Not first Automatic but First Granddaddy

RiLo117 She stands at my south-facing window and gets 8 hours of pure sunlight daily, depending on the weather conditions. Now the weather has been mixed, with some days rainy, some changeable, and some dry. I water her very little, as the weather should regulate that. Only with a spray bottle do I water the edge of the pot when it's dry, and the plant itself gets 50-100ml of water on sunny days (25-28°C).

RiLo117 The weather is and remains changeable; according to the weather report, the week will start off pleasant with 24°C, and from Friday on, there will be a lot of rain and clouds. It will stay cool, as the low from Denmark is pushing its fronts south. The plant is therefore also growing a bit slower than previous grows. The sun is just a bit lacking, but I think the GP Auto will still find ways to grow nicely :) I'm curious to see how it develops this week. I actually don't want to have to use any more nutrients, but we'll see how GP unfolds.

RiLo117 Yes, she's growing! The weather isn't really aligning with my wishes... I'm just letting her grow naturally. The weather is supposed to get better, and I'm hoping for some growth! The pre-flowering stage is also coming up soon. Let's see how big she gets now. I'm going to fertilize, maybe one last time with BioBizz Grow in the next few days.

RiLo117 The weather is warm! The plant gets 8 1/2 hours of sunlight daily. It stops in the late afternoon. There's still some shade light in the evening, but I think the sunlight exposure is more than enough. :) I'm now watering it with 1 liter of water because it's just too warm. It's also received some nettle tea. Hopefully, the pre-flowering will kick in soon. :)

RiLo117 Yeah! It's growing and growing. A few days ago, to save on all the liquid fertilizer, I mixed some charcoal that I picked up from campfire sites lightly into the top layers of soil. I've heard that fresh ash and charcoal are supposed to be very good fertilizers for blooms. The blooms are finally clearly visible now, but I think I'll harvest the little plant 2 weeks later than what the seed bank suggested.

RiLo117 Let them bloom and bloom!

RiLo117 The weather was only briefly rainy on Thursday and Friday. Otherwise, it was nice and warm with daytime temperatures of 20-27°C and nighttime temperatures dropping to 14-10°C. I water in the morning with 0.7 L and in the afternoon with 0.8 L. I removed a few old leaves on Friday. The weather at the end of the week was wonderfully warm during the day at 22-27°C, and at night the temperatures dropped to 9°C. I hope it turns purple in the end. :)

RiLo117 She's blooming and blooming. What's important for me now is to keep an eye on the buds, as mold formation is definitely possible due to weather fluctuations. However, I hope she manages. I occasionally remove a few old leaves. But I'm still refraining from complete defoliation since the buds aren't ready yet. Only when brown hairs start to form and the plant is about a quarter orange-haired do I want to remove the large leaves. I believe that the leaves are still supplying the not-yet-mature buds with nutrients, so I'm waiting a bit longer. In a few days, I will fertilize with Hesi Bloom Complex and then just water. And it was super windy! She definitely got good ventilation multiple times over the two days. ;D

RiLo117 Hey! The week starts off windy and cool. But it's supposed to get warmer again over the weekend. This changeable weather is good for the buds, but I still have some concerns about mold formation. From now on, I'm only watering with water and keeping an eye on the flowers. I think by the end of next week, I'll harvest them. I'm mainly watching the flowers now. The weekend brings me wonderfully warm days. :)

RiLo117 The last week of flowering has begun. I will harvest this week. It looks incredibly beautiful and is getting bigger and more purple. :)
