Fo' Twenny here! 🙋♀️
Back with another update on our Cotton Candy Cane cultivar from breeder Emerald Triangle Seeds. Thanks, again, goes out to Emerald Triangle Seeds for allowing me to test their genetics!
➡️SUMMARY⬅️
It's week 3 of the vegetative cycle and she is looking wonderful! She is a nice healthy shade of green, has tight internodal spacing, and her leaves are wide showing signs of her Indica genetics. She's is a 50/50 hybrid, so i am sure we will see some of those Sativa traits in her as ahe progresses.
I am trying to get more precise and add more detail to my diaries. Let me know your thoughts! Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.
Now on to the details!

She received approximately 3.25 gallons of nutrient solution. Of 10 gallons mixed, 36 oz is divided by 3 autoflowers and the remainder of the solution was shared by 3 plants.

Topped her just above the third node leaving a smaall "nub" that will help prevent stem splitting in the future. Performed some light selective defoliation. 🌿
_________________________________
🚿 I mist the medium between feeds with plain H2O💧 with pH adusted within range of 6.1-6.5. Probably about every other day, give or take. I typically give about 8 -12 oz at a time between feeds.

@Treighfunky, You should see her now! She is my star pupil, hopefully she is as impressive throughout flower as she has been through veg! I love this little lady! Updates coming soon!
@Treighfunky, Thank you! The Zkittlez was a bit thirsty on photo day so, she was looking a bit rough. Seems she drinks a bit more than the other two! I always appreciate you stopping by! Have a great day my friend!
Must say I love how much detailed info u put in ur diaries 💚💚 that’s a lot of work ...besides all the work u have with all the diferent strains u got ! 🌱
Awesome 💪😉
@Treighfunky, Thanks for stopping by! They seem to be responding well. I used my lux meter to dial in. Canopy height varies with the autoflowers growing so much faster. They're getting about 65k at the top and the lower plants are closer to 45k or so. I need to measure light to canopy distance still. I didn't get time, so I haven't changed anything on my diary regarding that. Cheers and happy growing!
@MrJones, I put it in the hole under the the Jiffy peat pellets for the roots to grow into. I did sptinkle a little Mycos on top of the peat pellets too.
@northernMike, Thanks for stopping by!! I am suuuuper busy. I have a full time job and young kids too! The holidays are crazy! I promise, I will get caught up on these diaries soon!
