We've entered the fifth week, and the plant is now in pre-flowering, I've seen some pistils. The plant is stretching. Despite some concerns, it’s still looking healthy.
Training & Mistakes: I believe I made some mistakes with the plant, aside from the cold weather. I'm regretting defoliating the fan leaves and even bending the plant over. I fear this might impact productivity, but there's not much I can do now. Despite this, I've kept the plant bent, which has resulted in 6 main colas that are growing.
Watering: I'm providing approximately 3 liters of water every 2 days, mixed with fermented frass, green water, and an aerobic tea I made from fruit scraps and eggshells. The plant seems to be a heavy feeder, always hungry for nutrients.
Fertilization: This week, I applied a good dose of bokashi and also Ekosil (potassium + silica).
Pest Control: The organic matter has attracted some fungus gnats, but they haven’t been able to thrive thanks to the Beauveria, which I’ve increased in dosage and continue to apply every 4 days at night.
Ambient Conditions: The temperature has dropped significantly, ranging from 5ºC at night to 15ºC during the day, with humidity remaining low. At the end of the week, temperature rise to 15ºC night and 28ºC day.
Training: I’m gradually adjusting the plant’s position and tweaking the LST (Low Stress Training).
Overall Health: Despite my concerns, the plant is still looking good and healthy.
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.
