Week Fourteen and Week One of flower... With fourteen weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Dutch Passion Auto Glueberry OG is on a pace to become a massive plant! With almost 100 days of veg time before she was flipped to 12/12 she's got a root system that can make some exceptional flowers! The gears are shifted now and my girl's flowering! 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.
5/31- Here we go growmie's, she's on 12/12 now and I have both HLG 650R's on her. I setup the lights at a 45deg. angle on either side of her (providing awesome top AND side lighting!) at a distance of approximately 30", and have them pulling 400w/each at the wall for a total of 800w of light currently.
She's been getting watered and/or fed 1.5g every other day as I noticed that the tips of a few of her lowest shade leaves were starting to 'claw' under and I've been paying extra attention to not overwater her and risk drowning her roots and creating an anaerobic condition in the medium which would be devastating at this point.
I gave her 1.5g of de-chlorinated water with Botanicare CalMag+ added @ 3ml/g and Botanicare Silica Blast @ 2.5ml/g and Fox Farms Big Bloom @ 15ml/g which was then ph'd to 6.2 @ 68℉.
I also turned her pot 1/4 turn and removed ✂️ a dozen or so leaves that were interfering with light penetration and couldn't be tucked out of the way.
She's in her stretch and is putting out new growth at a rapid rate, so rapid in fact that it's difficult to keep up with her! It constantly feels like she's right on the verge of getting away from me with her phenomenal vigor! 🤪
6/2- At lights on tonight I watered her with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water to which I added 2 tsp/g of Fox Farms Root Drench and 2 tsp/g of Fox Farms Sledgehammer. After watering I turned her pot 1/4 turn and gave her a good looking over.
She still needs (imho) some thinning out, especially in her center where she's choked with vegetation. I'll probably dip into her tomorrow night and do one last pruning while she's still in pre-flower and starting her stretch.
My girl is looking phenomenal with the exception of a few of her lower leaves that are 'clawing' under. The rest of her looks healthy as hell so, for now, I'll monitor her and see if it resolves or worsens.
6/4- When I checked her pot at lights on today it still was fairly heavy so I let her ride on watering today and I'll water/feed her tomorrow evening.
Yesterday was a 'dry day' as well and all I did was to go in yet again and, branch by branch, removed any unnecessary leaves and shoots that weren't in the upper two-thirds of the plant. I then removed any small 'suckers' on the stalks up to the 4th to 5th nodes leaving the shade leaves. This major defoliation was really needed as she was choking herself out. Now, all of her energy will be going into the tops of her branches and will make for some large flowers....hopefully! 🤞🏼
6/6- Yesterday, she was watered/fed with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms: Kelp Me Kelp You @ 0.5 tsp/g, Grow Big @ 1 tsp/g, Big Bloom @ 1 tbsp/g and Beastie Bloomz @ 0.25 tsp/g added an then ph'd to 6.5 @ 71℉
Today all I did was tuck a few leaves and give her pot 1/4 turn.
~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 this former 'Auto' gets ready to go crazy... 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 🌟👍
