Super excited! Been dying to run some @fastbuds beans. First autoflower, first indoor grow for me. I think I did a lot of research on growing indoors. Guess I'll see if I learned anything.
Here we go!
So I thought about starting week 2 but correct me if I am wrong doesnt veg technically start with 3 to 4 nodes? Roughly when they produce 5 leaves consistantly.
Coming along nicely.
Had to take budget closet put of title. Went fro budget to out of control! Haha
Day 19, showing preflower and looking beautiful. Wish she was a little taller but I'll take it. Nodes are stacking super tight. Debating on lst or let her go since it's my first auto..
Growth is really taking off now and she's getting pretty thirsty for a short stack.
Wondering when everyone starts lst on their autos? Debating to train or let her do her thing. I was think between day 21 and 28 to start manipulating the growth a little bit, super careful not to stress her at all.
Depending but the average is to top after the 5th node ( stage of leaves ) . I would say the same for the LST but it is more depending on the shape of the plant , the flexibility of the stem and when the lower stage are starting to have light blocked by the upper
Readjust readjust readjust, as much as possible every couple hours minus the 12 I am at work.
Had to move them set up another lil closet with my old lights. Instead of 6 plants to the lights now there in only 2 plants
Broke a leaf off. Oops. I think she will be alright I really up the water last night so they are going to dry off for a few days I believe
Hardcore lst is going good. Readjusting 2x a day for she is growing pretty quick. Kind of a mainline lst without defoliation. When large fan leaves get in the way I stake them up as well. Only thing is I have to fan her off really well after water or feeding. Excess moisture will build up in leaves since they are bunched up. Been drying her off no problems so far. I think she is just starting her stretch.
Had to defoliate today. She was looking like she couldn't transpire moisture with her leaves all bunched up to get out of the way of growth tips. In the beginning I said I wasn't going to train much or defoliate either. Haha now look at her bahaha
On a good note she has 10 tops already!
Finishing up week 4. Looks likeni may get another week of veg in before she starts to flower exclusively. I plan on giving her veg nutrients as long as I can to persuade her into a longer veg. Never topped her just last
Last week veg nutes trying to make her veg as long as possible. She's fighting to bloom although looks like she's got a good bit of stretch in her
Watered until I could check ph 6.4 ppm 523 run off. Pruned her up reveal her true beauty ha
Gave her last veg feeding I believe. I am using the foxfarm nutes and schedule. Looks like the 12 week schedule will be about perfect for these autoflowers. I did skip tiger bloom in week 5 to get this girl to veg longer. I am guessing if I would have she would be well farther into flower than she is. So shooting for 13 week. 🤞🤞I run a lot longer veg with photoperiods than the 4 weeks.
She's begging for bloom nutes and red light. Fighting her to make it until day 35
Switching the nutes up a little going to kick foxfarm schedule at week 5 since technically she will be closer to 6 weeks of actual veg
This weekend she is getting the bloom nutes
She's screaming for tiger bloom. I've pushed her as far as I wanted too. My goal was wait until day 35-40. Obviously she allowed it to happen like a lady hahaha
9-29 day 39 from sprout, first day on tigerbloom. As little experiment I used same nutrients on my gorilla glue. My gg is exactly 1 week behind my zkittlez. I want to see if it will trigger a faster bloom.
I hope I timed the bloom nutrients well enough to get her filled in. First autos so working out the nutrient timing.
Just looking do frosty already!
Some days she grows in height now some days stacking calyxs and pistils. Pretty happen about how it's going. 43 days and she looks like she got a good ways to go!
Showing some leaf problems. Curling g little browning rough feeling brittle. Gave her a pk booster beastie blooms blast night as per schedule. That may help along with backing lights off a little she did grow and fatten a good bit
got a little problem with some browning brittle fan leaves. last few pics please.been on foxfarm schedule whole life and started beastie blooms last night. did have my lights lower than manufacturer's recommendation. Raised back up help me what do your eyes see? Thanks for help
Hi @Litngrn! It seems that your plant is suffering from three different issues. The first one is over-feeding, the 3 fingers leaves are often a sign of too much Nitrogen during the preflowering stage, and the dark green coloration of your leaves confirms that theory. The second issue is a wrong pH range, a rootmass with a 6.8 pH won't be able to handle nutrient uptakes and will start to show signs of disorder (deficiency, toxicity, or lockout..). Last but not least, your plant suffered from a heat-stress and/or light-stress, your light was too close to the canopy and as a result your leaves are curling upward. Give it a break, stop adding nutrients everytime you water, try to stick to the perfect pH range for soil, which is 6.2~6.5, nothing above, nothing below, and raise up your light to ensure a good temperature at the canopy, you can also add a small fan to improve the airflow, static air is much more dangerous than moving air (for heat reasons, but also to fight mold/mildew and bugs/pests). You might need to re-calibrate your pH pen, just to be safe for the last weeks. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊
Day 56. This girl is short no doubt but I think she is really really trichomed/super frosted up. She has a very heavy sweet with hint of a pungent smell. Super stanky! Iam guessing by the looks of her she may have another
2 or 3 weeks left to fatten up a bit more.
She has me in a predicament. Her main cola needs chopped soon like maybe a week and a half. There are many branches not yet mature. I really wanted to hang whole plant.
Starting flush at the end of week
This girl so iccceeeyyy!
Actually still in week 9. I did something wrong on edit/addweek. Shes getting thick but has a few branches that may have to come off a little later
Really watching her trichomes this week. Shes about 80-85% cloudy on her main cola. Few more weeks. Debating on one more feed. Dont know if I should push my luck. And gave her a good 15 gallon flush to start off these final days.
She has a wonderful pungent yet very sweet smell to her.
Another week or so till chop. Water only
Trichomes are getting close. We are getting really close!!!! They are 90% milky and a dot of amber here and there. Due to some slower branches on her I am probably wIt until I seen 65-75% on main cola. That will give whole plant time to get a decent ripen throughout. Shes been on plain water for about a week. Did a small 5 gallon flush when I started the plain ph'd water
Day 79 and we are almost to the finish!!! All cloudy now
Tied some colas back and trimmed some sugar leaves for the ripening
