THC Bomb Auto Flowering

I began spraying with Spinosad, Actinovate & Monterey disease control at triple the recommended mixture amount. I spray very very light mist that falls on the leaves and surrounding soil. I do not drench with this spray mixture.

THC Bomb auto is growing well. I trimmed off the yellow/brown leaves to see if it will help her grow faster and bigger. I continue spraying a mist of Monterey insect control, actinovate and Monterey disease control every day. A very very light mist no drenching!

Growing strong , bushier & taller. The lower oldest three finger leaves are yellowing then getting brown and crunchy at the tips. I trimmed two older yellowing/browning leaves off last week and those nodes are smaller and slower to grow(they are also the lowest nodes). I added the silica to nutrient waterings. They told me that you have to put the silica in the water first then add the grow nutrients because it can cause some kind of lockout. We have really strong winds so I moved her into my mini outdoor greenhouse. She still gets almost 12 hours of daylight in the greenhouse. I keep the door unzipped and rolled up. I leave her in there at night and bring her out if the wind slows down. 10/2/19 Note: this week she started wilting at nighttime. I believe this is called “Predictable Night Wilt”. And if my research is accurate it indicates flowering will start soon.😃😃

She is beginning to flower so I changed the nutrients accordingly. I will gradually switch over to blooming nutrients over the next couple days. I tied the main stem and some branches down and tucked some larger fan leaves to allow more sunlight to reach all of the flower sites. I am keeping her outside of the mini greenhouse all the time now because she is getting bigger to move and it’s not windy lately. The weather feels dry but the humidity is still between 45-55% outside. She drinks up more water lately. I am still lightly misting with my triple dose spray of Monterey Insect, Monterey Disease and Actinovate spray. So far so good, no big problems or mold problems😃

This week a magnesium deficiency is showing up. The PH is 7.5 in the soil. I started a regime to lower the PH organically. I hope this stops the Magnesium problem.

Still trying to correct the ph in the soil. This week it’s measuring at 7.1. I started foliage spray of epsom salt. And added some peat moss to the top soil level. Still misting the triple dose of insect and disease control every 3-5 days. It’s getting colder so I started covering her with a plant blanket at night time. She is responding well to the PH adjustment and blanket at night. No new problems.

Still trying to correct the soil ph. It has been between 6.9-7.5 the last three weeks. Yesterday it was 7.1 before feeding. I stopped adding silica to feeding and mixed in some peat moss and the soil reading was 6.6 hopefully it stays in the right range from now on. I also have been adding microbe life to the feedings. Any advice is appreciated. I know that it is late to be growing outdoor in my area. I put the plant in my little greenhouse to keep her warmer.

Ph problems still going on! The flowers are developing but very airy and stretched out. Will they fill in? There are new three finger leaves appearing bud sites. No new discoloration of leaves. Not very dark green and a lot of cute and pretty pinkness is showing up is this good? It has been 90 days from seed. Maybe she turned into a photo period? Is it possible?Please give me advice anyone! It is greatly appreciated! I know it’s late for outdoor in my area and this is an experiment to see if it would finish. If she was able to stay true to auto flowering timeline it should have already been done because it’s been 12 weeks. I think the ph problems stalled it. I am not seeing a re-veg pattern except for those 3 finger leaves. Please advise if you can anyone😃

I changed out some soil in the pot. I ph’d the soil to 6.8 and then dumped two gallons of 6.5 tap water through the pot for three days in a row. I received some good advice regarding this plant. The decline started when the plant started receiving less sunshine. I raised her up so she could get more hours of direct sunshine. She seems happier since the flushing, soil change and more hours of direct sun. I am considering bringing her in under a plant light for some extra hours. I don’t have an indoor set up so I am trying to sort this out. She stopped making hairs on the buds and possibly revegged a bit a few weeks back. There is more green now after I recharged the pot with new soil. I think if I can get the sunshine goes increased she will do better. Also when I re-tied her back down, the top of her main stem broke (inside the stem only). The stem only broke inside the walls around are still intact. I suspect a knot will form now but it is Another stress to delay things a bit. People do this on purpose to their plants in veg. So I continue to ride this out and research about growing😃

PH is down to 7.0! Started watering with Bone meal a new stinky batch of Microbe life and I changed out about half of the soil with new Vermifire and perlite. Seems to be doing better! The flower I trimmed off last week is drying and smells awesome! The trichomes are still mini and clear with some cloudy. She still shows a lot of deficiencies but I’m going to ride it out and see what happens.

It has been raining a lot and the sun has hardly come out. She continued to decline. I have been foliar misting with worm castings tea and Actinovate. There are a lot of brown tips and a branch broke. I have her in the mini plastic green house but it tore from the wind and the rain got I. Really good! She seems to be re- generating. I am trying to get an indoor set up and spot for her. The branch that broke is in water and will hopefully root. It is under a 24 hour little plant light from Home Depot. Blessings😃

She started making seeds. Either she turned hermaphrodite or got pollinated by a boy. I didn’t find any male pollen sacks but I could have knocked it off when I was trimming the dead leaves off. She was definitely too stressed due to the PH problems, weather and not enough sunlight and could not reach her potential under the conditions. It was a great learning experience. I started new seeds and can’t afford any male cannabis pollen in my garden. I felt sad but at the same time relieved. It was a good experiment and now I know that I can not grow an outdoor auto flower this time of year in my area. I learned a lot about auto flowers, PH and sunlight for cannabis. I am going to try a new method in my next journal. I will also be getting some more THC Auto Bomb seeds in the future because when she was on track she smelled really great! Thanks to everyone that read my journal! Happy Growing😃
