Auto Ultimate - Two Plant Grow

They’re growing in a mix of coco coir and some depleted soil from a previous run. Only added nutes are ewc that were amended into the soil prior to planting. Trying hard to keep the root zone moist without overwatering. I’m finding that difficult with a new plant in such a large pot. Still, growth seems adequate so far. Using r/o water and two 200w phytomax II’s. No thermometer, hygrometer, ph testers or any other testing equipment. Fingers crossed!

Things are looking alright so far. Unfortunately, I tried tying some leaves back to get more light to the branches and cut almost an entire leaf off of plant A early on. Suck. Hopefully it doesn’t slow it down too much.

So far, so good. Still have leaf curl on new growth, more of a clawing, really. I’ll keep an eye on it but feel like it’s getting ready to resolve on it’s own. Started feeding a guano and ewc tea on day 19, high in N, as well as gave them their first whole pot watering.

Lot going on. Still growing fine, but what I thought was overwatering looks more like nitrogen overdose. Shouldn’t have doubled down with that guano, oh well. I’ll be starting with dyna gro bloom nutes tomorrow cuz Plant B seems to be starting budding already. Plant A is getting ready to, too. Also, started training both girls earlier in the week. We’ll see where they go from here..

So the damage from my nitrogen overdose and phosphorous deficiency became really apparent on the first day of this week. Started bloom nutes immediately and it’s staved off the spread of the damage, but it seems hard to keep from overfeeding given how much N is already in the medium. Oh well. Plant A is lookin healthy still and seems to be about a week behind her sister as far as flowering goes goes. It’s looking like the leaves at the top are wilting a bit at the end of the night, so I’m either gonna increase the distance to the lights or switch to 18/6 if that doesn’t help. Hopefully I’ll stop causing myself problems here soon..

So whatever is wrong with plant b, the stuff I’ve been doing hasn’t helped much. I’m done messing with it, it’d probably just get worse. ILL treat it how I think it should be treated and hope for the best, while making sure to get ph testing gear before the next run. Wish us luck..

Still growing. Still dying. Yield will definitely be affected but I remain optimistic. Five weeks left after all, give or take. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

They’re still moving along. Finally got a ph soil test kit at least and both pots are tending more alkaline, PLant B especially. Trying to slowly adjust for that. Plant A was dealing with humidity issues in the end so I got two fans pointing its way and set the lights back to 20/4 and brought them back a bit closer. Did one last LST on them both and am staying hopeful. Fingers still crossed.

Plant B is toast. I’ve never had a plant turn so hard so quickly. Don’t get me wrong, it was already in poor health, but it’s barely salvageable at this point. DId a flush on day 62 or 63, but too little too late, ya know? So many misdiagnoses in the beginning led me to sit and wait it out longer than I could afford to. Sad days. Planning on harvesting her at the end of week ten. Plant A is looking okay still, buds are beginning to chunk up and definitely have more pistils per volume than Plant B ever did, even with its long buds.

I’ve dropped the dynagro and gone back to teas made from roots organic guanos. I flushed the bad one last week at the end and it finally seems to be coming around. I took a small branch off to test from Plant B, but I’m holding off on harvest for now. Plant A is startin to fatten up.

They’re finishing up okay. Plant B recovered enough to put out some decent buds all said and done and Plant A is full of small but tight little nugs. Plant B comes down at the end of this coming week and Plant A will probably go the week after. Feeling okay about things at this point.
