Some of the leaves seem somewhat deformed. Certainly not the first time I have encountered this, especially in autos. Everything else going well so far.
Two of the plants have started flowering, the two at the back of the grow box are straggling behind a bit.
I have fertilized, using 2 tablespoons per pot of Gaia Green Power Bloom.
Would like to do some defoliation but have been cautioned not to do that with autoflowers.
I planted the seedlings 7 weeks ago today and two of the plants at least (front of photos) are entering week 3 of flowering. The plants in the back have not shown any significant flower development. One is twice the size of the others and has hit the vertical limit of my grow box.
The two plants at the front of the box are doing great, the challenge is the two at the back. They have not stayed in step with their sisters at the front. I order to trigger flowering on the back two I have changed the light schedule to 12 and 12. I have read that some autoflowers need that trigger, we will see.
The plant in the back right has outgrown its surroundings. Much more stretch and I will have to take drastic measures. A few of the branches are already tied down.
The two plants at the front of my Stealthbox are doing great. Buds are showing steady growth as they continue to mature. The jury is still out on the ladies at the back. The leaf structure is completely different from the plants at the front. Although they are showing bud development it has been slow. Plant stretch continues to be an issue, specifically with the plant in the back right.
A couple of the plants are getting close to harvest time, the other two will be a couple of weeks behind.
The smell that wafts from the box when you open the door is wonderful. Trichomes are starting to turn cloudy, no sign of any amber just yet.
I have noticed that water consumption is significantly less now. I have gone from watering every second day to every third day.
These girls appear to be nearing the end of their life cycle. Lots of leaf color change and water consumption has declined. At this point we are down to 2 cups per plant every third day.
I continue to check the trichomes on an almost daily basis. They are turning cloudy but so far no signs of any Amber.
The large plants at the back of the box are likely a couple of weeks behind those in the front.
I am looking at a staged harvest on these frosty girls. We will begin 48 hours of darkness tonight for the first two plants located at the front of the growbox. The two at the back were a couple of weeks slower to flower so they will continue to do their thing probably for another couple of weeks. I have been removing quite a few dead and dying leaves as the plants near the end of their life cycle.
I chopped one of the ladies a couple of days ago and she will now hang to dry for approximately a week before curing. The others will likely be another week or two yet.
