Tangerine Dream Auto

Week 3 of Veg. Early in the week I noticed that one of the mystery plants had an abnormality. The leaves were curling in on one of the plants in the 1.5 gallon black containers. In week 2 I mentioned I amped up the light intensity and I came to the conclusion that I did so too rapidly and I believe it was shocking the plant. I backed the light back down to about 60-64% and it seemed to have fixed that issue. In week 3 I also started to defoliate and low stress train the plants. I know it is controversial to defoliate auto flowers but I have choose to do so selectively and only a few leaves at a time, allowing the plants time to adjust and recover. The plants seem resilient and have responded well to it, this has allowed much more light and airflow to get to the lower nodes and future bud sites. The watering and nutrients is the same as it has been for the most part, although I did brew up a gallon of molasses water and banana peel tee 🍌. I introduced it to the plants early in the week and got some real nice growth over the following couple of days. I am getting excited as this is my first grow ever and it seems I am inching myself closer and closer to flower with healthy sturdy plants. 🤞🏻
