Here we go: my first Fastbuds grow 😍
my OG Kush journal brought me a wonderful gift: some goodies and more than 200€ of seeds! THX!
I'm launching the Gorilla Punch auto (I've received two packs, I'll soon launch the other one for my big coco autopot tent)
Splendid start: germination in 27h, 100% success, final potting in 70h! so called FASTbuds... 😏
In the pots, a mix of coco and soil, with Rhizobacter,
which will be used for watering in vegetation as well combined with Power Roots.
In flowering, it will be Terra Bloom.
They will grow in 11L pots, sharing a Samsung quantum board of 97w real;
I added 3 Garpsen bars of 15w each on the sides, that will maybe cover the corners of the tent a bit better.
I calibrated my smartphone on my TS600 to make a ppfd map of my tent:
a bit less powerful than a TS600, but it will make me 3 small plants of 40-50cm with hopefully big nuggets! 👌
hey,
not much to say, except that the girlies are developing well, the fan leaves are well deployed.
They seem to like the 97w quantum board, I hope this will also be the case during the bloom.
I will start the power root at the next watering.
the amendment with a little coco and rhizo in the soil seems to facilitate the development of the roots;
the girls are developing well, significantly faster than usual in soil.
I am only adding power roots to the water at the moment;
I will wait for the topping before fertilizing.
✋
for 3-week-old girls, their trunks and branches look strong, and the leaves develop rapidly.
I was able to start handling: the topping is done, keeping the 2nd and 3rd knots.
it is not a "real" mainlining; on an auto, I only make 2 cuts to obtain 8 colas, starting from 2 nodes ;
so I wait until the 4 current branches have 2 nodes before topping them.
✋
the girls proved their strength this week; in the middle of the week I defoliated them by one node per cola, and at the end of the week I topped them a second time...
not a broken branch, not a weakening in sight; very good strain! 👌
I'm going to Africa for 2 weeks 😍, I've made a watering system by capilarity; first time I test it, I hope I won't lose them... I'll give them a big glass of water before leaving anyway 😉
the capillary watering did its job: a few yellowed leaves but nothing serious 👍
after 2 weeks left alone, i cleaned them, and transplanted them in 15 litres autopots; they move in the big tent with 3 lamps and automatic watering.
with a little delay, i begin the bloom fertilization.
the appearance of the Gorillas reminds me of the Cookies, which I had greatly appreciated; a good thing then 👌
the girls recovered well from the transplant,
I'm waiting to see now if the 15-litre autopots will benefit them!
they're all getting frosty, I think the blooming will go fast 👌
the buds grow and the smell reveals itself 👌
two weeks since the move; they are taking advantage of the stronger and better distributed light, they are not trying to grow anymore and will therefore remain small, but their buds will be thick and dense for sure
Some nutrient burns mid week, I reduced the Sensi Coco to 75%. At the end of the week, everything seems to be in order.
I am closer to harvest than I thought, only 8 weeks to get to this stage is amazing; go FastBuds 😉
this session is (already!) coming to an end 👌
as the buds were so advanced at the end of last week, I lowered the coconut feel and gave a little boost to the Super Boom.
At the end of the week, after checking the trichos, the rinsing seemed to be necessary.
I'm going to cut in 7-10 days 👍
see all my vids :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtAGX0oCBY92aj3VJCG5q-Q/
the last week, without nutrients (and even without water since the flush), is coming to an end, as is this session!
I'll cut tomorrow, dry for a week and make my crop report for next weekend.
see ya! ✋
I didn't make life easy for my autos...
topped 2x, repotted 1x, several defoliations, bad water stress for 2 weeks, moved to another tent... I couldn't hope for a miraculous harvest
but I'm not complaining at all: in only 10 weeks from seed to harvest, not far from 58g dry, with dense and frosty nuggets, and a nice smell that fills my room as soon as I open the jars 🤩
I won't wait long for the smoke test 👌
