OMG too, I have been keeping my go pro doing time lapse photos in the tent, I made a video with first 26days in 3 minutes Check it out! Wow, growth is beginning to light a fire in my gut, feels good man! Although, I'm starting to get curious about plant #3. For the past few days, this girl (3), has been not growing in girth or height. Although she seems fuller and healthier.. Gonna wait her out! OH Another thing, A great big SHOUT OUT to Sacred Geometry and Astarte for giving me great advice on my stem issue with plant 2. I went ahead and chose SG's for my answer simply because I felt topping the pot was the right call. Oh but be aware, that my plant heights all went down due to topping off the pots with more soil... But I feel more comfortable about that plant now. Also I heeded SG's advice on Fox Farm Nutrients and halved the recommendations this week. All right, on to my daily log entries. These can all be found in the pics above, but I feel like it makes my comments more beefy.... 12/17 Humidifier ran out of H2O, trimmed first leaves & suckers off Plant 3. I know she's little but I hate her having to work harder for those terrible nutrient suckin leaves 12/18 Rinsed all plants w/ PH Balanced H2O & watered lightly around stem. Sat Back and enjoyed growth. Man, 4 is kick ass! Put in CO2 cannisteter @6:07P 12/19 Trimmed last two weird leaves off plant 3, only left 2 pairs up top hopefully enough... just wanted to get it focused. Topped $4 too, left 3 nodes 12/20 Fed w/ 1.5 tsp/ga Big Bloom / Big Grow, 1/8 tsp/ ga Clean Kelp topped pots w/Dirt (SO SG!) so heights went down Did not top #3's pot too short. Rinsed plants w/ PH Balanced H2O TDS @ 1154 PPM PH out 4.35. 12/21 Topped plant 1, removed bad leaves, P2 pinched baby suckers. (I realize now I'm not really topping, I'm more just trimming suckers) 12/22 CO2 juices on P1 leaves caused almost holes thru it Dropped light to 19 1/2" f/ #3 12/23 Measured plants, shook up CO2 cannister #4 Power Growth! #3 seems to be fuller but no measurement changes! Well there ya have it folks, thanks for stopping by and saying hey I do appreciate it!! Cya Next Wednesday! edit: I just watched video again and realized the two little dots on screen everyday are power lights on plugs breaking out electrical tape now!

Welcome to my Fast Buds sponsored shootout and living organic soil v coco side by side. I also plan to use this grow to my full advantage regarding a few age old nagging questions about methods. I have had a keen interest in L.O.S ( supersoil) since reading a few threads a while back on how amazing and productive it can be. After too much research and procrastinating I had to give it a go. I have been a decades coco/nft grower and recently threw my hat in the rdwc ring too. I have avoided soil due to the overwatering worry ( heavy handed chimp brain !) and the best potting soil/feeds. Catching up on the advances in indoor soil gardening and organics led me too subcools supersoil recipes to name a few but being a town dweller with farms everywhere around me still drew blanks on a lot of the ingredients needed and where the hell I could even begin to get them from. Thankfully , commercial savvy has now made buying it in ready to use and with a full range of beneficial bacteria ect available in amendments from a grow shop here in the uk. ecothrive have realised the potential for us to dive into this medium with all the mixing , measuring and resourcing. I bit the bullet and £150 later I now have 4 x37Litre pots that will be used for as long as I want to feed the soil for without EVER needing nutrients again potentially. The coco has also had charge mixed in to encourage the bennies to colonize there too. I will be using the shogun nutes that I know do the business with coco to compare with for yield , growth and taste. I have 3 seeds each of 4 Fast Buds Strains to use as a control for the grow and am journaling each strain in their own diaries. This statement will be used to start each one as the information is identical at this point but following this I will do them individually. I am now starting their second week since opening the seed packets , straight into soaked and shook root riot cubes and into the heated propagator. They had all showed their heads by end of day 3 and a couple needed helmet surgery to open up without being hindered . I have has them in the prop for a few days but they needed to get settled as they were popping roots out all over the cubes. They have now been in their final pots for 2 days complete and starting their 3rd today at day 8 since planting in cubes. I am impressed with the speed and success of these girls already (12 of 13 germinated) . Well done fast buds. So here we go folks , any comments , ideas ,questions , advice are always welcome and I hope we can have some fun experimenting with defol v non defol , topping v fimming v bending and any other curiosities along the way. I plan on using a quadline for them all to keep a control for the comparisons too. Be green folks Welcome aboard and a huge thank you to Fast Buds for the opportunity to try autos.

Wishing you all a wonderful week ✨🍀✨ 06/11 day 29 Watered 500ml each pot and sprayed with water and fish mix solution. 08/11 day 31 Girls started growing faster. Good few cm in to all of the directions in one night.

Perfect response on yesterday selective defoliation and stretching. No signs of any stress. Girls are strong 🍌💜👊💪 So far I am very pleased how this grow going 😁 Thank you all for such a amazing support 😊💜 Peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚

I used half the recommended dose of Indo products for each plant through this grow. The monkey juice is half recommended making it every week rather than full dose every two. The sticky bandit was fed with it every week at half dose till later on.

Buenas! Esta semana se encuentran ya terminadas de estirar y produciendo gran cantidad de pistilos, enseguida comenzaran a engordar y rellenar las paredes celulares. Podemos observar los tonos purpuras que estan saliendo de nuestras variedades!! Ahorraremos para un LED que pueda ayudarnos en este armario tan bonito ya que con sodio g/w es un poco escaso hoy en dia.

👹 MonsterMarker – Week 7 | Flowering Start 🌸 This one is a real beast! 🚀 The roots are the most explosive of all my plants – absolutely insane growth underground 🌱. On top, she’s very stocky and strong, which makes me think there’s a lot of Indica genetics in her 🍃💪. The smell is already super nice – deep, rich, and very promising 🌿💨. She feels like she’s building the foundation for some serious flowers. Can’t wait to see how this monster evolves – follow along, it’s going to be fun 👹🔥. --- 👹 MonsterMarker – Woche 7 | Blütebeginn 🌸 Das hier ist echt ein Biest! 🚀 Die Wurzeln sind von allen Pflanzen am krassesten gewachsen – richtig verrücktes Wachstum unter der Erde 🌱. Oben ist sie dagegen sehr stämmig und kompakt, was stark nach einem hohen Indica-Anteil aussieht 🍃💪. Der Geruch ist schon jetzt richtig gut – tief, reichhaltig und sehr vielversprechend 🌿💨. Man merkt, dass sie gerade die Basis für dicke Blüten aufbaut. Bin gespannt, wie sich dieses Monster entwickelt – bleibt dran, das wird spannend 👹🔥.

Wow these girls really filled in this week! Only 5" of vertical growth but the girls are noticably wider and looking more full. Also looking quite healthy with a nice green colour, save for a handful of leaves at the very bottom but that's not uncommon. Still blown away by the amount of roots that have grown out of the base of the fabric pots! Vary thick and tough feeling, but white and healthy looking as ever! Bud sites really starting to come in as we end the week, looks like these girls could have great potential if everything keeps running smooth (knock on wood). Environment has been on point since uprages last week, fans running mostly at a steady 40% with the occasional spike to 60% and keeping the RH within 2% of target. Light is still at 80% and 18" hitting 650-750 umol/s

Day 15 during stretch.

Rolling into week 7. Time to dial down the nutes and start my UVB regiment. I use Reptisun 10.0 bulbs due to LED UV's giving far less than optimal performance. Reptisun 5.0 bulbs work 2. I only run them from week 7 to flush and for only 3 hours a day within the current light cycle. Update day 45: After doing a trichome check, it finished EARLY!! Time to do a quick flush then harvest. I was going to add the nutes to the fresh water today 😂😂

Unbelievable Jeff.... you will love this...

We are really a very short time from the harvest, 5 days compared to the six weeks declared and actually we are. The trichoms and red hair are taking color the plant is mature or still lacks little. The flowers are beautiful, the topping at 16 pounds worked great. There is a scent of paradise, of Pussy of beautiful Ninfa Devvero. LIGHT >> MARSHYDRO SP3000 AT 100% OF POWER, we already like it so much because it covers the intact length of the tent.

HARVEST@DAY84!!! Took way longer than i expected to finish but it was worth it i was going actually going to give it a couple more days to wait for some more brown trichomes but she started to get a few nanna's so i cut her down. i could not tell how chunky the buds really were underneath all of the leaves. thiccness from the main colas all the way down and alot of frost. Smells heavenly. chemical and gassiness. Will absolutely be growing the rest of the seeds i have next time around. She was more sensitive to the light and i topped her a little early are my only complaints. i didnt have a big enough scale so couldnt weigh her wet. will post dried weight. its a nice yeild for me being my first grow. she smells dank Super happy!!!!

Por los vecinos indiscretos habemos tenido cambios muy grandes. He comprado una tienda y un sistema Led PhytoLed Nx2 200 Full Spectrum y con la floración empezando he tenido que tomar la decisión más drástica de los últimos anos. Convertirme del Outdoor de siempre al Indoor. Del Outdoor hemos traído problemas que no teniamos presentes - la existencia de gusanos en el grow que me han atacado los primeiros dias de grow indoor. Las he detectado caso todas pero las hon hojas guias estaban comidas y detecte a tiempo de eliminarla un casulo que no dio en mariposa con mucha suerte mia. Detecte tambien en un estadio temprano algo de Spider mites y una que otra mosca Blanca...uffff...Menudo lio tenia...Pero le he estado combatiendo una guerra sin limites con óleo de neem y buscas dos a tres veces Al dia hoja por hoja y la cosa se ha normalizado un poco...pero sigue la guerra. Además por el tiempo que lleva ya tengo claro que no se trata del strain Dark Purple Auto y si una Northern Light Blue Feminizada o sea una fotoperiodica que tomará sus más de 25 semanas en estar lista a la cosecha. Por lo que este grow se há convertido en una clase practica de grow y un experimento que será muy valioso cara al futuro. A todos los amigos y al dios Jah les pido fuerza, conocimiento y que me apoyeis en los consejos que creais más importantes para que saquemos adelante mi reyna.
