Lemon Gelato x Sour Apple Auto

Not much to say about this week with this one. Seems a little slow and it probably due to some issues with humidity, light leaks in resivour and needing more oxygen in my resivour buckets. (See my first grow diary for more details) I made some upgrades and got some good numbers in my tent. Not using tap water and have switch to filtered for a slight upgrade. Also installed a small cool mist humidifier and now it's starting to get proper humidity levels. Now I have a more powerful air pump and now has two air stones inside. Getting some sweet bubble action now. Should probably start to see some sort of root or roots pop out of the net pot this week. And I added some cut out paper plates rings to cover the edge of the net pot to prevent further light leaks. Hopefully it perks up with the new upgrades and starts to flourish.

This one is doing pretty good this week. New leaves are starting to grow out and there are some really nice roots growing since I started adding silica and hydroguard to the mix. Seems to really like it. Not a whole lot to report on this one. She's doing well and will keep the nutes light for another week before I give it a little boost. And will do a water change either tonight or tomorrow morning on 2/13.

This one I am not sure about. This one always seems kinda meh. Not doing bad but not really exploding yet. Decided to bump the nutes on this one too and will see if it just needed a boost. Hopefully this will do the trick to get her going

This one definitely perked up with the boost of nutes last week. I noticed a little burn spot on one of the leaves. And noticed up close that the tips of the leaves are showing a bit of nute burn. It so very subtle. When it gets it's next rez change I will dial it back just a tad and keep a close eye on it. But looks really good to me I think. Also found my plant ties.. YES!! So I did some LST on her on 2/25. Had it pretty much sideways and now it curved it's self back up. :)

This one is taking off. Did not do a change yet since it didn't mind the nutrient boost. but plan on doing it tomorrow. So I will keep it at this level until she tells me otherwise lol. This auto flower is kinda like my guinea pig. Been trying to see if can do all of the above I wanted to try out. Boosted nutes, LST and I cut the top of this plant about 3 days ago and it didn't even flinch. Probably going to just leave it at that. Still growing and getting a bit bigger. I noticed some pre flowering. And since I started doing LST. I noticed these fan leaves are praying harder than any of my other plants. I will keep an eye on it

This one is starting to show early signs of flowering. Still doing some LST and that's about it. Changed the nutes for the transition. Looking good so far. I can't really complain. :)

This is starting to flower really nicely. Did a little bit more LST on the branches to try to get a nice even canopy. Haven't done a rez change yet but plan on doing in the next day or so since it been doing well and gradually drinking water. I will go full flower mode with the nutes going forward and try the same amount I was giving my other plant (Sweet Skunk Auto diary) and then make adjustments if needed. I really like how she's turning out.

This week has been going great for this one. Lots of side branches getting much taller and had to do a little bit LST to get things even. Now it's looking good. Flowering a lot and stretching. Giving her the same amount as my other dwc grow(sweet skunk auto) and doesn't mind at all. It's hard to determine the smell since my other one is blooming and taking over 😆. I think it does but it's very faint. I'm sure in the next few weeks that will change. I really like the nutes I have been using. I think following the instructions and going full strength as soon as possible doesn't hurt these autos. If anything I think they really like it. Hopefully I have the same results with this one like my sweet skunk auto.

This week has been going very well for her. She's getting a little bit bigger every day. Buds are starting to get a little bit more swelled up. I can get a little bit of a smell from her but it's very weak at the moment. I haven't done a rez change yet. But will keep the nute strength the same since she really likes it. I am starting to notice a bit more of water intake. So I will probably replenish that in the next day or so since it's that time. Not a whole lot to report really. And that's a good thing 😁

Really starting to flower and starting to notice the buds getting bigger. I was being very frequent with my rez changes with my other diary I just finished. This grow has taught me to let the rez bucket get down more than half way before changes. Plus I really hate to waste nutes. So I now have a bit of a better grasp on this part of growing. The slightly new space can allow her to stretch and get big but not really sure if this one will grow that much more. She really looks like she has the potential to be super frosty. But we shall see 😀 Going to keep the nutes the same until she is finished. I'm sure this one will be done in a few weeks ish

This week has been great. Did a rez change a few days ago and will have to do another soon. Going to keep using the same amount as before. Did noticed the ppm going up s little more than usual after a few days after a rez change. Usually starts off at 920 give or take anf then climbs to like 1030 give or take. The pH was at 6.2 but went down to 5.9. Stil within a good target numbers but thought I should record this just in case I am wrong. Starting to notice the buds are getting much bigger but still not quite there yet. Noticing some fan leaves are starting to die off or they are starting to showing early signs. I'm guessing this one will be done in about 2 more weeks from now but we will see. The smell is very unique and can't quite figure it out. But it does smell very good tho. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Sorry for the late entry for this grow. Got a new job and have been pretty much busy with that and haven't had any time for this diary. About 3 weeks ago I had reduced the strength of her food to half and the the past two weeks it's been nothing but pH water only. The past 3 days I just used plain tap water only. I'd say these past few weeks the smell has been extremely overwhelming in a good and bad way 😆. Glad to get it out of my closet and just chopped her down and is drying in my tent. Temps are about 61 degrees and 62 humidity currently inside there. Hopefully this will have a much slower dry time than my first grow. It will be weeks until I update with smoke report. Even though it's definitely not going to be a big yielder. It going to be better quality than my first finished diary. I plan on doing photoperiods going forward. Going to give the autos a break for now. And I am only doing one diary at a time. Having to many running at the same time is a very time consuming with my new schedule. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will have a new one started. Thanks for checking this diary out. 😁🌱
