Day 13
Upped nutes to .50 ml of flora gro, micro, and bloom and replaced res water. 3rd set of leaves coming in decent.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Second week she is doing pretty good. Will update this section with better information soon and with pictures. Added nutes at seedling strength.
Day 18
Switched to 24hr light cycle to perk her up, on top of changing res water.
She was really droopy when i checked her today. Someone else is mainly taking care of her atm. She was in a ph of 4.6 for who knows how long which might be the issue. The grow box is now much lower so it is a bit colder inside, especially the water. I think she might be shocked. 😲
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Entering into the 3rd week decently. She seems to have a mutated leaf with only 4. Only upped the nutes to .5 ml each and keeping ph low because it keeps wanting to rise.
Added nutrients to res water increasing ppm to 660. 1ml of each nutrient. Newest growth doing well after being topped on day 22.
New week 4, she is doing ok after suffering ph issues.
Day 34
Defoliated some gimpy bottom foliage tonight.
Day 31
Replenished bucket water today and defoliated about 8 big fan leaves. Keeping ph at around 6, she has been fluctuating a lot.

New week 5 she is flowering a little and stinks more. Rico's finally back with me though. Looks better than last plant I believe.
For week 6, I got Rico a new and much bigger bucket and transferred her over. I hope this will allow her to grow some more. Downside is this brought her up much closer to the light! Her buds are continuing to develop and she looks ok overall. will update soon with photos and more information.
New week 7 and Rico has been defoliated a lot and LST a little. I noticed the PPM has not gone down for a while so I am not sure if she is eating, but she is drinking waters.
She seems to be taking in the new bucket well enough.
Week 8 and Rico continues to develop, albeit small. Did a bucket change using only florabloom for now, and ph water at 5.5 since she wasn't eating much, maybe she will like more acidic waters. She is about 2-3 weeks ahead of my first plant grow in terms of looks and development.
I also tried to LST her to open up the buds, but TBH I'm not all that sure how to tie the plant down properly but I hope she ok.
Week 9 and Rico is still developing slowly. Her buds are still small but they are strong smelling when touched. The root ball is bigger now in the new bucket, bigger than it would have gotten in the .5 gallon bucket. Added floramicro back for the 9th week. Not sure if I should be following the schedule exactly since my plant is so small...maybe the amounts are for normal sized plant and mine is just getting burned from all the nutrients. Also there still wasn't any change in TDS, if anything it went up a bit and the water got acidic.
She made it to week 10. It looks like her leaves are showing signs of PH issue or nutes, but I really don't know. I only have her on water for now, she didn't really eat for the entire 9th week as the TDS didn't change.
Raquelita has entered into her last week 11. I have just kept water in her bucket. I did some defoliation and did a stem split just to try it out for last week. I hope the buds are quality, Ive dried out a few and tried them and did get a pleasant enough high.
10/30/19
Day 1 of curing started.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Took her down to harvest today, not much but she grew small just like the last plant because of the tiny box and bucket. The buds look small and smell strong and the root ball looked good and didn't smell or had slime. I will try to update this soon once they dry and cure a little, I already plucked about 10 buds before harvest time to time to smoke because I needed it.
I have about 30 years of landscaping flowers arborist and a newbie but from what i learned femming topping any auto is bad but white widow is one of my favorites.. Let me know how its going... I wanna try her next. I have a diary of my first and its auto og with lemon haze 2.0 auto as its genetic... Its freaking huge for a indica dominant at over 50 inches high right now i thought autos were supposed to be short.. I need your size not my size they are to big... I dont know whats going on its 5 weeks 6 days old from germination
@FowerTwennyNoob, hey did you jarvest.... My friends grand daddy purp auto grew 9 inches high and only 2.8 g dried wieght. Im scared of the time and energy to have that happen..
@BrownRecluse,
I wasn't going to top her originally but I caved in. I can definitely use your help! My plant stayed small because the bucket was only .5 gallons, but I switched her to a 2.5 gallon bucket to see if it would help. Topping with some lst etc can help keep the plant smaller afaik, but I'm a noob.
I have no experience with this other than my now diary. But what i do know is autos dont get topped or femmed because of its low veg time and stunted period hurts developing plants. Also i guess its good to plant in the pot size it will be harvested in because it can caust a stunted healing time for roots... Ph and light is another cause, heat stress.. Over watering and nutrient lockout. Common with industrial nutes.. I been using 90 percent organic and just started using a Bloom booster and it burnt it a hair.. So i am just using water now. For a week and add a 1/4 strength.. Im new as hell at this also. My plants sgould only be as high as they are outdoors. Mine jist got measured 52 inches now for an auto that started stretching at 9 inches i guess autos grow like that. Stretch most of their life i guess... But mine are og... With auto lemon haze...
