12/11/19 - started germination process.
12/15/19- She popped through the soil on. Everything is looking gooooooooood =) have her in a tent with 2 other genetics from MSNL
12/17- First leaves appear
Fast BUDS OH YAH! excited to see these leaves growing . Going to teke it easy with her for the next few weeks.
Day 10- Had to get a humidifier because my RH is to low. Leafs are dry but she's looking healthy to me!
Day 12- Growth is on pace and she's looking happy with her new humidifier . RH is up to 45% and temp is at a constant 80F . Life is good for this young one.
Day 13- Notice the leaves on the third node growing are misshaped on this one. interesting.
Yeah this is pretty common for their purple strains to get some mutated growth but they end up with great buds. It is hard to tell if any issue is going on with the color from the light, but I would check the pH of your runoff just to be safe. As long as the pH is between 6 and 7 then you are good there. And give her a light dose of grow nutrients high in nitrogen and a little calmag if you aren't feeding her something already. It looks like there might be a slight lightening of color in between the veins which would be mag deficiency, but could just be the lighting? I would also try to get the humidity up around 60 and that will make her happier. Good luck!
Headed into week 3. everything looks ok but the leaves are growing funky. Im not sure if this is a mutation or a deficiency . Has anyone ran into this before with an auto flower from Fast buds? color looks fine to me but I'm also pretty new to this so im open to any critical opinions!!
Day 18- She is growing well. At first I thought the deformity was caused by the light but I moved It into my regular auto tent which I've grown my last 8 in fine and its still producing ugly crimped leaves. Must just be genetics!
Day 19- She is one ugly monster! but I love her still. Growing great and responding to LST well.
Day 21- Doing well with LST will continue a bit into weed 4. No nutrient feed so far just foliar feeding with Bloom Khaos
Looks like we are past the worst of the mutations with the growth of the later nodes. The leaves are regular numbered and no longer 3 / crooked leaf growth isn't happening anymore. will continue foliar feed and possibly nutrient feed with NFTG
*I purchased some Mammoth P and will be applying it to all water applications from here out to see if I notice a difference*
Day22- I purchase Mammoth P and I watered this plant with .6 ml a gal @ 6.4ph 100%distilled water *73F 35RH%
Day24- Watered again with .6ml/g [email protected] *75F 38RH%
Day 26- Watered with NFTG feed schedule. Phd to 6.6 (50%distilled water/50%degassed tap water) *75F 35RH%
so this ladies are basking under the SF2000 by spider farmer. I am doing feeds with Mammoth P every watering did my first feed with NFTG nutrients. I have a humidifier but its set up in my veg tent with seedlings so im choosing too spray with distilled water at this point at lights off with magnesium (epsom salt) since the LEDs are very strong im taking precautions and supplementing the magnesium so deficiencies don't occur. The leaves look really healthy to me with only a few of the oldest leaves yellowing.
Day 29- The tent is sitting at 38RH% and 78ish F. The New England weather is so indecisive and its make me loose my mind but luckily my tents have stayed dialed in a are painting steady consilient temps. Growth is starting to show purplish leaves which is cool. She is stretchy and a lot of shoots are forming. hoping they will form into large bud sites and not small ones.
Day 31- LST seems to be no issue she is reaching for the lights! pretty steady 75F in the tent.-NFTG feed W/Mammoth P 6.6 ph
*Foliar feed w/bloom chaos 2 tsp for 23 fl oz
Mid flower NFTG schedule and a compost tea flush along with mammoth p waterings in between all week for this lady. She is growing and trying to catch up to the others! Very happy with her progress but I am also noticing the leaves are changing in color and im not sure if its heat stress to a deficiency I will follow up as I go along in the next week or so
Purple is showing up on the leaves which is cool but she is less tolerant then my other plants under the SF2000.
Feeding with NFTG this week and mammoth P still but using mid flower dosages. Ph water to 6.6-6.8 for these feedings. No foliar feeding , Bloom Khaos is aded to water
I went away for a week and came back to this plant looking heat stressed more. I raised my light up even more but its not burning my other plants. I purchased recharge and cal mag to add on top my my mammoth P. This strain is a lot less tolerant to the the SF2000 than my other plants for sure. Maybe next time around ill dim the light down to 75%
2/10/20- NFTG advanced nutrient feed W/MammothP, Cal-Mag/ defoliated some fan leaves
2/12/20- Watered with Recharge (double the strength), Cal Mag, and Mammoth P at 6.5 Ph
2//15/20- Got rid of some more unwanted leaves . She is doing well now.
Day 56- Starting to frost up. She's not as thick as my other autos but she sure has way shinier trichs than the rest. I like the pronounced purpling also. Im hoping she kicks it into turbo drive this week and starts to bulk up.
Day 61-WOW she is really colorful in so many ways. The leaves are sun damaged but under control now but the buds are forming jut fine and turning a nice purple. So many trichomes, making this plant shine like crazy.
Looking like the second to last week in my opinion. Going to stop all neut feeds and just keep it light this week. Will post updates as we go on throughout the week.
Day 64-Now watering
Day 65-Hit her with the Hammer!
Day 66-68 No water
Day 69- Heavy water flush . around 2 gallon flush
Second week of straight flush and no nutrients. Only one water on day 75 and that's it. I threw her into the darkness tent on the last day of the week and she will be headed into 36 hours of darkness beofr the chop!
This bud smells like straight lemon mixed with berries its the craziest thing lol. Hits very smooth and goes straight to your head! Mellows out into a more indica high but I definitely get a mix of both sativa rush and indica relaxation. Unique in almost every way I can think of. Definitely not the easiest strain to grow I found her pretty sensitive to light and nutrients early on. Regardless the color and the high are a show stopper and all my friends and myself really dig this strain.
I think this was a really cool plant to grow. She grew small but formed some nice crazy colorful bud full of frost. I learned early on she was sensitive to light but regardless of dimming or raising the light she still crisped up. I run my room at 75-80 so its not really that hot so im not sure about this one! my other plants loved the light /heat and grew into monsters , this one became a little monster of her own.
Not the most beautiful structure but the color compensated for that. LST worked but im not sure I benefited a whole bunch. I would also recommend going light on the nutrients she didnt seem to need a lot. Pushed out 1.5 oz dry so I was actually surprised about that!
@DOOBS_N_BREWS, I hear you loud and clear. I love the SF-2000 but I've even mentioned in my diary entries that she is sometimes TOO powerful and even an inch too close can cause problems very quick...😮 But great lamp for sure. I just need to learn how to use it and find it's sweet spot. I personally have height to work with, so I haven't dimmed my SF, but with BC's stretch right now, I may have to bump it down to 75-85% and see how the girls react (Ran out of room and growing too quickly. Triggered flip at 24" when I see now I should have triggered at 18".... You live you learn! Do my best not to fry the tallest girls and away we go. As for oversizing devices that can be turned down, are perfect. I actually oversized my intake and outake too and put them on 50% output with variable motor drives. This way if I expand, I can use the same fans and the CFM would be adequate for the new, bigger space😃. Go big or go home, hahaha.
I like your spray method and will look into this for my night cycle, just so nothing goes wrong over-night. Smart move👍
@JinksyGrows, Thanks dude! this light kicks ass and was worth every penny for my 3x3 flowering tent. The only thing I will say is that 100% wattage is a little too much for seedlings and first weeks of veg and im sure this also depends on tent size its being put it in. Dimming it too 75% power would probably be a perfect solution if your in the same size tent as I, and luckily you can do that, if you have a wattage meter! I also supplement magnesium(epsom salt)/ distilled water in a spray before lights off every other night just for safety precautions. Since the lights are so strong they could be affecting mag intake. I'd personally rather have a light be to strong with the option to dim it then have a light be to weak! so that's my two cents on the SF2000 so far homie!
cheers 👍👊
