The Mandarine Cream is entering its third week of flowering, and the aroma is becoming increasingly potent. The plant is looking beautiful and vigorous, with the buds showing significant daily growth. The smell is evolving into a strong, citrusy scent, reminiscent of grapefruit.
Environment: This week began with a cold front, bringing temperatures down to a minimum of 5°C and a maximum of 15°C. A light rain has helped increase the humidity, which could boost resin production, although the cooler temperatures may also slow down the flowering process, just as they did during the vegetative stage.
Fertilizing: I've stopped fertilizing as the plant now has everything it needs from the substrate.
Watering: Sparse, around once a week, to maintain the right moisture levels without over-saturating.
Pest Control: Beauveria applications have been reduced to once weekly, and the garden remains completely free of pests, which is a pleasant surprise.
Training: The main cola top remains tied down. I haven't done any further defoliation or additional training. The focus is now on letting the plant continue its natural growth as it transitions deeper into flowering.
Yeah I think your correct about some stress to early on has stunted the growth.. that's learning mate and the only way unfortunately we have all done it from time to time. Don't over water or over feed and see how she goes, apart from small she looks ok.
@Green_claws, Thanks, groomie! I appreciate your opinion.
Although I've been growing since 2007, this is my first time with autos, this is my first indeed. I thought they would be similar and as hardy as photoperiodic ones, but in practice, they are quite different.
She is always hungry, and is well fed. Anyway, this is the last week I'll be applying any type of nitrogen. Now the weather will also be stable, above 15 degrees for a while, which will also be good.
I also have a batch of photos (#f1 that I took last season) and they didn't even mind the intense cold, well adapted to the crazy weather here.
Hey! Nice to see your work! Looks amazing.
Keep on doing ur thing, good luck with all future grows!
