Permanent Marker Cup

NoNameMartin She's still growing slowly and steadily. Depending on how she develops, I'll decide later whether to go for LST or topping.

NoNameMartin Due to my living situation (garden shed), I have many hurdles to overcome. At an outside temperature of 15 degrees, I already have 34 degrees in the tent, and at night temperatures outside around freezing, I only have 12-13 degrees in the tent with continuous lighting at night, which really complicates the growing conditions. Nevertheless, I'm glad that the plant has gone through everything so far and is still alive.

NoNameMartin The plant had some issues recently. The leaves turned colorless, dried out in places, and I removed everything. Right now, it's growing again and just entered pre-flowering. It definitely hasn't had it easy for me in the garden shed, heat, cold, but it's still alive, growing again, and I'm not giving up 😎👍

NoNameMartin The plant has managed quite well despite all the challenges (clearly too warm during the day, too cold at night) in my opinion and is now in pre-flowering.

NoNameMartin The plant has perked up a bit again and is currently doing what it should. The current height is 80 cm, and since I have no experience with soil and I've been told that soil only makes sense starting from 25 liters, I'm adding a bit of Biobizz Bloom fertilizer.

NoNameMartin Things are slowly happening, also in terms of flowering. It might not be the best plant, but I'm optimistic that something good will come out of it 😎

NoNameMartin Despite all the initial difficulties and problems, the plant is now doing what it should. It's producing a decent amount of buds and is already smelling strongly of fermented sweet fruit cocktail with a hint of solvent. It's getting cramped in the tent with the other plants, so I've tied the branches apart to let light reach the lower buds, and I put them outside in the sun as often as possible, wherever there's space.

NoNameMartin The plant is outside a lot in daylight when it fits and I would say it's slightly over-fertilized. It's fully in bloom, but the flowers aren't developing satisfactorily. So far, they remain relatively small, airy buds and aren't developing into the fat, heavy buds like my other plants. I'm still pondering how I can improve that at the moment. Otherwise, everything is holding up quite well; I think the harvest is still far off, so this autoflower has quite a long time from seedling to harvest. But good things take time, or something like that, right?

NoNameMartin A bit late, here’s the weekly report for the Permanent Marker Cup. My plant was only in the tent this week since it’s been raining almost nonstop here. The plant is doing okay, even though all the buds are showing foxtailing in my opinion. Nothing more will happen except that they will ripen. I don’t care, since I already thought the plant was dead once, and now it looks like it might yield some nice harvests. But as foxtaily and airy as the buds are, I estimate it to be around 30-40 grams. But hey, not dead, better than nothing, and someone will enjoy it. I’m team organic, autoflowering with soil from Wizzys Garden, and I additionally fertilize with Biobizz Bloom and Top Max. Seeds from Seed Supplier.

NoNameMartin The plant has a strong smell by now and sticks infinitely when touching the flowers. Unfortunately, the whole plant is foxtail-like, which I don't find bad myself, because it's still alive and I will have yield and harvest something, and that was my goal. I set myself 10 grams and it seems I will get them, so I am happy. Outside, the plant hardly stands anymore, as it has been raining non-stop here.

NoNameMartin The plant is still standing, even though it was believed to be dead in the meantime. Team Autoflower, organic fertilization, currently 30 degrees plus during the day and at night (outdoor and garden shed). Yes, it has foxtailing, but it will be fine. I think it will reach my target of 10 grams.

NoNameMartin With this, the Permanent Marker Cup is now over for me. I've achieved everything I wanted and I think I'm satisfied. I wanted to make it through, be part of it, and harvest 10 grams. I didn't weigh it, but 10 grams looks about right to me. Thanks to all the sponsors like Seed Supplier, Wizzys Garden for the sponsorship, and thanks for checking in and being part of it. I was Team Autoflowering, organic nutrients, and low budget. All under the simplest conditions.
