Howdy, as requested by some fellow followers and growers, I took more media this time, to show the situation better. Photos have been taken in order to show the plant overall, the details of the cola and related tricomes and then there is a 4K video to better see it. I hope that you can like it ^^ Plant kept the same height: 50cm = 20 inches Temperatures were warm, most of the week above +30° (86F), air was dry and sun was strong. Plant got water early in the morning and in the evening after the sun. Please provide a feedback about the maturation of the plant, this should be the 5th completed flowering week. I am still struggling to understand why this year all the plants sucked so much in size, even comparing with other autos I grew Last time that I grew a Sticky Orange Auto was my best asset, it came 78cm tall out of clay pot slightly larger than this year, producing 280g fresh and 58g net dry weight. PS: Why there is no audio in my videos? They are taken with mobile and compressed with DivX converter into mkv pro. The only big change that I did this year was to follow this advice from YouTube, they explained since auto-flowering plants have a very short living cycle, to avoid the trauma of transplantation, was better to put the cracked seed directly into the soil of the final growing pot. So I did, because it sounded smart, but results still show a worsening compared to previous years.

Dli around 45 She’s stretching hard and starts to purple slowly . Will follow up with more later

Cherry A causing me all sorts of issues. She's falling on top of Cherry B. And in turn, Cherry B is hitting into my other plants (Grandpa Stash). Also noticed what looks like pollen sacs on day 78.

Fast Buds Mexican Airlines Auto Left Rear This is the shortest of the four plants. It’s got a lot of tops and starting to bud. The leaves at the top are starting to sparkle and it’s very sticky. I tried to get it in the photo, maybe zoom in to see the sparkle. I haven’t been able to trim much because of the bigger plants around it but it seems to be doing well.

Flowering going very well, ph-6,5 ec 1,4 salt 0,04% at runoff . Everyday 3 to 4 feedings with Canna around 1,5 liter per day.

Next two weeks is when she packs a punch, terp profile of fuzzy peaches for days

All good this week

Started my new grow because i was selected to join the giveaway by royalqueenseeds & got a bunch of freebies! Hope the grow goes well!

Only sprayed twice during the cycle. I added natural predators to do the work. This time i did some Neem Oil through foliar spray

Put all the plants into 4 ltr pots. And there all filling out. Barney's farm are in the middle. Light is now at 30000 lux

Exciting first few days setting up everything in and around the propagator. I think I'll start counting the vegging days when the seedlings are 7-10 days old.

End of Week 7 CO2 is definitely increasing growth rates but also changes the game with controlling your environment now that it has to be sealed in order to not waste CO2 unnecessarily. You change one thing and it adds many other variables to keep everything in check. I am learning everyday and that's why I grow. The trellis net is doing its job and the canopy is looking nice and even. I also added a soil top-up and top dress of some BioBloom and Mycorhizae so it can start breaking down before I flip to flower next week (Slow release dry organic amendments). And the ladies are using up nutrients in the soil much faster because of the added CO2 (another variable to take into consideration - faster growth = faster nutrient consumption) In detail: -Carefully removed trellis netting -Ammended each plant individually with my soil mixture and nutrients -Placed them back in the tent -Reinstalled trellis netting and trained the ladies to shape Pest Report: Thrips VS Ladybugs... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. I did not spray any insecticide this week and it really seems like the ladies are happy with my new method of bio-warfare and are wilting less and less often

Plants at the back look very green and overfed so I dropped the Ec a little, Had to defoliate again to try combat the high humidity, hoping it drops a bit, probably stunted the growth a little but hoping I didnt stress them too bad, My lights are max height so hoping they stop growing vertically, they got a little taller this week and some leaves are getting bleached.

7/24 Leaves beginning to yellow off. Girls making final push. Still waiting on stigma's to brown completely and turn in. No nutrients. Just water @ 6.5 pH

😉

5th week of flower everything still looking good. Nugs getting bigger. 9/8 Middle of week 5 some of the buds are starting to flower and just thc everywhere. Will have plenty of trimmings for concentrates. Still wondering about the yield??? But see a little burn on edges of leaves. Probably go water only anyway cause still have organic toil soils working. Smells so good!! Last day of week 5 looks amazing so much THC everywhere. Looking forward to them fattening up in next week or two.

Day 43 - Starting week 7 and she’s looking good. She’s starting to stretch more every day and flowers are starting to fatten up a bit. Gonna continue with the foxfarm feeding schedule. Can’t wait for her to finish! Day 44 - The room is really starting to smell amazing. Just keeping on with the foxfarm nute schedule until she’s ready to be cut in a couple more weeks. Still plenty of fattening and growing to go. Day 45 - No major changes, she’s just chugging along. Gave a feeding of just water today and tomorrow will be the foxfarm feeding. I love her look and the smell starting to really come from her. Day 46 - No major changes, just continuing to fatten, grow and definitely getting really frosty! Day 47 - What can I say? This thing is an amazing grow and smelling amazing. She just growing and fattening each day. Still to early to really look at the trichs but wanted to look anyway. Got a few decent pics and there’s a few cloudy ones in there. Gave her straight pH’d water today and tomorrow and will give another feeding on Saturday. Day 48 - No big changes, just continuing to fatten up. Held off on watering today, she didn’t really drink munch compared to the GC. Will give her an actual “feeding” tomorrow. Day 49 - All is looking good and she’s plumping up each day. Gave her the foxfarm feeding today. Tomorrow starts week 8 so will continue with the feeding schedule until the end. She’s really starting to smell up the room in my house and loving it.
