Auto Bubblegum Extra (BulkSeedBank) [Organic - Basic Materials] x 5
Week 5: Feeding with Guano has begun. I'm starting slowly with a level teaspoon of each Guanokalong and Plagron per 2 l water to see how the plants react. GK has an aggressive smell whilst Plagron Guano makes you feel like you're right in the middle of a zoo's penguin house. Together with my coffee ground solution the smell of the feeding is fruity.
day 29: I measured the height of all the plants and it's ranging betweeen 16 cm for the smallest specimens and 24 cm for the tallest one progressing fast during stretch phase. As there''s no overfeeding with N certifiable my derivation is that Autos need high N supply.
day 30: The tallest plants turning a little brighter today, so i put twice the dosage of coffee grounds (32 grams) in the feeding (~2.5 l in total per day -- half a liter per plant) expecting this to result in a concentration of 320 mg N. Also i added a level spoon of molasses and each a level tea spoon of GK Guano and Plagron Guano again. I measure the pure water to be around PH 8.0 - 8.5. The final solution resulting in PH ~6.5.
day 32: Made a feeding with 16 grams of coffee grounds per Liter water, starting with PH ~ 8.2. After extracting 2 days the final feeding got PH ~ 5.0 showing how much the cofffee grounds still contain.
Just found this one:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8635921/#:~:text=These%20studies%20indicate%20the%20optimal,Saloner%20and%20Bernstein%2C%202021).
Pointing out that the optimal dosage of N using organic fertilizers is 390 mg per liter for vegetative stage and 260 mg for flowering phase.
day 31: I reorganized my tent but the sequence of plants in the pics stays the same. Did some defoliation again. They were exploding with leaves. The most developed plant showing hunger. I continue with the feeding plan from the last days.
day 34: The most developed plant showing symptoms of deficiency. Today's pics are face on and edge on for every plant.

5 AB+ fem plants organic grow in 6.5 l pots.
3 phase medium (amount per plant):
- 1l early grow (mix: 1/2 used soil from last grow + 1/2 no peat tomato soil + 1 hand full of my organic super bloom mix[ OHSB])
- 2 l grow (mix: 10l tomato soil + 3 l OHSB + 1 hand full of crushed chicken shit pellets)
- 3.5 l hot soil (mix: 15 l tomato soil + 5 l OHSB + ash + 2 hands chicken pellets)
OHSB consists of used up soil from last grows, enriched with worm humus, guano, ash, coffee grounds, primal rock flour, Ghassoul.
I'm changing/experimenting with different ingredients from time to time. Sometimes I add a Mykorrhiza/Trichoderma mix.
This time, as i'm dealing with autos, I decided to not use guano, and instead compensate with a mix of just chicken pellets and ash. I'm sure one can compensate the guano somehow for a regular grow as well.
I will add some Guano and more ash during flowering stage, if needed. Maybe also Molasses.
Dosing the ingredients I roughly follow the suggestions from GK and so also for the ash even though I have my own one (wood ash).
