Tonks' MSNL Auto GDP

My first purple strain! :D Timing should hopefully work out for this one to get nice and purples, since it'll be autumn when she's flowering and much cooler temps. :) Struggled a bit getting this gal started - first bean overheated and died. Second one germinated no problems, but after sprouting she had her little seed helmet stuck for nearly two days... I tried to gently pop it off but it was stuck really good!! Had to some super delicate work (thank god I have tiny hands) but eventually got it off - she was all yellow/white leaves from being stuck in there so long. But she pulled through! Hooray 😃

Talk about good genetics! Honestly this gal has been through all kinds of craziness this week, including being shut in my car under a tarp for 6 hours for an open house on a 35C day (I had the windows ajar to get a bit of air in the car but it was bloody hot and humid). Yet she seems to be thriving! Really happy with how fast she's growing, will be topping her at 15 days. If all goes well I'll only have to pop her in the car for 3 hours next time, and only two more occasions - just had some organisational problems this week. I've ordered some Silica (Cyco) today so I can start adding that to her feeds, just in case she turns into a monster 😃 Sick of my plants falling down when they get fat.

So I topped this gal at the 4th node on day 15. 😀 She barely noticed, growth is still going gangbusters. We were much better organised this week so she only spent 3 hours in the car for the open house. Mr Tonks got the tent back up on his own cause I was at work, good thing he's tall and handy cause I woulda been useless, can't reach the top bars to lock them in! #shortpplproblems Started to get some yellow in patches coming in from the sides of the leaves, you can see a bit of it on the first day 20 photo. I'm thinking some kinda PK deficiency? I'll start adding the flowering nutes and see if that clears it up. Also got some silica this week and started adding that to her feeds. :D

Sorry for the delays in updating, I'm about to drop a couple weeks at once. Things have been a bit of a nightmare this month - on top of open houses and having the flu (4 weeks and counting, really ready for it to bugger off now), my little brother is passing away. It wasn't unexpected, he was born with major brain damage so they always said he'd live til around 27, but since I'm sick I haven't been allowed to visit and say goodbye at the risk of infecting all the other kids in the facility. Life can be a bit shit sometimes. ANYWAY This week went off without an issue - started to move to flowering nutes. She's getting bigger every day, seems happy and healthy! I don't feed all of the above nutes at once so don't panic about the EC. Added some stakes so I could open up the branches a little more. She was already too tall to tie to the sides of the pot so this was the best I could think of! :)

Steady growth this week :) Noticed a funky split branch that looks kinda like it topped itself, though that was pretty cool! Been trying to keep the lower part of the plant clean but since I have space I'm not being too brutal with chopping lower bud sites. The HPS gives good penetration and I'm keen to see if I can maximise the yields - not sure this craziness is the best way to achieve that but gosh darnit I'm gonna do my best

She's going strong! Still keeps growing lol she's getting pretty uge. Really good spacing though so the light is getting through. She's super thirsty, sometimes needing more than 3L a day to get runoff. Flushing twice a week, I think this is the longest I've ever gone without massive tip burn so I'm pretty happy :D

Getting frosty!! Finally got this diary up to date, day 49 was yesterday so we're all on track now. Here's hoping April is better than March cause that month was a nightmare. This week was PK Heavy week :D My favourite of the weeks. She's responding really well, the triches are building nicely, and the smell has kicked into overdrive, smacks me in the face when I open the tent. Smells delicious! Weirdly some of the pistils are turning orange already, not seen that happen before this quickly? Keen to see if the colour starts changing to purple or if this pheno is just gonna stay this colour.

Cruising towards the finish line with this gal! Getting steadily more frosty, buds getting fatter, all the good things :D Not too much to report really!

Goddamn this gal is stinky! In a delicious way :D Dropped back the A and B this week, from the look of the trichomes should be about one more week of feed then flush time, so I'm gonna lower the EC next week a bit and focus mostly on the PK.

Oh such a stinky gal. :D Just stuck with PK nutes this week leading into the flush. My weeks are a little off, so I started this nute schedule on day 62. Started to flush on day 68. The temperature is finally easing off a bit, starting to see a little purpling in the tops of some buds but think that's the best I'll get in the these conditions. Or it could be a pheno thing. Either way, she's so frosty and smells so good I really don't mind missing out on my first purple weed. Hopefully smooth sailing til harvest!

Flush week! It's gotten a lot cooler this week so some of the purple tones started to come through on the buds which is kewl :D

Had a great time documenting this grow, despite all the drama going on in my personal life. This is my last diary for a few months while we find a new home, but got all my seeds ready to go as soon as we're settled in. :) Thanks to everyone for all the comments and support. Much love! #girlsgrowtoo0
