Good morning everyone !
Hope you are all very well and feeling the ways of the herb !
Little update today after the feeding 2 days ago.
Ok ... I decided to give them 2ml Alga grow per 1ltr of water as planned as always. And unfortunately I quite badly burnt 1 of the blades on the 2nd node leaves (3 blades). In a matter of 6 hours and some time in the morning, I witnessed them flop, wilt, yellow and crisp up real bad. After nursing them (it made me so sad to do this since she looked so pretty) I decided the best thing to do was cut the blade half way to try and save the rest of the leaf. After that I just prayed it wouldn't spread and that she could pick up enough strength to hold out untill the nutes had worn off a little.
I also did a little damage to the Kannabia Special but no where near as bad.
I decided to do some research into these nutrients the day after I fed them and I really wish I had done it before hand lol.
I found this handy graph showing the dosage recommendations on a weekly basis ...
So basically I had given them the correct amount but maybe it was too early on? Maybe there were still sufficient nutrients in the soil? Who know's?
THANKFULLY ... The rest of the day went by and to my surprise, she hadn't really stunted at all and she had greened out in a REALLY nice shade of green with only slight yellowing to the very tips of the rest of the leaves. The new growth has not been affect and the internode branches are thriving more than ever. A few of the other blades on the leaves I had badly burnt had dried out a little so again I decided to trim them half way to prevent losing the whole thing. The AK 47 was completely in-affected by the over dose and is fine. The Kannabia special is also fine and no more damage was done.
This morning was a much better greet from the little ladies. They seem to have chirped right up and growing at their normal rate. The Auto Critical has thrown out atleast another 3-4 sets of pistils and the white hairs get longer and thicker by the hour! No signs of pre-flowering on the other 2 Auto's yet but they are a tad behind the Critical (by about 4-5 days in time wise I'd say).
I'm glad to say we ALL learn from our experiences and I know now that these nutrients are more concentrated than my last brand (BioBizz). I note everything down for the future so lets hope my 2nd attempt at Auto's will go alot more smoothly. Also I have decided to definitely go with Auto Critical for my next attempt. She's so pretty and grows at an amazing speed ! I can't wait to see what she produces for me
I have to wait for Miss Pepper to get home from work later to take some pictures of the girls as again her phone has a better camera than mine
Sorry to be slacking a little guys I've been super busy recently. You know how life is !
I hope everyone's gardens are pretty and green this morning !
May today bring peace and green love to all !
Many thanks,
