Red Poison Autoflower

I soaked the seed in water for 24 hours, until it cracked open. Then grabbed it with tweezers and pushed it into the moist growing cube.

I bent the stem a bit when moving the starter cube into the big pot. It did fine with the move. I'm starting the big light at 45R/80B/80W and 12/12 cycle for a couple of days.

We’ve achieved four leaves and she seems happy in the 5 gallon pot. Starting on every other day with the FloraNova Bloom at 300ppm. Two doses of FloraNova Grow and there’s a bit of discoloration on two leaf tips. Backing it off a bit. Day 5/Week 3: The light cycle moved from 15 hours on to 18 hours on. Staying with 45/80/80 on the LED spectrum.

She’s looking good and healthy this week. I’m thinking of bending the stem down for some LST this week. Continuing with 350ish ppm on the FloraNova Grow. Water is from the rain barrel and has an initial test of a neutral Ph and hitting only 1ppm with the TDS meter.

There’s a good smell going on in the grow room and she definitely grows a lot each day.

She got bushy...and smelly! Big change from Monday to Wednesday night, about an inch growth.

Got some little white hairs this week. Maybe overdid the stress, some bright green tips Day 7 and a little wilt. Will stick to just water for a couple more days and see.

I lowered the light a bit last week and she did NOT enjoy that...got some spotted leaves. So, it’s back up to maximum again this week. Flower looks nice and I’m still giving FloraNova Bloom, but only every third day or so. Sticking with water from the rain barrel...only 1ppm to start with and a neutral pH.

She seems to like the light again. There’s a few residual spots from last week, but looking okay. I was a little worried about the dark leaves, but looking at some other Red Poison diaries, that seems to be a strain thing. Flower looks healthy, she’s drinking a lot of water. Roots are coming out the bottom of the felt pot and there’s some green growth on the pot. All in all, I’m happy with her progress. She got quite a bit taller this week. Let’s get some good cola growth now girl!

She’s still growing a bit, got some yellow leaves this week. I’d backed off on the FloraNova Bloom, it may be a nitrogen deficiency. Fed her a couple times this week and she’s perked up. Flower looks healthy, nice trichomes developing and she’s drinking a lot of water.

Flower is looking nice. Trichomes are developing really well, still quite a lot that are clear so we’ll keep going. Quitting nutrients this week for a flush before harvest.

Whoooo the smell is strong with this one. Really yummy though! It’s staying pretty well-contained in the room. Trichomes are getting milky, maybe half and half. I’d like to see a few brown ones in there for harvest so I’m just keeping an eye on her. We’re really close to harvest!
