Auto Blue

leliantu 1 week of this Blue Berry Autoflowering from the Spanish bank Pyramid Seed

leliantu 2 weeks. The first watering with root fertilizer is applied. The plant is growing slowly for my taste (first Auto I'm growing) I attribute it to the fact that the nights have been a bit cold where I live. I'm eager for the plant to take off.

leliantu The Blue from Pyramid is still growing slowly, I think it's due to the cold weather this past month. On the other hand, the white pistils haven't shown up yet, so it still has some time to grow.

leliantu This week the plant showed its sex and the first pistils appeared on the stem, so I started applying flowering nutrients and flowering stimulators. It continues to grow strong and healthy.

leliantu 2 weeks into flowering, the flowers are already forming along the stem and on the branches, I applied LST and the plant is reacting quite well.

leliantu This week there are no photos, too much to do and I couldn't make it, but for week 8 we'll be back with images. Moving on to the plant, I don't know if it's the substrate mix, the genetics of the strain, or the climate that's causing the plant to develop so slowly; it's been 7 weeks since germination and the plant is growing very slowly and apparently isn't eating much.

leliantu I was reading on the Pyramid Seeds page the description of this strain, and they said that this genetic variety had managed to fix the feeding issues that the original variety (Pyramid Blue non-auto) had. Well, that's not quite true; this plant is already 8 weeks old and has barely developed at all (especially compared to another auto that I'm also growing). It hardly consumes any water, and its roots are far from having colonized the entire pot space. During the week, I reinforced the substrate with Micro Vita and had previously applied mycorrhizae. One can only hope that in the little time it has left, it will manage to consume more nutrients and fatten up those flowers a bit more. For now, this genetic variety is a disappointment in terms of cultivation; I hope its effects and flavor aren't.

leliantu The same feeding regimen is maintained. The plant has grown a bit more, but for now, it’s not taking off; I think I might have been overdoing it a bit with the water, and that has stalled its growth.

leliantu This plant hasn't grown well, that's the conclusion. I think it was influenced by the fact that I planted it in September and where I live it was particularly cold around that time, and then I overwatered it. This was the last week I fertilized; now I'll just water with flush or enzymes. On the other hand, despite its little development, it smells amazing, so I think it should be a great plant when it develops properly, which is why I'm going to keep trying to grow it. I have 2 more seeds of this strain, and the weather here is already warmer (both day and night).

leliantu Last week, I've already done six waterings with Flawless Finish to flush the roots. This strain is really tough to grow; it didn't eat much and it was hard for it to grow. In the last few weeks, it gained strength and developed. I have seeds left and I'm going to try again.
