Alien Moonrocks Autoflower

Granddaddy_Terp She's doing well. No issues so far. As usual I have started her under my 30w LED that I use for seedlings. I will be moving her into the tent in the next few days.

Granddaddy_Terp So far so good! I moved her into the tent a couple of days ago and she seems to be handling the increase in light intensity just fine!

Granddaddy_Terp I topped her on day 19 and she has taken to it very well. Everything is looking really good so far. She received her first very light feeding on day 20. Just a small dose of veg nutes and cal-mag. I will likely start doing some LST this week. Check in next week to see how it went!

Granddaddy_Terp Another strong week in the books. No low stress training just yet. Only some leaf tucking to better expose her future bud sites. I anticipate the stretch starting in the next week and will begin tying down some branches then.

Granddaddy_Terp Another good week in the books! She is just starting to stretch so I decided to start tying down some branches this week to try and get as even a canopy as possible. She seems very healthy overall. She has responded very well to the LST and I've seen no signs of deficiencies. I'm looking forward to seeing her flowers!

Granddaddy_Terp Out of all the autoflowers I have grown this one is the healthiest! She's lush and green and super bushy. She seemed to love the increase in nutrients I gave her this week and she's really started to stretch the last couple of days. Her canopy is looking nice and even but I will continue to tuck leaves and tie branches down to expose as many bud sites to the light as possible.

Granddaddy_Terp Another week down! She's been much thirstier so I have found myself having to water every 2 or 3 days rather than every 4 or 5 days. I upped her nutrients again this week and she still appears to be showing signs of hunger. I plan to up the nutes again next feeding. I have been tucking leaves like a mad man trying to expose as many bud sites as I can to the light. She's just so bushy that it's becoming difficult. I think I may start defoliating a bit this week to make things a little more manageable.

Granddaddy_Terp She's chugging right along. I think she's done stretching. She was getting a little too close to the light so I moved it up a couple of inches. I think the light intensity may have been contributing to some of the discoloration in some of the upper leaves. She's starting to give off quite the smell and I'm seeing a few pinkish/purplish pistils. She has more bud sites than any plant I've ever grown. I'm very happy my LST on this girl and will be trying to mimic it with all my future plants. I've been removing a few fan leaves here and there to open up all the bud sites to the light. It doesn't seem to stress her out at all. I cut the veg nutes put completely this week and upped the PPM to almost 1,000. I don't think I'll be going much higher than that as I have noticed a yellow tips on a few of her leaves. Thanks for checking out my diary and I'm already looking forward to next week's update!

Granddaddy_Terp I noticed a few signs of overfeeding this last week so I cut back on the nutrients by 10%. I think I've found the sweet spot now. I spent some time readjusting branches and retying them down this week. This plant is very bushy and the sheer number of bud sites is quite impressive. I wanted to expose as many of them to consistent light as possible so I also did a fair amount of defoliation. Her smell is really starting to shine! I can't quite describe the smell yet but I can just tell she's going to be very stinky. She's about halfway through flowering so I'm expecting her to need about one more month before she's ready to harvest.

Granddaddy_Terp She is really starting to bulk up fast! I think I have the watering and feeding dialed in perfectly. Her leaves are still on the lighter side but considering how fast the buds are putting on weight I think I'm going to continue feeding her at the same strength I have been for the last couple of weeks. Her smell is really coming through now. It's a strong lemony pine-sol scent that seems to get stronger by the day. It's fantastic. Thanks for reading my diary!

Granddaddy_Terp Well, despite all of her leaves doing their best Pikachu impression the buds still seem to be progressing nicely. Some of the pistils have started turning orangish brown and the buds themselves are getting thicker by the day. Her smell is very loud, almost like a lemony pine-sol. It's fantastic! She's still 2-3 weeks away from harvest. I'll probably start checking the trichomes next week and monitoring them every few days until she's ready to chop. Thanks for checking out my diary!

Granddaddy_Terp Most of her leaves have started dying off. I think it is largely due to missing a watering. Still, her buds are sticky and smelly and look to be nearing the finish line. I’ve stopped giving her the calmag and the boost nutes but I’m still giving her some bloom nutes. I’ve also started monitoring her trichomes. No amber yet. They are still a mix of clear and milky. I’m thinking she still needs another 10-14 days. See you next week!

Granddaddy_Terp Her buds are super dense and I’m just starting to see some amber trichomes. Unfortunately I definitely fried her a bit with too much food and her leaves have gone brown and crispy. Because of this I decided to chop her today. I’ll report back in a couple of weeks!
