Strong
Plants dried in the pots for 2days then hang for 2weeks at 60-65%rh. Buds were dense in most cases, they ended up being three totally different phenos but over all the smell was strong and taste was sweet. Smoke was very smooth and the high was long last with a more cerebral effect and slight body buzz. There was an energetic but clear high with a bit of hd vision. The grow went well overall but not with out hiccups. 1. I ran into a calmag issues 2. I had a little heat stress 3. I added calcium magnesium nitrate which cause a bit of burn unknowingly 4. My LST was wack and so was my defoliation. My solutions were 1. Epsom salts 2. A cool tube and bigger extractor fan 3. Read and understand what I was putting in my soil 4. Watch and read up of proper LST... PRACTICE My next grow will be a fastbuds run very excited.

Biobizz the flavour savour! Very forgiving I went against the law of growing autos and gave them full feeds and even some extra bio grow had no burn. Taste is great buds were dense and tight also sticky icky ooooweee. Bio buzz really brings out a smell in my plants that's that's some what specific to it.
Used this must of my grow really helped them recover for low humidity and heat stress great product and is s local RSA product made here in Cape Town shipped so over the world.
Lights
Good light can get very hot inline fan for the win.

things are right where they need to be, she is right on track. as far as what to do to make her better, i would say sit back and watch the show, just make sure not to over water during the first 3 weeks as this is where the roots develop into a small subway collect moisture so they grow and stretch. so no worries, your doing a good job

Looks fine to me. You RH could be a bit higher during early veg. At 25c you can sit at 65%RH and the ladies will like it. Could be the reason for the leaves being a bit hard to the touch. Good luck the rest of the way.

Hi Martian_D, first of all, I noticed you already put some top-max from biobizz and that's an error. Top-max is for the flowering time. On the nutrients schedule from Biobizz, flowering time starts at week 3 but it actually just means first week of flowering. You wrote you grow soilless, it looks to me you are using soil no ? if yes, please write what soil you use please. My first though for the way your plant looks like is overwatering, it overall doesn't look healthy and the leaves are "droppy". According to you, they get 1.3 litres of water a day! With the current size of your plant, she definitely can't drink that all. It's a common mistake to overwater at the beginning (I did it too πŸ˜‰). How often do you water the plant and how much each time?

Hi friend, I wouldn’t recommend you to defoliate your plant.I would say for auto flower the less the stress the better.You can still tuck in the fan leaves.You can exposed your lower bud sites by gently press the fan leaves and tucking them underneath the lower bud sites.All you have to do is do it everyday.You can also check in my diary.I didn’t defoliate my autos until week-7.All I do is LST and tucking leaves.Happy growing.. ✌️

Definitely got some droopage going on.. if not watering habits... 35-40cm for some lights may not be enough. heat and humidity seem fine enough in diary. Unless you've changed any other cycle lately. for example, if you increase # of hours of light, this may cause that sort of reaction if it's too much or simply a big change... it would recover from the latter as it acclimates.

Those should take a while before flushing, btw flushing has been debunked, it causes nothing but the starvation of your plants near the end. Probably ready in a week for flush or about 3 for harvest, but it really just depends on the type of high you are looking to get from your buds. Stay lit growmie.

DoDrugs420answered grow question 3 years ago
Can't get an exact date, but i would estimate about 3 weeks to go based on photos for mainly cloudy with some ambers, but it may happen faster, so ask again in a week or 2. Since u're in coco just keep the nutes at the current dose untill you know you only got 1 week to go and stop giving nutes by that point, stick to water only from that point on. Try to find a way to stabilize the camera and get focus on the bud to take a really close up photo and check if the cristals appear more detailed than in the picture in the growdiary, its hard because buds are really complex for a phone's camera but keeping the proper distance with the right zoom can do wonders, altho a macro shot would help out a lot more. You can let them get a lil bit more thristy next time at around week 7, just not dead, but a bit thirsty and it will help the plant produce more cannabinoids, terpenes and oils, and can get you an increase of thc of up to 50%. You can still do it but it would basically be like a trial, so if you do it do in just one and keep the others as a controll group, then check wich is the most potent and more intense version. You can also supplement with uv-B on further grows and it will also increase ur thc, just gotta take it slow or you risk burning the plant and the thc. https://journals.ashs.org/hortsci/view/journals/hortsci/54/5/article-p964.xml (published by american society for horticultural science) Stay lit growmie, them beauties are looking perfect, and getting even more ready by the day. πŸ˜€

@Frenchie @DoDrugs420 and @GMSgrows I tried sending a DMs but not sure whats up does seem to be adding to my chat. So basically I am following a schedule based on Duckcommaders feeding chart for auto flowers using biobizz hence the use of the top max. The medium I am using is a coco-coir mix based on the description growdairies uses for soiless coco fell under it. I am from South Africa so there are not many choices regarding soil. I am using a Coco Coir, Worm Castings, Perlite (30%), Volcanic Rock Dust, Bone meal, Gypsum, Fermented probiotic bran mixture. Watering wise I water twice a week @1.3L per watering at a time (works out to 370ml per day) and wait for the soil to dry out to about my first knuckle, when I water there is no run off but the bottom of the fabric pot feel slighly damp to the touch. The pics you are seeing are taken with the lights off, I run them during the night to reduce heat problems RSA can get very hot and it is summer time this side. When the lights are on they are not droopy, also I am tucking my fan leaves. The plants are about 25cm long, I have noticed that the roots have grown all the way to the bottom of the fabric pots, they are a firm, thick and healthy looking white root, looks like the first tap root when germinating a seed maybe a bit thicker. I ph between 6.1 -6.5 and calibrate my pen before every watering, my water also bubbles for 2 days before I use it. I did have an issue with high temps and low humidity 31C and under 40%rH before I installed the cooltube. @Frenchie @DoDrugs420 and @GMSgrows please could you guys send me a dm if its not to much to askπŸ™ and HIGHly appreciate your help thus far.

@Martian_D, good decision, u may even notice how plants sweat some unprocessed chem nutes thru the leafs wich then dry out there and stick there for ever, giving for a really harsh smoking experience, its nearly unnoticiable in low dosages, but once u go over the limit you can clearly see how they act on the plant as you start noticing a clear shine of micro dots. Wich extra nutes are speaking off? Regarding your nute plan, looks good, just make sure u keep the top max out of the equation untill ur into 3rd week of flower, of mid of 2nd week of flower, when i use flower boosters i use them in really small proportions. Remember autoflowers require less nutrients than photodependent strains. Think of nutes as steroids for plants, u don't want to start off with a huge dose, u don't want to use too much overall, and giving too little nutrient dosages is better than giving too much. If u give too much u might overdose the plant, and you will have to run some plain water waterings inbetween feedings, but if you give it lower dosages you can sort of climb up slowly and once you find the sweet spot you just need to maintain it and choose to give just water or not depending on how she reacted to the last feeding.

So I decided to take a day time pic as it was confusing to some, thinking that the plants were to droopy. I took a pic of Day 26 the lights were on for about 30mins before the photoshoot. I also reduced my watering amount, dropped my pH to 5.9, began feeding CalMag, redid my LST and tucked away shading fan leaves the plants look much happier than on day 23.

Next grow u might want to give a go at 9 pots of 11l/15l volume, up to 33x33 cm will fit perfectly, if its a little less its also cool, you can then add some tupperwares or something to create more space near the walls of the tent. If ur confident that they won't grow too much you might aswell go for 16 pots of 10l up to 25x25 cm so you get the training with multiple plants giving u more experience and you improve yields by A LOT. You can apply training techniques like topping, fimming, lst, hst and having multiple plants will help you se the difference, usually people dont supercrop auto's but check early weeks of "six shooter" if u wanna see a autoflower getting double suppercrop, pretty detailed description in week 4, ended up giving her away because after noticing the output of katana roots thru the leaves i did a early harvest in a branch and notice how harsh the smoke was so i just gave it away for a friend to dry it and smoke it, thus the unfinished diary and the 2 missing branches on the last week before harvest. They're looking good btw. P.s. u might want to drop that RH from 72% to any value between 62.5% and 52.5%, based on ur temps, this just to make sure she gets optimal transpiration for the stage shes at wich by now is late veg.

@DoDrugs420, 100%. This setup will be a constant working progress. Next steps are a EC pen, LED light and a dehumidifier. I have built a humidifier in the past for growing oyster mushrooms so it just needs some minor repairs and it will be good to go. The cooltube and having lights on at night is helping out at keeping the temps below 30C. Here is South Africa we can get up to +35C easy during the summer time and even late spring time

@Martian_D, if the humidity is only set for the night, i wouldnt bother with it, had humidty at 99% levels all the nights thru winter and gettint back at it now as winter sets in, the thing is, during the night they dont do photosyntesys, so they dont transpire, therefor as long as during the day you can get to the needed conditions of RH there should be no mold or fungus type stuff coming onto ur plants, u can just leave a heater on even if at a low level near the inlet during the night to dry the air a lil bit right before it enters the tent. Dehumidifier id a great idea, got one for 50€, went back the next dat and bought a 150€ one, don't regreat it one bit. Dehumidifier or not you can defenitly scale up your grow.
Martian_D
Martian_D
@DoDrugs420, after the lights are on for a while the humidity drops to about 60-50%. That photo was taken roughly 30mins after the lights had gone on and the humidity slowly started coming down into the range that you suggested. Yes that is a great idea my question is would I not run into some high humidity with so many plants? Still have to buy or make a dehumidifier. The plants have just started showing signs of pre-flower. Thanks for the complement hopefully they start filling up the space and I get a nice canopy of bud sites!

@Martian_D, it all depends on how fast they grow out, how big they get and how vigorously they flower. I would have some flower nutes on hand just in case you need them. I myself am not an auto fan as running my lights an extra 6 hours in flower time would cost way to much for this guys pension.

@GMSgrows, thanks for the info. I am planning on doing my next grow using this mix. I will be sticking to autos as they are less forgiving if not done right imo and more challenging, I do not even smoke I just want to grow for the love of it, experience and experimentation. My wife and friends get the buds. I thought of doing them in a solo cup planted directly into the soil so that the have time to grow in a seedling mix and there after as they mature make their way into the nute dense soil, like an intra-transplant of sorts. Do you think that this soil may need additional nutes or amendments? I do not have a ec pen as yet so I am a little blind regarding ec.
GMSgrows
GMSgrows
@Martian_D, Sounds like a good soil with plenty of food for some time. I found using similar product you need to put a plant into that mix after they have developed some roots and starter leaves, otherwise it's to hot for the babies. To hot meaning to much nutes. I always start my babies in nutramix hp because they need fed after the first 3 days of life. After a week or two of being fed at 400 ppm 0.8 ec I would then transplant the babies to their new home., if I didnt choose to grow them out in the nutramix. Growing in nutramix is a form of hydroponics, very quick turn over compared to soil growing. Cheers

Looking great. One thing i will say is it's not a good idea to add PH up and down together so it's best to get it right to start with. An easy way to do it if you're making up small batches is to add a few drops of up or down to 1lt of water, and use that water to adjust your PH levels so that you're using a dilute version of up or down. Hope this helps
Martian_D
Martian_D
@HighFromHome, that is actually a great idea. Geez I never thought of a diluted version of the pH down! Shot a lot for that one. I also read that I should give the pH + or - 10 to 15mins to do their thing before checking the pH levels.
