Week 0- Placed seeds between two paper towels as always...Place container ontop of my fridge for some heat to increase humidity.
Can't wait to start the new grow.
First time trying Christiania Seed Bank autoflower range.
3× Alpha King Autoflowers.
This week basically was just feeding the soil with molasses ( 5ml per 1 litre ). And Reverse osmosis water.
Environment control during this stage is of high importance. Since the plant is moving from its adolescence to teenagehood, so to say lol, it's really vital to keep the conditions steady.
Other than that, this week was a breeze.
Thanks to any and everyone that's viewing my diary, I do appreciate the support. 💚🌿
I was abit worried about her size last week, but she definitely filled up nicely, getting taller and bushy...I haven't fed her any nutrients as yet. Normal H20 feeding.
Even though I was tempted to boost her appearance by giving some nutes
This week was abit stressful..Her size did double but for week 6, she is behind schedule.
I added some Alfalfa meal ( dry amendment) to her top dressing.
She loved it, I could tell because the morning after the feeding she did a lil dance for me hehehe 😜 😋..
I broke the mainstem performing LST😬🙄😳...Idiot 🎭...
Repaired her with some tape, Guess no more LST training for her hehehe..
Actually, she started performing better after the break 🤷♂️...So perhaps it was a blessing 🙌.
No nutes,No problems
Week 7 Mid, She started showing her first flowering pistils.
I was very worried I was gonna harvest quite a small autoflower, because of her stunned growth in previous weeks.
But week 7 until now...after the break during LST...She took off like a jet! Doubled in size and width..
Besides the living soil, I only gave some alfalfa tea and she responded soo well!
I am so proud of her!!
NB...I also switched the light schedule to 24hrs per day for the last 2 weeks.
The past 5 days she showed heavy deficiencies, Fan leafs started browning hectically. Ontop of that her growth isn't where I would like her to be especially in this stage.
So researched , went through alot of podcasts lol..
Decided to purchase bottled nutrients for this run to see how she reacts aswell to tell the difference between organic and bottled nutes...for My own comparison.
5 days later after her first bottled feed...I must say damnnn!! She exploded and even started looking more healthier than when she first started.
This week I decided to start feeding her some nutes.
She went through some serious lollipopping aswell 😳..😆!!
So she basically received a bloom booster ( 1: 12:12 ), I also added some potassium booster ( 0:0:35 ).
I think she loves her nutes alot! She gave me a good stretch and formed much more bud sites which has me all excited 😊..
This week was abit easy...
Only thing that was really necessary was ensuring that the temperature and Humidity were/is/currently stable..
Without any significant in/decreases 😕..
Gave her a lil extra H20 because she is getting really hungry recently..
I was a little confused when she was not packing on size for the last 2 weeks...
But all of a sudden she got thick...super thick!! 😳😁..
Tricombes glistening aswell..
She is turning out to be a really good looking plant..
@Frosted_Nuggets, I noticed that Autoflowers..This is my opinion...Don't really respond well with nutes during the veg stage..I prefer to rather have a soil mix that will feed her through-out her entire veg stage..
Once flowering begins I will adjust her nutes dependent on the deficiencies I see..
You may also wanna consider bumping your temperature to 25 Celsius and your humidity to somewhere around 75% during the day and around22 Celsius and 70% at night, to create a more hospitable environment. Just food for thought ;)
@Salokin, I appreciate your advice 🙏. Well it is running about the same measurements.
But she still seems like she's abit delayed.
You making me stress here haha!
@SirBudAlotts, maybe go down a little depending on how much stretch you want mine are usually getting 150 ppfd up to week 3 and then I would up it slightly on a weekly basis. Above 250 might be a little strong for a seedling. Also get yourself a VPD chart online and see which values are achievable for you. You can also DM me, maybe easier….
@Salokin, okay so I have 2 LED Quantum boards. Each is reading 220-280 PPFD, at 35CM from the canopy in a space of about 80x80.
Yes I noticed that too. She is lacking in size.
I won't say it's genetics as yet. But I do think it's playing its role.
As my previous harvest, I used the same LED boards, and got quite a decent harvest.
Ser frem til at se mere til dig grow brow. Er du fra dk som mig ❤️. 😉. 🙏🏼. Har du mulighed for at hjælpe med at få frø fra øen har selv været i rødstue i 2år
