Glazed Grow #3 Self-Isolation SourDiesel

Big thanks to @Fast_Buds! Sent me some testers form the new Original Autos line and starting with 3 Sour Diesel with ChemDawg on deck. Might have left the seeds in the paper a bit too long, one had small leaves that were yellowing before I got them into the pots. Hopefully they all look good in the morning after the initial drop. UPDATE: OFFICIALLY DAY 1 All three seedlings, including the one I thought had been left in the paper too long, are good. Call 'em Liam Neeson's cause they have TAKEN. Removed the domes so I don't cook them like I did last time. Have lowered the light to avoid stretch/repotting which could have stunted my girls last time too. Will let the pots dry a bit and follow closely with Water/Molasses mix to start them until they need to be repotted into their final 5gal homes. - SET UP/SUPPLYS: 900W Veg/Flower Switch LED from PHLIZON 45W All-Spec No Name LED Panel for Side Lighting 2.3x4.3x7 Tent VIVOSUN 4in. 195 CFM Exhaust Tent ducted to window.

WEEK 2 - 03/23/2020 Self-Isolation Sour Diesel is coming along! My area is closing non-essential businesses tomorrow so I might have to pop on the ol' P100 filter respirator and go get a bag or two of soil so I can keep growing as long as society doesn't collapse during the foreseeable future. I only have a little dollar store bag of soil to start the seeds in the small pot, if I chicken out I might have to order some soil from Amazon 😷 The cheap soil brought in a little buddy plant in one of the pots so I might keep it going to see what it is. Other than that I got all 3 under the lights flipping them off when I go to bed/wake up so they get 6-8 hours of darkness depending. Just basic water and spray feeding but will start a Molasses/Water mix feed this week. UPDATE: Day 9 - 03/25/20 THE GANG IS WEED. I have named the 3 plants after the first round of Isolation shows I've been watching. Meet Frank, Charlie, and Mac from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Obviously Charlie got a green tag for Green Man and the little stunted small plant is Frank. This marks the second of my plants named after Danny DeVito going back to my first Chocolate Mint OG grow 😂 Gave first full pot water since before the seeds went in. Had just been spraying the soil down for the first week. Did a pour feed of Molasses/Water. Hopefully they're a node or three higher by the end of the week so I know they're on track. Will transfer to larger fabric pots end of week 2 into the new Destiny Dark Matter soil. Will update through the week 👍 -- STAY SAFE. STAY HOME. 🙌 -- Thanks for checking in!

WEEK 3 - 04/01/20 Self-Isolation Original Auto Sour Diesel going well! No stunting or delayed growth like my last grow. MAC is living up to the name and really "cultivating mass" as the biggest plant. CHARLIE is right behind him and has a little plant buddy that grew out of a seed in the cheap dollarstore starting soil. I've nicknamed the little sidekick BARNEY. I don't know what kind of plant it is so let me know if you know! FRANK is living up to the name as well as a stunted little Danny DeVito looking runt it's finally starting to catch up. Will be transplanting into the Destiny Black Matter Super Soil in 5gal fabric pots tomorrow for their final home. -- UPDATE: Day 17 - 04/02/2020 - TRANSPLANT DAY Destiny Black Matter Super Soil with ProMix HP mixed in for drainage/stretching supplies. Used large SpiderMan Far From Home commemorative cup for scooping at a ratio of 5/1 well mixed. Also repotted the little tag along plant into its own little Mr. Kitty planter and have it hanging with the boys at the South Park Bus Stop. Yes, Mr. Kitty. That's a good Mr. Kitty! Maybe R.I.P Charlie :( Bad Transfer with approx. 80% root loss due to the non-delicious kind of butterfingers. Frank was semi-smooth and should be fine with little transplant shock. Mac was smoother than a solo mission to The Rainbow on St. Patricks Day. Again Not Taking Questions. Have another starter pot set up for another auto seed if Charlie doesn't bounce back. Maybe a ChemDawg named Rickety Cricket? Already droop city but hopefully after a few days it can beat the shock or it could go right into flower. Playing them some tunes in the form of Vulfpeck: Live at Madison Square Gardens for some vibrational love. -- UPDATE: Day 19 - 04/04/20 - Post-Transplant Update CHARLIE LIVES! Drooped hard for a solid hour but was back up crazy sooner than I thought considering I thought I could lose the plant. That said I still started a Chew-Dawg OG Auto seed cause why not 🙌 rickety cricks rickety cricks I'm sure the final yield and plant will suffer since it's regrowing all the roots but no yellowing or drooping since an hour after transplant. Maybe shocked into flower as a small plant but will find out next week. If so I'll probably transplant back to a small pot saving the new soil in the 5gal for the ChemDawg. FRANK is good as well. Droop for half hour and right back to doing the move *go for it, go for it. ohhhhhhh go for it go for it.* Still weird structure to the plant but up to 5 finger leaves like the other plants and will be a LST experiment. MAC is killing it and passing the daily ocular pat-downs. I've started light LST already spreading the leaves. Even a weak smell to it already. Hoping it turns into a "Fat Mac" situation 😎 Gave them all a molasses/water feed today around the root zones, not full pot yet. Wetting down the starting pot for the chem-dawg seed so a new diary will be starting up soon. -- Thanks for checking out the diary!

WEEK 4 UPDATE - 04/08/20 MAC never had a problem after transplant. That's why we work well together, he sees free food and makes the split decision to eat it. Starting basic LST on MAC to get his karate bow in fine form and get some light to the lower sites starting to develop. CHARLIE is still still stalled out at basically the same size as when roots were damaged during transplant. The new growth is slowly maturing though so hopefully the veg is delayed while it catches up instead of flipping right to flower. FRANK seems to be a different pheno and/or mutant structure with 3 Leaves per node. It too didn't have the smoothest transplant but I'd say it's somewhere between MAC and CHARLIE. Not quite big enough yet to start LST but didn't stall out as bad as CHARLIE. They truely are the "Gruesome Twosome" I started RICKETY CRICKET over in my new diary if you want to follow along: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/56713-fastbuds-original-auto-chemdawg-grow-journal-by-glazedgrow Will update with more pictures of The Gang and some solo shots for FRANK and CHARLIE asap! -- STAY HOME STAY SAFE 😷 -- Thanks for checking it out!

WEEK 5 - FLOWER STRETCH STARTING - Day 31 - 04/16/20 MAC doing his thing and packing on mass. Going to start feeding Advanced Nutrient 3-in-1 Micro, Grow, Bloom nutes today. Maximize any stretch and lower branch growth since it will be the best plant out of the 3. Solid 6/7 inches when not bent down for LST. FRANK seemed to have the same week long set back as CHARLIE in terms of transplant shock due to beginner error. Both FRANK and CHARLIE will severely underperform as the gruesome twosome but life mimics art, right? I have my OG Auto Chem-Dawg from @Fast_Buds named RICKETY CRICKET in my other diary right now: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/56713-fastbuds-original-auto-chemdawg-grow-journal-by-glazedgrow I adjusted the LST today and will start them all on the Advanced Nutes. Will do what I can with them for the last couple months to maximize bud if possible. Good thing is I should be able to recycle/remix most of the soil in the pots if they stay small for reuse on the next grow to maximize supply and minimize outside exposure during isolation blah blah. Fed all three with a Molasses/PH Perfect/Water mix. Mixed all into a gallon jug and poured equally between the 3 with a little splash for my Week 1 OG Auto ChemDawg in the diary linked above. Time to bulk up for the next 2-3 weeks of stretch. Will update through week! -- Thanks for checking it out! Drop a like and/or follow so i can return the favour 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow

WEEK 6 - Day 39 - 04/24/20 The stretch and girth on MAC is very nice and the size of Charlie and Frank are surprising due to the transplant problems. Week 5 went well slowly re-setting LST ties, spreading, small defol, more hands off with Charlie and Frank to let them catch up and it seemed to work. Unfortunately I have found leaf damage and a couple Flea Beatles in the tent.😡 I'm in an apartment so it must have came from the Destiny Dark Matter soil.😒 This is also the first grow I've done without Diatomaceous Earth as a topper so I might have to order some so i can deal with them organically leading into flower formation. I did just top the soil with small sprays of Safer's End-All but I don't want to use it again an I kept it off the plant. Just soil and around the bases. END OF WEEK 6 - Day 44 - 05/03/20 (Pictures taken 04/29/20) Another feeding of Advanced Nutes PH Perfect M-G-B + Molasses between all plants then finished each with plain water. CHARLIE and FRANK are BIGGER THAN MAC. The same thing happened in my last grow where my Cali Snow Auto Seedling cooked and was delayed by a few weeks and ended up the biggest plant. Don't kill me with comments but I'm starting to notice that major stress in VEG allows for Auto Flowers to get WAY bigger plants/yields if you're not doing quick SOG grows and maximizing a small amount of plants instead. MAC is clearly further along by a couple weeks in flower development but FRANK and CHARLIE got bigger veg bases and secondary site growth due to the transplant stress delay. If everything goes well this should be the biggest yield/harvest in my short growing career but I'm sure I'll be saying that a lot as I get more practice 😝 Will update with Week 7 next couple days! Flower sites are getting nice enough to break out the real camera soon ✊ -- Thanks for checking in! Drop a like and/or follow so I can return the favour 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow

WEEK 7 - Day 49 - May the Fourth be with us. Super excited to see the bud sites start to swell on MAC. FRANK and CHARLIE are a week or so behind in development but with a way better veg base. Adjusted all LST and bent down main colas/spread lower bud sites. Very light defoliation on anything blocking airflow near the centre of the plant or light blockers that couldn't be bent away. CHARLIE was definitely the WILDCARD of this Gang Solves The Gas Crisis Grow. Tore off half the root cluster by accident during transplant in Week 2/3 and is now the biggest plant with the most bud sites. Topped soil with Diatomaceous Earth again to keep any flea beetles or bugs away the organic way as we enter home stretch. Will update through the week! -- Thanks for checking it out!

WEEK 8 - Day 57 - 05/12/2020 The "STAY HOME" Stretch! MAC is a couple of weeks ahead in flower since it had no delay after transplant. Leaves started fading already since we're officially in "Fat Mac" phase and it's HUNGRY. Extra nutes in the feed today, will start the flush in a couple weeks. CHARLIE still Wild Card. LOTS of bud sites with the extra Veg time and all the LST. If they fatten up it could be the best of the gang. FRANK got that round wide base. Bud maturity is right between Mac and Charlie. Maybe 1/2 weeks behind Mac. All got a huge feeding today and a water rinse. Will re-top with Diatomaceous Earth one it dries out a little bit to keep any unwanted visitors or the Flea Beetles coming back/harming the final month. Lots of pictures because of extra self-isolation time 😅 Also finally got a Vape! This will be the first grow I'll be able to full profile the taste of my work! -- Stay Safe! 😷 Thanks for checking in and throw down a like/follow so I can return the favour 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow

WEEK 9 - Day 63 - 05/18/20 MAC IS HUNGRY. The Fade has started super early as the buds fatten up by the day. Gave another feeding yesterday upping the Bloom Nutes for the last week before I flush and let the fade take it's course. FRANK is about a week behind MAC in flower timing so the fade is starting to come on Frank too. Fed the same nute ratios as Mac and it has more main bud sites so I'll have to keep up with Frank more. CHARLIE is 2 weeks behind MAC with the most bud sites so if they fatten up like Mac and Frank I'll have to keep whipping up Grilled Charlies/foraging alley almonds/making energy balls 'cause Charlie will be HUNGRY. 😃 Letting the fan leaves fade until it starts dying before I clip so the plants can get as much food as possible before attracting bugs. Going to top again with Diatomaceous Earth to make sure final weeks go smooth, the silica getting watered down might strengthen the bud holding stems a bit in theory 💪 Next week the good camera comes out for the money shots, some pistils on Mac should be turning by the end of this week 😎 Will update!

UPDATED: Pictures of Charlie from Week 10 (6/22/2020) WEEK 10 - MAC - Day 72 - 05/27/20 (Day Pictures Taken) HAIRS ARE ORANGE. MAC IS ALMOST READY (Starting flush tomorrow) Every plant is fading it's main fan leaves already even Charlie who is 2 weeks behind both Frank and Mac. ALL PICTURES ARE MAC + FRANK Frank has the biggest bud i've ever grown and Charlie is already the same size with NO changing pistils yet. Should be a monster. -- Thanks for checking it out!

WEEK 11 - 05/27 to 6/02/2020 ADDED PICTURES OF CHARLIE FROM EARLY WEEK 11! Spent the week with open tent and half light as they finished drying from their flushes. New Logo by: @9teen90 on Instagram and @its90bih on Twitter. Took over 2000 photos to sort/edit for weeks 12/13! -- Thanks for stopping by! This is a quick make up post. -- New post incoming! Stay safe! -- IG: @GlazedGrow

WEEK 12 - 06/07 to 06/14/20 - PICTURES UPDATED 06/22/2020 I take way too many pictures when I bring out the good camera... This is only Frank + fun with my new logo courtesy of @9teen90 on Instagram! (Twitter: @its90bih) Check her out! 🙌😍 Lots of fun with lighting, flash, multi-light set ups. Nice to combine hobbies but always getting overwhelmed by how many I take 😓😂 All plants are well ready and have been stripped of their fading fan leaves before being put in the dark for 48 hours starting yesterday (June 16th 2020) Easily the biggest, fattest, nicest buds I have grown so far. I literally cannot wait until they are cured and get that REAL gassy hit. You can already make it out in the fresh smell profile but you KNOW it's going to be a bitter gas fire when it gets some time to break down that chlorophyll MORE LIKE BORE-O-PHYLL! ...no? okay moving on. MAC has FULL red hairs and fully ripe with over 50% amber trichs, Frank is about a week behind with 90% pistil turn and a great silver/milky coat of trichs and small amount of amber, and Charlie is the youngest and could probably use another week or two but I want to pull them all together. Will use Charlie for the energetic early end of the spectrum. I also let Mac go an extra week or so in order to get a nice stoney bit of plant too. Should get a nice full spectrum of the effects due to the stress throwing the timing off between plants by a few weeks. MAC PICTURES + MORE FRANK PICTURES ADDED - CHARLIE PICTURES ADDED 6/22/2020 HARVEST LATER TODAY OR TOMORROW! (June 18th or 19th for a total of 94-95 day Auto Grow) -- Thanks for checking in!

VIDEOS ADDED FOR @Fast_Buds #BestStrainPresentation Contest! HARVEST - DAY 96 - 06/20/2020 - NEW PHOTOS ADDED (06/27/2020) - CURING AS OF 06/23/2020 DRY/CURE UPDATE 06/23/2020: DRY WEIGHT: 64 GRAMS - 44g Buds - 16g Trim/Larf - Best Results Yet! 🙏 Best Quality flower I have been able to grow in my short hobby career. Best looking, density, quality of flower due in heavy part to @Fast_Buds genetics and my slowly improving grow skills. Cannot wait to get a full test once they dry and cure for 2-4 weeks. I'm going away in a couple weeks so I will take my half-cured tester up and test it by the lake 😎😇 Mac, Frank, and Charlie all down on 06/20/2020 after a week of half light and 48 hours of pure dark. Mac is fully ripe to get that stoney effect. Frank should be right in the sweet spot for highest THC. Charlie is a week or so early for that early energetic pure Sativa end of the spectrum. Mac was a fresh wet trim for the photoshoot. Frank just got trimmed and chopped up today so I will take dry pics before they go in the cure jars. Charlie is still hanging with the sugars. Will trim him today or tomorrow. All have a couple days left hang drying in the tent minimum. Will update with pictures as I go! UPDATE: 06/27/2020 Curing and breathing 2x a day since the 23rd. Made hash for the first time! About a gram from the trim and a crappy magic bullet blender has set up 😅 Going to turn it into Cannabutter for @9teen90 for the help on the logo creation!
