Going to be upping the nutrients and following the fastbuds general hydroponics feed schedule. I'm going to be extra careful monitoring everything and see how it does, hopefully they both take well to the added supplements. I definitely feel like a mad scientist mixing all this up in my basement but it's very enjoyable
Very good week so excited just to check on her everyday I gave it a beating with too much nutrients, my ph pen was faulty, using a peat pod instead of coco pod and me stressing it learning how to train and it keeps growing
Going good smells a little musty though no signs of mold any where except the outside of grow bags. Under the musty is a very sweet and intoxicating smell no signs of the gg4 smell, it's like a sweeter wedding cake
Good week i underwatered a couple days so i had some salt buildup and ph got a little out of wack, catching it early is pretty simple with coco. Corrected and now we're back on track
Great week I definitely need to learn to read the plants better, ph drops to 5.8 no matter how much I flush or calmag I add or don't add or how high the tds of runoff or what I put in is so. I also should have switched the feed week a little more forward on this one but I was following according to the week and not the plant. No big deal it still looks amazing to me and I'm very happy with this strain and yield already nice and frosty, purple edges and smells delicious, next week I will feed flush water phed to 6.2 hopefully she can fatten up a little more and then comes harvest super exciting!
Wish I could of held out a little longer for bottom buds to catch up a little more but they will be turned into rosin, beautiful green orange and purple in the buds and a crazy smell, gonna dry these for a week then into the jars they go
6/5. Got finished pruning have a good amount of trim for bubble hash. Got a total of 137.2 grams of buds, very exciting I'm dying to smoke it
@Fast_Buds,Thank you love your products brilliant genetics, chose these 2 to hopefully be ready by me and my fiance wedding day, thank you guys for all the hard work you do!
@GlassFanatic, thank you brother I got very lucky I definitely did alot of stuff very wrong, it was probably the bob marley I played while smoking working on it that helped haha
Hey there friend. Congratulations on getting into growing cannabis! I think you are gonna really like it here at growdiaries. looking at your diary, You are doing a great job for your first try! Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? Even though autoflowers do not need a change in light cycle to flower, They are still cannabis plants. They photosynthesize during lights on & store energy then do the majority of their growth while they are asleep. I would recommend a 20/4 or 18/6 cycle minimum. Get yourself a cheap little timer & use it they are handy & inexpensive. So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit.
I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily.

For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1
This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil.

As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully.
So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process.
Good luck my friend!
@LegacyMarketFarm, dam. That's a lot of very good info I'm gonna take your flowering advice and switch to a 20/4 schedule I was having too far temperature swings to do it in early veg, humidity and temperature are all monitored right now I have it average 1.15 with swings from 1 to 1.3, the charts are hard to read but where I've looked said 1.15 vpd was good for flowering so that's what I've been shooting for. Thank you for the info and love I will definitely check your videos thanks✌️
Nice job, you've got some really nice photos there!
Thanks so much for running this diary!
We really hope that you had a nice time growing our Wedding Glue
Enjoy the harvest :)
