Master_weeda Hello to all the padawans and Jedi masters First of all, thanks to FastBuds for allowing me to be part of the testers for their new autoflowering genetics, and to Greenhouse for letting me do this grow by providing the Greenhouse feeding and seeds. I remind you that I'm simultaneously growing 9 pots of 10 and 11 liters in a box designed for 4, and that I only use the bare minimum of equipment necessary for a proper grow at the lowest possible cost. EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION Box 80×80×160 Lamp led Lampwin 300 watts ×2 Clip fan 15 watts Xiaomi Deerma humidifiers 5L Hygrometer thermometer Extractor PROFAN 107 m3/h - 100 Programmable electronic socket ×2 1 black square pot 10 liters Greenhouse feeding enhancer Greenhouse feeding biobloom Greenhouse feeding biogrow Biobizz lightmix substrate Wire and cutting pliers Microscope Small precision scale GROW STEP BY STEP I first germinated my seed with the Easy Start from Royal Queen Seeds and I’m pleasantly surprised because honestly the success rate is very high (17 seeds out of 19), easy to use, and very effective. Once the seedling is out and about 2 or 3 centimeters tall, I gently take it and place it directly into its final pot. I recommend pots ranging from 10 liters to 15 liters for autoflowers grown indoors. The pot will have been previously prepared (video in diary) with 30 grams of Greenhouse feeding biobloom and 30 grams of Greenhouse feeding biogrow, which is the equivalent of 3 grams per liter of substrate. I then place the seedling in its final pot, cover it a bit with soil, lightly compact it, and water to keep the substrate moist, no more. I place my 300-watt LED lamp about 90 centimeters from the seedling with a light cycle of 24/24 for a week. At the beginning of week 2, the light cycle will switch to 20/4 thanks to a timer, as this is the light cycle that offers the best yield for an autoflower. Day 1: light watering Day 2: light watering Day 3: the seedling starts to be more vigorous, setting up ventilation to increase its root mass and light watering Day 4: watering with one and a half liters of water pH 6.3 to which I added 0.9 grams of Greenhouse feeding enhancer (so 0.6 grams per liter of water) Day 5: no special technique Day 6: no special technique A pleasantly calm week with no apparent problems or deficiencies May the force be with you!

Master_weeda Hello to all the padawans and Jedi masters For this week 2, no techniques practiced, I just monitored that the humidity stays at a rate of 70%. I did a light watering until day 10 because the fact that the autoflowering plants are transplanted into their final pots increases the risk of overwatering the substrate. 🤐 To mitigate this risk, it's better to water with 10 or 20 centiliters of water at pH 6.3 during the first 10 days of the seedling. On day 11, I water my pot normally with a quarter of its volume in water (for a 10-liter pot, 2.5 liters) still with a pH of 6.3, I add to this water 0.6 grams of greenhouse feeding enhancer per liter of water. 👍 Enhancer is a mix of humic acids, seaweed extracts, strains of Trichoderma harzianum, and Bacillus subtilis. It increases the vitality of the plant, improves nutrient absorption, and enhances soil quality. 👍 I will do a similar watering in 2 weeks May the force be with you 💪

Master_weeda Hello to all the padawans and Jedi masters! For this week 3 on day 19, my plant is 16 centimeters tall and its sixth node is appearing, so I decided to practice some LST on my plant. For this, I'm using galvanized wire that I plant directly into the substrate, being careful not to damage the roots because let's not forget that what grows above also grows below. Day 17, I'm spraying a solution made of one teaspoon of soft black soap diluted in a liter of water as a preventive measure against potential pests. I'm adjusting my LST according to my plant's growth... May the force be with you!

Master_weeda Hello to all the padawans and Jedi masters For this week 4, I'm fine-tuning my LST and trying not to stress my plant before it enters flowering. I'm combining LST with Apex pinching to strengthen the secondary branches of my plant. I'm weighing my pots to monitor my plant's water needs. I'll water at the right time with a quarter of the pot volume using pH 6.3 water, and I'll add 0.7 grams of greenhouse feeding feeding enhancer per liter to it. Day 25 watering. A little reminder of what Apex pinching is: Pinching cannabis plants Close to the principle of apex pruning, this technique has several advantages, the main one being to maintain the large central bud of the plant, with maximum production and quality. Pinching cannabis plants Apex pinching (the top of the plant) simply involves gently pinching the stem of the last tier of the plant between the thumb and index finger until you feel the fiber crush under your fingers with a characteristic little crunch sound. If the available space on the stem of the last tier doesn't comfortably allow you to place your fingers, you should pinch the tier below instead. Pinching will significantly slow the vertical growth of the plant while stimulating the development of the secondary branches, thus giving the plant a bushy shape. The plant will take a few days to repair this pinching, forming a knot at that spot, and will then continue its growth normally. Pinching can then be repeated if necessary on the newly formed next tier, as well as on any secondary branches that might exceed the apex. Pinching is therefore an excellent technique for achieving a nice, uniform green wave canopy. By regularly pinching the apex of the larger plants in your space during the growth phase and at the beginning of flowering (stretch), you'll easily get plants of uniform height in full bloom, which will facilitate cultivation and increase final production, especially if you're simultaneously growing multiple marijuana varieties. With a little practice, pinching can be done as quickly as effectively. In case of pinching too violently resulting in a torn apex, it will simply produce the same results as a classic apex pruning, which won't be dramatic. Apex pinching and LST are, for me, two inseparable techniques; they will allow you a more homogeneous canopy, thus better light penetration and consequently better yield. May the force be with you.
