Week 5, Day 35 and the Original Sensible Seeds Auto Skunk are moving into flower. The tallest plant is now 26" and the shorter one’s are 16-18". I gave them a micro shot of Flora Nova grow 1-part liquid fertilizer and they responded almost immediately! The large fan leaves on the tallest plant are up as if she’s praying and the shorter one’s appear revitalized and thriving! I followed the General Hydroponics guide for the early growth stage which recommends 1.5 mls/litre. I’m using 4 litre jugs so that’s 5 mls/gallon- way too much for tiny autoflowers like these. I quarter the dose for the initial feeding (1.25 mls/gallon) and then continue to feed at half strength for the remainder of the grow (2.5 mls/gallon). It seems like an insignificant amount of fertilizer but a little goes a long way with a small autoflowering strain such as these. Still watering every 4th day and it’s 2.8-3 litres each time. So far, so good! Until next week, cheers! 😺
@Philindicus, hoping you are healthy and happy! I love Gaia Green but with a quick strain such as this one- I need almost instant results. General Hydroponics Flora Nova Grow and Bloom 1-part liquid nutes have been my ride or die for years now. They are relatively cheap, easy to find and extremely effective. I realize that they are not organic and probably not great for the environment but I have used them for years with my outdoor summer grows.
@DoDrugs420, not so much when they develop male/hermie parts and you end up with a harvest transitioning to seed :(
Perhaps this would have been a great strain had the genetics been better!
So I have a relatively similar grow. Using the same floranova grow/bloom, soil, watering at a PH of 6.0 and same size pot. I feel like I'm having some issues with the plants though. The PH runoff was 5.5/5.4 and Ive been watering religiously at 6.0. Did you experience any PH issues with soil and water at 6.0? After looking at the amount you used, I can tell mine are over fed too. Should I give them a week break on the feeds?
