Still significant growth every day very healthy no problems so far added diamond reflective Mylar to help light to the lower leaves, tucking leaves daily to get light to smaller ones.

This strain is reacting very well to nutrients no signs of nutrient burn at all leaves nice and healthy, did a light defoliation this week didn’t seem to bother her at all. Cheap co2 bag and air purifier in the tent seems to be helping also, weak smell starting to come from the plant. Possibly in pre flower?

Woke up to her flowering at start of week 5 very impressed with this strain it has thrived throughout so far, light defoliation, slight LST on some branches UNTOPPED as I didn’t dare with it being my first try very resilient strain air purifier helps with the smell and had to buy an ONA gel, starting to look really pretty.

Any tips would be appreciated she’s untopped, low budget grow but seems to be holding its own, I spend a lot of time tucking leaves and re arranging branches to get more light to the lower nodes. Didn’t know what to expect as this is my first grow. Very fast strain to flower!

Hey man, I've read and read and read about autos on the internet and from my experience I can say that from the knowledge that I've obtained you can basically do whatever you want to them (the only thing i have not tried is supercropping). All of my buddies that have tried to grow these say they are not worth the time compared to a photo. I've seen some of the autos they have tried to grow and most of them are very tiny plants which will not really produce anything (the last one I saw was about 6 inches tall with buds on it). With that being said in my diary I tried both fimming and topping 2 early miss autos. The results are a little bit different but considering I think I have had very good results even to some of the auto diaries on here. Dont be scared to defoliate either (I started to try this once big fan leaves started blocking alot of the light trying to get through and I was amazed with the results, just dont go overboard in 1 day). Anyways I guess what I'm trying to get at is dont be scared to try new things and you may be surprised of the outcome. Since starting this journey a little over 3 months ago even I am amazed at what knowledge I have obtained this far. Good luck and happy growing!

Very impressed more bud sites starting to show, started adding some root juice into the feed also put some ground coffee into the soil which has made a noticeable difference(read it on internet) still had no issues with this plant yet EXCELLENT genetics hopefully it keeps up this progress. By the end of this week my runoff ph after watering was at 5.2 so did a flush and got it back up to 6.3 as a few leaves were showing early signs of nutrient deficiency. Ordered some AN ph perfect 3 part feed to keep it at the ph I need hopefully. We’ll soon see next week glad I noticed!

Hi, I’m getting worried about black spotting on a few leaves,white underneath/black on top they are only small? Is this calcium deficiency? I had a ph of 5.3 run off when I noticed, which I got back to 6.2 after a flush no using ph perfect nutes PLEASE HELP I hope it’s not serious

If you're using calmag I don't see how you could be deficient in Calcium. Sounds like some sort of fungus to me. You can mix baking soda with water at 1 teaspoon to a half gallon and spray on the leaves, that will neutralize the pH on the surface of your leaves and prevent the fungus from growing. Apply a couple times over the course of a couple days and see if that helps. Happy Growing!

Had an issue with black leaf spotting, made a spray to try stop it spreading took off the infected leaves, doesn’t look like it’s spread to any new leaves since I started using the spray so fingers crossed, buds starting to form nicely though nice smell coming from her very sweet. End of week 7 I’m seeing orange hairs on my nice sugary buds but is this not to early? Buds are forming nicely very resinous n rock hard but still only quite small. I’m hoping they start to swell over the last few weeks!!

Well I’m at week 8 the buds are looking nice and frosty, tricholmes are just starting to turn from clear in the main bigger buds so gonna cut out the nutes over next few days just feed her water for the next week with bud candy and then start my 2 week flush to get ready for harvest in next 2/3 weeks. Quite happy with how she’s gone considering this is my first ever grow and will be my first harvested plant. Made some mistakes along the way which I have learned from for future grows the buds look beautiful but not as big as others I’ve seen but hey I’m a newbie to this. Smells just like candy very resinous.

Stopped all nutrients flushed through the soil just feeding water until harvest day, took off a few more leaves just going to keep her as she is now. Looks very frosty smells super fruity & potent 90% of the pistils are now orange or brown buds are growing and gaining density daily can’t wait to taste her if she tastes anything like she smells I’ll be happy, I’d say about 10 more days til giving her the chop keeping my eye on the trichomes. Waiting for the buds to start taking energy from the leaves which has already begun by the look of a few of them.

Love the smell of this few days til harvest time been so good to watch grow nice resinous buds full of crystals they’re just at their peak all cloudy some starting to turn amber made a few beginners errors but she’s still turned out great. Got flushed 12 days ago and just been fed water since nice tight nugs, defoliated over time really fruity pungent smell. Lovely genetics from barneys definitely one to grow again. Harvest pics and info coming soon can’t wait to taste her got a nice joints worth to test that’ll be ready in the next few days but full smoke report to come! :)

Hi, I will definitely give it a go! I’m planning on giving her some pure honey with her water when the buds start to form properly to give her more energy and help bud growth. Has anyone else ever tried this with positive results? I’ve read and been told by many different growers either honey, sugar or molasses helping bud production?

I would have probably left that grow another week? 🤔

@Fruitgrower, if I was going for more of a couch lock effect I would have, but I wasn’t. Was at its peak THC level about 10% of the trichomes were amber rest we’re creamy white so it was chop time for my preference of high.

Yeah that’s the plan hopefully I flushed her soon enough hoping for her to be ready by the end of next week, I’m in no rush I’m after the full flavour & benefits ;)

NewbieDoobiescommentedweek 66 years ago
I removed my leaves with the spots as there weren’t that many and increased the cal-mag upto 2ml instead of 1ml, hopefully no more leaves get it. If so I’ll try the banking soda idea to spray onto the leaves. Time will tell.

I have got some bud candy & big bud to start adding next week, I had to flush my soil a lot to get the ph back to normal so I’m going to give her a day or two before starting her on Nute feeds again. Thanks to everyone for their kind comments and support!
