Hello Growers and Tokers! ๐ ๐ฉโ๐พ ๐งโ๐พ.๐ฅ๐จ
Sorry for the delay on the updates. ** THIS TEXT SERVES FOR WEEKS 14-18**
I had ALOT of problems with this lady these past 4 weeks.
Really bad weather, rain, wind, blazing heat, cloudy, temps going from 17-35C every other day for 2 WEEKS straight.. very sketchy! World's going to shit y'all!
Also had a Spider mites battle for 3 weeks and finally got rid of them.
And on top of that, all of the pictures I had weekly were deleted off my pc..
Only have a few for each week, luckly found those on my phone.
I've been watering 2L every other day for the past 4 weeks.
Some days less.. about 1.6L beacuase there just wasn't enough sun for her to drink up.
On week 16 there were some crazy-ass MFing winds. I'm talking gone with the wind style.
As I had the spider mite problem, I didn't want to bring her in the house and risk those little fuckers finding their way to my grow room.
(As I have that section perfectly isolated and pest free, wanted to keep it that way.)
The result of not bringing her inside?
The bottom branches that weren't tied down properly because I didn't think they would be damaged as the balcony has a little wind breaker on the bottom half.
But to my surpise.. all three branches snapped and broke, So i decided to go ahead and take them off.
I know it isn't much info for the past weeks, but It's what I've been battling with.
The buds are airy as a result of all the stress, don't look to appleaing to be honest.
My other two GSC came out GREAT, awesome lovely dense buds but those were different conditions.
I'm just finishing her to harvest because she made it through a big battle and deserves to be harvested as a champion she is.
Keeping in mind this was just a balcony experiment to see what I can and can't do with this balcony..
I'm not too worried about the final outcome. Luckily she pulled through so i'll make some hash with what I harvest.
I'll also be joining the FastBuds Halloweed contest with this lady before harvesting and I've got the perfect idea... ๐
Hope you all enjoyed the update and again sorry for the long delay on this one.
You can check out my other diaries of indoor ladies.
Take care out there!
One Love!
This diary is my first reference for my grow as your week 1 growth is very strong - Iโm interested whether week 1 is a predictor of yield at the end. I hope you see her to the finish, good luck growmie ๐ฌ๐๐๐
@Tripledrop, Thanks! ๐
First week I had her under a 600w HPS, then I took her outside where she only receives about 5 hours of direct sun light.
Love this strain, she's a beast!
Happy Growing!๐๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ
I did the same overwatering mistake - these girls donโt like to drink ๐คช. It looks like your lady is just going into flower. These girls can take ages to finish - donโt cut early, unless you have a plant issue of course. Good luck growmie, looking great so far!! Stay safe ๐
@Mr_Motalovah, I hope I finish the one Iโm growing alongside your grow. Iโve not had any luck/skill (i wish) growing with autos. I look forward seeing your grow develop, stay safe ๐๐
@Tripledrop, She was drinking up the hot days but when the heat went down, she said it was too much. ๐
She sure is starting to flower, pistils started popping up at the end of the week. That's why I left this week in veg.
That's true man! Last one I had her inside the tent with 7 other photo periods.
She took longer than all the other in the tent a total of about 15 weeks or so but it was worth it!
The taste in this strain is delicious! ๐
@Tripledrop, Hey! In week 10 she was 80cm, week 11 90cm, week 12 100cm and I just measured her today end of week 13 and sheโs at 104cm.. so Iโm guessing her flower stretch is over and sheโll start filling in buds. ๐๐
She definitely grew waaaay over my expectations. Compared to the other two seeds from the pack sheโs way bigger. Looks like a normal fem.. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ป
She is a big girl for a GSC auto! These are meant to be 40% sativa but yours looks more sativa going by the thin leaf shape - sativas stretch a lot, you might need to plan ahead and work out what to do if she stretches like I suspect she will! Super cropping I guess is your best bet. Good luck!
@Tripledrop, Hey!! I just saw this comment, sorry for the late reply. ๐
Yeah, she is huge for a GSC auto ๐
Certainly took the Sativa side. The Fast buds strain specifics say she can grow up to 100cm.. the other two seeds from the pack werenโt nearly as big as this one. At most 70cm I think.. you were right about the stretch ๐ she did lots of that! I just let her do her thing because I had already topped her.
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics ๐
Let us know if you need any assistance, weโre more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! ๐ฑโ๏ธ๐ด๐๐ฟ๐ณ
Sheโs looking great! Are you going to put her in a bigger pot soon, before flowering? I think you should but depends on how much space you have in the area you will flower her in.
@Tripledrop, Hey! Thanks for the adivice! ๐
This was just a little experiment I have going..
I only get 5 hours of direct sunlight on the balcony so I didn't think she was going to grow so much.
First time I grew this strain was also outdoors and got about 10 hours of direct sunlight, she didn't grow this much because it was in a 8L pot..
I thought about it but if I put her in a bigger pot she'll grow way too much for my little balcony ๐...
This one is 11L and she is about 60cm, no signs of flowering yet.. so when flowering she'll reach about 110cm tall... I think that's an alright size.๐
Happy Growing! ๐๐
Hola, se ve genial tu planta! Felicitaciones.
Estoy cultivando la misma genรฉtica pero me sorprende cรณmo has llegado a la semana 18 siendo que estas son de entre 9/10 semanas? Me intriga!
Gracias!
@HurlinghCultiveta, Hey, Thanks! Glad you like them. ๐
They are 9/10 weeks of flower plus the additional weeks of vegetation.
To be honest, I have no idea how this one took longer to start flowering.
This is my third time growing this strain, first two runs they started flowering at week 5 if i'm not mistaken, this one took an extra 4 weeks.
I planted with the objective to harvest first of september. So it also has me intrigued. ๐
