Good growing week under new LED set up. Getting used to it and neglected to adjust lamp distance which should have been closer to 50cm in this growing v 60 during seedling phase. As a consequence one of the GC was reaching. Going to want to keep an eye after such a drop closer.
So curious to see the way autos develop and particularly two strains at the same time.
Lucky me during the cursed pandemic to have this to do!
Topping and LST to get them in solid shape with numerous strong branches before flower I imagine this next week or so. A few strategic fan leaves removed though it felt abusive since they’re still so young!
It’s interesting to see the difference between the 3 Gorilla Cookies filling outward and the 2 Blue Dreams remaining rather squat and bushy. All growing more or less at same horizontal level.
I suppose I’d put the trellis up once a clear sign of flower as they’re still way too short anyway.
Grow nutrients, really modest dosing, once this week and pH adjusted watering in between.
Temp around 28-29 and humidity stable having to keep the exhaust on to maintain mid 50s in that basement. Otherwise it’s 99!
In short a great week of slow and steady growing into its flowering shape.
Thanks for reading. Open to any and all feedback.
Hi experts. Use of space - new tent (4′x4′) under 450W and germinated 13 auto seeds, my lucky 13, in 11L pots. New to autos. Now looking at it, i think it’s going to get too crowded in there. I can scrog to keep some control. Should I keep all 13? Thanks, experts!
I have 3 autos in my 4x4 and there's no space. You'll have a full canopy already so there's nothing to scrog really. I would just lollipop, hard. You're gonna end up with more of a sog canopy. With photos, you could've just flipped when they were all 5", but in this case they'll bloom whenever they want.
Personally, I would cut it down to 9 plants at the most. It'll save you a lot of headaches and you're still going to get the same yield in the end. Best of luck my friend!!
Brother.
These fast Buds are done by week 10 or 11 the most. 13 weeks is way to long.
These are autos not photos.
I made that mistake my first fastbuds grow.
10 weeks from seed and done
@SickBoyOG420, hello brother. This is really critical info. For all my reading could it be that these are on the way to finishing up?
Thanks a ton. Looking into their state of flowering now. You get a follow. Happy growing!!!
Great looking grow my friend! I had the exact same issue with my gorilla cookies. The leaves all turned yellow VERY early. But, I still managed to push her to the ripening stage although I was very nervous with next to no fan leaves left. Still, the buds ended up green and smelled fanfuckingtastic!
@ChuckShady,same for me in the end. I think it’s about fertilizing too early. They don’t really need anything in early weeks. Glad you got great results too!!
hmmm you are doing ph water between feeds? i've been feeding every time which is every other day. I had amazing sucess with this last grow but its interesting to see you are doing it only once a week!
@MrHightimes,thanks. I really question whether nutrients are needed in the first three weeks. The soil is already hot. But yours are doing more than fine!
Nice Journal! Having just got through a similar grow that yellowed early and stressed me out only to come out ok was fun to read! Was also fun to see your grow b/c I have GCs growing now!!!! I did a 1gal grow and while it was a nice yeild seeing how much more i got off 2 gals, I'm now trying 3gal! Will you be growing in bigger pots next?
@MrHightimes,thanks a ton. Just saw your grow and it’s looking great. I get the impression that 3 gals is ideal. I’m trying some photosensitive Blue Dream now in a 5 gallon with some more autoflower seeds on the way from Fastbuds.
@Fast_Buds, so far so good! Looking pretty damn big for 3 weeks! Curious to know when they’ll kick into flower, guessing another week from reading online.
Great start👍
I use solo cups as well , but I use two, cut the bottom off one cup
and make a cut from top to bottom of the same cup, then put the cup with the slice and no bottom into
a untouched cup and fill with soil. When the time comes to transplant, remove outer cup, place inner cup in the hole of your bigger container
and remove, the plant doesn't even know it was transplanted.
Hope this helps👊
Grow Big!!
YAY! I'm so happy you are doing these with GH, it was nice to compare your charts to mine. I'm growing my first time in ammended soil and am trying to gauge when and how much to kick off my 3part GH! Good work Bro!!!!!
