On the home stretch now with the checkered flag in sight 😋. ~50% cloudy trichomes and maybe 30% brown pistils. Gaining weight nicely, these are some dense buds. Early testing of popcorn tells me we're on to a winner here 😎
Quite clear now that the 'wrong' seed got sent. The two ladies are very different in shape and smell, but does help explain why i was struggling to feed them both from the same reservoir. Where 1st Lady was still hungry (purple stems) 2nd Lady was showing tip burn. 2nd Lady also showing signs of foxtailing. and now I'm on flush cycle and the res won't stay stable. Ph in at 6.4, overnight this raises to ~7. pH down to 6.4. Rinse and repeat. Let's hear it for the learning curve 😐...
Moving the tent has paid off and despite particularly damp weather have managed to get the RH down into the 40's without the dehumidifier raising temps above 26. Surfing the vpd curve all the way home (fingers crossed).
Came across an unusual leaf on 2nd Lady so whipped it off just in case. Wish i'd done my research first as flowers growing on a fan leaf are a rare and beautiful gift
@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
