Blackberry Auto fastbuds(First Grow Indoor)

@Dirtyfa, my update for the third week will come tomorrow, then you can make a comparison. I have a feeling that our ladies look/similar and are at the same stage, but you're just a week ahead :)

@Waveform, what a coincidence that this comes about, hehe. Finally, we get to do it. Yeah, since they all grow towards the lamp except for the one in the back right, it seems the ladies want more light. I’ve raised it to 39000-48000 Lux for now so that the girls don’t starve for light until the second lamp arrives. As far as I know, 7000-8000 is good for germination. And during the vegetation stage, you should go between 15000-50000 depending on the genetics. I read that the Blackberry from Fast Bud likes it at 40000 Lux during vegetation, but that makes sense since it’s a plant from California. Important: never go over 75000. I’m aware that the Fecida doesn’t have 1000w; its power consumption is around 130w. But the Fecida is also very popular among growers in the USA for quite some time and has shown that it can deliver good yields. The 1000 version is more suited for 2 plants rather than 3 as it’s advertised. Therefore, my tent is getting another upgrade; I’ll have 2x 130w Fecida and 1x e27 100w with more red-blue content in full spectrum. In the end, it’s cheaper than with a San Light. On Friday, there will be an update on how they’ve developed. And the setup of the lights will also be presented then. So far, the 3 are growing little by little. Now on day 10, they’re not quite as far along as yours but close. I believe your strains have different genetics, though. My girls are supposed to start flowering very early and gain quite a bit of size during flowering. I’m not sure how the Pineapple Express is bred. But feel free to give me feedback on how you like them. I still have Zamnesia seeds and some from Sweet Seeds. But one thing at a time.

@Mike_269, soaking means filling a tub so that the pot fits in, preferably a fabric pot. Just make sure the water is only as high as the soil so that no water runs in from the top. Then you push it down into the water until the top layer of soil gets wet too. After that, let the water drain well. Don’t be surprised if the soil is dry; it takes a moment for the top layer to get water. This way, the soil gets evenly moist and settles well again, making it more uniformly wet during the next watering. Some do this with autos 1-2 times per life cycle. I was advised to do it since 3-4 leaves grew crooked. And the light tips appeared. I initially thought it was the light and raised my lamps from 36cm to 48cm. I had no success. My lamps run at 82%, which is about 40000-50000 Lux. I think that should be moderate for the strain during the week; I’ve read that it likes to be run between 45000-65000 Lux. But be careful, you should never exceed 75000 Lux. I was also considering heat stress. But after some modifications and upgrades, I’m no longer struggling with 30 degrees. I also rule out nutrient deficiency and overwatering since the leaves turned yellow from the outside. Sorry, I was in the flow, but I think these are some important facts.
