Butterfly - Gubblebum Auto [G5]

UnorthadoxDude Welcome to week one, this will be a greenhouse grow but for now this one is being started in a small pot of coco, after popping in paper towel. I will update throughout the week so check back later for more. Day 1 - Welcome to the world little Butterfly! Day 3 - Butterfly isl stretching. Not a huge amount I can currently do about that. Day 6 - Have raised up a little, hoping to relieve the stretch. She is leggy so I have had to add supports. When I plant her into the ground I will plant her a bit deeper to resolve this issue. Day 7 - Fertigated 0.33l Special thanks to St Aubins Genetics for providing the seeds for this grow. Check them out at www.staubingenetics.com

UnorthadoxDude Week four! Butterfly is desperate to get outside, I am hoping it will be tomorrow. She is well into flower now, I must have shocked her I think there is no doubt. Day 26 - Photographed. Fertigated 1.5l Special thanks to St Aubins Genetics for providing the seeds for this grow. Check them out at www.staubingenetics.com

UnorthadoxDude Week five! Butterfly is still inside! I will be putting her outside soon. Butterfly is moving rapidly into flower, I stressed her into flowering early I think. Day 28 Photographed. Update: Greenhouse is built!! Will be moving Butterfly out tomorrow. Day 32 - Planted out into the greenhouse and fertigated 5l. After attempting to prepare the ground for transplant, I discovered that it was compacted, dry, and full of tree roots - very hard to work and very poor quality. The time to prepare the soil, and the cost of the amendments I would need have forced my hand somewhat and I have had to improvise. So let me present to you my hybrid growing strategy for this plant: coco-in-ground. I've dug a big 50l (13.2 gal) hole and filled it with Canna Professional Plus Coco Coir mixed with 20% horticultural perlite. I will continue to feed coco nutrients as if the plant was simply in a 50l pot. However if she wants to root herself into the ground also? That's her business. By now you guys following me should expect things like this, you know I love to experiment. Special thanks to St Aubins Genetics for providing the seeds for this grow.

UnorthadoxDude Week six! Butterfly is still chugging along - not mus to report really, she's stopped stretching and is piling on the pistils. Day 36 - Photographed and fertigated 5l each. Day 38 - Photographed. I do feel it was my fault stunting this girl, but she will stay the size she is now. Special thanks to St Aubins Genetics for providing the seeds for this grow.

UnorthadoxDude Week seven! Butterfly is still chugging along but she is not going to get any bigger - she will just continue developing into flower and remain a small wee plant. Smells nice though! In retrospect I regret digging such a big hole and using so much coco for this plant. However it will not go to waste as I reuse my coco-coir multiple times. Day 46 - Fertigated 5l Special thanks to St Aubins Genetics for providing the seeds for this grow. Check them out at www.staubingenetics.com P.S. Come and find me on X.com! @Unorthadoxdude
