Alaskan Purple auto 1st grow with auto

Lionsshare This is start of 4th grow first time using auto flower wanted to see how much faster it goes and so far I am amazed. So i picked the palest 1 of 5 seeds to start I put the seed in water 8-9 hours then under paper towel between 2 plastic lids and then on top of the grow tent for warmth. Image 1 is the seed after 3 hours in paper towel picture 2 is 4 hours later. So total 16 hours this seed went from water to a sprout and I am simply amazed never seen a seed take off that fast. I placed in a small pot with damp soil and covered with plastic wrap and poked a few holes to hold some humidity. Literally 6 hours later this thing already broke the surface a few cm and was trying to lose the seed shell so I peeled it off carefully. Seriously though I heard auto flowering seeds were fast but this is shocking I cannot wait to see how the rest of it goes. Just giving ph 6.5 water and going to mist it once or twice a day, keeping her a fair distance from the light right now don’t want to push her to hard she will be in the same tent with Seedsman original skunk #1 monster cropped grow. W1D2: shortly after the light turned on she already broke soil and showing some green. Gave a light misting keeping the moist plastic wron on for another day or so. W1D3: gave her a light mist again decided to remove the plastic she already looks stable

Lionsshare Day 8: growth slowed from how strong it started but growing steady every day she got a little bit of water day 6 and still daily misting. Thankfuly no stretching stayed nice and short going to move it closer to the light on day 9. Day 10: she is visibly steadily growing every time I have to go in the tent still getting misted everyday and considering moving her to a larger put in the next couple of days right before I give her a little taste of veg nutes. Also moved her up to about 17-18 inches from light. Day 11: end of day was to late to repot soil was dry so I fed her floramicro, florabloom and ca mag she got about 150ml I will try and repot tomorrow or day after depending how soil is.

Lionsshare W3D2: day 16 she is growing nicely still staying short which is good still gets daily misting however I missed another opportunity to repot her I will get that done when lights come on day 17. She also got about 100ml of ph 6.3 water on day 15 I also removed the first set of leaves they were yellowing and felt a little stiff. W3D4: was finally able to repot on day 17 roots were thick and white looked nice and healthy. Also gave her 150 ml of water right after repotting. She slowed growth a little I didn’t see the changes I see every day but she will bounce right back. Plant is still nice and short the way I like it. W3D6: gave her a feeding of mild bloom with cal mag. The secondary shoots are starting to push out but they have a lot of light being blocked out. Going to start LST over the next few days to allow light penetration.

Lionsshare W4D1: so I did a light LST a few days ago but one leaf was blocking out a lot of lower light so I stretched her back a little bit more removed the leaf to allow the light to reach and new leaves. She was also give aprox 250ml of just plain ph 6.3 water today. I noticed a couple pre hairs already so maybe next week or two I will start changing light schedules she is sharing space with another large photo period plant I can throw into flower at the same time. W4D3: I removed another leaf and tucked a few leaves aside she is finally starting to fill out was scaring me how short she was showing prehairs then again this is my first auto so not sure what to expect. Now knowing they are this tiny I might just germinate the 4 remaining seeds I have at once to get a decent amount at around the halfway mark for this girl. Sill getting her daily misting and will be fed more bloom nutes tomorrow.

Lionsshare W5D2: so been busy over the last few days however I was able to switch on my bloom lights for her and another photo period plant only down fall is she is down to 12/12 and I’ve been reading sticking to 18/6 might be better. Anyway first auto lets see how it goes she has managed to amaze me with speed of growth a few times now. She got a mild bloom feeding and also a ph 6.3 watering over the weekend and is drinking a lot faster now. Was very surprised that the size doubled in about 5 days from 6 to 12 inches and the lower branches are catching up. Going to remove just 2-3 large fan leaves tomorrow to allow more light for the little mini buds already starting to form. Another good note opening the tent I got a nice breeze of some great smelling weed that I know for a fact is not coming from her room mate cause I’m on my 3rd grow with same strain cloned And they smell absolutely nothing alike. W5D4: removed a couple large fan leaves she gets pushed further into the wall everyday her room mate is very needy for space. The rapid growth and changes amaze me still still hard to picture full buds next 30 days but with the rate she moves it’s possible lol. Just gave her a misting after the leaves were cut she wasn’t ready for water yet.

Lionsshare W6D2: So she has put on 6 inches in the last week and has started producing buds all over the place. I removed a couple extremely large fan leaves over the week but that is it, I also noticed the newer fan leaves are very thin and pointed compared to the rest of the older growth. She got a nutrient feeding today and I upped the dose slightly she took well to it last week, also got a nice little misting as I am not ready to lower the humidity in the tent as yet. She did a lot of stretching over the week but it’s allowing light to get right down to the bottom and she producing bud sites nice and low. She is losing space every time I get in there her room mate is very dominant and aggressive luckily there should only be a few more weeks of being pushed into the corner. I do need to do a major defoliation on the room mate next week so hopefully that will free up space for her. I have not been able to access the tent nearly as much this week my landlord is home and my whole house smells like a skunk moved in or someone is smoking a phatty in my room every time I open the tent hahaha maybe I need to turn the fan off before going in. I really do need a larger space but I can only go upwards so thinking of making a smaller veg room on top of this tent and flowering the skunk no1 earlier so I don’t keep getting these monster size plants in such a small space. W6D4: she drinks a little slower when fed nutrients however noticeable growth on the buds over past few days. Nice to see even lower bud sites are producing she still has great light penetration but thinking of removing some fan leaves just do not want to hinder grow so may only take 2-3. Aside from her being a little lanky from the stretch she turned out being a nice looking plant gained over a foot in less than 2 weeks crazy.

Lionsshare W7D1: her buds are getting a bit bigger this week I removed some large fan leaves that were not going to grow anymore. Going to wait 2 more days and remove a couple more. She is getting a full bloom feeding again tonight with the last of the cal mag she is going to get. Stems are extremely strong already so no need for more calmag. Her roommate was defoliated very heavily so she has more room in her corner now. W7D3: Day 44 all buds have put on a little size and the upper buds are starting to grow into each other. The mid plant buds are starting to look like some nice dense nuggets. as usual she is drinking a little slower after her nutrients feeding think she only has one more to start next week then just plain water and a flush for last 2 weeks W7D5: 06/21 D46 buds are starting to get a little fatter and the sugar leaves are getting sticky and give off a great aroma. She got 1L of ph 5.9 water and will get the last feeding of nutrients next watering. W7D6: day 47 I did a very light LST stretched her out just a touch to get a bit more light on the buds in the middle of the plant they already a decent size little nuggets see if I can fatten them up a little over last few weeks. Buds are increasing in size rapidly some getting to about palm size.

Lionsshare W8D1: I know she must be getting close but I snuck in one more nutrient feeding then she will get straight water and then a flush. None of the hairs started changing yet so still got some fattening up time I did a little more LST and tie the main cola back a bit in the tent to expose the middle buds which are growing nicely. The smell she is giving off right now is very strong the slightest brush up against a bud leaves your hand sticky and stinking. When rubbing the sugar leaves she gives off a nice skunky purple grape juice scent. W8D4: day 53 buds are getting a bit denser and it’s slowing down but buds still putting on size. She got 1.2L of ph 5.8 water and next watering will be a flush.

Lionsshare W9D3: been busy this week she got her flush a few days ago and today she got 1L of ph 5.7 water. Some of the buds have fattened up nicely could probably not wrap my hand around them to bad they shrink in the drying process lol. The lower hairs are starting to change slowly working up the plant hopefully she is ready within next few days to a week.Going to get a few more pics with a magnifier app. Added a few pics I took testing the magnifying app a couple days ago she looking nice and frosty will get closer shots once I get a few mins

Lionsshare W10D4: day 68 she getting closer almost ready I think about 60% of hairs have changed and curled in she still has plenty white hairs near the top of the big buds and she is smelling extremely skunky. I haven’t been able to get best image of her trichromes as yet my hands are to shaky with my phone and it won’t stay focused long enough she is getting extremely frosty Hopefully over next couple of days she will mature fully some buds are as large as my hand and would take 2 hands to wrap around them.

Lionsshare Been a crazy week but was finally able to harvest went a few days past what I wanted but she was cut on day 73 buds are huge and main branch grew about 15 inches of nice thick dense bud. I didn’t bother weighing wet due to all the stems Placed 2 more Alaskan purple auto seeds in water

Lionsshare Grow cycle for Seedsman Alaskan purple auto was fast and easy great disease and insects resistance had the possibility nats could have effected her but they stayed away and bothered another plant. She was fed just bloom, micro nutrients and camg from week 3 to week 9 and she was loving life putting on visual steady growth noticeable within hours. She never had a single leaf problem or growth problem she was only about 6 inches at week 4 but as soon as preflowers showed up she sky rocket stretched to 22 inches and had 2 equally large main colas and 3 medium sized colas. Took this plant just over 70 days for harvest and about 4 days to dry and be ready for jars taste of this weed after 4 days of drying is very citrusy pungent grape fruit and an overall chronic taste.triming this plant off the stem had my house absolutely wreaking like a nice kush like skunk roadkill for about 6 hours after finishing even with all my windows open lol. I cannot wait for a few weeks of curing to go buy to taste and try the full potential of the phat juicy and sticky buds. I will take photos as she cures and has her sugar leaves removed to expose the nice tight Chrystaly trichrome packed buds.
