AUTO LEMON BY DA SEEDSMAN

* UPDATE DAY 11 * SORRY FOR NOT STARTING OUT ON WEEK 1. HOWEVER, WEEK 1 WAS QUITE BORING. JUST GREW UNTIL IT HAD 1 AND A HALF SET OF LEAVES. NOW IT IS STARTING TO GROW ITS 3RD SET OF LEAVES ON DAY 11.

* UPDATE DAY 15 * SEEMS LIKE I USED TOO MUCH ON THE NUTRIENTS FOR THE GORILLA GIRL BAGSEED TO HANDLE THE PACE OF THE LEMONS SEEM SLOW THOUGH, ANY IDEAS WHY? MAYBE THEY'LL BLOW UP IN GROWTH SOON. WILL TURN UP DIMMER PERCENTAGE NEAR WEEK 4. * UPDATE DAY 18 * AUTO LEMON 2 DIED! STEM ROT! TIP: DON'T USE A DOME IN THE SEEDLING STAGE FOR TOO LONG! BUT IF YOU DO, ADD SOME SORT OF AIR CIRCULATION AND STAGNANT/CLEAN AIR EXCHANGE. * UPDATE DAY 20 * STARTED LST

* UPDATE DAY 21 * REMOVED WIRE BECAUSE PLANT OUTGREW IT THE NEXT DAY. DECIDED TO USE PONYTAIL LST METHOD TO GET LIGHT TO THE BOTTOM BRANCHES. ALSO USING LEAF TUCKING. (TIP: REMOVE PONYTAIL DURING DARK PERIOD) STARTING BENDING ON DAY 23-24. JUST WAITING FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE GROWTH OUT OF THE BOTTOM BRANCHES. BTW, BIOBLOOM DOSE IS AROUND 1.8g/L. I WEIGHED OUT ONE BLUE SCOOP THEY SENT ME WITH THE BAG. IT'S AROUND 10 GRAMS 1 FULL SCOOP. THAT MEANS I ADDED AROUND 20 GRAMS INTO THE 3 GALLON POT. THAT'S 2 FULL BLUE SCOOPS OF BIOBLOOM. * UPDATE DAY 22 * I STARTED BENDING THE PLANT NOW! WILL ADD PICTURES SOON, UNLESS I FORGET, WHICH IF I DO, FORGIVE ME LOL HEIGHT IS NOW AROUND 12.25 CM SINCE BENDING STARTED. ALSO TRANSPLANTED GORILLA GIRL. WILL POST A PICTURE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. * UPDATE DAY 25 * THE AUTO LEMON IS GETTING TALLER AND TALLER EVERY DAY. SEEMS LIKE IT'S STILL VEGGING. 2 MORE NODES ON EACH NODE ALREADY GROWN WOULD BE FANTASTIC AND WILL RESULT IN GOOD YIELDS. THOUGH, I WOULDN'T MIND A BIT MORE :) * UPDATE DAY 27 * SEEMS LIKE EACH BRANCH HAS AT LEAST 2 EXTRA BUD SITES! SOME EVEN HAVE 4 + 1 TOP. PROBABLY GOING TO FLOWER SOON. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE YIELD MIGHT END UP TO BE, BUT MY PREDICTION IS AROUND 2 OZ. I GUESS WE'LL SEE!

* UPDATE DAY 29 [FROM SPROUT] * ** (ALSO UPDATE DAY 2 FLOWER) ** SO, THE AUTO LEMON STARTED FLOWERING. IT'S SHOWING PISTILS AND IS BEGINNING TO STRETCH AND GO ON ITS GROWTH SPURT. I'LL KEEP WATERING IT AND KEEPING ON EYE ON ANY DEFICIENCIES, PROBLEMS, ETC... OVERALL, AUTO LEMON HAS PROVED HERSELF TO BE A PRETTY BADASS PLANT! I'M LIKING THE POTENTIAL BUD COUNT AND THE AMOUNT OF TOPS IT'S MADE DURING VEG. BTW, PLEASE TELL ME OR COMMENT ON MY DIARY WHAT I SHOULD IMPROVE! INSTEAD OF ONLY DOCUMENTING MY GROW, I THINK I COULD BE EVEN MORE HELPFUL TO THE PEOPLE WANTING TO GROW THE STRAINS I'VE GROWN SO FAR. * UPDATE DAY 32 [FROM SPROUT] * I'M GOING TO BE REMOVING ALL PHOTOS OF GORILLA GIRL AND ADDING THEM TO ITS FINAL 'HARVEST' SECTION OF MY DIARY. JUST TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND TO AVOID CONFUSION.

* 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.

* UPDATE DAY 42 [FROM SPROUT] * HEY GUYS, I USED SOME BIO-ENHANCER BY GREEN HOUSE FEEDING (4.5G/L) TO HELP SOME OF THE LEFTOVER BIO BLOOM BY GREEN HOUSE FEEDING BREAK DOWN THAT I AMENDED FROM WEEK 4. IF THE PLANT WILL START SHOWING ANY DEFICIENCIES, I WILL ASSUME THAT THE BIO BLOOM HAS ALL BEEN EATEN AND I WILL AMEND MORE. TENT IS STARTING TO GET A BIT CROWDED WITH MY OTHER PLANT LOL

* UPDATE DAY 49 [FROM SPROUT] * DID SOME DEFOLIATION FOR LIGHT TO REACH LOWER BUD SITES. * UPDATE DAY 50 [FROM SPROUT] * NOT MANY MORE UPDATES.. I GUESS I'M ON AUTOPILOT MODE NOW. SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GONNA GO FOR 3 MORE WEEKS!
