Week 4: February 2nd to February 8th
-----------------------------------------------------------
✂️ Selectively defoliated large fan leaves with petioles in excess of 2.5". I nip new growth shoots on the lowest nodes of each growth shoot. I typically take growth shoots between the first 1-4 nodes with more being taken from lowest growth shoots. I make my determination based off how much light will penetrate to reach that node. If it's a growth shoot near the top of the plant, I might only take one node, if that; but, the lowest branches will need the most removed because those branches receive less light. I only leave growth shoots on the first 3-5 nodes from the top of the growth shoot. The part of the branch that gets the most light. I do my best to read the plant, but it is a bit of an art. Another best practice is to wait 1-2 days after first seriously considering removing a large fan leaf, just to make sure I don't go overboard and stress the plant. Autoflowers can be sensitive and I don't want to stunt my plants.
🚿 Last week of foliar spray (Because the rest of the garden is 2 weeks ahead of this cultivar)
Golden Tree @ .25ml/gal
Tree Trunk @ 2ml/gal
Cal-Mag+Iron @ 5ml/gal
Fulvex @ 30ml/gal
Powdered Yucca Extract @ 1/64 tsp/gal
Drop of organic liquid soap
@FoTwenny, I have been well, busy and trying to stay safe lol. Super excited to see you back at it again with the white Vans and the green thumbs haha!
Me he quedado asustado por las 68h de oscuridad. Pensaba hacer ese método para acelerar la floración, pero sólo con 36h de oscuridad, ¿Has probado este método antes? Saludos🖐️👨🌾
@FoTwenny, Gracias por la respuesta. Yo probé en la temporada anterior, acelerar la entrada a floración, tuve las plantas 36h a oscuras, después las puse a 13-14h de luz y probé también a alumbrar las plantas con una bombilla (10w) de rojo lejano (730nm), durante la última media hora de luces y la media hora posterior a apagarlas... no noté nada, la floración llegó 2-3 semanas después, lo normal.
Ahora quiero hacer una nueva prueba, voy a mantener las plantas 48h de oscuridad y después pasarlas a un horario estricto 12/12h.
@deFharo, I have not tried in the past but have read about it and decided to try it when a friend recommended it based off their experience. It worked, but I don't think she has the auto gene, she started pushing pistils but after about a week of 21/3 and she went back to veg. I just sent her off to a new home today.
@FoTwenny, I hope that other home is still under your jurisdiction ;))) it's 200 g plant.
I recently had one NL she went into reveg/foxtail mode 3 times in one flowering cycle, previously had girl who didn't want to start flowering. I had that gene already, it's monstrosity gene ;))))
@Inganjawetrust, I mean, I have heard of autoflower seeds that don't autoflower, but to have 2 in one run has been a bummer. The other was from Expert Seeds and was a feminized seed, but when I put her outside... She turned out to be male too.
She's looking nice . I'm planning on popping a few of this strain outside this spring , I'll be curious to see how yours turns out. Best of luck with her.🌱🌿
