So I'm still flushing and she is absolutely starving by the end of this week. I gave her about 0.75l of water on Day 81 with a trace of veg food (literally one drop) as the fan leaves are getting really yellow. I am currently smoking the main cola - it is very good, I can tell you. But you could shine a torch through it, it is so lacking in density.
Hence I am staying very disciplined with the rest of the plant, which is currently nearing 50% bronze. But based on this morning's trichome pic (day85) I have not harvested any more today.
I can't help thinking that if she had continued on an 18/6 light cycle she would have been harvested by now.
This plant shares a tent with a photoperiod which I need to switch to flowering (it is getting too big). Does anyone know what effect, if any, would there be on yield if I moved the light schedule to 12/12 at this late stage?
Automatics are able to finish during 12/12, even from seed to harvest, thats no problem. Some say the yield will be a bit lower but i don´t know if that is true. I don´t think so, if photoperiodic can give high yields under 12/12, then Automatics should also deliver.
Looking really good, man!
Have you topped the plant ?
I have three Automatics in my diary in week three now.
If you have the time please check it out and comment what you think about it :)
Nice weekend!
These lady's are looking great I've seen some dwarfs get really big this size seems manageable, I have 5 growing because It said 60cm max but I've seen people say theirs get to 100cm lol I hope I haven't bitten of more than I can chew for my first time 😫 good luck with the rest of your grow 👍
@Smok3y_J, I reckon she could go to 1m, but you would need to get her stretching for light source and no training. This one: the main cola got to 37cm, the rest around 33cm. Ripening up nicely! Thinking about a staged harvest like @cbdbusho did.
hey buddy !! If I can afford to give you an advice for next session….defoliate in this flower stage is not recommended….especially for autos plant….
what is done is done !!
it s difficult to be plenty affirmative where i am 😜 but the buds pics you show seems to me not mature yet…!! what do you think ??
@Budofpray, don't know mate. I notice her water consumption has gone down since haircut. I read somewhere that if I didn't expose the lower colas to light, they wouldn't produce much. She seems a healthy colour. Did I defoliate too early? Or too late?
Hi! Do you have a fan in your growroom? how often do you water your plant? normally it's enough to water aprox. every 3 days. let the top layer of your soil getting dry and mold shouldn't be a problem. put your finger in the soil. if the soil is still wet in aprox. 3 cm deep you can water again.
@howie03, I have 2 usb desktop fans in my 0.6 x 0.6m space. I water by weight in 2 l batches, when the weight of the pot "feels" dry, I water the next day.
