The growth of this lady seems to be very slowly. Could it be related to the soil mix (buffered coco coir 40%, soil 35%, perlite 10%, bokashi 13%, bat guano 2%) that I´m using? Is it recommendable to transplant her to a new soil media? She is with a pink kush also with slow grow
Well. I little improvement in the growth. I´ve topped her, and wait for a good explosion within next few days. I water her with a little of organic molasses to improve microorganism activity within the media.
Well. This girl begin to show some white pistils, so I think she probably enter to flowering next week. Overall, she looks great, good leaves color and no sign of over or underfeeding. However, I don´t know why she took so long to begin to flower. Hope flowering also don't take too long.
Nice beginning of week 8. This girls so far havent ask for nutrients. The runoff Ec oscillates between 1.2 and 2, and runoff ph range between 6.5 an 7.2. I think she is growing nice, not as thick and robust as I want, but for sure coul give a decent harvest.
Accidentally broke one of the two main colas. I put some tape, but the cola goes down. Should I wait if she recovers or remove that upper part of the cola?
You'll know in 24 hours if there's life back into the bit that broke off.. Ive snapped 2 before and came back no problem.. Snapped one that recovered into a 30g cola.. Moby dick xxl
This girl is still growing. Hope she stops next week and the buds begin to get fatten. Despite I broke one of the two main colas, the other stems of such cola begin to grow exponentially. Hope this mistake don't affect the yield of this lady. Despite Runoff EC is still high (ranges between 2 and 3 ms), ph is relatively stable (between 7 and 7.3) and the plant isn't showing signs of nute burn.
Nice beginning of week 10 for this lady. Runoff EC still very high (EC= 3 - 3.5) , so probably won't feed her until one or two weeks. I suspect the reason of the high EC is the soil amendment (Bokashi plus bat guano), and now some leaves seem to be turning a little bit dark green without signs of nute burn. Ph is stable, ranging from 6.5 to 7. Nice trichome production of this lady.
Nice week for this lady. Buds still fattening, and looks very frosty. Runoff EC still little bit high (EC=2) without signs of nutrient burn or salts build up (PH= 7). Probably feed her the next week with the bat guano humic extract that I´ve prepared.
This girls has darkened her leaves a little bit. Fed her 6 days ago with my bat guano humic extract at an EC=1.2. So far she is showing a stable runoff ph (6.6-6.7) and intermediate runoff EC (1.1-1.8). I don´t know what kind of nutrient excess is she showing, since theoretically the bat guano is the P-rich one, with very low levels of nitrogen. Probably the cause of the darked leaves lies in a phosphorus excess. I will let her rest of nutes for one week and see what happens.
Normal week for this plant. This girls has some yellowing on old and middle leaves. Considering the stability in the runoff ph (6.7-7.1) and EC (1.2-1.7), I guess this color could be related to a nitrogen deficiency. Moreover, In case it could be a magnesium deficiency due to an excess of P or K, I just add a little bit of epsom salts. Next week I´ll be checking trichomes.
Hi growers. Is this a nitrogen deficiency? Or Could be a zinc or magnesium deficiency? Currently at week 6 of flowering and givining to her a home-made bat guano humic extract. Thanks in advance.
Senescence (spelling). Plant is slowly dying toward end.
Some extra N would likely help reduce that fade (bottom of plant and up yellowing and from tips in = nitrogen), but don't over do it if very close to end.
The key is that a canopy of soem sort exists with soem green. Enough to finish powering it through. If you think it's fading too fast relative to when you are likely to harvest the plant, you do want to react to it, otherwise, it's normal and won't hurt you.
Some bud fattening this week. Gave her a little bit of earthworm casting humus to provide a little bit of nitrogen. However, yellowing of the leaves continue, still the color is really beautiful. First time I let a plant without nitrogen since middle of flowering,and probably do it again with next crops.
I consider this strain very strong. The fungus gnats infestation affected the cbd plants that were together with this plant. However, this girl did not show any sign of gnats infestation and growth normally. The early stress that I put on her early in her life (overwatering) stunted the growth, and It was reflected in the yield. However, 194 grams of wet weight is a decent harvest for an auto (not for this xl strain). Hopefully, I will get around 40 grams of dried buds.
The smell of the buds are amazing, very citrus and fruity., with a lot of resin production. In two weeks I will be updating the smoke report.
@JERgarden, i think also mate, for that time i wil use some guano tea and some green Sensation at the last weeks. Also got my eyes on pk 13/14 but i think that the guano's taste effects are minimal Then. Your journey is really intresting mate! I gonna do something with this in the future. A mate of mine told me about the banana thing. But he didn't make extract het Just layd them around the plants, great results! Maybe its beter to use the banana's as this could it be? The banana produces Then more of that hormone or something due to further ripe
@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks, I´ll enjoy it for sure. Gonna apply a mix of topping and LST with a own personal blend of super soil (Buffered coco, Soil, Perlite, Bat guano and Bokashi).

Congratulations! 👏
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 10 out of 10!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!

Week 7 and still veg with an Auto! Nice! This diary is giving me some hope that my first grow will go just as good as yours is. My girls are on day 7 and they look about the same size yours were at that time. I’m thinking it’s slow growth but if they turn out like yours then all is good. Did you change anything after that first and second week to make them grow bigger? When did you introduce nutrients?
@GetLit420, Hi mate! Yes, she already show some pistils, so next week she will be flowering. This was the second time I grow an auto without transplanting, so my bad skills regarding watering such a small seedling in a huge pot were evident at the beginning. I didn´t change anything after the second week, and I just add a little bit of liquid wormcastings humus during week 5. Since I prepare my own soil, I just realize that I don´t need nutrients probably until the second or third week of flowering (because of the runoff ec that I currently have). My only recommendation is just trying to not overwater, just try to maintain high levels of humidity and water when the soil is dry. Take care, mate.
