Something really strange happened: my autoflowering breed has started blooming at her fourth week. Looking on the internet I found out that it might be because of extreme conditions such as too high temperatures (although it was only 27 degrees) and dehydration, but still, I had been giving her enough water. I've also read that you shouldn't start training when the blooming's already started, but since the plat is still so small I wanted to try anyway. Since it is low stress training I think it shouldn't demage her. I'll wait and see what happens
Couldn't take care of her personally thi s week as I wasn't home, so my roommate did it. I'm very happy with the results, especially considering that the growing conditions aren't the best (it's been raining constantly this past week). I thought that she would've stop growing since she started the blooming phase, but she's actually growing faster that she was before. I'm not really sure how to properly do LST, still I did my best
She's still growing up and producing new leaves and her flowers are getting bigger too.
I'm really worried though, because some of her leaves are turning yellow and shows burn signs. I thought it was because of the hot weather, but her leaves should have been all bent down (this is what I read on the internet). Since the plant is overall healthy, I hope it's nothing to worry about.. I found out that it also might be caused by a potassium deficiency, so I'll try and give her some. All been said, I'm still really happy with the results and I love how she's doing
This past week has been a struggle. I keep my plants on the balcony during the day and in the grow box during night and I inspect every single of their leaves everytime I move them in or out. A few days ago I noticed some kind of microscopic egg on one of her flowers and then some sort of parasites under her leaves.
Since then: panic. I searched for the name of the parasite (acarus) and bought some neem oil which I applied manually on every leaf (to prevent it from going on the flowers) and onto the ground.
Since then the parasites are almost gone. But now she has these "sad" leaves, with their points bent down and the margins as well.. I've read different explanations, but I think in my it might be the high temperature and the overwatering, together with the dammed fungus flies. I'll keep going with the neem oil and diminish the water. The flies invasion might be the reason for the yellow leaves as well. Since all the big ones are turning yellow I can't cut them risking she can't absorbe enough sunlight
Apart from all this, her flowers are still growing, love her
In the last two weeks I had some problems taking care of her, I was out most of the time and it kept raining. She's really doing her best and the flowers, even though they're small, are nearly ready. Still having a lot of troubles with mites, I hope I'm not gonna end up smoking them🤢🤣 Also, I have to keep using neem oil and I know it's going to effect the taste, but I really can't do anything else
