After some stress, she decided it's time to start flowering. Oh well, at least this one is purple. I had finally received my order of nutrients on Oct 11th, and immediately began using them on this plant. Adjusting the dosages lower to fit the use of measuring spoons was very easy. Once I see how it affects the plants, I will adjust them higher or lower to tune the feedings. PH is reading low, but it's the exact same reading as it was before adding the nutrients. I never ph'd tap water, so I didn't bother adjusting the nutrient water. I still expect a few more inches of stretch, but I will be happy either way. I will certainly be doing another run of this very soon, but next one will be looked after a lot better. Peaceout Mosuckas
@huntz4200, hey there. I'm considering this runt my own fault, pretty sure I stunted it with a lack of water early on, I'm very bad for getting them dry out too much, and for too long. Really need to work on that. I've grown one other before, and it was huge. The temperature was way too high for it to turn purple, sitting in the mid 30's during the summer. New light though, so hopefully this summer is better. My friend had just grown and harvested his bloody skunk, his was very large and beautiful, 40g's dry I believe. Feel free to check it out, if you haven't already. He goes by @Critmann. He has more experience, but I have more room to grow. Once this tent is finished, flipping it into another photoperiod tent. Peaceout Mosucka
Wow that's just one fat bud...! How did you get an auto to grow like that.? I've photoperiods grown like that using the 12/12 method from start to finish but this is an auto... Hum🤔
@GeOMaTTiC, It may have been a problem with humidity. 😐
When there is a slightly high temperature and there is humidity, this can affect negatively.
Now, try not to have the soil too wet.
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds, No sir, no direct sowing. Placed in water for 36 hrs, or less if seed already split. Then placed in paper towel on a plate. Put plate on foam pad, then put pad on seedling heating mat. Roots had all started to emerge, but stopped sprouting after the taproot was 1-2cm. 3 for 3 on Bloody Skunk, with breeding date of early 2019. Sweet Cheese breeding date was early 2018. Still have 4 more to go, so I still have chance for success.
@GeOMaTTiC, scroll through half of finished grows and you will question results more often than no ;)))
Anyway, some girls grow like this, had girls in 20g+ area, had 150, all in same grow, sometimes some strains rewards us with one, but very solid nug ;)
@EZgrower, oh yeah. She is filling out nicely, I for sure thought it was going to end up smaller. Still far from expectations, but I can live with that. Planning on running another one of these very soon. Peaceout Mosucka
For the next harvest, use a pot of greater capacity. Surely, you will get better results!
One tip, try not to keep the soil very wet. Also, prevents the pot plate containing water. 😉
Good luck!
