Welcome to my Apple Fritter Auto Diary Sponsored by Zamneisa.
Veg Days 15-19
Growing well. She has the pedigree so far. To be a auto "pheno" that accepts a top without flipping her. It's early days yet. Went a bit extreme on the defoliation. All major fan leafs have been removed. Risky with an auto. But she hopefully has a week r 2 left in veg. She's healthy. Applied LST today, I'm delighted I restarted this girl.
VD 20&21
Growing well. Bounced back nicely. And is pushing out some nice nodes. If only I knew she would veg for another 10-14 days I'd top her more. But, I'm not gonna push it.
Diet: Been keeping it the same since week 2. 630-670ppm 3:1:3 G/B/M Jungle Juice Trio.3ml/L-.1ml/l-.3ml/l 630ppm-670ppm. PH 5.8-6. water solution 15-16c. Aswel as these, I've been using some of Terra Powers Root stims and Enzymes, mostly Atlas the past 10 days or so. As I reused my Light/ coco mix from Biobizz. Atlas breaks down dead roots and turns into beneficial nutrition.
Height/Girt/Issues
She's 25.5cm tall. All fan leafs have been removed. She was topped late wk 2. Has 4 nodes. 2-3set. 1st set removed as they're often weak. She's pushing outwards and is doing well. No real issues. Though at this stage of growth. They're rarely any issues unless you're messing up big.
Lights: P1000 for veg at 100% as Frosted Guava is flowering. I have it set at 80 cm away. Checked on my cheap lux meter. She's hitting 460umol. Co2 is ambient for now. Co2 liquid and vapor will be used. Won't be until she moves into my new co2 tent. An FC4800 will be used in a 90cm2 DR with Co2 enrichment kit. Just waiting on the nod from my sponsor for the new light and I'll push ahead with a full pro-leaf kit ,"partly sponsored". My autos will be on the outskirts of my tent. So I'll just be keeping my co2 level at 1000-1200 ppm. I'll be using gas. But, as I will have a full sensor kit I'll be trying out exhale bags to see can I raise the co2 up enough for veg 7-900ppm. Coming into the summer so keeping up a 30-33c temp should be easy. Decided to add the SF-1000 as it has a different spectrum I've set it at 15% for ax few hours. Maybe until 2moro. It's already shocked my seedlings and I was adjusting it. But was at 100%. And left for about 20m as phone rang and they shocked. Will turn to 100% in 12hrs.
Set at 80cm away.
@Patricia_Zamnesia, Thx. I planted another. As this 1 I find is much further behind. I'm hoping when she leaves the seedling stage. She'll push past it. But, have another going as a backup. Will be having apple fritter either way. Look forward to getting Wedding Cake Fem going after the summer.
Thanks for everything.
@Patricia_Zamnesia, she's done pal.. not huge buds, but super dense. Was a new thing HST'in and then topping, she had very few nodes. Got close to 50g. All buds are rock hard. Runtz clocked 90+g frosted Guava 80+g very larfy but super frosty.. All will be added and rated after a month's cure. All are very lovely. Easy 8s without cure. So they're gonna be good after full cure & tests. Thanks for the strains
@Hydro_Hiebs, I'm big on that too.
Many an auto I've not bothered to do any LST even fems defo got to do with the stretching. As the leaf sites are blocked/shaded out in pre flower the buds stretch in search for more core coverage. Especially using static lights if you don't LST, At minium to avoid excess stretching you should rotate your girls at least twice in the lights on session.
