Gnomo Auto - you shouldn't mainline an auto, dummy!
Kannabia is responsible for some of my favourite grow experiences, and Mataro Blue in particular was a great strain for me in the evening - super relaxing, guaranteed to put you to sleep. That's why I was very excited when I received Gnomo Auto as a gift at the last Mary Jane trade fair; it's the automatic version of Mataro Blue.
My tent has room for three plants, but I wanted more. That's why this grow will be a mini grow. Mini plant, smaller pot and manyfolding. Before anyone gets the idea of commenting that you don't do that with automatics - sue me, I do what I want! :D
I loved my first experience with Bio Tabs - great effect for very little effort. So this will be a Bio Tabs grow again.
The seed has germinated after 5 days. At the moment the lady is in a 3-litre pot, but that will change as soon as there is more space in the grow box. She won't get much more space - I reckon on 5 or 10 litres at most - but that doesn't matter. This grow is additional luxury.
Merhaba miteinander!
Of course we all know that this is no gnome. But it is the most gnome-like of all the figurines in my Lego collection, and beggars can't be choosers.
The plant is growing well. The light spots on the upper leaves are genetic, but the yellowish tips of the lower leaves are the result of careless watering - mea culpa.
It's a bit ironic that a plant called ‘Gnomo’, which has to live in almost the smallest of pots, should grow so tall. I waited until 5 nodes had formed and then cut everything back to the third pair of leaves. Small spoiler: Now, two days later, the two remaining branches are already growing like crazy again, I have to think about training every day to keep everything nice and horizontal. All in all, very nice! Hopefully she will wait with the flowering until my plan (to get 4 buds at the end) is realised.
I am new to this mainlining, but the remaining twings grew rapidly and so strong that keeping them horizontal and straight without breaking them is not easy. I'm happy I managed the last two cuts before the first signs of flowering, because I have the feeling that it won't be long from now.
Nothing can stop this gnome!
Everything's going according to plan. She has 4 strong twigs left and I try to keep them even. It's fun! Next run will be 3-4 photoperiodic plants, and I want to try this technique again. I like how symmetric it stays.
I never thought I would love this plant so much. As you may remember, this was actually a bonus project - small pot, a - according to the description - rather small plant and I intended to see if an autoflower could withstand mainlining.
It really has become my favourite plant in the grow box. I can't believe how beautifully vigorous it is. Look at how thick the flowers are after just one week. (It's "hedgehog season", thanks for the new term, Cyrusdavirus!)
I only left four main branches, and the effect of this is that I now have no difficulty at all in giving all the flowers enough light, because everything grows so regularly and next to each other, not on top of each other. I think I always want to do that now. You don't get the maximum yield, but I really enjoy having so much control when growing.
Hey friend, 🧡 Thank you for making such a special space for our Gnomo Auto. We also want to thank you for the kind words you've dedicated to its older sister, Mataro Blue. We hope you form as great a team with one as you did with the other. 🌱 From Kannabia, we're sending you our strongest orange vibes for that to happen!! ✨
Awesome!!, all the best with your kannabia run, I completely agree with your statement about kannabia, all of their grows have been amazing with mine also, they have some special genetics indeed 🔥
The technique is going great my friend 🌱 gnomo is looking super happy! I just started the process the other day with my photoperiod from doctors choice 💚🌱
Nice , i always like it, if Grower talk about their experiences. with strains, envoirement and strains, there is always alot to learn
pls keep on sharing your thoughts
and happy growing for your Gnomo Auto
