Welcome to my mimosa x orange punch auto diary.
Been looking forward to trying this strain awhile now, was actually going to get this back for my 1st grow, then I started seeing autos and read a bit and was hooked by the promises of nearly the exact same as photos but without the long wait, they are the same, like the same way, a man and woman are the same, as we are both human, they are both weed plants, but completely different in so many ways, autos, are delicate and soft, they need a good hug and kiss before you get down to business, whereas photos, are rough and ready and they get down with pretty much any mistake and can be fixed and don't carry issues/problems through the whole relationship, ( meaning, you can fix issues before you flip, and control the bud you get and even the quality more so) but, hey, once you got autos down, you can get some pretty darn good bud, not as good as photos, but, good nonetheless.
Seedling D 1 Plant was left out of light for a few hours while I put my new setup together, scaled it back a bit. Popped it's head up before I could get it under a light, it shot up some after was put under 1. No big thing, just starting out a few cm than she would have if it had been under the light when I started it. My temperature is high atm, was in the 25 range, but in she heat of the day it can be from as low as 25c to 29c with lights on, lights off, not much of a dif as my lights go off at the hottest part of the day just still I can get them all out of seedling stage and I'll adjust to that as we get further along in the winter, lights will go out late at night to bring temps down for terps, (if doing this, be sure not to do it in preflower and its also best to keep temps steady in all stages of veg.
SD 4 she seems to be on track. Nice color, decent growth for a seedling.
PLANS
Will be keeping this grow simple, no topping, no uppotting, just straight LST, light defol, (if at all, and definitely not in veg). Hoping for a nice big ass cola with some side branches, no point in saying I want a certain G from an auto, that isn't up to us. Same way we take our women, we don't control the mood they get in.... but we still take em any way we can get em right! Yeah, gotta love em. And hey, they might even throw some love back your way, in the way of some frosty ass dank bud in 70 days or less. ( I'm not a sexist, just incase I offend any female, not my intention, nothing but love from GGS).
Seeding days 5,6 &Veg Day 7. Steady growth this week. Happy overall.. looks a little bright green, but am going to hold off on food for another week. Gave whole crop a cannacure spray on top & bottom of every plant, as I seen 2 mites munching on leafs id taken off hrs before. Funny, that my 1st time finding them, I found 2 on the floor. I scanned through every plant, and couldn't find any. I kilt 1, but the other ran into a pot that had no spill tray. I'm going to lay yellow bug traps and weekly they'll get cannacure. After 20mins it had dried in completely..thought I'd of had to have the light at 25% for a few hrs but put it back up to 75% after 40mins.
Thanks to my sponsors from barneysfarm & marshydro led lights.. 2 great reps I dealt with, shout out to them, mad respect
