Before writing anything, we need to go back to the first week where were dragons, gold piles and totally wrong soil.
Soil almost unalived our hero.
Too wet, normal soil for plants and not a mix of cococoir and perlite. Full first 5 days was waiting for a plant to pop out of the soil.
During 6th day I replanted her to the pot seen on the photo. Still living soil but at least not so wet. But I still managed to overwater her a bit.
Second week seen on the photo was the first week when she started growing. I started managing my water a bit better.
Why pen?
First, second, third and fourth week where grown under 150W CFL light and not knowing right height over my plant I managed her to stretch more than morgen latte.
But without spoilers to this story as you'll see her grow 😀
Earlier weeks were mostly fighting for her life.
During third week she was put in cococoir and perlite mix which boosted her growth.
When I saw that she'll make it back after transplanting she started receiving nutrients as well as better light.
As I'm not able financially to buy an LED panel and I've already prepared space for CFL, naturally I've bought larger CFL - 250w in a space 40 x 60 cm and it indeed boosted her growth.
Started showing first pistols on 25th of September and only sped up from that time in growth.
Few yellowing leaves where remains of hard third and fourth week of life she had.
As of today - new portion of nutrients
Plant's looking healthy. I stopped with LST because of being satisfied with results at the moment.
Buds forming, plant being healthier than ever
Second pot for second auto which will have own diary
Can't wait for crops
Growth sped up, from roughly 55 cm last friday to 85 cm today!
Flowers started to cover in resin :D
Smell went up a bit but nothing strong.
Added calmag because of leaves yellowing, other than that she looks healthy ^^
Within three waterings with ph 6.5 water I've added 1 ml calmag and that's everything.
Plant looking great
Flowers growing steady with stronger smell and seemingly larger than I expected.
Looking forward to next week :D
I grow this plant too. As an... old man I have to say that its a LARGE market. In a capitalist world. Anyone wants to sell or to buy something.
What you need really for this plant is a 30-30-30 just once at week 5.
Maybe twice for all her lifetime if the soil is a combust. Actually optional, supposed a good soil has everything for just 2 months.
If you have old soil, from old pots that already has some nutrients, let it in the rain, will be perfect for the next year.
😉
@Kekrops, Thanks! That's my first use of this soil and first grow. I'm already using knowledge gained in the earliest stages of first plant while growing second and first one stays as a plant to learn and observe which is keeping up pretty well should I say. She's still alive and thanks to community I can react faster to her deficiencies or nutrients lock (as happens to be a little overfed). I will keep with posting results the next week after feeding her water without nutrients. Thanks for the tips about the soil :D. Keep on growing!
