As you can see the yellowing of last week hardly got any better. I was happy to see some new green growth even on the barest GCs, much worse off than the BDs. I had given them a modest nutrient wash at the beginning of the week and topped up the pots with a little soil to give the roots some space.
The conditions of the leaves is pretty shocking as I was careful in every step. It’s a first time with autos so wondering how much is typical. I remain convinced the pots are too small and constraining for these strains.
I’m now going to approach it with only pH adjusted watering from now on letting them really dry out between watering (that’s the case here in these pictures this morning).
I got a dehumidifier as it would not come down below 60 for the last two weeks.
Now it’s at 40 and staying there. Temp is 25-26 day/19-20 night but an early cold snap just hit so something to monitor.
All that to say I don’t know what’s going to restore the green of these fabulous five. I feel like do thing in the new tent set up/LEDs is off. I haven’t found a good setting on the exhaust fan.
Nonetheless the flowers are developing at lightening speed despite it all and that’s really remarkable to watch. The smell is so strong and sweet. The GC and BD are sufficiently different to be really interesting to observe and compare. Let’s hope they make it through colder temps for a couple of days with fewer fan leaves and a bit too much yellow for my comfort.
Thank you for reading after this fourth week of flower!
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!!!!!
