GrOwl Come in, take a seat...... make yourself comfortable and watch with me the Grow of FastBuds Autos this Autumn..... This time, my 1st try to grow Automatics indoors. Placed an order @SensiSeeds and @FastBuds , had build myself a Seed-Vault out of good 'ol Tupperware box that was sprayed black and build in a Thermo-/Hygrometer to store them long term in the Fridge. Did some re-routing of the cables in the tent and cleand it. Set up the 11 Liter Softpods from AC Infinity with a layer of expanded clay at the bottom for about an inch and added fresh LightMix. Gave bit of plain water and waited few days to allow soil life to start. Germination was old style with paper towels in two saucers with one upside down as cover. Every seed had it's own setup. Temp. range 21-26°C. First, I started with 2x FB and 2x Sensi but unluckily the SensiSeed did not germinate. Damn. I was soooo curious to see the Supreme Oak Auto that is a new strain by SensiSeeds. Even about 1 1/2 weeks later, the SensiSeeds did not germinate. The FastBuds were germenating after 3-4 days. Awsome! Hmmmmmmm, do not think it was my fault that the SensiSeeds didn't germ. Identical method like the FB's. To have three ladys in the tent, another FastBud Seed was placed again in paper towel and the saucers, and voila two days later the baby was born..... Soooooo fast! Thanks go out to FastBuds, this one was a PromoSeed and it's the Tropicana Cookies. So this is a FastBuds-Only Party Tent now. To be honest I'm bit disappointed by SensiSeeds...... I love 'em since the 90's when I was in Amsterdam and visited the Shop and Museum. The best souvenir I brought home was their catalog back then. But when it comes to germination, the SensiSeeds are ... hmmmmm ... not the best choice in my present opinion. We'll see what happens to the JackHerrer Fem. next Year or maybe the Supreme Oak Autos, but this will be future project. Will give 'em another try for sure. So the first week was fine, the Blueberry and Lemon Cherry Cookies are four days older than the Tropicana Cookies, but curious to see if it will maybe catch up. Started by placing plastic bottles were the bottom was cut off over the seedlings to form a greenhouse. Guess they liked it. The Light was placed about 50cm over the plants and is set to 50%. Will increase the intensity over next few days but the TropicanaCookies just hatched so will try not to burn her. The weakest of the bunch will set the pace...... Humidity is set to max. 70% rH

GrOwl Start Week #3: Everything goes as planned Lowered the light a bit, now distance is approx. 60cm Today, first time smelled the ladys.... not bad. :-) No training up to now 'cause like to see the ladys grow naturally. Maybe will change my mind in few days. In week #2 first time nutrients starting half of recommended in BB-schedule and also alfa-boost. One time leafspraying with alfa-boost. Btw, the SensiSeed Seeds were still in the paper towels and kept moist all the time. But no germination within 14 days so I will toss them today. Sad.

GrOwl Day 22 / 18 (LCC & BB / TC) Three Weeks in the run. Everything goes as planned. All the ladys are doing well. Healthy and strong. Better to say, but I might be wrong, they explode....... Not sure if this is the effect of Alpha-Boost but I assume so. Personally, the most imprtant thing for me is that I've updated the Grow Lights to AV Infinity IONFRAME EVO3 that has more output power of 280W. Compared to previous IONBORD S24 it has not only more power but also some additional LED's for red and uv. You can see that the ladys like to stretch soon, below the fan leafes there's a jungle. Not far away in time they will see the sun when stretch commenses.... Ya' all, stay blessed.......

Also raised Alfa-Boost. Still no training. Like dem bushy...... And hey, the Guys from AC Infinity send me a replace for the rattling Cloudline S6 Ventilator. Much appreciated! Awesome support!

GrOwl - End of Week 5 / Day 35 (LCC & BB) - Up to the stars.... The ladys are stretching more 'n more..... except one. :-( The Blueberry stalled growing @ 33cm, and I do not know why. She was the fastest with flowering. Hmmmm, maybe her time's over to stretch?? Anyone can be of help here? Because of that assumed, I defoilated her very very lightly. Just to give the inner more light. The other two stretch fine. The LCC leafes hang all the time ever since whereas the TC spreads her leafes like praying. Not sure if this is normal. Watering same for all so I guess not overwatered. The LCC and the BB some light LST was done. Just to give more light to the inside. From today on, nutrician schedule week 4. + AlfaBoost raise to 8ml/L Hope you've enjoyed reading! Tumb's up, stay blessed......

GrOwl End of Week 7 / Day 49 (LCC & BB) - Late flowring reached Hi all! I assume the stage as late flowering for all of 'em. Strech has come to an end. Smell of all ladys is great and more and more intense. Some old leafes turned yellow but I guess usual age and they had to go. Did also a light defoil to deshad the buds. And a little LST here and there for same reason. Added AN Overdive but only half ammount of rec. Just to tickle the plants...... Next shooting session I have to nail the wb. Hm. The Blueberry stays a dwarf. But buds are rockhard. Whole plant turns into a large bud. TC had to accidents. One top cola bud was choped by a falling bar stick. Sad but could have been worse. So shes my baby with a handicap. And accidetially at applying LST the top cola bud snapped......... ouch. So gave support with a bar, and as it looks like she's fine, Fingers crossing. Overall we're fine. Thx for reading! Stay blessed and have an awesome green 2026, GrOwl

GrOwl End of Week 8 / Day 56 (LCC & BB) - Swelling Buds Happy New Year!!! The girls doing well. Due to overfertilisation I stoped the NPK nutrients (Grow + Bloom) and changed watering to daily. Tot. amount of water stays same. Overfeeding was not that much so no flushing was done. Looks like that the situ is getting better. Basically, would be time for harvest now for the LCC. Had a look at the trichomes but very very little amount of amber ones. So I give her one more week. The TC looks like that she'll need two more weeks. The BB needs also one more week I guess. The pH was going down a bit, guess because of AlphaBoost. At least this is stated by the manufacturer. pH is now at 6,5 so we're in optimal position now. Hope it will stay at that value and not going down further. Hope you had a good start of the year! 2026 is promising....... Stay blessed, HaVe FuN!
