Nutrients Outdoor GSC Autoflower in Coco with Prescription Blend

[rinnr]

I hate my cat lol. Another attack. This time I set it on a rickety glass table while I was mixing nutrients. She's usually terrified of the table but overcame her fears to make my experience much less enjoyable here....I don't even buy her cat treats anymore cuz of this lol. Started growing cat grass to distract her but she barely touches it. I hate looking at my apartment because everything is set up to keep this fucking cat away and it still fails. I'm going to have to fence off part of my balcony, which is absolutely fucking ridiculous. Because of one dumb, piece of shit cat.

She's eaten about 15 blades total and completely killed 3 plants. But I'm still trying, I guess. She really took the fun and excitement all the way the fuck out of this. It's a chore now, because most of the effort is spent keeping her away from my fucking plants & moving shit around twice daily in order to do so. I forget details and have to write down measurements now because my mind is so focused on "where is the fucking cat????" "Is the door closed??" "what's that sound? is she eating my plant?" My heart can't take the stress lol. She's fucking exhausting.

In other news, leaves growing from the elbows are starting to take off. This is after 1 week of feeding at veg strength.

Wishing you well

It definitely cracks me up as much as it makes me angry. I'm just in such a state of disbelief over her relentlessness, how much wasted effort I've put forth, and how fuckin ridiculous my apartment looks now. My plants are now sitting outside in a box, on top of a smaller box (so she cant use it for elevation), on top of a glass table. They are 4 feet off the ground. It looks disgusting. Stacks of cardboard boxes? On a balcony table? It could just be a couple pots next to my other plants but nah, my dumbass cat won't allow it. The best part is I have to take everything inside every night and bring it back out in the morning. Oh, and if the wind picks up or something like a bird lands on the box and throws the balance off? Plants would be on the ground lol. And no amount of testing has my stress levels down about what the cat could do, she could knock the whole thing over if she had a reason to. Seeing her stare at it all day literally has my heart on edge all day. I cannot relax. I'm more anxious in every way. The sound of the neighbor's little rat barking is 10x more infuriating and distracting. I'm much more irritable now because I'm constantly stressing and worrying about...the cat.

Tbh it's like finding out your child is a cold-blooded murderer. Just absolutely monstrous. I really don't see her the same lmfao. She also started peeing on my bathroom mat because I have to lock her in the bathroom when I take the plants out to feed/mix nutrients/etc without having to hide them each and every single time I'm not directly in front of them. She's started attacking my other seedlings as well, which she ignored for years of continuous propagation. She's become an agent of chaos and destruction and I'm starting to despise other things she's done over the years that I've never stressed about, like how she's also ruined my couch, and every single one of my dressers with her scratching despite her always having 3+ scratching posts available. These thoughts didn't used to be in my head. Now it's all I can think about. On top of the stress of being absolutely trapped in a box, on furlough still, in a nation that doesn't believe in science or that my life matters, next to neighbors who bang on the wall when I make a smoothie or run some hot water for coffee, or slam on their door multiple times when I have company over.

Can't stress how much I appreciate it when things go smoothly in life and I'm able to enjoy the little things, she really did completely take that away from me here. It's fucking hilarious that a cat had that much power, but it's also incredibly disheartening.

Maybe I'm venting, but wow.

Have you tried distracting your cat eith some cat nip?

 

[rinnr]

She's never responded to catnip lol, which is odd. I started growing some since she seems to like the smell of live plants but they'll be seedlings for a month or two. For the past week I've just been doing the box thing, and the plant has exploded with growth since it's been left alone by the cat. I have a 2 foot x 4 foot tray I used to use for FreshPatch (like sod/grass for pets in apartments) and I'm probably going to buy some ~2 ft tall, 2ft x 2ft pet fencing I could place around half of the tray & keep the plants in there, and keep a 2x2 sod of grass in the other half to keep her happy. $60+ investment, and half of that is the grass which'll need to be replaced every couple weeks, but I think it'll look nice and will work to protect my Raspberry & Blackberry plants too.

I'm impressed at the growth at this stage tbh and no signs of any nutrient deficiencies or burns from what I can tell. Any damage you see is from the cat.

Entering Week 3 Veg this week. This is before feeding at this week's strength since the coco's damp, but tomorrow I'll probably feed at 70% Week 3 strength for ~4 days (I mix a half-gal at a time) and judge the plant from there.

Added this cage a few days ago and it's been smooth sailing since. :smoking:

After feeding a few times at 70% of Week 3 Veg Strength:

Shot of the LST:

 

[rinnr]

Day 47. Feeding at full strength week 4 veg, but added 2ml/g of Big Data. Next week I'll go full strength Flowering Week 1.

I noticed this white stuff under one of the leaves a couple days ago...not sure what it is, I don't think it's eggs. Wondering if I should just remove the leaf?

 

[Prescription Blend]

They are looking good, you can pick off the part of that leaf with the white stuff and keep an eye out for more.

 

[rinnr]

Right i tore it off right after posting. About to enter Flowering week 1. I had been feeding 2mg/g of Big Data for the past week, going full strength now.

 

[rinnr]

Buds are bulking up. Looks to be around mid-flower, I'm feeding at Week 2 Flowering strength, anticipating ~2 more weeks of fruiting after this week before harvest. Would anyone say that's accurate? I'm good to keep feeding according to the chart? Looks like my harvest week will be Week 5 Flowering on the chart. I'm going back and forth between whether or not to flush, which would just be with pH'd water.
