Direct seed into jiffy pellet- I cut the bottom mesh out. Once I saw the seedling emerge I put directly into the 5gal container. Using promix box. This will be my first autoflower.
Fertilized very little at crown of plant w/ cal mag and bio thrive grow. Low rates.
Same rate but applied solution heavier around the outside of "root ball". As roots mature hopfully the low rate fertilizer will run out and result in roots rapidly searching deep down the container for more npk.
This week I used camping stakes to start the lst. Also removed a few "suckers" so the middle canopy does not get to crowded. The plant is looking very green so I watered once with clear water. The nodes are really tight- I am thinking about raising the light to get a little bit of stretch.
This plant is 36 days old. Does it look behind or on track to you? I'm wondering if I stunted it or of I'm just over thinking it.
I'd love to hear any feedback but especially want to know how you think the size is. Also light to weak? 54watt optic phantom
Hey Growmie,
Considering that you've trained your plant I'd say it looks to be on track and isn't showing any signs of stunted growth, we all tend to overthink it when it comes to growing, we just want to do our best.
Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".
Buds are swelling up but the nodes seem so tight. I think I lost some potential weight by keeping the light to low in veg. Also lowered the light aggressively this week and stressed out the plant. The veg plant next to flowering plant got very droopy. Lessons learned! Overall excited to see what happens the next few weeks. I might feed with veg feed 1 time to try and expand some new growth for the buds to fill into.
The buds are getting thicker! Still pretty short but it looks very dense so I'm happy to see the weight is packing on. I'm getting yellowing on my top leaves that I think either is from light stress for not enough of a micro nutrient. I pulled a few leaves off that were covering buds but not major defoliation. I think 2 more weeks and this lady will be ready to chop.
This week I harvested (3) of the biggest branches. I left some of the smaller ones to see if they will get bigger and if the high will be noticeably different. I'll do a blind test in the future. I'll harvest the total plant next week and after drying I will report on the total dry weight. The buds are much denser and heavier then what I've harvested in the past. I might leave one small branch to see if I can get a seed or two for another future grow.
Lessons learned from this grow:
Distance the light better to get more stretch- the buds did not grow to large due to small nodes.
Lower the light slower so I dont stress the plant
Stop LST when flower initiates. My colas have some weird shapes due to the lst. I think it might be better to LST only in veg then let the plant grow up.
Be patient and stop looking into the tent every 2 minutes.
Please send me your thoughts and advice!
Cheers
The buds were pretty small but very frosty. Great smoke that gives a energizing high. The type of weed that will get you up to do the dishes. Overall love the high but my yeild was pretty low. I think a lot of factors at play but mainly not enough node stretch and lst to long into the grow.
Certainly did a few things wrong and I can tell with my low yeilds but I'm excited for my next grow. Summary of improvements:
Keep light higher to get better stretch and less light stress
Use smaller pot so I can cycle the plant/ nutrients better.
Add PK booster to increase yeild.
Stop LST once plant shows sign of flowering
Well, popped 3 seeds from this strain and the average per plant waa pretty low yes - around 20 grams per plant.
The high is also energizing on mine, which was unexpected to be honest. I was expecting to get couch locked for awhile.
Happy growing 👌🏻🙏
