* UPDATE DAY 35 [FROM SPROUT] *
WOW, I HAD NO IDEA HOW BIG THESE AUTOFLOWERS GET DURING STRETCH. IT'S LOOKING LIKE THE YIELD WILL BE PRETTY BIG.
I'M QUITE CONFIDENT IT'LL BE SOMEWHERE AROUND 50G OR MORE. DO YOU GUYS AGREE WITH ME? TBH I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ESTIMATE YIELDS THAT WELL, SO LET ME KNOW!
TIPS SO FAR FOR THIS AUTOFLOWER (OR ALL AUTOS):
* KEEP THE ENVIRONMENT IN CHECK. I DON'T KNOW IF MY PLANTS GOT THIS BIG MORE DUE TO GENETICS OR ENVIRONMENT, BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT ENVIRONMENT PLAYED A HUGE ROLE IN CURRENT MY PLANT SIZE.
* AVOID JUDGING PLANT SUCCESS BY THE LOOKS OF THE PLANT IN EARLY VEG. THE KEY OF THE GAME IS ROOT DEVELOPMENT, AS I'M SURE IS TRUE FOR ALL AUTOFLOWERS!
* UPDATE DAY 39 [FROM SPROUT] *
WILL DEFOLIATE SOON. MAYBE ON DAY 40.
* UPDATE DAY 40 [FROM SPROUT] *
DID SOME DEFOLIATION. I CUT THE LEAVES BLOCKING SOME OF THE LOWER BUDS ON ALL OF THE COLAS. NOT ALL OF THEM THOUGH.
I ALSO CUT THE LEAVES BLOCKING THE MAIN COLAS.
ADDED A FAN BLOWING AWAY FROM THE PLANT TOWARDS THE TENT WALLS TO SIMULATE INDIRECT AIR CIRCULATION TOWARDS THE BOTTOM PARTS OF THE PLANT.
I COULD BLOW TOWARDS THE PLANTS, BUT I PREFER NOT TO ENCOUNTER ANY ISSUES RELATED TO WIND BURN + THIS FAN IS QUITE DIRTY WITH THE MINERALS FROM MY HUMIDIFIER. IT IS VERY HARD TO CLEAN. CAN'T CLEAN WITHOUT SOAKING THE ELECTRONICS OF THE FAN.
* UPDATE DAY 41 [FROM SPROUT] *
HEIGHT: 50CM. IT STRETCHES AROUND 4CM EVERY 2 DAYS. IT WAS 46CM ON DAY 39.
SET DIMMER TO AROUND 70% BECAUSE OF PURPLE PETIOLES. WILL ADJUST IF THE PURPLING DOESN'T GO AWAY.
