Automatik Mix - Critical Purp - Seedsman

buttmunchpirate Very first grow, hoping for the best! End of week comments: The babies are sprouting nicely, super happy about it. I'll be purchasing some nutes this weekend to give on day 14 :)

buttmunchpirate Transplanted the critical purple towards the end of day 11. Hoping all went well. Topped the pot with soil for automatik as it wasn't filling the 3 gallon pot (beginner mistake). Midway through day 12 I fed some very light big bloom nutes to begin the nutrient feeding schedule. Day 14: WHOO! End of week 2. Things are looking great, the critical purple seems to have taken off a bit faster which I guess is due to starting the plant in a solo cup vs the final medium like I did for the automatik. Although, for all I know it could be genetics :)

buttmunchpirate Watered on day 17 and I think critical purple was slightly overwatered. Her leaves were beginning to claw and droop, at first I was worried about a nitrogen surplus but it seems to have bounced back in a day and the clawing has rescinded/mostly gone away. Only at 50% nutes and doesn't seem to be an issue so I'll keep feeding as scheduled :) Day 19: Still a slight droop in the critical purple. Watered very little for both this morning. Hoping she bounces back with a few days of no water. End of week 3! Gave both babies a full watering last night to 20% runoff which I haven't done yet. Afraid I've been underwatering. No more!

buttmunchpirate Day 22: -Found the first pistils emerging from the Automatik. YAY :) -At week 4 I'm now accepting the fact that putting a critical purple pheno and an atuomatik auto in the same grow was not a bright idea. First time stupid grower stufff. I've begun topping and LST to spread out and train the pheno and possibly extend her veg stage while the auto bulks up, I will eventually have to switch to 12/12 for the pheno, which I'm afraid will harm my yield from the auto. Oh well, first timer mistakes. There's a chance that topping and LST will help me get a much better yield from the pheno and make up for that yield lost anyhow. Day 28: -Flipping tomorrow to 12/12 to begin the flower on the photo. Hopefully the yields from the automatik will still be decent even under 12/12.

buttmunchpirate Day 29: First day of flower, fed the ladies this morning, lets hope this goes well! Day 35: End of flowering week 1! Overall everything looks great, the auto is exploding and the pistils have begun showing on the critical purple photo. Defoliated lightly this morning to open up some bud sites on the critical purple.

buttmunchpirate Day 36: Beginning of week 6! Everything is looking great. Ordered another ts600 to add to the mix. Hoping for some good yields. Day 39: Pistils are getting large on the critical purple :) Day 40: End of day I got my second ts600, now we have one for both plants :) this yield should hopefully be awesome!

buttmunchpirate Day 43: Kicking off week 7 of flower, some of the pistils on the automatik are turning orange :) Day 48: Pistils on the critical purple are going wild!

buttmunchpirate Day 50: Everything looks great, pistils are turning amber on the auto. Pistils are starting to pop on the critical purple. Day 52: Automatik is showing some nute issues, I believe this stems from my inaccurate readings with ph test dye. I've ordered a new PH tester so I can get exact, she's going to get only water for the next 2 weeks. Hoping 4-5 weeks left on her. As for the critical purple we've got a ways to go. Day 56: End of week 8, the auto is nearing completion. Breeders suggest an average 60-80 day flowering time and she sure is turning orange and fattening up. Hoping to harvest within the next month :) The critical purple has a while to go but damn does she look good!

buttmunchpirate Day 58: Took a sample yesterday of the automatik and dear lord she is beautiful. She's matured very fast, breeder suggested a 60-80 days from seed harvest so seems right on time. Gonna harvest for cloudy trichs and less amber.

buttmunchpirate Day 65: Critical Purple is booming, she's fattening up into all those pistils and beginning to stink :) Day 68: It stinks! Loving the kush smells coming off this Critical Purple :)

buttmunchpirate Day 71: All water from here forth, noticing some nute burn. Seems about time to start the flush anyways.
