So i guess I'm back. After many failures in my growing ventures I've learnt a lot. I've decided to give this autoflower thing another try. Chosen the easiest growing strain possible to minimise issues. I've also got myself a proper soil mix that won't cause issues to my root system. I want to give LST and maybe topping a go. Fast buds says LSD-25 is good for training. Heres to big buds 💪
All going well so far. Had nothing but perfectly sunny days this week. Was considering getting a grow light to supplement its growth but that looks a bit pricey. Maybe next run. We are heading for a good 4-5 days of rain which will probably set it back. Kinda worried it will stunt it. Hoping for the best
Would a few days of rain stunt its growth a lot? Would that effect yield? The rain isn't the problem as I will bring it under cover but then it won't get much sun
So basically i'll answer like this , if your feeding and its PH corrected water your feeding it then the rain comes and rains a whole bunch it will mess up the PH in the ground changing the PH of what you put and it will simulate the effects as being watered at an inconsistent PH which will lead to lock outs and stunts of growth . How ever if your just feeding it rain water that you have collected in a bucket or reservoir then if it rains for a few days its no big deal because its getting the same water , with the same PH . If you are using rain water to give to your plants then measure its PH first so that when you feed with the nutrients you can correct the PH and have it always be consistent . Thats the most important thing when they are young like that is consistent PH and of course not have her be over watered . So if it rains like crazy for a few days I would move her somewhere were shes not going to get over watered and drown to death , when they are young like that less is more and rain for couple days straight onto a small plant like that not exactly the most ideal. I hope this information shed's some light onto your grow and helps you determine what you think is best for your young plants ! -Happy Growing!
Hasn't been a great week in terms of the weather. About 5 days of heavy rain/clouds. I built a roof out of knittex which is used for agriculture. She probably received about 6 hours a day of light during this time. Now that the sun is back she is showing some vigour. I move it to chase the sun so she gets about 9-10 hours a day. I am feeding a light dose of fish mix and kelpak which is a kelp extract. Hoping for the best. More optimistic now that she is showing potential.
Been away for these passed 10 days and she's made some really good progress while I've been gone. The weather has been behaving really well and she's responding to this. We are 27 days in and there are signs of preflowers. I expect her to start throwing pistols any day now.
Flowering has started with this little girl. From around day 28 she started to stretch a lot and grew quite a few new leaves. Her calyx's are starting to turn a very deep shade of purple as well as some of her stems on the main fan leaves. I will slowly switch over to bio bloom along with the grow for added carbs. Looking forward to it all👆🌿💪here's to another week of kickass progress
Things are looking great. Her buds are filling out and getting really cool colors. Her leaves have also gone a lot more dark green. The only problem I've experienced are leaf miners. A good number of leaves have been affected. I had this before on my Auto Critical Punch but it didn't seem to cause major issues. I just cut off badly effected parts of the leaves. According to fast buds this strain drinks a lot but haven't noticed this yet. Maybe because I'm growing in a larger container. Happy Growing!
It seems like my plant has a bit of a calcium deficiency. Leaves are losing their dark green colour and there are signs of yellowing in patches. Any ideas what I should do? It's fully organic so no calmag can be used.
Hey man, you can surely find organic cal mag especially in powder/dry form. If not you've got a bunch of options starting with diatomous earth (it's got micro in it and cool pestcontrol properties !) or crushed egg shells for the calcium. You're so close to harvest so what I would actually do is to use some chelation agents that will help get the micro needed to the plants. You can find bio enzymes or if you want something stronger you can find bio humic and fluvic acid. you can find the acids in the biocanna line, that's all their "boost" is actually. Other bio brands are much the same so look at the ingredients in the flower boosters. Just my best advice brother ! Hope it helps ! 🚀
Been a great week. I think the calcium deficiency i though i had was just damaged leaves from the leaf miners. I gave her some worm tea just in case. She has an amazing deep grapey smell that can be smelt from quite far. Her buds are fattening up nicely and shes also drinking a bit more now. My LSD-25 isn't getting as intense colors as what I've seen others grow but I am very happy with her nonetheless. See you again at week 8. Happy Growing.
This week hasn't been the best. We experienced about 4-5 days of continuous heavy rain so she didn't grow too much this week. I was away most of the week so could not move her as much and she was mostly under cover during this time. She still looks great though and has shown even more deep colors. I think in about a week and a half she will be ready for harvest. Still plenty of white pistols visible. Not sure when I should start flushing but i think quite soon. Her smells are so good and distinct. Unlike any weed I've smelt before. Got a jewel loupe i want to try out. I hope her trichomes don't go purple then I won't be able to check for ripeness. See you in a week. Happy growing :)
The sun has finally come out of hiding. This whole week has been nothing but hot days and awesome sunshine. This plant is finishing nicely and even more color has come out. I'm giving her another week or so. Today I started her flush with just plain water. It's amazing how fast her buds have changed. Her smell is still very sweet and grapey but now it has other attributes as well. Will have to hang it somewhere far away cuz it will definitely stink out the house. xD Hopefully the end of week 10 we will harvest. Will look at trichs soon but I'm pretty sure they all purple. See you next week :) (sorry about a few double upload pics. GD was being weird)
I harvested this plant at 70 days from seed, these buds developed crazy fast! She was easy to trim but she sure gunked up my scissors! Really frosty buds with an awesome pungent spicy, almost sweet diesel aroma. I didn't think to weigh the plant when it was wet but my harvest weights are from 4 days of drying so it's likely i could have harvested a little less. Still super happy with the amount of buds she produced. Will definitely grow fast buds again when its closer to summer. Quality medicine. Here's to the next one... 💤
