The seed spent 24 hours in a glass with a couple drops of peroxide and released a root, then it was planted and after 1.5 days broke through to the surface. Rusty will be in a cut bottle of beer volume 1.5 liters. Maybe a little less. At the bottom of the bottle about 6 cm of coarse perlite and a single hole in the side just below the level of perlite. The rest is coco. Goal: to grow a small plant and water it only a couple times a week. 10-15 grams dry would be enough for me. The necessary nutrition will come from the bottom of the pot where the perlite is. The system is called coco hempy backet. It's a kind of passive hydro.
I fed her on a G-M-B scheme of 0.25-2.25-2.25-2 ml/l with dilution to 500 ppm. That's 120-45-107-135-37-40. But I'm afraid there is too much calcium and not enough phosphorus and magnesium, so I will now feed G-M-B 0.5-2-2.5 ml/l (115-58-133-120-48-50)
There were problems. My cat ate part of the plant. I had to make a topping. Also the stupid nutrients in terra aquatica caused problems on some of the leaves. I think I was able to fix it. I changed the fertilizer to Plagron.
End of 4th week. The plant is four weeks old now, but it still hasn't shown any signs of blooming. Sadness.
It's been 30 days since sprouting. There are no pistils on the plant. There's no indication that it's about to bloom. That means it's not an autoflower. I have no way to switch the lights to 12/12 and no way to wait to see if maybe someday it will bloom. I wasted my time. I'm disappointed and frustrated. Rate 0/10.
Hi there! It seems like your plant went through significant stress😔😔😔—cat damage, topping, and troubles with nutrients (excess calcium, lack of phosphorus and magnesium early on). Autoflowers are very sensitive to stress—topping, damage, or nutrient issues can shock them, preventing flowering. It’s best to keep them stress-free to ensure proper growth and blooming. For next time, avoid topping autoflowers, provide balanced nutrients from the start, and keep the plant stress-free (and away from cats!))))).🐈
@Doctors_Choice, Hi. I have grown probably 15-20 different autoflowering varieties from different banks. I grow in a very limited space up to 5 plants in a 45x45 cm area. Usually in 1-2 liter pots. To control their height I always put them under severe stress: toping, supercropping and even main-lining. I also often experiment with nutrients, so my plants often have related problems. But. They always flower by 3-5 weeks or at least show the first stigmas. And by the way, in small pots and with nutrient stress, they tend to flower a week earlier than in comfortable conditions. Yeah, my 15-20 plants are not your 15-20,000. But there's also the experience of plenty of other growers who grow the same way. And this is enough to be skeptical of the talk about stress and cats. I bought your strain because I have a lot of respect for you, and I see the respect you have in the grover community. I thought it would be the perfect autoflowering indica. So my disappointment was much greater than if I had experienced a bummer with some Bullshit Seed. Don't tell me about magnesium, phosphorus and cat. Don't add to my disappointment.
