Day 47 / 40 - did a good bit of maintenance and messing around today. I lollipopped all of em, as per images. Took off any lower foliage and small bud sites that weren't receiving light. I also adjusted my light height to it's absolute maximum, and turned the power up all the way. This is giving me a bit more even footprint of light with a DLI of around 60 at the middle of the canopy. The 3 ladies also received a drink with 1ml Calmag 2ml Alg-A-Mic per litre, 1.5L for Jon Snow and 1L for the others.
Day 51 / 44 - gave the Jon Snow auto a pretty severe makeover. It had gone extremely bushy in the grow area, with humidity getting a bit high for my liking. After a bit of research I found examples of a technique called "Schwazzing" which is essentially extreme defoliation. Seeing some people apply this to autoflowers gave me confidence to go ahead and give it a try. I didn't go as extreme as some others would, but it definitely opened up the canopy. The other ladies got a minor trim also, to try and give every bud site a chance.
Day 52 / 45 - looking good. Everyone got a drink today of about 1.5L w some Biosys microbe tea blend, 10ml Biotabs Orgatrex p/l, 2ml Biobizz Bloom p/l, Alg-A-Mic 2ml p/l. A nice treat for them as Jon Snow is in full flower, Cinderella Jack not far behind and Northern Lights chugging along slowly behind. Can't wait to see the flowers continue to develop. Very happy.
Thanks for reading, see you next week!
Buen crecimiento!
Me gusta tu armario. Yo estoy jugando con uno de 32x32. Seguirรฉ de cerca. En un par de semanas voy a montar un cultivo Mini lollipop.
Buenos humos
Nice 'drobe, raising the floor and putting the intake in the bottom is... much better than what I did. Enjoy your 4 wee ones friend, may they grow fast and fat!
@wrongleverkronk, thanks for stopping by - gonna take a look at your methods now. Always interesting to see how others approach the same problems. Happy growing!
@Sweet_Seeds, thanks Jaypp, I've had great success with your genetics in the past. I love this strain, Black Cream Auto. Some of the most beautiful buds I've ever seen.
@wrongleverkronk, thanks Kronk... me too!! Some pretty amazing smells coming from the dry area. The Northern Lights smells like lemon cleaner, the Jon Snow is very cheesy and the Cinderella Jack oddly, to both me and my missus, smells like a spicy beef dinner! I kept telling her to "smell my fingers" while doing minor pre-dry trimming...
Hope you had a nice Christmas / New Year period. Time to look ahead for the year and get the grows planned out. Good luck, thanks for stopping by!
They're looking fantastic my friend, I've not smoked Jack Herer, but C99 used to be one of my regular strains. If she's anything like her mother, it will be a great smoke. The 4th pic looks like magnesium deficiency to me, but you're using calmag, so phosphorous is the best bet!
@wrongleverkronk, thanks for checking in! The CJ is really bulking up now, gonna be some beautiful buds in a few weeks time. Agree with your diagnosis, something between mag and P deficiency. I might have been going a bit too light on the calmag, especially considering the light is pummeling them 24/7. Gonna try an increased calmag feeding on my next run. Not too worried about these ladies now, they have a few gnarly spots but overall looking good, but I'm always aiming for maximum quality and efficiency.
Good luck with your grows and thanks again for the comments!
@BioBuds, thanks bud! It's been a fun experiment. Gonna be an interesting couple of weeks as they begin to stretch - could get a bit jungley in there. We can only hope! Thanks again for stopping by, gonna check your diaries out now. Happy growing!
