Day 1 - Afghan Kush Auto DWC from Fastbuds
I see that of the new Originals varieties that not many Diaries on here choose this Afghan Kush Auto. It strikes me as odd that there is not many more growers of this strain.
The level of detail in this Diary will be like all my rest. If you follow along in DWC, you will grow a monster plant!
a. Soaked Rockwool cube for 1 hr in 6.0PH water
b. inserted dry seed into Rockwool cube
c. placed into tent, into humidity pod which is 80% humidity, and 22 degrees
Day 2 - resting nicely
a. the humidity pod method works very well for rockwool
b. I give the cube a few seconds of fresh air a day just to circulate, not adding any extra water to the cube
c. I decided to start this seed with 6.0 plain mineral water instead of nutrients. In my experience Afghan Kush can be a bit picky at first with strong soil/nutrients/rooting cube. I usually use a root riot cube, but for this one no.
d. in 7 days she will emerge as a small seedling.
Day 3 - she is in her forever tent
a. we will be using the same tent and light as Gorilla Cookies, and likely the same schedule for feeding.
b. my region is starting to become very cold, and our little tent is out in our barn, so the light will help keep the temperatures always in range, no ventilation right now, 24 hours light.
Day 4 - she has germinated
a. looked down into the cube and there is a huge white root growing
b. day 7 she will go in the DWC likely
Day 5 - beginning to appear
a. the plant is making her appearance
b. 24 hours light keeps the tent temperatures where they need to be consistently.
c. gave her 5ml of PH 6.0 water on the rockwool
Day 6 - she made her debut!
a. Afghan Kush is up and ready!
b. there is a nice root out of the bottom, in 2 days she will go into the DWC
Day 7 - like clockwork we have a beautiful healthy sprout
a. keeping her in the humidity pod at the moment, the temps are 21 degrees and 90% humidity, perfect for her growth
b. tomorrow I may put her in the DWC, I may not depending on the root development on the bottom of the rockwool cube
@Fast_Buds, I just grew your Gorilla Cookies and the harvest was awesome, also growing Bruce Banner, looks like it will be another great plant! Looking forward to seeing the Afghan Kush take off!
@DEVS_GENETICS, I am also seeing this Afghan being VERY hungry, I have seen her filter feed the water extensively... 500ppm in 3 days. Im going to bomb this one really hard with flowering nutrients when I change out the pool. This is also my longest vegging auto too, and I am still hitting hard with grow nutrients until I see the actual buds form.
@SwissKush, Thanks for the info. Really I have no idea how much longer. I’ve never had a Auto stay in veg for this long. I was talking to another grower and he said he noticed it with Fast Buds new strains. I guess patients is all we can do!
@DEVS_GENETICS, I am thinking that the "new line of legends" from FastBuds are all like this. I just grew Bruce Banner and saw a very long veg period also. Bruce Banner is a very strong strain, I expect the Afghan to be similar. I guess patience will help us all! Not so "fast" buds anymore.
I like your plant, its very natural looking! Ive been grooming mine with selective defoliation, about 12 large bottom leaves removed, and now 8 main stem fan leaves to flatten out the canopy and form multiple main colas. Its like topping, but less stressful. ive done it the past 3 FastBuds plants, and they seem to love it. Best of luck!
How much longer do you think you have? I think I have 9 more weeks.
Удачи тебе, Братан. Ровного цикла. На счёт холода: нет возможности поставить обогреватель на время сна девчонки? Режим 24/0 все таки не очень, я думаю. Всем нужен отдых., послежу за твоими успехами👍🏻
