Doncuero Just water with a low ppm load at 0.090

Doncuero After two weeks, we see a slight nitrogen deficiency and lack of space. We decided not to fertilize so the plant can recover and colonize the substrate.

Doncuero This week we're going to give them two different salt solutions, with solutions for different autoflowering strains, 1 CHERRY LEMON 2 AK ULTRA will receive solution C which is 1:1 5:1 referring to the NPK nutrients. And the other CHERRY LEMON and the REST of the AK ULTRA (6) will receive solution A (Vegetative 4-2-3 until the previous flowering) and in advanced flowering they will receive solution C, with NPK values of 1:5:5. It's worth clarifying that the WATER needs to be as optimal and light as possible; if it's reverse osmosis, even better, or rainwater. If using tap water, just calculate the PPM of the water + the PPM that the plant needs. E.g. Reverse osmosis water 0.045ppm + 1ml salts = 125ppm /250 Tap water 0.120ppm + (adjust as the plant requires) 0.5ml salts = 185 ppm😷👈

Doncuero Solutions like this have a low mineral load, so we do 2 waterings of 1ml per L weekly to meet the plant's requirements, in the 4th week of the plant's life with about 0.800ppm weekly.

Doncuero This week 5 with the start of flowering, we added to the autoflowering plants the dose C 2ml per L, with normal doses for the NPK of the plant this week. Trying not to exceed 400ppm in one watering. The autoflowering plants with solution A (NPK 4-2-3) do not require a strong dose of solution B (PK 1:5:5) with a dilution of 2ml per L. 292 ppm.

Doncuero Photo 1 - Small signs of cold or slight deficiencies in PK, the dose used per liter is 3.5 for solution C, we achieved about 550ppm. Photo 2 In the week with the flowering of solutions A+b, we didn't cut nitrogen abruptly because we still need it in smaller amounts. Since it's a panel that demands a lot of calcium and magnesium, the best approach is to continue providing it in lesser amounts.

Doncuero Week seven, we are already starting to increase the dose of PK 1:5:5 in the autos that are on the vegetative solution. Due to the demands, we continue to apply doses of N with solution A (N 4 -P 2- K 3).

Doncuero While the idea was to do fertigation throughout the week in separate doses to achieve the goal, it's good to take a break so the roots can breathe; that depends on each grower, especially when using substrate instead of coco. It's necessary to break down all the nutrients the plant has and measure the runoff - here it was with a drainage pH of about 7.2 (the excess is always a bit higher). 3ML per liter to take advantage of what could take weeks with a regular watering with water. Enzymes are very important for balancing everything; if you don't have them, it's only recommended that every 3 fertigation sessions, one should be with the lightest water possible.

Doncuero Both Cheery Lemon and an ultra AK, starting from week 9, the plants are already entering the 63 days. And they start to close up. It is recommended to start watering with one last dose of nutrients and then just water until the harvest date.

Doncuero Week 10 - Now the most advanced ones are only getting water, and we gave two more AK ULTRA one last solution of nutrients increasing to 6ml per L.

Doncuero Last week I only watered with 3 ml of enzymes per liter of water, this stage is a final watering, where you can wait for the substrate to dry. Once the leaves show no signs of life, or are very yellow, they no longer serve a purpose for photosynthesis, leaving the plant there longer is a waste of resources. It's the ideal time to cut. FINAL NOTE: Cherry Lemon AUTO: It's a compact but productive genetic variety, showing anthocyanins with changes in climate; more heat equals a more lilac color in the inflorescences. More cold, and the central color tends to turn purple, to a burgundy color, typical of Cherry genetics. Citrus and sweet aroma tones in the air. AK ULTRA: It's a pretty sativa genetic variety, with a long flowering period. This plant will consume everything you give it, so you need to be cautious when administering food weekly. For summer, it's an excellent genetic variety and can yield quite a bit, reaching 1.20 to 1.30 meters indoors. It tolerates heat and drought very well. Dense and compact flowers, abundant lateral branches, with lemon and Diesel aromas in the air. Regarding the feeding with salts, both A+B and C. Autoflowering plants with solution A (N 4- P 2- K 3) have a good base of nitrogen, calcium, and magnesium, necessary for the plant to grow until week 5 without needing to cut nitrogen abruptly. Instead, apply half the dose when the plant enters flowering. During the first two weeks, it's recommended to use half the dose used in vegetation + solution B, which is for flowering (N1: 5 P- 5 K). After the third week, you can increase the dose to 2ml per liter in each watering per week. For example, if the plant consumes 800ppm in the week, the first watering should be increased by 1ML in osmosis base water 0.045ppm until the solution reads 400ppm - ML. After three days, repeat until achieving 400ppm. The next watering, if we don't see excesses, can dilute a bit more of ML per L up to a maximum of 5ml of formula B. After 3 waterings with salts, it's advisable to water with the cleanest water possible or use enzymes to help carry away the salts and make the substrate lighter. Stop applying salts and water only with water 2 weeks before harvest. In solution C for autoflowering throughout the cultivation with an NPK of 1:1 5:1. The doses here were higher starting from 2.5ml up to 6.5 ml per liter of water. There is no over-fertilization here; you can safely add up to 4 waterings in low doses, and by the fifth watering, it's recommended to use only water. Since it’s a formula that expresses a slight deficiency of PK, you can add phosphorus and potassium-rich additives to enhance the cultivation. Also, like solution C, it's advisable to stop fertilizing two weeks before the cutting or harvest date, avoiding any type of mineral additives, resulting in a smoother flavor for the plant. NOTE: If you are going to use this product for medicinal purposes like oils and extractions, it’s recommended to clean the substrate well, stopping fertilization 10 to 15 days before cutting the plant. Otherwise, you can continue feeding the plant until its last days. But the flavor won't be the same and will ruin months of work just for the whim of wanting more production. But if it doesn't bother you, you can fertilize until the last day of the plant's life. TIP: If you have the possibility to use enzymes for every 3 waterings of mineral salts, it would be perfect for the plant. Then you can safely resume fertilizing. Here’s an example. 💧(WATER) Week X Fertilization (🔴) Fertilization (🔴) Fertilization (🔴) 💧(WATER) Or enzymes. Repeat, stop fertilizing two weeks before, and water only the next two weeks with water.

Doncuero Final harvest of the autoflowering, 10-liter pots and more than 25g per plant.

Doncuero Ak ultra-. Even though the buds look airy in the photos, once cured, dried, and stored in humidity vault bags, it enhances the flavor and terpenes.
