So where off !
Well these seedlings have got off too a great start , I did not pop the seeds into water for the first 24 hours this time , I just placed into a peat pod and within 3 days they broke the soil , so about the same time too germinate than both methods , I started them off at 200 watts of my 600watt dual spectrum bulb
Ok so right out of the bat this smoothie plant has shoot right up and all the fast buds plants are all around the same size And stage of growth , the nodes on this girl how ever are alot closer together making lst impossible , but that's fine ,
This week I had too change my lighting too 600 true watts of kingbo dual optical LED range using there 900watts and 600watts light but I've worked out what they draw from the wall is actually 600watts so that is more accurate , the temps getting closer too 30c than I would like , and by doing so I have now got a constant temp of 26c lights on and 18c lights out
So these ladies are in full swing of flower and the stretch I have tucked any branches I can under my netting too spread out the plants and too fill the tents canapy they are growing about 1 or 2 cm every other day at the moment so tucking under is the order of the week
Really into the massive stretch now I am having too move the climate control probe and thermostat every day now and these girls will soon cover the WiFi camera too , probably growing around 2 or 3 cm per 24 hours at this stage , " day 4 of week 5 "
The tent is filling up nicely but the fbt7 is a clear winner so far , be is my cock up of snapping the main stem and fixing it ? The ftb7 is double the size of all the other 3 plants and is a very nice little bush , the smoothie has been very consistently healthy and vigorous and is around 22cm now and is one I did not lst , the BlackBerry has finally woken up and is now the same height as the others another plant I didn't lst , the c1 started very vigorously and was strong , them week 3 started too show signs of very early flower , she is now is fully fledged flower at week 5 and looking fantastic , and I was lucky enough too get all the side branches out and bend over the main cola too the netting and has made up for in lst what it lacked in size due too the early flowering ,
So it seems this lady is ripening up rapidly at week 6 without fattening up , and without warning , this is ment too Finnish at week 8 or 9 so I have still been feeding her , the trics are going cloudy now so I will be flushing from now on , but doesn't look like this plant will produce a great deal ,
So it's safe too say I am not overly happy with this plant or what she produced , she has had the best of the temperatures and absolutely no nutrient deficiencies at all and still looks lovely and healthy , but I will now give her a two weeks flush and see what she does , but I wouldn't think that she will swell up much more if she is ripening but let's see
This lady Finnished very early at week 7 didn't really fatten up , she is 100% cloudy and around 15% amber I am sure it's just one of those things and I ended up with a defective gene on this plant as she only spent 2 weeks and 5 days in flower , I have seen others grow a really nice and bulky plant on here , so I will try this strain again at some point , I had 4 plants in the same space all fed the same and 3 turned into monster plants with huge yelds so I have scored this plant a 4 star as mine was a complete waist of effort but I have seen smoothie plants on here that did perform fantastic , but I cannot give a plant that only flowered for 2 weeks before it ripened any higher than that otherwise I would be a kiss arse and a lier and the photos speak for them selfs , if I was too say what a fantastic plant it was and someone looks at the diary they can see for them selfs it wasn't lol
That being said , this is the risk you take with autos they have always been an unstable gene pool , sometimes you strike it lucky ,
And sometimes you get plants that come out like this , odds are the next one will be a nice plant but the fact that I had 3 other plants that where planted on the same day , in the same soil , with the same environment and nutrients shows it was not an environmental issue or poor keeping ,
I will give it another go at some stage but for now I have lots of other genetics I need too try , thanks for reading ,
What should we say. 1a Grow, your plants are doing great. Now is the time to start with our ORGANIC MORE PK Booster.
Furthermore, even with this genetics and the use of our products maximum success desired.
@GreenBuzzNutrients, thank you for the advice , I mix a new bucket of feed today so I will be sure too add the pk at 50% strength ,
It's this kind of advice a newbie like me needs :)
@CRiSPrGrow, yea man , first fun is on the go now , an 8 hour tincture made from a polish vodka that is 95% vol , it reads after 8 hours your left with a paste
@CRiSPrGrow, yea man , just running the first run now , 5 cups of alcohol tincture , this Machine is genus , decarb it , press two buttons and got back 8 hour later
To me there’s many more reasons than the fact it’s down to genetics, you sure you’re growing her right? Autos are sensitive so really just water,molasses, rain water, compost teas, himic acid teas which are extremely easy to make by scratch, and dude mycorrhizal fungi ;) soil plays a huge role also so make sure you get that bit right. I grow organically I highly recommend it very very cost effective, and you will learn so much more and probably look back and think wtf why was I buying this and this when I can now make it myself etc, cultivate a broad spectrum of diversity my friend. Plant hormones can be collected easily from any other plant I recommend corn and alfalfa, aloe vera, and coconut water not to much at once and dilute in water. Also kombucha is a useful organic fertiliser and also lactobacillus serum or some call it EM-1 effective micro organisms. Feed the soil and the plant will take care of itself :) you don’t have to be a microbiologist or soil scientist brother, the cannabis community wants you to know this stuff and it’s all on YouTube for free so I highly recommend checking out these sources if you wish to learn more because these guys I feel will take you to another level allot higher that the one you’re currently at now, no offence.

@Fatnugs,
That all sounds fantastic and very complicated ,
I am a very simple man and like too keep things as simple as possible because I do not understand the who's and whys of any of this yet ,
This plant here was sadly a runt plant and nothing too do with environment as the other 3 plants grown at the same time show,
So I am not taking responsibility for this smoothie lol
But I'm sure the next one will fantastic
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto myself. Got about 63 grams off her,check it out if you can ! I wish you the same success. Good luck with the rest of your grow.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, thanks ,
These plants really do grow them selfs , I have a grow tent somewhere else and only get too go there once or twice a week , so I do not do much in the way of tending too them , I just make sure my temps are low and am carful when I mix up my nutrients ,
I have found that any addatives that don't contain N-P-K go in at full recomend dose and the veg and bloom feed at half strengh seems too work well for automatic flowering plants works best without causing nutrients lock out ,
