As a first grow I chose to have 2 different Auto Strains from Fastbuds and opted for a Sativa and Indica ... maybe it’s a mistake or maybe not, however do you think I can grow both successfully in a 60x60 tent and how much should I expect to yield with this setup?
I’m not sure since this is my first grow but the young ladies seem to be doing fine and growing daily. Today is day 7 from sprouting and they are forming new nodes. Both plants look similar but the Jack Herer is slightly taller.
🙏 Hopefully they grow up healthy ... will keep you posted
Today is day 14 and IMO they are doing great 😊 they grow everyday and currently they are growing their 4th sets of leaves which seem to have the right amount of fingers :) so I’m assuming (first grow) that all is doing great and the ladies are growing fine.
No nutrients given till today (I’m using a soil mix for cannabis) I read it has enough food in it for the first 4 weeks.
Sometimes I water the girls with aquarium water which I correct with concentrated lemon juice to achieve the correct pH.
This water is rich in nitrates which should aid the first stages of the plants.
What do you think of my modus operandi ? Do I need to change anything ? Are my plants looking healthy? Tell me please in the comments below 🙏
Week 3 has been great with the girls growing new veg every single day
Started using some nutrients and I think they really helped. Today on day 22 I performed some LST, hopefully I have done it right since it’s my very first time.
Day 24 in week 4, after some LST and some defoliation ( one fan leaf from each plant ) done yesterday the plants both seem ok although growth today was less than expected.
Jack Herer is showing pistols ? Seems like however isn’t it early ?
Day 29 These past four days I had some ups and down with the Jack Herer but she seems to be doing fine now. JH is in full pre-flowering mode but the AK hasn’t kicked in yet however it’s growing nicely.
Day 29
Afghan Kush Auto 25cm (LST)
Jack Herer Auto 30cm (LST)
Is it possible that my Jack Herer is flowering on Day 23 ? Have a look at the latest pictures please ? If yes will I have a small yield from this plant ?
Thanks Growmies
Your girls are looking great. I have never grown Jack Herer myself. Flowering after 24 days is not a bad thing. Your dilemma now is to decide when to change over to Bloom nutes. Personally I would stay on Veg for now. At this stage the plants are concentrating on vertical growth. So let them grow and for that they need veg nutes. Let them grow! Unless that is you intend to limit the size of the plants. Once you notice that vertical growth has slowed down or stopped than it is time to change over to Bloom nutes. Then the plant can concentrate its energy on fattening the buds. Wish you luck bro.
A great start to week 5! The Jack Herer is on a stretch and growing taller everyday with buds starting to form. I have done some LST and defoliation to contain it in the limited space while exposing the most flower spots possible.
The Afghan Kush is still in early pre-flowering and has not started to stretch properly however its indica genetics show well and she is short and bushy.
This week I started giving them different nutrients since they are in different stages of their growth. Hopefully I’m doing this right :)
🙏
Day 34
The JH is forming buds after a nice stretch. I try to have as many facing the light as I can and still perform some light LST.
The AK is in pre flowering but slowly coming thru.
Looking forward to see it next week in flowering mode
Day 35
The ladies are doing great on Day 35 which is the last day of week 5.
Next week they should both be in flowering mode ... JH in its second and AK in her first week.
Happy Growing
Some leaf especially where there are the flower spots have yellow tips like in the picture below. I have read it can be caused by different things and it not clear to me what it could be.
What do you think is the problem ? A deficiency or maybe toxicity ?
Please help :)
Hi there I would be tempted to lower your grow nute a tad if I was you, possibly have same amount as your bloom for 2 more weeks then lower grow nute to half bloom nute. Good luck
👉Day 36
JH - buds are forming nicely🤞
AK - preflowering kicked in its a little behind when compared to the JH👌
🔹No water/feed today, pots still heavy from yesterday’s feed.
👉Day 37
JH - Did some defoliation, few leaves here and there to uncover the forming buds.
AK - Stretching up in preflowering mode, a great difference in just 24 hours. I also did some defoliation to this lady.
🔹 Gave them 2L of water each with different nute cocktails.
👉Day 38
The ladies both seem to be doing right and getting bigger. They grew around 5cm between yesterday and today with the AK exposing more nodes to the light and getting more white hairs coming out with the leaves.
🔹 No water today
👉 Day 39
🔹 Gave them 2L of water each with different nute cocktails.
👉 Day 41
🔹 Gave them 2L of water each with different nute cocktails.
🤞 defoliation to both
👉 Day 42
🔹 No water
Last day of Week 6 and I’m happy with the outcome till now. Loads of bud spots coming out for the AK which had also a nice stretch. The JH has seemed to slow vertical growth but pistols are coming out everywhere and the buds are starting to form nice.
They look beautiful 🤩 to look at, is it just me or ? I just gaze at their shapes and amaze myself.
Looking forward to next weeks development which should see the AK advance in flowering mode and the JH increase those bud sizes and form some trichomes.
🎄
Day 43
Start of week 7, had to raise the JH on a box to match the canopy height of the AK which grew too much high these past days with the stretch.
JH has slowed down growth, hopefully I didn’t do any mistakes that caused a stun. AK still has some yellow tips on the new veg.
Checked for water but they are still a little heavy, will skip today and give them PH corrected water tomorrow to flush out nutes and recoup in case of over fertilization.
Day 44
Ladies were thirsty so I gave them only PH corrected water to raise a little the PH levels of the soils and to flush out any extra nutes that were accumulated. Hopefully it’s the right thing to do :) we will wait and see the results in the coming days.
Day 46
A nice stretch from the AK of around 5 cm in 24 hours, still having yellow tips in new Leaves which is worrying but I’m not sure why.
JH is doing fine with buds taking a better shape everyday and now also getting frosty.
A couple of leaves have some bronze spots. It started on one leave and now it’s on two.
No water today nor yesterday.
Day 47
Gave them water but reduced the nutes
🤞🤞🤞
Day 48
AK had an other stretch and seems to be doing good with loads of flowering sites taking shape.
JH The brown patches on some leaves kept growing and now it has many leaves effected however she is doing fine till now and maybe with the low nutes feed I did yesterday + Ph adjust she does better
Two leaves of this Jack Herer Auto have these bronze spots which started small and are getting bigger. What does it indicate ? Should I Worry ? What do you suggest ?
The start of week 8
Day 50
JH - the rusting on the leaves is getting worse especially on the effected leaves, the rest of the plant seems ok. Gave her only water with some epsom salt at around 7.0 ph however the run off was of 5.2 ph so I think she is in nutrient lock out. I’m not sure what to do, at this point she is in full flowering mode if not nearly finished. Trichomes are becoming cloudy so I think she will soon be ready. I will keep giving her only water till the end and will see the results.
AK Is growing white pistols everywhere and had a nice stretch. I gave her water with a small amount of bloom nutrients at around 7 Ph the run off was of 6.1 Ph which is acceptable when compared to the JH but still low.
However this goes ... it’s a learning curve.
Peace out ✌️🏻
DAY 53
Gave them another feed today, JH only water while a light bloom cocktail to madame AK.
JH seems to have stopped the rust / yellow spots that where eating her leaves. The spread seemed to have stopped these days. Buds becoming denser and trichomes turning all milky! 🔜 harvesting this one as soon as I see around 20% amber I’m chopping down.
Day 55
JH is looking great with nice trichomes and smell. The leaves are changing colour to purple and trichomes are becoming more cloudy with some Amber. Very clearly the buds under the light have more trichomes while the ones on the sides have less. Light intensity is key to growing rich buds.
AK also forming nice ... she is around 20 days backwards when compared to the JH although they were planted on the very same day.
Waiting a couple of more days to harvest and the JH and give some space to the AK 👍
Day 56
Last day of week 8 I moved the JH under a different light I bought just for the very last days instead of cutting her. I want to see if it make a difference and fatten those buds :)
AK has still some weeks to go, but now will have the whole tent for itself giving her space and exposing her buds to more light.
🔜
This is the JH trichomes today at Day 57 from seed and day 35 from flowering. I am looking for maximum THC with less couch-lock feeling as I need this as a day strain. Should I harvest it today or tomorrow?
Your plants looking real nice congrats!
The photos are good too.
If you want max THC, you want more of the trichomes to be milky. Like other posters said there are a lot of clear ones in some of the pics. I'm guessing that they are all from different parts of the plant not just the top most growth of the colas?
Cannabis will ripen at the top most buds fist and work its way down the plant.
Some people can harvest the top half first and leave the rest on the plant for another week. This allows the lower branches time to bulk up and turn from clear to milky.
Its an option for you if you wanted to try something new.
OR
If you realty wanted to. You could chop right now but you would loose out a bit. how much IDK.
The more amber the more couch lock. But if the amber is just on the sugar leaves and not the buds so much you have some time and will trim them off anyways.
Best of luck and Happy Growing!
Week 9
Day 57
JH - I moved the plant to a different room and under a new light I bought the ES 300v3. The last days this lady is going to make them under wide band light 🔝🔝🔝
AK - Has gained space having the tent all hers. She is forming buds and now is more exposed to the light so I’m assuming it will yield more.
Day 59
JH - I’m running out of weed, and the time has come for this lady to be chopped down. Trichomes and pistols indicating she is nearly ripe, I would leave her some more days but I also believe it ready as is. Tomorrow on Day 60 I will harvest her.
AK - Gave her water with nutes today. She is budding all over and has some yellowing in the lower leaves. I defoliated some of the yellow leaves before watering. We will see how she does.
Day 61
AK - No water or feed today. I’m seeing a lot of purple today :) and less yellow in the leaves. Buds filling up with more pistils. 🤞🤞🤞
Day 62
AK - Gave her only water today
A very fast grow, strain responded well to LST and kept on the short side not exceeding 70cm in height. A bit bushy and one needs to keep doing defoliation especially if confined in a tight space.
All in all a great first grow! Great seeds from FastBuds I highly recommend 💪💪💪
Day 64
Some more yellowing in the leaves guess the flush I gave her did not give me the desired effects however I read in various blogs and articles that at this point it’s also natural for them to yellow some leaves as they would be absorbing nutrients stored in them. Buds look slowing down their build up however leaves around buds changing colour to purple and look fantastic.
Day 66
She needed water and feed today! Gave her water at 6.7Ph and run off was of 5.2Ph
Day 69
Watering day today as the lady is thirsty. This time round I gave her water only at 6.3pH which gave me a run off of 5.2pH. Buds looking a little bit bigger and trichomes started to populate the buds.
Day 71
Today marks the start of week 11 and by the looks of her, she might be ready for harvest soon.
Day 73
Watering day! 2L of water at Ph 6.3. Trichomes are nearly a 100% milky but will wait for a good amount to be Amber to harvest this one. I’m so excited 😆 to puff her up 🔝🔜
Day 76
Watered today again with no nutes to continue with the flush. Trichomes started to turn Amber but only a few here and there. Will keep her going some more days.
Day 78
Waiting a couple of more days to see more trichomes turn Amber. Buds are hard to press and full of trichomes on the inside. 🔝🔜👍
Day 80
Still waiting 😏
