AK-47 Auto + Gelato #41 Fem

Gabgrow First week and our AK47 auto is showing some weird leaf formation. I Have grown this strain from this breeder before and got the same "mutation". I heard that "Seis Pés" sell mainly bulk seeds, but got some good results on a Blueberry auto and the one AK with the same mutation is doing fine despite everything. I will have to wait and see. Not much on the gelatos besides a little floopy stem, which I amended with some wire guidance. Soil has been a little more wet than I planned due to high humidity, causing the development of some kind of moss on the perlite of the substract.

Gabgrow not much on this week besides a little increase in light intensity to 40%. still having trouble with fungs gnats but already ordered new stick traps and an organic biodefensive solution (EMS5). thinking on transplanting the ones on smaller pots on next week, lets see how they develop until there.

Gabgrow No grow techiniques performed this week. Nothing besides unclorinated water. Transpanting postponed to next week, after that I'll start with fertilization. Ak auto mutated so hardly that it lost its main stem, it end out as if I topped her.

Gabgrow Major changes this week: 1) plants that started on 3,5L plastic pots were transplanted; 2) LST applied to all of them; 3) started to apply nutrition + biodefensive for the fungus gnats 4) all of them moved to the bigger tent with 240W LED grow light set up to 50%. All of them are responding very well and showing vigorous growth. LST clips were completly ignored by the plants. They will probably require the application of other techniques alongside of LST to manage their growth. Still deciding between topping them or ScrOG. Best regards to every grower out there.

Gabgrow This week I applied some intensive defoliation on the bigger gelato to manage her growth. It would be interesting if the other gelatos could catch up on this one so I could get a nice coverage. AK auto is showing early signals of flowering, on her nutrition I added 1 ml/liter of BioBizz Bloom and 1 of Top Max. LST clips that I applied on main steam end out generating a kind of supercrop, reason why Im adding HST to techniques applied this week. Besides that I got a nice side branching development, which I'll try to further improve before flipping to flowering on the next two weeks. Thinking on appling a leaf tucking technique on the smaller ones to give them a chance while I selectively defoliate the bigger one.

Gabgrow I'm flipping to flower today. 13/11 light schedule will be implemented on the first four weeks of flowering. We will be testing the hypothesis proposed on the following article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38337966/. The idea is that longer phothoperiods may trigger increased production in modern cannabis strains. Besides that, I would like to share that I'm very happy with the canapy coverage that I managed to get. The selective defoliation worked out and they are as even as possible now. The last report on this week is on my battle against the fungs gnats. It has been a long fight. The enemie showed very early on germination phase, maybe because it's a backlog problem from my last grow. Since I couldn't lower humidity or increase airflow, their population exploded. Since them, they've been very resilient. Many strategies were implemented on my side, and I have to admit it was no easy battle. The enemy resisted to the dryback and to the increased airflow, implemented once seedlings were a little bigger. After that, they attacked forcefully and strategic adjustments had to be adopted: Sticky traps implemented thwarted the combatant's relentless attack. Further incursions were necessary, the use of spies (efficient microorganisms), and budget strategies (hydrogen peroxide and deliberate drought) caused an almost irreversible impact on the enemy. After all that they were still there, waiting for me to be distracted so they could attack again. I didn't blink before implementing my last attack: a Biohazzard offensive with Bacillus Thuringiensis. To see their dead bodies lying down on the tent is now a very pleasant sight for my sour eyes at this point.
