Yesterday I planted 5 seeds of Candy Dawg auto in a germination tray using all-purpose potting soil. They are now covered with cling film and are being kept warm. Prayers were said and thanks given for this, the first (serious attempt at an) indoor grow. The aim of this and subsequent grows is to grow high-quality organic indicas so I can make RSO to help my father who is extremely sick after mainstream medicine failed to rid his body of cancer. The video got cut off when the battery died - I just mentioned that flowering plants need their sleep as much as we do :-)). Day 4: 4/5 of the seedlings are above ground! I am making the most of my space by growing a quick batch of microgreens (sunflowers and peas) At the moment they are germinating in the large tray with the weights and bricks on it. It is really dry in there (35% RH) so I filled the tray with water in an attempt to increase the RH. If anything it has gone down not up!! Time for a new plan.

this diary is a week ahead. will get in back in line soon. day 0-7 to be as week 1 not including the germ week. This banner kept much shorter than its brother. its also in a slightly shallower tub of soil so this one is flowering a bit quicker than its counterpart too. to keep it at the same height as all my others ive raised it from the floor slightly and then put the screen over top to bend the top cola. buds forming nicely now. i said fuck it. full organic feed for you.! nutes then fresh water twice then nutes again. deinking now a litre every 3 days. hardy plant but a couple white spots on the leaves... slight calmag to give prob.. end of week 5 flowering up to day 35. week 6 as of 36--> ps if anyone has a spare grow tent that they could donate me that would help a brother out ;) day 40. adjusted to normal schedule

so its currently day 42 end of week 5 (start of week 6) but we are still currently in veg with no pistils or signs of flower little concerned i know she isnt male because the little pointy bits where the pistils for first sex signs come from are shaped with a point so i believe these are females? also the delay in flower maybe genetics or just down to the stress from lst and topping and constant defol im having to do as she is a fast grower cant keep the shoots of her mainlines, so this maybe the key factor here however due to my tent size etc im considering switching lighting to 12/12 to force flower but no this will impact yield for auto. so my dilemma is wait another week to 10 days taking her into 7.5 weeks veg hoping she flowers in between or before then or flip her into flower myself with bloom nuits and light change with as little stress as poss by adding extra shade hours to the start of her night cycle 🙏

So we started feeding them. just some organic growth by BAC and some Calmag. Mostly around the sides of the pots to encourage the roots and start the Microlife overall. We have used nice lukewarm water and added some sugar sirop to activate all the wee beasties. The growth last week was phenomenal although one is going faster than the other. For this reason I changed them around, should climate on that spot have anything to do with that. Now we are looking at other XL runts diaries, to learn from the best performers and copycat their methods to maximize yields with this setup. We will decide if we will just LST them or give them a top... Have to be quick tho, these ladies will flower soon... Thank you for checking my grow, hope you are successful on yours and Il be checking you out in coming days as I have a little more time. Big hug as always and see you next week!

day 35. feb 19- been slow to update, scrog was plonked on top of plant as it showed signs of height becoming a ptoblem given the other 3 plants. seems to have stalled a bit this week after application of screen but after 4 days she seems to be back in business allbeit slow in comparison to my bubblegum which was started at the same time(see other post). nutrient wise im trying to follow the bio canna schedule which is designed more for soil than my special mix which i added a BIT of soil to, as such it likes to drink a litre seemingly every 4 days. contin7ing to interchange nutes with fresh water but also not wanting to flush too much of the goidness out. 1l of nutes then ill follow with 300 and 300 ml of fresh ph'd water. also given the fact the organic nutes ph themselves in my mixing jug, im wondering what happens when i pour acid ph-downed water to my pot.. wonder whether it better to just give pure distilled at ph 7 than take water from 7.8 to 6.2 using acid to then feed the plants. *shrug*.

This week I started feeding them, just some organic BAC Grow and Calmag 2.0 and added some molasses for feeding the micro-life. I put the SP-3000 a little stronger until leaves started to pray a little. Keeping the humidity and temps in the ideal zone. I see the plants really enjoy this and I was growing a bit on the dry side with my other grows. I'm looking at my options for fimming or topping auto's, my experience is, don't mess with them too much. This is also why I chose to not over-pot them. They started in a cup of seedling soil surrounded by super soil. They have been growing though and are going faster by the day now. Coming days I will make the decision to top / fim or just LST only... Thank you for checking me out again. Hug Bud

La primera semana a ido bien, destacar que la próxima vez, estresaré lo mínimo posible a las plantas, ya que si quieres una cosecha rápida y saludable lo mejor creo es no estresar a las plantas, nada de los stress ni mierdas, dejarla desarrollar como si estuviera solita. 📅 Día 8: 🔹Pulverizo las hojas con Rootbastic de Atami a 0,15 ml/litro. 🔹Aparición primeras preflores. 📅 Día 9:🔹 Última pulverización con Acti Vera y Alg-A-Mic a 1 ml/litro respectivamente. A partir del día 11 no se le aplicarán más abonos vía foliar para controlar la humedad en el cuarto de cultivo y así evitar que se disparen estos niveles de humedad. 📅 Día 10🔹Última pulverización con Special THC PLUS. 📅 Día 11🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes y bajo la dosis de agua ya que me he pasado con el riego. Aplico 350ml e iré subiendo cuando note que no dura 24h mojado. 🔹Cambio los platos de las macetas por una bandeja de 80 x 80para así poder hacer un mejor riego y no molestar a las plantas, ha entrado justa. La pongo sobre una mesa de metal de 60 x 60 cm. 📅Día 12:🔹 Low Stress 📅 Día 13:🔹Riego según la tabla de abonos BioBizz. 📅 Día 14:🔹 Conecto el CO2 a 630 ppm para ver si estiran un poco más.
