Experiment No.1 (Mimosa Auto)

[Day 9] [29.4] • 2 Liter of Water Mix 10:6 (Tapwater) : (Osmosis) Tapwater ingredients: 102mg/L (Ca) - 21mg/L (Mg) Epsom Salt: 0,14g/L Desired ratio: 60mg/L (Ca) - 20mg/L (Mg)

[Day 13] [3.5] • Light intensity changed 75W - 40cm [Day 14] [4.5] • Watering 1L Mix 10:6 (Tapwater) : (Osmosis) Tapwater ingredients: 102mg/L (Ca) - 21mg/L (Mg) Epsom Salt: 0,14g/L Desired ratio: 60mg/L (Ca) - 20mg/L (Mg)

[Day 23] [13.5] • watering 1L [Day 26] [16.5] • Flowering Day 1 • Watering 2L (Tap water + Epsom ) Tapwater ingredients: 102mg/L (Ca) - 21mg/L (Mg) Epsom Salt: 0,14g/L Desired ratio: 102mg/L (Ca) - 34mg/L (Mg)

[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

Till now my experimental fertilizer seems to work great and the stretch is in progress. In flowering week 3 there will be some defoliation and maybe some lollipoping. [Day 35] [25.5] = Light stress seems to get better • Changing Light intensity and height - 90W @ 50cm [Day 37] [27.5] • 2,5L Water (tap water + Epsom salt) Tapwater ingredients: 102mg/L (Ca) - 21mg/L (Mg) Epsom Salt: 0,14g/L Desired ratio: 102mg/L (Ca) - 34mg/L (Mg) [Day 39] [29.5] • Changing Light Intensity - 120W @ 40cm [Day 40] [30.5] • Today was lollipopping-time Hopefully she will be not that mad at me :) • 2,5 L Water (tap water + Epsom salt) • New Bloom Fertilizer - Jungle Boost - Bloom (2ml/L)

[Day 43] [2.6] She handled the Lollipopping great and is now producing nice smelling buds • 150W @ 30cm • 3 L Water (tap water + Epsom salt) • Jungle-Boost Bloom (3ml/L) [Day 47] [6.6] Today i found a few older leafs on the bottom of that plant with some symptoms, looking like nutrients deficiency. • 150W @ 30cm • 3L Water (tap water + Epsom salt) • Jungle-Boost Bloom (3ml/L)

[Day 50] [9.6] 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%]

[Day 59] [18.6] "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. • 3L water [tap water + Epsom + CalMag] • Jungle-Boost Bloom [5ml/L ~ 100%]

[Day 65] [24.6] 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. • 3L Water [tap water + Epsom + CalMag] • Jungle-Boost Bloom [5ml/L ~ 100%] • Light intensity [120W @ 27cm]

[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.

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.
