Guava Auto

Raffael Everything is going great with the guava :) I'm really looking forward to it 😍

Raffael 🌱 Guava Auto from Fast Buds – Starting the second week of vegetation The Guava Auto has now entered the second week of vegetation and is developing really nicely. It shows stable, even growth and overall gives a very vigorous impression. So far, there are no flaws or abnormalities to be found. At the beginning, it looked quite different. The first week of germination was rather slow, and I was starting to think, "Oh boy, is this going to work out?" 😅 But it has impressively disproven that notion. The Guava Auto has really caught up and developed splendidly. It’s almost at eye level with the Z Up in terms of size now. It's even more enjoyable to observe its development now. From a somewhat bumpy start, it has turned into strong and consistent growth – and the little Guava shows that sometimes you just have to give a plant a bit of time. 🌿✨ I’m excited to see how it continues to develop in the coming weeks!

Raffael Week completed – Guava Auto by Fast Buds 🍈🌱 We've reached the end of the week, and the Guava Auto is showing incredible growth! It has really shot up nicely and has even surpassed the Z-UP in height. However, I have to say that the Z-UP looks a bit sturdier and more compact in terms of buds and overall growth. Since the Guava, if I remember correctly, is only one day behind the Z-UP, I must say that the Z-UP has performed a bit better overall so far. Still, the Guava is also extremely strong and making good progress! 🔥 The fact that it has already surpassed the Z-UP in height is definitely promising for its further development. I'm really curious to see how both of them will perform in the coming weeks and how everything will evolve. Just a little note: I'm actually a bit further along and currently in the middle of week five. The update on that will come in about four days. So stay tuned – the Guava Auto is definitely off to a great start! 🍈💚 & sorry that there are only pictures from above, but it's hard to photograph it in the back corner 🤷‍♂️

Raffael Guava Auto (Fast Buds) Development & Growth: What a gigantic stretch! The Guava Auto has had an extremely strong growth phase this week, shooting up from about 25 cm to an incredible 125 cm. It has easily overtaken the Z-UP and now towers about 20 to 25 cm above it. The plant almost looks like a photoperiod one – it has become an absolute monster! I’m extremely curious to see if the stretch will start to slow down now or if it will stretch even more. Honestly, it shouldn’t get much taller, but the dynamics are incredibly impressive. Setup & Lighting: Due to the height growth, I’ve now turned the EVO 4-80 up to 70%. The distance to the top of the Guava Auto is currently about 35 cm. I need to start cranking up the lamp a bit more, as the enormous height difference is naturally increasing the distance to the smaller, lower plants. Appearance & Health: Due to the extremely rapid growth in such a short time, it looks a bit paler in color than the Z-UP – but that’s completely understandable with this rapid stretching. Overall, the plant looks absolutely flawless and vibrant. There’s a small spot on one leaf: since the leaves have overlapped, condensation has formed, which has led to a slight burn under the lamp. But that’s just a localized issue and not a cause for concern. Planning for the next run: Since the development stages in the tent are currently quite varied (the Lemon Cherry Cookies is also still a late bloomer), I will most likely do a partial harvest in this run. This way, the Guava Auto can ripen and be harvested first, while the other plants can catch up under the light afterward.

Raffael Grow Diary 🌱🔥 The Guava Auto from FastBuds is showing incredible growth! I didn't think it would take off like this. Instead of a single dominant shoot, it has plenty of strong shoots at a similar height. Really impressive for an auto! 😍 🌱 Living Soil – just wow! This is now the second run in my self-assembled 300-liter living soil bed, and I’m really excited! The plants are getting about 80% distilled water and 20% tap water. So far, I've only added a bit of Bokashi juice and some Bat Guano. No constant mixing of nutrients and no big hassle – and still, the plants are developing excellently. Even the first grow in this bed completely exploded! On the other hand, I wasn't really satisfied with the Air-Pots. The substrate dried out way too quickly at the edges, and I also had issues with the worms because some of them crawled out of the pots. So far, the large bed works significantly better for my living soil system. Could it also be due to the genetics? Possible! But the difference is definitely impressive. 😂 🦇 Bat Guano and the rusty spots The Guava also shows rusty spots on the leaves. However, it seems to handle it better than my Z-Up. Maybe it's because I mixed the Bat Guano under the mulch layer for the Z-Up, while it was just sitting on top for the Guava. But that's just a guess. 📏 1.40 m – and no end in sight! The Guava is about 30–40 cm taller than my Z-Up. About ten of its shoots are already as strong as the main shoot of my Z-Up. And this is from a plant that’s only about a month and a half old! I haven't seen this kind of growth from an auto before. 😅 Since I'm a few days behind on this update, I can tell you: It’s now even 1.50 m tall! So the growth definitely hasn't stopped, and I've already had to take some initial measures. What exactly happened, I’ll tell you next week. 😉 💜 The flower development The first purple discolorations are already showing on the flowers – even on smaller flower sites further down. This looks really promising and makes me excited for the further development. Let’s see what this genetics can still pull from the living soil. It definitely won’t be boring here! 🌱🔥
