It’s been an interesting grow literally no nutrients until this week. Seeing colas forming by the day. Heard negative things on this strain. Plants look very bushy and indicate dominant, 1 is different pheno for sure. Hoping for a high quality autu
Pretty much anything from fastbuds will grow into a frosty monster with the right care. The gorilla glue, and GSC are both high thc level. If you are looking for crazy terps and flavor then the Humboldt uk cheese auto is the best I have had so far.
So came from a lil visit to lake house and bam, had huge growth maybe 6 inches on one plant! in a 4 day pierod. Had some ph problems with soil being to acidic. Had to buy a new ph meter. Fixed problem mid week. Did a lil adjustment/flush. Seemed to work very well. Leafs started perkin up overnight. Leafs look healthier.Going to start fluctuating water being fed in a 6-7 ph to avoid any lockout or build up by roots. I swear if buds don’t show overnight I’ll be surprised. plants are starting to show their colors, light purple appearing on all colas. Just did a feeding today aswell
That's a 2 part answer based on your school of thought and I'll give you both.
#1: Your best flowering nute for a soil medium will be any broad spectrum base nute for the flowering cycle. My meaning here is a balanced, flowering specific N-P-K ratio. The Maxibloom series mentioned below is a good choice for sure @ 5-15-14. There's also Botanicare's various lines - the pure blend pro bloom has a 2-3-5 ratio that is somewhat similar. Essentially - any "all purpose" nutrient blend that is lighter on nitrogen and higher on phosphorous and potassium.
#2: Forget nutrient brands altogether because if you pay attention to the NPK ratios in each, then brand no longer matters. For the flowering phase of a cannabis grow cycle I would make differing recommendations based on NPK ratios for early, mid and late flower. Start first by transitioning from a base flower nute with a higher nitro mix (think like a 5-15-14 or a 2-3-5) in the early weeks post-stretch to a lower nitro mix (think like a 1-4-6) for mid flower. While the plant will need less and less nitrogen as it gets closer to chop, it still needs some so don't deprive it completely - similar to calmag supplementation. For the late stages I personally don't entirely cut out out the nitro but I have seen some who not only get rid of it altogether but also heavily cut back on the phosphorous and go with something like terpinator (0-0-4) for the final stages.
The simple answer for just about any medium is to find a balanced, flowering specific nutrient. As long as the NPK range leans more towards the P&K, you could buy basic tomato nutrients at any home or gardening store and it'll perform just as well as the higher priced, cannabis specific stuff. Good luck and hope it helps👍
So week ten on the dot, let’s start saying plants are huge( one would be almost 3 feet if I didn’t LST). pistils have been showing for a week or more, stretching stalks. Incredibly slow I think I must to have stunted the plant in early growth from a transplant. But my have they all rebounded. Dealing with salt build up by roots fucking my ph up making hot spots. But I just order fox farm sledgehammer. Eliminates nutrient build up. See how she blows. Also didn’t know I had my digital timer fucked up but ended up having these plants on 24 hr light for last 2 months. I ended up reducing to 18 hr. Try to push them. 💨💨💨💨
So idk why the fuck these plants are still growing taller, I’ve adjusted ph perfectly, did a minor flush that seemed to work and then use a new nutrient I bought (flower booster) it’s a powder with a 1-24-22 npk ratio. I dissolved and filtered on Friday night fed them, and now on Monday they grew another 4 inches. Definitely resin glands growing as my hands are getting sticky after handling. These dna genetics elfuego autos are on the larger side from autos I’ve experienced and are slow af too. I definitely am a few weeks behind but the sheer size of them, you’d probably not believe me, looks like a photo. So does my size make up for that flowering? Idk. But they are taking forever. I only have them in 3 gallon pots. They are longer but I just hope my roots are healthy.
Any incite or comments is appreciated. I have very little and in accurate information about this strain online. Thanks. Happy 420 guys!!4/20/2020! Burn one
So there’s a problem with this diary these plants are on day 71 today exact. not week12 I fucked up lol...anyways I ended up changing light schedule to 12/12. seemed was stuck in pre flower. They since have showed signs of buds, one on left smells very Berry sour smelling when I defoliate. Idk I hope this week i will see good signs after a heavy feeding today of cal mag, bud booster general hydro, and flower booster powder.
My autoflowes (Supposedly)is 10 weeks grown perfectly. Had to switch to 12/12 to force flower. I’m thinking these 3/3 plants are photos. Could it be genetics? What’s your take?
It can be a package mistake , like they gave you the feminised photos instead of the photos.
Reason 2 : The cross is not stable enough and is leaning on the photoperiodic side as the ruderalis are crossed with classic photopériodics strain to increase the thc level
Day 85: Finally getting peeks of buds, plants are very close to the light they can handle it almost on top of it, I want to purchase another light for flowering! Excited to see what next week brings!
So major growth results happening now on Lil over 3 weeks of flower. definitely are photoperiod el fuego. all have great hues of a beautiful purple arriving on all 3 plants. Very awesome smells coming. Plants can eat very heavy. I hope my 3 gal grow bags can handle the remaining weeks of flower. I did pack loosely with fluffy fox farm soil. So roots have more surface area to grow. As well bags are longer vertically than the width Which I believe helps roots growth in long run:)
Day 99 Memorial Day update I felt it all coming And now it’s here! purple and grape gas everywhere. These are very dense buds forming. Introduced 1000 ppm of c02 to grow. Everything swelled overnight. Feeding with every watering I do. No plain water at this point of flower. They can handle it. So close to light. They can handle it. Still worried about decreased yields due to my smaller pots but I’m thinking 60 day flowering with these. Not concerned with yellowing. If come to find these 100% are photo period el fuego. Everything matches just what I had to do to get it to flower. So happy with what I’m seeing.
I wouldn't worry about it that far into flower. The only problem I had from a longer outage was the humidity that built up in the sealed tent: 80% peak during about week 5 (2 weeks into flower) but it didn't hurt the plant. I learned for next time it happens (and it will: I get a few outages a year from severe weather) I'll open the tent so the plant can breathe but I think you're fine.
Maybe consider using something bud safe to prevent mold, but that would be the only fear and you can prevent that.
Day 106, One of main colas on my middle shorter plant can see a banana coming out, light leeks from my stupid roommates leaving lights on in room where laundry is. was afraid of this hopefully it’s just on that stalk, maybe get some good seeds? Shouldn’t be hermied as I just see in one spot and no stress maybe light is very strong on the center focal point of my light? I do have it very close. Other than that the girls Are so colorful with blues and purps, sweet smell and are getting very dense.
Day 51 of flower, Last feeding last Thursday, water and sledgehammer from now on for flushing dosage, thinking 1 week of flushing should suffice. Did a recharge feed today too(last one). Crystals are packing on and wow these buds are very dense. Such a desirable smell and shades. I’m saying cut it down within the next week. Exciting times in the tent:)
Due to problems with autoflower genetics and refusing to flower. I am pleased with final result. I knew my yield would take a hit by using 3 gallon pots. Just was not planning for these plants to take damn 100 days. Roots were coming thru bottom of bags. Not good. But happy results and beautiful purple nugs. See what the cure does.
Edit/ update: with few days of curing smell and taste have dramatically improved. There is basically no woody taste or smell, just grapey and sour with a hint of spicy. I change my strain score to 9/10. Due to not being able to update after 1 hr of original post. The only reason I give a 9 is because of Flowering problem.
Update: week of curing smooth as butter and fruity and flowery flavor mellow draw with a little kick no harshness at all. Pleseant take.
