Looking good. Just a heads up on week 5 or 6 she wil explode in growth like triple the size. I didn’t expect it in the sized pot i put her in and she is still growing in week 7. A good surprise :) . She might grow huge in a 8L pot.

@Chilipadi, never grew this strain before. I don't normally do much training. I try to pick quickest growing autos and I just let them rip in my small tent. Considering last 5 grows even with my lite setup i normally pull just over 1g/w

@@@Lit_1, I normally "flush" for 10-14 days. I feed very little in general. Normally my plants go on nothing by water for first 30 days, then I'll feed it vegetative food 2-3 times until she flower. For first 2 weeks flowering she's feed every 5-7 days bloom solution. During week 3-5 flowering i give her bloom solution once a week and advanced nutrients big bud once a week or so (big bud is applied 3-4 times in total) around the time my plant reaches age of 8-9 weeks i stop using bloom product and I apply overdrive every 5-7 days (3-4 applications in total). When my auto is 65-70days old I stop feeding and usually chop within next 10-14 days. My autos in average live 75-85days from sprout. Random fact I NEVER get any run off when watering, and I'm always aiming for exactly that.

@Elek007, Right on! How long do you do your flush for? I'm still pondering how much is enough. Do you scale back the nutrients a little before the flush as well or just go full flush mode when its time?

@Chilipadi,unless order of pictures is random for everyone, I always upload on Monday for past 7 days. First picture to the left is normally from past Monday, and last one or two pictures on the right are from Monday I'm posting update so most recent. She's around 55cm (21.6inch in freedom units ha) tall

She looks very ready very nice buds too 👌

Elek007commented4 years ago

@Chilipadi, nah, she still need few days. When she slowed down bulking up and started loosing leaves I've assumed she's getting ready, yet, she shed most of leaves (only after I assuming she sucked everything useful out of them) and I'm going through like 3rd phase of packing up on weight. I'm not getting leaves growing out of bud and I don't see any foxtailing (and if there is some on main kola, it's not what people consider "bad foxtailing") so let her rip some more. Also I'm estimating i have less than 1% Amber trichomes, so for my desired effect I'm going to let her mature some more.

@XeenRecoil, thanks bossman =) I'm currently starting another seed, it have been in dirt for almost 48h. I can see it through soil but it haven't peeked out just yet. With this one I'm quite excited, I only had one plant in my past which smelled like actual poop, and it was toxic (you remember my first auto, the one I've failed miserably with lst and it barely grew past 10inch height). Even though I got barely 40g out of that one in past, it was most fire bud I've ever grown.

XeenRecoilcommentedweek 75 years ago

She is looking super man, great job! You may want to consider leaning the terminal chute over and tie it down so that you can lower you grow light so that your lower colas can get more intense light.

@XeenRecoil, thanks for advice, I will try next time. My stem is currently thicker than crayon and have bark/wood looking stuff growing on it already, unfortunately it's too late to route it anywhere without breaking

Elek007commented5 years ago

@Chilipadi, hey, I've made lights myself. @XeenRecoil helped me years ago. It's made out of 6 samsung f series 3500k strips (Model number is SI-B8U261560WW) I'm using Mean Well USA Inc. / Lrs-150-24 power supply and I've made frame for it out of aluminium flat bars. It costed me around £100 back in 2018 and its 150(real)watts when I'm running them on 23v (but when it's middle of the summer here I run them at 21.5v, and when it's cold months I can allow myself to run them at 24v). Basically I run my lights anywhere between 140-160W
