Smoothie Auto 2Fast4Buds organic grow

Week 8, concluding the third week of flowering: Hi(gh) guys! I find it useful to stay critical towards myself because otherwise I’m afraid my progress goes backwards. So a little recap is necessary: I went into this auto-flower adventure unprepared, finding things out as it goes along. These last months I haven’t been actively reading about growing because I’ve other things to worry about right now. So after receiving some constructive criticism I must conclude that I would do very well by growing autoflowers onto coco instead of soil. That’s no biggie, Biobizz’s got coco mix as well so next time that’s my choice. I’m growing inside 18 liter fabric pots, and I’d already learned about those air-pot’s that they dry out much faster than a closed plastic pot, and I guess the same goes for fabric pots. Besides, I was growing inside 11 and 7 liter plastic pots for quite some time, and watering every other day or even two days was not a big problem. For 18 liter pots, the plants seem to drink exponentially more than in smaller plastic pot’s. If I give 1000ml one day, end of the next they are completely dry again! At two occasions I thought to give 1000 and ignore them for two days. That was a big mistake, two autoflowers lost quite some lower leaves and also some fan leaves, that where D and F. And E and F also show little spots on the leaves. Please look at the pictures for that. Then pheno D made me happy at first by the way it was growing, only it doesn’t really smell nice and the bud is small. And like I said it lost much leaf. All in all I don’t think in the end there’s much quality-bud coming off this plant. But maybe it’s a late-flowerer?? Plant E is small, but has got the strongest smell and the fattest buds, that pheno looks healthy apart from the spots, but is going to deliver nice candy for my sweet tooth ;-) Plant F I’m really happy I didn’t decide to cut it down but train it instead! The main cola on this plant is impressive, only the secondary’s look underwhelming at this point. The pheno smell’s also really sweet. Only point of concern are also the spots, although less than plant E. For the rest of the time they get 500 ml’s a day, and one or two times 1000 ml’s. Then I can flush with Ph’ed solution without nutrients, just additives. I’m looking forward to see you back and check on the Smoothie Auto’s progress next week! Grtz, Budcrack ;-)
