Cr8grow’s Cream Mandarine XL Auto Journal #3 2020

[cr8grow]

All four on a growth spurt...dealt them name tags today. Got the idea from an old Portland OR hangout on the East side that handed you a card when you ordered a beer and sandwich...then they found you on the deck. Third grow so thought a good place to start With a

four of a kind.

Great idea. I'd have Joker's in mine I think.

2 days into week 3 and Changing daily. Deep water 6.5 PH with organic nutes, last water 7 days ago. Raised the light another inch this morning. And see the first preflowers...you can see a couple pistils in the close up. Also first smell today as I watered. Rethinking LST to maybe see how big the main can get. These are supposed to be tall XL’s. Need to watch my headroom.

 

[One Of These Days]

Maybe they were talking about the trunk size being xl those stalks are huge!!

 

[cr8grow]

Pencil size already...I dont know what to think about these squat robust autos.

 

[cr8grow]

LST today, half way through week 3. Now showing pistils. 3 Is a little behind the others. Side branches doing well...will start to spread those out this week. These are the first plants I haven’t topped...anxious to see how the main cola turns out. Smell is ramping up from nothing a few days ago.

Received the Next Light award and it looks awesome.

You're going to love the @NextLight !

 

[StoneOtter]

Wow i'm glad I found you growing these man! Going to be some tasty high times coming up. What kind of height do they run?

 

[cr8grow]

Pretty tall...thought LST might help. @Sunnyskies is close to finishing...think he said about 20”. Hoping mine go at least 30” for yield. There are pistils everywhere this morning. These would be good for time lapse pics...raised light again today...the lowered after LST. From Sweet Seeds site

those ladies are in launch mode, looking great and killer sounding genetics.

I wasnt planning another update, but, things changed again overnight. The LST mains turned back to the light and all grew another inch. I pulled the mains down a bit more and started to spread the primary branches a bit. Pots are also lighter than I expected, so seem to be using more water than my last 2 photo grows.

Pics before and after this afternoon.

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

See launch mode lol, I swear I tie em down sometime turn around to get more pipe cleaners (maybe smoke one) and they already facing up lol. Looks amazing

 

[Sunnyskies]

They looking awesome to me! Wait till they start throwing buds and they will drink a lot.

 

[StoneOtter]

They look healthy as horses!

 

[politoed]

Day 21...end of week 3. LST taking well so far, will adjust further next week. See a little wind burn on two plants, moved the fan up several inches and redirected. No f-gnats or nute burn. Plant height 8”, raised the light another inch today. Will need water tomorrow, so definitely using more than my first 2 grows. Breeder says 6 more weeks...I need to decide when stretch is over and when to shift to flower nutes. Looking to maximize yield, but have no control over veg time with an auto. The plants went from preflower to throwing up pistils in the last week. Temps ranging 64 to 84 F daily. I plan to swap in the 3k redder bulb when I switch nutes to finish flowering. I just need to decide timing, maybe another 3 weeks. Pics from midday.

 

[cr8grow]

Another day, another inch or two. Applied more LST today, Pulled the mains down just a bit more and spread out the primary side branches. Water and nutes today, a couple days sooner than the last. 3 is a really nice plant at 22 days. Looks like I will have a pretty even canopy...hope they all stretch a lot. Pics from this afternoon.

 

[StoneOtter]

They all look like diamonds to me cr8! Going to make a mess of bud there.
