The Mandarine Cream is in its second week of flowering and is stretching incredibly. The plant is growing nonstop, and the buds are swelling beautifully. The aroma is becoming extremely strong, shifting to a more citrusy scent, reminiscent of grapefruit. The plant is healthy and looking great.
Ambient Conditions: This week started off warm (with a minimum of 23ºC and a maximum of 30ºC), but a cold front has brought the temperatures down again (with a minimum of 11ºC and a maximum of 20ºC). Humidity remains quite low, around 30-35%.
Training: I’ve kept the main apical tied down, which has resulted in 12 colas. Other than that, I haven’t done any additional training or defoliation.
Fertilization: I applied one final dose of nitrogen this week and nothing else.
Pest Control: The Beauveria treatments continue, and I no longer have any issues with the fungus gnats that had appeared.
Watering: I’ve been watering the plant very minimally, as the substrate has been staying moist on its own.
Looking Forward: From here on, there’s not much left to do except let the flowering progress and enjoy the results.
Hey! Nice to see your work! Looks amazing.
Keep on doing ur thing, good luck with all future grows!
Come by my page if you have time to spare, just started 2 new journals. /LST 👨🏽🌾🌱
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.
