PINK RUNTZ AUTO FLOWER

What’s Up Y’all!!!! Honestly, I don’t know if this would be considered “Veg” stage, however, I wanted to update y’all on where we at! As y’all can see we got some good growth. There hasn’t been any nutrients used just PH’d water and a spray bottle every so often. Since it’s an auto I think I am going to start using a small amount of nutrients within week 2.

What’s up y’all!!?? Week 2 is officially underway. As of now I’ve just been watering with regulars PH’d water and using a mist bottle every now and then. As you can see it’s growing healthy and faster than I expected. I got some burning on the leaf tips which I’m not sure why, but it seems to be fading away now. This week I am going to start using a half recommended dose of Flora Series and Cal Mag and gradually increase form there. I’ll update y’all in 7 days 🕴️🏿

What’s up y’all!!?? Week three shocked me! I haven’t really done much to the plant besides a side watering and Cal Mag. I left town for a few days so I didn’t want to start nutrients until I’d be back. I came home to this grow being another 3 - 4 inches taller than when I left! Need to be watered immediately but the growth was insane compared to last week. Going into this week I will start half dosage of nutrient feeding.

What’s up y’all!!?? I started with nutes this week. Since this is my first grow I wanted to keep it simple. Generals Hydroponics Flora Series for the win 🏆 Just 1 teaspoon of each. I may alter later down the line, however, I figure I’d start small. As y’all can see this plant has grown tremendously since last Sunday. I haven’t changed anything aside from the nutes. Still feeding about two times a week. I’m sure I’ll start having to feed more often as the plant gets bigger. I will say, that little patch of brown is coming back on the same set of leaves. Im not sure why. I’ll be keeping my eye on it. However, thus far I’m really impressed with this grow now. I’m 4 weeks in, I'm sure I’ll be moving into flower soon.

What’s up yall!!?? So we are definitely into our early / pre flower stage. I didn’t think we’d get here so fast but we here and the real work is about to start. Last week I definitely shocked the plant by over feeding with nutrients. I used the feeding chart on the Flora Series box and the plant reacted negatively. I did a light flush with water PH’d at 5.8 just to get those extra nutrients out of the medium. New feeding formula is reduced quite a bit. ——————————————————————————— BUD SITES EVERYWHERE !!!! As you guys see this baby is ready for flower like YESTERDAY! I am going to reduce the light intensity a bit to slow down the flowering and make sure the colas grow nice and dense and also give the undeveloped bud sites to catch up. Disclaimer- I’m no pro, I’m just trying techniques I’ve read on here and seen on YouTube. If I see that isn’t working I will return to the normal light intensity

What’s up yall!!?? Week 6 and we got some serious buds growing in. Some of the sites that I thought wouldn’t produce actually surprised me. I haven’t changed much with this grow. I think the flush I did worked well and the plant seemed to react in a positive way. Trellis net and some LST just to get light down to the lower sites seem to have worked. No real change in nutrient and feeding. I do feed every watering so there I no skipping. I still use the General Hydroponics flora series and some cal mag. That’s literally all! See y’all in week 7

What’s up y’all!!?? Week 7 update is kinda bland. The bud sites are growing fuller which is exciting to see. A weak smell is apparent. Same feeding schedule as last week. I give a normal PH’d watering every few days in between the feedings just to get some of the nutrient build up out of the cocoa / perlite mix. I did a heavy defoliation in the beginning of the week. There are some lower bud sites which I’m hoping are getting more sunlight since I defoliated. Of course by the end of the week the leaves are back and big once again. I’ve been tucking them instead of putting the plant thru any further stress at this point. See y’all in week 8

What’s up y’all!!?? Week 8 deserved a video !!! The colas / bud sites are fattening up and starting to put on weight. I was concerned with the lower sites but they seem to be producing slowly but surely. I defoliate large fan leaves and make sure I keep the lower branches tied to the fabric pot to get as much light as they can. The plant is becoming sticky and the smell is getting more prominent. I turned up the air filter to help with the smell. Week 9 is approaching and we getting closer and closer to blowing our very first home grown bud!

What’s up y’all!!?? Week 9 got me getting antsy I can’t lie. The trichomes are very milky white. The leaves are turning a deep green and a few of them even turning purple. This grow is in a tent with a photoperiod which has just began flowering. For that reason the light cycle is 12/12 which isn’t ideal but I gotta work with what I have. I’m not expecting a crazy amount out of this grow because of the light cycle change but I think it’s doing well for the circumstances. I’m expecting a 12 maybe even 13 week finishing on this plant. The light cycle it’s on does slowdown the flowering stage just a bit. I have some lower branches which have popcorn nuggets. It’s not much so I’m not going to worry about cutting them. Especially not this late in the flowering stage. I find myself watering / feeding every other day. Maybe every 2 days.

I know it’s been a few weeks. I been traveling like crazy and haven’t really been home enough to get good pics of the plants. Here’s a photo dump of what the grow looks like now. One thing I’ve noticed is my leaves are a very dark purple compared to the other growers I’ve been seeing on here. Tell me what you think in the comments
