Big healthy plant for the most part, but the flowering just won’t kick in! This is the week that says she’s running behind or that she’s going to be on a cocaine diet till the end? Need some bulk, it’s week 8 already. I don’t like my girls fast anyways, so I’ll be a patient gent. Day 51: Early AM: It seems that the flowers are starting to fatten up at a familiar rate now. Stretch is definitely over to boot. Feels like a week or so behind my other Auto grows, but I am gathering from the peeps on GD that grow times can be all over the place with Autos; even with seeds front the same plant. I won't be a Debbie-downer, but I cant help but think what this thing would have done in a bigger space. I left her alone a couple days ago as her stretch slowed noticeably. A pluck here and there moving forward, but that's about it for the sadistic stuff. Day 51: Late Afternoon: She's about to take off in the flower it feels. 6 hours passed, and I was like "oh, hello there!" If nothing goes too crazy, I'm hoping she'll be a good one regardless of her 3.8 sf living quarters. I never did move the top shelf, so the light is less than 8 inches from the canopy. I'll keep an eye on the "crispy effect" out of complete laziness and fear of dropping the light on the plant! Tallest branches are around the perimeter and still hitting their DLI. The center/down the plant is getting blasted by the light, so I suspect about 6 or so runners to hit the canopy and hang out with the FIM family in the next week or so? Day 51: Evening: Bigger bucket = bigger plant in hydro? One heck of a root mass going on in her trough. I tried pushing the roots to the back of the bucket so I could ph without getting roots directly. Nope! That bucket is filled with roots, and its an 8 gallon bucket. I would have never thought an auto would have enough time to grow into an 8 gallon bucket. I was banking on some extra nutrient volume, so I could go out of town for 4-5 days. Hard to say on bucket size though, I have grown 10 foot tomato monsters in 3 gallon Ebb/Flow pots so maybe she would have grown the same in a 5 gallon bucket? I don't think that much root volume could grown in an 5 gallon bucket, so bigger bucket = bigger plant here? Things that make you go "hmmm..." Day 53: A lot of undesirable undergrowth that blew up during stretch. Like a ton of it, but I’m done messing with her. Took out the top shelf and reconfigured exhaust. What a pain. I didn’t drop the light but the IP cam took a nose dive on a branch. Now the light is about 12-14” from canary instead of 6-8'. She started to get some light burn so I had to do the deed. Wider IP camera view with added distance so that's a plus! Plant is very happy at 550-575ppm. 600ppm seems to be the number without burning plants? Humidity, temp, and ppm AND light distance in check. Raising the light opened the focal point of this light quite a bit; especially in the center where the PPFD was over 2500 at the center and light less than 8 inches from the canopy. Feeling good. All is in check with some room to grow. She will gain another 2" in height I presume through flower. Day 54: The jury is out of this light. I hits my dli from veg to harvest with it's fixed position design, but wondering if 50watts more would have been the number. I'm going to keep the light in there to keep the data flow congruent to its original design. I hit my DLI right now from the top of the canopy to about 10-12" down the plant. Lighter specs from my last grow, but its hard to tell what is getting what once you leave top of the canopy. Hopefully it will suffice! I moved the light a few inches closer as my DLI was getting light in some of the corners/perimeter. She right 10-11" and is about as good as she is going to get given150watts. I am realizing that 200 watt is probably the optimized wattage here if some canopy penetration is desired, but light these dimensions are not plentiful[. 250 watt and that would be max with managing heat and exhaust sound levels. 250 watt would accommodate a fix state design no problem. I hate to change the light variable but I only have the luxury of one-at-a-time grows, so everything counts on some levels. Been using the PAR meter on and off throughout the day. Penetration needs to be about 25% stronger. Its a perfect light for your average auto grow, but if these results repeat themselves a 250 watt is probably in order. I am making the executive decision to install a 250 watt bar light. I found one with a small footprint at 240watts. Hard find, specs are more than adequate for 4 sf. Will maybe get down a bit deeper but things are looking really crammed with the bottom half. It is PACKED with bud sites and likely not enough light. Questioning the light change, but will definitly thin some lower stuff and "officially" let her be. Since in bumped up the CalMag to about 1.5 ml/gal the reservoir has been running ph equilibrium for 6 days now at 600ppm. I’m guessing this deficiency was driving down ph instead of the usual up/equilibrium in week 7. My first auto to eat at 600ppm for a week with no tip burn. She looks fit, I’ll keep her diet here as the max. I have never cut MicroGro out completely in a grow before. I have been faithful to GH 7 part series since for long time. This grow I took the GH feeding chart and worked backwards to a ppm level I found on the web to be an acceptable range for Autos. These ratios have traditionally been acceptable and without issue. Beautiful plants every time. On the last two runs with this concocted feeding schedule Cal/Magic was very light until week 7, and exactly when I started to see rust spots, etc. in this grow. After a 2ml/gal dose of CaliMagic plus addbacks on watering, that issue disappeared overnight. I mean zero issues with any new or progressing growth. Here's the take away with this. Although CalMag issues are easy to spot and resolve, I did learn is that in both runs they HAD A PERSISTANT DROP IN PH IN MY RESERVOIR in late veg/tranistion. Another wards, if you PH is dropping and your ppm are not doing anything, it very well could be a CalMag deficiency. An indication know before the leaves start getting spotted, etc. I guess if one were perceptive enough, you could resolve this issue as it happens, and never see the effect on the leaves? On this current run, as soon as I dosed the bucket good with Cal/Mag and kept my add/backs a 1.5/ml/gal the PH locked in big. Going on 7 days at 600ppm, 6.0 and the ph is steadily rising. Maybe another bump in ppm. No sign of tip burn yet, why the heck not!:) Not really the expected progress this week but she may just need time. I don’t think she’ll really bulk up until the end of week 9 / week 10. New light to arrive Tuesday but not sure a stronger light will get much further down. It’s almost a roadblock to get beyond the main tops and they are getting well more than they can handle light wise. Bigger light may only mean more heat.

Hey guys, what's up? Here's an update on a new week of vegetative growth for this beautiful Strawberry Cola Sherbet from Sweet Seeds, which is developing quite well, although I had to interrupt fertilization due to a small root blockage, a mineral buildup because the pH meter has been miscalibrated for some strange reason and I had to water at least twice with an incorrect pH, which has caused the plant to be unable to absorb these minerals. I have already watered with distilled water, adjusting the pH to 6.0. I hope it will return to normal within a week and I will fertilize again gradually, as I expect it to bloom in 1 or 2 weeks. I will keep you updated and you will see the progress. A STRONG HUG FUMONES,💀😍

16/11/21: The plants are growing as they should have adjusted to light to 80% brightness and are at a height of 22 inches for next week. they were rolling at 18 inch height and 70& brightness for this week. defoliated some of the more dead and smaller leaves at the base of the plants. topped all of the plants which will affect height but will hopefully bring a greater yield. plants are doing well - around 18 inch in height on avergage with the bottom far left coming in at 24 inches alone.

PH ziemi się stabilizuje i to dobra wiadomość:-). Niestety to automaty i pewnie rzeczy są już nie do odrobienia. Prawdopodobnie za szybko były podlewane, trzeba poczekać aż ziemia przeschnie dokładnie. Przy następnej uprawie zwrócę na t6o szczególna uwagę. Jeden Chemdogging wygląda dobrze jeśli chodzi o wielkość rozłożenie, reszta słabo

So everything took off in flower, I was super harsh with the defoliating which initially I regretted, but was surprised with how they packed out during the following weeks. In general it's impressive how hardy these plants are. Even the outdoor grows yielded some quality. Add some more nuets (overdrive and carbo load), before flushing about 14 days before harvest, next time I'll do this earlier and really the Runtz could have gone another week but my drying needs to happen in the same space as my growing for now. Apologies for the quality of image, I'm just using my phone and some bits I have to document, I collect records too, so expect weird noises lol. Build a rotating plat from a lazt susan I found, has been the best piece of kit added this season.

Hey Canna Fam, So day 72 of 12/12 and I harvested my Plat. GSC and she was looking amazing. Buds are dense dense DENSE and sparkling with trichomes. I harvested the tops and will leave the lower canopy to mature for another week or 10 days. Hope you enjoy the update and keep posted for dried and trimmed buds.✌️🏼

Las niñas siguen su ciclo de vida. Veo que van muy poco avanzadas para llevar ya dos semanas a 12/12 (no sé si por poca luz o algunos errores que cometí) Le eché el estimulador de floración demasiado tarde por interpretar mal la tabla de nutrición, mejor dicho por no seguir la correcta. Estuvo varios días muy cerca de la luz con lo que se pudieron estresar. Le estoy temiendo a la altura, ya que han estirado más de lo que preví en principio, quedándome muy poco margen de error. A unas malas tendré que ingeniármelas doblándolas hacía abajo o algo. El punto positivo es que estoy controlando mejor la humedad. A pesar de todo seguiré dando lo mejor para que salga lo mejor posible 💪🏼

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Not a whole lot is happening this week, still having some PH issues in the medium, I believe this is from the microbial mass I added a while back. A microbe product, PH going into the medium is around 6.5-6.8 and coming out is between 5.5-5.8, so something is acidifying it up. Also noticed the runoff last week was a bit higher at times. So lowered the feed down quite a bit, going in at 1.4EC vs 1.8 will bump it up to 1.5 and 1.6 in the next few weeks. I also added in a bit of a PK booster. nothing to crazy only 60ppm worth on a total allowance of 700PPM Lights now running at 100% with V1 spectrum, decided to go with 100% now vs after stretch, will see how it works out. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

Just started flower, put the light a bit higher cause she was quite bushy and wanted her to stretch a little more Fed her with the veg nutes one last time She's looking absolutely ready Defoliated and LST'ed again, should have done this in veg but she hadnt stretched enough yet
