Plant is doing well, got its first watering with tab water and a early LST, since space is very limited... :) I did remove downside nodes, plus one or two leaves that block light.

It got its second LST training :) D19: the plant shows first signs of flowering after just 19 days :/ Maybe my LST / Defoilation was to aggressive, so it triggered flowering… Also I checked the soil and it was rock hard and completely dried out. Maybe I was underwatering the plant because I was too afraid of overwatering :)) so I soaked the soil with 800ml tabwater. Besides that i didn’t see much growth I the last three days, maybe that’s also due to dryness… D21: I think I was right with the guess, that I underwatered it. The plant pushed some new leaves out and looks very happy :) looking foreward to week 4!

Week 4 started and we are officially in flowering! D22: watered with 600ml of tab water D25: watered with 700ml of PHed tab water (got the ph meter today and my tab water was around 7.7-7.8); used concentrated vinegar as PH down until I reached around 6.5 D26: moved my plants into my new DIY growbox :) D27: installed a SCROG net for gentle bending and removed some leaves (the bottom ones that are constantly touching the ground) D28: watered with 750ml of PHed tab water

D31: watered with 800ml of tabwater (PH 6,5) with added liquid organic fertilizer. Lowered the distance between the LED and the canopy from 40cm to 30cm. I used an app called Photone to meter the PPFD reading and it was around 450 at the top of the canopy. Now it reads around 550-650 wich should be perfect for the flowering stage of autoflowers, that's at least what i read online. (any tips are welcome:)) D34: watered with 900ml ph balanced tab water + organic fertilizer

Hi :) The stems of the leaves of my auto orange bud have turned red in the last days… It‘s also happening to lower leaves. Is this issue related to nutrient deficiency? Thanks in advance for any guidance :))

There could be a few reasons why this happens. First of it could be genetics that is causing this and there is nothing you can do about it. Second would be a nutrient deficiency. Mostly a phosphorus or potassium. Majority of times it would be phosphorus. It appears like your plant is doing well other than this. So I wouldn’t change anything. However if you did want to add about 10-20% more fertilizer to your mix then you could easily do that the next two feedings. I hope this helps.

The 3rd week of flowering started! I just separated the Forbidden Cherry Grow from this Diary and started an extra diary for that one :) D37: did a bit defoilation, since the canopy is very dense on the lowest nodes. After removing some leaves I think there is better airflow now… D38: watered with 1l (ph balanced tab water + organic fertilizer) D39: watered again with 250ml plain water, since I’m not home for 2 days… D41: watered with 1l

D43: Week 4 of Flowering starts with way to high humidity, it’s been raining for the last few days, and humidity in my flat is around 75% and I struggle to keep it below 70% in my box right now, but the next days should handle that… :) D46: the conditions have been under control again for the last 48h D47: watered with 900ml PH 6.3 + fertilizer D49: added some bud pics! a lot of the pistils turned orange already, since I have no possibility yet to look at the trichomes, it’s hard to judge when the plant is ready for harvest… I think I will give it 1-2 more weeks; what y’all think? :)

Hey there, Compared to other diaries of this exact strain, mine started flowering way early. So harvest should be also earlier? I have no way to check trichromes. I wanna ask, how long you think the plant still needs? Most of the pistils turned orange fan leaves turned yellow/red

Harvest time depends on plant health as well. If your plant is less than 10/10 health it needs longer to finish flowering. Id push your plant until its basically dead -thats what Ive done for plants that look like that, so they can come close to finishing.

Hi :) Today I got a cheap clip on microscope for my phone camera to check the trichromes. (Sorry for the pretty bad quality) It‘s hard for me to judge if the trichromes are clear or cloudy. Some of them are amber already (~20%) Could this plant be harvested today? Thank you :)

It looks like you have around two weeks or more to go. This all depends on how you like your smoke. The more amber the trichomes the more of a couch lock effect it will have on you. It’s best to check your plant on Multiple buds and multiple points on the bud. Sugar leafs will always show a more developed and mature trichome opposed to the dense inner bud trichomes. I would suggest checking again next week in multiple places and judge again, if you are still seeing lots of clear then check again in a week. In two weeks you could start checking every day because at the end of maturity, they can change fast. I hope this helps.
