LemonPie+LSD-25 FastBuds[4]

In this grow we will do 2 plants together - Lemon Pie by FastBuds and the second seed, which I've got from FastBuds as a bonus is LSD-25)), i think these strains both are very cool and strong, many growers successfully harvested great crops of them already, so I am looking forward to begin this journey) On the first week we will do everything as usual with the seeds in order for them to grow without any major stresses) watering with pure water ph6.5, humidity is pretty low at my box so i will turn on humidifier for my little seedlings)

Bad luck never leaves me alone again))) This time at the moment of fixing the main stem of Lemon Pie - I broke the upper part( So, I will have to wait again for leaves to come out and only then will do everything as I usually do) LSD-25 feels good and healthy, I start to defoliate it and to make some LST. Everything goes successfully compared to Lemon Pie.

Soooooo, Lemon Pie from Fast Buds rehablilitates me by its great genetics))) it almost recovered the grow because of my terrible mistake with breaking the stem at the very beginning and now I see even better perspective for this plant after all happened! this time I will try to be more careful and accurate with my tender green friend) LSD-25 still grows by the plan without any additional negative issues, so let it grow on))) Watering goes like - one day pure water(ph6.5)+DiamondNectar, next day - feeding solution. not much, half of the portion.

This week will be just a regular vegging, just a bit of LST and defoliation. Waiting for LemonPie to fully recover its growth, everything goes alright with it at the time. Nutrients are 1/2 of the manufacturer dose. Nothing special to report, will upload more pictures, for grow changes to be clearly seen)

Being recovered after successful Topping, our LSD-25 started to bloom, we changed the nutrients list for blooming and awaiting for Lemon Pie to get the best its form to start also blooming) From now on we have problem with LSD-35 after torturing defoliation. So the plant has deficiency or even deficiencies after that, so now we will try to solve all these problems to recover fully a great strain plant. Lemon Pie was topped but easily recovered again and showed blooming)) now let it bloom without any hard stresses.

Lsd-25 still at high stress showing deficiencies and possibly nutrients' blocking after too much of defoliation done at the start of flowering. therefore until i find a better solution to the problem it is better to just water with pure water this plant and if it will not get better by itself, will do reanimation procedure then))) so lets wait. Lemon Pie started to flowering after all))) It is also suffered a lot in the beginning and now let it just grow with normal treatments of nutrients, which means for me around 600ppm at feeding.

Here is the next week for our two much suffered plants))) This time we will water them lightly, nutritionsdoses also very small to give the plants more time for recovery during flowering. so we will just see what deficiencis would show LSD-25. Lemon pie goes well, so we will experiment more with nutritions to that)))

Here we get to the week 8. Lemon Pie isdoing well and LSD-25 is still suffering some deficiences. I am not planning to do something radical to increase anything. lets save the plant to harvest))))they already suffered a lot. At the moment LSD-25 still have defficiencies, but partly recovered, anyway the damage was huge(remember i did almost schwazzing to this autoperiod plant at the beginning of flowering. so i do not recommend of doing such defoliations at the starting flowering stage in future to anybody. it was an accident for me, i was stoned a bit;) and could not stop myself of doing the complete defoliation to the very end) anyway we have what we have and I am still trying to fix that problem, but have a limited success)))) Trichomes are doing well by the way here and we will save this development until the harvest. Lemon Pie is doing well, trichomes develop perfectly, smells well, I like this strain a lot because after suffering all what happened at the beginning it came to a flowering the way it should and fully recovered from stress, it is a top survival strain for me)). It gave me a space for doing mistakes as a newbie, very easy to treat it if you do it right.

This week beging with a trouble of overdosing of all my flowering garden with wrong measures of nutrients what led to a heavy nutrient burn. But Lemon Pie suffered less then all the other)) what a great example of stamina! I will flush it with water and will not use any nutrients until the harvest because i think it is too risky for now. LSD-25 as usual doing feels not good)) Heavy nutrient burn was added to previous burns and a 1 liter run-off showed 1800 ppm. So, i will, also as with all my flowering plants in the tent, water flush it hoping that everithing would get better soon) it is 3 or smth weeks left until the end, i have to be patient and more careful. This situation kind of a pure experience for a beginner grower like me and i am already resolving the problems appeared)))

The 10th week we begin from changing the nutrient. Now we will use GHEs MaxiBloom powder, nothing to do - just add water)) So we will see what results bring this late change whithout any additional stimulators. Still fixing old problems with deficiencies of LSD-25. 2.12 Finishing 10th week we see that deficiencies are getting worse it mb depends on the time that comes to an end for the plant. yellow fan leaves, dry their ends etc., Inside the bush there are still green and completely healthy little colas without all those problems - this surprised me)). Thrichomas under microscope look not ready - most of them transparent, but there are some slightly amber trichomas appeared on the colas' leaves.

12/5 Sooooo, everything is coming to its end)) As I just noticed today trichomas on lemon pie became milky very fast and there also some amber ones revealed, therefore we have to be on alert to cut it on time) we finished feeding it and awaiting for trichomas on all the other colas to get milky. then will flush it(never done that before) LSD-25 doing almost the same but trichomas still not so milky as on Lemon Pie, have to wait here a bit longer to get what we want)))I willuse Ripen, i think its the right time for it) 12/8 Lemon Pie is ready. Under microscope most of the trichomas are cloudy and about 20% are quite amber. its ready to go for 3 days of darkness and it goes. After these three days we will harvest it. LSD-25 is not so ready as Lemon Pie, it seems that it is left a couple of days. 12/10 LSD-25 became ready for harvest and gone to three days of darkness accompanying Pemon Pie the last time.

From the very beginning, when I was doing LST, I broke the main stem( and decided for the plant to start grow again from the side branches. The plant developed very good showing extreme will to life and it brought fruit anyway))

FInally LSD-25 in my grow comes to the end) I think that I could do better next time, but here were some problems which I could not resolve at the time, especially problems with bad quality water, nutrients' overdose, light and heat burns. all newbie school tasks as they are))) Unfortunately, because of experimenting too much I got not so many kilos on the scales, but the experience received on this grow is very precious)) Conclusions: 1. Never use cloth pots for autos, because it is inconvenient to perform LST and other training techniques; also watering has the problem of hard access, stucking with LST ropes etc. 2. Using mineral nutrients together with organic is pretty wrong in my case, overdose was hard to fight here. it slows development strongly.. So I'd better use simplier scheme for nutrients at least for now. when I be a more experienced botanic I will make their range wider depending on the results needed. 3. All the AIR-pots have to have additional drainage system, because the soil stucks between holes in the bottom of the AIR-pot 4. Using topping(main cola I mean) training techniques with autoflowers is wrong. main cola has to be present in any case. Mainlining is impossible here to get more mains, because lack of time for their development. that's it. 5. Water. My water that I use for many purposes including plant watering became sh...t. Now it goes around 650 ppm with ph 8,5. I am switching to my well known guy who deals with water for Cafes and restaurants, his sample was 50-70 ppm with 7,5 ph. sounds perfect to me)) That should also improve my harvest next time I hope) For first tries with FB autos I think we have pretty decent results))) I like all strains we did, they are very strong and beautiful, very easy to grow, I am planning to make some kind of tribute to these cool strains of FastBuds that I screwed up: Blackberry, Gorilla Cookies, LSD-25 and Lemon Pie. I know they can do a very different resuls and I am going to grow them again some time to have with them better yields)) Blackberry I like the best, really impressive) Now we are rebuilding a Bloomroom 9x12 for plants instead of self-constructed grow tent 3x3+wooden box 2x4. There will be more space for more plants, heating and ventilation will be easier to control there also. This time will be photoperiods on the run))
