***** Week 6 December 19 to 25, 2020 - Days 36 to 42 from germination *****
Last weeks started as veg but changed it to a Flower week early on. She started flower last week and is forming bud sites this week and will hopefully start stacking some by the end of the week. She is growing slightly narrower leaf blades now. She also has a growing number of leaves on her. I have pulled a couple of leaves from her but itโs probably less than 10 leaves total thus far. She is looking really nice for width. I wish I was growing her in a five gallon pot so I could pull down her branches further away from her main stem๐๐
Watering does need to increase in her pot is a nice weight now after 24 hours and she is pretty close to feeding again. Silica was started last week and will continue for a couple of weeks. AstroFlower, Renoโs PK boost, also started as we are into Bloom now. Increasing the water and with the, getting taller I will also be looking to increase the light intensity by end of the week. Lower leaves are showing some deficiency issues and will be increasing the feedings to counter act. Also, a few random yellow spots randomly on leaves that will likely turn brown so will be increasing the CalMag as well. Autos are always so calcium hungry and with using RO water it can get away from you pretty quickโน๏ธ๐
Little more daily detail.........
Dec 19/20, Day 36
- time for some feed. Pot is really nice and dry today.
- 2L feed with AN Rhinoskin, Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, AstroFlower, VeloKelp, Natures Candy @ 2ml = 900ppm and 5.8pH.
- She received her first PK boost today with AstroFlower.
- She also received her first dose of Silica today.
- Some lines say to use Silica in Veg but I have always waited until they flip because I am typically bending branches through veg. If I start making them firm too early, they are tough to LST๐๐
Dec 20/20, Day 37
- Dry out day after heavier feed yesterday.
- She is growing well and widening up. Her leaf colour is perfect and now growth points only slightly yellow๐

- leaves are a little narrow compared to two weeks ago.
Dec 21/20, Day 38
- need to add some moisture

Dec 22/20, Day 39
- dry out day today.
- her pot was pretty light in evening.........she is taking just over a day to dry out now.....basically at daily watering now.
- going to let her go and feed in the morning tomorrow.

- pull her out tomorrow evening and clean up some low growth and see what is happening......she has lots of small branching that I will strip off of her.
Dec 23/20, Day 40

Dec 25/20, Day 42

- 1150ppm and 5.9pH going in.........pots were really dry and perfect pretty well.
- Runoff was 925ppm and 6.1pH.........I can live with that at week 2 flower๐๐
Hi @@ALTINPIPO, they are 12L. I am going to give some 5 gal try once my bags are done. Like air pots, I do miss being able to dump a bunch of water in the top though. You have to take your time with hand watering.
Cheers and have an event free week๐๐ช
Thank you for this massively detailed diary. May I ask a question about your lights? I have been following along and find that you are adjusting the lights each week to find the sweet spot. When you are trying to dial in your lights, what are you looking for to let you know that you are close to perfect? Is it a combination of lowing the wattage and lowering/raising? What is your secret light adjustment sauce? I read in the week 5 that you are looking for the leaves to droop a bit if the light is too intense/close. Thanks so much!
Brilliant mate I am Just about to order for first time off fast buds this gives me the boost a need think I will change from the coco to the nutrients you are using this will be my second time doin it keep it up mate
