Week 8 - Very frosty, starting to see her bulk up in real time.. Started giving her SST, I think it's making a difference. Either way, she's getting fat!
My SST Recipe:
1 Gallon of water
2-4 tablespoons of Gnarly Barley by Clackamas Coot (This is a pre-sprouted, dried, seed mix you can get either whole or milled. I got milled)
1 teaspoon of freeze-dried coconut water powder
1 Compost tea bag
Put the Gnarley Barley in the tea bag, put the tea bag in the water. I bubbled it, pretty sure that's optional since I only soaked for a few hours, but I also figured the additional agitation from the bubbles couldn't hurt. After a few hours the water was very milky, I squeezed out the bag, added the teaspoon of coconut water powder, and fed directly to the plants in a drench on this one, and a foliar spray on the other tent.
@ganjaq, Oh man yes, the 4 autos I've grown so far have all been super fruity smelling. This fucker is all skunk! I had to hook up the carbon filter about 10 days ago on her, she was stinking up both tents and my wife started complaining about the smell from the garage 😂
@Ferenc, So far I'm seeing about as many bud sites as with the auto's I've LST'd (even minus the branch I accidentally snapped off), but with far less work. The training of this plant has been very, very easy. Whereas with the scrog net, it was just fucking constant tweaking. When I finish up my photo run in the big tent I'll run 3 auto seeds, I'll expect them to be somewhere around 3x the size of this plant with the same general structure. I'm feeling that real hard, so as long as I don't have a sudden herming, or a really bad harvest, I'll continue to top rather than scrog/LST only.
