Well here we go into Week Five of Veg! 👏😎 With Five weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Dutch Passion Auto Glueberry OG is doing great and she's still sprouting new growth everyday, what a BEAST! What an exceptional specimen of this strain she is shaping up to be! It'll be exciting to see her development as the coming weeks progress! Thank you for following along this journey with me because growing these beautiful cultivars is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy! 😎🙏
~Grown 100% organic in a 10g fabric pot with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g Down To Earth 4-4-4 - 2 cups/g Earthworm Castings - 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 2-8-4 and 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Bat Guano.
~24hr light cycle during germination / 19/5 light cycle for Veg & Flower
~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed, top dressed every 3-4 weeks and weekly Compost Tea's.
3/29- This is one BUSHY girl! Tomorrow I'm going to go in an do some defoliation on her to open her up...she's just clogged up with growth! She's a beast, can handle the stress and in less than a week you won't be able to tell I did anything!
Daily watering continues with 0.75g straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 200ppm 0.4 EC given to her first thing in the morning after the light comes on. Foliar feeding before lights out continues every other night.
3/31- Watered her this morning with 0.75g straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 200ppm 0.4 EC
I went ahead and also did a major defoliation on her today to get rid of the vegetation that was choking out the deeper/inner sections of her. After removing a ton of leaves the light now penetrates completely through her canopy's down to her medium....perfect! 😎👍
The HLG 650R is now pulling 450w at the wall and remains 38" above canopy. Temperatures, RH and VPD all are gtg and on point with 'daytime' temps at a constant 76 degrees @ 50% RH, dropping to 65 degrees during the dark period.
4/2- The Auto Glueberry OG fully bounced back from her defoliation 3 days ago and you really can't tell I did anything at all (I'm so leery about stripping autoflowers too much and this always happens to me 😜).
I'm letting her tell me what she needs now. I'm closely monitoring her, watering when she show signs of needing it (leaves JUST starting to droop) and nutrients (when her color JUST starts to be not as vibrant). Right now she is doing phenomenally and is STILL putting out new growth at a crazy pace!!
When I'm watering her it is with 0.75g straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 200ppm 0.4 EC and I'm watering her pot through the top, allowing time for the medium to slowly absorb it, avoiding any runoff.
I also placed the pot riser back under her to avoid the possibility of an anaerobic condition to develop from the bottom of the pot staying wet, which could cause all kinds of issues including Root Rot.
This weekend I will top dress her with 2 cups of Wiggle Worm Castings and then water it in with 0.75g straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 200ppm 0.4 EC.
I'll run an air pump with air stones in it to oxygenate the water which REALLY helps keep the environment in the medium aerobic, which both the roots and microbes LOVE!
When I water in the castings I'll add 2 tbsp. per gallon of Grandma's Unsulfured Molasses to the water which will supercharge the microbes!
4/4- I top dressed her with 2 cups of Wiggle Worm castings and watered it in with 0.50g straight de-chlorinated water to which I added 1/4 tsp/g of Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 400ppm 0.8 EC to really give the medium/microbes a huge boost which will result in one happy Glueberry OG!
This morning my girl looked absolutely VIBRANT with beautiful color and leaves all praying! She must have really enjoyed the PK boost from yesterday huh?! When I checked her medium was still fairly moist so I held off with the AM watering and will take a look at her this afternoon and see whether she wants a drink or not...she'll tell me!
Well it's really been a great week, the Auto Glueberry OG is STILL in veg and getting taller and bushier by the day (can't tell at all that I defoliated her 5 days ago)! Next week promises to be just as, if not more, exciting so stay tuned for all the action! 😍
~Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow my journey as things will be getting more exciting as the next weeks approach with the Auto Glueberry OG hopefully finishing her stretch and getting into some flowering!... Grow Strong! 😎🙏~
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, IKR! This is what happens when you have a 'Auto' that decides it would rather be a Photoperiod! I'm flipping her today after 95+ days of veg...Look out! 😜
i see all your lights are HLG. I love mine. Are they a presence on this site or is that all Instagram?
I figure u have to be doing something with them if you are all HLG!?
Was gonna rock a diablo but Viparspectra is hooking it up instead.... and u cant argue with free....
I just would like to promote HLG some tooooooo!
@TheCannaProphet, yeah i literally have a stack of free "beginner" lights i've recieved from this site, Vipar is hooking it up with a big boy light too b/c i told them i simply couldnt use another small light... but you def had me curious!
Both my germination and veg light are bought by me from HLG tho.
Did HLG hit u up on instagram or growdiaries?
They did give me a free shit at CannaCon lol I was in fanboy mode
Hello there! Your lady is looking beautiful and healthy, and only in a 10liter container?
Lovely big buds in the process, going to be cool to see those develops, all the best for this week 🌟👍
