The journey of Orange Sherbet Auto began with germination, completed after 111 hours. During the first two weeks, the seedling established itself and entered vegetative growth as lighting intensity increased from 10 to 20 mol/m²/day.
By week three, the DLI reached 30 mol/m²/day. Topping was performed on day 17, followed by initial low-stress training (LST) and defoliation.
During weeks four and five, lighting increased to 40 mol/m²/day. Further LST and selective defoliation followed on days 22, 24, 30, 32, and 34.
Between weeks six and eight, the maximum DLI of 45 mol/m²/day was reached. Canopy management continued with LST, defoliation, and supercropping on days 39, 40, and 44, followed by final adjustments on day 56.
During flowering, additional LST took place on days 58 and 71, followed by defoliation and top-dressing on day 73. A partial harvest on day 87 yielded 44 g of wet-trimmed flower.
A second partial harvest was done, the remaining lower sections continued to mature. Flushing began on day 92, with the final harvest completed on day 103.
