Journal Roadrunner culture Pepe Automatic-Week-5th
In the fifth week of my experience with automatic Dinafem can say that the week is over finally sexing plants, all were female and were already beginning to show its features clearly. Began to appear something of resin that could be easily seen in the early formations of flowering, and also began to notice more smell, more noticeable each time the characteristic odor around the plants, and between 35-40 days, buds and the plant in general were taking a typical appearance of flowering.
5th week
This week I have noticed that continued to grow, both in height and width. They were taking a rounder size, reaching 50 cm. on average, and taking the body. This is noticed also that I was asked more and more irrigation ... if last week to start hitting the high heat I noticed that water more, now I have noticed that the tendency of plants is that, increasingly are demanding more water for hydrate those stout bodies with a force pulling awesome! I also noticed that the trunk and stems became more hard and woody, and I have told you that I am surprised to autoflowering well as with overlapping phases of growth and flowering, the intensively together, this is what saves time and this list in 65 days ....
Besides calling for more irrigation, I have not increased the food I give them, that's why prepare at first a complete and balanced field. The only thing that I have given at this stage is a bloom stimulator Green Hope, weekends and irrigation water added some bio-fertilizer flowering bloom to be gaining strength. The next week would begin to pay something stronger, so I will tell you as it has been my plan with credit risks
Moreover, I had to follow the fight against caterpillars, and also to continue with the treatment of Bacillus Thurigensis that I told you last week, now we had to go directly to the melee against them! ... Was with the treatment of Bacillus, and I knew that this can stop the caterpillars, but never completely eliminate them, not as a shock treatment chemical insecticides. And so I thought of applying the Bacillus with twice daily treatment concentration (spraying on plants), but seeing that AA would not eliminate them altogether is the only way, I was also on hand to clean the plants, one one, to end at all with the plague.
Caterpillar captured in Pepe's garden ...
I found some twenty or caterpillars, small and great, but most were not as active and aggressive as before, so I imagine that Bacillus was doing his job, and had to take was doing effect to the caterpillars (they burst inside and can not eat, so they were as stupid) to take down and leave the remains of plants free of caterpillars, and could come in perfect condition at the end of flowering. Being with intensive treatment of Bacillus spraying had begun to notice that some of the first white pistils were wearing something brown, and I thought it probably was because of the intensive treatment was applied by spraying twice ... so I had to leave now plants free of caterpillars to get a good start within the last stage ... and there is less!
Meanwhile, I send greetings to all readers of the web Dinafem from my garden.
