Day 43 - growing very well
a. the plant is growing great under the 24 hours of lighting, I added .5 ml/L of CalMag to the water, it was testing very low at only 60ppm.
b. the temperatures are remaining nice around 20 degrees in the day, and at night holding at 17, when it is 1 degree outside.
c. I will be feeding this plant much lighter than I usually feed. I feel like Kush plants benefit more from a lighter feed
Day 44 - really expanding very well
a. she is expanding in every direction, growing very well, eating alot of nutrients
Day 45
a. growth explosion
b. yesterday I removed all of the 1st node runt branches that will amount to nothing, but steal energy from the top buds, works well
c. temperatures are becoming low in our box, I noticed she still survives fine at 16 degrees
Day 46 - activated ventilation today
a. the humidity was starting to get around 80% in box, switch vents on, makes 60% in box
b. the flowering sites are beginning to show, i removed the top large fan leaves, leveling the canopy
c. I will be adjusting nutrients soon
Day 47 - growing really well
a. the buds on this plant are going to be very large
b. I will be adding the preflowering today, splitting the GH Bloom and Kool Bloom dosages.
c. the temperatures are holding nice and warm with ventilation on, averaging 18 degrees, 60% humidity
Day 48 - everything is great
a. adding the big dose of nutrients is noticeable
b. I always see a massive growth over the next week
c. there are preflower sites everywhere, the buds will be quite large
Day 49 - finishing a strong week, next week she will explode, Fastbuds always do in this tent!
a. preflowering has started, the next 2 weeks will be increased nutrients.
b. time to get the flowers rolling, the limbs are begging to bloom
c. the canopy is very flat, and there aren't any signs of deficiencies
d. defoliated all of the massive under fan leaves that dont get any light anymore, helps with airflow
@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👍🏻
