GardenOfTheRisingSun This diary is this years first grow. Second attempt to plant an autoflowering strain outdoor.
I am not a big fan of ruderalis mixes but this time I would love to harvest before autumn, and the weather is beautiful.
I am going to use biotabs nutes and some of my own KNF additives (OHN, FPJ).
I will also post a diary about my photoperiodic ladies. Last two years were not to lucky for me so let’s hipe for the best.

GardenOfTheRisingSun The weather got rainy and cold so I had to bring her inside where there wasn’t enough light. All of the ladies started to stretch. To stop it yesterday I moved them under a LED light . I will keep them there until they get stronger, meanwhile I’ll try to take advantage of the Sun as well putting them to the sunny spots of my place.
They are in a small pot of Plagron Lightmix prepared following Biotabs instructions.
Update 04.27:
She is going well.
Need to water twice a week. Second watering with 2ml LAB.

GardenOfTheRisingSun This week is the first outside in the wild nature. Looking forward how she takes it.
Update:
10.05. She is feeling good outside. Growing quickly. She could adapt to the wild nature without problem because the Sun wasn’t that strong this week.
So far so good…

GardenOfTheRisingSun What a surprise! The first preflowers have appeared. So officially she is already flowering. Even though she is an automatic girl I didn’t expect it so early.
Update - 18.05
I decided to put her back under LED for extra 6 hours when the Sun leaves my garden. As I know in the case of autos few extra hours really count.
Also I use some wires to do a light LST.
Today - as Bio Tabs recommends - I watered with 500 ml of water with 20 ml of Orgatrex and 1g of Bactrex.

GardenOfTheRisingSun I keep on taking her under the lamp every afternoon.
She still seems a bit small but she opens up new budsites quickly.
Applied the first PK Compost tea. I wil do that once a week for 3 more weeks.

GardenOfTheRisingSun She is not growing too much which is strange for me in the 2nd /3rd week of flowering. I guess this is because of ruderalis genetics.
Foliar mix - FFj + Labs + FV
GardenOfTheRisingSun This week there have been several rainshowers, so I haven’t had to water her.
In the last day I will give her a last PK boost with PK Booster Compost Tea adding a few drops of BananaKiwi FFJ (sugar for the microbes) and extra humic acid.
Flowers look swollen but trichomes are mostly white or transparent. I’ll let her one or two more weeks.
This was a very fast autoflower. It stopped growing too early for me (at the beginning of the flowering).
I think physiology of. this particular plant was more on the ruderalis side.
That’s why I don’t trust autoflowers so much. Quite a genetic roulette…
I planted this one because I ran out of medicine and I wanted to have some until my outdoor harvests in October. She served well this purpose.
The flowers look and smell nice with lot of trichomes, but not the easiest to trim due to its high leaf to bud ratio.
More details about its effects and organoleptic characteristics in a few weeks.
