2018 CLOSET GROW – BUDDHA HAZE II - Autoflower (2018)
Growing under 2 - 300W Bloomspect LEDS, 1 - 135W BlackStar UFO LED, and 3 - 4' T5 HO (early veg & side-lighting during flower). Added a passive intake system that consists of a Suncourt 8" ThruWall Exhaust Fan (high in closet) and a 8" x 12" Air Intake Grille (low in closet). Also added a Holmes Twin Window Fan with Comfort Control Thermostat that has both intake and exhaust options for each fan. This set up will keep temperature and CO2 levels consistent. Growing in 3 gallon fabric grow pots filled with 60% Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, 30% Perlite, and 10% Worm Castings. For waterings, added 1/2 teaspoon of SuperThrive to 3 gallons water aerated/bubbled for 24-48 hours. No other nutrients will be added until week 3.

Day 12 of organic grow and all is well. Seemed to have dialed in the conditions and able to keep good air movement, CO2 levels, and consistent temperatures/humidity with the ThruWall Closet Fan (Model TW108 ), and the Holmes Twin Exhaust/Intake Fan (Model HAWF-2041). Humidity is maintained with a Lovoit 6L Ultrasonic Programmable Cool Mist Humidifier (Model# LV600HH). Added a SCROG screen (just a cargo net) and bought the Sample Pack of organic nutrients from Nectar for the Gods (just pay shipping and they will send you the sample nutrients - check out the website). People say their line of nutrients make the buds smell and taste like no other! I have always been an organic Earth Juice nutrient guy, so I am going to experiment with combining the two.
Lights are on 24/0 and she has tight internodal spacing with good vertical growth. Room that closet is in is beginning to smell skunky at times, and like diesel at other times. Will begin light organic nutrients with next watering. If you made it this far, please check out my other autoflower grows.
Day 13 - Watered today with very low strength nutrients added. - Zannabis7
Day 20 – The Buddha Haze Autoflower (plant #2) grow continues to thrive in the current closet grow setup. She has doubled in height since the beginning of week 2. Have not added any nutrients other than Recharge (living soil microbe), Cal/Mag, and SuperThrive. Have been watering approximately every 3-4 days.
Side shoots are becoming abundant and will begin some leaf tucking in the coming week to expose these side shoots to more light, create more fully developed bud sites, and to promote a more even canopy. - Zannabis7
Day 21 - Set up an automatic watering/feeding system so that plants can be easily watered with SCROG net in place. This will also water/feed plants while traveling or away for longer durations. The watering system can be found on Amazon - STOH Micro Automatic Drip Irrigation Kit/Self Watering System with 30-Day Timer. Link follows:

Day 22 – Fed with Nectar for the Gods nutrients, Recharge (soil microbes), and SuperThrive. Aerated the mix with aquarium air pump (two stones) for approximately 15 minutes prior to feed.
Day 23–Looking healthy enough to begin some defoliation and leaf tucking. Defoliation to remove some of the fan leaves to allow for some air movement/circulation as plant had such tight internodal spacing. Leaf tucking to assist with side flower exposure. Will start bending the main stem under the SCROG net in the coming days.
Day 26 - Fed with the same Nectar of the Gods based regimen but increased the Herculean Harvest. Added Bloom Khaos and a 1/2 teaspoon Recharge. Continued with some leaf tucking to expose flower sites. - Zannabis7
Day 28 – The Buddha Haze II plant continues to stretch and has gain several inches of growth in the past week. She is just beginning to flower and is pushing numerous side shoots and flower/bud sites. Have continued with some minor leaf tucking and have been directing the side branches into different squares of the SCROG net in an attempt to create a fairly even canopy. Added a G8LED 90 Watt Red Flower Booster UFO light to the closet to assist with the flowering stage. Lowered the 300 Watt Bloomspect LEDs and angled them slightly to mix with the two UFO (red) flowering LEDs.
Continuing to feed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients mixed with Recharge (soil microbes) and aerated with aquarium air pump (two stones) for approximately 15 minutes prior to feed. She is starting to drink more and have been watering/feeding approximately every 3 days. – Zannabis7
Day 29 - Fed Nectar of the Gods nutrients mixed with Recharge (soil microbes) and aerated with aquarium air pump (two stones) for approximately 15 minutes prior to feed. - Zannabis7
Day 31 - Starting to drink more. Light feeding of straight Recharge today. - Zannabis7
Day 33 - Fed Nectar for the Gods regimen with increased Herculean Harvest dosage. The plants are loving the organic CALCIUM based nutrients. Will update to week 6 tomorrow (02/04/2017) - Zannabis7
Day 35 – The Buddha Haze II has really taken off and is trying to catch the others after a slow start. She has some nice flowers starting to develop and looks extremely healthy. She continues to stretch as she has gained 5” in height this week.
Continuing to feed the Nectar for the Gods nutrients and have added Triton’s Trawl (liquid fishbone meal that is rich in calcium from fish cartilage and is designed to deliver flavor, aroma and color to the finished product) and Aphrodite’s Extraction (a rich blend of sucrose, fructose, chelated nutrients, and organic acids necessary for enzymatic activity, and a complete balance of vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B6 and B12, which are essential to a plants’ biological growth processes). These two additions are known to increases oil, resin, frost, and terpene production in flower. Continuing to add Recharge as a soil amendment to establish colonies of beneficial fungal and bacterial microbes.
Temperatures are consistently between 74° - 78° and humidity between 30% - 45%. Soil pH is 6.5 and PPMs at 321 which is perfect for the Nectar for the Gods nutrient line.
Added a homemade Co2 generator to boost carbon dioxide levels and to improve overall plant growth and health. – Zannabis7
Day 36 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients as indicated above and in photo. Added Recharge to the nutrient mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. - Zannabis7
Day 39 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients as indicated above and in photo. Again added Recharge to the nutrient mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. Also did some very light defoliation and more leaf tucking to expose flower sites - Zannabis7
Day 46 – The Buddha Haze II continues to stretch and gained approximately 5 inches in the past week and a half. Trichomes are thickening and some dense bud formations are developing. She is throwing out some nice white pistol hairs that have a unique glow about them.
Continuing to feed the Nectar for the Gods nutrients and added Recharge as a soil amendment to establish colonies of beneficial fungal and bacterial microbes.
Temperatures are consistently between 74° - 78° and humidity between 30% - 40%. Soil pH is 6.4 and PPMs at 389 which is right in range for the Nectar for the Gods nutrient line. – Zannabis7
Day 47 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients and added Recharge to the mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. Continued with light defoliation and more leaf tucking to expose flower sites. - Zannabis7
Day 50 – The Buddha Haze II has stopped her vertical growth and is really pushing the pistols, trichomes, and a pine-like smell.
Continuing to feed the Nectar for the Gods nutrients with added Recharge as a soil amendment to establish colonies of beneficial fungal and bacterial microbes.
Temperatures are consistently between 74° - 78° and humidity between 30% - 45%. Soil pH is 6.5 and PPMs at 407 which is right in line for the Nectar for the Gods nutrients. – Zannabis7
Day 51 - Watered with Recharge only to reset the soil and ready her for the final push of nutrients. - Zannabis7
@Gr33nGiant, Yeah - my understanding is you just don't know when it stops producing without the second bottle. I just change mine out weekly. Seems to be working fine to me. I got the set-up and recipe from @BudKingsGrow (thanks buddy). Anyhow, thanks for checking in on the girls and for your kind words about their beauty.
I really liked the video of your grow room. Is the Carbon Dioxide Generator new? I couldn't follow the tubing. Where does the gas emerge? I love your humidifier, fan setup. That works very nicely. In all, your plants are in cannabis nirvana.
@Quexos, Glad to hear you watched and liked the video. The Co2 generator tubes are split at the top and drop down to either side of the UFO LEDs. If you look at the picture titled "Homemade Co2 Generator" you can see two air stones on either side of the UFO lights that help disperse the Co2 more evenly. @BudKingsGrow was kind enough to share the information on making a generator.
Hey Z can I pick your brain about nutrients? I've noticed that you use a lot of nutrients. I've shunned nutrients so far, but now that my plant is flowering, I'm thinking I might want to add some flowering nutes. I'm not sure they will make a huge difference, but from what I've been reading, they seem to help a lot. I was looking at products like Bud Candy and Big Bloom? Any thoughts, or suggestions?
@Zannabis7, Hey Z. I took advantage of the sampler kit from Oregon's Only. They sent me a ton of stuff! I am going to use it on my next grow, and do a side by side comparison with Advanced Nutrients. Thanks again for all the info!
By the way, the latest picture of your full grow room is gorgeous.
@Quexos, Week 7 of any one of my current grows has a nice feeding chart that I have developed for Nectar and AutoFlowers. Feel free to print it out and use as you see fit or to customize for your own use. Best wishes.
@Zannabis7, I saw that when I went on their website. I will ask for a sample pack when I get ready to start my next grow.
I'll look into those 3 items for the finishing stage of my plant. Again, thanks for all the help!
@Quexos, Certainly sounds like the set- up would work. However, I like to mix my nutrients and aerate right before feeding. I don't like them sitting in the reservoir (unless I am away for a long period of time). My primary concern is the nutrients clogging up the automatic watering system. This is what I will find out with the system in the coming weeks/months.
@Zannabis7, yes please. I looked at several of the auto systems on Amazon. I wonder if you could set the timers and use 2 reservoirs. You could use one for fresh and one fore nutes. Air pumps that will power 2 airstones are easy to find.
@Quexos, I haven't started utilizing the auto water system yet. My plan is to run nutrients and all through the system and see what happens. I will have to keep you posted on this as i experiment with the process.
@Quexos, You got it - I will add that in to each diary after I get each separate grow updated. The Pineapple Express is no longer in the canopy. She finished to my liking as she had 85% milky trichomes, 10% amber and 5% clear. Been working on a video for the FastBuds Mega Haul.
@Endriu, Hey man! Thanks for the kind words and for dropping in. I do have some nice frost developing on my grows that have been updated (Girl Scout Cookies, Pineapple Express, Auto Kush). I used Microsoft Movie Maker for the video. Happy grows!
Nice progress Z. The plants are filling in nicely. I expected them to be bigger. It must be the autos? I don't see any evidence of training or topping. What exactly do you mean by leaf tucking? Your photos are very well done.
@Quexos, She's my smallest plant at this stage, but she is gaining quickly on the others. Should make for a fairly even flowering canopy (I hope). I did do some training with the other plants (minor bending under the SCROG net). Leaf tucking is just tucking bigger fan leaves out of the way to allow more light to side branches and bud sites. Thanks for the kind words about the photos. Best wishes...
@FadedTotoro, Thanks for looking in on the grow. Yes, the Cargo net works well, but the spacing is a little wide. We'll see how it goes once we hit the stretch. Best wishes...
That's my hope 😊 Will try to keep it evenly dispersed via the SCROG net. I grew 6 plants last grow and it seemed I could fit one more with the SCROG net. So is your thinking that I have too many plants for the space? We'll see.
Since you have already completed one grow, with your system in place, you know far better than me.
My comment was more on the beautiful greenery, and how dense it will be when finished.
