Hello everybody
this is my first grow in a 4x4 tent
just became legal up here in Canada last year, so i thought i would give it a try
Thought I would try and stay as close to organic as i could
trying to keep the R.H up around 70-75%
I put a gallon pickle jar 3/4 full of water in the tent and wrapped an automotive battery blanket around it plugged it in.
Worked great!
lowered light to approx. 22-24'' away from plants
keep them nice and compact
had problem with fungis gnats
got some sand from local greenhouse and some diotamaseus earth
boiled sand to get rid of contaminates (be careful)
removed top 1/2'' of soil from each pot replaced with sand sprinkled D.E on top of sand
scratcthed it in watered as normal
seems to be working along with yellow sticky tabs hopes this helps someone out

removed all the LST pipecleaners except for a couple on the N.L#1
all 3 plants were planted at the same time
3rd pic N.L#1 is on the right a little bit smaller
all the plants seem to loving the new light growing like crazy
Just a little update
All three plants are 40 days old as of today Jan 10/2020
As far as the nutrients go, I used Gaia green living soil, so I did not feed
at all for the first 3.5 weeks. I then top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4,
very minimal approx. 15-20ml per 5gal. pot. Also sprinkled harvest farm fossilized bat guano minimal amount per 5 gal pot.
after that waited awile fed a little bit 10ml per 5 gal pot of Gaia green 2-8-4 scratched it in watered normal.
after that I haven't given any food, just some molasses 5ml per liter and some big bud 2ml per liter, watered as normal
more pics next week
can't wait
Hi, has anyone grown lambs breath autoflowering?
Were they short and stuby like mine?
how long from sprout to flower?
PKG. says 7 weeks, just curious how accurate this is.
Any help would be great Thanks😎
hello everybody
found out these plants will take a little longer than I thought
So I top fed them 45ml per plant gaia green 2-8-4 power bloom
watered in with 1.5L did this yesterday
this morning I fed each L.B 2ml big bud and 5ml molasses 2L water
and I fed the N.L.half that amount.
After supper split 2L between all 3 plants
so far everything is looking good starting to get really smelly and sticky
could not keep my hands off so I defoliated both L.B. a little bit and the N.L. alot
thanks everybody for watching will post more pics end of the week. Grow Big👍

Hello Everybody😎
I know I am a little bit early but I just couldn't wait, today the plants are 47 days old😛
I added a co2 can to the tent(plastic disposable, you have to shake it a couple of times per day, cover it at nighttime.)💪
I haven't changed to much in the feeding schedule
L.B#1-2, 2ml/ L water each big bud, next day 5ml/l water molasses each,next day straight water,1liter
I do this in the A:M, I give each plant approx. 1 liter each staight water after supper
I feed the N.L#1 about half that amount😵
Thanks for watching👍
Grow Big👌
Hey everybody,
Little update, it's the true start to week #8 ,
Lambs Breath are really staring to bulk up YUMMY😛 both of them slowed down in the water intake considerably.
The Northern Lights started to grow like crazy, drinking twice as much as the L.B.
I really took it to the N.L. some LST. and lots of defoliation, opened her up for lots of light to the bud sites🙏🙏😶
Anyways, have a great week and GRow Big!!! (added a couple of pics)
Had a pretty good week, the Lambs Breath are packing on the weight😋 not feeding them anymore just water ,tiny amounts of molasses
The Northern Lights seems to be way behind, drinking like crazy, feeding a little bit big bud and a little bit of molasses, seems to be happy😎
just want to say thanks to everybody for the info and advice👍 I learned alot😵, in a short period of time.
thanks again and Grow Big!!
Hello everybody
just about to start week #10, day 62😛
started to flush the L.B with straight water as I noticed the trichomes are getting milky with the odd amber ones here and there. 2L water per day
The Northern Lights is a couple of weeks behind but is packing on the weight.feeding little bit 2ml/liter sensi-cal mag,2ml/liter big bud,1ml/liter overdrive😎
the buds are getting bigger every time I look in the tent👌
I picked a usb microscope, really hard to focus😵 specially after 2-3 cups of coffee😝will post more when I get the hang of it👍
Thanks everybody and Grow Big💪
It was a great plant to grow , seemed to be strong and resilient to the topping and L.S.T
Buds got real big and super sticky and smelly towards the end. Can't wait to try😛 will grow Lambs Breath again👍
Will post some more once I've tried it
My northern Lights auto is still going strong, might need 2-3 more weeks
Just want to say thanks to everybody for all the comments and advice🙏🙏 I was like a sponge trying to soak up everything I could, Thanks Again
My first grow, had a few bumps in the beginning but overall things went excellent👍 couldn't be happier
Big shout out to GROWDIARIES for having this platform to learn and grow( GROW😎)
I will update the taste and effect once I dry and cure( i kept a little bit from each plant, trimmed and put in a paper bag to sneak a little taste😛 in a day or two
Later, Grow Big💪
Hey just a little update,put a little bit aside to try and I'll have to say I'm impressed.
Still tastes a little like the field, but you can feel it behind your eyes almost instantly
and if I had to compare to something it would be like having a couple of shots of tekillya(lol)
you can feel it wash over your entire body😍
I can't complain about anything, happier than a pig in s___!!👍
Thanks again
Today is day 75 for the Northern Lights#1
It is really starting to to get sticky and smelly(piney and citrus in the back)
Started flushing yesterday 2L water per day
Moved it into a smaller tent with the viparspectra V600,as the big tent is otherwise occupied
with the california lightworks 500 extreme😛 pics coming soon
Thanks everbody for checking out my first grow, it's been quite the experience👍
this strain was o.k. to grow, it did not like the L.S.T and defoliation to much, it took awhile to recover
it turned out really well, considering the issues I had in the beginning
dense sticky buds, with a piney sweet smell, will grow again.
harvested day 81 from sprout😃
Overall this strain was fun to watch as it grew,seemed to be a little dainty, needed time to recover after LST , Defoliation and topping
Good strain to just let grow, maybe light LST
Buds were really resinous(had to clean scissors a couple of times) hung approx. 12 ounces in the box to dry but quite a bit of stalk was left on.
Will update when buds are in the jar, 4 days or so
thanks to everyone for all the info and comments🙏 it was a very big help👊
They are looking good for your first go at it!! The hardest thing for all growers is.........patience😣👍
Gaia Green recommends last top dress at roughly 4 weeks before harvest. Looking back it appears you gave more at Week 7. Since it takes a week or two for those nutes to become available to the plant, your girl may not flush out the way you want. Autos are tough and I sure as heck don't have them figured out either! I followed a comment by a grower with more experience than myself and stopped top dressing the medium roughly 5 weeks before harvest. Some will say that is too soon because you sacrifice yield.......others will say they don't care about the extra grams they want a super clean smoke.......no one right answer but rather personal preference. 3 to 4 weeks at minimum make sense to myself.
Seeing that you are Jets fine.......check out Mr Canucks Grow on YouTube.......he has the Gaia Green line dialed in using coco!!!😀
Patience is the parting comment.......from experience.......sometime less is more👊
@PrairieFrostGrow,Hey thanks for the comments.
I'll check it out.👍
I like to keep my head up and stick on the ice, lol, hurts to much with your head down👊
Grow Big💪
@northernMike,IMHO Matt is the best on Youtube........freaking cracks me up every time!! His humor and his early videos with big dabs were great.....I relate to his video gaming accents and sports....hockey! I ran Gaia Green this summer because of him as well😀👍 Tea's are the next level moving forward with organics and that was all new this summer......hey, I followed some of Matt's instructions for that as well!
What works well for me, in my limited experience, is to take a grow back to old school planning......I pull out a calendar, or print off several blank months from the computer, and work it out on the paper with a pen. What day did they pop......breeders comments for weeks (IMHO add 1 week....2 depending on flushing preference) until harvest. Then you can work back your rough time for flush and this also tells you the last time to top dress........Gaia Green says 4 weeks/Matt works with 3 weeks I believe......whatever your numbers you decide. This gives you the basic outline for your grow and allows you to plan a bit more with Organics. Very simple and very vague but you have to let the plant lead the journey anyway😀 You may go longer or shorter depending how veg is going and how that pheno actually is growing for example. I can be a bit anal myself and actually keep laminated sheets I can write on pined up in the grow room for each run......sometimes you are in a hurry and just need a quick reference to that last amount or date or just need to write down ppm quickly and come back later😀 use them all the time👊
Until next time fellow grower......Keep your head down and your stick on the ice!!!!
Nice Upgrade of your Lights here, well done. after looking in your Diary, I got to say its a well prepared and well done grow. Iam Impressed for a " first Grow" its looks awsome.
keep on growing. Chosen the best hobby in the world. and one thing is fact too, its absolutely addictive to grow
@Mrs_Larimar,Hey good morning
Thank you very much for checking out my diary,your opinion means alot👍
You are 100% correct to say it's addictive😵 every time I walk by the tent
I have to open it up to have a look and a smell, lol
Have yourself a great day and Grow Big💪 Thanks again
I've went over your grow and I feel like you were Calcium deficient since week 3 or 4. *Calcium is huge to fight heat stress, helps nutrient uptake and important role in Photosynthesis.
In my opinion, your grow will work out fine!, but, you have affected your maximum yield.
LST and Defoliation paired with calcium deficiency is huge stress on your babies! Defoliation of leaves with Cal deficiency will lead to smaller buds and more leaves. Plus hot temps, both air and soil, will disrupt root growth adding to your nutrients not being able to fully uptake with lack of Cal.
Calcium is #1 and should be Continuously added from week 2 or so up to flush! Some notes can be mixed with water and sprayed directly on to trees in emergency cases.
Practice makes perfect, I harvested to early my first grow with Cal Deficiency too!!!!
Your temps look good for flowering, drop your Humidity to 30 Humidity to prevent rot during flowering. Nice to see CO2 and fan going. Nice lights!!
Happy grows and knowledge is power! I'm harvesting tonight I think. Check my lambs breath posts in a day or 2. :)
Peace
@Alberta780,Hey thanks for replying
I see that advanced nutrients makes somethng similar,so I will pick some up for the next grow.👍
that C02 can did not last very long,empty already, will figure something longer lasting,(exhale)
Opened all the bottom vents in the tent turned up the exhaust fan 30-35RH%👌
also picked up a microscope camera to check trichomes, $28 on amazon,we will see, will post pics when it arrives (1 week)
thanks again and Grow Big!!
Looking good, looking healthy. So do you have a harvest date in mind already? I’m still only 4 grows old here but it looks like those girls still could really get fat with a little more time. Unless you like what you see with the magnifier, let them grow! Autos seem to plump up real quick especially 70-80 days in.
@bmvape,It's exciting alright, they are starting to change colour fairly quick
Patience is holding up😶 just watching those buds get bigger and BIGGER💪crazy!!
can't wait to enjoy😛
Grow Big
@northernMike, it’s an exciting time getting close to the finish line. The first grow was the hardest to be patient with, but it’s a lot more fun to grow while you can enjoy your own stash!
@bmvape,thanks for getting back to me.
think I will will do the same, stop watering on thurs.
let them dry out fri-sat. harvest sun.😁😬
little bit nervous but I think I'm ready.
will post more pics before the chop😎
Grow Big!!
Look good Mike. All I can say is let'em grow and learn. I wouldn't try too much with autos until you see how fast things happen. I try not to stress'em too much. peace
@northernMike, That urge to have to intervene will go down the more confidence you build in your setup and the more consistent results you get. At least it did with me. Some times it's good to just slow your role as the grower and just let the plant do it's growing lol.. I remember early on seeing things and being like omg what is that. I have to fix that, panic, fix things and create other problems lol..
@Smowkabowl,Thanks for the reply and advice.👍
feels like I should be doing something all the time😕
I looked through a little microscope(60x), all I can say is wow😲
Pretty excited, can hardly wait.
Thanks again, Grow Big👊
@Mrs_Larimar,Thanks Much👊
So far so good, keeping my fingers out of the cookie jar.LOL😜
Just waiting on the next grow, seems to be growing O.K. week 8, crazy how fast they grow.
Have a good one,Later, Grow Big!!
Congrats on a nice grow! Glad you stayed patient, I had my harvest day too! I will be posting after she’s dry. It’s the frostiest grow I’ve had so far and looks like yours are the same way. Will be real nice after a couple weeks of curing. Good luck on the next one!
@bmvape,Thanks Much🙏
Will be keeping a eye out for your pics.
My Northern Lights is starting to really smell, kind of piney and sweet at the same time😛
Luck with the cure
Later👊
@ButtersStotch,Thanks for taking a look
Harvested the two L.B. Last night, the whole house smells.... pretty good😛
Will post pics shortly
Later
Grow Big💪
@@JP148,Hey thanks
I sure hope so😏
3-4 more days before harvest I'm thinking, can't wait😵
will post more pics before the chop👍
thanks again and Grow Big!!
@northernMike, I used a product called Gnatnix? in previous grows. Its basically an aquarium sized gravel made from glass. It's a pita to remove when it's time to top dress with the Gaia products. I purchased a little shop vac fom Home dep. that I only use in the garden, vac it out and wash it before replacing. Helps keep the adults away from the growing media and slows down their egg production. The diatomaceus earth also works well when dry. Not so sure once it gets wet. I also cover my pots drainage holes with black landscape fabric (weed barrier) from the inside before filling the pot. Also consider using mosquito dunks (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (B.t.i.)) soaked in your water. Those little buggers attack the larvae.
@DeaneR,the sand and the diatamaceus earth(hard to say never mind spell😶)
seemed to do the job fairly quickly,along with yellow sticky tabs.
sand dries up the top layer, a little harder to water
Grow Big👊
Nice job! Enjoy the fruits of your labor and stay medicated. When I grow a new strain I try not to stress it out with LST or defoliation. Some autos are very sensitive so I like to see what they do naturally. Peace
@Smowkabowl,Thanks, the Lambs Breath is very intense, I highly recommend😎
The northern lights just went into jars, will update soon but the finger hash was impressive😛
I like to experiment a little as I have very little experience so I don't have much to compare to yet, working on that😏
Thanks again and Grow Big!!
@@JP148,thanks alot🙏
It sure put on the sugar lately.
today was the last day of flush, dosed it with a wholle gallon (4liters) of water this morning.
time to let her dry, then dark, then chop-chop😛
Later, Grow Big!!
@@JP148,Thanks J.P
Hung them up in cardboard box, they probably lost half their weight already.
trying to keep R.H. around 40-50%, so far so good👍
Later
Grow Big
