Germination stage take time from 5.04.2024 to 8.4.2024
Seedling came on 8.4.2024 in tomatosoil. 32cm diameter pot
In the first week from 8.4.2024 to 15.4.2024
Since the legalisation in germany came more and more reality iwatched a lot of youtube content.
The first two leaves became during the first week a littlebit curly and pale yellowish.
In the firstweek i used a little more than one litre. The bottom of the pot stood in a sauce with a thin layer of the water which didnt hold the soil. Maybe thats a reason for the curly crumbly leaves.
I changed the light to spiderfarmer sf1000 evo dim. A 100watt light. I think it has higher ppfd that the Q1w. I switches light duration from 20h to 24 h because i read that one can have more groth and yield with autos. I am not shure how long i should push the plant within this 24h light mode and when to stop.
And due to i slight smell i switched on the ~150m³ Fan with AKF.
I am not realy happy with the low airmoisture due to the AKF-Fan, because i think it should a bit higher in her 3th week at this stage
I watered a little to much. I stopped watering at the 23.4.2024 and sucked of the water in the saucer
Swiched off the AC-fan to increase humidity. It worked. And i topped the plant on 26.4.2024 on day 18.
27.4. I pruned the fan-leaves because there was water between the leaves. And the sidebranches got no
28.4. 11cm tall.
After the first defoliation the plant developed good. No sign of flower. So i decided to defoliate the plant. Because the bottom side leaves became not that much light. I read that the plant releases growth hormones to the shootes after defoliation.
I also switched the lightcycle from 24h light to 20h because i read that over 65 DLI on this 100% ~925 ppfd light dosnt get the plant any significant bonus in growth.
On day 30 i did some LST and cleared out some sideshoots and smaler branches to push the energy of the plant in the main shoots. I count 9 of them.
I have not much expectations.
if one shoot brings around 5g i am happy with this plant.
Next days become easier. Only correcting the LST and pouring water
😀
I had the light the past few weeks 30cm over the plant on 100% wich has 930ppfd in 20h duration it was all together 65 DLI.
I want to force the strech from now. Do you think i should raise the light up tp 50cm over the plant?
The plant made nearly 20cm within the past weeks.
Encouraging stretch isn't something I'd typically recommend for an indoor grow. First off, your plant is gonna stretch plenty in flower most likely, some plants can double or even triple in size. Second, space is an important commodity indoors and stretch is just bare stem, aka wasted space probably. Lastly, your grow light has powerful light but the further away stuff is from it the weaker the light- so by encouraging the plant to get tall you ensure less of your plant is in the optimal zone of light.
The Plant reached 20 cm hight with LST.
You can feel that the plant needs a lot more water due to the more leaves.
I hung the light higher to 45cm to get a little more stretch.
I ordered a fabric pot from greenmile in Great Britain o er amazon. Repotted the plant today. I thought i ordered the 30L version but it is only the 25l version. I would go to 40cm/ 1,3ft to the walls of the tent.
Nevertheless i think i can maximise the yield a little more.
I cutted the roots 1cm deep on the outside to push root formation.
Let's see what will happen.
25cm hight on day 39 16.5.2025
Startet week 7 with defoliating so that the smaler buds get more light.
I reduced the lightintensity to 75% which should be around 45 DLI in 20h.
I also got due to the weather and watering a bit high humidity in the tent. The humidity in the tent is around 50%- 57%. The hygrometer directly between the leaves says it is 70%. I installed a stronger output-fan with 150m³/h but nothing changed. The little trotec dehumidifier with 230ml/day doesn't seem to lower the humidity.
At the beginning of week 8 i defoliated the plant again, so the lower buds and their leafes will get more light. One little bud broke off the plant.
Whike defoliating i noticed that the near-bud-leafes became sticky and smal tricomes came at their center.
The humidityproblem i engaged with dehumidification of the whole room in which the tent is.
I think maybe 2 or 3 week until
At the dark phase i got around 70% himidity in the last week.
This week i started with 65% himidity in the dark phase of light.
Added the smal dehumidifier which can get 0,23 litre per day out. So i lowerd the humidity during daytimes to 50-52% hunidity.
On Day 60 i replaced the LST wires to stretch the plant and get more air and light to the lower buds.
At this stage you realy can see that the plant need more space between the nodes. Next time i should adjust the light and the fan from the beginning of the grow to get a little more strech.
The large Dehumidifiere didnt ran the last two or three day so it reached 60 percent in the room, and 68 percent in the tent. Maybe more on nighttimes.
On day 63 i noticed that some trichomes on the mainbuds got a little bit brown. Due to discription on the RQS website the mimosa strain should take 4 more weeks for
Hi! I don't know when to harvest the Minosa Auto. On the Website of RQS it is written that after 10 Week the plant is ready to harvest. Some of the older leaves shown a high amount of amber trichomes. But the Buds dont't look like at their maximum of growth.
Should i harvest?
on their website it says 7-8 weeks of flowering and 9-10 weeks from sprouting. Always go with flowering time as all plants will flower at different times. Your's started flowering after 4-5 weeks so plus 7-8 weeks of flowering your looking at a total of 11 - 13 weeks . If you want a heavier yield aim for 13 weeks but always judge by the maturity of thricromes first.
What is the worst case of what could happen to the buds and the harvest due to the yellow tip burn?
Since 5 days the near leaf buds have yellow tips.
It could have any reason. Flys, high ph, to high nutients.
Already watered with neem oil and gave citrusjuice in water to lower p
They are over fed.
Worst case.........smaller buds with awful taste.
Watering with neem oil won't do anything to help anything!
Reduce your fertilizers by half.
Don't know what to write. Smell got a little bit less intensive. Buds seem to thinken a bit. In my eyes it looks enough. I had some flys in the soil. Neemoil didn't worked this good 2 weeks ago. I don't want to water the plant with neem oil at this stage. i didn't added the "once a week" nutrient to watering.
Lets wait what will happen.
D76 checked trichomes with microscope. Looks milky
On the leaves are more amber
I liked the citrus flavour since the first day. The later you harvest, the earthier it smells.
It was my first grow. I did high stress training, repotting, defoliating with the plant. It handled that very well. No signs of male pollen produktion and hermaphodite.
I later noticed yellow leaftips. The i read the nutientdisciption and soildescription. The soil cane premixed with nutrients. I added on every watering nutrients for veggetativ and flowering phase. The high amount of nutirnt stress the plant handled also very well.
In the late flowering stage 2 weeks ago the yellow leaftips on the buds came.
I also had the fungs gnats flys in the tent. At the beginning flowering phase i could engage them with neem oil. On the late flowring stage i couldnt overcome them. But the plant also handled the insect stress good.
