3rd Grow 2024: Earleen (Early Skunk Auto)

Gurlifiegger 30.04.2024: Earleen stretches her little head out of the soil for the first time. 01.05.2024: Today was the first time Earleen got some sun. I hope it wasn't too much. 02.05.2024: I interpret it as a positive sign that Earleen isn't shooting up too fast. The red stem is a bit concerning though. With some strains, it's supposedly genetic, but it could also indicate stress. Skittie had a red stem too, but it was less pronounced. And this one really appeared overnight. Well, let's see how this develops. 03.05.2024: From today on, the little plants have to stay inside again since the weather isn't cooperating. 04.05.2024: The plants can be outside today, tomorrow, and maybe even the day after to soak up some sun!

Gurlifiegger 06.05.2024: Starting this week, the nutrient schedule will change from "1st true leaves" to "Growing." 09.05.2024: Starting today, the sun will shine for five days, which will be great for the plants!

Gurlifiegger 13.05.2024: The vertical growth is currently a bit slow. Earleen has been stuck at 5cm for a few days now. But I've also noticed a slowdown with Skittie before the preflowering phase. 14.05.2024: The lack of growth is really puzzling me. Are the roots mainly being developed right now? Did I do something wrong? Are there fungus gnats at work despite the nematodes and predatory mites? The plant actually looks healthy... Let's wait and see. 19.05.2024: I think I've recognized signs of a nitrogen deficiency (leaves lighter green than they should be, more pronounced in the older leaves; the GrowCush app confirms my suspicion). That's why the plants got water (including nutrients) again. I haven't watered since 10.05. because I probably overwatered a bit before that. The slowed growth could also be due to the nitrogen deficiency.

Gurlifiegger 21.05.2024: It seems like the color is coming back a bit again :D

Gurlifiegger 27.05.2024: Heute ist meine 65W-Lampe angekommen! Hab sie direkt aufgehängt und die Pflanzen daruntergeschoben. Ich werde die Damen ab jetzt 20h am Tag beleuchten können :) Und heut hat auch die Vorblüte bei Earleen begonnen. Deswegen wird auch diese Pflanze nicht mit LST trainiert. 01.06.2024: Ich war jetzt ein paar Tage nicht zuhause und habe die Lampe weiterhin 20h am Tag laufen lassen. Wow, sind die Pflanzen gewachsen! Das Licht macht echt viel aus! Bin richtig glücklich mit dem Fortschritt! 02.06.2024: Earleen entwickelt sich dank der Pflanzenlampe super! Sie kann ein bisschen von ihrem Rückstand aufholen. Bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit der Lampe. Die 26€ sind auf jeden Fall gut investiert.

Gurlifiegger 03.06.2024: Earleen is growing slower in height compared to Creamilla, but she's bushier. She's doing well, the little one! 04.06.2024: I defoliated a bit (2 leaves) so the side branches can get more light. 05.06.2024: I did a bit more defoliating today and started some LST on the side branches to get them away from the main stem a bit. The changes will be visible in tomorrow's pictures. Unfortunately, I accidentally broke a side branch. I tried to tape it back together. Let's see if that works; otherwise, it’ll just have to go. Gained another experience. 06.06.2024: The broken side branch didn't make it... F... The remaining side branches look pretty good with the LST though :)

Gurlifiegger 10.06.2024: The flowering has begun! Earleen isn't shooting up as much anymore.
