Crystal Meth/TEST-CF Grow CXB3590-X2

Hey y'all Its ROC I'm back for my second grow on GrowDiaries.. Im hoping this one is a little better as im starting this one straight from the beginning... My last one was almost 4 or 5 weeks in before knowing about this site... Im glad I found this site... Love the site love from everyone... Feel home :) Anyway lets get started... First off I would love to thank CF Grow with providing a great piece of equipment for this grow... The CF Grow Dimmable CXB3590 X2 is a great piece.. It has 2 Cree CXB3590s in for a totally of 200w of straight power and dimmable for the Beginning stages like now... So far I have the light on 10% 8 inches away and the plants are staying short and stout... Not stretching to reach the light more..(no long stretchy stem).. So I can tell already she's going to have tight nodes for a nice bushy structure :) We are starting with a couple Fast Buds Crystal Meths seeds and they both popped up on 2/3 so that makes them 6 days old now :) Everything is moving right along no problems at all so far so I'm hoping for a good outcome like always... :) They started out with just 1/4 strength cal mag and water and they seemed to love it... Now they are at 183 with a mixture of big bloom, grow big hydro, cal mag, and 3 drops of superthrive... They will be bumped up to the low 300 ppm tomorrow as I feel they can take the nutes right now... Going to try and bump them every other feeding... As I been reading them seem to love the nutes so we are going to give it... Let them be able to eat as much as possible.. Hoping for some colors and big buds FAST ;) Anyway I hope to hear from all of you and hope to get some pointers and tips... As this will still be my 2nd autoflower grow... Happy growing y'all and hope you all have a great week and I will stop by your grows and watch the magic... *RocBudInc

Hey y'all Week 2 was slow but steady... Thus week was the beginning of nute testing the strain and light... Light - 200w Cree CF Grow light dimmable - So far this light has surpassed my expectation and then some...for starting seedling and clones i don't like to use much power and the option to lower and raise power with a turn of a knob is a plus... At it 20% first week and now raised to 30%... By end of week we should be at 40% for faster stages of growth :) Nutrients - This week with nutes is to test how they react to the first couple of doses and with crystal so far they want more and can handle a lot more...so now have doubled doses and with probably go up a tsp of grow big and Super Thrive :) Overall - Always the first 2 weeks are the slowest and is when most problem a seem to happy like over watering or to much nutes from being anticipated for bigger faster plants. Anyway the next week will start the fun... Just waiting for one more bode and the training will begin... Since I don't have much height after light taking up the space... They will be topped and trained for a even canopy for light penetration... So week 3 lets go :) Thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoy the grow!!! Happy growing :) Roc

Hey yall, they are showing sex!!!!! Female!!!! This week was a little interesting... Ran into a problem with watering I think... So i let her dry out good for 2 days and began a high cal mag dose with hydro grow big at 1/8 strength.. She came out of it :) light - light is great we are still under 50% power and everything seems to be ok... once I see her stretchy we will increase a little... going to find a watt meterto see whY we actually pulling... light has a true of 200w so we will see... :) love it tho... was thinking about getting some new reflectors for it because the glass soaks up to 10 to 15% of light but I dunno just what I have read... only way to know is to test :) thank you for stopping by!!! They also got top on the 4th node and seemed to reacted good to it... The bottom branches seemed to start to catch up with top so I think we have success!!! Cf Grow CXB3590 X2 - she is performing beautifully... Only at 45% and I think I found were they seem to like it!!! Won't be touching the power til we start to flower!! :) Thank you for stopping by my grow!!! And look out for my new grow journal coming... Crazy Auto Bubblegum!!! ROC

Hey Everyone :) A little late for the update bit the picture were taking for the 4th week.. We had a big snow storm and had alot of cleaning up to do along with power outages!! Plants - Crystal Meth - #2 It has been a good week!!! The got there LST training and seem to be responding very well to it... and they seem to be throwing more hairs :) so I'm hoping by next update they have some colorful hairs :) I hoping with the topping and LST to get some good size colas off them... one of the meths are already turning purple so I'm happy... both right now are kept at 5 inches and wont be trained no more.. now its just tucking of the leaves defoliation of the fan leaves... Lights - CF Grow Cree CXB3590 X2 - This light so far has surpassed my expectations and I'm enjoying it... I already know it has has enough power for flowering since I only have it on 70% power... 100% wont happen til buds start to form :) Thank you stopping by my grow and hope all have good success with there grows... Roc

×××××Day 42××××× Man what a good week... the smell of these are something different... Don't know how to pin point it yet but she still smells amazing and getting stronger everyday... the PURPLE has finally pushed out and taking over!!! :) The color is taking up the whole bud spots and trichs are even climbing up the stem!!! Can't wait to see these form even more going to be amazing to see :) Nutrients - Not much has changed other then eliminating open sesame... I should have only did one dose before switching to beasties... Don't think she enjoyed the nitrogen to much :( I did also start a small amount of molasses also like I always do :) 1/8 strength on that... she is just exploding with flowers :) hope she plump up now...

×××××Day 49××××× Hey y'all, Crystal Meth is moving right along not as big as I wanted them to get but they smell amazing... I'm not smelling the hazelnut yet but it smells fruity as ever... You would think it was a BlackBerry strain... The slow growth I think was from a couple of things... I dont think she likes to be topped and let if anything ill just top it and see if she likes that... She definitely loves the bites and will take it... The more i give them the more they take...

×××××Day 56××××× Not much new besides adding advance nutrients bug bud coco... Will be switching to advance nutrients next grow:) I need a coco based nutrients to correct all the in balances in the beginning... Even tho I have great success with Fox Farm.. The beginning to any grow is the biggest hurdle... If you have a flawless start the end result is massive... Thank you for stopping by my grow!!!

×××××Day 63××××× The flush begins :) The trichs were starting to turn amber so its molasses and water for a few days and water the rest :) happy to try this strain... Should be a good one...

Crystal Meth - I recommend this strain to anyone ever photo growers... this strain is a great addition to the tent stash jar... its sweet smelly with almost a Bertie smell to it... nice smooth smoke as well... you can definitely tell its more sativa .... I will be doing another grow and continue to grow Crystal its THAT GOOD :) AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT STOPPED BY... THE NEXT GROW WILL BE MORE INDEPTH.... ALOT HAPPENED HEALTH WISE WHILW THIS GROW WAS GOING ON :( THANK YOU AGAIN... ROC
