Day 37
Wassup Y'all. Yeah she's definitely root bound, but the crazy thing is, is that the root system is huge, I didn't expect it to get this big, especially with a small auto in a 2gal pot. I was under the suspicion that 2 plants would be a little too much for that pot so I went with one. I'm very glad i went with one. I didn't dig too deep into the soil, maybe 3/4 of an inch and i'm already seeing the root system. for the next grow, I'm planning on cutting up my smart pots and resewing them back together to make it a long rectangular smart pot that will fit in the case. I'm pretty stoked about it, just don't now how to sew... yet. plus i don't what kind of thread i'll use. Well i'll cross that bridge when I get too it. In other news I changed the lights to 6 23 watt 2700k with 1650 lumens each, that's 50 more than the 6500k lights. The plant is still having rapid grow, not just on the leaves, and bus but the stems as well. I don't think there will be anymore budsites popping up as well. With that being said, every top is exposed and is not being blocked. I went against what a lot of people said and I trained the hell out of this plant, as well as cutting a little undergrowth off. So far, i haven't seen any nanners and don't plan to either. I will be adding a 18w 1620 lumens led light on the backside because why the hell not. at that point i'll have 138 watts. Anywho, I flushed her today, and will be feeding her on friday. Pics will come late. My sister is getting married this weekend and the family will be in. Until next time folks.
btw, here is the led light. let me know if anyone's had problems with it.

Day 42
Wassup y'all. Well i've ran into a problem that i'm not too sure I can solve and don't really know what to do about it. So my plant is turning yellow and has spots on it, which you'll see in the photos, and I think it's because it's root bound. if you take the top soil off you'll see nothing but roots and i'm pretty sure that's the cause. What can I do about it? should I just let the grow go on and finish it out? will it finish out? or can I do a quick transfer to another pot? If I transferred the autoflower would it kill it or possible grow nanners? All the help would be greatly appreciated.
In the fifth picture you can really see the roots

Day 45
Wassup y'all. Today I dropped the grow nutes and added some 0-0-1 North American Kelp, to help out with the potassium deficiencey. I did top dress her one last time with Azomite, as well as upped the nutes to the recommended amount. I freaked out with the sudden yellowness in the leaves as well as the spots. So I asked around this site and researched it myself and saw that it was a potash deficiency. I'm hoping I didn't burn the plant with the increase in nutes, but I believe she'll be fine. Her resin production is coming in slowly but surely and she's still bulking up which leads me to believe she has about 4 more weeks and 5 at the most. Last night I found a pc grow with Blue Mystic Auto, but it looks like my plants behind his as far as what his plant looked like at day 45.
well what are you gonna do? Anyways here she is.

How many weeks do y'all think she has ahead of her? I think at least 3 weeks and then onto the 2 week flush, but even then that seems like too little of time. What do y'all think?
Btw what kind of microscopes and ph pens do y'all recommend, although the microscope is in more urgent order

Tried the cheaper ones... in the junk pile now.
Get this one, keep it calibrated and be done !

Day 49
Wassup y'all. Today is week 7 and i'm guessing she has about 3 weeks left, 4 at the most. She doesn't have 50% amber stigmas (about 25%) and I have no idea about the trichromes. To my understanding when all the heads are cloudy then you start the flushing process which is 2 weeks? Anyways we're going to feed her 1 more time, which will be in the next few days, but when its the next time to feed i'll have the microscope and i'll take a look to see if she's read for the flush. here in a week i'll be taking her down to 12/12 from 18/6. and of course i'll be doing the 36hrs of no sunlight before she gets the chop. Also will trichomes still form or are they done growing? Her resin production isn't the best, but i'm just wondering if she's still producing. She is getting bulkier but the buds are still airy. Any advice is welcome.

Might I recommend not getting this one (or the PPM meter by Hannah that looks the same but is blue) those 2 were my first 2 and did nothing but frustrate me (especially the PPM). I now have a blue labs PPM pen ($100+) and a kick ass $50 ph meter the Miluawakee 101 fucker has a killer microchip, instead of waiting 1 minute while the hannah settled on a ph level, the Milluawakee is done in 5-10 seconds. Others will say go blue labs ph meters their the best, and they are, but at $100+ they better be.

Day 53, 3rd day of the 7th week
Flower: 4 weeks, 3 days.
Wassup y'all. Not too much to say here, just fed her tonight and went slightly above the recommended dose. This maybe the last time I feed her, but i think she'll have one more feeding before the great flush. Next monday my jeweler's loupe should be in and i'll be checking out the trichromes that day to get a better idea of when she'll be ready. I think she has 3 more weeks but we'll see. She's really taking shape right now and I'm starting to see a little purple on the buds and on the sm
aller leaves. anywho i'm shooting for 20 grams, and still have no idea how much i'll get. Since this is my first time i can't guesstimate how much these nugs will weigh. anyways without any further ado, here is some porn.

She has a very neutral smell. If she's moved or cut she smells, other than that of you put your nose up to her it's a sweet skunky mint smell

Day 55 "Happy Halloween!" Purchases, led lights, future harvest plans.
Wassup Y'all. No pictures today, but just giving an update on my plans with the plant's life coming to an end. Tomorrow is Sunday which makes 8 weeks from seed and 5 weeks of flower, so she has 1-2 weeks left. I'm going to feed her mon or tuesday, and if she has another week then feed once more. I ordered a Jeweler's Loupe and it should be arriving on Monday, so then I can check the trichromes and have a better idea of when to harvest. I'm going to flush but not do the 2 week flush, which is the beauty of not using chemical fertilizer. This is an organic grow, and have stopped using the non-organic Superthrive two weeks ago, although Superthrive is not so chemical-ly. I also bought a 26-Watt Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Fluorescent Tropical Terrarium Lamp, to give UBV rays to the plants so it increases thc levels. Shout out to Fishdeth. It's a little late in the game, but better late than never. I do have a LED light coming in as well which the earliest is Wednesday, but it could be another 2 weeks. We might have to harvest in increments to get the most out of this grow, in which i'm totally ok with. But if we harvest some of the plant rather then at once, i'll completely cut the feeding schedule out and just water her. I don't imagine the rest of the plant would be done in additional couple weeks. But I have a great feeling about the harvest, but I hope I don't over-estimate then be really let down. Ah well. Any advice is very very welcome. Happy Halloween!

Thank you bro, yeah she's a trooper dude. I've read a lot of forums that say "Do not give Auto's nutes," and she's only been burned once and it was slightly. I'm hoping she's going to get turnt up these last 2 weeks and start bulking up and putting out more resin glands.

I started out with a 1/3rd of the strength and didn't up it until a few weeks ago. Definitely don't give it to them in the first 2 or 3 weeks. I did start out at week two with just Superthrive and Garrett Juice
