Sorry to get a late start on this girl. I originally started this auto for outdoors. But the autos I started a month earlier all got some type of bud rot mold or mites so I had to harvest early. It’s one thing when you have 7 plants that have to be harvested early but harvesting one plant early isn’t worth it in my opinion. So prob not going to do outdoor anymore I’ve mastered indoor but I’ve wasted way too much money on outdoor which is supposed to be cheaper. Anyway this is now I’m my window with lots of supplemental lighting plus additional window light. This is the best genetics I’ve gotten so far for an auto so let’s hope it produces. I’ve grown other autos in that window with the same setup and got decent results:

Plant really hit growth. I’d say with the bud growth it will grow another 2 inches. Trichomes are just starting to coming I as well as smell. Gave it a mild top feeding of bio flower which is .74-1.1-.5 on NPK. Combined with a compost tea i started today to brew for 24 hours before applying. I make a homemade compost tea made up of compost, worm castings, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, epsom salt, fish emulsion, and molasses. The lights I am using are all for veg or just supplemental lighting. Combined with about 1 hour of morning light on a few fam leaves and a couple hours of light on some fan leaves during the day. The sun is so high in the sky rn it gets less light than it does in the fall and winter. Not to mention the vegetation blocks the sun in the summer as well. But any light even if it’s just on fan leaves helps. I’d say about 6 weeks to go. Correct me if I’m wrong. Unfortunately my ph down liquid burned through the bottle and the plastic bag I kept it in. So will have to use distilled water until I get more ph Down lol.

Is it safe to use distilled water if I have no PH down formula? My ph down formula burned through the bottle and even through the plastic bag I had the bottle in. I am ordering more ph down but this is all I have until then. I’ve given it 3 waterings with it and it looks fine4now

Hi. Actually won't lower the PH of your water but lower ur EC. Until ur PH adjuster gets 2u. Add either lemon/lime juice 0.05ml /L r as much as needed. This is ok for a few feeds, it'll see u through.

Gave it mild nutrient burn with the combination of the top feeding and compost tea. Nothing major but will only give ph water for now. Also could be a ph problem as my ph down leaked out of the bottle and had to order a new one and was giving distilled water until today. Distilled water is 7.0 so messed the ph a little bit. Other than that it’s looking really good. Trichomes are coming in. Buds are fattening up. Smell is coming in mostly nutty and fuely. Waiting for the caramel cream terps which I’m sure will come in a week or 2.

Added DIY supplemental co2. Using water sugar and yeast. Buds on the caramel cream auto are getting fat and just starting to produce red hairs. Trichome coverage is slightly above average. I’m hoping it’s got about 3.5 weeks to go. We shall see. Been only giving it plain ph water as I gave it mild nutrient burn but not too bad. Whenever it gets too hot in there I turn on the AC for a bit and keep the ac on through out the night. Other than that not much to say. See u next week

Added a very minimal amount of molasses to help fatten up those buds. Now just plain ph water. Buds r getting dense and hairy plus the colors are coming in now. Took off the crispy leaves. About 2 weeks to go(I think) smells very nutty with a strong kush odor. Sweet but still no caramel flavor

Final 8 days. Watered it today and will water it on the 12th and 16th. Then I will dry it out for 4 days b4 chop. I take down individual branches(which there are only 3 main branches on this one due to my pruning and defoliation. Which I will say I’m glad I took off the bottom 2 branches bc the top buds r some of the biggest densest and smelliest I’ve seen on an autoflower. Makes me want to grow the photoperiod of this. Other than the mild nutrient burn I gave it a month ago nothing went wrong. I wouldn’t even say i burned it just mild leaf tips were crispy but it recovered. I was even able to give it a very small amount of molasses the final 3 weeks.

Smoke is amazing. Barely needs a cure to even taste good. I’m sure a nice cure would bring the sweet caramel flavor out as there is a hint of it in the smoke. But I’m low on weed so this would have to do.
the end.
