These girls are explosive, the pre-flower trim down didn’t last long at all, as it shows in the photos defoliating these autos prior to flower doesn’t always stunt or stress the plant too much. Mine have made a full recovery within days and continued to grow at an incredible rate. The flowering has begun, a beautiful sight to see on these girls! No signs of stress, no signs of deficiency or overfeeding, and so far im very impressed with this strain and my methods of growing it. I have switched over to the VitaLink HydroMax Bloom now, straight in with 3ml per L - Risky but i think these girls can handle it! continuing the matrix and zyme throughout including regular nitrozyme foliar spraying. Feeding it still on constant pump / cycle and the lights are still on 18’s. Again i want to stress how great nitrozyme performs throughout your grows! if you dont already use it, i mix 1 cap full with a full sprayer bottle of water around 500ml.
@DankDudez, very well done, Dark devils are not so easy. but it looks as i youve done a lot things right. they loved to grow without soil or medium that keeps them.
@Mrs_Larimar, Thank you for following this one, this is my first ever Auto grow so its been hit and miss at the best of times, a learning curve most definitely! These are now soon to be totally harvested other than the 2 i have already done. Keep your eyes peeled!
@Mrs_Larimar, Hydro in NFT is very much a missed method nowadays, as beginner as it is, its also very complex due to the root spreading and interlocking root mass, so if one plant gets bad, you cant pull it out. Precision with water is crutial. But yes i totally agree, my methods have tweaked a lot from running photos in an NFT to Auto's, but i think we have it nearly nailed :)
@Sweet_Seeds, not a problem at all! Only had 1 seed not germinate and 1 dwarf out a little, but other than that they are really reacting well to these growing methods. The room is a temporary room but once i start my next it will be complete. I will be adding week 7 flower photos shortly.
Thanks again for the reply!
