Fastbuds Gorilla Glue DWC

This is my first auto grow, I'm actually growing 4 right now but this diary will focus on 1 Fastbuds Gorilla Glue. My other girls are another GG and the other 2 are breed from a Mazar Auto and a Tangerine Dream Photo. This is my second run with 4 plants in a 4X4 tent with 2 1200w King LEDS, DWC 4 individual buckets with 2 air stones 4in and 2in. So the Gorilla Glue is doing great no real deficiencies have come up that I can see and shes pretty big IMO. Root zone not looking the best but I have had high temps in the 80-90 degrees for a while so given that fact they look fine. Shes just now starting to flower at day 50 so looks like I'll be in for a long flower. Let me know what you guys think and advice is welcome! took a few pics of my other girls as well

Starting week 3 looking really good. I did have a few leaves with deficiencies about a day or 2 before my res change, nothing major. Also defoliated her as well , just to many leaves for my liking and it was a little moist in some areas and I needed a little more light penetration. She looks completely healthy and happy to me and drinking a lot of water. Bud sites should be getting bigger this week, I also added 15 ml of Flower Stacker (Humboldt Nutrients) to the res. Excited to see what she will do this week, let me know what you guys think. UPDATE 10/7/18: Added 10ml Bloom, Natures Candy, Astroflower and Flower stacker to res so I can raise ppm a little. Shes drinking faster than shes eating right now so making some adjustments according to a DWC chart I found. Check out the chart and let me know what you guys think of it.

Pictures are from Day 69 of Flower, and shes still doing great. I will be keeping my PH at 6.0 during flower now, I've read a few things saying this will help with nutrient intake so I'll give it a shot. I did trim about 3 lowers off this week this week that were not getting any light. She looks like shes going to have some really nice bud sites once they start stacking up more. No deficiencies this week just a few older leaves dying off and a little nute burn. Shes done stretching now so hopefully this week she'll start focusing on the bud sites.

She’s still doing good she stopped stretching at 33 inches tall and she’s wide as hell. Trimmed a few more lowers off last week and did a little defoliating. I had a small deficiency problem on a few leaves due to ppm fluctuations, nothing major really. The other girls in the tent are doing good. The mazar autos we crossed with tangerine dream photo may be photos so don’t I know what’s going to happen with those. AND GG #2 just started pretty started preflower a few days ago

Day 87 from seed/Week 7 of flower starts today 10/31 she’s been doing good. Raised base nutes a little to try to take care of a deficiency, take a look at the pictures let me know what you guys think it is. I put up the scrog net a little late but she’s been stacking up and some of the sites are a little heavy. Thinking she’s gonna flower for about 10-12 weeks. These big autos take forever but what can you can you do. I had to pull my 2 MAZAR AUTO X TANGERINE DREAM girls out the auto tent and i got me another 4x4 tent for photos. So I flipped those to 12/12 looks like they didn’t take the auto traits but it was just an experiment. IM down to 1 light per tent now so hopefully that doesn’t kill my yields to much.

Week 9 she’s still doing her thing, I never figured out what caused the deficiency but she’s growing. Buds look pretty nice and trichs are clear/cloudy mostly cloudy so hopefully she’ll be stacking up these last few weeks. Added 20 ml of terpinator as well.

She’s finally starting to bulk up a little. Trichs are mostly cloudy with a few ambers here and there. Buds are pretty dense and frosty, the lowers are a little more stickier than the top of the canopy. Overall she’s doing good. I think fastbuds has good genetics but not good auto genetics. This was my first auto grow and my second run in my 4x4 but given these factors I still don’t think they are true autos. I have another one growing now that has been in preflower at least a month if not more. And she has no deficiencies so idk, I’ll still have a good harvest but these can’t be true auto

We are almost there ladies and gents! She’s doing pretty good this week bud sites just stacking up slowly. Put up a few more yo-yos for bud support and I’ll check trichs this weekend, im thinking we have 2 more weeks max then flush. Hoping she gives me a big last minute push but we’ll see. Really not happy about the condition of my leaves that late flower deficiency really killed me. We’ll see if that effects the yeild. Will just continue to keep her happy until trichs tell me it’s harvest time time

This will be her last week and I'll start my flush for 1-2 weeks. We'll see how much more she stacks up, trichs are just about what I'm looking for ambers starting to pop up. I had system malfunctions in the beginning of this grow and I didn't really think she would get this far honestly. 12/7 update Decided to start flush buds haven’t really grown this week and I need the space for my other autos in the tent. I have 2 more GGs growing so we will try this one again

Overall given the problems this auto grow went good. I guess I was trimming to many leaves when defoliating and did have some heat problems. that stressed her out which cause her to take longer to flower. Definitely a learning experience for my first autos we’ll give them another run. Not really a fan of autos at this point but now that I have 2 tents I’ll probably always have some in rotation. Buds are frosty but I didn’t get the best structure out of them. Smoke is cool probably could have stood another few days of flushing but other than that I’m pretty satisfied with the outcome
