First week of 3 FastBudz LSD25 Auto’s.
I am growing in a Stealth Box made by StealthBox in Vancouver, Canada.
These boxes are extremely high quality and perfect for having a discreet setup. The unit comes with a built in fan & carbon filter, full spectrum 3000k LED quantum board, trellis hooks, drip tray pan, locking door and a built in timer. They did a wonderful job thinking of everything for this compact little grow environment!
Here is more info on the box if you’d like to learn more about the system.

100% Organic Grow Using Only Certified Organic Nutrients. I am using the entire Advanced Nutrients Organic OIM Line which consists of;
Iguana Juice Grow
Iguana Juice Bloom
Mother Earth Tea
Sensizym Organic
Ancient Earth Organic
Bud Candy Organic
Big Bud Organic
Voodoo
Piranha
I am also using products from Aurora Innovations/Root’s Organic, TnB Naturals & Plant Success.
These products are;
Root’s Organic CalMag
Plant Success Great White Myco
TnB Naturals pH up & down
Potassium Silicate from Buildasoil
Fish Sh!t
The medium I am using for these plants is Fox Farms Ocean Forest & Fox Farms Happy Frog. I mixed these two mediums at equal parts, I then mixed in 20% perlite, I also mixed in 5% General Organics Alaska Humus and I also mixed in around 5% fish manure clay based humus. Two additional items I added to the soil before planting was BigFoot Granular mycorrhizae (3-5tbsp per cubic foot of soil) and GreatWhite mycorrhizae (about 1tbsp per cubic foot of soil). I allowed this mixture to bake in my garage in a closed bin for around a month and a half (garage is around 75°-85° Fahrenheit). The soil was lightly conditioned throughout the month with Fish Sh!t. The soil pH was around 6.5 and the NPK ratio was balanced as well based on a rapid leaf soil test kit.
I grow underground in my basement so the temperatures are consistently at 65° and 50% rh humidity year round. Because humidity is low I use the plastic cup method to maintain 70%+ humidity during the seedling to veg stage. This has proven to be very effective in combating drought like conditions for these babies.
During this stage I only use a spray bottle to water, I have found this prevents over watering and helps keep this right where they need to be for these first couple weeks. Once the seedlings grow and no longer need the plastic cups for humidity I will switch to watering with a can around the perimeter of the pots to encourage root growth.
@FreshCoastOrganics, I’m pretty sure you know that auto flowers only need 6 hours of light per day. They are programmed to veg, flower and harvest by a set time so 2days of darkness is not necessary for auto flowers but do you bro good growing
@Gutismoke102, Could you please elaborate on why? I’ve grown probably 50+ photo strains but now dedicate all of my time to autoflowers and would like to know if there is a specific reason why autoflowers don’t benefit from darkness? Thanks bro! Good to know!
@MrHightimes, I’m trying to get better! But the Filmic pro app is amazing for improving video quality and the cheap clip on lens I got from Amazon does a really good job at making it seem like a real camera! All cost me less than $40 usd!
@FoTwenny, Thank you! I’m guessing that Pheno #2 will be the strongest (she’s the densest and has the most trichomes out of the three). Pheno #1 is definitely the most vibrant, just not as dense or as full of trichs like #2. Pheno #3 probably won’t be too impressive, but out of the three she has the most blueberry/fruit like scent but way less trichomes than the other two.
I will find out soon though! About 85% of the trichomes on #2 are cloudy so she is getting close, the other two need a little longer but these all should be ready in just about a week or two! Thank you for checking in!
@Tweezer,thank you!! I’m a little worried about the big one, she’s getting droopy but I’m still trying my best to determine what’s going on with her. My other girls is starting to go through slight N and K deficiencies so hopefully the bloom feed helps her out. Hopefully she turns out well! Thanks for the encouragement!
listen!!!! i'm learning to make vids and yours are really nice!!! those plants!!!😵
The vids look almost like a matte filter?? is that premiere? or is that just a good recording?
GL on the contest! and the grow is greaT!
@MrHightimes, it’s a pretty damn good lens for the price! I love the macro shots it takes too! Now I just use that for checking my trichomes, it’s way easier than using my microscope! 24fps gives that cinema like footage but if you plan on slowing down the film for any slowmotion shots turn the FPS up because 24fps is awful slowed down 😂
@TheOtherSide, hey brotha! Thanks for the compliment! I’m hoping they swell quite a bit in these next few weeks before Havest but so far I’m happy with their progress. Have a good one man!
