Auto Maui

Ratle Nothing fancy, producing first true leaves

Ratle She's growing nice and stout, nodes are close together. Started training

Ratle She's taking off, started feeding this week 1/4 dose and training continues

Ratle Did a decent defoliation at the beginning of the week. Lights at 100%. Nutes are now at 50% and time to add the flower ones. I noticed she started to take off two days ago. Flower here we come.

Ratle all is well as she continues to stretch, faint sign of pistils forming. Not as bushy as her neighbor but this is a sativa dominate strain. She's closer to 20 inches tall accounting for the LST

Ratle Being an auto, I believe I was off by 3 - 4 days and ended up doing a light prune and good defoliation early. Normal for me is after 3 weeks into flower. I think what fooled me was a normal burst of growth because she's sativa dominate hybrid. She is just a trial to see if my partner likes her help so I wanted to take some risk to see what training she could handle. She has filled in some and continues to gain height. Tops that lay horizontal from LST perk right back towards the light in normal time, seems like she didn't mind. Time will tell how much it may affects harvest. Counting in the LST she is at 23" height, ran out of room to further LST but that would have to stop soon anyway. Two plants in a 32" wide tent, cover that distance easy. Both are over 24" wide and overlapping to much.

Ratle She had a decent defoliation and dose of sledgehammer for last watering. Feed her today and looking forward to some strong bud development to start taking place this coming week. The main cola got away from me and is 3 inches taller than the majority of the others. I noticed the stems on the bud sites started growing longer and filling in the spaces. Her nodes on the branches were far apart a few weeks ago, the leaves started coming out staggered instead of opposite each other but they appear to be reaching for each other for a nice bud. She ended up growing about 2 1/2 times her size during the stretch when I account for the bends of the branches from LST.

Ratle The end of the week is showing some nice growth as were approaching the half way mark. She still has 5 to 6 weeks to go. Some nice stacking starting to show along with trichomes everywhere. Hoping for that foot long bud when she's finished. Added a pic of the trimmings from both plants. Should be the last major defoliation.

Ratle She is taking her time developing but still has a long way to go but she is living up to her genetics and is covered in trichomes. She is handling the nutes and lights better than her neighbor. I would like to lower the light but it's too much for the Indica next to her. No signs of stress but the very tips of her leaves are showing some brown.
