Hope everyone had a great Xmas! Here in Ontario we have been under extreme cold weather. Temps outside have been -10 to -20c without windchill. This has made rH go very low inside my house. I think next winter it's time for a whole home humidifier.
I was to busy to post a Week 4 Veg Update. But here is week 5.
NL2 - Standing 21 inches currently. Showing a nice amount of bud sites and took to Topping and light LST well. This girl likes to drink atleast 1Litre per 24hrs of nute laced RO water. Really drinking it up fast. I think the dry air in my house also contributes to this. Can't wait for her to pack on some buds. Her stalk is quite thick and should be able to hold some good weight.
NL3 - This plant is so short and bushy. Around 12 inches tall but has many tops that are not really growing vertically. I did top this one but it has only grown maybe 3 inches more since. I don't see much signs of pistils yet. So hoping for 6-8 inches of stretch so she fills out.
BK1 - Around 18inch tall. Showing pistils. Not that many bud sites compared to the NLs. This plant has the most leaf problems. It has curling of a few fan leaves. And some deformed new leafs. But all in all it's worth seeing it to the end.
BK2 - Tallest plant @ 23inches. Beautiful leaves. The fans are huge and are as big as my entire hand. No sign of any nute burn. Leaf curl etc. Just great leaf posture and deep green. Showing pistils. Topped Dec 20. New tops have grown out 4 inches or so. Looks like 12 or so bud sites right now. Hoping to almost double that by late bloom. Smells a bit already.
BK3 - Standing 18inches. Almost perfectly healthy cosmetically. This was the girl that had to struggle through the seed casing. Now she has outgrown the deformed leaves. Is flowering and showing pistils. Nice even canopy. Not too many bud sites but still happy with this one.
I've begun too add some molasses to the feeding. Need to get a RO unit too. Been using almost 50L per week.
Happy New Year's fellow growers. Catch you guys in another week โ๏ธ
Thanks for the support and following my first indoor grow guys. I had a blast raising these ladies.
Thanks CKS and HSO for the seeds they did not disappoint.
@biggreens420, thanks bro I will post pics in harvest with a large Bic lighter or something common so everyone can see the size of the colas. Plus try and capture everything else :)
@JusGrowIt88,wow man nice change in here since last time i looked buds are looking nice and chunky u put some nice work in here looking forward to seeing the harvest๐ช
@@frags lol I hear you bro. I almost picked off a few lower buds to quick dry and smoke when I was dry.
Luckily it's very easy for me to score some good smoke from friends so I just went that route. Although it's not cheap so I am hoping after this harvest I won't be buying ganja like that anymore. $80 for an 1/8th every week gets a bit crazy.
Good luck with the Fastbud seeds brotha. I'm sure they will turn out great. Your BDT was great and yeah would have gotten even more swollen. That main cola was beastly.
Keep it up I'll be on the lookout for your next diarie!
@JusGrowIt88, yeah here we cant really find original something, dealers are spraying chemicals and its really worst! my main purpose was also never buy weed from outside anymore. But unfortunatelly all is finished before second grow ๐ Yeah BDT was good. Kush genetics always my favorite, spicy tones on taste geting my mind! Thanks for you kind words and wishes bro.
Happy Grows
@@@frags Howdy and thank you for the support brother. I am sure there is many ways I can improve but that's part of the fun. And for my first indoor grow I can't be anything but grateful and proud.
BK2 is just a freak. It's like BK1 and 3 are the runts. All 3 were planted within 2-3 days of each other. Topping happened around the same aswell.
Must be the strong genes. These were started in Promix Nov 28-30. So it's right around Day 60 now. I agree they look very close to done but I'm debating letting them go longer.
I was planning on using Overdrive nutrient for 2 weeks and then Flawless Finish for 1 week. But that's 3 more weeks ๐. Not sure if that is a better move or to harvest earlier.
I don't want that many amber trichomes and so far there is very little. Maybe 1-5%.
Also the lower buds and some mid buds aren't nearly as dense as the top colas and second top buds. So was hoping the next 2-3 weeks would help.
Will have to decide this week and just hope it was the best move for her.
Thanks again either way it most definitely will be a happy harvest ๐
Peace Love and Good Vibes !!!
Thx SM, I think so too. NL2 is the tallest gal @ 38-40inches. NL3 is a little bush at around 23 inches.
Got two different phenotypes. NL3 has smaller colas but tighter internodal spacing. More indica characteristics. Very dense buds and not much leaf. NL2 has big light colas that are a bit squishy. Also has a fair bit of leaf in the top colas. I think due to the light intensity at only 16-18 inches from the LEDs.
I will most definitely post my thoughts about Bud Candy vs Terpinator. Also wish I could get my hands on some Mammoth P in Canada. Haven't seen any yet in local shops.
Thanks again for the kind words and Happy Growing!
Thanks, I decided to begin using Overdrive @ 1ml per L with straight RO @ 6.2PH. Promix is mostly peat moss so that should bring the PH to around 5.8-6 where I want it in the medium.
Plan is to run this for 2 full weeks. Then flush with Flawless Finish for a full week.
BK2 may only get 1 week of Overdrive and 1 week of FF.
The other 4 plants will likely get the full 3 week plan if not an extra week of flush then 2 days of darkness and dry pot time.
The NLs will need the time to fatten up and layer on the frost.
BK1&3 just need to swell and harden up the bud sites. They are so much smaller and less dense then BK2. But they have shitloads of resin and trichomes on what is there.
Wow bro and in 3l pots that is unreal man. I will definitely be following any future diaries and returning to see your final results. Very impressive ๐๐
@Perth, thanks brotha. At first I was thinking of going with 5/7 Gal pots that I have but now that the girls are almost done I am quite happy with the results I got with 3gals. Will run them again.
You doin great bro, ofc if you can wait few more weeks the results will be better. i were have no upcoming harvest and all my weed was finished. And i couldnt wait longer and decided to cut. if u ask am i do correct? Ofc not. My last diary BDT if u may check u will see fat buds but growth didnt stop. She were still need few more weeks. Anyway tomorrow i will have my package which includes many fastbuds seeds in it .) Happygrows
You definitely have some phenotype variance with the bubba kush auto :) 1and3 sound very similar. With more airy buds and a higher than average trichome production whereas #2 sounds more dense with slightly less trichome coverage.
This is natural when growing from seed you will get some phenotype differences :) and it is a good thing.
It will give you variety and will let you know what works best for you and your consumption style :)
Going of the pictures I would say they have roughly 3 more weeks to go but with the pheno variance you may find that some are done a little bit before others :)
Will check back in on the next update to see how the girls are finishing :)
Kind regards
