AMS Caramelicious auto (GDG15)

The 1st week of the grow is done and I had to transplant the seedling from its solo cup to the 3.8L fabric pot. It was a little early to pot up but there was a possibility I wouldn't be around when they would need it so thought it would be better earlier then later. Up until potting up she has been growing champion, hopefully I didn't stress her to much and she will continue as she has been. The 3.8L pot was filled with lightmix and added 5ml/lL charge. Notes.

That's week 2 down. Started the week with the controller set to 26c 70% and no humidifier. Really I should have left the humidifier in there as the weather hasn't changed that much yet. Notes. Day8.

That's the 3rd week done. The Caramelicious has come on loads this week and is shaping up nicely. She is looking like she may be the taller and less bushy then the other 2 AMS strains. This one is my favourite so far in the grow. I'm expecting her to double in height during the next week. I don't think I'll be training any of this grow as I really can't see me having the space, so I'll let the plants fight amongst themselves. I have had to start changing the way my grow room works as the season has shifted quite a bit this week. Notes. Day 15.

That's the 4th week done for the Caramelicious. Im still not sure yet on whether she is going to be short and bushy like the other 2 AMS strains, im taking a hunch she will stretch a bit more still. I removed a lot of lower nodes and other foliage that wasn't receiving much light and to help lower humidity. So far she is doing really good, no real issues at the moment. She has just started preflower, which is about a week earlier then I expected. Notes Day 22 Saturday 24/9/22 Viparspectra xs2000=63% power. #3 H=CM, D=CM, DLI=34.3, PPFD=477 L, Ec , Ph .

I didn't get many pictures this week but the whole grow has come on really well. Have been struggling with high RH that I have managed to get somewhat under control. The Caramelicious has well and truly started throwing out pistils this week. This is my favourite of the week I think. She is going to be a bit taller then the other 2 AMS strains so I may need to train her a little. Day 29 Saturday 1/10/22 Autofeed water 1hr. Lifted light another 5cm.

This week the whole grow has kicked into gear. Unfortunately the grow isn't turning out as I had expected. My original plan was to use these small fabric pots to see if I could grow tiny plants. I'm glad I didn't go with the original plan of squeezing 9 in the tent as these have all grown a lot bigger then I had planned. The Caramelicious has continued flowering fine, she is probably the favourite of mine so far out of this grow, she has got some nice spacing on the flowers sites. On day 37 I did some HST on the main cola by bending it 90 degrees because I'm going to run out of height. I have gained about 10cm extra height now. The HST seems to have gone fine. Notes.

This week has gone well. 6 plants in such a small space is playing havoc with the humidity but I feel I'm just about on it enough not to cause any rot. The Caramelicious is just plain awesome so far, bending the main cola 90 degrees hasn't effected her at all. She has a couple of issues but she is my favourite so far. I normally give a 90 day slot for each grow, but this one may finish a bit earlier with how rapid its developing. Notes. Extractor settings.

This week I didn't any pictures at the end of the week because i have been away. I left the grow on autopilot. Everything was looking fine when I went away and with a bit of luck everything will go according to plan and I won't have many issues to deal with when I get back. The Caramelicious is still my favourite out of the grow at the moment but 2 other strains are a close 2nd to it. This is possibly the furthest in development but not by much.

I got back near the start of this week and had a mess to clean up. All my fault as I forgot to turn the waste pump timer on at the wall. The grow has done OK really considering its been left to timers to control it. I'm going to invest in some that I can control remotely as there was one feed I could have done without this time. The Caramelicious is also pulling out some nice colour, still just about my favourite looking plant out of the grow. She is looking like she is going to produce some decent size buds.

This grow is getting close to being finished. Its looking like they won't all finish at the same time as some are slightly behind on development.

The grow is now at the end of week 11 and its looking good. Some plants are nearly ready so I'll be splitting the nutrient feeds.

This strain is one that I want to grow again. She has grown decent solid buds absolutely coated in trichomes. One thing I have learnt during this grow is that the idea of cramming 9 autos into my tent was a stupid idea and trialling it with 6 plants was wise.
