All three of the beans popped, I germinated them in a glass of water for 18 hours and then soaked in them paper towels for another 24 hours, at this time they had about a half inch tap root. I then added them to a mixture of Coco and Gaia green organic dry amendments. During vegetation I use a mixture of 4-4-4 all purpose 2-8-4 power bloom. I then water with a pH of 6.5 to 6.8.
Lots of growth this week. These ladies seem to be loving life. I decided to add in some calmag and seaweed extract. Other than that I just continue to water at 6.5 pH.
I've have been preoccupied with a bathroom renovation this week and have neglected these plants. Unfortunately in the process I seem to run into a deficiency of some sort. I did some heavy defoliation on a few branches which I know it's not always a great idea with autoflowers. They're in full flower now and they are continuing to grow.
Seem to have a deficiency I am unfamiliar with. As you can see in picture 5 the leaf is changing colour to a light green, in the part of the leaf that is light green is very crispy and crumbles when you touch it.
Hi GeenthumbCBD
I can see that you have incorrect ph and over feed on first feeding.
I normally star slowly on boom nutrition until she's gets used to them and by the way Autoflower plants don't need as much nutes as photoperiodic plants.
You mate poured in 8ml per litre nutes.This has caused over feeding and Nutrition lock out.
Suggestion
1-Flush her now with 6PH water Till her new growth looks bit darker green. After flushing use only 6PH water for next 2 waterings.
2- try to keep PH at 6ph water and soil
3-Don't give her nutrition for at least a week.
4-when starting nutrition again go 1/2 the recommended dose By suppliers that's maximum for Autoflowers I go.
5-I don't give more then 1.2liters water per feeding this ensures soil dry out quickly enough to get good air circulation.
Hope this helps and good luck with your grow.
After two 2L flushes per plant these ladies seem to be bouncing back nicely from the PH issue I was having. I feed them a compost tea at the end of the week and they seem to be enjoying it.
Plant 1 I did a heavy defoliation
Plant 2 I left it as natural as possible
Plant 3 I defoliated & did some low stress training
Right now I would have to say plant 3 is doing the best, with the biggest & healthiest buds.
This week I did another top dress with some
2-8-4 dry amendments for Gaia Green, and I'm continuing to water with a PH of 6.5 to 6.8
All three plants are growing completely different at this point. They seem to all be happy and healthy. The smell is getting stronger every week.
No much to report this week. The plants don't seem to be getting much larger in size but the buds are continuing to get fatter. The smell is very strong and the trichome are starting to develop.
The plants all continued to stack on some weight and lots of trichomes. Only gave them PH water to 6.5-6.8 to continue flushing this ladies before next week's harvest. I removed some of the dead/dying leaves and checked the trichomes
The plants are ready to be chopped and hung for 3-5 days. I removed all the fans leaves and left them all branches on the main stem. The ladies smell so strong I can wait to see how they turn out when they are dried and cured.
1) I plan to hang them for 3-5 days @ 71 f and 50-55 RH,
2) Do a final tight trim
3) Than I will move them to jars and cure for 2-3 weeks
I will update the diary with harvest pictures & weight before I move them to the jars for curing.
I think the seeds might have got mixed up when packing because these three plants were all supposed to be the same and you can clearly tell from the pictures that they are not.
I have not smoked any yet because I like to do a min 3 week cure. However the buds are dense and the smell amazing. I think they mixed up the seeds during packing because I don't feel like the purple strain belongs with the other phenos, but I can't complain because the seeds were given to be to test.
Growing these ladies was great and super easy. I ran into a problem early on from not using the correct PH when watering and they bounced back nicely. Seed to harvest in 10 weeks probably could have went another week.
I'd say the random purple is a pheno type of some description lol I'm doing a run of bubblegummer at the moment n the difference in phenos is nuts they look completely different just hoping 1 has that flavor I'm looking for haha
Yours look absolutely amazing man especially that purple pheno just wow on that one
Some beautiful buds on that lady. Fat frosty with some lovely color. Gorgouse! Nice work. Keep doing what you been doing and good luck along your way to the finish line growmie.
