So been a tough week for me this week, my depression hit hard this week and seeing my pride and joys get sick was even more of a blow!
I used bloom tablets from verta fort thinking hey organic, pH should be fine, no.
after i purchased a new pH meter I found it dropped the pH down to like 4.5, plus I water with plain water after a few feeds so that pH was up at 7.4, thus leading to total NPK lockout! Stunted for good!
So I decided to up my watering game. Brought out an old fish tank I used when I grew in coco, set up a waterfall system to oxygenate, then added some aquarium buffer 6.5 rated... Big bad idea!! The aquarium buffer would be perfect IF it didn't neutralize cal/mag!! So this lead to bad mag def in lower leaves, as soon as I saw that I discontinued use of the buffer and filled my tank with a new feed of the mentioned above.
Glad to say growth and smell have finally returned! Might be to late for one or two but one is nearly finished.
Plus I've snipped at my most progressed, depression and no smoke lead me down that path.
I'm actually flushing the mature one. This feed applies to the other 4
Thanks for having a nosey! Merry Xmas!
@Herne,no probs! You either get a sour diesel Dom pheno or mostly of kush Dom phenotypes, but I have one which is a true chemdawg and a perfect example of a hybrid autoflower! I'm so happy to look at it lol
@Herne, that ks Buddy! Seen some quality autos by yourself too! I fucked up abit on these so they could be better!! I would recommend these plants defo! Smell ain't over powering but its there for sure!
@RedBeard, that's OK, they have just started pre flowering so its a stress free time ATM. They probably have 4 weeks left of their life so any recovery time is taking away production of buds and trichs.
@RedBeard, hi! The dark green has passed now, its quite common on slow release fertilizer to get abit to much nitrogen. Its hard to dial it in from strain to strain. I will not be transplanting, don't have any spare pots hahaha! Do you think a transplant would help? I normally plant into final pot with autos, they get stressed enough in my attic!
@RedBeard, thanks mate! Yeah I'm curious to see what she's like at resin production. It also is described as a medium Yielder hence why I've gone for 5 because I predict small autos. Hope she proves me wrong lol
Nice looking cannabudder!.. I love my edibles. If I could offer a bit of advice it would be to go buy some cheesecloth. Wrap your material in the cloth and tie it up with some cooking twine so it looks like a burrito and cook it like that. It will save you a ton of cleanup time.
@Squirrel_Master,thanks mate! The recipe I followed was solo simple, and yes the recipe asked for cheesecloth but no Local shops have any, but thanks for the tip! I have to say though its very potent, its been a while since I've given up at night and gone bed due to being too stoned to do anything hahaha
@Tazard, I thought they'd turn out like sweet seeds auto small but they got big! Lol mad smell to these, its like musty UK cheese and og kush mixed. Doubt theyll be done before Xmas! Well one might if the trichs change!;)
@TheApprentice, its not quite there yet lol we shall see when its on scales, but it defo helped with the mains getting too tall! I dunno though, they are spiting the flowers out now! ;)
@DeepRoot3d, I'm loving it buddy! I'm glad I did all 5 to see the different phenotypes and see how each plant behaves, its fascinating :D one is really packing on the THC now the others are just starting :)
I think not transplanting autos is the way to go...ANYTHING to slow them is ground lost I believe...at any stage of their life...time for these girls to flower and see what they do...I think your doing a good job and I wish you the best!!!
So all the seeds have germinated successfully using paper towel method. Took just 48 hrs for tap roots to emerge then I planted straight into final pots as I always do and sprinkled with spring water. This was on Sunday 15th.
