Lemon AK Auto

Samsimillia The first 3 weeks. I plan to let the plant grow mostly on its own and just do a bit of defoliation here and there. Until the 3rd week, I only added Power Roots, Pure Zym, and Myrkhoriza, as I often had a very high EC in the drain with the Lightmix.

Samsimillia In week 4, the plant shows good growth. I started with a light feeding (Terra Grow, Power Roots, Pure Zym, Calmag). I also removed 2 fan leaves to give the side branches more light.

Samsimillia I defoliated the plant a bit and removed 2 small lower shoots. I also removed the fan leaves on the main stem so that the plant grows as evenly as possible. Here and there, the plant has some first white hairs. So from now on, I will leave the plant alone for a while so it can fully concentrate on the transition.

Samsimillia The plant is fully stretching and showing the first flower pistils. I will slowly switch to the bloom fertilizer. I'll give her another 1-2 weeks before I defoliate again and do some lollipopping.

Samsimillia The pictures are before and after defoliation and lollipopping. I hope that didn't stress the plant too much and that it's now directing its energy towards the upper buds. The EC and pH values are on point, and it has shot up significantly in the last few days. It's drinking well and gets 3 liters of nutrient solution every 2-3 days. Currently, it's getting a light mix of 0.5 ml/L Terra Grow, 1 ml/L Terra Bloom, and various additives like Pure Zym, Power Roots (which I will slowly stop using), and Power Buds. I'm having a hard time controlling the temperatures, and I've dimmed the lamp to 5/10, so I'm currently at 140 W. Since I've previously achieved good results with a 70W, I'm confident that should be enough. Unfortunately, on hot days, it still reaches around 30 degrees in the tent. It's not too bad yet; it seems to be doing well. However, that would be a bit too hot during the main flowering stage. So far, as far as I can remember, I've never had such a healthy plant. I hope it stays this way until harvest.

Samsimillia It's a bit hot in the tent right now... Partially over 30 degrees. But it doesn't seem to bother her at all, on the contrary, she feels absolutely great. She's shot up almost 20cm in height in the last week. The flowering is also progressing nicely. She drinks about 3.5 liters in 2-3 days. What can I say, if it keeps going like this, it's going to be a monster. The pH value is stable, and the EC value is also at 1.2 for both the watering and the drain. Maybe I can even increase the nutrient addition a bit more.

Samsimillia It's growing nicely and looks great. EC is also stable at 1.3-4 EC and the pH value is at 6.3 in the drain. The watering water is also at 1.4 EC and 6.2 pH. Since it's an autoflower, I don't want to push the EC too much, but I might increase it a bit if necessary. I last watered with Terra Bloom, Green Sensation, Sugar Royale, Pure Zym, Power Buds, and Calmag.

Samsimillia The buds are slowly getting fatter. There's a nice sweet lemony smell coming through. She's drinking well, about 3-4 L in 3 days. She's also taking up nutrients well, the EC in the drain is stable and as high as the watering water at 1.3-4. I'm very satisfied.

Samsimillia The buds could still get a bit fatter, but they look great. Overall, it's actually a very healthy plant, but unfortunately, it's hermaphrodite and has developed some seeds here and there. I hope it stays under control and I can still get something decent out of it. It smells incredibly delicious, lemony and fruity.
