Candy Cane Auto from Crop King seeds

He's really old now, heart problems etc. He's pretty old school but seems to know his stuff. He's learned a few things i've told him from here too. Like Fimming. He thought that was neat as he's so used to topping.

3.78 L in a US Gal. I was only using 1L, but now I'm up to 2L. So around half a Gal each watering now.

my photo's i'll top or mainline then fim the top's

Ah man, my plants are hungry bad for phosphorous I think. Im starting to see spots on leaves. I haven't really been feeding them very much because I didn't want to nute burn them. I guess she might be showing signs of flowering too and needs more. I thought she was still just showing her sex?? I don't think I've given her a full recommended feeding yet, combined. I gotta run out but I'll post pics when I get back.

Ok, sorry for the delay. Some things came up. Anyways, for all those other newbies out there, this is what phosphorus deficiency looks like. I wasn't feeding her as much as she needed and this was the result. My fan leaves took a beating as they were trying to protect the rest of the plant I guess. Most the stems went from red to purple on all my fan leaves, but normal coloration where the flowering will be taking place.

Very impressed how she protected those flower/bud spots.

Almost like a where's Waldo. See if you can spot all the deficiencies/excesses I've gone through as a first grow? I think this poor girl has gone through at least 5 and still counting. Her scars bare all

Oh and I'm not sure how old she is. But has she started the flowering phase or still just showing sex at this point?

when it stops growing vertically its in flower ..... it will stop growing up and start growing out .... still looks like its in veg ...... you feeding cal/mag ? plant doesnt look too bad bro to be honest

Ok, its still growing I think. No I don't have any Cal/Mag but I was looking into getting some last night actually. Thanks, I hope she is still on track.

I ended up ordering that Cal-Mag, a tent, and the rest of the advanced nutrients should be arriving shortly.

Edit: Also, she is still growing. Meh

Alright, so for those still interested here goes.
Some of the stuff has come in and I'm pretty much just waiting on the tent. The tent btw was a bit of a mistake, I ordered one bigger then I had planned and ended up getting shipped the one double the size of what I wanted.... oh well. Anyways its 4'x4'x6.6' now.

So I won't explain too much, as today I just fed/watered her and you'll see the steroids I just stuck her on from the pic.

Candy Cane Auto is now taking 3L per watering roughly every 3 days.
She's 2ft tall now and still spurting up without much control at this point with regards to LED height. Still keeping it around 6 inch from top of plant. Still the same no name Hollandstar 300w LED light source

Her feeding tonight for the first time is as follows;

AN Big Bud - 1/2 str
Cal/Mag 1/2 str
AN Bud Ignitor full str
AN Bud Candy full str

No AN Nirvana and no AN Overdrive used yet.

And yes I understand that this prob won't make much of a diff, but I do hope it simplifies some of the problems I've been having at the very least. I know *Light* is king and that I need more. That would ruin my test tho

Update

I know it's only been 2 days, but things are changing fast.
I've given her second feeding today with all the AN crap and Cal/mag

So whats changed? Well she was leaning close to the every 3 day mark for watering and that has pretty much just changed to every day and a half... which is also starting to hurt my back moving her around.

Stretched a tiny bit more, and if i'm not mistaken, she bushed out a bit.
Unfortunately I have no idea the age, due to being auto-flower and my in-experience to all this. I would guess 2 weeks into flower?
I also switched back to 18/6 as I didn't thing she was ever going to start flowering. Not sure why I made that decision, other then the fear that my auto wasn't going to flower. Such a stoner newb move.

I guess I should have done a grow journal, I see the error I have created with regards to this also.
Anyways, cheers and enjoy the picture show from tonight.

PS Feel free to comment, I'd love to know if she's doing ok for a 300w setup etc

And once again, she is exhibiting early signs of phos deficiency. Now I thought to myself, how the fuck? I compare my bloom/transplant crap to the big bud crap and lo and behold .. big bud is 0-15-35 ... my bloom/transplant is 10-52-10

So back to supplementing the phosphorus with the bloom/transplant feed I guess.

Zinc and Phosphorus, this pig, has wanted/demanded the most out of life.

So I've started watering with spring water and it seems my most temperamental plant, the candy cane here, actually loves it. Finally something she likes lately! I swear I've never seen a plant with such attitude. I've also started using the 10-52-10 plus the 0-15-35 big bud @ full str. Plus I threw in Nirvana, dolmite lime (soil is atrociously low PH) which will also help with Cal/mag and Bud Candy. I took her off Bud ignitor as shes in 3rd week Im assuming.

Anyways, shes now frosting up on all her bud sites. Yeee haww!

Tent arrived. Candy canes looking happy. In my old trailer park boys tin foil bs setup, the one side of the plant wasn't getting enough light and the buds are clearly smaller then the rest of the plant. Hopefully they will regain pace with the rest of the plant with more overhead light space/bounceback etc.

Definitely considering another 300w LED if I throw 2 more plants in there.
Another pic show. Enjoy.

Plants lookin great!

Thanks!
Shes entered week 4 flower.

I just juiced her tonight on AN Overdrive, as well as the regular bigbud/Nirvana/budcandy and Cal/mag. And her regular 10-52-10 base nutes.

Hope she looks frosty/good size for starting week 4 on this 7 week auto.
Hope I get over an oz with her at least.... please god!

She looks like she'll clear an oz to me, it's pretty bushy!

Alrighty, so my lil candy cane auto is starting to fill out a bit. I can't get over how much she's frosting up by the night. I'm guessing because she's a week 7 flower, I have about another 2 1/2 weeks before supposedly shes done. Well, I'm guessing she's gonna be a frosty bitch.

Enjoy.

Here we go, some more glory shots from her watering/feeding tonight.
I used a crappy cam, my apologies. I will use the good cam next time.

So, as for updates, she has started turning a couple pistils orange. 1 or 2 here and there, nothing big yet.
She's still frosting up quite nicely, trichs everywhere.
The thing that kinda surprises me though, is everyone talks about how she stops growing after the stretch. I swear she's now 3ft tall and I can barely fit her out the tent door ffs. Maybe I'm imagining it, but she seems a lot buffer and taller the past week.

Again, all comments welcome. Enjoy.

Update

Ok I said I would post better pics and I'm now delivering on that this last feeding today.
She's now on 1/2str bloom, big bud etc but still full str cal/mg

The breeder info says 7 wks, so thats another 1 1/2 wks to go or more I guess.

The smell is starting to pick up. It's rather quite strange because I always expected a really skunky type smell from these plants. The smell from this girl is really gone sweet. It's so sweet, and non offensive, I can't tell its even marijuana. Now in saying that, I have accidentally rubbed my arm on one of the flowers/buds. It left what seem like a wet smear, and the smell is a lot stronger and very exotic indeed.

I cannot wait!

Another update pic.

Smelling so divine! I admit, I snipped a piece off, dried it out on my gas heater in 5 mins and had a toot. Tasted like shit, very greeeen tasting. I will say though, I got buzzed pretty hard. Creeped up like a sob too.

She's frosty as hell. Idk what to say.
She's week 6 1/2 right now and is supposed to be a 7 week. I think she still has another 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 weeks to go yet....
