In for the cure. May have dried a bit too quick. Most buds look good. Some are a little airy but overall happy. 73 grams

HokieHigh2011 Looks good!
cookredeyed Thanks!!! I’m just starting to smoke her and I’m liking. Wish there was more smell but smokes great and buds are really pretty with a lot of purple!

I had to separate branches. I’m afraid the airflow isn’t good enough. I fear mouldy buds

HokieHigh2011 If you have them in the tent with exhaust running it will be fine. Maybe add a house or box fan just blowing air into the bottom vent if you need a little more
cookredeyed Thanks!! I prob would have been fine. I have exhaust fan going and 2 small fans moving air around. I separated them though anyway. I got paranoid! Lol!

I gave her the forever cut today. This has been the best auto I have grown. Super fun. I didn’t trim all leaves off but a lot of them. I’m drying whole plant and wanted sufficient air flow. I don’t have a humidifier in tent due to it being in veg tent. So I have filled a pot of water and have one of the tent’s fans blowing on it. I think it’ll be ok. Nice buds. Sticky. And surprisingly purple!

Still some clear trichomes but I think I’m going to chop Monday. Maybe tomorrow idk. Some amber mostly milky. I feel like the tops of the buds are drying out and I think she may be close enough to choppy-chop! See how I feel tomorrow about it.

Just got back after 4 days away. Plant looks great. I was nervous!! Some amber in trichomes, most are milky. I’ll keep watch. Looks like leaves are starting to turn yellow. I imagine leaves will turn fast since cutting off all nutrients. I’m looking forward to chopping.

Today was my final feed. Gave a light water so I can feed before I leave and my friend “plant sits” for about 4 days. Trying to make it as easy as possible for her. I’ll water on Thursday and hopefully she’ll only have to water 1x during my absence. 🙏 I’m a bit nervous. First time I grew this strain, it was done at 90 days. I think it’ll finish sooner than this, but IDK. Looks like she is getting close. I see no fade in the leaves yet (I’m wondering if this could be from the nutrients I’ve been giving. Is there always a fade? Guess I’ll find out; going to let the trichomes tell me!

Fed CM/A+B/flex. Prob last feeding. Thou I haven’t seen any fade in leaves at all. Buds are getting pretty dense.buds don’t look like they are getting any taller but are getting thicker and more dense. 90% of pistols are brown and very few white remain.

Fed. Si/cm/a+b/flex/mol. Buds look really nice. A lot of purple (my previous runs of this strain has ZERO purple, of the 4 seeds each was wildly different). Breeders website says 9 weeks which I’m approaching tho these gals still have a little ways to go. I may still give another feeding before switching to straight water.

TrpX Beautiful!
cookredeyed Thanks!! I’m getting anxious to chop!
TrpX Man, I’m anxious for you! Lol… it’s my first grow, and at 22 days veg I’m just starting to get a scent. Learning a lot. Hope my fruit looks as good. Looks yummy!

I think I’m going to feed one more time (probably tomorrow or Thursday, the pot is still a little heavy) and cut out the nutrients and just give ph’d water. Watching trichomes now. Close ups are from random spots, upper and lower parts of different buds.

Buds have a little purple in them! Plant is really developing fast. I cut a few of the browning leaves off the bottom and tightened the lst ties to try to open her up for better airflow. I have 2 little fans blowing on her one from above and one from below.

She is looking good. Whatever was going on w the leaves doesn’t seem to be spreading. The bad leaves I wound up cutting off; all lower leaves. Some were pretty bad. Buds are sticky and seem to be getting tighter. I hope they’ll start packing in weight soon.

I flushed w ph water today. Discolouration doesn’t seem to be spreading. I’ve been watching. A few sus leaves but I don’t really see anything. Idk if I should cut the leaves that are a little crusty off or not. I’m going to wait for now and prob cut them if the leaves die. Overall seem healthy and the buds are getting really tall and big! Starting to get excited about her. I hope I didn’t hurt her too much

Leland3471 Seems like it’s just the older fan leaves starting to fade. I’d just snip them off and keep cruisen till the end.
cookredeyed Thanks. I think I’m thinking of doing that!!
cookredeyed Runoff ph was 6.5

Watered yesterday. Si/CM/a+b/flex. After returning from 3 days away several of the leaves have brown spots (some crunchy). Manganese deficiency? Idk. Gonna ride it out w out changing much. Last watering was just water no food so???
a year ago
BINAII Wait…you didn’t water that pot in 3 days during flower? That’s the same as putting liquid nutrients in the soil without diluting it first. Soils wasn’t moist enough and whatever salts that could be taken up were too concentrated so that’s what happened to this leaves.
BINAII Looks like a 5 gallon pot
cookredeyed Ya. The last time I watered was last friday. Ph water only. I watered again today w nutes. It’s a 3 gal pot. Pot was dry but they didn’t seem overly thirsty, no limp leaves or anything just the discoloured lower leaves.

cookredeyed Didn’t even f’n realise my timer isn’t on! She has been getting 24hrs of light!
tbtbtb22 What light schedule do you run? In my opinion the 24 on is best for autos
cookredeyed I usually do 18/6

Tied her down a little more today. I also cut off one of the sun leaves that was blocking a lot of the bud sites. Tried to tuck it under others but no matter where I tucked it it still blocked buds. I stand by my decision! Soil still moist.

saviibaby Don’t feel dumb! That’s part of learning how to grow! Sometimes it’s different for each cultivar. She looks healthy and happy now!
cookredeyed Thanks for feedback! I just feel I’ve been doing this long enough to know! lol! Side note: I tried posting the update on my gal like 4 times and never does it show up on my journal entries. I can only see it when I click on the notification for your comment. Other than that I can’t find any of my updates from today! It’s so weird.
cookredeyed This app is postin my updates out of order! Just found and deleted the repeated posts! I’m new to this app. I like it but it’s frustrating sometimes

She has been pretty droopy last few days. Thoughts: a.) overwatering. b.) overfeeding. c.) combo of a & b
2 years ago
saviibaby I would guess over or under watering, personally. I don’t see signs of clawing or burned tips so I wouldn’t guess over feeding. Troubleshooting these babies can be so subjective. How much are you watering and how often? If you aren’t watering in a schedule are you doing it based off of weight of the feel of the soil or something?
saviibaby She looks a little upset, but still overall healthy. She didn’t just wake up did she? Or is it right before lights out? They tend to look droopy right before it’s time for bed or right after they wake up. That would only be a temporary thing though and not something that would go on for days unless maybe you’re always looking at her at the same time
cookredeyed She is def a little upset. I water about ¾ of a gallon. I stopped once I saw some runoff. I also did some LST right before I watered. Since LST she has looked like this (maybe 2 days)

Seems like a lot of growth has happened in last day. I fed DRIP for first time at 4ml/gal ratio. Gave a liberal watering with the idea a lot of water would spill out side of pot, which it did. VERY curious to see if there is a visual result from the 1st Feeding

Caliban With dry soil I often add a few drops of coconut oil or organic liquid soap. It helps the water coat and deep better into the dryer layers Instead of channeling it out the sides.
Caliban And seep

Idk when I’ll start feeding but it will probably be pretty soon. It seems to be doing very healthy and the leaves are good and strong.  i’ll keep in the 3 x 3 tent until it starts to outgrow the photos. Temperatures are running a little high in the tent.

Put seed into her forever home. 3 gallon fabric pot with Sunshine Promix 4 soil. Soil looks very nice but it took a wile for water to absorb into it vs just running off. I’m hoping this auto will thrive. My last several autos have done shit. Stunted as a MF. I DO NOT plan to transplant OR train. I do not want to stunt through growth.
