First Autogrow....cherry cola/big bud

Huntablunt So the 6 ladies showed up after 4 days of germination, which I always do directly in soil. I only care the soil is humid, not wet and plant them in the large pots. I think automatics should not be stressed too much. That's why I will use LST. They only get fed root juice most likely the first 4 weeks, as allmix should provide everything needed. Right now I am working with 25% of the led, which is enough for now. Udate day 29 Today I discovered a few hermaphrodite buds on the lower part of one plant. Damn...... And it is the tallest I like best till now. Got rid of those 6or8 little fuckers and am hoping she will stop producing them and hopefully, I have found them all. Since the plant looks 99% female, I will keep observing and looking now closely,but this one looks like it's worth it.

Huntablunt So now the first 7 days are almost over. The temperatures mentioned are just average and they vary a bit, depending on the weather. Daytime between 26-29 degrees, night 20-25. I checked pH by the way and it's almost perfect. 6,6 with nutrients added. Tomorrow I will check Ec and see if I will adjust / how much. Update The EC is at the moment at 850, which should be fine for the moment. I am going to increase it up to 1100-1200 before blooming.

Huntablunt So, day 14 will start today at 5pm......the bigbud develops quick, the cherries seem to be a bit slower. The "Cripple" shown on one photo develops the slowest. Seems to me, that the cherries had a bit of a problem with light intensity, which surprised me. So I changed the lamp distance and since then they seem to like it better. Never used led light and am surprised about their power. Never had the problem with too much light intensity. So I will most definitely buy another and smaller lamp for the first week or 2. Operating at 25% was still too much for the cherries. Alternatively I could change light distance in this time. Plants are fed 2ml of root juice and biogrow per liter. From week 3 on I will increase it to 3ml. UPDATE DAY 19 Plants receive 3,5ml of biogrow per liter. They drink like alcoholics so now they get about 1litre of pure water and about 400ml of nutrition. I started LST as you can see. Temperature now sucks a bit, but it's hot outside but will change tomorrow fortunately this is no permanent problem. If I am lucky and nothing unplanned happens, like insects..... I will enjoy these probably. Plants also began to show gender and look female so far. In about a weak I will change nutrition for blooming UPDATE DAY 20 As the pervert that I am I watched this video over and over.........😂 well, the one I posted......What I thought I have seen was slight signs of over nutrition. Wouldnt wonder, because first 2 weeks (more or less) they did get just root juuice and I jumped from 2 to 3..5ml of grow....😁Ladies seemed thirsty but right now I guess, the color I thought was a sign of undernutrition is just the "normal" pheno from the cherries. Sry for my english. Day21 So I was able to apply a bit more lst since plants start to stretch a bit. The biggest plant in the back got bend down in order to avoid burning the top or having to adjust the lamp. I get more and more excited to see them develop! I also started taking of lower leaves that are not needed. Plants are super bushy and will have about one more week, before they enter blooming. The stems are pretty strong and sidebranches get bigger and stronger too. So far, everything alright. Plant height is about 25-45cm, estimated, but my eye is quite OK. And 1 or 2 cm more or less don't change the general fact that they are impressing me so far I actually just wanted to share a creative moment I had this morning..... I guess you all know Dean Martins "let it snow"..... Lol Oh the weather inside is right And the lamp is burning bright The trickomes brightly glow Let it grow, let it grow, Let it grow Man growth doesn't seem to stop And soon I'll reap my crop If lights are turned way down low I will sow, I will sow, I will sow When I finally taste the weed And enjoy the smoke so sweet I know the potency I have grown What a stone, what a stone, what a stone I really love these plants A true first sight, sweet romance And as long as I have room Let it bloom, let it bloom, let it bloom I don't care what judges think Just take care that it won't stink No noise, no talk no smell Keep it stealth, Babylon go to hell

Huntablunt So now, we are in week 4 (day22) and most of the plants start showing more and more stamps / pistols, I decided to slowly switch my nutrition scheme. From now on I will reduce nitrogen, giving them half the amount biogrow and to support the their blooming and maintain / elevate ec add biobloom and topmax. Some lower leaves had been taken off, I will see how much they are going to stretch and then decide, where and how many leaves I will take of. Also, depending on the development especially in height I will decide what to do with the lower parts..... Not sure yet Wether to cut them off or keep them. If they stay small I will let them there, if they gain at least 100% height, what I dont think, then I will check Wether it's better to chop them... Another thing I have changed is light intensity. I am using 75% now basically and if weather allows, I go to 100%. I could sit there and watch them grow all day........ Is anyone else fantasizing about growing 100plus strains at a time????

Huntablunt 1 plant, the smallest and bushiest is just showing gender, so it's about 1 week behind the others. 1 plant is in between and showed gender about 3/4 days ago. The rest is more or less in the same stage, about 1 week ahead. So what I am probably going to do is harvest the latest plant a bit early, to avoid cutting the others too late, since I must chop them all the same day, due to smell and drying possibilities. Ec is now at 1.3 and everything looks OK. Just 2 plants seem to have a small problem with nutrition (due to ec change and the stage they are in) and/or moisture, since I watered them a bit too much the last days. Their leaves partly have a green which looks a bit too light. But I will check and see wether they will stick to the nutrition, or if I should change again, but intuition says, they will adapt as they get into blooming. I also removed more leaves and I think now I am done doing so, maybe just a bit here and there the next few days. Now I obviously get more and more excited to see them budding....... If one would ask right now I would say....... The small and bushy pheno is not really worth growing indoors, but maybe it will teach me different. Update day34 I am worried about the big plant, because she seems to have a deficiency. Really crazy, thinking how much they get fed....... I bought algamic and cal/mag, hoping this will do good, because it's too long to go to just ignore it. I used it yesterday and it will see. If this won't help I may have to think about giving her even more nutrients, which to me would be kind of crazy, since ec is at about 1.4.

Huntablunt High guys, We are in the mid of week 6 and I am getting worried...... Got deficiency problems which I can't exactly explain, just guess..... Why? Because I changed several things at a time, so now I feel dumb and have to do my best..... So what's up?? Everything went totally smooth, but about a week ago, 2 plants started to show nitrogen deficiency, we'll that was what I thought. So I increased the amount of biogrow, to get rid off that. Curiously, it didn't really seem to change, so I thought I may have watered a bit too much. Then I left them dry a bit, not watering. Problem didn't go away and started to show signs of other deficiencies such as potassium. I was really confused, because I really feed them a good amount. An amount that actually should be enough to not see problem increase this way. So I was guessing.........have I maybe over time not kept soil moist enough in the entire pot so saltproduction caused root burning?? Well, I did wash the soil, deciding to see how they react and be sure to at least keep out this possibility as a reason. I can see different types of symptoms on the plants........ Makes it a bit complicated, calculating feeding 6 times different. Never had such an amount of problems with feeding........ So, what did I "learn"? First it was stupid to change more than one factor at a time. I knew that, but since everything was well didn't expect this outcome. Besides, I never had deficiency with iron, Mangan for example and didn't have proper products at home.... Never do that again. I am not sure, but I think it is as well due to a crazy short life cycle that you have to be very observative with nutrition and be aware you may have to feed insane amount of nutrition. I really thought I was exaggerating feeding this time, but no...........makes me a bit "pissed" about myself 😂 hopefully I can manage it best way possible, finish and keep that in mind for the next grow.

Huntablunt So, start of week 7...... At the moment I can't give you exact feeding amount, because I have to adapt to every plant differently, due to the different deficiencies. Plants look good though, the cherry cola buds start smelling and it's awesome, can't wait to test. The bigbud will take longer if I see bud development. But holy, they seem to be good yielders. Just curious to see how fat they will become. Update day 46 After some days of individual feeding the problem seems to be more or less settled. Only the big bud get extra nitrogen, cause it looks like they inhale it like I will do to their buds later:) So here is the 2 feeding schemes I am using now......All calculated per litre......the now receive about 750ml-1l of nutrition, besides the normal watering Sorry, I tried editing the format so it is clear which ammount belongs to which nutrient, didnt really work out.......only biogrow has two different ammounts.... Biogrow 1.5ml / 5ml Algamic 2ml CalMag 0.5ml Biobloom 4ml Topmax 4ml Canna TraceAmix 1ml And now imagine, I had to give them even more for about 2 weeks, as they were showing increasing deficiencies. This is by far the hungriest bunch of Ladies that I have grown. As far as I can guess from today, I think I will have to harvest on 2 different dates unfortunately. This really wasnt the plan and needs extra investing in another filter/vent for drying. Well, so I am forced to use my second tent, really horrible,lol........I already see me vegging while blooming haha. 3 cherries will be finished at week 10, the other one (the cripple I mentioned during vegetation) will need about two weeks more. I gues she will finish together with the bigbud. Concerning the "cripple" I have to say, it is not due to bad genetic......This one was just very sensitive with the ammount of light she got the first 2 weeks and this made her very slow in her development. About the bigbud I also made a mistake which was pretty stupid I guess.........She showed gender and I switched nutrition, but with the same ammount as the cherry cola, not keeping in mind she will need a bit longer and therefor needs to be fed differently. I guess that caused the problem for her. Well, we never stop learning, as long as our Name is not Donald J Trump..... What else can I say...........in an hour and a half the light will turn on and this time wont pass by, as I am fucking curious....... update day 47 Well, it is freakin insane........I increased watering level to 2,5 l per plant........like 1l pure water and then 1,5 nutrition.........cant believe myself. Fucking junkies,lol...............I will see what they did until tomorrow. But it looks like, they just can^^ Besides, I would love to live in this tent right now.......I am "checking" like 5 times a day and it seems they always get just a little bt bigger......IT maybe due to my passion got lost for many years....since I didnt want legal problems and so on.....I just feel happy in my element.........I just love it........good grow to everyone with the same kind of passion..........you guys know its so,nothing special (and I dont mean my ladies, just the general approach from real growers) So, here is another lyric I written I dont remember when....... When time is passing slowly The holy day comes near We´re waiting, hesitating Being nervous, awful fear It gives me joy to watch it But now all must disappear Slowly 3 long month have passed And now my dear.... I cut your head off! And your arms! The smooth smoke She makes me calm This is why I love my palm As I comfort them They get older During childhood And adolescence Until grown up They get much bolder But now I need the essence Of my love, my work, my stress I never mind and will confess I am a legal criminal And so I say Jah bless

Huntablunt Hi guys, its start of week 8........3 cherries look quite close to finish, the "cripple" is now getting started.......One BigBud could need a week/2max to grow to "full" potential. Again I have to ask myself.....Damn, harvest all at once or in 2 steps? I will see at the end of this week, if it is an acceptable compromise to chop them early. Actually I would never tend to do so, but atm my space is limited and its a question of convenience on enhanced level,lol. Looking at 3 of the cherry cola plants, I am wondering if I stop feeding the cherries now and allow them about 10 days with just water. They look like they would have enough nutrients for their last days and still adding wouldnt change much. The other cherry and the big bud will receive nutrition still this week and then I will change to pure water. So I decided to just water from now on, to be sure there is enough time for flushing What I did notice btw is the changing smell of the cherries. It turns from a very gasy note into something smoother, more "berryish", fruity and I guess, with some type of earthy background. Those are characteristics I really like and I am now gettnig more curious to try the cured harvest. So far it seems like fastbuds did nt promise to much. Besides I see now the bud color changing. They turn more blue/slight violet/red whereas one seems to stay greener. The lloks are amazing anyways and buds look frosty. They are really dense so I must be very careful to avoid budrot, so I will dry them cured I guess, cause loosing something of thiese buds would really suck. The bushy phenotype was the most difficult to handle......I guess one MUST try to train her as soon and far as possible and ruthlessly cut of leaves/branches/lower parts to let her grow to the max. By now I say this pheno is "the looser" of this grow, but this is actually not quite fair, because there was no plant in this grow that was truly disappointing. The bigbud showed also 2 phenos from 2 seeds, but both are worth growing and I would recommend to train her and also get rid off lower parts to support the upper buds. Both phenos are very productive and even though I fckd up nutrition for them, they still seem to deliver a quite good result. I still have 2 seeds and will most definetly give them a try another time and do it better. As far as I can say now I would say the bigbud would win concerning yield, whereas the looks and smell of the buds goes clearly to the cherry cola. Anyways, even though they still have to go a bit......I would recommend both strains without a doubt. Both have great potential and of course it depends on preferences.
