Only been around 4-5 days since planting and so far so good. Drinking plenty of water so expecting a big growth spurt. Can’t wait to see how they turn out.
Growth seems to be steady, one of the GSC girls is a day behind all the rest but only as I planted it a day later than the rest.
Not sure what I think of fem autos yet as I normally only grow feminised seeds. Keeping a close eye on temps, humidity.
Foliar spraying them twice a day or so. Can't wait to see them over the next few weeks.
The Stardawg seems to be slightly ahead GSC with growth rate.
Day 15. Girls are steady but no major growth yet.
Day 19- stardawg girls seem to be just a bit infront in terms of growth rate compared to the GSC. 2 stardawg, 2 Girl Scout cookies in soil. One of each in rockwool cubes which seem to be growing nicely. Just double stacked them today. Used the rockwool along side soil as a little experiment as I’ve had good results in the past. Due to these being autos I’m wondering if they would of all been better in cubes. Time will tell.
Also had one of the Girl Scout cookies showing possible overfeeding but keeping a close eye on all plants and feeds will be just water till I establish what’s caused it.
Any questions feel free to ask!
Start of week 4. Plants are looking healthy showing no deficiencies but if I am honest I've grown much bigger photoperiod plants in this time span. Growing environment is pretty ok too. This is my first 'auto grow' and if I'm honest was expecting these to of grown quiet a bit quicker. If any auto growers can pin point or say what it is they think, if anything at all. Would appreciate it.
One of the GSC girls was put in a day later than the rest just as a heads up. Probably nothing wrong, just not as quick as what I was expecting. Stay Tuned. 😎
Changed light period from 24/0 to 18/6. Raised the light slightly too. Think they benefit from it.
10/04/18 - Day 26
11/04/18 - Day 27 Still no nutrients, but looking at one of the Stardawg girls and I'm seeing a calcium deficiency from the brown spots on the leaves. So might start adding a light nutrient feed the next watering. Not worried as they look super healthy. Can't wait to start my outdoor grow the next couple of weeks. One love growers!
Finishing off week 4 fairly strong. Excited to see whats to come.
Old instagram account got banned due to haters.. Please follow the new one! IG:flavours_uk
As I said in the comments. Growth Seems pretty slow to me for day 23. Might just be me though. Any insight into this would be helpful and appreciated. 😊
You say you give them an equivalent of half a liter per day of water and that you are also feeding them too? That's too early to be feeding, since they are too small and it's too much water, let the pots really dry up before watering again with plain pH'ed water, no nutes and no more than half a liter of water. Also put more distance between the plants and the lights, there's signs of a bit of heat stress (some leaves edges curling up)
Things picking up now. Set up my in tent camera so that I can monitor the grow room and temps from my Phone! Great little gadget! Makes my work a lot easier too. More pictures of the girls shortly.
My instagram had been deleted for no reason exactly, I don't know. So if you could take a moment to follow the new one; flavours_uk Would appreciate it a lot as I post more there than I do here. Thanks and stay tuned!
Biggest Stardawg girl is 25cm tall on Day 29. Also updating on Youtube.
Stardawg now 31cm tall on Day 31, impressive growth.
DAY 32: Done some slight LST and leaf tucking to expose the bud sites to more light for more tops as I can tell pre flowers will soon start to appear.
Not much to say, we officially have take off. Leaf tucking and LST to expose the bud sites, trying not to take anything off if I can help it. These autos don't cope with much, glad I have my photoperiods in there. Can't wait to see some pretty flowers ;)
Day 42- one of the Stardawg girls has had a huge growth spurt. Added in a 400 watt side light to fatten up any lower buds. 660Watt Hps over the top. Considering adding CO2 and investing in another light.. Maybe LED. Thoughts?
-Day 42 Heights:
StarD-73
StarD-35
GSC-39
GSC-35.5 (Day behind other girls.)
Day-43. Girls looking good. Still in the transition. One of the StarD girls has really had a growth spurt. Using next to no nutrients.
02/05/18-Day 48- Very pleased with fast buds, my first AUTO grow and they are taking off a treat, much easier to grow than photoperiods. But then again I treat them similar in terms of just defoliating as normal and LST'ing. Probably a little bit more sensitive to nutrients.
Day 50- All looking quiet good so far, no complaints. Fairly easy grow once you set up your plants training in veg. Only minor defoliation here and there when needed to expose bud sites to the light. Happy with the girls at the moment.
Day 64 (18/05/18) - Impressed with the size of these girls, especially the StarDawg but not really impressed with the stated time from the seed breeder as it was advertised as 8-9 week strains and I can see them easily going another 2 weeks maybe 3 unless they change overnight. One of the girls is over 3ft tall which I can understand she will need more time to fill out etc etc.. I'm a photoperiod grower but thought I'd try out a few autos which in all honesty has been fun just though't they would be a bit quicker. A side from me moaning, they all look really good and i'm certain I'll get some really nice healthy flowers. First auto grow but definitely not new to growing. Always been against autos but they are not that bad, my final decision will come from the finish.. Yield, smoke quality and buds. But all in all, so far so good. Well done from fastbuds
Day 74 (28/05/18) - 2 of the Girl scout cookies are looking very close to being finished and seeing all cloudy trichomes with a couple amber. I look for 80/20% ratio of cloudy/milky to amber trichomes for harvest as this gives the best medicinal effects from my experiences. Flushing the GSC and will be waiting for her to use up the remainder of her nutrients in the leaves before I chop, hopefully get a nice fade. One of the Stardawg girls isn't so far behind but being more sativa dominant, I expected that. May upload one picture of her and how she is getting on. The smell coming from the GSC is so potent and sweet. Hoping the smoke quality lives up to the smell. Not long to go now.
Day 78. Happy with the outcome so far the GSC girls are progressing faster than the stardawg girls, hoping they don't take too much longer as they have run over the advertised date. The girl scout cookies is looking somewhat ready to chop and the other isn't quiet there yet. Trying to flush her for a few days and see if and how she fades, test smoke was good, not harsh at all and slight flavours in there without curing. Will update properly once harvested, dried and cured. Will have to update the stardawg at a later date as she may be going for another week, or possibly 2 at most. Also my test smoke was giving white ash which I'm happy about, always looking to produce the cleanest medicine possible and it shows in the ash! Stay tuned! Harvest is near.
Really impressed with the Girl Scout Cookies. Seed to harvest in 81 Days. Which overall isn’t too bad looking at the quality of buds grown. Very easy and resilient strain to grow. Her smells throughout Flower were amazing, sweet/fruity and citrus smells. Really pungent. Had a test smoke before curing after only drying and well! Wow. Clean, smooth white ash burn and a sweet/mint inhale and a earthy like taste on exhale. Buds are very frosty. Had a nice euphoric high and a nice body stone if you had one toke too many. Still waiting to harvest another and will update this when dry.
Update: Second GSC. Plant got the chop at day 88.
High 8/10
Visual appearance of Bud 8/10
Smell 8/10
Would grow this strain again as it’s quickly becoming a favourite. Well done fastbuds.000
