Red Velvet Auto by Paradise Seeds mit Wizzy's Garten (deutsch)

Growtopus The plant gets light 24/7. The GCx 4 PWR is running at about 40% Veg and 20% Bloom for the full light spectrum. It was watered once with about 300 ml around the seedling, and a few days later, 1 liter was distributed over the entire pot to allow the endo-mycorrhiza to spread.

Growtopus Today on day 9, I gave 2 liters of water distributed across the entire pot. This way, the mycorrhiza and roots can find water in every direction and spread out. I think in the next few days we will see explosive growth because the roots should slowly be reaching the nutrient-rich soil. Between day 9 and 11, the nutrient-rich soil was probably reached, and from now on it will likely grow much faster.

Growtopus Lost track a bit. Got sick, then a lot of work and no time. The plant had some issues in between because I gave it way too much water, and that cost it a solid week. Anyway, now it looks healthy and is going into flowering. It got 1x 100 ml FertiPlus 5-1-5+ and a high dose of Pflanzengeflüster, which got it back on track. Training was done only through targeted defoliation of individual sun leaves and with LST clips. Day 34: Overall, the plant looks great again, maybe a bit small for its age. Did some heavy training today.

Growtopus The plant was really thirsty and got 10 L right away, that should be enough for now. Additionally, it was sprayed with a high dose of Plant Whisper (Harpin protein), which is still okay this early in flowering, but that was the last application of it overall. Some lower shoots and leaves were removed, and some shoots were "repositioned" via Super Cropping so that the tent is nicely filled out. I didn't have enough time to take proper care of the plant during the veg stage, so this had to happen now. Hopefully, that wasn't too much stress. The plant was sprayed with 4 g / 1 L of Plant Whisper until it was dripping wet. The rest was distributed to other plants. The drain in the tray remains and should be soaked up soon - the coloring comes from the soil itself.

Growtopus End of week 7. I've properly defoliated the good one, removed mini buds, and bent everything so it gets good light. On day 48, I used 2.5 g of Plant Whisper (Harpin protein) in 1 L of water as a root drench, since I don't want to spray anything anymore this far into flowering, even though Harpin works much better through foliar feeding. I made a mistake in the initial soil mix regarding the amount of nutrients, so the missing 200 g were added on top of the substrate and then covered with fresh soil.

Growtopus At the end of week 8, there will be another update. The buds have really taken off, the combination of FertiPlus and honey works wonders. Additionally, the shoots were tied back a bit again, so there's enough space between the buds. Unfortunately, the humidity shot up enormously, which completely messed up the VPD and the plant developed a calcium deficiency. To counter that, there was an extra dose of Weedtamine and the dehumidifier was placed in the tent.

Growtopus Day 63. Most of the trichomes are already milky, just how I want it, so I’ll be harvesting in a few days. So far, it smells like fruitcake on biscuit dough, just unbelievably delicious and fruity. She's not getting any more water now, the soil is still moist and that’s more than enough until harvest. According to Paradise Seeds, the plant should take about 70 days, and we’re right on track.

Growtopus Tag 65 The probably last photo round before the harvest. No more watering now, the humidity will be lowered as much as possible (I just can't get it below 60% in the basement during rainy weather). The scent is a bit hard to describe, but it's definitely leaning towards strawberry cake/fruit cake, the buds are densely packed with trichomes, there are a bit fewer on the leaves, which is actually pretty good overall. Almost all trichomes are milky, only on the lower buds are some clear ones still visible. No more nutrients, boosters, or water until the harvest, it will just ripen now and then it will be chopped.

Growtopus The last week has arrived, and we carefully trimmed for about 2 1/2 hours together. Now it's time to wait.
