Fastbuds was nice enough to send me a few samples of some of there phenomenal looking products to grow. For the first diary I decided to go with Mimosa Cake because the pictures I've seen of it looked amazing. Now it's currently in a 4.3" pot with Happy Frog soil, ones the plant has sprouted its second set of 5 point leaves I'll transfer it to a 2 gal plastic pot with 90% ocean forest soil and 10% perlite. Now I know a lot of people say you should plant them directly in the final size pot after the jiffy pots, but this is how I do my outdoor autos And they turned out great. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

So the plants has been transferred to a 2gal fabric pot with a 90/10 ocean forest soil and perlite. The soil looks a bit dry in the pics but I just gave it 1L of water with micro biomass. I've got a humidifier in the tent to get the humidity up, but it's lower then I'd like at this stage, seems to be a reoccurring problem for me lol. Have to say, I started germinating this seed a few days after my other plants in this tent and its looking a lot nicer then the rest. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!!

Well this last week as had a nice amount of growth. Plant got some fiming yesterday to do atleast a bit of training before it goes to flower. That's the one thing I don't like about autos is that its hard to judge how much time you have to train before it goes to flower. Where as with photo seeds you can give yourself as much time as you need. This plant is in my opinion the nicest looko g plant in the tent so far. Especially since its a few days behind the others. Ive got to do a bit of rearrange in the tent sometime in the next few days. Make some room for when they start to grow. I had picked up a few saucers for them to set on but I had gotten the wrong size lol. I was still thinking of using them because it give them some lower airflow on the lower sides/bottom of the fabric pots. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

Plant looks like she's starring the first stages of flower today, two days after I fimed her lol. She is looking really healthy and growing fast. Now being that she's in a small tent with 2 other plants keeping her small is one of my goals so that she doesn't out grow the rest or the tent. Going to start feeding with green planet GP3 and a few additives in the next few days as well as continue giving them microbio mass ones a week. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone

So much like the fast eddy in one of my other diaries, this plant is a lot further along the 1 week into flower. I should have been paying a bit closer attention to this plant then I was and noticed it was further along. Didn't get very tall before it switched to flower that's for sure. Not sure if it was something I did or if that's how it goes lol. The feed is split between 3 plants and I mix up roughly 3L at a time. Each plant gets between 2 and 3 cups each, I usually have some left over that I use the next day. The microbio mass only gets used ones a week. I've got a exhale bag in the tent and it's hard to tell if it's doing anything. The 4" duct fan only runs for a few mins every few hours and I've got a 4" muffin fan pulling in fresh air. Well that's all for now, happy growing everyone!!!

So.... this plant is definitely probably closer to week 3-4 of bloom then week 2 lol. Plan on just growing Autos in this tent for the next year so going to have to get used to watching for the switch over lol grown to used to flipping the flowers and knowing there in flower that way. So far I'd have to say I'm really loving what I'm seeing from this fast buds plant. The growth has been decent for such a short veg time and the stacking has been really good. I also like the fact that it hasn't grow super tall. Otherwise 3 plants in a 2x3 (20"×34" exact size) would have been a nightmare. I've increased the ppm because of how much later into flower it is. I also increased it from 3 cups of water a day to 4 cups of water a day. Found that now that it's absorbing more water it's drying out fast, so more water for it. So far this 125w LED light is doing decent in this tent but I want to increase the watt to 150w for the next grow. Feel like I might be able to get a little better overall plant development with a bit of a better light. Well that's all for now, happy growing everyone!!!

Well she's not the biggest plant in the tent thanks to my Jack Harer plant taking up a lot of space (tents perfect for 2 plants not 3). But she has a very nice bud stacking and trenchomes development so fair. Going to make a few changes next grow and use autopots in this tent lol. Should be interesting.

Plant hairs are starting to turn red in a few spots. Unfortunately the plant didn't get that big so I'm not expecting a amazing yeild from this plant. My Jack Harer plant kind of went crazy and decided to take up about 70% of the tent on its own and didn't leave much for the other two. Going to give it another week of feed and then I'm going to start flushing. Definitely just running two plants next run. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

Well she's not the biggest plant in the tent but she sure is the prettiest. Buds look super nice and has amazing stacking. Scoped her today and she's got a fair amout of milky looking trenchomes so one more week and she well start to get flushed. Already started putting together everything I'll need for the next run. Watering system (tires of hand watering) better light and installed of doing multiple strains, just doing 1 strain but 2 plants. I've already decided that the next two grows well strictly be fast bud strains because of how nice this one plant has turned out. I've got 2 more packs, Forbidden Runtz and purple Lemonade. I love my runtz but that purple Lemonade looks delicious so it's going to be hard to pick what one to do lol Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

Man this plant is not tall but she is stacked from top to bottom, like one massive bud lol. Be interesting to see how much weight she has when she is finished. Did a leaf strip at the start of the week to help increase air flow and a bit more canopy light to the lower sections. After I finished the amount of light the was now able to reach the lower section was a lot. At the start of the week I started to scope and saw roughly 30% milky and the rest were clear. Then when I scoped today I was shocked to see that it was now probably closer to 90% milky and 10% amber. Soooo started flushing starting today lol. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone!!!

Well the plant is 8 days into flush, another 6 more to go then harvest time. The trenchomes are getting close to where I like them to be. I'm excited to see how it smokes because from what ive tried of autos so far from stuff I've grown (outdoor only so far, this is the first autos I've grown indoors) and stuff others have grown, it's always under performed compared to photo plants I've grown. Well that's all for now, happy growing everyone!!!

Really looking forward to this plant. It's stacked top to bottom and the trenchomes are just a little past were I like them so I'm sure this is going to be some straight up couch lock weed. Also going to try out grove bags for curing this stuff to see if it does a better job then all the other methods I've tried over the years. She's been flushing for 2 weeks now and the plants are finally starting to yellow a bit. Going to probably harvest Wednesday or Thursday night depending on my schedule. Well that's all for now so happy growing everyone

So the buds didn't turn out very dense. But for a plant that was barely more then a foot tall, got a decent amount of bud.

The plant was tiny, but it's basically all bud from top to bottom. I'm thinking maybe 45g bit it was my first auto run indoor and I know what I need to do next run to get the most out of them. Happy growing everyone!!!

@KAPT_SAVE_Da_HOE, this one is a 2x3x5 tent. I've been contemplating doing it for awhile now, use autopots in all my other tents and room so was thinking maybe it's time lol
