Mango Cream Auto and Strawberry Cola Auto by Exotic Seeds

DedeLirante They started growing well but as I set the light a bit far from the plants, they started to stretching. I adjusted the light height and they started to develop better. I'm just using tap water with starting EC in 0.4. PH 6.0 🌞 250ppfd 🌡️~25°C 💧~45% 📏 40cm distance Day 1 - 06/04/25 Watered with 250ml of water Day 3 - 08/04/25 Watered with 250ml of water Day 5 - 10/04/2025 Watered with 330ml of water+ 6ml of Athena Bloom B+A+1ml of Athena Cleanse Day 7 - 12/04/2025 Watered with 400ml of water

DedeLirante This week I did some adjustments on light distance, ppfd and humidity. I put a humidifier to increase RN until around 70%, which is the recommendation for veggie, based on my researches. They respond very quickly and demonstrated to have a good development ahead. Good adjustments to provide the correct environment for them. This week I started administrating the recommended dosage of nutrients and then, I remembered my first grow which I did an overfert, an also a trail with s friend to use nutrients add minimum as the plants need. So, I decided to reduce the nutrients to half recommended dosage and increase by the time. ⏫🌞 450ppfd ⏬🌡️~23°C ⏫💧~67% ⏫📏 50cm distance Day 9 - 14/04/2025 Watered with 600ml of water + 13ml of Athena Grow B+A + 2,5ml of Athena Cleanse + 4ml of Athena Calmag Day 13 - 17/04/2025 (Humidificator installed to correct and increase the humidity) Watered with 1L of water + 10ml of Athena Grow B+A + 1,66ml of Athena Cleanse + 2,33ml of Athena Calmag PH 6.0

DedeLirante This week they took 4 days to get the soil dry. I did a trip to London and Paris, for the first time, which were amazing cities, and left a friend that never touched in plants to water and do the topping assisted by a video that I left and by photos and consultancy that I should provide him. On day 17, on the perfect window to do the topping without affecting the plants development, my friend did his job watering and did the consultancy for topping. I use to leave 4 nodes, cutting above the 3rd node as high as possible to avoid the trunk split during the plant life,l. So, my friend did the topping right in 1 Strawberry Cola and cut above the 4th node instead of on top of 3rd node, leaving 6 nodes on the other Strawberry Cola and Mango Cream To avoid doing another top out of "top windows" and stress the plant starting the flowering prematurely, I decided to test 2 with 6 nodes and 1 with 4 nodes. Day 17 - 21/04/2025 Watered with 1L of tap water with EC 0.4 and corrected the PH to 5.8 this time. 🌞 450ppfd 🌡️~23°C 💧~67% 📏 50cm distance I use to start the LST trainings om the same day, but it would be too much to ask for my friend ahahaha. Then, I decided do the LST when I back, 3 days later.

DedeLirante On day 20, as I'm including as a beginning of 3rd week, I back from my vacations and did the LST on all of them. On 6 nodes plants, I redirected the lower and upper nodes in different positions in order to organize having the same light penetration on them. Before do the LST, I use to water with nutrients to allow the plant recovery well from the training. ⏫🌞 650ppfd 🌡️~25°C 💧~65% ⏬📏 40cm distância Day 20 - 24/04/2025 Watered 1L of water + 7ml of Athena Grow B+A + 2,33ml of Athena Cleanse + 3,33ml of Athena Calmag PH 6.0 4 days late, they already pointed up and seems healthy to what is the last week growing and start to prepare for blooming. Then, I increased the water volume and the nutrients for the next watering. Day 24 - 28/04/2025 Watered 2L of tap water + 29ml of Athena Grow B+A + 10ml of Athena Cleanse + 12ml of Athena Calmag PH 6.0 And they were ready for another LST session and some light defoliation just on the big leafs on the bottom and the ones acting as a shadow for the other nodes. After the LST session they got positioned to have a good canopy and light penetration with the branches levelled. What recovery very well 2-3 days later and pointed up again as seems preparing for blooming.

DedeLirante I'm considering this week then "Transition week" going from growing phase to blooming phase. They pointed up and started the blooming process, develop the node to become flowers. One Strawberry Cola is a bit late on development and is still not showing bloom signals. Day 28 - 01/05/2025 Late developed Strawberry Cola As this plant didn't show bloom signals, I leverage to apply another LST session because it was ambushed and the node were not receiving equal light penetration. So, I redirect some branches out and other pointing to the center. Watered with 2L of tap water with 29ml of Athena Grow B+A + 10ml of Athena Cleanse and 12 of Athena CalMag. PH 6.0 Mango Cream and Strawberry Cola blooming As these plants started blooming, I decided to stop add grow nutrients and just served with Athena Cleanse and CalMag this time, to do the transition to bloom nutrients starting just next watering. Watered with 2L of tap water with 15ml of Athena Cleanse and 20ml of Athena CalMag. PH 6.0 ⏫🌞750ppfd Cheers!

DedeLirante This week the girls started blooming hard. It started to have a good smell. One Strawberry Cola and the Mango Cream are going very well and started to develop the buds and I can see some growing in the middle stems too. It's a nice signal. With topping and LST, I could reach a good branches leveling and a very good canopy. Hope it will go fine. The other Strawberry Cola, after the last LST session, recovered very well and started to point up and preparing to bloom hard soon. This plant has a shorter structure, what we can expect a huge and fat buds as my last one. That's why I love the Exotic Seeds. I cautiously selected that strains dure the size and bud sizes. My last grow I could get 78 grams from a Sir Jack Auto from them too. Hope I'll repeat the dosage and get a good harvest with their guarantee quality. I'll keep you updated asap they grow. This week is a work in progress and should be updated frequently until we close and go for the next week post. Cheers.
