All 3 girls survived and germinated well! I remeber i made a mistake from the start, i didnt ph my water and it were around 7.8ph😐 but genetics and resiliance came through and girls are doing wonderfull!!!
Started week 3. I dunno what is happening with #3, maybe autotop? Did lst the 1 big fan leaf down.
#1 and #2 got topped. #2 is showing quite bad nute burns but only on 2 bottom leaves. (edit: i cut the nute burnt leaves)
could have been mold or smth but i doubt it cos my air moves like usain bolt
Any advice, tips and tricks would be awesome!
week3 day2: so i did some measurements because smth funky was happening in #1 n #2. they were both showing signs of nute burn despite quite low feeding. so the runoff water was for plant #1 7.4 pH😮(watered all plants with ph water of 5.7) plant #2 was pH6.4 n #3 pH6.7
and the runoff was ppm around 1000. (thc m0use for recomending cheking ppm:D). so i have clearly overfed or they werent using the nutes properly due to ph or smth. runoff water was quite red also! could the Bloom nute do that😏 pics coming later this week!
So day 21. Made a lil calculation error😁 nothing much happening but good things now! Massive growth and they all happy❤️
Tomorrow is watering day and ill check the ppm and ph.
1st time grower here! I would like to get some opinions on my choices and the look of the plant at day 15. i have no preference so personalized comments would be amazing!
strain is wedding glue auto FB
Your grow is looking proper to me. just a few suggestions if they are possible.
I would try and lower the temps a bit during the day and night. Max 26c/78.8f day max 18c/64.4f night.
I'd also lower the temperature of solution your feeding to 18-21c/64.4-69.8f
You will want to invest in the TDS pen that can read EC/PPM when using liquid feed, it will be a helpful diagnostic tool if things get a little weird.
Other then that your on track for a great grow. GH nutes are a good set as well. lots of options there.
Keep us posted on how everything goes in your diary.
The community here is quite helpful at times.
Happy Growing!
Mutation very strange, hard to see, but it looks like plant definitely toped himself, this auto has potential to be the best or the worst ;))) treat her normally, don't top or harm, bend her to expose side branches after 7-10 days, wen she will get what to bent and what to expose ;)
Autos are short-lived and I honestly see 90 %of fails while trying to train them heavy than any success. To me it looks that people would have always 2 ounces from a plant without any, but they keep training stupidly and get an ounce. Yes, maybe plant looks funky, maybe those few branches without even last few leaves are looking great in photos, but it is still a pitty result in most trained auto plant diaries.
I have itchy fingers too, constantly want to improve or upgrade something, but it took me time to understand how plants behave in certain conditions, what will be aftermath of my actions and etc.
Less is more , that rule should be engraved above every entry to grow room ;)))
All the Best !!!
Day 23:Everything going well in my eyes😁
Day 25: Everything seems good today aswell😁 seems like ladies are kicking in preflower and getting huge growth spurts!
Been feeding 0.6-0.8L water each day per plant, feed water feed water.. pH of water is around 5.5 and 6.5. i try to get dif ph every watering. Would love tips or comments on the scrog!
DAY 26: no pics today but gave them micro 1.5ml/L grow 1.5ml/L and bloom 1ml/L, also calmag .8ml/l and pH was 6.1. hopefully they will react properly and eat up😋
Day 27: aprox. 12h after heavier feed and girla havent reacted bad neither that well😁 gotta wait and see the results
I've not yet SCROG on autos.
They tend to flower whenever they want and my understanding is that you need to control the switch to flower to fully utilize SCROG.
When they stretch up into it, just thread them in the mesh till flower and then let them go.
I'd also strip the lower branches and bud sites so they focus on the main ones if it was going to do it.
However I don't think I would SCROG on autos.
Good Luck!
Day 30: Girls are stretching and starting flower😇 pots are getting dry quick so maybe ill have to up water to 1.2l once a day or even out through out the day🤔
Day 31: Gave about 1.3L feeding to all girls! made sure to hydrate coco all the way and gave some water to watertray so they can suck it up if they are still hungry! i cheked ppm on my water but didnt check runoff yet. ppm was 900 with 0.5 convert. ph around 6. will add pics later or tmrw😎
Day 32: gave girls little lighter feeding, around 3ml/L GH nutes b clmag.
I was too lazy to take proper pics with better light so took a vid instead😁
Day 33: i was thinking of pinning the tallest cola to scrog but decided against it. Mainly because these girls are doing very well, and my only consern is light burn. I cant get my light as high as i want to, cos my tent is only 180cm and got filter above my light. I think ill need yo setup next grow so my filter is outside of the tent🤔 thx for all commentors on my growquestion/diary! Made my day to hear my babies are doing well without any bigger problems😁💚 Edit: did some LST on bigger colas to avoid lightburn since these girls are strecthing almost 5cm a day😁 hopefully they will keep the same energy on developing buds😉 I checked ppm and pH from runoff; #1 ppm 750 ph 6.6 #2 ppm 750 ph 6.5 #3 ph 6.4 ppm 750 (all ppm converts were made on 0.5 rate) Gonna give low ph watering next day
Day 34: Good morning growers😎 this morning i gave my girls quite an heavy feed, 6ml calmag, micro, bloom and 3 ml gro into 5 or so litres. pH around 5.7 and ppm 1100 with 0.5. Pics are coming later afternoon with some runoff numbers😎 stay lifted💚
Hello fellow growers! Im in need of tips what steps to take next for proper and snowy buds! I think i need to defoliate or lollipop but would love to take this communitys opinion on this since dis mah first bbys😇
Specific to you’re grow.. I would not defoliate. If you wanna take some of the lower growth off each branch that can be helpful to not waste plants energy on that growth.
Just make sure your environment is on point. Look up VPD charts and try to stay in the sweet spot depending on temp and RH.
Reference your lights par map and make sure you’re getting plenty of light but not overdoing it. I’d go for around 6-800 umols at the canopy if your at 18/6 light cycle
Hey, is it ok to LST autos on preflower? Or will tied areas n string come in the way? Kinda hard to see where i tied em but all of em big colas are tied to scrog😁
One love💚
That's flowering mate ;)))
It's ok to train your plant through all grow cycle ...
Just do all training applications straight before watering, less broken branches ;))
All the Best !!!
GOOD MORNING VIETNAM😈💚
Week 6
Day 35: Pics from this noon. Mutants main cola is strecthing like crazy😁 like 30 cm in a week. Not as many white pistils as the other 2 girls. Tb; i topped the 2 other ones.
I'm lil worried mutant cola will continue streching till it hits light😁 they continue drinking lots of nute water and no complaints yet😎 One love 💚
Day 37: no nute burn!! I was fully expectin bad nute burn when i fed them on 1600ppm😁 but they seemed to be ok with it ä, although i gave them ph water the next day (36). I might be dumb but seeing the girls are not showing any sings of slowing down or nute burning and all checks out, i gave 900ppm feeding. ( All cal w 0.5 ). Colas have starting to see first snow💚
Day 38: Morning fellow greenthumbs💚
Today i defoliated #3 mutant, did some lst aswell. Gave feeding of 1.9 ec ph 5.7. checked runoff and came as 6.3 and ec 1.9 (might be high from 1600ppm feed😂) no signs of lockout or burns👌👌snapped brach yesterday cos forgot not to train after watering🙁 but got it taped up really quickly and seems like it has maked a recovery😇
Day 39: Had quite busy day as i germinated 2 other strains so no pics. Gave girls ph water of 5.9, 1.8L per gal. No news, mutant is streching but 1 and 2 are full flower and fattening sites😎💚
Day 40: gave #3 and #1 feeding and ph 6.3. skipped plant 2 cos pot was heavy and had still lil bit of runoff. Amazing budsite and frostness development! Even the fan leaves are getting real frosty❄️😎
Day 43: All good , giving 5.9ph 900ppm feedings and check runoff. Beatiful snowy tops😍
Hey! Would love some knowledge tips and opinnions on my diary and plants! Also i have changed my feeding to quite heavy feed, dangerous?
Top cola 1000umol pps
Scrog height 500umol pps
1600 TDS on an auto??
Tone it back.
max 900PPM if the plant can take it. most can't.
best to lower it down to 600-650ppm.
once you go over 900PPFD in light for cannabis you need to supplement CO2
I would aim for 700-800ppfd in peak flower on the canopy and bend that one cola down to match its height.
again not all plants like this much and you will need to watch for signs of light burning.
Your temps are looking great BTW.
RH is ok for now. Will want it in the 40's when you get into weak 7 and onward.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Good Luck and Happy Growing!
Day 45: just a quick vid. Been busy soz for posting so little.
Day 46: Buds are densing up and mutant is doing mutant things. Lightburn is an issue
Day 47: today i tried to fix the mutant problem. Its growing wayy to big for my small 180cm tall tent. Broke one of my light hangers when i tried to tighten it😑 also did some lst but i think the battle might be Lost on this one. Any advice is taken! Other than that, #1 n #2 are doing pretty well. Buds are densing but not at the rate i would want. Might be Bcos my light only draws 200w from wall.
Day 48: these ladies are getting frosty swear to god if my light doesnt pull enough watts to dense the nugs, im callbombing spiderfarm till i get new light🌚
I’m not seeing any bleaching so tbh they’re not gonna be lost. If you can raise your lights a few more inches they should be good since I think your stretch is over. Currently my plants have a couple branches within 8-10 inches of my light and I am not seeing any adverse affects. Just watch your daytime temp along with light distance so that the leaf temp doesn’t get too high on the close buds.
Well met fellow growers 🌵💚
Day 53: slight lightburn on mutant cos akmost touching light. I would have HST the cola down if my irl fellow grower said if the light doesnt burn my hand it wont burn the cola badly😁 well it has slighty, but def better than potentially losing the whole cola.
Other than that, lil bit of nute burn? Atleast i think so, will cut to amaller feedings. I fear that my offbrand light might not pull the watts i would need 😕
Day 54: Started to see lil nute burn and quite dark green tint on leaves so im thinking it might b nitrogen toxicity. Did. 2ml/L flashclean 1.2l for all. Gonna feed just ph water tomorrow snd check runoff, hope everything is well and i havent managed to lock these babies😉
Day 55: so after flashclean i gave girls 3l each ph water at 6.3. #1 came out 2.8ec and ph 5.8 #2 3.8ec and ph 4.6😳 #3(mutant) came out as 6.5ph and ec 1.8. they seem to do well but i gotta take a break from feeds w 1 and 2
Day 56: Despite horrible ec and ph readings on #1 and #2, they are doing just fine by the looks of it😅 either FB breeds the most beastly resistant seeds or my shit needs calibration. Prolly both tbh😂
Buds seem to get bigger and the smell is growing day by day. I already get pretty strong vanilla and pine?? Smell😍 hopefully the flashclean was right move to do! I think there may have been some lockout happening in all of em and thats why my runoff came that high. I hope flashclean got rid of the most overfed nutes🙏
Your diary is looking good and so are the plants!
I did notice one thing though that maybe your want to try.
When growing in hydro its good practice to raise the PH up to 6.2-6.3 in flower and keep your EC from spiking to much with an autos. They dislike strong feeds.
I would be careful not to blindly spike P and K nutrients like suggested below with out keeping your EC in check. If its not monitored that can cause other issues.
this is a good reference point for auto feeding strengths. its not 100% and you will need to adjust if you plants are showing signs of wanting more or less.

Best Of Luck and Happy Growing!
Checked my #1 n #2 plant runoff. Got ph 4.4 and ec 3.0 t worst. Plants seem to do ok tho🤔 any ideas what to do and how could they b ok on that high ppm and low ph
How is your PH getting that low. If it's from the run-off then it's simple. That isn't a true reading. If you aren't making a mix then say add too much of one nute over another, say 100ml of 1 300ml of another well, the PH of that 300ml will effect the PH/PPM of the other reading, only real results that you can count on from run-off if is when being applied they are all mixed and after that pour to the tests. And I'd flush your sub after a few days of feeds to get the salts out and avoid nute lockout. If you read my PPM for my zkittlez hydro it was 8500 and I thought that had to be wrong, but my friends much better PPM gave 8550. And no way was I giving them that the highest was 1400 it was a thing of me not changing the run-off for over 2 weeks and roots were drinking from the plate but clearly there was nute lockout and was only taking up mostly water, I'm putting this down to some advice I got to add a higher PPM and I broke my routine of just adding my mix and too much of 2 nutes locked out my whole mix, I just caught it in time. As my plant was starting to get very light green and starting showing slight signs of 'the claw"
You have 2 to 3 weeks depending on your desired ripeness of trichromes. Best is to aquire a jeweler's loupe that has a 60x magnification and light. They are inexpensive. Look at trichromes on buds not leaves. Ideal for my harvest is about 75 to 85 percent cloudy trichromes with rest amber. Plant will ripen from top down in trichromes color. Best to look at several spots when deciding. Another way is when mass of white pistils are brown or orange. Then it is about 2 weeks from then. Harvesting early is a very common mistake. Enjoy the harvest soon.🌱
To me it looks done, the rest of the will turn cloudy if the llight milky/clear during the flush and the rest dark period if you done one. So to a 1.5-2 week flush and she'll sort herself out between then. Lovely looking grow my man.
Oh boy my first ever harvest is making its way💜💚
Day 61: So these girls have been fattening their budsites and #3 isnt mad about how close the light is😅 these plants have really strong resistance and amazing genetics 🔥
On that note highly recommend Fastbuds seeds. First ever grow and these seed did not let me down. Amazing frost, incredible resistance againts overfeed and high temp (also low).
Plant #1 and #2 are further into flower than #3. 3 has still almost 90% white hairs and definitely non tris that are cloudy. 1 and 2 however have almost all hairs turned to beatiful dark orange🧡 They still have ways to go before harvest. Might start flushing soon.
Day 63: Morning fellow growers 🌅 💜
Checked trichomes this morning with my quite annoying small ass 30x lens. Almost impossible to see them but by the looks of it, atleast on lower buds almost all of em al clear. So imo they have still time to get fat 😎 i think ill start flushing when i see cloudy tris on top buds atleast 90% and chop down when 75/25 cloud/amber.
So far my first grow has gone very well all things considered! What to remeber to do for my cookies and runtz, is that i will keep the cannopy level so i dont have one 120cm plant and two 60cm plants😂 also i have doubts about my offbrand light. Prolly will see 2 harvests trough and see if both times i get skinny nugs i will switch it out😎 stay lifted💚
Day 66: harvest is getting closer but seems like trichomes are mostly glassy still. Been feeding normally but cut the gro out this week. So only calmabg bloom and micra. Ph round 6.1. It seems like buds wont get that much denser or wont do much anymore. Would love some opinions what to do at this point!
Edit: since growquestions are bugging, decided to harvest 1 top from 2 plants. Just to see hows the high and some closer looks. Seems like i might be a day or two early for my liking but opinions and comments are appreciated 💚
Hello growers🌅💚
Harvest is making its way and would love to get pros opinion when to chop and do i flush, if so when? And all around comments on first grow are appreciated if u have the time 💚
I see some amber trichomes, but its not completely ripe judging from the "66" pictures. I would check everyday based on those pictures and I would plan harvest when ~30% are amber. It seems you may be very close to your harvest period, so if you planned on flushing, now would be the time. Its said that you don't need to flush when running organics, but if you are running something else, you may not want to be smoking your nutes.
I'm not a big fan of flushing. I don't feel the plants need it.
But if you wanted to do it. They say its 5-10 days before you plan on chopping.
ph's water.
Good Luck!
The plant with my hand behind it might be further from chop. Seems like almost all hairs are still white. But 2 other plants seem quite ready to my eyes
Hello fellow growers!
im not sure if gq:s are getting through but ill try again:D Im in need of pros opinion when to chop my bbys and do i flush them, if so when? Also every comment is appreciated if u have the time<3
I'm not a big fan of flushing. I don't feel the plants need it.
But if you wanted to do it. They say its 5-10 days before you plan on chopping.
ph's water.
also you are right questions where not updating for a few days.
Good Luck!
Good "week" my fellow growers💚
Day 66: Im confused about the days and weeks so decided this is the day that week 10 starts🌚
Started flushing yesterday giving only calmag, will start flashklean today. Like i said in last post i decided to harvest 2 tops from plants #1 and #2. The high is amazing head high ive never felt before🙏quite potent even though they arent quite ripe yet😁 Im really exited for this harvest and what kinda high more mature plant brings🤤
My qg bugged in last 2 days but lets try again:D
Ive started flushing my plants, planning to harvest on 6th day so on day 70. Do tou guys think they will bulk up or have enough time?
ok,
I can tell you straight away that the bud in green is nowhere ready. You must look for a consistent cloudy set of trichomes all over the plant and bud sites. Check the flowers with a lens or portable microscope. the more clear trichomes you will see the longer you will need to wait. I may be wrong, but I think you pulled the trigger a bit early.
Faaking hell i wrote my essay on wrong comment section🌚
Had to postpone this update cos my babies were super smelly and caused some issues 🌚 lil early harvest but very pleased with my first grow💚💚💚💚
Edit: ya so the smell kinda prevents me from trimming the whole batch:D thats quite annoying but tells u something about the turps😁😁
