Aeromatics I hope for success on this one because the review and description on Fast Buds seem delicious! Z-Up Auto will be grown in a mixture of 1.5 Gallons loosely packed Happy Frog and around a quart of perlite with 2 tablespoons of Xtreme Mykos added to the substrate. I germinated her in a bit newer method for me, using OrganiPlugs. Thus far, I have been able to germinate and successfully grow about 10 plants using this method, and it is super easy! All I do is add the seed to the plug, place it into the tray (I cut a 6 x 2 piece from the 50 piece propagation tray they sell), placed the tray into a ziplock bag with a bit of air, and wrapped the bag in a few towel rags to prevent light penetration. I added a squirt of distilled water (about 5 - 10 ml) into the bad Once wrapped, I placed in a saucer and put it into my 2 x 4 tent (which is running 20/4 for my other autos). In about 3 days, the seedling emerged and a nice taproot sprung from the bottom of the cube, easy peasy! The OrganiPlugs really help me feel confident in the process and I must say, they are nice to use! Plus, I get to add some Mykos when I add the plug into the soil, which is a huge benefit in the process. I did just that! I added around a tablespoon in and around the planting site into my 2-gallon pot and planted her gently. I consider 8/4 my day 1 for this beautiful seedling and let's hope for the best! One thing I learned from my last two grows: Using distilled water, it is 100% mandatory to add Ventana Plant Science Support (or any CalMag product) to EACH water! I calculated, and each 1 ml/gallon adds around 70 PPM, so I will add, at the very minimum, 2 ml/gallon to each water to ensure no CalMag issues for this girl. The website description says she is a light eater, so I will be sure to take this into consideration throughout the process. Let's hope for the best and good vibes on Z-Up Auto!

Aeromatics Week one is going great! Plant health is looking solid, and I think I am going to keep this one as simple as possible. No training, at least during the vegetative stage. Watering is super simple. On day 3, I gave 50 ml around the OrganiPlug and 200 ml in a circle around 2 inches from the seedling site. On day 7, I gave another 50 ml on/around the OrganiPlug and upped the water to 300 ml in the same circle. I expect to see some great growth throughout the next week, and I will likely introduce some vegetative nutrients at 1/4 strength for one water. Good vibes heading into week 2!

Aeromatics Week 2 is looking good! For these first two (and maybe three weeks), I am keeping the nutrients simple and trying to lt her settle into the soil before going into a 1/8 to 1/4 nutrient load. For this week of waters, I added around 2.5 ml Ventana Plant Science Support to 1 gallon to Distilled Water with 1 ml/gallon of Tribus. On day 10, I gave her 50 ml on the OrganiPlug and 300 ml in a nice circle to promote root growth. On day 13, I gave the same 50 ml on the OrganiPlug but upped it to 500 ml in the same circle, she looked healthy. Today was a big water (day 14). We went with 1 liter of that same solution in the well-established watering rim around the 2 gallon pot! I am going to see what days 14 to 21 bring, but I am thinking of giving her a 1/8 nutrient dose (with a touch of stash blend) and then hitting her with a regular water to try and front load a touch for the big strength from week at week 4. All and all, I am feeling good about this! A bit short and stout, but for this grow, I am FOCUSED on simply letting the plant grow and accepting what it gives me. I don't want to stress, manipulate, or try to do too much on this one haha!

Aeromatics It's day 22! First three weeks have gone great! I have really resisted the urge to do any early stage defoliation as I am trying to REDUCE ALL STRESS to this girl before she starts to flower. I have tried to tuck and tie down all larger fan leaves that would normally block nodes, and I think that has been going well. It's been tough to resist, but I'd say the method is resulting in better growth overall. 3 waters this week: 8.19 (Day 16) - 1.5 liters of .39 ec ph 6.49 distilled water with Ventana Plant Science Support and Tribus 8.22 (Day 19) - Started Veg Nutes! 2 liters distilled water with Ventana Plant Science: 1 ml/g Grow 2 ml/g Support (need to start full strength 5 ml/g for future waters) 2 ml/g Tribus 8.24 (Day 21) - She was light and thirst, so another 2 liters of the same mixture. However, on day 21, I started to notice the same signs of early CalMag deficiency as I had with my previous Banana Purple Punch, even though I've been working to try and avoid it. Darn! Good news is, I have experience with it now! So to address this issue as quickly as possible, I went in this morning (day 22) and gave her a booster shot of .6 ml VPS Support in 500 ml of water slowly poured into the soil. I am not worried about overwatering at this point, as she has been drying out decently in between each water, and I'll be sure to let her dry out before the next water. I'll also bump up my base Support addition to full levels of 5 ml/gallon moving forward in each water. My hope is to avoid any significant damage like Banana Purple Punch went through! Fastbuds says Z-Up Auto is a light eater, so I was to stay cautious but vigillent with CalMag. I did stake down the main stem today, it was too hard to resist working towards that even canopy! No leaf removal though haha!

@DutchBarnacle, She's looking good, growmie! Showing signs of that CalMag issue already, but hopefully I learned from my previous grow. I gave her an extra shot this morning to help her out. All in all, I am happy thus far!

@Aeromatics, thanks for the update! Regarding your temptation to remove leaves, I reckon you can safely remove the largest, lower leaf that is almost touching the soil since it's not receiving any direct light. I hope the magnesium deficit will be solved with the extra shot of CalMag!
