Had to move her to a little pot as the root had burst out from the peat pellet. She and her sisters are now living on a window ledge in my lounge where they'll get plenty of sunlight.
The weather has been shite this past week but she still more than doubled in height & is about to sprout her 3rd set of serrated leaves. She's overtaken her Fem sister in the pot next door - not surprising given she's an Auto.
Looking very strong now. Has more nodes than her sister but has fallen behind in terms of height.
Axillary buds started growing now. Soon she'll be a bush! Then she'll go in a big pot outside :D
Does this strain respond well to additional nutrients? In my experience most Auto's don't like them & tend to burn easily. After killing a bunch of them years ago I've just let them grow naturally in decent potting soil (with the exception of a bit of root booster). Anyone know?
You are fairly correct in your observations mate
as long as the potting mix has the required nutrients for most of the grow then all you will need
is a calmag supplement and If it was me also some mycorrhizae and kelp solution for optimum root growth and health
Using loaded soil for the 1st few weeks u need no nutes
Enzymes/root stim will be beneficial and help wit nutrition uptake
You can add bat guano or some high bloom powders and add ons from some nute maker.
Also there's many other products for taste such as sugars and so on normal soil won't hv 2 provide 2 ur plant.
I'd advise if u want 2 give nutes. Get an organic nutrient line thst takes a few weeks to fully kick in such as Alga line from plagron.
Then there's Xpert Nutrients, great mineral / organic dedicated weed nutes. Silica, master root & enzymes can be given from the jump as they've no ec npk wise they just stims, /zyms. Also then there's resin/taste enhancers such as sticky fingers, sugar shot and their core npk nutes
Good
She's started to produce a nice smell now. Looking really lovely at the moment, very green and lush. New shoots appearing from the first nodes now so should stat getting bushy this week. Will be transferring her to a 40L fabric pot once she's bushed out a bit - then let the Mediterranean sun do it's work! Spring has definitely arrived here now as the long range forecast is nothing but blue skies & increasing temps.
Almost time to venture outside I think. Night temps are staying in double figures so I think she'll be fine :D
Been a bit of rain this past week so have had to bring the girls in a few times. This one is supposed to be finished in a week, but I think she'll be staying out for a few extra weeks as it was very grey at the start of the grow & she got a bit stunted.
She's smelling really good now. Had to bring her in the house last night due to a little rain & she stank the whole house out. According to Fast Bugs estimates she should be getting harvested today but she's definitely not ready. Still too scared to give her any nutes.
Got as few more Autos to grow this summer & gonna switch up my technique a bit to try get the best out of them.
She's lovely and stinky now. Not sure if she's gonna make much more bud so she might be harvested this week. Shame I had a few mis-steps along the way with this one. Got 3 more Autos to grow this summer, hoping they yield more.
Wish I'd planted this one straight into a larger pot after it germinated as I seems the transplant from the small to large pot stressed it out and held it back a bit. Ended up leaving it out for 2 extra weeks to bulk up to make up for this. Hung her out to dry after clipping off the larger leaves. 10-14 days time I'll chop the buds off of the branches and stick it in a curing jar. Can't wait to try her!
