01/03/19 The girls popped, 1 didnt make it so we have 2 left. We got lucky again and got another trident! Hopefully she keeps producing 3 branches at every node.
24/03/19 Today ill germinate the seeds getting ready for the coming run. I wont be ph'ing my water unless my soil's ph is off. I read all over 420magazine about not ph'ing your water when growing in soil. This explains why my first grow was such a success and started having ph issues as soon as i started ph'ing my feeds. Ill keep my soil in check to make sure it stays in the 6.5 range. I hope this grow will go better then my last one. I have high hopes for this grow🤞. Ill be using smartpots to allow max oxygen to the roots and so ill be able to water throughly without any issues. Wish me luck.
This will be a all cob grow(CREE CXB3590 100w(65w) 3500k) ill start with 1 cob and add 2 more during week 2 orso. Will 3 COBS be enough for a 70x70x160 tent during flower because of the high ppf/w? Im able to add a 4th cob during week 6. I highly appreciate your help.
hey there Aru, so what they say is you need 65W per sq foot you have 16 ft. sq , times 65 (or 50 if you want the lower bound) that's 1040 , you can fit six gorilla glue in ten gallon pots in a 4x4 so for the grow size you're using divide by 2 (you have three plants right?) that's 520 and you have divide by the number of W you have to see how many of those you need for your grow : 5.2 times the power you have. that's conventional wisdom saying you need at least one cob per plant preferable some for the space between them, preferably some for the space near the boundaries of the grow room which will be slightly darker, naturally. what i think is that the 90° reflector you get with such cobs is really great for growing, get at least one for each plant point directly above it you'll see you'll be golden. hope this helps my friend ! 🚀

Today the girls are on day 8. Week 1 went smooth and they started to fill the pots with roots so they got transplanted today into 9L (10L) airpots followed by 2ml/L of Rhizotonic to help with the transplant. I have 2 cobs arriving monday. The girls will have to do with 3 100w(65w) 3500k cree cxb3590 cobs during veg. The fourth cob will arrive
next month.

Its the day after transplant and the pictures show that the myth of not transplanting autos is debunked once again. No signs of stress, just rapid growth as soon as they got transplanted

1 cob arrived today, the extra cob made it very bright. Im not worried to carry through veg with 3 cobs and it looks like a 4 cobs will easily cover my tent in flower. Once i have my 4th cob ill build a 60x60 frame to fit in the 70x70 tent. And will eventually put a mars hydro SP150 in the middle of the frame. I raised the lights to 70 cm so they can get used to the extra light.
I wont be updating for a week. Ill be uploading week 3 when they are 21 days
14-03-19
I opened the tent as soon as the lights turned on and noticed the girls were droopy. The soil wasnt dry to the point where i expect it to be underwatering, i just gave their first feeding of 0.25ml/L of canna terra vega. The girls will get a watering before they get a feeding of the growth tabs by vertafort.
The 3rd cob arrived today and im loving the even light spread in the tent, id love to get a PAR meter. It easily covers the whole tent till 14" from the canopy. Not expecting to go lower then 15". I currently have the lights at 30"
Growth:
The girls are starting to flower and havent had any issues yet. They'll stretch but im not expecting much knowing gg doesnt get too big.
Training:
Ive been leaftucking and got tied down today. Ill release them after stretch.
Nutrients:
They had max of 1ml/L Vega and looks like they need some more. Ill make sure to satisfy them with 2ml the next feeding
Day 30
Growth:
So the ladies have been developing bud sights all over. As expected they didnt get big allowing 5 plants in the tent.
Training:
So the girls got tied down before stretch and all branches caught up like i wanted. They also had a mild defoliation yesterday to increase light penetration
Day 43
Growth:
The ladies keep developing and are stacking :D you can see theyre still fattening up. Like i was hoping i solved my issues and the girls are looking way better then the last grow.
I havent had any issues yet and dont have much to update on
The girls are still fattening up and are smelling amazing. They are super frosty!!! Ill start flushing next week. Im happy to say these girls were a success i was hoping they'd get a bit bigger but im going for quality, not quantity. All cobs is looking like a success.
I am dealing with some heat issues but i think i have it under control. I changed the dark period from 7 to 11 to 12 to 16 since my room is still cold in the morning
The dry weight is 88 grams, im pleased with the yield but couldve gotten more if i didnt transplant them, they were smaller then i liked but the quality made up for it. Killer genetics FastBuds! I havent smoked it yet but i will update on the taste in a week or 2, so far she smells super gassy and fruity. But im expecting way more smells to come through after cure :) Im super happy with the yield. With 60 watts/plant and 44grams/plant i yielded up to 0.73 gram/watt
Well overall this is a lovely strain. She grew fat nugs and havent had any issues. I had 2 different phenos but both were sparkling like edward from twilight. Ill add the weight ect ect when everything is dry. They got harvested on day 65 according to my journal but i think i messed up and skipped a few days. They probably were over 10 weeks cause all thricomes were cloudy with a gint of amber. Going all cobs and a better environment greatly increased my gram per watts :D
With 60 watts/plant and 44 grams/plant my gram/watt is 0.73g
@ArucambaAutoflowers297, COB is the best for growing for sure, in your grow space you're in a 2x2 right? so you cant really fit more than 2 ten gals, maybe three five gals diagonally , so do that math yourself lol i'm confused now, depends how many you end up keeping, but i would have one cob per for sure and do your best you go bid pot wise, these like the big pots !
@ArucambaAutoflowers297, I will be updating this week had to skip a week as been mega busy will have some photos etc to put in though. Things are comng along pretty nicely now ;)
@rudiak, thanks bro! Theyre doing great and training is proving successful already. According to other diaries she doesnt get big. Im so curious how your pineapple express will treat you
Looking soo good @arucamba710 :) They are much healthier then your last grows and looking very strong with nice even bud coverage, top work!
(p.s. just updated my pineapple girls finally so you can see how she is coming along :) )
@rudiak, thanks bro! They definitely look better then my last grow. Im about to add another week after skipping 1 😅therefore the late reply lol the girls look way better and havent had any issues during the whole grow. Except for 1 royal gorilla but youll see in the update coming up :)
