Day 53 - 12/21
Start of Week 8! Plant 1 is slowly starting to pack on weight at the bud sites. Adjusted the LST on some secondary branches and clipped some light blockers and small growths at the bottom in a semi-lollipop around the first couple nodes.
Good main cola development and a few decent sites down the stem. Just like my smaller LSD-25 in my other diary, it will just be a game of how much bulk I can get on the small plant.
BUT.....
Plant 2 is a WHOLE DIFFERENT beast now. What was once the smallest plant after being cooked under a humidity dome in the first couple weeks, the clock being off has allowed so much stretch π
I gave the plants a 12 hour-ish dark period combined with the slight drop in temp by keeping a window near the tent cracked, it ....KIND OF?! looks like it's about to flip/flipping. The pistils have started to bunch at the top of the main stem instead of pairs at each node.
Plant 2 will be a whole month if not more behind P1 and my LSD-25 but I'm completely fine with that, the size means way better return.
Will probably start 2/3 new autos as P2 finishes through Jan π
Day 54 - 12/22
Gave the girls a 2 gallon feeding of the 1 Tsp Molasses/1 Gal Water mix. Spilt between the two Cali Snows and the LSD-25 from my other diary.
Plant 2 still just GROWING and bigger than yesterday but it looks like the telltale bunching of the pistils is happening at the main bud sites. Seems like my patience waiting for this girl to flower is paying off and will end with the highest yield/best plant from this grow. It will just take an extra month or so π I will definitely be able to start 2-3 more @Fast_Buds autos while Plant 2 finishes up. Just need to choose which ones π
CHRISTMAS - Day 57 - 12/25
Chugging along! P2 is hilariously big in context to P1 and my LSD-25 that were all planted same day π I thought the stretch was done but it has gone up another inch or so in the last day and the pistils are still slowly bunching in what looks like a long overdue transition to flower.
Anyone following along feel free to give advice or weigh in below about P2, is she finally on her way? π
I adjusted LST a bit more and took a couple more smaller random growths from the bottoms that were taking away energy. Really adjusted P2 to expose the large amount of flowers forming.
I'll be without grow lights for a couple days for holiday reasons so I'll be turning the tent towards a large window for natural light and closer to the natural 12/12 cycle. The lights have been on for 72 hours or so to prepare for this and make up some extra bud development.
I've also had very good results with some extra long dark periods during flower on my first grow so I'll roll with the punches πͺ
Merry Holidaze and Happy New Year, next update will be Week 9!
Thanks for stopping by, throw down a like so I can return the favour, will update through the week! π

Week 4 Seedling is wilting/curling! (See Pics) Hard and dark cripsy edges on all growth. I dropped two fan leaves incase it was mold. Looks a tiny bit better the next day after taking off the humidity dome that was on for about 24 hours before noticing the curl.
@GlazedGrow I think you nearly cooked them under the humidity dome as they can attain much higher temps inside than you may think.
To get the best out of those domes you need to mist reguarly and have some type of venting at the top.
As for the plant it should recover with time however because its very stressed I wouldn't feed the nutrients but instead giver her a light feed of a seaweed/kelp
solution this will help in stress recovery . Good luck
Thanks for the love buddy βοΈπ½π― your flowers look amazing too I been thinking about going into autos and seeing how far you can get them in growth etc so next venture will be autos after Iβve done the ffts
@STAYINGONMYMAINCBATORUNTWO,
You too! Love checking through your diaries, have a few more autos to go through before I get back to some Spliff Seeds photoπ
it's very interesting to watch your diary. I wish you a huge harvest of buds.
What do you prefer to use a Bong or a joint. 4-20 Bro.
subscribed and watching your grow.π
Looking cool bro I used to use advanced nutrients myself. Can I ask a question I mean no offence. Why are you not using advance nutrients bud candy and big bud. They would help with bigger yields .
@RastaMouse,
exactly! The 3-in-1 kit was just a "first cheap nutes" I was forced to buy quickly during my first grow last year since I was unaware of how much you had to feed ProMixHP. Didn't realize it was soilless peat-based etc. so I found a good deal combo kit that would arrive next day since the lack of nutes was having an affect on the growth. Like I said definitely getting the job done to a degree but I can't wait until I can start experimenting with more!
Best of luck with your grows too, duderπ
@ThrashedTV_BakedByGlaze, I feel ya bro I started on advanced nutrients then tried canna now I settled on shogun for exactly that reason had great results from all 3 but shogun is way cheaper. Happy growing brother ππ»π
@RastaMouse,
unfortunately no grow budget right now so have to stick with what I got, have always had my eye on more @AdvancedNutrients like Bud Candy and Big Bud etc. but it will have to wait for the sponsorship I guess π
@HazeyBobby, thanks! Wish I could have followed through but trying to keep a better head space to make it happen with my next one.
Have some of their new Original Sour Diesel in paper towel right now!
Hello GlazedGrow =) I am curious about your lighting setup. I just upgraded to a set of better leds with a veg/bloom switch. Sold as '1000w' but I've heard only uses about 130w, it will do for now.
@ThrashedTV_BakedByGlaze, I am happy to be back and my interest in LEDs has piqued. Atm leds are becoming cheaper than ever with more advanced technologies than ever. Very interesting stuff no doubt =) tc and I look forward to following your grow and perhaps helping you along and vice versa.
@Omahoney_Canna_Thusiast,
I have 2 cheaper lights: a "900w" LED that uses 110w and a 45w full spec panel. The 900 is just a low end brand on Amazon like... PHLIZON or something? And the 45w was a no-name overseas order too.
My 900 also has Veg/Bloom switches but it essentially just turns off half the red or blue lights? Which means it's only 450w when I have 1 on, right? I don't even know.
My basic understanding and ability to explain it is that LED watt ratings are "equivalents" to conventional lights that have a lower working wattage. (Making them more affordable on power consumption vs. Grow potential and why they're way cooler temperature wise)
Again, my basic understanding, but your 1000w LED is a lower working wattage and are suppose to mimick the output of say a 1000 HPS bulb by placing many small low watt lights together instead of one large 1000w bulb. (You'll have 100x10W diodes on a board that "equal" a 1000 watt bulb in theory)
All that said, I'm sure the specs on our lights are no where near true. Plus it only cost $160 cdn in a package deal π§
I'd love to explore and experiment with different types but just not in the cards now so LED is my best option for my grow space at this point π
@MrRaid,
I'm excited to give it a try!
P1's mature buds have that bitter skunky sativa smell but P2's developing buds are so Lemony it could write Series of Unfortunate Events novels.
One stayed super stunted and flowered after 3 weeks and one delayed flower by like... 3 weeks and grew to a solid 20 inches (sitting at 16 or so after LST)
Both started SAME DAY and one is 3x the size and about a month behind in flower but not complaining as the yields from the total grow definitely benefit and I can get 2 more seeds going while I finish the last plant.
I got 3 of these going right now and the size is impressive Iβm looking for to the harvest as always lol ! But Iβm glad it was nice smoke for you! Mine are quite a bit bigger and they are at day 31 today!! Iβm hoping for nice tasty smoke!! π₯π₯π₯π¨π―π Good luck on your future grows
