Big Bud Auto

11-07-20 started day 1 Pictures are of day 7. I am very interested in how this strain will turn out. I bought 25 seeds and only have room for 24 however 6 unfortunately didn’t work. This will be the last of any autos that I grow I am moving onto photoperiods after this Day 8 I have started rhizotonic and small doses of cal mag. Approx 0.3ml per L. I will attach those next week

Doubled in height compared to last week. Fed Rhizotonic every other day in a small dose (1ml per L) and A&B nutrients 1ml per L Otherwise I have just given it ph’d water I will leave these another week or so before planting them in the finishing pot (11.5L) fabric

These are really coming along now, they exploded with growth through the week. I knew that I needed a bigger tent in order to grow all these but it came all at once the plants started to wilt and change colour due to the pots they were in. I needed to change them to final pots but couldn’t without the tent I now have a 2.4 x 2 x 2 and they are in there 11.5L finishing fabric pots I decided to trial various different coco style brands in there final pot and depending on what worked best I will try that in future. I am using in the majority (my favourite) eco thrive petite coco it’s really fluffy and a pleasure to work with. Along with 5x canna coco (coco only) And 5x canna coco with pebbles The plants have been well fed since transplant and although some leaves are noticeably different they are growing nicely and coping well some more than others. I topped all these plants and they have done wonders. Pointless trying to grow a high yielding plant without it. Some people advise some don’t. But there is nothing wrong with these. Stay tuned til next week 👌

Another good week done. Increased feeding to near on 1000ppm Wanted to do things differently with these to try and get the most out of them, so I am and will be feeding every time they are watered where as before I was alternating PH water with feeding every other day. No sign of starting flower yet so could potentially be a long Veg auto or I could be mis sold photoperiod plants. Should know more next week. I have seen some are 5 week veg so not too fussed at the moment. Humidity is high in the tent at the minute and that’s because I forgot to empty the dehumidifier and the damp outside weather was no help either, it tends to stick to 45%-55% See you again next week

This week I was ill and had no updates

I missed last week unfortunately due to a few things going on so there is quite a step up. ****It’s been in flower 9-10 days so far and all bar 3 are flowering nicely please look at the pictures of the plants that just don’t seem to be budding? Are they duds or slow developers? Am I wasting my time or will they start too do you think?**** They are getting tall now and I have had to crank the extraction up a bit. Over the course of next week I am going to put them back into the smaller tents (half in each) with a scrog net to even the canopy out and add support them if they continue to grow taller Whacked the nutrients right up to near on 1500ppm and so far so good this 2nd week of flower they have shot up. Watering 5-600ml per 24 hours but to be honest I am going to up that over the coming days to near 800ml as they are almost drying out before I water again. Perhaps twice daily may come sooner than I think

Coming along nicely has quite a strong smell to it already 😂 Moved to smaller tents as I have mentioned last week for a bit more control The tents are separated into tall plants and smaller plants Cal mag stopped completely I have looked into diaries the have had great success and stop altogether at week 3 of flower The bulk of nutrients is bloom with a little bit of backup. Feeding 1-1.5 litres per pot per day

Really coming along now. Plants are smelling very strong, bear that in mind if growing this strain if it would affect your conditions. Watering has been increased per 24hrs as they are very thirsty. Nutrients ppm around 1500-1600. I will slowly drag this back down over the coming weeks until they move onto water only Fingers crossed for a heavy yield. Some of the plants are very heavily stacked I am interested to see what they end with. I think if I had my time again I would top the tops earlier in vegetation. These autos have worked wonders by topping.

Everything was kept the same this week. If anything I’ve watered more but nutrients have remained the same with the small addition of Calmag again which I used because I felt it needed it although did not plan on using it. However you will notice that prior to using the cal mag the leaves have started to yellow. However I am not flushing it yet. I can only think that it’s decided it’s closing in on it’s life. Technically supposed to be done at 75days so in 12days I can only think that Is the reason. Smelling good and no real issues or threats. I did break a branch by accident though of one of the plants I’ve hung it up and will see what it’s like in a few days

Nutrients completed on majority of the plants some smaller plants will remain being fed until Wednesday before flushing I rearranged the tents ready for drying purposes with 4 plants that were flushing in the dry room. I came gone to find one had collapsed. This is the heaviest plant (I am interested to see what it yields) Because it snapped at the stork I hung it up to dry and will be dry Tuesday 29th this week The rest will be ready after a successful flush. Earlier in my diary I did a test for which coco was the best. I can assure you that coco eco-thrive produced the tallest and most stacked plants Plain coco was the next which produced a medium yield plant of medium height. Last was coco with pebbles. I wanted this to win but believe me it has the worst growth and the least yields for this particular grow. So I would advise buying the eco thrive coco. It is such a good product if you can get your hands on it. It’s a very strong smelling this grow please note this when you start. But to be honest value for money I will definately grow this again. (Under $2.00 per seed This will probably be the last post before the chop. Stay tuned 05-07-20 30-09-20
