I really should bust out the time lapse camera next time I grow this strain! It is by far the most responsive and active plant I've ever seen or grown! It does not like to be underwatered, under lit and under fed.
I decided to feed chemical this week and used Maxigro and a bit more Cal-Mag along with a few drops of Floralicious Plus. Water from Recerse Osmosis has been awfully acidic lately @ 5.0-5.5 so I've had to PH individual watering cups. Doing this, plant responded well when adding a small heater to the room, temps have been cool and humid lately.
I'm just mesmerized as to how this plant is supposed to be a sativa dominant but yet has surprisingly Indica, Kush-like fan leaves.
Every day this plant grows almost 2 inches with no stopping except the last hour of light, then it looks like it's overwatered but not as badly as other strains in room. It has, for its age, the most vibrant growth I've seen in any strain or species of plant I've personally ever grown(except my brand sweet corn, yeah...I grow corn/maize!). I have also noticed much improvement in growth and overall vibrancy of my room by adding a 120watt Mars Hydro light, colors have darkened and you can literally watch this girl go through her processes now that light is nearly 3.1 ųMol per sq. Ft and more lumens than this plant needs! Next week she'll be tall enough to be put on the floor and allowed to stretch more.
Why do autos stall right after preflower? I have had many auto flowering strains just sit around for a week or so, seemingly stagnant and without any issues but just slooooooowwwww.
Am I stunting my autos by reducing Nitrogen ferts during this phase?
This can happen during the stretch phase. Auto flowers are from the ruderalis family which flower based on time. The transition of veg to flower is slower then regular so with some strain's it can seem like they are doing nothing. But they are preparing to flower. Building Roots, Stems are getting thicker to hold the buds. Its completely normal, Plants are looking good.
Happy Growing
@Mplants, I don't have GH's full line...sh*t is expensive for one and two, I know of better products that I like from other producers. Yes, I make mistakes here and there but my feeding schedule is based of many factors but yes, I have noticed many issues "mixing" totally differently products and expecting it to be good. Like my 2011 grow; where I crushed up a small amount of Centrum Silver, dissolved in water for 48 hours and added to a 6 month old mother....it worked....but too well and created a serious Iron, Boron, chelated maganese/calcium, sulfur, etc lockout! Lmfao
Anyways, I should invest in the Lucas formula but my ferts have all those micro nutes..
Man, trying out new strains, especially two in one container...best to do your homework beforehand because I'm getting especially lucky to have this grow on lock!🔐
Next step is using regular tent size grow techniques in a micro setting, that and trying to perfect my craft with autoflowers and getting dank buds like photos and breeding.
Sh*t is rewarding AF!
