So here I am having a shot with autoflowers, I did some a few years back but my noob skills at that time combined with lack of equipment&knowledge gave poor results...time to give my best shot with all stuff learned since then :)
Two separate diaries- Fastberry&Crystal METH- thank you FastBuds for the free seeds
Let's get it on!
24h soak in Ph'ed water (5.8) and wet paper towel method germination, after tap root shown up the girl has been planted in a 50/50 coco/perlite mix,moving to a 20L fabric pot right after Christmass😀

Everytthing is fine 😉 topped last week and got nice vigorous growth, started to shape them a bit before they go both into separate tents and get SCROG, really a pleasure to grow so far, I think they accelerated growth this week and will only go fasterrrrrrrrrrrrr
She is doing great...just did not play along with my SCROG plan and transfer to solo tent;) which is not bad in the end because she looks great and grows faaaaast ;) working with some deflo and LST for another week or two, bud sites are building up, flushed and switched to flowering nutes at the beginning of the week :) spectrum switched to flowering along with lowering the fixture closer to the plants PPFD from 600umol/m2/s to 1300umol/m2/s ;) good experience so far ;) looking forward for the next weeks :)
starting week 2 of preflo (+- in my count) with deflo/LST, shes stretching and enjoys the light intensity...as i enjoy growing her :) no issues so far...
could harvest already but experience tells to push it to the limit-patience always pays off with yield 🙃plan is to start flush by the end of week 12 ,) flowers will gain more weight. still keeping an eye on the trichs daily
1 flush on saturday, light switched to BLUE only...according to https://lumigrow.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/research-boost_cannabis_terpenes-lumigrow-LED.pdf it should terpenes :), i left UVB and FR also on ;) sec flush on monday (runoff water ec 1.2 from 2.8)
maybe i do a 3rd on wednesday and finally
turn off the lights/stop watering 4 days before harvest on monday 18.03
had to tie those heavy sticks xD smells fruity
and fowery, very heavy smell
cut a sample after 1 flush and before blue light treatment to see if i feel a difference
@ScarfaceGuerrilla, Got same AN lineup, Gorilla Glue Auto and Sour Diesel Auto, week 4, running @ 600ppm / 1.2EC with Promix (peat, coco, perlite). Whats your secret for running full dose on autoflowers?! Everybody scares me not to do it, but only 1/4 to 1/2 dose the label suggests. Please advise! Thanks!!
WOW! Topped and mainlined. You are an adventurous soul. I can't see from your photos, but did you LST all the nodes to make a spine, or just topping and LST the main new tops? Will you be topping anything else, or just the one?
I would be frightened to do this with my autos. I have a tent of 4 right now. 2 are already flowering! I could've used your method on my Orange Critical Punch. It doesn't seem to be in a hurry to flower.
This looks like its going to turn out fantastic! I'd like to follow along and see what happens.
@ScarfaceGuerrilla, I guess it really depends on the strain. There is a Pineapple Express SCROG grow that is pretty nice. I can't remember who's it is, but the Diary is pretty amazing. Oddly enough, its another FastBuds strain. You'd have to look for a robust auto that "flips" late. Kinda like this Crystal Meth...😁
I tried LST on my first auto. It didn't go as well as I'd like. That's why this time I'm trying to leave the autos alone for the most part.
@Quexos,
i topped the main cola and that was it with Crystal, then just LST, but the fastberry (other diary) i topped a sec time (two main colas) and then again just LST, frankly- it will be amazing or a shoot in the knee hehe for now i'm really happy with the grow. this week + 4-5 to go, i wanted to SCROG them but they did not :P ...fast they are hehe
Looking good buddy, should be a nice harvest. I'll be sure to check this out when you've harvested :D really good descriptions for each week, thanks for putting in the effort. It goes a long way! :)
Sorry to let you know also sorry for ppl who believed this and tried it ... , i don't mean to be a dick but the physical evidence of your pics and your information you added is clearly made up bull shit it does not match the science , ive been growing for 20 years
your plant looks small also the buds look underdeveloped and small in fact the plant looks a little fried and tiny i really don't mean to get personal with you but you cannot argue and bullshit with proven science .. those PPM lvls at the stages of growth you fed at made me laugh a little , this info on your grow was not done right , you might have just been getting numbers wrong thinking it was ok due to wrong methods or calibration of your tools for instance your TDS reader or your making it up ..please change this information it can be very misleading to growers esp new ones
Do not try this ! any experienced growers will take 1 look at those bud/plant/yield pics and information you have provided and know str8 away its a load of shit ..again sorry for putting it like that . i'm just doing the right thing here
