I am surprised by these autos. They are all showing strength and lush foliage.
Purplematic started its blooming period after just 2 and a half weeks. This created a brief deficiency of phosphorus and potassium. As I had not added any nuts with those two components. It took only a week to rebalance the nuts in the medium, increasing P&K and reducing N. The plant is versatile and LST did very well. However, the brief vegetative stage will leave the plant small, so I am very curious to see how much I will be able to harvest. My impression is that this strain is built to last 7-8 weeks total as advertised by RQS. So, the plant starts flowering very early, stays small and produces no more than 50g/plant. Let's see how this is going to play out in reality.
CBD 20:1 is coming up strong with lush vegetation. It is not really keen to undergo LST, as it wants to keep its main cola strong and higher than any other branch. In fact, trying to bend two of the three branches I damaged them and I had to put some tape around the damaged area. It has now healed completely without impacting its growth during the recovery.
Pink Kush is one week younger than the other two, however it does not show at all. It appears to be the strongest. Also this strain has resisted to LST, and its main cola was really stiff to bend. However, I was able to work on it without damaging the branches. Overall this strain is responding very well.
p.s. sorry if I uploaded two pictures only, but I was not planning to showcase the growth. From next week I will upload many more pictures.
