Solomatic CBD

Solomatic CBD or Autoflowering CBD is a strain that typically contains THC levels between < 1% and CBD levels ranging from 0.21. Known for its Sweet, Citrus, Pine, and Ginger profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being 3 – 4 ft (90 – 120 cm) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Low to Moderate; light feeders that prefer organic tea or diluted salts..

This Autoflowering CBD is of the Genetype: 70% Indica / 20% Sativa / 10% Ruderalis. The Solomatic CBD strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Solomatic CBD in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Autoflowering CBD is 6.0 – 6.5 and 5.8 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Solomatic CBD needs to maintain a target temperature of 68°F – 77°F (20°C – 25°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 65% – 70%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Autoflowering CBD growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Solomatic CBD needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Solomatic CBD is 18/6 or 20/4 (Light/Dark) for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Solomatic CBD will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 72°F – 82°F (22°C – 28°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 50% – 60% is achieved, the Autoflowering CBD will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This 70% Indica / 20% Sativa / 10% Ruderalis is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 18/6 or 20/4 (Maintain same for entire life) for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Solomatic CBD is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered LST Only; avoid topping as it is an auto and has a short recovery window..

The most exciting phase, when growing 70% Indica / 20% Sativa / 10% Ruderalis is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Solomatic CBD will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 18/6 or 20/4 (Does not require 12/12). Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 68°F – 77°F (20°C – 25°C) and 40% – 50% so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Solomatic CBD is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Autoflowering CBD with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Compact, bushy, pyramidal structure with a large central cola.

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower's Insight
Solomatic CBD is the "low-maintenance" choice of the CBD world. Because it is an autoflowering strain, it will begin flowering based on age (usually around week 3 or 4) rather than a change in light.

Avoid the "Flip": Do not switch your lights to 12/12. This plant thrives on 18–20 hours of light throughout its entire life to maximize the 21% CBD potential.

The "No-Topping" Rule: Since its life cycle is pre-programmed to ~70 days, any high-stress training (like topping or FIMing) can stunt the plant permanently. Stick to Low Stress Training (LST) by gently tying down branches to open the canopy.

Pest Resistance: This strain is noted for being quite hardy against mold and cold, making it a great candidate for "balcony grows" or less-than-perfect indoor setups.
