Keep up the good work dude. All the best for Xmas and have a great new year.

Are you named Chappie after my favourite Robot? South African Gangsta #1

Thanks, merry Christmas and happy new year! You betcha lol, one of my fav movies

 

[Bizz Beachbum]

Haha - I had hoped you were named after him. I've got a serious crush on Yolandi Vi$$er, gonna name one of my new plants after her.

Which leads me to my Xmas present which arrived today

USB Portable Microscope OTG Function 8LED Digital Zoom Magnifier with Holder True 5.0MP Video Camera 1X-500X Magnification 0-3cm Focus

The thing looks amazing - and I'm so impressed with the results, see for yourself.

Impressive pictures, quality is great! And 500x zoom?! That's insane

 

[Bizz Beachbum]

Not sure under which conditions you can achieve 500x zoom, I'll play around with it today and see how close in I can get.

Day 26:

Today the girls got watered, regular tap water with 1oz liquid seaweed and 5tsp big bloom ph. at 6.7. About 2 liters to each. Only a couple plants have some sort of slight burn that I noticed but I'm not sure if its from the nutes splashing on the leaves from when I water or actual nute burn? any suggestions? Ill try to get some close up pics of the plants.
They seem to be getting pretty bushy and are growing nicely. I think I see some pistils starting to show today but then again maybe I'm just seeing things.
For some reason I still cant figure out why I can only upload 2 pics at a time when on the computer. On my phone it will let me upload more than 2. Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? lol
I will try to get the rest of the photos up a little later.

Day 29:

Temps are between 70-77 and R.H. is between 30-34. All 5 look to be doing good still, fingers crossed. They are getting so bushy that I'm not sure what more I can do with the lst.

The girls got fed today. 3tsp big bloom, 1.5 tsp grow big, 5ml cal-mag, 1oz liquid seaweed, and 1/2 tsp recharge per gallon of water. x3 gallons split between the 5. A little more than a half gallon to each. p.h.-6.4-6.6 and ppm-1764,1902,1810. The ppm of the last feed was 1400 and they didn't burn so I'm going to raise it a little this time around.

I also tightened the lst up a bit and did some leaf tucking. The pictures are from about 10 hours after they have been fed.

Doing great. You can always make the plant stretch a bit it will make the LST easier to do and maintain. A busy plant is a healthy plant

Subbing for the ride. Are those Seedsman White widows? I growed some WW auto from Seedsman on my first grow and they got huge. Great smoke also...️

Thanks! I will let it grow as is for a couple days and then see where they are at

Day 33:

Girls got watered yesterday. 2 gallons of plain Ph water @ 6.5-6.7 split between the 5. Overall they look pretty good, they are getting pretty bushy.
I'm starting to hold off on the lst so they can grow upwards a little bit.
There are pistils everywhere! I'm not sure if this means preflower? It seems like they are kind of stretching but I'm not sure. Kinda going with my gut instinct here. Maybe going to start with the bloom fertilizer next feed? Any input from a more experienced grower?
I also think I'm going to pick up some neem oil because I'm getting what looks like little holes in the leaves from bugs, hopefully not, but going to be safe than sorry.
It also seems like they are behind a little for being autos on day 33. Any thoughts?

 

[el cheapo]

Looks like they are just starting to flower. I wouldn't worry about lateness. This auto is on day 42 and still not flowering...

Dang, that thing is gonna be huge!

Day 35:

Feed day. Today they got fed with 3 tsp big bloom, 2 tsp grow big, 2 tsp tiger bloom, half tsp recharge, and 5 ml cal-mag per gallon of water x3 gallons split between the 5. Ph was naturally between 6.6-6.8 and ppm was 1850. I'm just kind of guessing with the nutes now, got off schedule a little while ago.

2 of the 5 are smaller than the rest, I'm not sure if they will come around or just be low yielding plants. 1 of those 2 had droopy leaves. I'm thinking due to under watering, once i watered within 2 hours they perked up.

I have moved the light up to 42" above the canopy because I have switched the light to full spectrum. I will slowly start to lower it once I see how they react. I'm not really sure what height to put this light at. It didn't come with any information about it.

Day 37:

Girls are drying out much faster now. Watered today with 3 tsp big bloom, and 1oz liquid seaweed per gallon of water x2 gallons split between the 5. Ph-6.8 and ppm-1000

Moved the light down to about 30-32" above the canopy and they seem to be taking it well so far.

Not doing much now that they are in flower other than some leaf tucking here and there, just to sit back and watch. Surprisingly they are getting pretty fragrant already though!

Already can't wait until harvest to see how much they produce!
