Hi, and welcome to my new diary!
This time I would like to grow more than 1 plant so I spent some more seeds to germinate.
I am again far away from providing ideal conditions for my plant(s): this time the weather temperature is so hot, that the plants have to stand 29-31'C and they are obviously feeling bad.
Hopefully they will recover.
During week # 3 I understood that I have stressed the plants seriously again :(
They almost stopped growing and looked very "sad" with leaves looking down.
I was so sad and depressed that had no wish to take any pictures.
This week is empty because of the way how helpless it felt.
I thought of cutting the plants and starting a new grow cycle...
As soon as day temperature has fallen to 28'C the plants have stabilized it's growth and appearance.
I plan to finish this grow to answer the question: How a 2-week heat stress may affect the harvest :)
So good so far :)
Well, after 2 weeks of Dubai season in my box (up to +32'C) the current +28'C seems to work pretty nice, as the plants look "green" and healthy IMHO.
At the same time I have noticed they are a bit stretched and do not have a lot leaves - any confident advice here is appreciated.
I can't believe my eyes, the plants I wanted to cut recovered so well, especially if you look at the big one 😎
Comparing my current and previous grow cycles, I can say that most likely heat stress affects autoflowers lesser than topping😄
Looking good :)
The middle one is my best plant ever. Also i made some bending to the bottom kolas, so they can get more light.
At this stage it is easy to distinguish the difference between strains.
This week has proven I need to change the nutrients.
It is great to use ready-made complexes, but in a situation like I have (it is visually clear 2 out of 3 plants are lacking of N), I need separate nutrients in order to increase the amounts of specific nutrient but not the A or B liquid.
The big plant looks great, it has relatively many yields.
The other two plants changed and despite a lot of yellow leaves, they look different and I am not sure now these are the same strain.
Will definitely dry them and store separately to feel the difference.
The right one looks over-fertilated :(
So I will probably cut her earlier. Not sure if it is recommended, but I feel it should work.
The middle one is sick! :) Especially considering the high temp stress they all suffered at early days.
😋
Well, this time I got appx 100 gramms from 3 plants, which is much better than my previous experience.
I am learning and getting more clear understanding of how not to make those crucial mistakes.
