Week 8: The rescue program worked well. The decrease in mass of the non topped plant progresses ^^
day 52: The plants will get their last dosages of ash within the next days.
day 54: The plants develop well, are super sticky. Pheno 1, 2 and 4 (Mugshots number) are showing up a minor fraction of orange pistils already. Pheno 3 is not super dense and still building up flower volume but is also super sticky. Pheno 1 is still building up density while pheno 2 is quite rock hard already but has nearly no orange hair. As i harvest a little earlier i'll expect them to be ready by the end of next week or so. Will continue supplying K in form of ash for this week as they welcome it and don't complain. The pee rescue program worked very well, although it was just an improvisation. The supply of N will last for their lifecycle. As i already demounted one plant i can say: u don't smell anything, although it was smelly when i fed them. I bought a load of biocanna bioboost to act quickly in the next grows if needed.
The smell is super fruity and really reminds me on bubblegum. Great strain! I'm running a Q1W as an open system in my bathroom next to my grow tent in parallel to pre grow herbs and chili. I just ordered a second Q1W for this spot to have a larger for weed as well. When the lamp arrives next week i will move the plants there to finish their lifecycle, as i want to start flowering phase for the other plants i grow in parallel.
There i wont cut down my two favourite phenos completely. I will spare 1 or 2 branches as i want them to produce seeds. I read that they would be feminized in a natural way as the plant want's to stay alive. I don't know if this is true for autos as well but will give it a try.
Now that i have a little experience with autos and this strain (It was a rough improvisation in total. I had no experience with topping, autos and their hunger especially when they are topped) i will start another grow with the 4 remaining auto bubblegum extra seeds i have. As i'm not prepared with a chicken shit grow mix a la bio bizz all mix so far (in preparation but this will take a month or so for the pellets to solve and provide all nutirients) i will feed them with bio vega and rhizotonic during grow phase. In the medium there will be guano pellets and chicken pellets which take a while to solve and release all the nutrients. The plan is that they are available right after the 3 weeks of growing i had with this strain (same pot size) and will serve the girls as a main supply for flowering stage. I will only add ash then as main K supply although the chicken pellets has quite some. This will also take place under the 2 Q1 W (~100 Watt).

Calculated the used space is ~ 0.35 m^2 in my Homebox Q80+ having a light fraction of 100 W with Q5W. The rest of the space distributes to my other reports on Cocopopo, Watermelon Jam and Big Bud i run in parallel. Preparing ...

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).
