Automatics_Gourmets Given how well the โRed Velvet Autoโ has performed at Saturn, itโs clear that this strain needs to be given a go at Venus too. ๐ช
Thanks to Paradise Seeds for the opportunity. ๐

Automatics_Gourmets Fortunately, the heatwave is over and the sweetie has had a good stretch. ๐ฑ๐ด
Water consumption remains quite high, which is also down to the unsuitable fabric pot (too shallow, too wide). ๐
The photos are usually taken shortly after the dark phase, which further emphasises the impression of the drooping leaves. ๐ฟ

Automatics_Gourmets The plant seems to have gradually reached its target height, and as temperatures rise, its water consumption is increasing again.๐ฅ๐ฆ
On day 49, Venus wanted to do something nice for the plant and gave it a gentle misting. ๐ฟ Unfortunately, the spray bottle must have been left in the sun for too long, or perhaps the water was off, because within 12 hours most of the leaves had โwilted awayโ... ๐ก๏ธ
Our whole team is feeling for it and we hope the sweetie will recover. ๐๐

Automatics_Gourmets It was shocking to see the damage that โdirtyโ water can cause to leaves in just 24 hours. ๐ฟ
Venus has removed most of the damaged leaves, and the sweetie seems to be recovering a little. ๐๐

Automatics_Gourmets Venus didn't expect the Red Velvet Auto to recover so well. ๐ฉโโ๏ธ๐
Even though the buds look relatively unremarkable, they've actually gained a tremendous amount of weight. ๏ธ
So much so that two of the outer branches snapped off - it wasn't a pretty sight.?๐ณ
Anyway, with the help of a little wire, it's standing tall again. โ๏ธ๐ฉ
She is looking very happy the way she grew such a huge amount in a week! Nice looking structure and at the end many nice buds I only can imagine! I would have expected the smell to come in already but it will come soon enough I think. Good luck with these nice strong looking plants!๐ฟ๐ฟ
@paradiseseeds, Thank you very much. The strength and resilience of this strain are very welcome right now, as Venus has made a big mistake. Compared to the last grow at Saturn, the RVA is really stretching out here (now 1.35 m in its pot). And that familiar smell is slowly starting to come through too ๐
@Kushycat, yes, luckily. I gave her a thorough rinse the next day and dried her off leaf by leaf. We had to sacrifice quite a few leaves, and she's not growing as strong - but she survived ๐
