nutrient amount is the total amount of nutes given during the week.
