Germination was fine, taprouted grew fast in the paper towel, faster than any other I’ve done before. Really exited for this one, planning to try topping and mainling one of them, we will see what happens. Have the TS1000 at 30% and temp at 80°F and humidity 80-85%. Small humidifier (humidity)and small oil filled radiator (heating) and a 6 inch fan for air extraction, I have a 4 inch inline fan and carbon filter currently in my drying tent where I have RQS Quick One currently undergoing 48 hours darkness before the big chop. All plants seemed eager to grow so far with them sprouting up out the soil the very next day after planting.
Counting day 1 as the day it sprouted. Don’t have any images from Day 1 and Day 2. All plants sprouted the same day but plant 1 didn’t manage to get the shell off on its own so I had to help. I think that’s maybe why it is the smaller one so far.
Some growth but still, not as quick as I’d like. Week 3 and still small, seen some peoples plants way bigger at this stage. If could nail the first few weeks and have the plant not get stunted then would be happy.
Starting to see some good growth now finally!! Sadly it was clear that #1 wasn’t going to make it so it was threw away and replaced with the Girl Scout Cookie auto from The Barker Seeds Co.
#2 has been topped and LST started. #3 is just having LST and is not topped. GSC is just having LST done.
LST is going very nice and #2 has taken the topping well. As you can see, the auto flowers aren’t the only plants I have. I have a strawberry cough that will be flowering soon, meaning that the strawberry pie and GSC will be finished under 12 hours of light.
This week may possibly be last week of veg as we are now seeing pistols popping. Have moved the tent around a few times. This is also the last week with 18/6 light cycle as have flipped to 12/12 to flower other plants in the tent.
First off I have switched to remo nutrients! Seen good things with them and for the price thought I’d give them a shot.
First week of flower. Starting to see where I’ll have some nice buds. Second grow but feel I’ve done much better with training these. Done a nice defoliation at the end of the week and got some branches tied down.
Had a good week, #3 is noticeably doing better than #2. Don’t think I’ll opt to top an auto again. It’s a shame that the strawberry cough is taking most of the light for flowering. May be getting a new light in new few weeks so may be able to finish these in a different tent with better light cycle and closer light
Not seen as much bud development as I thought I would have upto now. Trichomes on #3 is amazing way more than #2. As mentioned in previous weeks comments this week is a big week. As you may have seen I have been using the TS1000 for veg and flower upto now. I now have a FC-E4800 from Mars hydro. As these plants are in the corner and side of my grow tent they will be getting a lot more light than the ts1000 was able to offer. Exited for future runs with this light!
#2 is slowly getting there and becoming more frosty. It will never get as frosty as #3 but still looks good. #3’s pistols are turning orange where as #2 isn’t. The buds on #3 also look visibly better and more weighty, even tho it’s self isn’t a great deal in terms of bud size. Into week 12 now and that’s concerning as fastbuds say 8/9 weeks 😂 and I’m no where near done. I guess that’s my fault tho. Hoping the can put some weight on in next few weeks, waiting to see some orange trichomes and I’ll start flushing.
#3 was flushed as I think only about 3 weeks to go. That’s crazy, almost twice as long as fastbuds advertise.
This weeks been abit more promising. Considering only giving them 12 hours light they aren’t doing too bad. I’ll have enough to smoke until the strawberry cough is ready for harvest atleast lol. Getting very exited to try these now.
#3 is so closed. Trichomes are all cloudy with a a good 10% amber. Going off trichomes, #2 looks a little behind although it has denser buds. #3 was flushed and very quickly it’s leaves started to change colours.
That's not an auto. I've grown strawberry pie autos before and the first clue is if you have to change your light schedule to get out of veg then it's a photo. Nice plants, I just stopped by to see how your auto compared. 👍
@Loserofthemonth, HIya thanks for checking out my diary! I can confirm that this is infact an auto, i flipped my photos into flower days after noticing pistols forming on the plant.
