The Orange Cream Dream Grow

Welcome to the Week 7 update of the Sweet Seeds Cream Mandarine XL Autoflowering grow. So just a few things to mention this time around but nothing super exciting. I’ve been keeping up with the Powdery Mildew discovered in Week 6 and so far, so good. The plants have completely stopped stretching now with the tallest plant reaching an impressive final height of 54". I switched over from the Grow to a Bloom fertilizer in Week 6 but forgot to mention it during that update. I’m at 2.5 mls/gallon of the GHE FloraNova Bloom fertilizer which is a quarter dose of what the company recommends for regular photo sensitive strains. I generally don’t exceed more than half of what I would feed a photo sensitive strain when feeding Autoflowers and the plants seem satisfied with the small amount of fertilizer they are receiving right now. I am still fertilizing every second watering which would be every 8 days. As far as watering goes, all four plants are still quite thirsty! Anywhere from 3.5-4.2 litres per plant per watering so 0.87-1.05 litres per plant per day. I have also been slowly/selectively defoliating as well as removing lower branches that are not going to produce quality bud. That’s about it for now, stay tuned for further updates as we wind down to harvest time!
