Seed was planted in soil the day after germination. First photograph taken was after she sprouted out of the soil. This was 3/6. She looks great. No nutrients so far. Just water. I consider the first week (3/4----3/10)
Week 2 was from (3/11-3/17). Things are going great. I have only been watering the plants. No trimming or nutrients so far. Plants are growing very quickly
(3/18--3/24).
Everything went well this week. Still no nutrients. Plants seem to be growing great and fast without any. No issues or deficiencies that I can notice. Things are great so far!
(3/25--3/31). This week went really well. It's amazing how fast the autoflower plants grow in 1 day. I've never seen a plant grow so quickly. I have not used any nutrients so far.
Does this look like a normal size autoflower plant beginning in week 4? It popped out of the ground on march 4th and the first photograph is taken on march 6th during week 1. And the mast picture was taken today (3/27). It has been about 21 days total.
Yes, the plant looks great for 3 weeks. She is growing fast enough that I would probably do a light defoliation on a couple of the upper fan leaves. I see a few that are blocking budsites and if you can open them up to more light they will grow up even with the top and give you more top buds. Good luck in flower!
(4/1--4/7). There has been explosive growth. This is the first week I am adding nutrients.
Growth has been amazing. She has been growing well over 1 inch per day. There seems to be many different bud sites and several main colas.
I have not done any training so far. Just some tucking of leaves and trimming of a few fan leaves blocking new bud sites. Otherwise plant is growing on her own.
Should I defoliate a few fan leaves towards the bottom of the plant? She is very very wide and bushy. I feel like the bottom would produce some large branches and buds if there was more light penetrating. And there are so many leaves tucking only gets so much light through.
I regularly defoliate extra leaves that block light to new growing branches and interfere with the development of internodes. Don't forget that you grow inflorescences, not leaves, so you don't need to feel sorry for them! I often even remove the upper leaves so that they do not cast a shadow on the developing inflorescences
Day 1 of week 6– Things seem to be going great. She got her first feeding of nutrients this past week and she seems to be responding great. Going to continue the same feeding schedule.
Day 7 or week 6— everything has been great this week. I used some very minor LST training on the large plant to open up some sunlight to some of the smaller branches. Looking forward to starting to see the buds form some mass.
Day 1 of week 7–this would make the largest plant 43 days old today. Things are going great as far as I can tell. I used very minimal nutrients during this week. Will add some flowering nutrients on the next feed. Looking to see some density on the buds in the upcoming weeks.
I think everything looks great so far. The buds are starting to connect and fatten up each day. Noticeably larger every morning. The smell is starting to develop its fruity characteristics.
The buds are getting much fatter. There have not been any deficiencies I can see so far. Looking forward to seeing how fat the buds can get before harvest. Seems like she still has a few weeks
Getting close to the finish. The MSNL seed bank states 75 days from seed. That means about 10-15 days left give or take. I’m hoping the buds will fatten up this week and next.
The fan leaves are starting to yellow a lot during this phase.
I’m super excited to see how she turns out. The smell is really strong. The buds are all pretty large, but still hoping they get a bit denser. They are still a bit fluffy at the moment and there are still more white pistols than amber pistols on all of her buds.
She is on Day 73 of the suggested 75 -80 days recommended by MSNL seed bank website. Im thinking another 10 -15 days... but this is my first grow so unsure yet.
She should be ready for harvest any day. Getting eager now. Trying to give her a few more days if possible. The hairs are about 50/50 white and amber/orange. And the trichomes are getting cloudy. Maybe 5 more days
