Skanking & groovin Californian snow auto

one week old and this lady really did shoot up , I started her in a peat pot in a cup with terrra canna professional pro , I just checked a seed in went on holiday for Xmas for 5 days then came home too this :)

got them all in there 10 gallon pots , I don't like too start autos in peat pots in a cup but needs must as I was waiting for the soil too arrive , these first two weeks always seem like watching paint dry , very slow and boring and nothing much seems too happen 😀😴😴😴

Ok so far I've done absolutely bugger all , Popped seed into a peat pod in a cup of terra canna professional pro soil with perlite , went on holiday over Christmas for 5 days came home too seedlings that where about 3 inches above the peat pod , I then transferred them into 10 gallon fabric smart pots , in an 80cm X 80cm tent under a kingbo dual lense optical LED one is there 900watt but doesn't draw more than 400watts from the wall so let's call it a 400watt and there 600watt light that draws 200watts , I cannot recommend these lights enough and they really do give fantastic results for the budget price , The first week I just wet the soil with non pH water once then didn't even look until week 2 , then week two I added house and garden A & B soil feed at qaurter the strengh recommend by them for the first week of veg , and they seemed too respond well but slow devolpment as you would expect for a 2 week old seedling , on week 3 I have added alittle more feed too half the recommended amount from house and garden and I will now be staying at half strengh , my temps have been at 22c lights off and 24c lights on , I am growing on a 20/4 cycle , week 3 they have got into the full swing of veg growing at least one or two nodes / set of leaves every 24 hours , the nodes are very tight together leaving no room too try and lst the tops down so I won't be doing that this time , I have been feeding every 3 too 4 days so far and with abit of luck that will stay that way for abit , as the least I need too un zip the tent the better for me lol , I have never really worried about pH and maybe that will be my down fall , but maybe not , I have just got some pH test strips so will test my feed bucket and the run off from the pots and then decide if I need too get some pH up and down , but hopefully not as I like it as simple and as little effort as possible ,if I can just open the tent once or twice a week that's enough for me , I focus on the amount of nutes and temp and let them do there thing as much as possible , I will keep updating this post as I go along with any issues or just too say how fantastic they are doing , Thanks for reading ;)

Coming along very nice now and bushing out nice too , The side branches are as thick as the main stem and showing the early stages or pre flowering , Still not done a great deal too this lady and have left her too do her thing ,

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , this grill really has grown right out this week and is unrecognisable from the plant just a few days ago , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady is by far the bushyist plant with the most branches she also didn't stretch much and is packed with bud sites ,

this lady from the off set was the fastest growing and largest plant from the off set growing bushy with lots of leaves needing the biggest defoliation's too get that important light down too the many branches below, she is drinking about 8 pints of feed a week and loving life , and her bud production is also coming along nicely too , i cant wait too try this one ,

Finally at the swelling stage and growing out nicely , this lady has been a joy too grow , no decency's what so ever , she really did stretch in here flower stage going from the size of the Zkittlz plant into a plentiful branched beast she is today stacked with bud sites and let me tell you she smells absolutely amazing ! her buds look frostie already and are starting too swell lovely and there are plenty of them too ,

Ok so I'm going too only feed pH water from here on out too force the plants too use up all that's in the soil , I am hoping I can carry them on now for the next 2 weeks like this before they are ripe , Update at the end of week 9 Well this week saw a lot of change , bud swelling and ripened up really quickly And slowed right down on drinking last time I checked she was 30% amber and 70% cloudy so she has been moved into a dark room until Thursday now too drink what’s left in her pot ready for harvest at the weekend , she smell so good and if you brush against it , So that’s one down 3 too go :)

Ok so the taste test is : I like this over the girl scout cookies and the BlackBerry for daytime , It's a very nice euphoric head high that turns you into a creative genius , you feel like you could do anything you put your mind too, the buzz sticks around for a while too , It's really nice indeed , and a few months cure and she will smell fantastic ,
