This second round of the auto flowers are going longer than the first. I think I am still looking at possibly 2 weeks. Although I’m keeping a close watch as the first round plants turned pretty quickly.
I am looking at slightly milky trachomas on all the plants and not a single one turning brown, I think I will start trimming immediately upon seeing some of the trachomas turning brown, instead of waiting until I see 10%. I want this batch to be a little more up.
The browning of the leaves in the Gelato was solved this week and it turned out to be the air current in the room was pushing the hot air from the heater directly into the Gelato plant. The temperature outside has dropped and this has made the heater run more and basically the plant was under a heat pump and couldn’t keep up with moisture to the leaves. The new challenge is that my rooms floor has begun to get colder and even with the plants pots sitting on 2” foam the soils temps have dropped significantly. We got a deep freeze and hit -11 recently and even with an extra heater the soils temperatures hit 39 degrees. They have rebounded and
I do not see any significant negative impacts yet. I will have to improve the situation for next winter’s grow season indoors. Soon it will be outdoors again and I cannot wait!
