Germination with a coffee bag and water. Hanged it in a dark closet for a few days. The pot system is an autopot system with a 47L water resevoir. The soil i use is PLAGRON bat mix and a little bit of seedling soil.
Put the 3 seeds in the 20L bags with the seedling soil and batmix. I like to use bat mix because it provide nutrients for the first 6/7 weeks for feminized and auto-flowers. I add a little bit of perlite to give the roots more air for growth.
After 14 days (end of week 2) the plants are doing really good, i give them a little bit extra water to ensure the soil didn't dry out when i was gone for a full day. The leaves formed a little bit due of a little bit to much water. The humidity is 65% and i still feed only water without nutrients. All plants grow the same hight and width. Pictures are from 07-01-23, happy new year growers!!
Number 1 and 2 are growing insane... nr 3 stay behind. Started with a little bit of training by pressing the leaves. Next week i will add bending clips or wire for LST
Topped once, because it are auto flowers it was only 1 time topping. I moved the leaves on daily basis to the sides. The girls grow super fast and become bigger by the day! Love these results :) Goodjob by Fastbuds!!
Still no nutrients! What a week! A lot of growth and the leaves get bigger and bigger. I broke the main stem on the top so topped that part because the infection will be bigger than the cut. Just put the leaves a little bit down to give space to the lower flowers.
This is the first week of flower, hope she is gonna stretch a evenly. Still no nutrients, just switcht the PH to 6.1 because of too much nitrogen intake due the high PH. I defoliate the plants to give the coming tops more lightning and create more air movement. Also have spots on some leaves, what do you think it is? See you next Sunday!
The middle plant show some spots on the leaves, what do you think it is? 😜 Note: I lower the PH in my autopot system to 6.1. Normaly my bat mix have enough nutrients for the first 6 weeks. The dark color is because of the higher PH > to much Nitrogen intake I think.
Damn... that isn't pretty, is it?! You're right about the dark color coming from too much nitrogen - and that toxicity has probably led to a lockout of other nutrients which won't be fixed without flushing your plant. If at all possible (and I know it might NOT be possible given the fact you've scrogged) you need to run 15 gallons of pH'd water through her adding in 1/2 strength nutes in the final gallon. You should also add a dose of calmag as more of a preventative at this point. If flushing isn't possible, give her only plain pH'd water for the next week.
And finally, this particular lady needs a good PK booster as what I think I'm looking at here is the beginning of both a phosphorus and postassium deficiency. All of the ladies will appreciate both the calmag and the PK booster ... calmag because it's this particular point in any grow that a calcium deficiency will raise its head... and the PK will work hard on the buds helping them get to their full potential.
Good luck!
Im pretty sure that this girl is gonna produce nice tops! (if we can control her feedings) They drink around 5 liters of PH water each 2 days. Leaves look better this week.
Sunday update:
The ladies are still growing. After a week of lowering the PH, I started feeding my coco nutrition through the autopot system. This food works well for my feminized photoperiod ladies.
Still, I start low because I see a slow decrease in nutrition in the soil.
I also applied defoliation to the ladies to get more light penetration.
This is my first run with a purple strain. Hopefully the color is also partly due to genetics.
See you next week, and as always. Any tips are welcome :)
The ladies switch a lot in decencies and to much nutrients. Its been a few years that I grown auto flower. With an autopot system it is much harder for these species.
Friday Update: This buds are shining under my SP3000 leds, in the beginning i was thinking I had some deficiencies but i think the leaves where more coloring due the genetics.. LOL But now the buds are big and very smelly.. I can't wait to taste these buds.
