First Run: Critical Lemon CBD Auto

Week 4 Start of week update. (remember Auto Zam didn't germinate so this is just Critical Lemon CBD Auto) 29 days since puttin' seeds in soil. Tops are yellow to green though lower growth is happy, our PH for everything is in the 6 range. Soil isn't staying wet, but is allowed dry out a tad. so this is looking more and more like light stress, lights at as good a height as I can get, soooo I guess I can try dropping her down to 14hrs L 10 dark. But first I'm going to try out Bio-Bizz Alg-a-mic (1ml/L each watering) as thats ment to help recover from stressors so lets see if we can get that better green colour and keep the longer light-growing time. I am also going to try out the Fish-mix for this last week (two full feeds, 1 half feed). Its reccomened by BB to switch Fish-Mix for Bio-grow when flowering and I'll throw in couple of their others in during flowering. Day 29 07/05 Re-arranged the LST and tucking to keep a good spread of stems for light and air(might have to do some level of defole if it doesnt get a little taller.), got a loevly nose full of scent (Lemony with a lil skunky and spicey tinge) Gave her the first full feed of Fish-mix and a dose of Alg-a-mic to see if that sorts out a bit more of the chlorosis on the tips. Inspite of the stress shes still growing well and the mutant stem is growing well only strange ness is it's 4 finger leaf structure and the florret growth at the base. I've also adjusted the secondary fan to see if we can help cool her and upped the power on the extraction to bring the Humidity down a bit) nothing to do now but see if my adjustments resolve things. I have high hopes. Day 31 09/05 Re-arranged LST again to keep up with growth, she's a lovely lemony skunky scent Chlorosis seems to be reduced again, all lower growth is a good aside from the odd old injury or singed site from water on leaves under LED. So either my adjustment of the cooling fan is helping or the Alg-a-mic is doing what its ment too. Eitherway, todays feed will be light fish-mix and stronger alg-a-mic (1ml/l and 2ml/L respectivly) I know I'm likely being overly cautious with the nutes and could go harder, but I'd like to reduce her signs of stress before I start pushing it. Day 33 11/05 Need to keep on top of the LST, she grows and shifts quiet alot which is good to see. Trained the main stem out the edge of the bag today, the secondaries are looking that way too while tertiary and quartarnery are filling up the center. Plan for the future here is to put in a net, once we get a bloom strech coming in, to add support. Her top leaves are a birght lime but getting darker. Lower leaves are looking fine for the most part, aside from the odd crinkle or damage portion. Most of it looks like hold over formation damage from light stress and burns from water on leaves under LED. She will get a 2ml/L of Fish-mix and Alg-a-mic tonight as it seems to be helping her more. Day 35 #######Halfway of the named grow cycle######### We have reached preflower! The early signs are in by like a day, so all is still to play for. I have added in her first light dose of Bio-Bloom along with the last full dose of Fish mix, for somereason they reccomend switchin over to bio-grow during flower, soo I'll not argue (though I might test next run) Shes still bright at the top, and has some scortch on her leaves and crinkles but hell shes made it this far. the alg-amic is doin a decent job slow but steady. profile shot shows shes still a short one but that main stem has bent over nicely allowing for a fairly even height of my 9 side branches, when she starts to strech I might defoliate a couple of the lower leaves as they where so close to the ground they got water damage and look like an infection risk, shes been so short and bushy I think I need to re-visit my watering method. Aside from a little bit of leaf tucking and adjusting one tie to try and use up athat open space on the bottom left LST hasnt needed adjusting, think its another sign she is getting ready. possible future ideas drop her down to 12-12 Light if the stress doesnt improve past this by end of the next week (or if blooming starts) screen for support maybe adjust main stem LST into another direction?? long term start planting in a different location to allow for more efficient LST, look into defoliation techniques. Lessons Learnt this week. progress can be slow so start early. watering systems beyond a bottle with holes in the lid and a funnel exist for a reason. ok thats gettin a little too real I need to remember I'm growing this to get high
