She responded well to the transplant with little to no shock. Started sucking the nutrients.
Over watered her due to a stuff up with my irrigation. Opted to manually water here on in.
This is my first grow from seed and expected to be a learning experience, any input would be greatly appreciated.
Noticed some Nitrogen toxicity so decided to lower grow A + B to 2.5ml and add some cal mag.
She responded well to topping was umming and uhhing about whether to do it or not but the time felt right and didnt seem to stunt her much at all.
Absolutely amazed by the genetics of this plant with the insane internodal spacing and horizontal growth.
My intents with this plant were to just let her do her thing but couldn't resist the chance for a fat canopy.
Week starting off a bit rough.
Massive temperature spike up to 29 degrees c and 30% humidity for a few hours shocked her. Some yellowing on the tips of new growth.
Starting off this week with lower A + B (1ml/l, 1/3 strength) and adding in some potash plus to prestart her for flower.
Midweek: Flushed with about 10L of Ph'd water because I was seeing a significant rise in TDS/EC.
Started feeding today with 1/4 strength Grow A+B and 1/4 Bloom A+B.
End of week: Very consistent growth. Amazed. Going to be a monster auto 😁
May have broken a branch while LST. Just put it back where I found it and tied it up. Hopefully the I didnt see it, it didnt happen method pulls through.
Started feeding with Bloom nutrient schedule at 1/3 strength and upped the dose of calmag to 1ml/L
Next week will see a steady increase in nutrient strength and additional bloom additives from cycos advanced line and her first hair cut.
Everything looks good to me. If you are worried about feeding to much. Collect the runoff and test the ppm/ec value. If it's dramatically higher then what your feeding then you will want to reduce your feed.
Happy Growing
Beginning of week: Can't tell yet if the branch i broke is going to mend or die yet. Light defoliation today focusing on the upper canopy and tapering to the bottom to allow the lower branches to catch up as much as possible.
Midweek: going away for 3 days. Put my net down to help breakup the canopy more though it wasnt really needed this thing loves to grow sideways. Added Cycos suga rush at 1ml/L and a light defoliation. The branch i thought I broke hasnt shown any signs of dying and has continued growing 😁 I also have started watering with worm casting tea in between feeds.
Stretch is in full swing. She's really starting to drink a lot at this point.
Midweek: really focusing on defoliation this week to open up the canopy and get as much light to bud sights as possible. Increased light output to 100% and lamp to plant distance to about 70cm giving me a bigger light footprint.
End of Week: canopy is filling nice and evenly. May have to leave some lower branches on after harvest but we'll see. Next couple of weeks should be exciting.
Gave her a haircut at the beginning of the week, buds are fattening up quick. Im seeing noticeable changes daily. Increased light on time by 3 hours to 23 hours on. Feed has changed with the addition of Cycos swell (2.5ml/L) and Supa Stiky (2ml/L) and removal of potash plus. All to aid in the development of the phattest buds possible 😁
End of Week: Noticed rust spots on some fan leaves ref grow question. Gave her a flush of PH'D water and Kleanse as it was time to anyway dialed the Bloom A + B back a little to 2ml/L. Let's see how she picks up. Just starting to notice frosting on some of the sugar leaves.
Hello, I've had similar issues almost every grow of mine mid flower.. although I have still had successful harvests each time I've found that most of the time a slurry pH test of the media as well as a runoff pH test put me out of pH range due to salt buildup in my media and a slightly acidic base media (peat moss).. Not sure if this is your issue but Id start with the slurry test at 1:1 media to water ratio using whatever water you'd use for regular watering (not feeding) generally dechlorinated tap or pH buffered RO and see if you're in correct pH range and then you can flush with pH buffered water to get you back to where you need to be as well as remove any buildup. But remember to hit them with a half or 3/4 dose of nutes the day after the flush to avoid severe issues there, may seem super overwatered for the first couple days but should recover much better and stronger. Hope it helps..
Been a struggle keeping temperatures down and had a driver failure on my lights so was only running at 50% for a day. Running under a 600W Lush Pro COB LED with a heavy blurple spectrum. All in all the week progressed well; buds have started to fatten up nicely with frosting throughout.
Cut nutrient strength in half but kept cycos recommended ratios. My EC meter malfunctioned so im kinda flying blind in that regard.
Noticed the tips getting worse even though nutrients were dropped and medium has been flushed. Upped the nutrients back to full strength and tips went green again. Beats me at this point but my suspicion is a PK hungry plant ?
Staggering updates for OPSEC.
Plant responded well to increased nutrients.. I digress it's still too hot but im going off the plants reaction. Pistil size has doubled with them sustaining double the thickness with all new growth. Ill keep going.
Harvest time is still a few weeks away.
I should probably mention that I've suspected for a while now my seeds got mixed up at germination and im actually growing a White Widow Auto and not a Purple Kush Auto. Whoops 🤦♂️ If you look at week 3 and compare it to other CKS WW Autos its a very distinct pheno that leans heavy on the sativa side early in veg before its indica dominance takes over.
Ill start monitoring Trichome colour as of next week. Buds have been fattening up nicely, still look a little airy to me.
Lollipopped half the plant and dried some of the trim out and gave it a taste. Quite tasty but a few weeks to go yet I suspect. I'll leave the trim on the plant still infront of the fan to stop it leeching too much humidity out of the buds.
End of next week is advertised flowering time for this plant. But we'll see how we go.
Wormcasting tea diluted and fed at the start of every second day (was previously added after every flush)
Im aware I dont want too much nitrogen this late in flower, I compensated by lowering the dose of B1 which is high in nitrogen.
Explosive results. Highly recommend reading about the benefits 👌
Ran my microscope over the canopy quickly and noticed about 60-70% milky with the odd amber here and there so we're a ways off yet.
My plan for harvest is to flush her hard to pull on the brakes, just water for a few days reducing amount each time then lights out for 3 days prior to chop.
This last week has been great. Buds are coming to the end maturing . Trichomes are approximately 80% - 90% milky with 10% Amber. Inside the tent the smell has increased a lot. I hope the foxtailing hasn't ruined the bag quality by much but should be potent as 👌
Very calming high and perfect for creative mind exploration. Taste of slight citrus with earthy undertones. Buds are a bit airy for my liking but chops up perfectly. Of course this is all due to user error, this strain just performed no matter what I did to it.
Harvest was rushed due to unforeseen events. No matter though. Gave her a very rough wet trim and hung each branch from my scrog net. Drying process was also rushed and my A/C failed just before the finish line so they are a bit dry and not AS flavourful as it could have been. They have been curing for 2 weeks - 3days.
Still better than anything I can buy within a 300km radius and overall one of the best bowls I've smoked in years.
Important Lessons:
- Accurately monitor PH/TDS/EC.
- Smaller pot size (?)
- Feed way less nutrients (especially for
autoflowers)
- More reliable and cost-effective way of
adjusting Temp/RH
I'm still a little lost and don't understand exactly what occurred here...ONE plant?!?! How haha? Very very well done, my friend. Amazing training game and your lights must be stellar to enable such growth. This plant is going to be BEEFY! Following along and looking forward to seeing late-stage flower. Keep it up!
@TCH0808, Thanks for the kind words friend. Its well appreciated.
Surely an accident 🤣 Is now a good time to mention that ive been using a liquid PH kit with iodine for calculating my PH. Both my EC and PH meters failed within a week of each other 🤦♂️🤷♂️
@Satax, It would be great if there were a lot of diaries with this strain grown in particular to see how mine compares but thanks for your compliments mate 🤙
