Outdoor Late Season Balcony Grow; 00 Seeds Auto Bubblegum

[Paco's Monkey]

Now that we're thick into the Austral autumn, I've decided to give a go to one last auto seed before we call it a season. Due to the fact that I've only 8 more weeks to finish everything up before heading overseas for holiday, an automatic makes sense for the purpose of expediency.

Here is a pair of snaps of the 00 Seeds Automatic Bubblegum that I started off in rockwool mid-April. She's sitting in an active soil mix of:
Searles Organic Kickalong Soil / Sugar Cane Mulch/ Cow Manure / Pearlite and a microbiotic cocktail of friendly bacteria and VAM fungi (mycorrhizae & friends).


Up till now I've only been watering with a bit of Rhizotonic(1ml/Litre) and super-diluted Bio:Juice GROW.


At the moment my stealthy terrace gets about 6 hours of direct Aussie sunshine and another 4hrs indirect light. I hope the super strong Aussie sunshine is enough to see this girl through to harvest. Fingers crossed!

Here we are, another week older and a few more leaves showing. Gained about 12mm in height. Sticking with the super light feeding of Bio:Juice GROW and Rhizoblast.

In spite of the cooler nights (13*C) she seems to be moving right along.

Awesome! How big is your container, just curious. Looking great so far though!

Thanks for the comments; She's sitting in a Yates 10litre 'self watering' pot.
I've found with Auto's it's best to start in Rockwool then when it's about 2 weeks old I drop the cube into the pot. I go with the pot she's to finish in as I've learned (from this fine AFN community) automatics don't like to be transplanted.

Another week down and some more growth is evident - I topped the girl about 8 days ago and can now see two new stems emerging from where she was snipped.
I've recent had to bring her indoors at night as we've had a few nights in Sydney dropping to 10*C.
Feeding wise - I've upped the BioJuice:GROW to 10 ml/L and added some seaweed extract 10ml/L and kept the Rhizoblast to 1ml/L. Now all we need is a run of a few more sunny days.
