A beautiful grow. I wanted colour in a bud and I got it. She shrugged off a lack of watering on my part like it was nothing. With smooth almost plastic unreal looking leaves, this girl is gorgeous.
The time has come to pass for this super cool Red poison auto from Sweet seeds.
The one bud beauty has been fun from the start.
It took as much time trying to figure out what 16oz was in English and then actually find a 473ml cup, as it took this girl to germinate.
I've mentioned before it was a picture entry from this this comp previous that drew me to grow diaries in the first place. (Yes I'm a bud slut, don't judge)
Back to miss Red P, she has taken the usual beating of me forgetting to water and feed a few days, a neglect that all my plants enjoy at some stage of their lives.
She started life in a converted shoe cupboard grow thing and ended her weeks in the main converted wardrobe where alongside the usual cheap LEDs she has had a few doses of the old UVB 10 reptile light. *Giving her a fantastic sugar looking crystal coating. My opinion through some research and personal experimentition*
Although nuits problems showed in her leaves in the second half of her growing life and some forgeful watering, they produced some stunning, ever changing colours, which were ironically a nice change to see from the regular grows of green and would probably have been more concerned if it was happening to one of the other girls.
The Purple to Red coloured main bud is bigger than the cup itself and weighs a ton. I had to put support in last week to hold her upright.
Her leaves look fake and plastic as my wife commented, true too which makes for a nice look I've never seen before.
perfect timing on the grow time although I could have harvested earlier to be fair but the bud just kept getting bigger and well, you know. ..
As of writing I've not posted the root pics but will soon.. . Honest... I just like looking at her for now.. . Every now and then a quick admiring close up look at them buds.....
I just don't want to part with her yet ok. give me time!
I'd say natural because of her already being in a small container and an auto. I would think it would stunt her a bit. Just my opinion though and I'm no expert by any definition of the word haha. She looks good though.
Thanks Big P, you too.
Say Hi to Ivanka for me, I haven't seen her in a while.
Oh and Tiffany left some stuff round mine, could you tell her to give me a call.
Peace
You've got a good strong start. I noticed that week 2 mine started showing calcium and magnesium deficiencies already because of the small amount of soil. So I'm trying to dabble slightly with the most miniscule amount of nutes to keep her going but not burning.
@GrowGirl419, thanks. The soil I'm using is cheap multi purpose compost 3 for £10 I bought about 6 years ago, aimed at "growing your own veg"
I've never checked properly but it seems to be pretty good on its own (for now) the nuit side of things but time will tell.
Good luck
I went through the same thing recently. I got off schedule with being down physically again. She bounces back quite nicely. Doing well my friend. I think we're going to enjoy the dickens out of these beauties!
This has given me a a little inspiration in my small tent. So much so I’ve just chucked 2 x Sour Diesel Autos in paper towel for 2 small pot plants. I will start a new diary :) I have some bio biz nuits and some soil :) thanks mate, I really find your diaries interesting.
@SneakyDog, Thanks, if I've inspired you then, good stuff! I'm humbled.
Truth is I'm just skint. Life is teaching me there's always a cheaper way, although not always the easiest.
Had a grow in a shoe cupboard about 12 months ago.
My first grow & 'tent' was made with a few poles from a canvas set of bedroom draws and a bed sheet pegged around.
Good luck with your grows. 👍
