Russian Auto (42FastBuds)

TommyBVRSA75 Switching from outdoor to indoor...growing strong...I've been very attentive to the pests that her store mate has had, but she shows champion genetics and resilience. Jah God in command...

TommyBVRSA75 Russian Auto 42 Fast Buds, no mistakes or mishaps. Simple, straightforward fertilization plan with mineral - NPK Autoflowering Supermix Bionova at half dose; organic and with Biobizz - both Bio Grow and Fish Mix in equal parts; aqueous solution of nettles for protection and direct nitrogen supply, and organic black molasses without sulfates for trace elements. As a surprise in the mix, two sets of mycorrhizae from a new brand on the market - Mycoterra and two of their supplements - Pandora with bacterial contribution to integrate nutrients, used twice, at the beginning of the vegetative stage and at the beginning of flowering - about 1g/l is applied and the compound is soluble, which allows for direct adhesion to the root system of the grow. The second product from the Mycoterra supplement is Kraken, a granular product with the fungus Glomus iranicum var tenuihypharum, which provides exclusive protection to the root system... a short spoonful near the base of the stem of the grow and just once for a grow of these characteristics, that is, an automatic with such a short period. The pistils are already visible at the base of the internodes, and it leaves me confused about how the ruderalis phenotype will grow, as the grow is currently at 20 cm, but from what I gather in the grow diaries of this strain, in the next two weeks the grow might reach a 'pull' that could double its size in less than ten days. And because my opinion on autoflowers is that they grow very quickly but something in their quality pays the price for that speed between seed and harvest, I have already ordered the "x contribution" which for me is always the Delta Nine from Canabiogen, and I’ve ordered it just in time, because tomorrow when it arrives, I need to give it the pre-flowering boost. The Delta Nine has that very complete formula that provides the 'automatic' buds with the foundation to grow as desired, meaning compact, heavy buds that are very rich in terpenes and resins, almost like a botanical "steroid." Let’s see, the Russian is that strain that never lets you down... an incredible cherry flavor, that aroma that reaches your neighbor's door, a sweet and penetrating smoke, and a very unique yield, meaning the whole grow turns from the base of the stem to the tip of the colas into a "giant bud," so there isn’t a single centimeter of the plant that doesn’t turn into a bud, and that’s why it needs a good vegetative phase to reach 60 cm and be totally compact. But precisely because of this unique characteristic of this strain, for me, the Delta Nine from Canabiogen gives that extra that is perfect for the smoke I’ll have this summer for the holidays. It’s a quality that gets you high without leaving you laid back, and the Delta Nine gives this automatic what it lacks to be almost like a photoperiod smoke. This strain has always dazzled me because its genetics are very good, because its herb is, for me, the one that makes you feel great socially, even if you smoke it in the afternoon at the beach or on a terrace, it lets you have some beers without leaving you inactive and laid back. It’s that strain that every year I grow as a summer harvest. Yield, smoke quality, and a wonderful head... and God Jah in command, planting the seed of information, of Concord, of Peace and Respect. To my grower brothers, that hug as always, until the next page of this diary. Tomás - Portugal ADDITIONAL NOTE: Day 40 - May 25, 2022 - I gave the first application today (pre-flowering which is almost starting, meaning I should have applied it about 5 days ago), the Delta 9 Canabiogen. 6 ml/L on leaves and in watering. It will be repeated in 10 days and then in another 10 days... so 3 applications a month, and if the buds aren’t what I expect, I’ll give a supplementary watering application in 40 days... that is, when the grow reaches day 80.

TommyBVRSA75 So...just one week since last diary entry and some adjusts have been done. First of all, the LED exposure calibration and calculate that exposure on a different set. Try to mantain the vegetative set in order to break one of the most significant handicap of my LED set (Full spectrum- UFO kind -purplish Spectrum lights) that normally during the first weeks of the growth tend to made plants very short and of a splattared kind (almost no space between internodes). The fabric settings say that after the third week normally the growth starts to correct that carachteristic given by the shorten blue spectrum, but after the calibration and the evidencie that after more than a week without a reasonable growth, my solution was to raise the level where i have the growth and i raised around 30 cms that level. So on just four days i noticed a very rapid growth both on height but also on secondary branches. Almost every leaf set and branch insertion on the stalk, have now primary pistils, that indicates one of the most outstanding carachteristic of this strain, that is that the flowering will develop almost on every space of the plant. As i told previously, the "Russian" has a yeld that is composed by a flower that comes from the base of the stalk up to every top to each branch...as the whole plant is almost a compact flower and that's why the "Russian" is so spectacular to the sights when is ready to crop. Due to this pre-flowering evidence i have apllied Delta 9 ( Canabiogen) supply both to the leafs, branches and stalk and some on direct root irrigation. This compound for me is one of the most important supplies of pre-flowering nutrition and has a strong and visible impact both on the quality and amount of the yeld. Normally the Delta 9 induces strongly the terpens and resume amount of the growth and for me it is a low budget way to boost a standard "autoflower" quality to an almost "photoperiod quality" of the final "smoke" product. I am still having some problems to adjust my LED set...i am still managing the propper way to work on LED, both calibrating the distance to the plants and to obtain the optimal coverage. My LED set is by the fabric settings, perfectly capable to manage from 60x60 up to 80x80 areas, but i have noticed by experience that from a seedling start and to the third/fourth week of vegetative, the LED covarage shouldn't be more than 70cms apart from the plant top and even with that measure standard, that splattared carachteristic on the plants on the early weeks of growth will happen neverless. I am now checking very closely the evolution on the growth, precisely by noticing that height grow of more than 10 cms. in just 4 days, and checking any posible stress and unbalance due to this Fast development. I will publish a new diary entry on next weekend and hope for the best and give all of you, "grower brothers", the best news about my "Russian" 2022 season. Jah God as always on command, seed the seeds of information, knowledge and Harmony between men. Tomás - Portugal

TommyBVRSA75 Ok...first a set of problems due to Southern Portugal Mediterranean climate...outdoor days with 39ºC Max and night with 26ºC Min...no site conditioner inside my house and an absolute problem having a constant temperature on the growth space between 28 and 27 (no thermal amplitude) and some 65 to 70 RH. So nevertheless the temperature is high for late flowering stage, the growth is thriving and the buds get dense and compact day by day...but...always but...the cycle is running wildly towards the end and the first leaves started to get yellow and had to be defoliated, but no problem...it is normal. The irrigation due to heavy temperatures happens now each day, not more than 0.7L and fertilization is always given in a 1/3 rd part of the recommended schedule. Delta 9 and the apply each 10 days had become a half portion on each 5 days to boost the buds and I AM combining with success organic Biobizz supply and mineral PK 13 14 Bio Nova on a 1/3 rd amount each irrigation. As I told you, the irrigation now occurs on a daily basis 'cause the Algarve (Southern Portugal) summer is perfect to go to the beach but not so good to our growth overall conditions. Analyzing the growth itself everything runs smoothly, but the pistils are still very white and so far the sugar leaves aren't so charged as I supposed. As I told you guys my biggest concern is concealing a full bud growth within the cycle of the plant. The yellow leaves on the base of the growth are linked not only to the arrival of the end, but also to the self-imposed N lack, so everything is in control and my preview for the last week flush will occur on early July, so early August first smoking material will be on the run. Jah God as always on command with wisdom, plantinha the seeds of knowledge, love and understanding on everyone's heart. PEACE...

TommyBVRSA75 As you can see, the buds are getting to their maximum size and we still have at least two weeks more before the final flush. As you can see i increased the CO2 in the tent, in order to get advantage from the high temperatures inside the growth space (around 27/28ºC with no thermal amplitude between day and nights), Southern Portugal had been register around 36ºC day maximum and 28ºC nights minimum, so without AC it isn't posible to drop temperature, but despite of it, the buds are thriving from day to day and the scent and coloques are impressive (some redish Buds, no foxtails whatsoever, and the terpens are just Delicious. I will let you with a video explaining my growth area process. Jah God on command...Peace!

TommyBVRSA75 Finally on the way to the end and the Russian "Lady" went to "shower". A nice and refreshing flush, cleaning all the excess of nutrients once very important to growth, thrive and flowering. I am very surprised about density, weight and compactness of the buds and i have for sure a "class A" weed for me and my friends to have a funtastic "smoke" during summer. That's why i always rely on the genetics of the 42FastBuds Russian Auto, there is no mistake at all. A solid yeld both on quantity but mainly in "Skyhigh" quality. And as always, my "winning horse" that is the Delta 9 suplement by Cannabiogen that is mandatory to transform a normal auto quality in an outstanding photoperiodic quality (nature says that autoflowering product cannot be never like photoperiod smoking stuff but with Delta 9 supply during flowering phase, the final stash can be very similar to a great outdoor photoperiod yeld (not on weight but in final "Stone"). Next week i will trim the Russian "Lady" , check the final yeld amount and put it to dry. Final goal is just coming...Jah God on command, with infinite wisedom and planting the seeds of Knowledge, Harmony and Peace on the heart and mind of Brotherly Manhood.

TommyBVRSA75 A normal Russian Auto...no alarms and no surprises. A solid strain, heavy Buds and a myrcene terps scent at the doorstep. The growth was pretty normal, despite of some adjusts on the height from the Led set to the plant during veg Phase. After the Seven week a boom growth from 20 to 60 cm in just 9 days, and after all a yeld around 60 grama and first class quality. Jah God always on command and now some deu on pinewood hermetic locker...and waiting for curing this beauty.
