Day 16 ( Today 17th nov): Another week passed and now we are in to the interesting patch that is new ground for me , namely rapid growth and flowering together. Being a photo-period grower , the autos are throwing new curves at me daily. seeing how quickly they change due to their genetic traits is amazing. #1 in the LOS is still a little too pale but mottled looking now instead of bleached out looking. I reckon her roots are nice and adventurous now so should be racing round that big pot grabbing goodies like sonic the hedgehog on crack.
#2 has gone through a rough patch this week and her dis-coloured leaves got worse and had another set to join them !!!. I had been conditioning the coco outside in the rain before the planting so could be something in the pots from then.
#3 is the star of the show so far with great growth and no signs of slowing down. I am now starting to feed at the lower end of the coco feed each watering and being careful with the amounts I use in the LOS but am more confident of not being heavy handed. They all had a life-cycle feed too , so hopefully the pots charge additive will be awake and boost them a bit for their near flowering cycle. I am hoping to top an start their training soon too so should get interesting from this point .
@PrairieFrostGrow,Thanks bud. I am impressed with them so far. Wish I could have sussed what was happening with the poorly girl. been the same throughout the grow ?. thankfully still kicking buds out.
Cracking video there @Ganjagrandaddy (on insulation week 8)
Those growers in California and Australia just don't get what we have to put up with!
However I guess one good thing about winter - no bugs
Tried growing Basil in the garden once and it was eaten alive by mites
@LordAzrael,Lol agree there mate. we had a hot summer here and all us uk growers lost our minds and learnt a lot about bud rot too.!!. This stuff is good for keeping heat OUT too. I got by in some serious ( for uk) temps with no airflow rhrought the loft at all. It got hot but never more than 30°c which was a bonus compared to outside silly temps. I prefer a winter grow for sure now out summers have heated up but these Fast buds in their own fabric pots , will make a brilliant guerilla grow outdoors for us next year. A nice sealed box idea using this outside your tent like a thermal blanket , will allow you a lot of control for very little cost before starting the expensive environmental additions and their running costs. All good mate. keep green
Merry Xmas
