Dutch Passion Power Plant Auto

Well here we go into Week Five of Veg! 👏😎 With Five weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Dutch Passion Auto Power Power Plant is doing great and sprouting new growth everyday. Her color is now on point, as is her growth. Thank you for following along this journey with me, 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 my girl 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 today to get rid of the vegetation that was choking out the deeper/inner sections of the plant. After removing a ton of leaves the light now penetrates completely through the canopy down to the 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 Dutch Passion Auto Power Plant has 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 😜) and she looks like I could get away with it again...crazy fast growth! 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 each 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 like she really enjoyed the PK boost from yesterday, was perky and had great color. 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! She has had a rough road, had her share of ups and downs and has been one of the more difficult strains for me to get 'dialed in'. She looks like she's overwatered but the upper 1/3 of her pot is barely moist, the middle 1/3 moist, and the bottom 1/3 wet. Thinking this was the case, I skipped a day of water which only made her look worse (all her leaves drooping bad, just really looking like crap). So... I figured what the hell do I have to lose, I'll either drown her or save her, so I watered her with about 1L of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 0.4 EC. Three hours later... I checked her and she was perked up and her appearance had a visually noticeable improvement to it! Now, knowing that she's a thirsty biatch, I gave her another 1L of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 degrees 0.4 EC and let her ride! Well it's really been a great week, the Auto Power Plant is showing her first signs of preflower and is still getting bushier by the day (can't tell at all that I defoliated her 5 days ago)! Hopefully I've got her semi-dialed in now... fingers crossed! 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 Power Plant going into flower!... Grow Strong! 😎🙏~
