(1st auto grow ) crystal time

1st autoflower grow ever with many strains separating them in separate dairies so I can enter contests 18/6 600w hps light the whole grow 3 gallon fabric pots no nurients this week germinated 1/5/19 popped through soil 1/7/19 50%nectar of gods #4 soil,30%perlite,20% coco

finally started my nutrients 1/8th strength at beginning of week 3 picture is day 25 it's growing slower then the rest due to me accidentally breaking off a branch the other day but its not seems like it is recovered in the last day and starting to grow a little better temps been high still don't have a a/c it sucks I don't have one been using plant ties on it only to keep big leaves away from bottom leaves been spraying foilage with co2 water as you can see in the picture will do so until flowering starts

start of week 4 (day 29) increased nutrients to half strength still high temps but good exhaust and co2 makes the plants able to handle it,this one is slowly growing due to me accidently breaking off a branch new leaves coming in spite of it slowing down due to branch breaking I believe it's about to take off in growth this weak already a weak smell from it, smells yummy lol

due to topping and defoliation of small lower leaves not getting light has stalled this into going into flower I raised nutrients to half strength and this plant took it fine since this grow is a experimental grow I already expected the defoliation and topping to slow growth, i'm just expirementing this grow to see results not worried much about yield hooked up filter today and im done with defoliating for the rest the grow just giving it nutrients and low stress training when needed

*1st week of flower this one I defoliated way too much as you can see was topped also *the buds already got a purplish-red color to them in the 1st week with white hairs hard to see in the pic my phone camera sucks *I got a feeling this will produce the most buds out of all strains I got going due to how fast the buds have grown in the 1st week *flushed then started on flower nutrients *when I put my plants heights so short keep in mind that's their heights after the lst… they would be a lot taller if I don't lst *noticed my hps bulb is over a year old imma tough it out use it the rest of this grow since this is just a expiremental grow,next grow I plan on using two 550 v2 quantum boards and doing scrog, that way I can go for yield I know ill get 1 to 2 grams per watt doing that,next grow I wont be topping and doubt I will defoliate since ill be using a scrog I wont need to do these things making the plants grow bigger faster and with them boards having good light spread I plan on getting 2 grams per watt ,until then i'll just let these expirements keep growing till harvest and save up some money on the big cost of the quantum boards 2,000.00 for 2 of the 550 v2 qb lights is a deal I cant pass up

*2nd week of flower and this strain is really starting to get some nice purple buds,already crystals on it *since heavy defolation done last week all I got to do is feed and keep conditions locked in and this might be ready for harvest in 2-3 weeks *slight smell to her hard to point out the smell *buds are dense even the lower ones at the bottom of the plant *this was the slowest starter in the first few weeks in my garden and now has become the fastest grower and im getting the biggest buds from this one so far wish my camera was better the purple crystally buds looks beautiful *1/2 strength on nuitrients will up the cal mag this week to full strength has been showing very minor cal-mag defiecency besides that I think this my favorite plant from fast buds

I actually got tired of waiting so I cut down one of my smaller side buds currently drying it out for just a test,this grow was just expiremental for me so im not worried about the effect of harvest by this point...i'm adding a few pics of the bud......the buds on the plant are so dark now the purple is almost black and the buds on the plant still have way more crystals then the bud in this pic I WILL UPDATE IN A WEEK OR 2 WITH DRY HARVEST RESULTS MAYBE A FEW MORE PICS,this bud dry is easily a 5 gram bud so I will just add that to my final total and get a taste...smells hard to pin point but very funky it's like a mixed of earthy,berries,pine,and pungent...cant wait to see how the rest of the plant looks and smells in a week or 2 when I do actual harvest

UPDATE: THE FINAL DRY HARVEST OF 1 PLANT WAS 57 GRAMS AND THAT'S NOT COUNTING THE 5-6 GRAM SAMPLE I TOOK OFF THE PLANT A WEEK AGO,NOT TOO BAD FOR A PLANT THAT I TORTURED AS A EXPIREMENTAL GROW...AGIAN IF I DIDNT DO THIS AS A EXPIREMENT I WOULD OF EASILLY GOT 4 OUNCES,THIS STRAIN CAN TAKE BEING TOPPED VERY WELL....WAS A SLOW STARTER BUT FASTER FINISHER THEN MY OTHER AUTOS I GOT GROWING,SMELLS AND TASTE FROM THE 5 GRAM SAMPLE WAS HARD TO POINT BERRYS/PINE AND SOME SMELL I CANT GET MY HANDS ON BUT IT SMOKES GREAT BUDS DRY FAST HAD HUMIDITY AROUND 55%..THE HAIRS AND TRICHS WERE NO WHERE NEAR FINISHED I SHOULD OF LET THIS GROW 2-3 MORE WEEKS BUT I SCORED A BUNCH OF CLONES AND NEED THE SPACE,OUT OF 10 I GIVE THIS STRAIN 9 AND PLAN ON GROWING IT AGAIN(NEXT TIME FOR YIELD INSTEAD OF EXPIREMENTAL GROWING LOL )000
