DAY 57 - 63
When I left for the holiday, this was the plant I was the most worried about.
The budlets had started to form and they'd need nutrients and water that I couldn't provide them with!!
Introducing an important character:
GRANDMA!
Our lovely Grandmother was kind enough to help with watering the plants in the garden/balcony ๐
Going against what I read online, I prepared 11 litres of water and nutrients, calculated to be enough for the period I was going to be away.
I cannot know for sure how much of it was actually given to the plant, but I was very pleased to see her in good shape once back ๐
The budlets are fattening up, I can see the actual bud shape on many branches which is amazing (Yeah, I'm easy to impress but you know, it's my first grow.. ๐)
The leaves are ok except for a tiny little burning spot on the ends of some of them, although I don't think it can be considered nutrients burn..or is it? ๐ฎ
Please let me know if you notice something I didn't.
Thanks for reading and as usual every comment/tip/advice/shared experience is more than welcome ๐
Until the next update guys! Have a nice one ๐
@Fredsai that my friend is a grasshopper and they shouldn't pose too much of a problem
I like to use diatomaceus earth to deter insects from chewing on my plants Best of luck hope I solved the question ๐
@CoastGrower,Thanks for the advices buddy, I've just checked and secure all the branches 'cause it looks another storm is coming.
Have a nice one and enjoy your growing ;)
@Fredsai, your 11L pot is jist a little to small but it will work.
If you transplant an autoflower youโre stressing the plant to much and growth will stop for a couple days to up to a week. If you would have 5L pots I would transplant but now it will do more bad than good.
You are already stressing your plant with the broken stem, ALWAYS take some ducktape and try to fix it weedplants are the best self healers.. and never use sharp or thin things to bend her down๐
Only rain here.. normally it will get a bit better on friday.
My NL drinks 2.5 L every other day, big plants are thirsty :)
Good luck!
@CoastGrower, you called it man ๐ it's still growing bigger every day!! Actually I just noticed that the need of water increased drastically in the last couple of days and I had some thoughts about transplanting, I think she would fit much better in a bigger container, even though I'm afraid that it could have more Cons than Pros (I have an 11L plastic flower pot), what do u think?
@Fredsai, itโs getting warmer here so I canโt complain. Both are flowering nice. My Md doubled in size in 7 days :).
A little rain never killed no one.
@CoastGrower, we are still waiting for it!! ๐ I feel it's like an urban legend, oeple keep coming saying that "a storm is coming" but at the end nothing except for some light rain has showned in the last while! Hope the weather is kind with your plants โ
@Cannibalgardens, Thanks man :) I hope I will manage to trim it, dry it and cure it decently to keep the aroma, it will be my first time so I'll try not to ruin anything :) Good luck with your grows ๐
Our Cheese XXL auto well into bloom now and clearly loving the outdoor life ๐
Keep the updates coming my friend as harvest is getting closer ๐
All the best โ๏ธ
Mark..
@DinafemSeeds, Thank you mate, I'm so looking forward to taste it, it's the very first time I'm taking care of a plant (and an autoflowering) on my own, so I feel it really like a personal challenge :)
I'm writing right now, please have a look at the next two updates, I would greatly appreciate if you could advise on the current state of these buds ๐
Have a great one and cheers!!
Fred
@DILLIGAF, thank you so much man, I looked for it on google and you're right, it looks definitely like a grasshopper/cricket :) Especially thanks for the tip on diatomaceous earth (I was like: ๐ฎ diawhat?), I will study a little how to use it and certainly I'll try it!!
Is it recommended for growing only or it could be used also at some point in flowering?
Cheers and enjoying your growing ๐
