CandyQueenAuto Hey everyone 👋🌱
I'm starting my new grow here and want to share the entire run with you. This time, I've got 3 Autoflowers from Fast Buds:
2x Z Up and 1x Banana Punch (both FastBuds).
I'm especially excited about the development of the Banana Punch and hope for beautiful colors and lots of frost. I'll document the whole grow step by step here – from start to harvest.
Looking forward to exchanging ideas with you and can't wait to hear your opinions and tips! 🌿

Germination Method 🌱
I germinated the seeds using the classic method with a damp paper towel. I placed them between two slightly damp paper towels and put everything in a closed Tupperware container to keep the moisture constant.
I moistened the paper towel with pH-adjusted water. After about 24 hours, the seeds had already opened, and the first root tips were visible.

CandyQueenAuto Seedling Phase – Day 1 🌱
On 08.03, the seedlings emerged from the soil. Already after one day, there was a noticeable difference in growth: The BPP was about 2.6 cm tall, the Z-Up on the left was about 4 cm, and the Z-Up on the right was approximately 2.5 cm.
To increase the humidity for the young plants a bit, I placed slightly damp glasses over the seedlings. The lamp was running at about 150 watts during this phase at a distance of approximately 50 cm.

CandyQueenAuto Seedling Stage – Week 2 🌱
The plants are developing well. At the beginning of the week, I watered each plant with about 1.5 L, since the pots are air-permeable and this helps maintain higher humidity in the tent. I also set the light to 180 watts.
On 16.03., I measured: Z-Up (left) 7.5 cm, Z-Up (right) 7.5 cm, BPP 5.8 cm.

CandyQueenAuto Vegetative Stage – Week 1 🌿
All plants have now entered the first week of the vegetative stage. On 22.10., I watered with pH-adjusted water (6.2) and, for the first time, added nutrients from Hesi (TNT according to the feeding schedule) as well as Plagron CalMag Pro at 1 ml/L.
I also gently bent the upper fan leaves to the side and slightly downward to allow more light to reach the lower branches. Additionally, I set the light to 240 watts.

CandyQueenAuto Week 4 – Transition to Pre-Flower 🌸
During this week, I mostly watered with plain water and fed once using the bloom feeding schedule from Hesi, as the first signs of pre-flower started to appear.
Overall, the plants remained very healthy and continued to grow well.
