Growing Autos

Smaller Setup.. Not the Big shabangO. Thought about not posting decided too post for shits and giggles. Plants started roughly March 25th/2019. Transitioning to flower right now as per visible pistils and stretching. Leaf damage to Lsd-25 from Low PH.. Flora Series With Green Planet Supplements. Nothing Amazing yet. Extra Green Planet Supplement Is Rezin.

5 weeks we're just gonna say 5 weeks old. Not 100% sure on the exact date I started em. But they are looking really good. They have been a bit finicky but that could easily be the combination of new nutrients. The plant of the left has had Near zero training and the two plants on the right only got lst. No defoliation. New lights put in, stressed the ladies out a bit but I'm gonna be thanking myself in the later period of flower I'm hoping. It was a light "downgrade" and hopefully will not run into the height problems I had with the previous light.

Wow! Started what would be the Second phase of flower this would be somewhere around week 5. Went in Water on March 27th/2020 All three Sprouted by April 1st. So many changes happening decided to post a day early. They have gained about 20 inches in height And there are purple buds forming on the LSD-25. These are gonna be some beautiful ladies. Switched the lights around to provide better coverage. Added UVB lights to the setup and put them on 30 mins a day for first week. Also added a powdered product called Bloom Booster 0-50-34 by Green Planet Nutrients. Umm this is growing incredibly fast. It's going so fast the "schedule" I originally made is gone. We are 100% winging it with the nutrient numbers. This is a lot of fun and really rewarding Auto flowers are awesome.

End of 6th week. Switched light set up around yet again. Think we got the golden sweet spot with this light setup finally, it's a short tent the cobs were just too intense so it's now in the big tent, using three lights we originally got for supplemental lights. Not a clean set up wires everywhere, not overly happy about that. But very cool and explosion of buds. Did LST the tall guy everything is coming in nice and even now. Gonna be a beautiful turn out. Colors Already.. Super stoked for that first smoke.

I'd like to title this Diary entry Screw You Advanced Nutrients. 7th week done.. 3 weeksish left on the Lsd-25 and 4 weeksish on the purple Lemonade.. Gonna be some chunky mothers. Purple coming up everywhere, pretty colours. Oh yes we are very pleased so end of 7th week for these ladies and stretching has stopped thank goodness and we are now into bud building/mass building. The two lsd-25 plants definitely went into full flower "mode" sooner. The Colorful lady seems to have benn mass building all week. Probably gonna have different harvest windows on these ladies. Was hoping for same time but it's okay we are creative and will figure a way ahead. There is some CO2 being fed in the tent. With a smaller co2 bucket. We will be trying out a new one for us and it is a product called dense from green planet. We will using dense when the regular reservoir change is suppose to happen. Before we feed only Dense we will be prepping the ladies with an extra feeding of GP3 micro. Buffering the leaves and prepping the uptake for the feeding. So with dense there will be only a feed of Dense with UC roots and ph down. The formula of dense is 0-0-62 so this is a very concentrated Potash supplement. We will be using 1/2 recommended doses as per our system and it's requirements. This will run for 4-5 days and significantly increase the Amount of Potash in the Plant fear not.. The next 2-3 days will run with just phed water then onto P-k spiking with Bloom Booster alone. At this stage Massive Bloom formulation would be great as well but we wanna cut out our nitros while still have some micros.. So we will feed smaller amounts of GP3 Micro with Powdered bloom booster, rezin and liquid weight. Right up until we do a 3 day flush before harvest. Nutrients and Light is the idea so we will see turn outs and everything. If you are wondering what is the difference between the plants and the lady on the left looks so burnt. Left side only fed Flora Series w/ Advanced Nutrients supplements the plants on the right side is fed only Flora Series with Green planet supplements. The nutrient formulas provided in this diary are for right plants only. We can not express the amount of disgust we feel towards Advanced Nutrients as we spent good money on their product and feel genuinely ripped off. The words smelly disgusting mess describe what happened when we added big bud to left side. Bottle smells fine but the Formula is obviously way off as we did not have issues like this when using it the first dozen or so times. We will be using chemical nutrients and powders for life now and will not use Advanced Nutrients again or recommend it for anyone. The Organic Big Bud Formula is no good for hydroponic growing and they obviously rushed it to market to make money..... We really wanted to finish with Advanced Nutrients being the supplement on the left side but we can not. The product itself has basically made it impossible to continue confidently using any Advanced Nutrients labeled as both Organic and Safe for hydroponics. The proof is in the pudding and so glad and happy really now that we are using Green Planet and continue on this trend of cleaner greener growing and a more intelligent approach. On a further note just to go a bit further Bud Candy for example contains sugars that are basically present in Black Molasses. So what they've basically done is filtered and bleached Black Molasses and watered it down and are selling it to us at around 40 bucks a litre. Bunch of crooks Screw you Advanced Nutrients.

I... We.. You... What in the hell is with all this dude???? Well there is funding from other sources and input and information has come in from other places as well. Did I start and grow the ladies yes I did.. Did I do it alone with no help or information from others? Nope I did not. Did the plants grow themselves? Hell yea they did look at these girls they are gorgeous and I didn't do that, I helped and gave them what they needed. But it's nothing special or tricky I didn't do anything different from practices I have seen in other places, NOT TAKING CREDIT, I just read some shit intrepeted and did some growing made some observations and Learned pretty amazing right?.... Plenty of lights ample nutrients. A shifting ph balance to 6 only when @ 6.5 or 5.5. The plants do a lot of the work so happy these ones decided to cooperate. This is not a trophy or monument to me as a person but to this Beautiful and amazing Plant.. 2-3 weeks now Dry it, cure it. Put that shit in the bong and off to wonderland. Great results very pleased. now it's jut watch the monster colas get even bigger.. The left side.... Fracking Advanced Nutrients.... The Green Planet Supplements alone.... First time Iv'e ever used Chemical Nutrients and never had very little to no tip burn... The Supplements from Green Planet like actually do something and help the plant grow and thrive. The Advanced stuff actually hurt the girl and furthermore from seeing the GP performance it's like Advanced doesn't even deserve a second look. So if you wanna see good live rosin extracts and pressing from Trims and Flowers of various quality and how to get good quality Rosin from your pressings. Let's talk.. If your pressing and want to discuss please do. Discussion is the first part of better yourself, not looking to get my dick stroked by a bunch of dudes on the internet thank you.. I will provide pictures and some evidence that I'm NOT FULL OF SHIT like some. I can disagree with you, you can disagree with me. we can discuss that's how we move forward as a community not being all "Happy nice everything is great, Sunshine and rainbows". Two days after having the 2 plants fed Dense for 1 week there was a huge SURGE in intake from the reservoir, literally 12-14 litres Gone used by 2 plans. If you do a little bit of looking into how plants use water there can be a direct correlation between a surge in growth and the reservoir water being used by the plants... Wait until next week.. Going to be huge buds... “Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed—and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian law-maker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment—the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution—not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants"—but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.” ----------- JFK

One Giant Lady left. She will be the big yielder.. Forget genetics the reason she thrived and grew was she seemed to be in the "green" zone the most ie. she was healthiest longest. The high acidic reservoir that screwed my third week for one plant didn't really phase her even tho they were in the same container but yes this has more to do with what was done then the ladies themselves. It was easier when I was new to assume it was a bad seed or it was the plant... Now I know it's much more productive to try and understand and see what I have done wrong or misjudged that could affect it. Will update nutrients later got plant things to do. no time. The major issue with week 3 was a surge in intake from the high amount of Fulvic acid (me related 100% sort of I mean I did 1/2 bottle thing but the ladies and the reservoir said no that was a bad idea no I'm using like 1/4 and they all seem to love it across the board.. Plants are funny little creatures and sometimes they love or handle stuff better and sometimes they don't. I'm a dick I don't care in a sense.... This is the internet I crave and thrive on human social interactions and I am a poor communicator when I am emotional. It's a problem with being passionate and opinionated. I won't apologize for saying anything why are we taught as societies not to stir the pot little? I'm working on growing me too I realized I am a successful grower and I'm spending a lot more time focusing on my own inner demons and working out a lot of problems. It's not happening overnight but it's a process. And I hope as a person to grow and continue to improve.. Not alone again as I have funding from my lovely lady she has been my better half for these past few years and I'm very lucky to have her in my life supporting and helping me. She paid for the vast majority of the lights and also listened to my grow rants, Yes I know they are fox tailing.. This is a genetic factor as the foxtails are present in all parts of the canopy and bud formations. Also Iv'e looked at many pick of the Purple lemonade and fox tailing is a common trait.

Choppa Choppa the unimpressive Lsd-25 yielded about 32 ozs of top upper colas.. The piles of hash are from the lower canopy/sugar leaves. Pleased with the overall turnout as she was stunted bad by me using a new nutrient line and not exercising caution with certain additives. She gave a descent turn out and her sister is looking like a real scale tipper. Will update with that tomorrow nice big colas lots of weight on the last plant.

Only water for the past week being added to reservoir after nutrients..... Huge intakes... Very big plant.. Very big Buds... I have no idea what the weight will be... But it will big lol... Fucking awesome... All grown with Cheap leds lol well relatively cheap about 400 CAD all said and done on all the lights.. Full 1000 ppfd coverage on this plant with some extra ... There is a method to the madness. Foxtails are genetic related.. As they are present on all parts of the plant. The very tips of all big colas have been circumcised and my buds are all Kosher Now lol. No it helps make for fatter colas and stops some of the long and spindly look from happening.. I'd love to explain to everyone in great detail why the tip clipping is a cool idea especially with a foxtaily strain but if you can't figure it out.... not worth explaining.. Lots of love thanks for reading and happy growing! There's some big fat nugs for the naysayers and haters to suck on... Your welcome 😁😄😂 On a side note the Mars Hydro SP150 is out... 2board quantum panel comes in with another couple cheap boards... It's pretty fricking cool and hard to explain but the full 1000 pffd is gonna happen with like 7-8 lights and not a whole lot of loss to my wallet or should I say my old ladies. God Bless her for giving me the extra funding during these tough times and helping me achieve what I was thinking. Considerations will be made and have also ordered a Watt Meter so we can start totally up some of what we actually drawing... This is a one plant no auto tent for the next grow and It's gonna be a Romulan from Pyramid Seeds, I love Star trek and she should really love a scrog setup. All I know is one plant 4-5 week veg and it'll be a tree. "The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people. 'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that - ever notice that? - and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over - not one human being excluded - and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace. Just added an extra line for revision testing purpose." - Bill Hicks.

Why do I have to put in nutrients... The good old power of high quality h20 did a ton of work here.. Credit where credit is do praise Neptune the god of the sea. Done.... Done enough.. could've gone a bit farther.. Had developed trichomes was still pushing pistils on a few colas.. I don't like how saturated with nitro she looks but it is what is.. Pretty Colors.. Buds for the kiddies and new folks. Not very good product really. A Grade at best. SHAKES FIST TOWARDS the heavens "WHY OH WHY!?!?!??!". The intake was obviously really messed up by me at some point and I stopped making correct formula corrections soon enough.... Should've followed my gut and went with what I was seeing.. Took a wait and see approach as I didn't really know if the auto would keep stretching.. I think that's part of what really screwed me up was the stretch on this girl was like 4 weeks. and I'm way more use to the "programmed" stretch of photo plants.. Anyway tons of fun will post weights when I got em altogether.. Only about 1/4 top of the plant will be kept the rest is all larf/oil/extract bound... Might even be Extracting the whole frigging plant we will see how all the top colas taste and feel. Check out my learner auto plant.. First set of auto plants … That's enough for now lol.. I'll try again later... eventually.. Maybe... I don't know.. No promises. "All that glitters is not gold."

This is all I was so excited about.. I figured out a way for me too grow WEIGHTS... It's kind of messy and weird.. Not what everyone is doing I'm okay with that... I mean you can hate on it if you want that's cool I could see your point of view... That's my power dudes and dudettes. Not special or a rock star. Just got stupid excited cause of the condition and poured my will onto you folks expecting things to be different... I understand why things didn't change.. I had to change me first 😂💪😁 Much love guys and all the best. Smoke report after proper curing... Doing things my way... Sorry but not really ha ha ha.. I saw a better way for me.. Not for all but for me :) Note for me as well as you: 84 grams of Top Colas.. And a ton of larfy flowery stuff.. Not 100% cured I like to bag to even out the final drying process so could drop like 10-20 grams and that's high range... But there is a bit of water there for sure.
