Grow #3 Fastbuds + Mephisto

felixhtram The first 3 days were very hands off. Helped a few freeing them from seed husk. Mephistos 3 Bears OG is already showing the taproot at the bottom. But I will still hold of on transplanting as I will only keep 6 out of the 8 anyways. Maybe that one gets an early transplant on day 5-6. for the others I am aiming to transplant on day 8-9. Also on day 2 I done a foliage feeding of the Silica (2 drop per 1L water at 7.0 ph before and after adding silica) on top of the root feeding as I heard it’s important to frontload it when it comes to autoflower. Also good for the heatstress DLI 15 Day 5- I prepared the autopods + air base in 100% coco coir as I heard you can loose out on the wicking properties of the media. But I honestly don’t know 😅. I made patch of 30 L nutrientsolution (ingredients in week 2) that came to 2.0 EC i gave each plant about 250 ml and pre soak the autopots with around 5 Liters each over an extended period of time. Once the pods stopped dripping, I measured the runoff EC to about 1.4 EC. I will try and get it higher on the day of transplantation. The Apricot and the Z-UP sadly look like they will be the once to get killed as they are just further behind then the other once’s. There are definitely some signs of early stress either from ph drift, heat stress or to many nutes. But the new growth look very healthy. DLI 20 Day 7 - TRANSPLANTING DAY I made a new batch of 30L nutrientwater EC 2.0 and watered the pots again with 2 L each. The Run Off EC is now at 1.8 ish. When transplanting all the roots looked white and fuzzy. Some more established then others. After transplanting each pot got another Liter of nutes so I am pretty sure that the run off ec should be close to 2.0. DLI 23

felixhtram Day 8 - after transplanting 6 out of the 8 seeds yesterday. All plants seam to handle it well. I wanted to use mykorrhiza but it never wanted to wait. I won’t again water till day 12. It will get on more good handwatering till the autopot system will be turned on. Also turned on the second spider farmer 220Pro EVO. Both running at around 90% at the moment DLI 26 Day 9 I installed my new Vivosun VSFL-645W today. I am able to remotely control it with the vivosun controller and it lets me us different spectrums. Right new it’s running the vegetative spectrum. So far it seems good quality. Also will lower the humidity a bit to 70%ish with a steady vpd of 0.95-1.15. DLI 26 - 62% at 1.08m Day 11 - I done about 200ml of a silica foliage spraying. The coco is still quite moist and so I am probably gonna wait 24h to then top water the plants one last time and turning on the system. I wanna make sure the roots are as established as possible but I won’t be there from Monday till Friday. DLI 29-31 - 72% at 1.08m Day 12 - Handwatered around 3.5 L each plant (2.2 EC 5.8 ph. Runoff EC was around 1.9 but ph was 6.5-6.8 Day 13 - the res I prepared was starting to get very cloudy and started to smell. Perhaps the room temperature. I refilled it and only added Canna AB and CalMag without a mixing pump (Note: it definitely helped. I think it must have been the silica. I only do foliage spray from now on but I will try and do it a bit more frequently than recommended.) The solution I prepared for the tank was 20L 1.9 EC and probably a 5.2-5.6 ph. It’s quite low but I know that it will rise in the autopots as the plants are not uptaking any water yet and cause the pot ph was a bit high anyways. But I’ll turn the system on regardless as I don’t see any problems with the plants finding the water I. The bottom of the pot. If they aren’t drinking yet then at least the roots will further develop in the pot till they start to drink. DLI 33-36 Day 14 - Turned on both the autopots system and the airdomes. If I see any bad reaction off the airdomes being on this early I’ll turn them off again but I think in 100% it might already be beneficial for the plants.

felixhtram Day 15 - This is the second time I am growing 3 bears OG as in my last run it hermed on me after a heavy defoliation. I don’t know what in these genetics makes them growing leaves so vigorously 😂 this time I will only leaftuck in hopes for it not to herm. I have high hopes for this strain as I was growing Beary Berry Punch (3BOG x Purple Punch i think) and that one turned almost black. Hope I can get that out of her with this setup. DLI 39-41 at 93% Day 19 - I drained wacht pot as the ph was a bit high. All off them got 5 L of nutrient solution (A+B, rhizo, cannazym, and calcium mag at an EC of 2.2. I decided to only apply the MSA foliarly as I am sure that messed with the ph of the reservoir. I spray a bit more water each time though as it drips into the coco and does at least marginally get uptaken through the roots. For results from the drain see pictures. Also filled up the autopot reservoir with 49 L of nutrient solution with A+B, cannaboost and calmag. I am testing whether boost(organic) works with the autopod. If not I would just add it next week when I drain the pods again. That’s the idea atleast. Reservoir synthetic and then organics with weekly drain. At the moment I am trying to do a heavy leaftucking every few hours to get the side branches to catch up. The have all been drinking from the base as far as I can tell. Some definitely more than others. GC #2 shows a lot of vigour and the 3BOG is getting so leafy it’s hard to keep up but I will not defoliate it till flower. DLI 40-42 at 100%
