My autoflower plants are exactly three weeks old and have been growing perfectly without any issues so far. They are thriving, showing healthy development, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their progress.
My setup is in a 120×120 cm grow tent, equipped with a Lumatek 2.9 Pro and three fans that ensure constant air circulation. From the start, the lamp has been running at 300W, and I will gradually increase it during the flowering phase to avoid excessive light stress during the vegetative stage.
To maintain optimal conditions, I use an Air Intake Spider Farmer fan, keeping the temperature steady at 24°C while ensuring proper air exchange. For nutrients, I rely on Advanced Nutrients, which I highly recommend, to provide all the essential elements my plants need.
Unfortunately, the first three weeks weren't documented, but from now on, I'll share everything until harvest—hopefully inspiring and motivating others along the way. I'm excited for what Fast Buds has created and looking forward to a flavorful strain.
Stay tuned!
Happy Growing!
Week 4 - Autoflower Grow Update
This week has been all about steady growth and fine-tuning the watering schedule. The plants are getting noticeably bigger each day, showing strong development as they prepare for the pre-flower stage.
I started the week on Monday with 0.5L of water per plant and gradually increased the amount, now reaching 0.7L per day. They’re handling it well, thriving with lush, healthy foliage. At this stage, I find them quite big, which is a great sign for the transition into pre-flower next week.
So far, everything is looking fantastic—strong structure, vibrant leaves, and an overall promising start for the flowering phase ahead. Excited to see what next week brings!
Autoflower Grow Update 2 - Week 4
Today marks exactly 4 weeks since my plants started growing, and I’m really happy with how everything has gone so far. The plants are now entering the pre-flowering stage, so I’ve increased the power of my Lumatek lamp to 450W. To avoid light stress, I’ve raised the lamp to 60cm for a few days and will try to bring it back down to around 50cm once they adjust.
My plants have now reached a height of about 25 cm, which means they’ve grown approximately 12.5 cm during the fourth week—an impressive result! Today, the Ztrawberries received 1 liter of water for the first time, along with the standard nutrient solution following my feeding schedule. You’ll be able to see the exact details of this feeding when I share the Week 5 updates.
I’m very excited to see how they continue to develop during this pre-flowering stage. Everything has been going smoothly up until now, and I’m eager to show you more! Stay tuned for what’s to come!🔥🌱
Start of Week 5 (Day 30)
The plants have now officially entered Week 5, and as of these pictures, we are at Day 30 of growth. Today, they were given 1 liter of water without any nutrients. This decision was made because the plants currently display a very nutrient-rich appearance, characterized by their deep green foliage, indicating the risk of over-fertilization.
So far, everything seems to be progressing optimally as Week 5 begins. The plants are healthy, robust, and showing no visible signs of deficiencies or stress. With the pre-flowering phase now approaching, the focus will be on ensuring that the plants transition smoothly into the flowering stage. We’re hoping for a successful pre-flower development, which will be key for an optimal bloom phase.
Looking forward to observing the plants’ progress as they continue on this promising path!
Week 5 - Day 34 Update
Everything is looking great so far! The only issue worth mentioning is that earlier this week I was concerned about potential overfeeding. To prevent any nutrient burn, I watered the plants for two days using only filtered water from a Brita system. This should allow me to continue with regular feeding without overdoing it.
Unfortunately, I noticed a minor calcium and magnesium deficiency on the lowest leaves, but it doesn’t seem too serious. Today, I decided to give each plant 1.5 liters of water instead of the usual 1 liter, because they were drying out after just one day. I also want to ensure there’s a small amount of moisture left in the coco substrate.
Aside from that, the plants are quite tall for being nearly five weeks old, and I’m really excited to see when each one starts showing those white pistils. This week, it was clear that the side branches were fighting for space and light, which is a good sign of healthy growth.
Stay tuned for more—updates coming soon!
Grow update – End of Week 5 Day 35
The plants are now exactly five weeks old, and they look absolutely fantastic! Over the past week, they have grown almost 20 cm in height and are now slowly starting to develop their first white hairs.
Looking back, I probably should have started giving them 1.5 liters of water earlier. However, for the past two days, they have been receiving 1.5 liters per day, yet the soil is almost completely dry again after just 24 hours.
Let’s hope they continue to grow a bit more this week before the full flowering phase kicks in. Stay tuned to see how things progress!
Autoflower Update – Week 6: Ztrawberries
Welcome to week 6 of the Ztrawberries! They are looking absolutely amazing and have gone through the pre-flower phase without any issues. They've grown so tall that I was genuinely worried they might never stop stretching!
Around mid-week 5-6, I decided to turn up the light to its full power of 600 watts. This ensures that as they enter the flowering stage, the buds will develop with maximum intensity right from the start.
For the past four days, they've been getting 2 liters of water each, as anything less leaves them too dry within 24 hours. They’re also loving my Advanced Nutrients fertilizer, which is keeping them perfectly healthy and vibrant.
I’m really excited for the flowering phase now! Based on my current experience, I’d estimate at least 100g per plant, which would make me more than happy. Let’s hope everything continues smoothly without any major issues! 🤞🏻
Autoflower Grow - Week 6 Update
Everything is progressing positively with the plants. They've now fully entered the flowering stage, and it's exciting to see their development. Each day, the white pistils are becoming more prominent and continuing to grow, showing clear signs of healthy blooming.
I'm hopeful that the entire flowering phase will go smoothly and result in a fantastic outcome. Fingers crossed for the best!🌱
