炎热的夏天来种植，自动ak48

Holyleaf666 The summer planting temperature is really too high, so I chose the heat-resistant AK48 strain. Day 1: The seeds have been soaking in water overnight. In the morning, I used imported seedling blocks as the base. I found that the pH of Nongfu Spring water is 7, so I need to adjust it to 6.5. I placed it on the south-facing balcony, using scattered light. I hope it won't get heat-stressed; there have been a lot of thunderstorms lately, so I hope the temperature can drop a bit. Day 2: I didn't expect them to successfully germinate in just one day, both of them did, what a surprise! It rained last night, which cooled things down quite a bit, all good news. Day 3: The germination speed of the two seeds is really inconsistent; one has already broken the shell and grown its first true leaves, while the other hasn't broken the shell by evening, I'm so worried. I asked a senior grower, and they said it's okay, I hope so. Day 4: I'm so tired today; I just transferred the well-developed one into a 1-gallon pot, using a mix of Compo soil and zeolite, it feels great for drainage. I wonder how it will hold up over time. The pot is small, and I think monitoring the plants will be very effective, so I named it "Green Philodendron." As for the one that developed late, I couldn't help but peel off its shell, continuing to use the seedling block and covering it with a lid. I decided to start using a 1000W light; it really took a lot of time, I hope the late-developing one grows quickly! By the way, the light is on from 5 PM to 11 AM, a total of 18 hours, at a height of 50 cm. Day 5: I really can't stand that genetically weak seed anymore; based on previous experience, poor genetics will lead to slow growth later on, and it wastes nutrients, so I've decided to only grow one now, and so far everything looks good. Day 6: Everything is normal, the leaves have grown quite a bit, and the second set of leaves is also showing. The temperature is still very high; during the day, without air conditioning, it reached a maximum of 31 degrees. It seems like the plum rain hasn't arrived yet, still very humid. Day 7: Everything is normal, continuing to grow, the weather is cooler. I took a couple of photos to remind myself to start using compost tea for watering next time.

Holyleaf666 Day ten, I haven't written in my diary for two days because I was flying for two days... hahaha. Today is day ten, and there's been a big change; the weather is really hot. Day thirteen: After two weeks of growth, I can relax now. I took a sniff and found that this strain has a stronger smell than before. Then, I noticed that the soil still has over 20% moisture since the first watering, so it seems the root system still needs to develop. I'm planning to water for the second time on the evening of day fifteen. Tomorrow I'll make compost tea; today I mixed two types of fertilizer with a little sesame fertilizer and added just a bit of water to wake up the microbes. I can use it when I make the compost tea tomorrow. The weather is probably going to be very hot for a while. I haven't seen any signs of rain. By the way, I've adjusted the light distance to 30 centimeters.

Holyleaf666 Day 19, it's been a while since I last updated. I've done quite a bit this week, changed to a bigger pot, and for the first time, I watered with compost tea. I remind myself to pay attention to a few points: check the pH before watering!!!!!!! Even in the coolest spots during the hottest summer days, it still needs 36 hours of aeration for fermentation!!!!!!! The pantyhose method works great!!!!!!! I also did some fim last night, and today I trimmed all the fan leaves, leaving four layers of nodes and one fimmed top, expecting 10 main branches. Next week, I’ll add a piece of jade fertilizer to the compost tea! After changing pots, it took the plant almost two nights to recover from the compost tea, and it bounced back after 36 hours. After trimming the leaves today, it looks a bit droopy, but I expect it to recover by tomorrow morning. Today is July 19, Day 21, the weekend of the third week. The plant has bounced back, and I did some fim, trimming many fan leaves to expose the buds. I didn't do LST because I feel the buds are already out, so there's no need for it right now.

Holyleaf666 Today is day 28, the end of the fourth week, and a lot has happened this week. First, I brewed compost tea for the second time and found that I probably shouldn't add white sugar or rice starch, because this time the smell wasn't as nice as the first. Then I noticed that the AK48 strain is super short, but luckily I did some topping at the beginning of the week, which resulted in a lot more colas. The best part is that I saw the pistils today, and I also buried some bone meal. The autoflowering strain is growing really fast; I'm still keeping the light schedule at 18/6, but I might switch to 12/12 next week, or maybe not. I counted a total of 10 colas.

Holyleaf666 Day 40: It's been a little over a week, and the plants are now just over 30 centimeters tall. The buds have fully opened, and the main branches are clearly distinguishable. The last feeding was diluted 1:1, and I plan to fertilize again in the next couple of days, just adding a bit of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, no more compost tea. Following the order of plain water - half strength - full strength - half strength - plain water. I added a new supplemental light, and it's working really well; it's an LED yellow light. I might need to add another one, but since the weather is still pretty hot, with room temperatures reaching up to 32 degrees, I'm hesitant to add more light sources. Also, I've noticed tiny white crawling insects in the soil, usually not visible, and I plan to use imidacloprid during the next watering. There are slight signs of nitrogen burn. Overall, everything is under control. I've watered four times so far.

Holyleaf666 It's the forty-second day, six weeks have passed, and to be precise, we've entered the flowering stage for two weeks. Today, I watered with a flowering booster imported from Japan to test its effects. I originally wanted to use seaweed extract, but my thought is that just like people, plants need a rich diet with a bit of everything to grow strong. Even the best fertilizer won't be effective if you only use one type, especially for someone like me who practices organic growing. The soil leachate pH is still perfectly at 6.0. I'll share a few pictures, that's the main thing. I wonder if there are any Chinese people reading my diary, please show yourselves.

Holyleaf666 Day 49, the end of week 7. I thought the buds were growing slowly, but it turns out it was due to insufficient moisture. I watered last night, and the humidity right after was 55%, but today it dropped to 35% really quickly. I feel like I’ll need to water again soon. I’m planning to start preparing a new compost tea tomorrow night. The previous compost teas have been great, and this will be the 6th time watering. After watering, they immediately started to grow a lot.

Holyleaf666 Day sixty-two, almost into the ninth week. I've already watered twice during this time, using only a mix of bloom booster (containing just phosphorus and potassium) and seaweed extract. I was originally planning to harvest, but a lot of white hairs have appeared, and it seems like there's a new wave of buds. The reason might be related to switching to 12/12 lighting on day 60. I'm planning to give it at least another 3 weeks of flowering light. I'll post some pictures.

Holyleaf666 It's the seventy-second day, which means ten weeks have passed. During this time, I watered twice, and it feels like it's almost done. The crystals have become opaque, and some have even turned yellow. One last watering to flush! Time to get ready for the harvest!

Holyleaf666 Day 75!!!! I couldn't hold back!!! Harvest!!!! Exceeded expectations!!!! 75 DAYS!!! MY FIRST GROW Thank you to all the friends who helped! Perfect!
