First off hi All! So this would be my first grow ever. So Here's my plan. I don't have a proper indoor system for my ladies so I decided to go outdoor with them. But as far as I know Autoflowering plants loves light. So I Found a few light tubes but they are not quite fluorescent ones but led's I guess. Anyway they know 2170lm's 36W each and I set up 3 of them to support them during the night. Maybe its absolutely worthless , I'll see. So early in the morning I take them out and close to knight I take them back inside under the lights.
Okayy. So Second week ended and uhm everything looks great as far as I can determine. But I noticed something weird or unusual at least. The girl number 3 as you can see the second pair leaves is a bit unusual. Its not really symmetric and they don't have the other two leaves around them just one which kinda awkward. Despite that little issue they look healthy. With the 14th day they got a bit fertiliser to get used to it and boost them. The soil is very light nutritiated soil guess its time to regularly feed them. If you noticed something please don't hesitate to comment.
Nothing really changed since last week, but I can see the growing process is getting faster and faster. I water them every 3rd day, seems to be enough. I added to the water a bit fertiliser and between watering days I spray the leaves with it.
Day17 and 18th. The plants showed some signs of nutrient excess I think. Its not severe but I will cut off the nutrients or at least degrade a bit. I'm not gonna give them any more nutrient until everything went back to normal. After that I half the dosage and start again the feeding. Oh and I almost forgot the girl no.1 is started some twisting like crazy, which I don't know why. But If I would have to guess its nutrient excess as well. I hope they will get better. :)
Day18 and 19. Seems like the plants have managed to fix the nutrient excess and now they are looking perfect and damn they started to smell a bit :) Very tasty lemon, citrus like smell. Im very happy so far with these plants.
Hello again! So half-way of the 4th week and the stems getting thicker which is great. As you may have noticed I repotted them to a 12 litre pot, and seems like they didn't mind it at all. And as you can see I did my life first LST training as well and fortunately I didn't snapped anything :) of course if you have any suggestion or something you have noticed do not hesitate to write it down :)
Day25-25 : Alright so I think I did a good job with the repot and with the LST. Its a very easily managable little plant, ooooh I am too good in this 😅 bytheway I can already see the results of LST. Look like they didn't mind it... what else they actually loved it as far as I can see. So far im very happy with this strain. Grows well, smells amazingly good. can't wait for the results 😊
Hi! I’m wondering if they are growing properly , cause I compared to other grow diaries and seemes like my plants are quite small to its ages. So what do you think? Or any suggestion? Thanks in advance
Looks like your about a week behind, judging from where my girls usual are at 4 weeks...
I think from looking at your pictures, she's slightly overwatered... Let her dry out for a couple of days and then try to keep a thight dry/wet cycle... Good luck!
Hi there! So its been week six. I will write the past week's details here also because its easier. Ok so the girl no.1 looks very very good. In the first weeks I thought the one day advantage was the answer for the size differences between the other two but you can clearly see now that it wasn't. She responded very well to the nutrient. The second one didn't responded very well and I and probably you can see as well (if the photo is not too bad). There are a few burnt, damaged leaves. Although I'm not quite sure if that's the reason but I stopped feeding her and seemed the burnt signs went away. And the third one.... In the first weeks I was hundred percent that this going to be the best phenotype even though it has a weird leaf from the beginning.
So as you can see on the pictures (I Will upload some pictures tomorrow) burn signs everywhere. A new shoot is completely gone. I mean not completely but it looks horrible. But seems like the nutrient cut off helped her as well. So today lesson is be very very gentle when feeding this genotype. Despite the little errors I think they are doing very well and so am I even though this is my first grow.
I prefer to have my LST training complete before flower, but you can still continue..
The end of week 2 flower is around your last chance to LST, before the stems thicken up, and force you to HST (supercrop) to get a desired shape.
Hi there! So end of this week I decided to stop let and let them grow. I tried to give them 0.5 ml/l of nutrient but seems like it is too much for them so I'll stick with the current amount.
Hi! So we are in flowering for quite some time. Stems gotten very stiff. I increased the amount of nutrients a bit, nothing special. Im on a budget so can't buy a PK fertiliser for flowering but I guess I will do it. Oh yes and maybe you have noticed but pests and every kind of insect has attacked my plants so I ordered neem oil and already tried to spray them with potassium soap. I hope it will help them. Despite the pests they are developing very well and the smell is otherworldly. Im very eager to taste it :) See you in the next week, stay tuned.
Hello again! I guess everything is under control. Towards end of the week I tried to increase the nutrient and they responded very well actually. In the beginning they didn't like it so that's why I waited too long to increase it. But they are doing well. Fortunately I found another nutrient which has more phosphorus so it comes pretty handy in flowering stage.
Heyyy! So as you may have noticed I absolutely lost control over them.... I mean I didn't want to remove any healthy leaves just the absolutely necessary ones which prevent the plant to breath. But they look very healthy and smells amazing. I actually did not expect such a great result as it is. Last week I experimented with the new fertiliser and I think this amount will be enough, even though the recommended would be like 2ml/l they are doing very well, but I'm not going to increase the amount of nutrients because I think this is the golden middle path.
End of the week. Unfortunately I broke a quite big stem on Girl no. 2 as you can see and I had to improvise with a duck tape which I guess will help. The reason why I broke it is because it was stuck under another one and I had to kind of pull it out from there to air-ate it a bit. If I haven't done this bud rot could've happened so I was like I loose that stem It is still better then 2 huge colas rotten.
Yeah so that is pretty much it. They still smell amazing and looks healthy and 💪. See you next week
Hey guys! So my plants are flowering very well, and at this point I realised I don't have any kind of microscope or magnifier. Do you have any kind of solution for this?
thx in advance.
Well if you can't get a hold of a microscope, you can always go for the time recommended by the breeder. You can also try and look at the hairs. In most cases they will color and start to curl in the end of flowering. Though you should be careful not to touch the flowers since this will also cause them to color and curl 😉 In general it's also recommendable to when you think it's ready for harvest, wait another week or two. All these methods will help, but in the end a microscope will make your "harvesting at the right time" much easier 😊
Hi! So my question is the same as with my other diary. The breeder recommended harvest time is 12 week, and for me some of them looks ready. So please help me out wwyd now.
Start flushing or feeding for a few week? thanks
not all seeds are created equal. When doing a pheno hunt you will pop loads of seeds and pick the best from the bunch. So when ordering seeds from seed banks you are basically doing your own pheno hunt. Some seeds will finish quicker than others even though they from the same batch. It is more than likely that your flowers will be ready before the breeders flowering time.
Do you have jewellers loop or a magnifying glass? Take a look at the trichomes and see if they are milky or amber or clear. This is the best way to determine when to flush your plants.
Happy growing!
Hello guys! So I've decided to start flushing them, since I don't have a magnifier but they seem ready. I had the cut some little stems inside the plant. I dried it and smoked it and it was honestly pretty good, so for me it is a another indicator they are ready to harvest. Maybe I'm not going to harvest at the and of the week, ill see. But i will start the flushing for sure. Unfortunately there is a lot of ruderalis cannabis in my region so there will be a lot of seeds I guess.... If they look ready at the end of the week ill cut them. See ya
