RDWC - Orange Sherbet Auto

High_And_Hydro She's making the best of her situation and trying to emulate her role models by growing. That's how I like it 💪👽👍

High_And_Hydro She has finally moved into her permanent home after I had to rearrange her several times. From now on, there should be some peace, and I hope she likes her spot, as she didn't seem very happy before and her leaves were already a bit twisted after she had stretched so much. Let's see what else I can get out of her.

High_And_Hydro She still needs to get used to her new location, and so far I'm not too happy with her growth. The lower leaves were twisted at first and they're drooping. I'll keep an eye on her to see if she bounces back; otherwise, I might have to start a new one that doesn't have to go through as much stress in its early days as this one.

High_And_Hydro She has been struggling a lot with the high VPD in the meantime, as it’s very dry here right now and the humidity is only at 40%. Also, there was a slight discoloration of the roots, so I’m trying hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in this run. I’m not exactly sure where this discoloration is coming from. It’s a bit like the color of the new expanded clay or maybe the new Rhizotonic. This time it’s definitely darker than my last bottle. Overall, the little flower has had to endure quite a bit, but she’s fighting through it and doesn’t look too bad at all. She has a little companion now, it’s a Banana Purple Punch Auto also from Fastbuds. 💪😈👍 Update: The fear has come true, she has root rot. I’ve flushed her with hydrogen peroxide, and I also flushed the system, which really took a toll on her. The shoots were drooping quite a bit on the first day, but she wasn’t the most vigorous plant anyway. 24 hours later she looks a bit better and the new roots seem to be growing in white. I’ve definitely learned how to flush with H2O2 and how the plant behaves with root rot. The signs had been visible for a while, and I could have reacted much earlier, which I will definitely do next time if it comes to that again. I’m now running her with 2 ml/l H2O2 permanently. I want to replace Cannazym with this, as it smells too disgusting to me and I feel like I’m buying 1L of piss for 20 bucks. The advantage of H2O2 is the oxygen enrichment of the nutrient solution, although HOCL is supposed to be even better in terms of stability. It’s supposed to keep the system as sterile as possible at the same time. I’ll see if I was successful in the next few days, keep your fingers crossed for me. 👍

High_And_Hydro I flushed her with 12% H2O2 at 10 ml/l and it took her a few days to recover. Now she's running continuously with 2 ml/l H2O2, let's see if I keep her or dispose of her. Edit: She seems to have recovered and is growing again, but I think the internodes are a bit large.

High_And_Hydro She's doing quite well considering I was ready to dispose of her. She'll probably make it, even though she's unlikely to set any records. The H2O2 treatment worked, and she's recovering, albeit slowly, and I'm not sure how much damage has already been done in the end.

High_And_Hydro This one is probably going to be huge. At least I haven't really had to defoliate so far, just snipped a leaf here and there. It's been very low maintenance so far. 👽👍 Edit: I secured it with a wire to a brick and I'm pulling the main stem a bit over so it doesn't grow into the filter fleece of the carbon filter. It's so huge 😅

High_And_Hydro She's a Herbert, so I first gave her a proper shave and inspected her. That was the only node where I found the things. Hopefully, it stays that way, I'll keep an eye on it 😧

High_And_Hydro Yeah, so she hasn't formed any more pollen sacs so far, and she stopped growing about a hand's width away from the lamp. Just in time, I would say.

High_And_Hydro The buds are growing slowly, and overall the plant is forming quite a bit of frost; even the stems have nice trichomes, and it smells extremely delicious. This is definitely going to taste great 😋👍

High_And_Hydro She's growing very slowly and is also nearing her end. The buds are very frosty, but they have a poor structure, which I attribute to the issues at the beginning. I still have one seed left, and she will get another try since she smells super delicious and will surely taste good too. There are still clear trichomes visible, but I don't want to leave her standing for too long. She'll probably come down this weekend. All in all, the attempt with different plant phases in one tent has just been a total failure, and I will go back to doing one cycle after another in the future.

High_And_Hydro It's still curing in the Fumu bucket and will go into the jar in about two weeks. Currently, the humidity is around 62%, but I would like to bring it down a bit more to 58%. The bucket is supplied with fresh air by the air pump twice a day for 30 minutes, and I "shake" it once daily to mix everything up a bit and prevent any spots from forming. You can see how the humidity is developing at the current setting on the chart.
