Welcome to my Big bud Auto Diary breeded by SeedStockers.
I used paper towels for Germination and it took 2 days for the seed to sprout from the medium.
I'm excited for this one and I think I will switch to Advance Nutrients for the nutes.
Peace ✌️🏾
Second week is on! 🙏🏾🥦
Big b is doing great, can't wait to see her upcoming changes. I water when dry, slightly rotate the pot each day, and spray the leaves here and there with water mixed with molasses for good measure.
Also I speak both French and English so, n'hésitez pas a poser des questions si vous en avez.
Prenez soin de vous ✌️🏾
A New week has ended, a new one is on! 😁
Just got a hold of my full advance nuitrients line, so from this week on we'll take things up a little.. 👇🏾
Added B-52 and Voodoo Juice to the feed for now, let's see how she handles these 😏
Also topped and did a minor LST, she's recovering and thriving!
💪🏾
All is well and I hope y'all staying safe in these crazy times.
Prenez soin de vous et de vos proches
Peace ✌️🏾
(At the end if each week I usually just water a few times 'ph 6.5 to prevent any salt build up) 🙃
Shawty fully recovered from last week's topping 😎
Week 5 coming in nicely, Time to boost her up !
Adding and removing some more nutes this week. Also added Co2, hung high in the tent and some fine charcoal to the pot from a nearby farm.
Got a hold of a few new strains, currently germinating 5 of them 🎉
Prennez soin de vous and any suggestions and comments are always appreciated 🙏🏾
Peace ✌️🏾
Week 5 done for This girl 🎉
She spent the week branching out like crazy so I had to adjust my wires from time to time. The canopy got pretty bushy, I'm happy 😊
I want her to have a certain shape reason for this pretty aggressive LST
She finished the week by showcasing her first few pistils 🌷
From now I'll be keeping the humidity around 60% or lower and an eye on temperature, I'm trying to aim for a perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)
Added a few nutes to the feed and changed the Co2 Packs.
I'm excited for this week's changes, stay safe.
Peace ✌️🏾
This week has been exciting, Buddy is nicely filling up with new growth everywhere 😋🎉
Her main stems are now very far from the center, causing most of the bottom branches to reach for the light and put on some crazy size daily. Hopefully this all translates to more buds, I see it coming🤞🏾
So far I haven't had any issue, she's a pretty tuff girl 🦁
Summer is here where I live, Days been getting hotter and my tent almost reach 33°c> at times, to my surprise she isn't bothered at all ❤️
Had to speed up my fan though
Changed the Co2 packs and from the next feed we'll be messing with the nutes some more
J'espère que vous allez tous bien !
Peace ✌️🏾
Sup people!👋🏾
First I will like to say this will be my first time doing LST, HST and Topping on an Auto
Initially I wasn't really sure, I have been training Buddy for some weeks now and I can tell you she the perfect one for such operations!
She's been reacting pretty well and it's amazing to see her bounce back each time 😈
Week 7 ended with a blast! 🕺🏾
She's starting to smell a little, I turned on my exhaust fan on low speed, will be adding volts as the smell gets stronger.
So far so good, I'm happy with what seed stockers made here👌🏾
Big bud's genetics are incredible and I can't wait to see her finish Up and 🌬️🌀😂
Take care of each other famo and happy growing to you all 💚
Peace ✌️🏾
Week 8 done for Buddy! ⚡
Throughout this week she mostly did her early flower stretch.
She keeps growing each day, by the end she'll double or probably triple in size .. 😋
Meanwhile the buds have been steady swelling up at a rate I'm much happy with. They will indeed speed up once the stretching is done
I carefully did some HST on a few branches and the two main stems. By stressing the plant this way, she reacts defensively like in the wild by putting on some charged up growth 🐎
The Co2 packs and the nutes have been good to me everything is under cruise control 🛸
Onto Week 9 with confidence 💪🏾
Peace ✌️🏾
On this day beautiful Sunday I hope you all are doing amazing!
Its Day 64 for Buddy, you can see from the Pics she's going crazy now 😌
This week the buds started taking shape 🥦, I'm not really sure but I think she's done with her stretch and started putting the focus on the good stuff. Maybe she'll be done with it this week we'll see.
In the meantime, some Pistils started turning orange but I know she still has a few weeks to go. We'll see with how she develops, imma start getting my loupe ready 🔎 👀
I added Advance Nutrients Overdrive to the feed 🔥
I'm happy with SeedStockers, I'm thinking of running more phenos from them in the coming months 💐👌🏾
Time to change my Co2 packs and mess with the humidity.
I read 40 to 60 % humidity is advised during flowering but I think it's all about keeping the humidity below 70 especially if you live somewhere hot like me. That includes keeping your growth area super clean and avoid watering when not needed too 👍🏾
I decided to never hit 40 because the dehumidifier it self produces heat + the Ligth's heat that all adds up to 40°C real quick. I almost had a heart attack when I read that on my temperature monitor 😂
We humans don't function properly at such temperatures and I'm sure as hell these plants won't either
Take care Y'all and I just wish to say I'm really grateful to grow in these times. I live in one of the nations still on lockdown, it's been going on for months now so yeah
Peace ✌️🏾
Week 10 Over for Buddy ✨
Hope you all doing well your gardens as well.
This week has been great mainly because my lady's buds are swelling for real. I see a 40 to 50% color change on the pistils. The trichomes also started turning but most are still clear.
I would have loved to stay in range with my temps (27°C/Day and 23°C/Night are ideal) but sometimes we just have to adjust to ongoing situations and sort them out using what we have on hand.
I play with the dehumidifier using its in-built timer Knowing I want to keep the tent's humidity between 45-65%
For these last weeks I will switch on my ac to be cooling the tent. Read it can do wanders ie: low humidity + low temps.
Like mentioned last week, the dehu produces heat, if uncontrolled it can seriously mess up your overall room temps.
In this stage it's very important to give your plant/plants all the attention she/they need. I did the last defoliation, removed most of the lower pop-corn nuggets. This will cause the plant to redirect her energy to the bigger ones.
BIG BUD should be one good harvest, the crazy LST, TOPPING, and the light HST will hopefully pay off.
I never did any of this before, thanks to my research, I'm happy with the outcome. She really looks impressive 🥦
From this week I'm starting the flush, no more nuting for her, just water and Advance Nuitrients Flawless Finish.
I'll let her go for 2 more weeks to maximize the yield. I think she'll be worth the wait.
Talk to you soon.
Peace ✌️🏾
Week 11 complete! *Rubs hands * 👏🏾😂
This week, buddy really showed me what she's about. The buds have been swelling and the smell just keeps getting stronger, lovely 😍
After better thought, I decided to fix my AC Unit. I keep my tent half open and let the duck fan suck in cold air from my room to the growth area.
So far I'm so happy with the results, my tent is cooler, the humidity stays relatively low all the time, and my girl seems to be loving it!
I began flushing with FF, I love how it's helping my girl put out her true colors!
Most of the pistils are turning and the trichomes are not starting to get milkrtp
Do you guys think she's ready to be chopped? Let me know in the comments, I will appreciate 🙏🏾
I'm keeping my eyes👁️ on these trichomes for this last week, I want the smoke to be a perfect match to the plants genetics 🙌🏾🤠
Take care of each other beautiful people, thanks for growing with me.
Peace ✌️🏾
Week 12 Done for this beautiful lady 💚
I've completed the flush and after checking the trichomes, I'm pretty much happy with what I see.
Some Leaves been yellowing (took them out) and most of the Pistils have changed colors and are now curling on them selves. 🔥
The smell so strong, each time I pick her up it's like I'm carrying a small lemon tree 😍😋
I'm sending her into a 2 days dark period then will cut her down and send her into the drying room. The drying process should take 7 to 10 days.
I will then post my harvest results and how she smokes like too.
Until then
Peace ✌️🏾
From her early weeks, Big Bud showed the characteristics of a champ!
She grew very quickly and stayed very resistant to sickness. She also took on nuitrients without issues so throughout the growth I really had nothing to worry about.
When growing her be sure to give her the space she needs, for she can get quite bushy. LST and topping worked on her perfectly, so I'll recommend that, I could clearly see the Canopy loved it.
This was my first time growing, with all the techniques involved. (LST, TOPPING, DEFOLIATION, HST)
I'm very much glad with what I learned throughout this and I will probably run strains from seed stockers in the future.
Experience is key, next time I will definitely let the plant for a few more weeks.
Once you start in a good soil mix combined with dope growth conditions, things will surely fall in line.
On that note, take care of each other
Peace ✌️🏾
