Seedsman Cherry Punch F1

dvr147 Its been a long time since I updated this. I ended up going 11 weeks in veg because the plant was growing a little weird and it took me a while to discover that my nutrient mix was off a bit. It has since recovered and has turned out to be a nice plant...at least to my eye. Everything looks pretty good so I decided that this was the week that I'd put it into flower. I switched to 12/12 about 6 days ago and it is now starting to stretch out. I'll post some more once the colas start to grow. Feeling pretty good about this one, we'll see how it turns out. 😊

dvr147 This plant has really started to stretch out now. I had it in Veg for around 12 weeks trying to bend it out and take up the entire 3x3 tent. Now that its made it to that point, I flipped to flower on 9/6. I'm at the end of week 2 now and I think its about done stretching out...maybe another couple days. Should start to see buds forming any time now. Overall, the plant looks really healthy and I see no evidence of any nutrient deficiencies. The Autopots are turning out to be an outstanding investment. Easily the strongest and biggest plant I've ever grown.

dvr147 This is my first time growing photos so it seems to be going slower than what I'm used to. That said, I've been hand feeding for the last 3.5 weeks and just turned on the AutoPots. This should increase nutrient flow and my expectation is that this plant will take off now. I'm very close to my 4th node and I intend to top the plant and start stretching it out to make a wide base. I'd like to stretch it out to 2/3 of the width and depth of the tent before I switch them to flower. I think this may take a month or two so I'm going to be patient with this part. I dont want to let them go into flower until I have the plant where I want it. Hopefully this goes well but I'll be reporting out here from time to time on how its going. I'm only going to be using General Hydroponics nutrients on this grow and will be restricting the grow to CalMag, Fora Micro, Flora Grow and Flora Bloom. Since this whole setup is basically new (new light, new autopot, new AI controller) I want to keep things to a minimum and see what the yields are. I have high hopes for the autopots and hope that this method will be better than when I tried in soil.
