Paseo It's my first grow and i dared to try some Soil mix with a natural fertilizer, not knowing if these will properly work and give some "good" result. These is the experimental mixture:
16.4 Living Soil activated
Ingredients (Soil):
- 45% Soil
- 10% Vermiculite
- 10% Perlite
- 25% Wormhumus
- 10% Coconut fiber
Ingredients (Fertilizer):
- 100g Sheep Dung (2-2-2)
- 100g Kelp Meal
17.4 Germination in Coco-Jiffi
21.4 Seedling is alive
24.4 Jiffi in end pot
Paseo [Day 26] [16.5]
• Flowering Day 1
[Day 28] [18.5]
• Neem oil because of Mourners
[Day 30] [20.5]
•Changing Light distance because of possible Light stress
- 75W @ 60cm

Today i found a few older leafs on the bottom of that plant with some symptoms, looking like nutrients deficiency.

The buds are getting dense and it smells sweet, but the nutrition deficiency increases. I gave her 150% of the bloom fertilizer.
• 3L (tapwater + Epsom salt)
• Jungle-Boost Bloom [7,5ml/L - 150%]
[Day 51] [10.6]
•Because of deficiency i used foliar fertilization.
[Day 52] [11.6]
•Increased humidity because of bad VPD
[Before] 29°C / 33% ~ 2,5 kPa
[After] 27°C / 50% ~ 1,7 kPa
[Day 53] [12.6]
Increasing CalMag and fertilizations
• 3L Water (tap water + Epsom + CalMag)
[120mg/L(Ca) - 40mg/L(Mg)]
• Foliar fertilization
• Jungle Boost - Bloom [5ml/L ~ 100%]
[Day 56] [15.6]
Increasing fertilization
• 2,7L Water (tap water + Epsom + CalMag)
• Jungle Boost - Bloom [7,5ml/L ~ 150%]

"Mimi" is doing well. The bloom fertilizer works and helped to avoid bigger deficiencies.
• 3L water [tap water + Epsom + CalMag]
• Jungle-Boost Bloom [6ml/L ~ 120%]
[Day 62] [21.6]
She puts a lot of energy to produce the buds. After having some yellowing symptoms I did increase the bloom fertilizer before and changed light intensity (150W to 120W) to give her time to recover. As the symptoms begin to disappear I started to change the light intensity back to 150W.
My assumption is that the light is too strong, maybe of lacking nutrients.

She is slowly facing her EOL. Pistils turning brown and not that much are regrowing.
Trichomes are slowly getting white, maybe a week or two. Probably I have to harvest her earlier than planned, because of a trip in a few weeks.

Paseo [Day 71] [30.6]
Today she looked a bit creepy, but smells like hell. She will need more than a week, but I have to harvest her earlier. I gave her just water for the final days.
The Mimosa Auto from RQS is a very resistant strain, smells not too strong but very sweet till now. She has a citrus taste, with a uplifting high and good focus. I love this strain.
I'm pretty happy with that run, besides my own experimental nutrition plan which caused a few deficiencies it was a very positive experience.

Paseo I did harvest her today, because of lacking time before a trip. She had like 90% of white Trichomes, normally I would prefer 70% white and 30% amber.
She got a wet-trim and will be dried in my tent in a dry-net.
[6.7]
After 5 days of drying the weed has a humidity of 60-63% and gets now cured in TerpLocs. I was expecting less than 40g. With 55g now, where a friend smoked yesterday 2g of it, i'm pretty impressed with that result.
What would I change:
1. Deficiencies
The natural fertilizer has it's pros and cons. My fault was to not increase nutrition shortly before bloom-phase.
2. PPFD
In the beginning I worked without PPFD or LUX, so the light intensity was hard to adjust.
3. More than one plant
I could have done more than one plant in a 60x60 tent, also to find the sweet-spot for my experimental nutri-plan.
4. Humidity
Bad humidity can cause a lot of problems. In my case there have been some dry moments with significant low humidity. When it's to dry the transpiration is too high and the leafs are rolling in, to stop transpiration which decreases grow-speed.
5. LST
LST is a very potent method to train a plant. The Mimosa did grow because of this in a very interesting way, with one mainbud but lot of big side-buds in a nearly homogenic horizontal crown.
First tasting:
The weed smells sweet, with some lemon breeze and sweet Nuances. It's not cured so the taste is not final, but it's even now a very soft smoking experience.
I would not say that my own weed is the best I've ever smoked, but it remembers me of the good old days.
Your plant has stretched quite a bit from week 5 to 6. Probably due to the increased distance and the lower PPFD.
I had almost constant around 65 DLI until the beginning of flowering. That's probably why the indicas are so stunted for me. I only turned the lamp up to about 75% starting from week 7, which is about 45 DLI and 630 ppfd, which is still "normal."
The question is whether it actually helps... I'm torn. Ultimately, the popcorn buds lower down get less light the bigger the stretch is, and they are certainly not as well lit and developed.
In the instructions for my lamp, it says that I could have started well with 20%. I overlooked that. Surely, I could have saved a few euros on electricity.
@Insertcoin, you are absolutely right. Unfortunately, I had signs of light stress and was forced to make changes. It was also strain-dependent. Before, there was a "Dance-World [Photo]" in there to prepare for the outdoor season, which actually didn't get "enough" light.
This is my first attempt, also with the setup and nutrients, so I'm curious to see how it goes.
The small popcorn buds will be removed during lollipopping so that it can focus on the fairly homogeneous flower canopy.
