Day 42, start of flowering week 3: they are growing nicely, had to do a lot of defoliation on each plant, except the one in the 3L pot. Day 43, I started to discover that the roots are coming out aggressively from the bottom of the pot. I did not move the ones in the back, but I guess same thing. The one in the 3L pot doesn't have this problem. Day 45: getting really excited for these guys! I'm trying to keep the temp and humidity low, and I hope I can achieve some of the purple color :P any advice on that? day46: defoliaton

PE will be harvested this week, super excited! Trichomes are just about where I want them, just waiting on a little more amber. PT is chugging along, looking like she’s going to have some larger buds this time! WW is still mostly white in her pistils, she will take longer than PE to finish up. WW in the small tent is looking fantastic, she’s ScrOGed and has been teaching towards the light a bit. Hoping for a big yield off this plant. BW is still small but she looks like she’s getting nice trichome development. Should be harvesting almost weekly, super excited to see how much I get from this entire grow. Check individual diaries for more specifics on each plant! Happy growing! 👩‍🌾🏼🌱

22cm vertical growth this week! Definitely entered flowering.

Transplanted into larger containers with fresh soil. The soil is a blend of Peat Moss one Perlite. I then mixed some older soil with the new Peat/Perlite blend. After the transplant I watered with Recharge to help get some healthy microbes starting to develop in the soil. Since she was stretched out a little I tried burying her a little deep during the transplant. I'm hoping to see some nice improvements over the next few weeks. Stay tuned...

You can see the nice healthy colour from the Seaweed foliar spray last week, Will keep that up bi weekly until first flower. Another 12 gal of water for each plant this week as there seems to be no end to this drought. Added blood and bone meal to keep the plant going well into the end of august. And the weekly Silica Foliar spray. https://www.homehardware.ca/en/10kg-4-10-0-bone-meal-fertilizer/p/5025590?page=search-results%20page https://www.homehardware.ca/en/12kg-blood-meal-fertilizer/p/5025554

Some early signs of stress, hope it's just my over feeding. This plant wants to be bushy, wish I had more room for it, it grows so quick! Already have friends asking how is this thing so fast (:

After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

LST is a good advice on these (like on any other automatics) to get several strong branches.

Humidity a bit hight??? Bud rot, been checking very closelym Water stressing, packing on the resin

Week 3 Running light at 40% Viparspectra DWC water system working normally Increased nutrient intake as week 1 Humidity lowered to 40%

22 days since my little girl sprouted from a seed🌱 Third week of growth for my Purplematic CBD Auto ⚕️💚💜 Nutrients: Plagron Alga Bloom is an organic flower fertilizer for growing in soil.

Suitable for all types of substrates and crop types. For use in growth and flowering. 💩🍋🌱 ------------------------------------------------------- PRO-MIX CONNECT MYCORRHIZAL POWDER - in the substrate General: Purplematic CBD Auto ⚕️💚💜 The plant is already strongly transitioning to flowering, beautiful white pistils are forming on the tops 🌺 Above I listed the nutrients I switched to during this period. Anyway, I stick to organics, except for the bloom booster, which is about half organic. This week - the third week - in most cases, she does LST and defoliation twice 🍃 🌿 The girl has very curled leaves down, they practically grow like that. I have no idea how it could have happened. She is not even overwatered, there are no problems with nitrogen and I measure the ph and ec regularly and she is fine. All the other girls in the tent look good, only this one is like that 😢💚💜. It looks like there will not be much of a harvest, probably unstable seed, that happens. But I am sorry because I use pure CBD to make tinctures. I use the new PH and EC meter Aqua Master Tools P110 PRO, the measurement is fast and accurate. So far I have managed to keep the PH and EC as they should be. I use Biobizz Bio +/- to correct. These are excellent products. I think that the plants are definitely very well affected by the spraying of the Vita-Race preparation and the excellent PRO-MIX Connect Mycorrhizal powder to support the roots. All the girls are very strong and stable since they were little 💚 Training: As I mentioned above, I did the first LST and defoliation, the plants usually quickly re-leaf, other branches will grow quickly. So in this third week I do two defoliations and two LSTs 🍃🌿 🌺 But I didn't cut this plant much, it doesn't have many leaves and I need it to go well for photo shoots The girls grow in a tent: Mammoth Pro+ 80, with reinforced reflective Mylar 600D foil Lighting: Mars Hydro TS1000, this light is sufficient for lighting in my growing space. The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up.

Week 3 Great Pistil growth looking forward to day 21 defoliation This one looks really good love the stretch it’s not getting to lanky I’m seeing really fast growth The New. Check out my other Dairies (Gelato Cake& Jungle Verde) Nutrients (floraflex) are in Grams/gal* Light: HLG Follow my IG @therealterpio for more updates & content!

She looks very healthy and strong, maybe a little bit small for 22 days old but it's okey,she's a happy wonderful lady,let's hope she can get a big enough size with the preflower stretching.

As an Auto she has been the most finicky plant ive ever grown. EXPERIENCED GROWERS ONLY!!!!

Tag 90: Da die Runtz nun schon deutlich weniger Wasser benötigt und auch schon viele braune Stempel/Stigmen hat, habe ich mich kurzfristig dazu entschlossen schon jetzt keinen Dünger mehr zu geben.

:) Day 88: took some buds from her today actually! I have no smoke 😆 but she tasted decent even from a microwave fast dry, not even a little bit of hay just like weed with some undertones. Very wei😂😂😂😂

Grow well... C° very hot ....... After 4 day .. ppm to 920ppm ...add pk no N
