-3/5/23 Diary Start
-3/5/23
--foreword: this is 1 of 4 auto flower plant started at the same time. This is the first time I have tried growing auto flower cannabis.
--Soil: used reclame soil form previous plants mixed with more worm casting and perlite, the Buildasoil Craft Blend and buildabloom was used as soil amendments.
--put into soil about a centimeter or two under surface, tried to get it in the middle of the pot. Soil received about a letter of water before inserting seed and then a light misting of the top.
-3/8/23 Well I put cover crop in the soil and it has started growing, making weird fluffy pockets under the surface. Also I feel like its going to make it hard to tell when the cannabis seed starts sprouting.
-3/9/23 watered the top with about 10 oz. cover crop is growing faster than expected and is making it hard to identify the cannabis seedling, if it has even sprouted yet.
-3/11/23 still can't tell if the cannabis seed has sprouted, cover crop is doing well. Will keep checking every day and when I can see the cannabis seedling I will start week one.
-3/13/23 still cant spot the cannabis, sprayed with just enough water to make the top layer of soil most.
-3/17/23 well still couldn't spot the cannabis seed sprouting. Removed the cover crop that was growing in the center and added new soil, then new seed of the same type was added. Sprayed the surface with water and put back under the light.
-3/22/23 still can not confirm that the cannabis has sprouted, there is a seedling that is poking through the soil that still has its casing on it. It may be the one I'm looking for, will check again tomorrow.
-3/23/23 the seedling that was in question yesterday was in fact the cannabis, cover crop seedlings around it were pulled to give space.
-3/25/23 doing okay, now has is spade leaves but they look like they may be showing signs of nutrient deficiency. Spade leaf tips are light green, rest of the seedling look fine. Will be watching for problems in the next few days, may give some added nutrients if it looks like it is getting worse.
-3/25/23 Week End
-3/26/23 Week Start
-3/29/23 doing good but the tips of the spade leaves are light green. Stretched so much that it was falling over into the cover crop.
-4/1/23 still having problems standing straight up, also looks like it may be having problems. the light green streaks are getting more pronounced, but despite that happening it seems to be growing at an okay rate.
-4/1/23 Week End
-4/2/23 Week Start
-4/4/23 doing good and growing at a good rate. Still has some light green strips on all its leaves bit that doesnt seem to be slowing it down. Chop and dropped the cover crop then watered and sprayed.
-4/6/23 this plant may stay striped like a watermelon it entire life. Looks cool but makes me think there is something wrong. Plant doesn't seem to be having problems growing so I'm going to try ignoring the fact that it is striped.
-4/8/23 growing quick, still striped but it seems like that's not going to change. Hopefully that stripe transfers to the buds.
-4/8/23 Week End
-4/9/23 Week Start
-4/9/23 still striped. hope its not a disease and is just the way this pheno grows.
-4/13/23 started LST today by adding some tie downs
-4/14/23 well found that the top had corrected its direction and tried to move tie down to lay it out again, but when I tried yo straighten the top out the main stem snapped right above the first set of shade leaves. Hopefully it can recover and have the two branch node make up for the loss of the top. Planted the top of the plant, maybe it will take root and provide enough for a pipe pack.
-4/15/23 well still recovering from the removal of the top, still upset about this one braking.
-4/15/23 Week End
-4/16/23 Week Start
-4/19/23 recovering well from having the top half break off, top half looks like it's doing well in starter cup.
-4/22/23 Replaced tie down and is starting to boost growth for the branches. Top half has not rooted yet but doesnt look like its dying.
-4/22/23 Week End
-4/23/23 Week Start
-4/24/23 added new tie downs to help spread the branches so they have their own space
-4/29/23 still no pre-flower, recovering nice from the topping
-4/29/23 Week End
-4/30/23 Week Start
-5/6/23 well the branches are boosting and creating many secondary branches, might have to defoliate at the end of next week. Should show start of pre-flower by the end of next week, interested in seeing how topping compares to doing nothing and the super bend LST.
-5/6/23 Week End
-post note: to all the haters out there that say cloning auto-flower plants isn't possible, I now have proof that it is possible and I will be tracking my auto-clones progress until it gets harvested.
-5/7/23 Week Start
- Week 1 flower
-5/13/23 seen that hairs have started forming, should be in full pre-flower mode by the end of nest week. Clone is looking good, last original shade leaf came off. New growth is a dark green and small, hope to be able to permanently remove the humidity cover sometime next week.
-5/13/23 Week End
-P.S. well forgot to put the cover back over clone after tacking picture, it was without cover for about 24h. Clone may not make it now, if it doesnt then I will be trying again with the next auto that I top.
-5/14/23 Week Start
--week 2 flower
-5/20/23 removed some shade leaves and some branches that were in bad locations this week. Looking like it might put out an ounce and a half or more. Top that was cloned died because I forgot to put the dome back on it after taking pics last week, 24h was enough to kill it throughout the week.
-5/20/23 Week End
-5/21/23 Week Start
-week 3 flower
-5/27/23 doing good, pre-flower is looking great. Looking forward to trying this one, hope it really does taste like watermelon.
-5/27/23 Week End
-5/28/23 Week Start
--week 4 flower
-5/29/23 started what was going to be a light defoliation but found aphids so it turned into a heavy defoliation. May have removed a little to much but at least a large quantity of aphids are gone. Hope it recovers by the end of the week or doesnt even skip a beat.
-6/3/23 doing good, still looking like its going to give more than the other autos I started at the same time.
-6/3/23 Week End
-6/11/23 Week Start
--week 6 flower
-6/17/23 still doing really good, starting to look like it will end with 3 huge colas and some smaller buds
-6/17/23 Week End
-6/18/23 Week Start
--week 7 flower
-6/24/23 selective defoliate, watering every other day. Still has aphids but not as much as the other plants.
-6/24/23 Week End
-6/25/23 Week Start
--week 8 flower
-7/1/23 doing great and should have a nice harvest when ready. May be a few more weeks before it's ready to harvest.
-7/1/23 Week End
-Week Start
--week 9 flower
-7/8/23 starting to get some burn tips, could be fade but not sure. Still needs like 2 or 3 weeks, starting to get sweet sent.
-7/8/23 Week End
-week 11 flower
-7/22/23 buds starting to get to heavy for the branches but it should be fine. Still getting sweeter in scent, smells really good to me.
-week 12 flower
-7/29/22 shade and sugar leaves are starting to die off to the point where they are leaving dead stuff inside the nug clusters. This is the last day for this plant and will be chopped at the end of its light cycle.
-7/29/23 cut off all the dead and almost/mostly dead shade and sugar leaves. Removed each branch from the main stem and started hang dry, will check in 5 days to see if it is ready for trimming/curing.
