Orange Bud #1

My Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud Grow Diary: Week 1 The first week with my Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud has been a period of careful observation and adjustment. Here’s a summary of the week’s activities: Watering Schedule: I watered my plant twice this week, ensuring that the soil was dry before each session, for a total of approximately 1.5 liters. This cautious approach helps prevent overwatering, which can be detrimental to the plant’s health. Lighting Conditions: I noticed signs of light stress early on, which prompted me to increase the light height from 40cm to 50cm by the end of the week. This change seemed to alleviate the stress, allowing the plant to continue growing without further issue. Growth Measurements: The plant’s growth started off slowly, standing at 3.6cm mid-week and reaching 4.5cm by the end of the week. While the growth was moderate, it was steady, and I observed no abnormalities, which is reassuring. Reflection: The growth of my Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud may not have been explosive, but it was consistent and healthy. The absence of abnormalities is a positive sign, and the adjustments made to the lighting seem to have been beneficial. I’m hopeful that with continued careful monitoring and adjustments, the plant will flourish in the coming weeks. This diary entry documents the initial growth by my Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud during its first week. It’s a testament to the importance of being attentive to the plant’s needs and making timely adjustments. I look forward to seeing how my plant develops as I continue this rewarding cultivation journey. 🌿

My Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud Grow Diary: Week 2 The second week with my Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud has been a period of remarkable growth and proactive cultivation. Here’s a recap of the week’s progress: Lighting and Climate Control: I’ve upgraded my setup to include the XS4000 LED, complemented by UV-A + NIR 50W lights that run in parallel, starting 15 minutes before and after the main light turns on. This ensures a gradual transition of light intensity, simulating a more natural light cycle. Additionally, I’ve employed a humidifier to maintain the ideal humidity levels for my plant’s health. Growth Progress: I was thrilled to see a substantial increase in growth this week, with my plant’s height jumping from 5cm to 14.5cm. This growth spurt is a clear sign that the plant is responding well to the new lighting and controlled humidity. Watering and Nutrition: I watered the plant with around 400ml of water, along with a mix of Hesi SuperVit and Bio Canna Vega + Bio Canna Rhizotonic. These nutrients are designed to encourage strong vegetative growth and a healthy root system, which are crucial during these early stages. Low-Stress Training (LST): With the plant exhibiting such good health and no apparent issues, I decided to implement Low-Stress Training (LST) at the end of week 2. LST is a gentle technique to shape the plant’s growth and can lead to better light distribution and potentially higher yields. Reflection: This week has been incredibly rewarding. The substantial growth and lack of complications have reinforced my confidence in the cultivation process. I’m eager to see how the LST will influence my Auto Orange Bud’s development as I continue this exciting journey. Week 2 has solidified my belief in the importance of adapting to my plant’s needs and the positive impact of a well-managed grow environment. The progress of my Auto Orange Bud is a source of great satisfaction, and I look forward to sharing more updates as we move forward. 🌿

My Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud Grow Diary: Week 3 The third week with my Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud has been a period of growth and attentive care. Here’s a summary of the week’s activities: Growth and Training: The plant continued to show improvements, growing from 14.5cm to 22cm. I utilized Low Stress Training (LST) and defoliation methods to encourage the development of the side nodes, which contributed to the plant’s overall growth. Watering and Nutrition: I watered the plant twice with approximately 400ml of water each time, along with Hesi SuperVit, to provide essential nutrients. However, I noticed a bit of yellowing on the leaves, which is often a sign of nutrient deficiency. To address this, I added an additional watering session with Bio Canna Vega and Bio Canna Rhizotonic, aiming to correct the nutrient balance and improve the plant’s health. Reflection: This week has been about responding to the plant’s cues and providing it with the necessary care to thrive. The yellowing leaves were a reminder to stay vigilant and adapt my approach to meet the plant’s changing needs. With the adjustments made, I’m hopeful for continued healthy growth in the weeks ahead. Week 3 has been a learning experience, reinforcing the importance of observation and quick action in response to signs of stress. The progress of my Auto Orange Bud is encouraging, and I’m looking forward to nurturing it further on this cultivation journey. 🌿
