Plant is looking good, no signs of it being in distress. I still don't see anything indicating it's going to stretch, so I'm prepared to have another short bushy bugger. Hopefully the yield isn't hindered at all, I would like it to be comparable with my friends grows of this plant. One things I'm sure of, is mine will taste better, as I'm using organic nutrients, and he uses Advanced Nutrients. I will give the plant a nice dosage of water later on this evening. It's not bone dry, but it's not far off, and I'd rather it get more nutrients. 11/23/21: Day 30. 💧As the pot was very dry, a gave it a large dose of water. No runoff though, as I'm still getting good at not overwatering to the point of runoff. In a few days I will remove most of the leaves from the buds, hopefully forcing them to bulk up. The technique is used by others, but they are working on plants that look much healthier than this one. It doesn't look completely terrible, but there are definitely some issues. As this is still my best looking auto while using Gaia Green, I will use this as my main guide. All new autos will be planted in smart pots, only 2 gallons or bigger, no more garbage cans. Vegging photos is still fine, just no more autos, unless I switch back to liquid nutrients, as they never had an issue back then. 11/24/21: Day 31. After lifting up the pot, I can tell that this plant wants lots of water. It's not light enough to even think about adding more, but there is a definite difference in weight from last night. I might start collecting specific sized containers, and use them to water. Like a 500ml bottle, a 710ml bottle, a 1L bottle, and a 2L bottle. That way I can start off with 500ml every other day. Then slowly switch the the larger bottle. Pending on the size of the pot, I likely won't go over 1L for autos in a 2 gallon pot. Anything in a 3 gallon pot, should easily be able to handle a full 2L, once it's a full on plant that is, as seedlings won't be needing that much. 11/26/21: Day 33. 💧Plant is doing alright, I suppose. The leaf spots I believe were caused by a mag deficiency, so I added in a good helping of cal mag treated water. It won't do anything for the already damaged leaves, but hopefully it will prevent it from happening again. I will now incorporate a cal mag feeding every three months, just to be sure. I don't think Gaia Green has any in it, so I will have to add it separately. Fine with me, as it's easy to mix. 11/28/21: Day 35. 🍃 After a heavy defoliation, the plant is very bare looking. I stripped away all the big leaves, and most of the smaller leaves. It's not a technique I've employed before, but it's something I'm hoping works out for me, as it will save me from further trimming during harvest.
