Auto NYC Diesel fem from Barney's farm

rastafara The seed turned out to be very strong. I cut the tip off, placed the seed between two wet cotton pads, put it in a plastic bag, inflated it with air, and tied it up. I placed the bag in a dark spot. The root appeared after 40 hours, with a length of a few millimeters. The seed was planted in a pot with store-bought soil (80%) + 20% Vermiculite, which has been tested through several successful growing cycles. I covered it with a plastic cup with ventilation holes, sprayed it with a spray bottle to create a mini greenhouse. After two days, it had already sprouted, I helped it shed the helmet and placed it under the lamp. It's developing excellently. I water it about every 2-3 days with 500-1000 ml. I try to pour more water not directly at the base but around it, so the roots spread better. I won't fertilize anything until the 3rd-4th week of growth. I water it with settled tap water with a balanced pH: 6.5. I acidify the water with electrolyte.

rastafara Everything is great. The 4th pair of leaves and side shoots are starting to grow. I’ve started bending them. I water only with water every 2-3 days as it dries out. The soil holds moisture well. The leaf on the third pair is growing strangely, like it’s double) A bit of a mutant. Once it grows a bit more, I’ll take a photo.

rastafara The side branches have started to grow vigorously. The little plant is very lush. I'm continuing to water only with water, without fertilizers. I showed the floor on day 16.

rastafara Watering only with water, no fertilizers. On day 23, I bent and broke the top :-(. But the side branches saved the situation :-) On day 25, I watered once with dolomite flour (a tablespoon per 1.5 liters) to raise the pH a bit. The pH of the water with dolomite flour is 7.2, and it drained out at 5.5-5.8. Flowering is about to start. No problems are observed.

rastafara One month from seed, it started to flower. I bend it every few days. Watering only with water, no nutrients. I gave it a booster, Bio Bloom from GHE, once.

rastafara Started fertilizing. Raised the pH with dolomite flour, as the soil was a bit acidic around 5.8. It has started to flower, but it's still just the beginning of blooming. I would prefer a faster-maturing strain. Some of the medium leaves have small spots. The problem isn't significant yet. I think it's due to the acidic soil and a lack of phosphorus. I added fertilizers.
