Kalashnikov Seeds: Babushka Black Auto

Started my lst yesterday, happy with the grow so far first auto looking good!

Really pleased with the progress and how things are going! No problems at all, super easy grow so far. Been doing some leaf tucking to have more light penetration.

Another solid week day 28 no problems have been using lst on the plant it has had no problems with it. Has a really nice silvery stem with a very sweet smell after handling! Being a first auto grower I was wondering if anyone had advice on defoliating? There a some fan leaves that aren’t gaining any light, should I cut these? Advice appreciated!

Growing really well LST has work super! Nothing to report about, going wrong! Flowers have been coming through since about 3-4 days ago I last week I did some defoliation and plant responded well! Upped my nutrients too CX which has worked with a boom massive noticeable growth, and have used for 1 week! My feed schedule is feed every 2-3 days. And water solution on the days without feed. Plant has been super easy still no signs of deficiencies highly recommend! Fingers crossed for a big yield and easy flowering! I will introduce the bloom nutrients in a few days! Happy growing

Pretty pumped with the canopy! Another good week to report, I have been very careful not to use to much nutrience being my first notable strain I’m growing. I’m constantly seeing growth, (or maybe I’m a proud parent!) I will keep the lst to a minimum now Just redo the current ones to hold the stems in place. But hoping for a big stretch this week! I will defoliate again next week or at the end of her stretch. Temp ran hot a couple of times this week for no more that 30mins as my house is a hotbox excuse the pun! Any tips get at me super keen to improve my grows and give you guys better viewing! Happy growing!

Week 7 was a smooth week, I upped the dose of nutrients slightly and dropped out the vege feed completely. Plant grew 4cm in 4 days with the way I’m training i feel it’s a big jump! Nutrients seem to be working well nothing to report. Was slightly concerned mid week when I saw fungus gnats, luckily I dealt to them quickly and found the source of them was actually a planter with chillies growing in them outside the tent so removed it from the room and they are gone! I have treated soil with diatomaceous earth. Buds are slowly showing a purple colour, the plant definitely doesn’t smell yet but it is starting to get an odour as trichomes build up. I have been correctly measuring ph of the water and soil both in the range of 6.5-6.8 Will take some photos of week 8 and post them start of week 9! Happy growing! Any tips I would love to expand my knowledge!

Another smooth week! Lowered nitrogen as suggested, and purple is coming through more prominently! Using shooting powder lightly in nutrient mix and every couple of days I will give it a full dose and drop down my other nutrients, seems to be responding well no problems as of now! Happy Growing

Another good week been feeding every second day! Leaves are beginning to start discolouring Smell is noticeable in the room Pistils changing colour and hoping to see some more purple coming on my leaves!

Few days late but start of week 11 nice autumn colours coming through. I will feed for a few more days then move to flushing, I have spotted a few amber trichomes not a lot so want to try harvest with 20-30% amber. Leaves that originally were discoloured have either fallen or now turning purple. Happy growing!

Another good week! Aggressive final week feed and no signs of stress. Moved to my first week of flushing. Purple seems to be coming through slowly hoping to see some more autumn colours now moving into flush. Buds are fattening all the time. Looks very promising! Happy growing!
