The plant is doing well! D11: watered with tab water, filled the pot up with some fresh soil and did some early LST, since space is very limited... :) I did remove downside nodes.

D24: 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 D25: moved my plants into my new DIY growbox :) D26: installed a SCROG net for gentle bending and removed some leaves (the bottom ones that are constantly touching the ground + one big fanleaf, that covered all those side branches…) D27: watered with 750ml of PHed tab water + the first pistils appeared

D30: 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:)) D31: did some LST / Scroging, I‘m very happy how the branches develop into a nice even canopy :) thinking about removing the two lower branches, as they don’t reach up to the scrog net… D33: watered with 900ml ph balanced tab water + organic fertilizer

The week starts with a thirsty plant…. :) D36: watered (1 liter; PH 6.4; Organic Fertilizer) and very slightly defoliated; she will look way better tomorrow :) D38: watered with 750ml plain ph balanced tab water (I’m not home for 2 days, I hope the plant doesn’t dry out too much, since it’s drinking a lot right now…) D41: just got back home, the plant looks thirsty but ok :) watered with 1,1l (ph balanced tab water + organic fertilizer); removed 2 lower shoots and some lower canopy / nodes…

D43: On to the next week :) I overwatered the plant since the soil is still moist (watered 2 days ago) and the leaves are hanging down a bit… RH was very high (~70-75%) with Temps around 20-22 degrees Celsius during daytime in the last days due to excessive rain non stop. I hope she will look healthier at the end of the week… :) D45: humidity and temperature are under control again since two days, and the soil is almost completely dried out (judged by sticking my finger in deep and lifting the pot) the plant doesn’t look much better by now. I did bend some shoots down to even out the canopy… D46: watered with 900ml tab water (PH 6.3) and the plant looks way better just after a few hours; removed some big leaves D49: watered with 750ml water + fertilizer

Yep, likely over watered. Lower your humidity, raise your temps, and get some wind blowing across the soil surface. And also cultivate the top inch of soil so it's nice and fluffy looking. You wanna dry that fuckers out as fast as you can before root rot gets a foot hold.

Hi :) I overwatered my plant. She is still not looking good, but the soil is completely dried out by now. (Last watered 5 days ago; pots are 3,8l / 1gal). Should I water it again with 1/3 of the pot volume? Or should I start with a lower dosage, or even wait a few more days?

I’d get some water to her immediately as it looks like the leaves aren’t just drooping, but also limp and hanging. I’d water slowly, getting the top watered a bit and then waiting about 20 minutes and go back and water more. The soils probably so dry that most of what you first put in will just run through to the bottom and won’t soak in there. Waiting a bit and adding more water will ensure your girl actually takes up that water. You have a smaller pot so you should be able to pick it up before you water and see how it weighs. Then pick it up after watering. You should feel a big difference. I’d water when the pot feels light and before the leaves get this bad. Let a bit come out the bottom that helps with buildups and also gives you peace of mind that the pots draining and she got her water

My auto forbidden cherry is at the end of week 10… Almost 100% of the trichomes are white/milky, but the buds are very fluffy still have white pistils… Is harvest time just around the corner? Is the density so low bc of my mistakes? Will they fatten more or just ripen?
Solved
Buds. Not fattening

Hello my German friend, you guys can now legally grow weed while we in the Netherlands still can not 😂 What a joke, Amsterdams sells weed from 1970 but can not grow legally. Haha anyways congrants buddy, hope this weed will taste good! When I look at the page for this strain on this website than I can see that this is all about genetics. Your buds look great and enjoy the harvest and smoking it all!!! 💚

Probably the final week for this plant! Thanks for the replies on my question. The buds are almost ready for harvest. I will check the trichomes daily and wait until 20-30% have turned amber :) D73: watered with 1l + fertilizer D76: watered with 1l + fertilizer
