Grow # 18 - Crystal Candy XL Auto

Here we are for Grow # 18, I can't believe it's been that many already and we're just getting started. This grow will be a first for me as it will feature a breeder I haven't used before, so drumroll, please ........ I decided to go with Sweets Seeds Crystal Candy XL Auto. This is A tall, fourth-generation auto-flowering strain. It was produced by selecting and crossing tall examples of our Crystal Candy Auto®️ plants. The genetics have been developed as part of a special program designed to discover interesting, exquisite, and subtly sweet aromas that evoke an olfactory sensation of sweet shops. The buds have a very sweet, fruity scent with aromatic tones of bubble gum and jelly beans, complemented by shades of acidic strawberries and ripe melons. This strain produces large amounts of aromatic resin crystals and beautiful buds. The plants easily grow over 1 meter tall. I've listed the equipment that will be featured in this grow before getting into the germination process. Equipment Used: Hydro Planet 2x4x5 Grow Tent 3-Gallon Plastic Pot Happy Frog Soil Vivosun 300 watts Full Spectrum Grow Light Vivosun 4" inch Exhaust Fan Vivosun Carbon Filter Vicks Cool Mist Humidifier 4 Desk Fans Acurite Hygrometer 7:00 PM 11/3/2020 Placed Sweet Seeds Crystal Candy Auto XL into a shot glass of water that had a ph of 6.2 8:27 PM 11/5/2020 The seed was cracked open and showing a small taproot after 48-hours of soaking. The seed was placed in a moist paper towel and then place in a black plastic container. 5:56 PM 11/6/2020 The seed had a tap root big enough to planted so into the soil she went. 5:00 PM 11/7/2020 checked to see if there was any sign of life while checking on my Chemdawg seedling and still nothing. 9:18 PM 11/8/2020 Checked on the Crystal Candy XL Auto seed today and it was above the soil and doing very well. Once the true leaves get a bit bigger we'll start counting days. 1:19 PM 11/11/2020 (Day 1) The true leaves were finally big enough to start counting days, so Day 1 begins today, and she is looking good. 2:06 PM 11/14/2020 (Day 4) The Crystal Candy XL auto received her first watering today, she got 250 ml of ph balanced water that had a ph of 6.2. 12:30 PM 11/15/2020 (Day 5) The Crystal Candy XL auto took her first watering very well and is looking great. 8:45 PM 11/17/2020 (Day 7) We've reached the end of the first week for the Crystal Candy XL Auto and things are still looking fairly decent. I do see some slight tip burn which is leading me to believe she wasn't ready to be water along with getting misted. Overall It's been a good first week and after seeing the other diaries I'm excited to get her going. Now it's time for my favorite part of my diary... "S/O TIME"!!! This week's BIG THANK YOU goes to Khalmenace who became a new follower to my page this week, And to all the many others it means a lot to me for you to take the time out of your day to show love, it is much appreciated. Well, that's going to be all for this week so until next time fellow growers, and remember ... "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".
