Apricot Auto (Fastbuds)
Ordered 15/3 , got delivered 16/3 so these guys sure are fast allready, So I got my lil' Blue Buddy to help me out with a tiny Push-Start 💪
People like to use the shot glass or water method on here a lot. Hey just put a little water in a shot glass and drop the beans in.
I prefer directly into the substrate. But the majority is the water.
Ya know I only really have the best luck with my outdoor grows for auto's but never the less, the best advice I can give is to start them in a big pot. Like really big lol. With a high porosity medium for soil like ProMix (love this stuff). This way the roots have no problem taking off.
Another tip, light on the nutrients. Super light brother man. Start with a good soil and you most likely won't even have to feed much until bloom.
One more thing. Absolutely No HST. None! You'll stunt her.
Hope this helps.
Sooo.... What pot do I start from with the auto's?
Some gave me the advice to put them directly in a big fella...
People agree disagree?
I've got some 17l, some 7l and smaller pots.
She seems to be doing great for now.
Did get to installing the dripper a little further this week. So I'm not manually watering atm.
Looking forward to seeing her grow
Sooooo, finally got the dripper up n runnin'
I always got told it's better to water smaller amounts spread over the day .... So....looking forward to see how that works out...
See u guys next week 😘
Trying out this lst a little more
We'll see where it brings us
Looking forward to seeing her florish
If she turns out half as pretty as thé neighbourlady i Will be a happy man
I was on holiday for a week and trusted the dripper installation... Somehow she got either too much or too little of something... 😱
I immediately took her (and the rest of the family) away from the dripper, and flushed for a couple days, she started doing better ...
Sooooooo.... Was away from home for a week... Trusted the dripper ... Think she was drowning and having too much of something... Too the dripper away and flushed for a couple of days...She started looking better againWhere do I go from here ...All tips welcome
You are right, she was drowning and got too much nutrients. Flush the medium with the right pH and low amount of nutrients. Let the medium dry out for 2 days and after continue watering like you are used too but make sure that you are using the right pH, EC and NPK ratio for every phase of the grow. And water till 10% runoff and measure the runoff to check if the values are still in the right range.
She is the one that suffered the most from "incident dripper" , my other plants seem to have recovered better, the Apricot was the oldest and just switching to flowering so I guess it was a crucial moment for her to overfeed.
Anyway, she seems to be getting through it ... I hope 🤞
I only gave her nutrients once this week, for the rest it was a water diet for the misses.
I'll see what next week brings us
Keeping in mind all the set backs this lady had to endure... She's doing "okay"
She started growing flower and grew a little bit in size , I'm just going to ride this one out and try to get out of her what she still has to offer.
She didn't change a lot during this week ...
Like I said before, I didn't do anything to her either ... I'm just riding this one out ... She seems to be flowering extremely slow , so I gave her a little bit nutrients twice this week (plagron terra bloom)
I'm going to continue this for a day or two and then switch to flushing again
Keeping in mind all that went wrong with this lady, she is blooming quite okay for the shape she was in. I'm actually a little stunned by the amount of Christals in her little budz.
I'm going to germinate another one of her seeds this weekend or the weekend after to give her a well deserved second chance.
She probably will get chopped down this week. Will not be a big yield but she sure looks packed with cristals.
Keeping in mind what went wrong she came out pretty okay.
Like I said in previous comment, keeping in mind what she has been through, she's looking super potent. Bud aren't really as compact as I would like em , but again this is all due to the massive overfeeding problem I had. I'm looking forward to having a taste when she's ready for it.
