7/28/2018 Planted a seed of FastBuds Girl Scout Cookies Auto in a Jiffy pot filled with moist Nature's Care Organic & Natural potting mix. Placed it in my cloning chamber (which doubles as a germination chamber as well.)
7/30/2018 She is showing some stem but the cots haven't popped out yet. Two hours later the cots have popped out.
7/31/2018 Took her out of the chamber for a few hours to dry out some.
8/1/2018 She's shooting up like a rocket. Transferred her to a 5 gallon container filled with more Nature's Care potting mix. Watered her in with 1 teaspoon molasses and a couple of drops of dish soap (Full Circle Market Free & Clear dish detergent.). Set lighting at 100% veg 0% bloom. Light is about 16" above plant.
8/3/2018 Brought bloom up to 25% intensity. Veg is still 100%. That gets me to about 250 watts light output.
08/04/2018 Added 1 teaspoon molasses to 2 liters pHed water and fed to plant.
08/06/2018 Raised bloom intensity to 50%. Keeping veg at 100%. Also raised light to 18 inches above plant.
08/07/2018 Watered plant with 2 liters pHed water.
08/10/2018 Watered plant with 2 liters water.
08/14/2018 Gave her 2 liters pHed water. Also set both bloom and veg to 50%.
08/15/2018 FIMed her (at least I think I did...)
08/17/2018 Gave her 1 liter of water with molasses.
08/20/2018 Fed her with 1 teaspoon Big Bloom in 1 liter of water.
08/23/2018 Raised the light (she gained some height this week.) Trimmed a few of the lower leaves.
08/24/2018 Fed her with 1 teaspoon molasses in 2 liters of water. She was still thirsty so I gave her an additional liter of water.
08/25/2018 Cranked light to 100% veg and bloom.
08/26/2018 Trimmed most of the lower bud sites. Left all the leaves for now. I will probably let those drop off naturally.
08/27/2018 Mixed 3 teaspoons Big Bloom in 3 liters water and fed her with it.
08/29/2018 Gave her 1 liter of water.
08/31/2018 Gave her 3 liters of water.
09/03/2018 Mixed 1.5 teaspoons Tiger Bloom in 3 liters water and fed her with it.
09/04/2018 Trimmed some water leaves.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I will be forced to harvest early. I will try to delay as long as I can.
Takes time to build before it really hits. There is a bourbon flavor to it. First there is a wave of relaxation followed by a more balanced head/body experience. I wish I could have let her fully mature.
Well, I was going to try training this one but I will just let her do her own thing instead. This is my first auto and I want to see how she grows normally.
Weather was horribly hot this week. It was difficult to moderate the temperature. Also it seemed as though there was no real growth for a while. Adjusting the lighting appears to have helped in that regard.
