ThreeLittleBirdsCC Greetings Growers...
This is the first week on this amazing run I have planned. We have transferred the peat pellets of all but OG Kush into their pots. OG Kush did not pop (Seed from last OG Kush Autoflower Grow, was worth a try as that was a shifter skyf)..
Anyway 8 amazing seedlings are now in their pots. So I mixed in 2.8g of BioGrow per litre of substrate in the pot. So each pot essentially got around 28g as I only filled 10litres of substrate in for now..
Before placing the peat pellets into the pot I added in a tablespoon of Mycroroot microbes and sprayed with our Rootjuice and ExploGrow solution.
On day 1, they got their first watering of 100 ml of water mixed with 1ml/litre of Explogrow and Rootjuice.
Then on day 6 they got a watering of 500ml of water mixed with 1ml/litre of Explogrow and Rootjuice.
So I have not pH'd the water as Explogrow is supposed to regulate it on its own. Worked with the BioBizz range before so hopefully it does with Greenhouse..
Anyway that's it for this week's update!
Enjoy Growing and Medicating!
Until the next update...

As ExploGrow is a microbe nutrient supplement I did not Ph the water

ThreeLittleBirdsCC This week the plants got 2 feedings of 500ml each
The growth was amazing in the 3 days between the feeds
This will be the last week that I feed Root Juice
Stay Blazing!

ThreeLittleBirdsCC This week some great stuff happened in the StargazerTLBX grow room!
The plants were topped at the beginning of the week
At the end of the week LST'd with the green ties to the sides of the pots
Just look at the growth on these girls.. I really missed growing lol..
Greenhousefeeding and FastBuds with a little ExploGrow and BioBizz Root Juice!
No pH'ing thus far...
The biggest problem this week and continuing is the Loadshedding (South African Power Utility have started to impose power cuts for a few hours each day)
However, a grower never gives up! I now installed battery powered lights that comes on when our power cuts
Stay Blazing!

ThreeLittleBirdsCC What can I say? This has is my favourite thing to do!
This week the plants got a feeding with BioEnhancer and ExploGrow
Some of the girls are starting to show their sex! And they are getting bushy
Now with this Loadshedding I mentioned before, we are starting to see a lot of transpiration when the power goes off and the backup lights take over
At the end of the week I decided to give them a thorough defoliation as I would rather compromise on some yield than end up with a mildew problem
They are drinking around 1 litre per day
Just before the defoliation I fed them a good helping (3g/litre of substrate no 3ml like it says on top) of BioBloom
Lets see how this takes! I am really excited to start preflowering!!!
Stay Blazing!

ThreeLittleBirdsCC Yasis!!! This week has been amazing...
They are starting to show what they want to do in flower..
I would say we have entered preflowering for all the plants and they have started to ask for water at a lower pH
I have now started to pH the water at 5.8
There were 2 plants that started to develop some yellowing on the new growth but after the pH stabilised they have started to recover well
See you guys next week!
Grow to sustain your craving...
Stay Blazing!

Does anyone know what random 2 hour power cuts would do to autoflowers? Sometimes 2/3 times a day. I am supplementing with battery powered lights but I sometimes forget...
They are on a 24 hour light cycle
I don't think this will affect your plants at all... if you're currently running 24/0, then if they go even to 16/8, you have no worries... even autoflowers can deal with that amount of light... and their resting time does NOT have to be altogether....
Good luck!
ThreeLittleBirdsCC This week the plants launched into fully into flower.
Been watering with BioEnhancer every third watering and once with ExploGrow
They are getting very thirsty, I think on the next grow I will include a layer of mulch
There is some discolouring of the leaves on some plants light green and other starting to get some purple
Next Week we should see some proper purple hues coming in on the Wedding Glue and Cream Brulee
Stay Blazing!

ThreeLittleBirdsCC This week was a sad week for the ThreeLittleBirds growroom..
I realized that there was Gnat larvae in the soil by placing some yellow sticky boards and finding gnats.
I treated it with neem and let the soil dry for a few days then put some diatomaceous earth.
The plants roots over dried so we now have lots of yellowing taking place.
However the genetics pulled through so still some nice trichomes.
I think the high humidity during the loadshedding contributed the perfect environment for gnats to breed in. Need to rethink my loadshedding solution in future...
Will see this through for now...
Stay Blazing!

ThreeLittleBirdsCC This week the plants recovered from the neem drench and diatomaceous earth top layer to handle the gnats problem.
Such a crucial week for this to happen in but the plants overcame it by producing some frosty buds (Just a lesser yield)
I have been watering them once every 2 days with every second feeding containing BioEnhancer.
I am really happy that the plants recovered and that we can atleast have some tasty smoke.
Stay Blazing...

The plants have recovered from the Gnats situation earlier on
Frosty and sticky
Lots of the leaves are getting dried out so I remove them periodically

Waiting for the trichomes to get completely milky with about 2-5% amber in colour

ThreeLittleBirdsCC These two plants had amazing bud structure- it managed to still produce decent budes that were of decent size - total dry weight of 70 grams.
Soaked these peat pellets in BioBizz Root Juice and ExploGrow mix (1ml/l) before putting the seeds into them. Not sure how this will turn out but here goes!
@6ix6ix6ix, thanks you mate! That's true. I guess there is diminished results but I've always been doing it with Fastbuds genetics and still getting great results. I like how it grows uniform when Topped and defoliated.
@6ix6ix6ix, many people top autos, I think it's just important not to stress the plant too much in other ways. I saw many great results (this here included).
Hey bud, nice grow and diary, your plants look really good, I see you are also using greenhousefeeding bio 🏆,are you from SA? Because Nature CO2 bag gave it away 😄
