Amnesia XXL, Jack Herer, MagnusSuper AUTO. In./Out

gr3g4l Until the second or third day, just spray water on top to increase humidity since I don't have a humidifier. 3rd day watering with microvita. Last day of the first week, they were transplanted into 35L pots, approximately 300 diameter x 500mm high. Janeco light Mix substrate. Watering with rhizotonic. Around the seedling, about 2L per plant. To avoid damage, I need to protect them. Now that they are still so small, it's not a bad idea to provide protection for the seedlings from birds, cats, snails, kids with a ball, etc., etc., etc. Better to prevent than to cure.

gr3g4l This week they didn't enjoy any nice sunny weather, we're in spring and it's still a bit chilly at night around here, and it rains from time to time, although not as much as we humans would need.

gr3g4l This week I did a foliar spray with Hemplex, a plant bio-stimulator made from seaweed, cytokinins, auxins, and betaines. I only watered once throughout the week, with rain and bad weather, and the last few days with low temperatures down to 2ºC. The growth is almost nonexistent, very little. Seeing that it will keep raining and since I'm not paying attention all day, I had no choice but to set up a mini greenhouse so they don't get wet anymore and I can water them with nutrients.

gr3g4l You have to take the weather forecast with a grain of salt; for example, last week they didn't predict the low temperatures we ended up having. With 28 days already passed and a few days of rain and low temperatures, it seems like they're still growing, although with an exaggerated internodal distance😒. They usually grow like that where they are, and there's a big screen of vegetation on one side, and on the other is the house. They have very little space or few hours of direct sunlight.

gr3g4l This week started relatively well considering the weather and ended with rain. At 30 days, I think I started to see some pistils popping up, so I began watering with bloom. Just a reminder that my osmosis water comes out at 0.08 Ec and 8 pH. I added a bit of cal-mag up to 0.4 Ec, and with bloom up to 1.4 Ec. To lower the pH, I used citric acid to bring it below 7 pH, around 6.5.

gr3g4l you can tell the sun from a few days ago

gr3g4l The week started with rain and the plants got wet at some point last week, so there were very few nutrients.

gr3g4l While taking off and putting back the greenhouse, a couple of branches from the Amnesia had a little accident, nothing that can't be fixed with Teflon and duct tape lol. We're starting to see beasts that want to take over my plants without my permission, so I need to be more vigilant and kick them out. To not bother the one in the middle so much, I decided to put some stakes on the Amnesia and the Magnus to separate them and let the one in the middle breathe a bit better. This week it seems that with the sun coming out and the nice weather, the poor little critters are hungry again; we're seeing one of them again, this little worm that disappeared, and then I treated it well with diatomaceous earth dissolved in water, that way I spray it all over the plant and on the underside of the leaves.

gr3g4l One more week, some rainy days and a hailstorm that broke some leaves or leaflets.

gr3g4l week of rain and hail

gr3g4l next

gr3g4l With 79 days of root washing for all of them. The appearance of botrytis has forced the washing for all of them to avoid taking any more risks. I'm leaving a record of the time they've endured since the Autos went outside. Generally cloudy weather and quite a few rainy days. That's the thing with outdoor growing; you depend a lot on the weather, and this time it turned out this way. Next year will be different, and it will turn out better or worse. From the jack tube, I took part of the apical that was affected by botrytis, so the height would be approximate.

gr3g4l easy cultivation low yield 50g. dry as for the flavor... let's just say I didn't like it much. I'm still trying to get the hang of Autos.

gr3g4l Tremendously disappointing. Nothing like the Jack Herer. A ridiculous bud formation and very little production. 30g. dry.

gr3g4l nothing to highlight. Just another one among the bunch. about 70g dry, no more as I mentioned before, the autos don't always please after a few months of curing and tired of having it around, I decided to make hash with ice. 9.1g from approximately 100g of buds
