Here we are beginning week ten.
Sunday - Day 64
11 August 24
- Starting the week off with some drooping.
- Still waiting on a gender reveal.
- Few leaves showing some rust spots.
- It is what it is.
Monday - Day 65
12 August 24
Really not looking happy at the moment.
Going to do a 5 litre flush and then a feed.
Flush - 5 litres at 6.22 PH at 64.9 PPM
Runoff - 1.9 litres at 6.72 PH at 318 PPM
5 litre feed following week 4 Lotus veg chart at 2/3 strength.
- Base water 5 litres - 61.8 PPM
- Add 1.2 grams calmag - 178 PPM
- Add 6.3 grams of grow- 775 PPM
Final - 5 litres at 6.35 PH at 787 PPM
Runoff - 4.5 litres at 6.76 PH at 298 PPM
We’ll see how she responds in the next few days.
FML these Lotus nutrients suck ass. I’m over trying to make this work. Next run is gonna be an organic soil and gaia green nutrients. Gotta change things up.
Wednesday - Day 67
14 August 24
Kind of bounced back a bit today.
Some leaves have shown some rust spots.
Not a whole lot can be done to fix those at this point.
Thursday - Day 68
15 August 24
Going to switch gears here and ditch the Lotus nutrients from here on out.
Took some worm castings to make a top dressing.
- Added 2 tsp of Gaia Green All Purpose
- Added 2 tsp of Gaia Green Power Bloom
- Added 2 tsp of Gaia Diatomaceous Earth
- Added 1 tsp of Dynomyco
- Added a bit of perlite.
Mixed it all up and top dressed the pot.
Watering with 5 litres of dechlorinated tap water.
- Base water 5 litres - 61.7 PPM
- Added 4 ml of grotek Cal-max - 211 PPM
- Added 4 ml of Supermax - 245 PPM
- Added 15 ml of Microbial Mass - 332 PPM
Final - 5 litres at 6.32 PH at 332 PPM
Runoff - 1.4 litres at 6.62 PH at 1,100 PPM
Pretty high runoff, probably all the castings and amendments. So I’m not going to worry about that for now.
Sink or swim. We’ll see how it does once those nutrients become available to the plant.
Saturday - Day 70
17 August 24
- Did a major defoliation and lollipopping.
- The plant was just way too bushy and growth was crashing into itself.
- Going to give her a few days to rest and recover.
- Planning to flip the light schedule to 12/12 because this auto just won’t flower or show gender.
- She needs to start doing something or she’ll wind up in the trash pretty darn fast.
- Seriously losing patience with this plant.
Well here we are at the end of week ten. We’ll see what next week has in store.
@Hempface86, yeah man as you know it’s been a long road with this one. Week 8 of flower started today. So we’re definitely close to the end. She’s fading nicely and using up her fan leaves so all is well.
I hope that she flips the flower with the light transition.. and I agree if two weeks goes by and nothing I'd be done... I'm actually on standby right now myself because my strawberry cough is super stunted just like the black opium so it is the soil.. I just got to wait to get some of my money and I'll be doing the grow dots in no time
@Papa_T, it's so awesome to see that this whole time it was just a photoperiod so you're going to end up with the really nice plant and that's awesome there is a good chance however as I mentioned prior that it might not be a cheese strain it could be something completely different it could be anything heck it could be a CBD seed for all you know highly unlikely but somewhere somebody screwed up unless this is one of their cheese Auto seeds that just lacked the ruderalis traits and this is what you're left with I don't know as I'm no master like my page says haha
@Hempface86, oh no eh? Yeah if the strawberry cough is struggling then yeah there’s probably something wrong with the soil. A fresh start with some new soil and grow dots should work out well.
That’s it man. 12/12 is my last trick to get her to do something. I’ve waited long enough for this auto and she’s just perpetually vegging. So she either makes or breaks. I’m not fucking around anymore. I wanna get my new run started and she’s holding all these plans up.
Bro she is looking really good.. I'm so happy for you that this plant ended up working out and you didn't waste a couple months of your life.. she looks really really good and almost there
@Hempface86, thanks brother. Yeah she’s getting chopped soon. I decided to irrigate one last time as I’m dealing with my dog n stuff, she’s at the hospital now. So yeah it was easier to irrigate and hold off harvesting until I find the time to deal with Jackie.
@BrigadeDesTerps, lol. On est sur le bord de la récolte la. Le choses ne va pas bien a la maison, faq il y au autre choses qui prends priorité. Mon chien a besoin d’une chirurgie et elle est malade avec les medicament qu’ils lui ont donné faq la elle a la diarea.
@Grizzly228, Right?! It has nothing to do with growing but I thought I’d share that here anyway. It was much nicer in person. The video didn’t do it much justice.
I see what you mean about the leaves and you might be right she might be root bound a little bit for being in veg in that pot for so long.. she's producing buds though so that's a good thing
@Hempface86, yeah it was never the plan to have this plant go this long. So but you’re right, the buds are doing their thing and that’s all that matters.
@jbtju, still waiting on a gender reveal on this one. I’m going to flip to 12/12 in a few days to hopefully induce flowering. If she doesn’t do anything after two weeks she’ll wind up in the trash. I’m losing patience with this auto flower.
@Hempface86, it’s crazy. Still no sign of gender either. This plant is a sociopath just take take take all my energy and resources and gives nothing back 😂😂🤦♂️
Bro this plant has turned out to be awesome and I think at one point you were thinking of chopping it.. that's why it is important to always flip when in doubt because human error is something we cannot get around so obviously somebody screwed up the seeds but you have an awesome plant to show for it.. The strain however is a mystery but you being a cheese guy you will know if it's a cheese strainer or not
