Day 1: Seeds just germinated after 2 days being put in a warm dark box and were planted to final 10 l pots. I watered them with pH controlled tap water
Day 4: All four plants came out and I made a first watering with Power Roots to encourage root growth.
Special thanks to Fast Buds for sending me free seeds of LSD-25.
Day 8: It is the first day of 2nd week and the growth is still slow but all 4 plants are developing nicely.
Day 9: It is a watering day with mildely fertilized water. Second pair of leaves started to appear.
Day 11: Since it is quite warm in the tent I had to water the ladies again this time with just pure water with pH 6.5
Hi, 3 plants look really healthy and they grow as expected. However one LSD-25 plant seems really weird. I gave nutriens just twice, other waterings were done using tap water with controlled pH. Could it be connected to hight temperature or is there maybe a problem with genetics?
Most likely just a different pheno as your temps are not too high. But I would recommend running your lights for at least 20 hours a day throughout the whole grow instead of 18. Autoflowers love more light!
Day 15: Nothing special is going on, both Cheeses are growing nicely, Lsds are folllowing along and hopefully will get better. I decided not to water the plants today since I want the sollil to get really dry in a case I overwatered them prevously. 😄
Day 16: I increased nutrient ratio and sprayed the girls with vita race to promote photosynthesis. I will make some photos when the light turns on.
Day 17: Just watching them grow and making some really nice photos.
Day 18: I managed to increase the humidity to 55% by simply putting a plastic bowl filled with water in the tent. The weather here helps with it as well since it is raining/snowing. Few more days and I will start with LST. So far so good.💪🙏
Day 19: I took a time to start LST to three of them. One LSD plant is growing nicely but it is super short.
Day 21: Some more LST going on and watering day. One LSD plant is still to short to start training her. Hopefully she’ll get a kick after nutes feed:)
Day 24: I keep training the girls and want all the branches to be the same height. I haven’t been doing LST correctly last grow, this time I feel very confident however and plants are getting really bushy last few days. One LSD is
still quite small compared to other girls but she looks promising. Gave them nutes today and average dose of power roots.
Day 28: All four plants are flowering, cheeses are a little smaller now compared to LSDs but still doing great. Did a little training and probably going to water them in the evening with tap water as I ran out of fertilizer. Thinking of switching to Canna family:)
Day 30: Did a little more training. Plants look healthy instead of one LDS which is still having huge issues with some kind of deformation. Probably due to genetics. Not feeling good about it:(
Day 37: I switched one one LED light to flowering but kept the left one to veg since Cheese #2 is still vegetating and hopefully will start flowering this week:) Watered all of them with solution for flowering.
Day 38: I took half an hour of relax by train my flowers even more and made some photos.
Day 45: Made some photos of really beautiful looking plants and watered them with normal dosage of alga bloom and power roots. I am really scared that one LSD plant was affected by mites however I cannot see them even when using macro lense.
I was absent a lot and therefore not able to update my diary daily. To wrap up: Unfortunately one Cheese plant decided not to continue flowering and I put it out of the tent and it is going to be a decoration in our living room. The second LSD-25 that’s been weak since the beginning it's showing showing huge deficiency problems I am just not able to control it.
I will upload pictures if somebody will be able to help me out but I am pretty sure all the issues are connected to the genetics. Keep my finger crossed for two plants that are doing nice.
Day 60: The plants looks good, watered them nicely and really looking forward to see the buds get fatter:) Decided to return the non flowering cheese back into the tent.
LSD thas has been having problems from the very beginning is showing some outstanding growth and it looks like Green Sensation gave all the plants a real kick. Since then they’ve been developing really nicely💪💪
I have an issue with one of the Cheese Auto plant since she’s barely showing singns of flowering. She is growing vigorously but it seems to stop developing flowers. Should I leave her in then or it is already way to late for an auto flower? Appreciate your help🙏
By the looks of it all your plants are flowering even your cheese plant . What I can suggest is that you lower you lights to 12-12 you dont have to because they are auto flower plants but if you do so you might notice a good change in result . Firstly plants break , being that these plants are in flower and your working them super hard its stressing them out . Plants use the "night" cycle as there break for a few things photosynth , breathing and a few others but the main 2 important ones are photo synthesis and breathing . The photon's the plant collects during the day cycle from the sun / HID / LED is stored until the night cycle for the most part . So to be beaming them 18 hours a day in flower is a bit much but like I said its preference . At the end of the day you gotta think its still a plant and its going to behave as such , so always try to emulate the seasons as best you can . As it stands your grow is doing well and your going to get a good harvest reguardless . I hope this information helps shed some light into your grow ! -Happy Growing!
All in all it is looking quite good for the plants exept the one that is still showing really slight signa of flowering. I decide to put her on the balcony since you suggested to decrease the day light time to 12 which is exact what we have here in this period😊.
Thank everybody so much for great suggestions and I appreciate them all!
I also switched the LED light sbove both LSD to red light flowering switch and hopefully it will promote the buds to fatten a little more. I will prolong the flowering for one week more and start with flushing.
Cheese is not far behind and it looks like she’s going to be a real monster at the end. She’s now getting full spectrum LED light:)
I’ve also increased the amount of nutrients according to final flowering stage and started adding a Royal Sugar kick once per week.
Green Sensation certainly made significant changes to the buds ehich are really dense and filled with sugar
This week went really well. All three plants fatted I hoped they would. LSDs are probably one week to go, however I’ll wait few more weeks for the Cheese - she still needs her time💪😊
LSD is ready to flush. Starting today and harvesting next week🤘
It was a harvest day for LSDs💪💪Really happy with the results.
One cheese needs a week or two, the second one weirdly just started flowering and she is huge🤘Can’t wait for her to start producing buds
I had some problems growing them since they were showing some kind of deficiency from very beginning and I was struggling especially wit one plant hvaing her leaves curlying.
Two of them came out quite different to each other. One being really reddish, the other one not so much.
The smell and taste is absolutely amazing almost like a candy... and the smoke is super strong that takes your brains to the moon. It should be smoked in the evening and let yourself melt with a couch.
I will definitely try LSD - 25 in the future and avoid doing so much LST since I think they didn’t like it so much and remained littIe. I hoped both to give more yeild but I will give one more try and see what comes out of them💪🙏
I really appreciate the help that you have been giving me during the grow. I will keep growing and sharing my experience that are so little in comparison to others with the communitiy.
Happy growing to everybody
She is almost ready for a harvest, just a week of flushing and she is done:) The second cheese started flowering really late and it is now on the balcony because it is too big to stay in the tent.. Probably needs 3 - 4 weeks.
I am looking forward to a sunny weather forecast😁
Hi, one plant is almost ready for a harvest, the second cheese has started flowering properly a week ago. Is there any explanation why is that happening? Would the plant develop normally at the end? She is three is also three times bigger. Both seeds were germinated the same time
Hi Reindeer!
Autoflowers are hybrids from a Ruderalis and a Photoperiods strains, offsprings will show characteristic from those two in any percentage, meaning you could get one who has only 10% Ruderalis in her and 90% photoperiod....Needing 12/12 to flower, others will have 60% Ruderalis and 40% Photo and that one will develop a lot more before she has enough flowering hormones in her to start packing those buds.
It seems your last auto Cheese is one of those, she is a super Auto, a big auto genotype, it will take at least 7 weeks to finish her but you will have a lot more buds!!! If she is really slow to flower you can change light settings to 12/12. Good luck!
I just harvested one Cheese plant and she is adorable. Buds are really heavy and dense, covered in trycomes. The smell is really smooth and natural.
Now they are going in the closet to get dried for 5 days or so.
Update: The buds are kept in a jar and look terrific. The smell is so nice and intense. Looking forward for a big monster on a balcony to be ready for harvest:)
I only managed to harvest one plant since the other one is still flowering on my balcony and it is going to be a monster at the end.
She gave me a decent yield and extremelly dense buds - I’ll post some photos. The growt has been really easy and I had no issues. The taste is really nice with a little cheesy subtaste. It is not super strong but it leaves nice stoned effect for a GOT ses000
@growdoctordc, i love the areas that have the warmth all year...but me and humidity don't get along, I only want to have to dry my hair once each morning.
But podcast. It's the kisorganics.com cannabis cultivation and science podcast. There's one guy on there who swears by keeping your vpd in check and keeping humidity pretty high. Maybe he was saying its more the fact of having your grow space reach "dew point" at darkness that'll waken pm and botrytis. That if you have a drastic shift in either temperature or humidity once day/lights go out that really triggers the spores to get active. So if you can keep from having any drastic changes you'll usually be alright. However he does mention that some plants are carrying the pm gene and it'll be much more likely to pop out if so.

HILARIOUS!
What podcast?
I’ve accompanied stateside friends to the Carib multiple times. Rarely is there a jetway, so you walk directly from the cool, dry air of the cabin into the very warm, moist air of the Caribbean. It hits them like a stiff pillow in the face, and they nearly fall backwards. I love the humidity, the punishing brilliance of the sun, the aroma of decay and new growth, and I think, “Ahhhh. Home”.
Swampy may be strain dependent, but they all like wet early. We avoid high RH in flower to avoid mold & mildew. A SE Asian strain would do well swampy.
Breed. Spread seeds. Grow it wild wherever you live. Cannabis adapts to EVERY condition
@CRiSPrGrow, thank you so much for a positive feedback. I’ve published a photo of a cheese plant. Really looking forward her to go nuts and start producing buds:) have my fingers crossed💪
