Struggling with keeping the climate in the tent right with high RH being a problem. The dehumidifier is great, but heats the room too much. Have moved the tent to a larger room and will see how the girls respond.
Last week of feeding, even though 1st Lady looks like she could run longer. The only downside of my autopot system is that both plants run off the same reservoir. The tank was topped up with pH'd water with what was left in there, the resulting mix is just under 150ppm. Next refill will be plain water pH'd to ~6.5.
First brown pistils are appearing and fan leaves are changing colour, so the timing seems about right.
note on the different pheno's - 1st Lady has quite yellow pistils and a cheesy smell with rounded buds all the way down the stem while 2nd Lady is more true to type, fruity berry smells and gaining a blueish tint with conical upper buds. Due to local laws they were purchased anonymously from a seed bank (Attitude, FTW) and there is every chance i got two different auto's altogether (they came stealth post in a hand labelled baggy)
@alung, i thought it was the dinafem XXL auto, no idea what it could be if it's not ! yeah man i hear yea , why no dispensary fair weight for a fair price 😭
@CRiSPrGrow, aw shucks... thanks man!
Any guesses on what strain the mysterious lady might be? The concept of a strain is new to me (started a year ago to get away from dealers) as I'm used to a selection of 'indoor' or 'bush'. This is my first really successful grow after 3 attempts with named seeds
@alung, lesson learned... move on, be the champion... there is talent there. Creativity requires the thought that freedom is possible. Looking forward to your next diary..🌱
@CRiSPrGrow, mate, it has spurred me into putting an offer on a house... biggest hassle with renting is not having sovereignty. worse still, the owners live next door :(
Still, managed to supply myself with ~4oz of prime smoke and now know what i want in a house. swings and roundabouts...
stay frosty pal!
@GreenZone, thanks! all the hard work is done and it's now a test of patience (which i suck at...) Gonna be a fun harvest, this is the biggest crop I've grown 😁
Hey bro! Awesome grow! I’m running in the Fastbuds iPhone contest , if you could stop by my 2xGSC-COCO journal and leave a comment I’d really appreciate it! Goodluck!
Both plants of our Blue Amnesia xxl auto are looking in great shape mate 👍
Definitely some phenotype variance going on which should make things interesting come harvest 😎
I'm all caught up now and will keep dropping in as this grow progress 👊
By the look of things, you look to be just over the half way point, would you agree?
Until next time ✌️
All the best
Mark..
@alung, Not a problem my friend and congratulations on the harvest 👌
Would love your thoughts on the flowers once fully dry and cured of course 👍
Thanks for the diary mate. Been our pleasure to follow along 👊
All the best ✌️
Mark..
@DinafemSeeds, Thanks Mark, great info and has been added to the knowledge bank 👍
On balance decided to err on the side of caution as it's my first run with autos and the two plants were finishing at different rates. Next time I will know better.
The seeds came from the same bag, but they were (for stealth shipping) re-packaged. That's most likely when things went wrong.
Thanks again for all the help
@alung, This is debatable mate. Some growers don't do any flush if using organic nutrients and some just taper down the feed to a very low dose until harvest
Now, I do organic growing and 14 days before harvest I reduce my feed. Then the final 7-10 days I just feed water to force the plant to use up all stored nutrients to leave a pure and clean end product 👊
You definitely have/had 2 phenos my friend. Did these both come from the same packet?
All the best ✌️
Mark..
@earlsmeds, thanks - yeah, figured I was underfeeding as I heard auto's need a lot less (plus i've overfed plenty in the past)
Looking better now I've upped their food
Haven't been measuring the coir pH as all food/water comes from the autopot reservoir which was pH5.7 and 260ppm and is now pH 6.1 and 540ppm
Yep the Plants took off as soon as your Balanced things out by hitting it with more A&B.
The CalMag you have is too heavy in "N"4-0-0 is pretty hot for Cal Mag..Better to source some with 2-0-0 or better yet 1-0-0
Most Calmag formula's 1ml per liter is all that you need if using RO water. 0.5 ml for Tap Water.
2ml per liter when Buffereing A Coco Substrate
What you had was either Calcium Toxic or Mag Def & Phos Def caused by too much Calcium and basically bugger else because your A&B was too low.
Seedling only require a low EC 0.6, nothing wrong with upping that to 1.0 or 1.2 EC. It wont burn them but it does ensure they are Getting everything they require from day 1.
If you want to run a low E.C. then its paramount to get the Balance right. Personally I don't run anything less than 1.0 EC unless flushing at the end
1,5 ml per liter minimum of A&B Any lower and you will not have a balanced Nutrient
Take a look at your Feed Pie Chart in week 4, thats where your Plants went ohhh Fuck this shit I aint Drinking Jack shit till he fixes it...lol
