Fastbuds - Gorilla Glue Auto

Hi guys, this is my second grow now and I decided to upgrade from smart pots (fabric) to airpots. I ordered a 12 litre airpot to try out in my tent. My tent is only 40cm x 40cm x 140cm so the pot almost fills the tent! Won't be able to get any more plants in the tent in this run. Only just about room in there for the airpot and my OGKZ pot noodle experiment!

Went on holiday last week, so wasn't around for week 2 after sprouting. I fully saturated the coco before I left and set up some jars of water with string in them going into the soil as a backup watering system for if the pot dried out too much. Just got back and the plant is looking healthy! Sorry for bad quality pictures this week, I forgot to take some! I had to extract these images from a video I made, doh!

Starting with some basic LST this week. Nutes at full strength now.

Put the light cycle to 12/12 as my pot noodle plant is a photoperiod. Would like to keep more light but as I only have one tent at the moment there's not many options for me to choose from. Sorry forgot to take a photo of the plant this week, but you can see it in the background of the pot noodle image I took. I'm still LST training, the main stem has gone from the centre of the pot, more towards the outside edge. I am now training further in a clockwise spiral.

Sorry for not taking photos of the plant directly again! I have another image with it in the background though so you can kind of keep track of the progress. Thanks

Flowering has begun! Continuing LST, not defoliating yet. One stem higher than the rest so trying a little supercropping / HST on that one branch just to experiment. Sorry the images were extracted from a video, hence the poor quality.

Bought a CO2 bag online to help with carbon dioxide levels in the tent. Not sure how reliable these are but worth a shot for 2 quid!

Hey guys, just a quick update. Took some photos today so thought I would upload them so you can see the progress. I did some selective defoliation yesterday hopefully that will help her focus her energy on creating buds. I think I might have taken a little too much off at once so hopefully the growth won't be stunted. I'll see how she recovers over the next week :)

Continuing with LST and small amount of defoliation to expose the lower bud sites to more light. Also... dressed the plant up for the fastbuds xmas competition 😂

Continuing with defoliation this week. Flowers seem to be swelling still. Soon to start flushing!

Flushing started getting ready for harvesting next week!

3oz dry weight from 1 plant! The maximum I've managed before was 18g and 20g per plant so a huge improvement from my first grow. Only issue is the buds came out airy, the tent was a bit hot throughout so think I need to up the airflow to remove excess heat in future grows. :) I've sealed the bud into mason jars now for curing, hopefully should be smokable in the early new year!
