Well here we are beginning week twelve.
Sunday - Day 78
25 August 24
First day under a 12/12 light schedule to hopefully induce this autoflower to do something.
So I’m going to consider this the first week of flowering.
Still not one calyx or stigma to be seen.
This is the longest autoflower in history.
She has two weeks to do something or else she’ll wind up in the trash.
Sink or swim, my patience is being tested with this one.
Honestly won’t be sad if this one doesn’t work out because I’m looking forward to starting a fresh run in organic soil and properly using Gaia Green.
Wednesday - Day 81
28 August 24
Watering day, 5 litres of dechlorinated tap water.
- Base water 5 litres - 59.8 PPM
- Add 15 ml Microbial Mass - 170 PPM
- Add 3.75 ml Supermax - 203 PPM
Final - 5 litres at 6.31 PH at 204 PPM
Runoff - 1.6 litres at 6.10 PH at 1,560 PPM
*Before watering top dress*
- Add 3 Tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose
- Add 3 Tbsp Gaia Green Power Bloom
Mixed it up a bit and then watered.
- Made a few LST staple adjustments to open canopy up a bit
- Some leaves don’t look too great.
- Some leaves do look great.
- Probably still adjusting to the new method of nutrients.
- Looks like she’s in her stretch phase.
Saturday - Day 84
31 August 24
Going to cut back the amount of runoff now that there’s organic inputs in the media.
May not be the most ideal with the original peat moss/coco/perlite.
Watering day, 4 litres of dechlorinated tap water.
- Base water 4 litres - 62.3 PPM
- Add 5 ml of Cal-Max - 280 PPM
Final - 4 litres at 6.32 PH at 283 PPM
Runoff - 1.3 litres at 6.55 PH at 1,650 PPM
I gave a full dose of the recommended Cal mag because I’ve always went light with the cal mag and she seems really hungry for it.
So we’ll see how she responds in the next few days to the full dose.
She looks like she’s wanting to get into flower.
We’ll see if flowering progresses more next week.
Here we are end of week twelve.
@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
