The first week went pretty well i germinated it in a paper towel. Within 24 hours it cracked so i chucked it in the soil.
Two days later it spout from the soil and i put it outside under a chicken wire fence i made. The last seedling i had got taken by birds at 3 weeks because i forgot to cover it! So i made a enclosure for it this time with chicken wire fence and stakes.
Leave it outside early in the morning till it starts getting dark, when i bring it in the garage just till it gets bigger.
Still growing strong keeping it outside for most of the day just been watering it as the soil i used is a good organic soil it has alot of natural stuff in it to feed the seedling. At about three weeks il start using Seasol with water now and then
Its slowly coming along iv had to water it more often as its been really hot the past week it looks like its barely grown but hopefully it starts taking off next week
This comes from one if two things : over watering which is causing a deficiency or the soil your using is too hot (full of nutrients) which is burning your baby.
The last week has been alright, the plant hasn’t grown much vertically but there are more leaves and some white hairs on it.
I have started feeding her with power feed and seasol every other day.
I tested the ph levels of the soil they were at about 7.5 so I tried to lower it other than that apart from it being tiny it looks pretty healthy I guess
still small, maybe the high 30s and a nearly 50 degree Celsius days were too much and stunted her growth. Maybe I watered too much to compensate for the heat.
It's all good tho still it's steadily growing every week it's rained almost all week and Iv left it outside too on a bit of a slope.
The plants been stunted since the third week, I checked the soil ph some time around week 4 and it was very alkaline.
Could this be the reason why? It hasn't grown in height since but started flowering.
How can I have my next outdoor auto grow bigger
I would certainly amend your soil pH, first and foremost most👍. When you're running low #'s it can somewhat lock out the certian nutrients that promote growth and bloom (Potassium, Phosphorus and call mag). If you're able to get the pH up to 6.2ish, this would be ideal for that P/Cal take up (I also suggest more potassium and to never fully cut your Nitrogen. Phosphorus/Cal is where it's at, though). She's still in her stretch stage and growing, so there is more then enough time to promote growth and get her larger in height and bushiness before the stretch is over👌when the soil imbalance has been rectified, all will be well and she will get larger and push pistils at a much quicker pace with, hopefully, noticable bud mass getting more and more swollen.
Hope this helped. Drop me a line in PM if you think I can help you with anything else. Cheers and all is well👍 she'll go.
Coming along ok for what it is I guess still watering every 2 days some with season some without. Can't wait to harvest so I can start with my other two seeds and hopefully not stuff it up!
For my next grow im thinking of using a mixture of perlite, a cheap organic compost and either coco peat or peat moss. Or just buying canna terra pro what do you guys think? I just want to grow the biggest autos i can outdoors. Going in to autumn i dont want to start a regular
After Summer Solstice on the 21 December the days start getting shorter. Planting a photoperiod then is perfect if you want to keep it contained. The plant will vegetate for 4-6 weeks and start flowering as it would when the light cycle changes indoors. The sun is getting shorter by 55 seconds each day. I prefer to plant Auto seeds in September when the days are getting longer. This allows the auto to grow its full vegetation allowable within the genetics. Harvest in December. Plant photoperiod in December harvest end March or April. An auto planted after 21 December won’t reach full potential because the light is fading already. It will flower almost instantly after germination. Make use of the moon cycles planting the week leading up to full moon. I’ve seen noticeable improvement in germination and growth. And time your grows to match the spring and summer solstice. Use the Suns schedule for lengthening days and shortening days to your advantage. 20% cow Manure, a cup of bone Meal, worm castings, half cup Epsom salts and some Lime mixed into your potting soil should carry your plants beautifully into flowering. When flowering starts water with comfrey Tea rich in potassium and calcium.
Most autos are rubbish.
Try growing Royal Gorilla Auto from RQS or White Widow auto from Crop King Seeds.
Torrential rain all week and will continue in to next week. Plants been left outside, has barely got any sun, I was planning to harvest next week but may leave it another week now if it's sunny next week
