Number 4 and a Zkittlez (RIP)

AH Veg Week 6 (42 days old) AZ Flower Week 1 (28 days old) Nothing should be unintended with cannabis. Every cut. Every fold. Every watering. One does it in that moment with an intention. And if you want dank buds, you better have good intentions! So what happened to Number 4? And my intentions behind her? Did the AZ auto react to her pre-mature topping?? That's this weeks update, for those that haven't seen the pictures yet. Amnesia Haze: Butchered. Absolutely butchered. She was so beautiful and bushy, until I taste tested her half-failed sister Number 3 (rip) 😇😇😇 I only intended to foliate her! Get rid of a few fan leaves and let some light on the lower growth... one joint later and I was envisioning Number 4 having multiple main lines, similar to Number 3, but bigger. She's left with 4 main stems and two side stems on each. The lower two stems were removed, even though they grew just as high as the rest of the canopy, because they were going to be fighting for light and space with the side stems. I'd rather have fewer stems if that means the remaining ones have room to expand. She should practically fill up the 4x2 tent on her own, in about 10 weeks, after AZ is done flowering. Now the preparations are taken care of, let's get her strong and growing outwards! AH Nutrients: CalMag is still at 0.5ml/l and BioGrow is still at 1ml/l. She's not showing any signs of deficiencies or burn. I hope it's not my impatience talking but the thought of gradually increasing the BioGrow to 2ml/l has crossed my mind. Not that I have any complaints about her current growth. If she's going to be grown wide and large, she's going to need the nutritional care. That decision will be made, having NOT smoked beforehand.. actually, every decision here on in will be made sober 😅 Amnesia Zkittlez: For those that didn't see last week's update, she produced her first flower and made it clear, she is female 😂 Feeding and lighting has been adjusted accordingly and will be further adjusted when needed. It's a waiting game now. Either the tap root touched the bottom of the pot, or something hard in the soil. Perhaps the topping triggered her to go into flower? Maybe it's due to her being 21+ days old and it's her biological time as an autoflower. Whatever the cause, the clock is ticking now. I'm curious if she is going to grow out more before the flowers start to shoot out. Her current size (22cm) worries me. Her stems aren't developed to the point where they'll be able to nurture nor hold a yield worth mentioning. I hope time will prove me wrong and this first experience with an autoflower will have me attempting more runs. Though, the curiosity what would happen if the AZ was fed full doses of nutrients during veg would be well worth another run. She's getting thirsty. I'm having to water her nearly twice as often as the AH, which is a good thing. It feels odd. Normally this would be the time one would be considering one last defoliation, or mainlining before the rest of the flowers start popping up. The only foliage on her currently are the two large opposing fan leaves high up on her stalk. they are clearly blocking the growth under them. Now it's being mentioned, brb, need the clean the pruning sheers.. AZ Nutrients: CalMag is still at 0.5ml/l though, as seen on the pictures, there is something odd going on with her older fan leaves. The yellowing issue from AH is now with AZ as well affecting the older growth. I was able to capture it properly in a picture this time. So what's up with it? Too much CalMag? Too little? Is it sign of a different issue? Too little Nitrogen? Let's hope the new feeding shines a light on what is going on. BioGrow is still at 1ml/l. This will be increased according to the recommended feeding schedule from BioBizz. BioBloom and BioMax were both introduced today too. Both at 1ml/l. Yes, full dose from the start. She received her first feeding today. I'll check up on every 6 hours (or so) the next 76hours and see how she responds to the new nutrients. Any signs of dissatisfaction and the soil will get flushed. If she smiles though... 😎 See you all with the next update. Update 31 October 2024: AH and AZ doing very well. No signs of light burn on AZ as she continues to grow towards the light. She's now within the 40 cm distance range from the lamp. As long as she's enjoying the par!!
