Balcony Auto Grow

Now my Baby LemonPie has emerged I will be feeding my supersoil once a week with my own personal blend of KNF ingredients I have pre made and Ecothrive Biosys. I plan to do this until finish without anything else. The soil has been made using a mix of coco, soil, compost, perlite, vermiculite, a hydrocorn pebble base and charged with Ecothrive life cycle in a 40l fabric pot. I have also pre prepared pot back in feb and planted cover crop of white 🍀

Not a great spring in my part of world and cold weather is worrying me! Will consider installing heater to try to warm greenhouse and in turn warm soil. But apart from the cold this girl seems to be holding up ok 👌. Again just a basic feed to supersoil medium once a week with my own blend of home made solutions with a little added microbiology from the Ecothrive team 😉. Cover crop of clover ☘️🍀doing very good and looking healthy so can only assume the soil is on point and cooked up well. I have no ppm meter and only a very basic ph prob meter so completely reliable upon the organics to balance things out for this girl….the story will continue! Peace ✌️

Again another cold week here and growth overall quite slow! I can only put this down to temps as I know these 🔥420FastBuds genetics will grow rapidly given the optimum conditions. This the first time I have done anything outside so learning that I maybe needing to use some supplemental equipment to create the ideal microclimate for these lemons 🍋 to grow into prize winning nugs!!! Looking healthy again just feeding once per week and spraying foliage with same solution once per week!

Overall a good week…no issues and starting to look healthier as each day passes. Very sturdy and could probably start to train her at this stage but still in two minds on letting her grow out or assist her with some LST??? Anyway that will be decided as I go and on how she proceeds to grow….Finally installed tube heater I found in my tool bag! Gotta love a freebie. Hopefully this will warm soil and help to speed up growth 🤞. Also had some tomatoes come over to visit and spend a couple of nights in support and to keep our young girl happy😂😂😂

Wow, heater installation seems to have really helped and this girl starting to speed up now. One leaf did grow to close to heater and slightly burned but should be ok now moved away. Finally decided to LST due to limited space in my Tiny Little greenhouse. She has responded well to both extra heat and the training so will continue to tie down until flower and then install scrog net to even out canopy. All going to plan and very happy with results so far.

Another good week! Outside temps not affecting greenhouse climate and plant looking very healthy and happy. LST helping in forcing them new growth sites as pics show. And started defoliation on lower the lower leafs. Maybe should have waited but I felt they need to come off….any feedback from anyone on this would be appreciated 👍✌️

😊😊😊 very happy with growth this week and plant seems to be getting stronger with each passing day. Have had an infestation of gnat flys due to organic materials still decomposing in pot so installed fly traps to help, but being outside I think I’ll struggle to keep them away. On the subject of pests I have had soo many slugs I have been fighting off! Even being on a balcony two stories up they still seem to be able to get to the pot! I’ve been lucky to date with nothing damaged apart from some clover but this would be a complete disaster if they get hold of the LemonPie 😬 I will keep checking pot for slug trails. ✌️

Still having gnat fly issues and poor start to summer but overall good week for this Girl. She really in cruise control now and very little maintenance from my side. Will be making some small amendments to pot and greenhouse setup to accommodate for some reflection sheets and for LED Cree cob light for flowering. Still only running a small LED light and using sunlight to grow this girl and she loving it. ☀️☀️☀️

I’m a bit surprised that we are only staring to go into flower after 9weeks but I am still putting this down to a cold start. Also maybe the supersoil was not quite cooked enough to release the slow release nutes??? I’m still puzzled 🤔. No complaints from my side as it has given me time to shape plant just the way I want to for better airflow and overall better bud sites. Lovely looking plant and I’m now looking forward to get some terps leaching out each time I’m out on balcony. ✌️

10th week and was expecting to be at harvest time around now! Lol….I can only dream. Not anywhere near the finish line yet but she is doing well. Staring to smell a bit now and really response well to small defoliation and LST. ✌️

Very happy with progress this week…🔥420 FastBuds genetics🔥 Used a scrog net to hold plant in final position until harvest…has definitely improved canopy and allowed for better airflow…plant looks like bonsai before it went in, lol 😂 not intended! Probably a bit late to supplement with PK but as I had it laying around I felt the extra on top of my normal feed would be ok👌🤞. Also top dress pot with worm humus from biobizz. Responded well to extra PK in feed mix, a little curling upwards of main colas leafs at top bud site but not too concerned as will be flushing within the next week or so.

This girl now stacking and putting on some weight 😊😊😊 gonna start to flush into week 13 as last feed really made her leafs curl up. Just plain water for next week and she should be about ready to come down. These nugs are absolutely covered and dripping in resin! She still very green but has been put out some pink stems on fan leafs since she went into flower. Also the once bright white pistils are now yellow and starting to turn pink, red, on range and bronwns. The tops also look very uniformed on side stems. Main coals seems to be putting em out all over when looked at from underneath!!! There’s a slight citrus but mainly sweet smell coming from her. Actually smells like a jar of candy 🍬 or some kinda cake . I’m sure the flush will just add to what she got going already. Very excited 😆 to try this one! Hope she puts on a bits more but itching to get her down

Have fed just water twice this week. Slow to mature but very nearly there. Gave her a trim to make it easier for harvest. As I will be putting into darkness for 2days from tomorrow. Doesn’t look like a massive yield but buds really dense despite the hot weather. They are covered in milky to clear trics but want to leave so all are milky and touching a few ambers. Wanted to try some that was cut a bit earlier then the rest so harvested 2 x stems. Was around 19g combined wet weight and around 13g after trim but still on stems so hoping for 2-3g dried 🤞. Harvesting will come in at 15 weeks from seed so quite a bit longer then expected but given the makeshift setup I think she performed really well. Will give a full report on the Harvest log ✌️ I have put harvest photos on this week as will give more details on next log as not yet smoked any! Just over 100g of trimmed but still wet bud! Now drying being hung for approx 7days. Didn’t weigh whole plant but stems weight was 120g and didn’t weigh trim but in freezer for hash run and will put it on scales then.

Small project in makeshift tent! Very pleased with quality of strain and will definitely grow again. Hopefully I get more next time ✌️
