Nutes - see picture
Seeds -
2 x Heavyweight - Fast & Vast (was 3)
_____________________________
17th Feb Day 4 - been watering lightly to keep the soil moist, both seedlings coming along nicley.
_____________________________
18th Feb Day 5 - Pots were light and dry, watered with 10L nutrients added at 1/2 strength. I will be switching from 24/4 to 20/4 soon.
21st Feb - Day 8 will start LST soon.
💧Watered with light feed
____________________________
25th Feb - Day 12 LST'd the main stem, They're responding well at the moment.
____________________________
28th Feb Day 15 - Things coming along fine. Done some LSTing will wait a little till all the branches grow out then il LST one last time before flower. Will water and feed later or tomorrow with some veg nutes I'm hoping for an explosion this week✌️🏻️
_____________________________
1st March Day 16 - 💧Watered and fed. Wow, things just go from bad to worse. My 1 F&V is showing sex at such a young age I don't expect to get any yeild of her. I've had a F&V show sex at 12 days, it could be genetics or it could be me/new setup. What's changed you ask? I'm using HPS from seedling VS LED (wider blue spectrum). I'm also using a low volume of soil in a smallish pot 3 gallons/13L some ancient astronaut theorists say that a small pot starts an autoflowers flowering stage... Or the stress from the LST, the thing I used to hold the stem down restricted the growth of the main stem, similar to Supercropping I suppose... Tell me what you think?!✌️🏻️
_____________________________
March 4th Day 19 - 💧Watered with
1ml B-52
1ml sensi CalMag extra
1.5ml Canna terra vega
_____________________________
March 5th Day 20 - Pics show nitrogen tox on F#1 she is the biggest and fastest In the tent. You would have thought she wanted more N, looks like it was just right. Going to cut out Grow nutes (canna terra vega)
March 6th Day 22 - Not fed them week 4 feed yet. Will water with plain water from the two stood for 24 hours to flush the excess nitrogen out of the soil. Preflowers showing on both plants now I expect F#2 to take off, fingers crossed.
_____________________________
March 7th Day 23 - 💧Watered with AN CalMag Extra: 0.5ml/L
AN B-52: 0.5ml/L
Voodoo Juice: 0.5ml/L
F#1 lots of preflowers. Hopfully no bud sites for a week! Finally I can say bring on the stretch!
F#2 always looks a little behind but she looks strong. I will hit them with a nice feed of PK 13/14 when they start flowering🌸
_____________________________
March 8th Day 24 - Not feeding anymore veg nutes.
_____________________________
March 9th Day 25 -
💧Watered fed both plants with
AN Voodoo Juice - 0.5ml/L (1/2)
Canna Rhizotonic - 0.5ml/L (Full)
Canna Terra Flores - 0.5ml/L (1/4)
Canna PK13/14 - 0.5ml/L (Full)
_____________________________
March 11th Day 27 - F#1 grown 8cm in 4 days buds forming now. F#2 is still in preflower stage I'm going to continue feeding a light veg feed for few weeks.
March 21st Day 37 -💧Watered. leaves starting to yellow. I held back on the N as I had some leaf curling early on. However I've found after growing this strain a fair few times she is really sensitive to N. Better that I backed off, they used some of their lead resources. Will feed them veg nutes at low strength for this week maybe next, il back off another 0.5ml/l✌️🏻️
_____________________________
March 22nd day 38 - Yellowing was progressing rapidly. I foliar fed advanced nutrients B-52 which has seemed to stop the yellowing. Time will tell, im going to add more bloom nutes to the next feed, should be tomorrow✌️🏻️
_____________________________
March 23rd Day 39 - will feed later with large volume of water + Nutes check run off on F#1
💧Fed above at 10pm, chopped some yellow leaves off F#1 she was yellowing from N def early flower.
Update - 1:30am leafa curling up on the edges of one plant, flushed with 1ml/L big bud
_____________________________
March 25th Day 41 - developments coming along fine. I've poked holes with a chopstick through the soil of both pots to give better aeration to the roots.
The bottom 3/4 of pot was drying out just fine, however the top layer of soil was always very moist even if the pot was light it was holding on to the water. So that should all be sorted now.
March 27th Day 43 - 💧Watered and fed both plants.
_____________________________
March 29th Day 45 - some nice bud development on both the F&V girls. Still mourning the loss of the main stem from my Mephisto CCB had nothing but dramas with her.
_____________________________
March 30th Day 46 - 💧Both girls watered and fed. Stinking lovely, cat pis smell is so strong on F#1. F#2 smells sweeter.
April 3rd Day 50 - 💧 Watered today with week 7 schedule as below:
1xVitalink - Silicon Max 0.5ml/L
AN B52 - 1ml/L
Canna Rhizotonic - 0.5ml/L
Canna Terra Flores - 2-3ml/L
Canna PK13/14 - 0.5ml/L
AN Big Bud - 1ml/L
AN CalMag - 1ml/L
I will start the week 8 feed next water, till week 9 then 1 week flush. Can see her going longer than 70 days.
Trimmed some shade leaves and all the tiny branches off f#2 she had loads of lollypops.
_____________________________
April 6th Day 53- 💧Fed week 8 schedule. F#1 is incredible smells so sweet like candy. F#2 is the woody pine pheno.
April 9th Day 56 - 💧last feed today I will begin to flush till day 70.
Buds have stopped swelling as much, but I guess the overdrive worked a little 🤔 we will see tomorrow if they produce another load of pistils I might give her another feed of overdrive and harvest past 70...
____________________________________
April 13th Day 60 - 💦FLUSHING 💦
April 17th Day 63, 1am - 💦 Flushed with 30L tap water both girls. Had a bad week no camera shots for a few days.
F#1 is my favourite of the 2, she smells so sweet a really strong Kush, bud to leaf ratio is perfect.
F#2 is not as strong, she smells a little more woody, piney, and a hint of cat piss... she will taste more skunky I guess.
Both plants are showing lots of cloudy trichs not many Amber. This week will be the last. Harvest planed for Saturday at 68 days✌️🏻
_____________________________April 19th Day 65 - 💦Flushed with the shower 5mins full plant. Tasted a small dried bud from a few days ago can taste chemicals so I will continue to flush for another few days.
23rd April Day 69 - 💧 flushed again, water coming out is fairly clear
_____________________________
25th April Day 71 - decided to continue flushing as I could still taste salt in the leaves last weekend when I planned to harvest. I can now not taste any salt👍🏼 Coming down tomorrow night timmed and hung as whole for 3 days then on to the screen✌️🏻

Wow!!! 😮
What a turn around. I really have had so many problems growing this strain in the past, much due to me. Though she may show many different phenotypes there are some utter gems in the pool!! Really was a last round KO took them to 12 weeks before the chop.
@Mimi_the_dog, in 2 weeks you should have buds like these, as I said it looks like youre 2 weeks behind me in development, at this stage you don’t want to do anything drastic. don’t over feed and consider a plain water feed between nutrient feedings if you’re giving them high doses✌️🏻
@PharmaZ, such a legend. Good reply and thanks! Learning every day. Just lost my pc so will update soon as I've mainlined both and added nuts.
Thanks again #staylifted
@Excalibur, Honestly yields are controlled by variety of factors, not just the genetic predisposition.
I went with autos first for size and light hours. the fact you can flower on 20/4 is great for keeping the room at the right temp when lights on/off.
The complete darkness rule is one of the most important possible stress factors! I have grown heaps of photo regs, photo fems in my experience autos ate the most rewarding. As a cannabis connoisseur I can add new seeds and pots to the tent at any interval. I am setting up another tent to dry in shortly. I will be putting some NL fems to veg soon! Sorry for the long reply bro, but you asked hehe✌️🏻️
Hey thanks for the reply man, I didnt know if HPS would screw up the veg stage but looks like it didnt bother yours at all. Im gonna switch mine to HPS at week 7 as I read that is when they are done the "vegging" stage and are full blown flower mode then. Might just do after week 6 as I definitely dont want to screw up the flowering!
I'm gonna post some pics later tonight and would appreciate your feedback as a lot of yellowing in the lower leaves has started and I have not seen that in other auto grows on here.
Interesting about adding the LED's along with the HPS. What what LED/HPS combination did you have?
Just wondering what I would add to 1000W HPS if I did that as well.....
Thanks again for the reply. I appreciate the guidance/thoughts 👍
@Dre11, No probs dude, HPS in veg is fine that's true. When I said I don't want to switch them out what I meant to say was... I'm running perpetual so I can't be switching them out, I have plants in veg aswel as flower👍🏼
Honestly if your supplementing the HPS you could go for a Mars hydro, or Vipar spectre they are your "value for money" and they are just that. Make sure you get 5 watt diodes. If you want max performance you want a COB.
Week 6-7 sounds about right if you're flipping them at 4. Gives them 2 weeks of stretch.
Hey Pharma how did you LST them? I havent done any of mine but it looks like it worked great for you!
Also, you mentioned previously that you had a sodium bulb from the beginning in an earlier post i read. did you change back or have you done this all with HPS??
Just wondering as I would like to do a perpetual garden but I would like to do HPS for flowering instead of MH but I dont want to screw up the veg by not having MH......
Thinking of 2 tents to do MH in one and HPS in other but would rather keep to one tent
They look great BTW. Excited to see how they finish!
@Dre11, Hey dude, I did write a nice full reply for you, but unfortunately it disapeared, so il keep this one a little shorter.
I start LST early, anywhere after the 3rd set of leaves. Always making sure I'm tying the tallest stretching branch/es below the next tallest wait a few days and repeat to try and keep them all the same height. Sometimes it's a bit hit or Miss as it It generally works better on some strains than others.
To answer you question about the lights. I have used HPS throughout the whole grow. Don't worry about screwing the VEG id be more worried about screwing up the flowering 😝
If you use MH during flower, it will create airy wispy like bud. Blue spectrum helps with flavor and smell but it's better supplemented by an LED.
I moved countries so unfortunately I don't have the LED anymore, but I will be adding one ASAP as an addition to the HPS.
Adding an LED light is really beneficial to all stages of growth. Switching out constantly is such a pain in the backside!!
I'll have another tent Sarto soon but it's for drying only. With perpetual you might want to consider that👍🏼
Thanks for your kind words dude, I'm looking forward to the gorilla beefing up✌️🏻️
Quite a set up - I am loving the strain, the set up, the nutrients, and the diary. Now we just need some germination and a nice grow to follow. Best wishes!
@PharmaZ, I got budrot on two colas bro :( any advice on what to do? Crystals are half cloudy half clear, and I have max 2 weeks left then I have no choice but to harvest. I spotted the rot because some random leaves on those colas were becoming yellow. Ive noticed all the colas are slightly lighter green at the top, no idea if this is normal during late flowering. Thanks bro!
@@frags, Cheers frags thanks for following brother much appreciate it!! I will do a final manicure when they have cured for a month we’re at 1 week so far✌️🏻
Heavyweight Fast & Vast my first autoflowering strain i evet grow and i remember that she have really good trichome production. i wish you best ofl uck mate
@J_MAN,i remember a guy on youtube growed heavyweight vfs and this video was the reason i choose that autos and first time i saw that autos do not like transplant, but i just ordered 1 seed and 20grams was all what i had :))
@@frags, same here frags, first auto I ever grew 👍🏼
I've grown about 10 of them and had various different phenos including a few herms 😜
I've had 2 indica pheno I'm not too keen on I had sativa pheno that was incredible THC production and the thing stunk of the skunk. Peace✌️🏻️
