Stefanzo Just in the first week. Nectar for the Gods Greek Regime. More details coming after the first week.

Stefanzo Start of week 2. I forgot to mention the ballast was set to 50% for week one. Today I bumped it to 75%. I'll wait a couple more weeks before I bump to full power.

Stefanzo Last week I was only able to squeeze one feeding in, so I missed my weekly doses of SLF and Photo+. No biggie. Today she got it, along with the "Early Vegetative" feeding. I also introduced the Bloom Khaos foliar at 5 ml per quart. Not looking bad at all. Edited to talk about my feed schedule that I added to the pic collection. It is for a photo strain, but I adopted it for my auto. Given it is a 10-week strain, the first 2 weeks were Seedling feeds. Week 3 is Early Vegetative, week 4 is Mid Vegetative, and so on, until week 9 to start the 2-week flush cycle. Nectar for the Gods doesn't have a need for a traditional flush. This line is calcium based (opposed to nitrates) and leaves behind virtually no salts, making a traditional flush unnecessary. The Nectar flush is more of a "ripening" for the plant.

Stefanzo Day 22 - beginning of week 4! Nothing huge to report. Should be able to feed tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone! Day 23 - today I realized I might not get another week of veg feed, so I adjusted the feed schedule by skipping the "Mid Veg" feed and went to "Late Veg" feeding. This pretty much just increased Athena's, Kraken, Herc, and introduced Aphrodite's Extraction. Day 27 - Got another feeding in for the week. I'm happy to see her finally make it through the scrog screen. When she starts her stretch I'll be able to weave her branches through the scrog until the stretch stops.

Stefanzo Day 29 - first day of week 5! I chose week 5 as the first week of flower after much research here at the GD. Most autos seem to transition into flower at the end of week 5. If I don't see any flowers by the end of the week I will edit this to another veg week. Signs point to the start of flower. She's taller, and she has some clawing on some of the top fan leaves which means she's ready to increase her calcium load. Next feeding calls for more Herc, so we're right on schedule. I also did some scrog training by bending the main top under the screen. I'm definitely lowering the screen for future grows. I want to start screening around the 3rd or 4th node. Tracey is so compact tho, most likely thanks to the Bloom Khaos. I also removed 2 large fan leaves from the top. They were in the way and blocking lower sites from light. Other than that, she couldn't look healthier. Nice lush growth and a sweet smell from the leaves I removed. Oh, one more thing. I've been fighting extremely cold temperatures at night. I have a small space heater in the same room as the tent that turns on after lights out. Haven't been able to see just how cold it gets down there. Day 30 - First feeding of the year! Today was a supplemented tea, using Supre Myco Tea, SLF-100, Photosynthesis Plus, and 30 ml of Herc to top it off. Day 31 - At this point the screen is merely a branch support. The top I bent over yesterday straightened back up. The line has some serious slack now. I'm afraid to bend it anymore. She is just to tall and the main branch is to thick to train. That's okay. I don't expect her to get very tall during her stretch.

Stefanzo Day 36 - First day of week 5. Hoping to see some bud formation this week. Feeding "early flower" strength for the second week. Day 40 - Decided to use Mid Flower strength feed today. The flowers I hoped to see came out of nowhere. Also, my next feed is a tea feed, so I wanted to make sure she got a full regular feeding now. Went to the hydro store to get supplies for my veggie garden and got a few freebie samples. One of them, Ful-Power by BioAg, got put into the feed schedule. It's a fulvic acid that is known to play nice with the Nectar line.

Stefanzo Day 44 - Leaf tips are starting to yellow, indicating I've been feeding too hard. In response, today I made a "microbe bump" instant tea: 5 ml Gaia, Athena's, Kraken, and 10 ml Herc along with Photo Plus, SLF, and Myco Tea. The low dose of nutes will be enough for the microbes to consume and continue to break down leftover nutrients and bring PPM numbers down. Day 48 - today I gave half strength feeding from the Mid Flower dose. Slurry numbers came back okay, but I wanted to be sure they stay that way. I'll know if I'm on the right track when I get my slurry numbers before the next feed.

Stefanzo Day 50 - Week 8 and she’s looking good!
