ZionSugar_ZA First time growing autos.... let's see what becomes of it.

ZionSugar_ZA Started to put a few more to get a stunted harvest.. Goin to begin LST soon..

ZionSugar_ZA Decent growth so far. Not sure how to feed em. Just winging it by what the ladies tell me...✌️

ZionSugar_ZA 1 of the girls looks to be stretching a lil bit now. Let's hope she stetches and packs on...

ZionSugar_ZA So 1 of the little ladies grew a leaf after the first node. So I topped her. She's the first ever auto that I topped on purpose. All in all everything is good. The stretch is on and they're filling up. She's getting much bigger than I initially imagined, so that's a good sign. I'm sure this week, she'll start to pack on some nice buds....

ZionSugar_ZA Switched up the nutrients. Love the organic bud taste.. So now that they're flowering it's time to focus on the buds. Terp production is crazy under this hlg 100 v2 4000k. Yes people 4000k. Opted for the 4000k for terp production and just introduced a 7 watt led red globe. Seems to be fine. You let me know. Okay so terps smell like citrus abit. Smells lovely, terps are covering normal fan leaves like mad. I love it. 2 girls would've been sufficient for this 5 square meter space. Just got to count and wait down days now. I want to defoliate abit here and even in my blue dream tent which is currently growing, but I wont over do it, barely noticing a difference. They're autos and both are first runs with autos so I don't wish to harm the yields. Happy growing 👊

ZionSugar_ZA The robust sweet and sour citrus smells are clearly evident in this cupboard grow. She's filling on nicely, very very heavy with trichome production. At this stage the flowers look like little baby buds. Now they're gonna fatten up and grow. I've increased the ppm to 950 this week. Just to help her focus on bud development. Last thing I want is skimpy, thin buds. Although she's an Indica, I'd prefer her on the fatter, tighter side of life....😉😊

ZionSugar_ZA These girls are super frosty. Like crazy terp production. The change of season has brought higher temps throughout all the grows. But here I'm mainly concerned by the humidy spike in the morning where they come to 65% humidity and then drops to about 45% in a couple of hours. So I'm abit worried cause this cupboard has so much trees....😂.... I wonder who's fault that is....🤔🤣 All in all I believe it'll be okay. The flowers could fatten up at a faster rate, I'm abit eager to to smoke her.....😔 I love gas terps and I smell a few notes coming through now at the end of the citrus notes. Absolutely exciting..... She's moving abit slow with regards to fattening up although she's drinking 4.5litres every 2 to 3 days. Not sure what's going on.... So we'll just continue and give her time.... Generally time answers all with regards to buds and sizes...🙂 Remember Sun is warm, grass is green... it's a good day.. Jah bless...🙏

ZionSugar_ZA So I woke up 1 morning and I had some heat burn on 1 of the ladies. All the time noticing 2 of them finishing. So I flushed 1 and the other will get the first flush tomorrow. She's a week behind the other lady. Couple of days to flush and then the first 1 and then 2nd will get chopped. Less is more, I've learnt now with Fastbuds and how their genetics and trees grow. From this and my blue dream grow I figure enough I need to know for the of my grows. The chop will be soon so it's just water for now and then the other too are getting their normal 950ppm. Tap water ph'd to 6.0 for flushing and it's at 110ppm. Very strong smells of dank sweet and sour citrus and bit of background gas smells. Hope the gas comes out now with flushing and the curing.... Stay lit everyone...🙏

ZionSugar_ZA So 2 girls got the chop and they're drying... will release update of figures soon. I'll post the entire harvest at the end of the grow. Current wet weight of the 2 hanging ladies is 320grams. Very loose buds and they didn't swell and fill up to what I'm used to seeing. Not sure if it was me or genetics. But the other lady currently in flower is fattening up quiet nicely. She's got some leaf burns due to me forgetting to switch on the fan for 3 days last week and the light has always been at a stronger level due to it's height level being lower than the recommended height....😂 Happy growing...✌️

ZionSugar_ZA So the lady that was topped is in flower now... She's not making me happy at all, the size of her budlets, indicate the type of buds that will be formed and I'm into that kinda bullshit..... She'll be cut and thrown away once I harvest the last of the Westcoast OG's. Got 2 ladies trimmed up and in jars..... Decent weight of 65grams.... they're busy curing up now... I did sample some and there's some lovely pine flavour coming through.... Could've flushed abit harder, but by no means is it a problem or a bad smoke. Chlorophyll will break down during the cure and will ensure a smooth, decent smoke soon enough... The last lady will come down in about a week and half at most.. Gonna get some florakleen and test it out before using it on my photo tent currently running.... Happy growing everyone.....👊

ZionSugar_ZA First time growing autos... Not the worst but could have been better... Shit myself in the foot by adding too many trees.. less is more and allows more room to help the current plant space to develop. All in all it was a decent run, the buds are phenomenal... Great quality and flavours... very strong Pine, citrus flavors on the inhale and woody exhale... strong smoke.. The trees didn't pack on nicely, had they done so it could've easily become a 9 star tree.... Good luck if you consider growing her.... she's not the strongest indica out there but very strong nonetheless...👍
