New Grower Perpetual Auto Grow By The Trifid..

[Trifid]

Week 4 (day 33)

Two of the four seedlings (day 12) unsexed, were transplanted into starter containers and introduced into the grow area to initiate a second layer. These together with the Lowboldt (still in vegative stage) were fed 0.1% fish emulsion, 0.1% Rhizotonic with added amino acids.

Growth of the initial layer continued to flourish into week 4 to form a uniform canopy as the plant's demand for water increased. Quicker drying times (within 24hrs) lead to the requirement to water every 48 hrs. The growth of the Pineapple express is particularly robust exhibiting multiple branching and short internodes; It's thick bright green foliage suggest an indica dominance . Pineapple express was transplanted into a full size (6Ltr) container at day 34 and foliar fed 0.5% Rhizotonic.

Vertical growth in both the BHK and the Blueberry slowed considerably from day 30 with an apparent swelling of the terminal buds. Despite no significant indication of trichrome production, the smell and floral density in these plants increased dramatically following the initial inoculation with active yeast in wk3. The onset of calyx formation led to the development of various secondary floral clusters that had fully occupied the internodal spaces by day 33, to form a primary cola. Soil cultures were fed unsulphured molasses (1.5g/L^-1) and pure D-glucose (200mg/L^-1) with uric/humic acid extract 0.5% periodically between waterings for four consecutive days following the initial inoculation. Terminal buds were foilar fed with algae/seaweed extracts with added zinc (25mg) on day 32.
After careful observation, the Lowboldt revealed itself as a female on day 33 Humidity remained @ 40-60%, with an average ambient temperature of 85F.

great conveyor belt of bud mate. Love how you are maximising such limited space. You have given me definite food for thought

Lookin good man! :smokebuds:

Thanks for the encouragement guys Update (wk5) on it's way

Can't wait my friend. All of this bud porn is keeping me away from the real stuff ha-ha

Week 5 (Day 40-47)

Seedlings transplanted into starter containers during wk4 began to reveal male preflowers around day 14 of their growth cycle and were subsequently removed from the grow space. These were immediately replaced by the remaining unsexed MG and PM seedlings whereby mild doses of 0.1% fish emulsion, 0.1% Rhizotonic were provided periodically over four consecutive days between waterings.

Sustained, heavy flowering of the initial layer continued into wk5 to give an increase in floral density and aroma with the first indications of glandular trichome production. Terminal buds were foilar fed with 0.5% algae/seaweed extracts at lights out with added zinc (50mg), Calcium vitamin D (150mg) and uric/humic acid extracts.

Existing soil cultures were carb-loaded using 0.5% glucose solution with added yeast extracts and susulphured mollasses, while additional applications of active yeast, Mycorrhizia and Trichoderma Harzianum inoculates were provided to the growing medium.. Vegative growth of the Purple Mazar has slowed considerably but has failed to initiate auto-flowering, producing only female pre-flowers. Bat guano/mother's earth seabird guano mulch with added powdered kelp was applied to the surface of the growing medium (1.5 cup's per container) to provide a sustained, organic source of P and K.

Sounding great Trifid bro. At least your Purple Mazar is a lady eh? Hope it kicks-in for you bro without switching to 12/12

Great and useful grow log mate :thumbs: Lush and healthy plants you got there. How many planst do you have under that light and how close is the light to plants?

Bro, you got it going-on there. Chucking them outside to let mother nature deal with them too, love it. Also your humidity dome idea is cool for your seedlings. Again mate, very simple but obviously very effective. Give yourself a pat on the back and thanks for all you helped me with :buds:

AB - Thank you for your continued contribution to this thread, it's a real joy to share this information with you.. I'll be keeping a close watch on your project buddy, your plants seem to be thriving with the treatment you are providing them - i'm anticipating your next update

Thanks for interest and encouragement Stone :howdy: is a pleasure to have you on board.. I have enough space to accommodate up to six full size standard-autos while introducing broods every 2-3 weeks... i'm very impressed with the Stitch genetics, these plants produce very prolific and responsive phenotypes ideal for purely organic methodologies

I tend to keep the lamps positioned vertically in the mid-line of the closet in order to maximise the intensity/luminosity on the upper and side profiles of the plants - this way the lamps are no more than 1-2'' from the canopy.. This has had the effect of minimising the internode spacing.
