Wurlz F1 Auto

HazetownGrowt2021 After 4 days in the propagation box, all 5 seeds have turned into seedlings and have now been repotted. They are at 70-75% RH, 23-24°C, and 30% light in the big box. I decided on 11L fabric pots because they will be done in 10 weeks. In the soil, I added a mycorrhiza mix for root development and a granular fertilizer (Monster Bud Mix). Since the soil is also lightly pre-fertilized and automatics generally need less, they will only get a light grow fertilizer in weeks 4-5, and even then only 50-75% of the recommended amount. My first F1, I've heard a lot about it and I'm very curious to see if it will be worth it.

HazetownGrowt2021 Arrived in week 2, all the plants look good, although favorites and stragglers are already forming. The light is now at 55% and will be gradually increased. Some individual plants needed a little support again, which is common at this stage.

HazetownGrowt2021 Week 3 Day 20: Start with the LST

HazetownGrowt2021 The plants are developing great and are responding very well to the light training. Little by little, I'm tightening the wires, aiming to make all the shoots grow to a similar height.

HazetownGrowt2021 In week 5, the plant shows the first signs of flowering, soon it will stretch and significantly increase in height. The LST has been well accepted by each plant, and the one in the front left, which was initially the weakest and smallest, now has 9 shoots that are at the same height. Day 28/63-70 (According to the breeder) On day 32, there was a flowering boost in the form of 0.8l of compost and 6g of Bat Guano per plant. Bat Guano is a strong organic fertilizer, rich in phosphorus and potassium, perfect for flowering, and the compost provides a slow and natural nutrient release while improving soil structure. I was very careful with the dosing, as Automatics need less and are a bit sensitive to over-fertilization. With the compost and Bat Guano mix, I reduce the risk of nutrient lockout and enhance the microbiology in the soil.

HazetownGrowt2021 Just before the start of week 6, the plants look magnificent. They've really taken to the bloom boost from bat guano and compost. The G1500 is now at 100%, and the plants are reaching towards it. I'm still not 100% happy with the plant in the back right, so I removed a few large fan leaves and hope that the lower shoots will grow up to height. Overall, everything is going perfectly according to plan. In about 5 weeks, the harvest will be here, so the plants need to keep pushing until then.

HazetownGrowt2021 Arrived in week 7 (day 44) and everything is going perfectly according to plan. I'm continuing to add nutrients with the Bionova Bud Boost Mix and the plants love it. I expect a great harvest in about 3-4 weeks!

HazetownGrowt2021 On day 49, the plants have entered the main flowering stage. Now the buds are getting thicker and will slowly start to turn brown/amber. The plants have been getting their additional nutrients every week and look very healthy and stable. Day 49/70, so the plants will be ready in just about three weeks, stay tuned!

HazetownGrowt2021 Final sprint in week 9, and the plants look great. This week, the last nutrient will be given, and it's likely that the harvest will happen a bit earlier than day 70. In the meantime, the plant is shedding some leaves because it's putting a lot of energy into the buds. I'm looking forward to a great harvest and expecting 20-30g dry per plant.

HazetownGrowt2021 The final stretch is here and the plants are looking magnificent. The leaves are mostly a rich green, indicating good nutrient supply. A few lower leaves show yellowing, which is completely normal at this stage of flowering as the plant redirects energy. From now on, I will be observing the trichomes daily to determine the right time for harvest. Personally, I really enjoy the couchlock effect, so I will probably wait until just before week 10 to harvest.

HazetownGrowt2021 On day 64, I couldn't wait any longer and cut the little ones down. I'll update the dry weight later.
