***** Week 5 December 12 to 19, 2020 - Days 29 to 35 from germination *****
Going to call this a veg week at the start. Will see how she progresses in the next two days if we change it to a flower week. She is transitioning but not knowing this strain, she may take a full week to do or may only be a couple of days and she popping hairs everywhere๐ She will tell us......just be patient and watch๐ณ Either way i expect her to take off in growth over the next 14 days and should be fun to watch based on other diaries. She has a great canopy at the start of the week and her branches have grown laterally very well.........giving her the width to open up and let more light down the middle in the weeks ahead๐
She has reacted very well to LST and her side branches have shot up! Noticed at watering today that her main stem is getting a good girth on her already as well.........reminds me of my Zkittelz which was another Fast Buds awesome run!!!! She is set up to do very well in the days ahead. Leaf colour is spot on and we have stoped veg nutrients already.
This week we will be stepping up the watering I can tell and likely move to daily watering by the end of the week.......again, if the pots heavy - donโt water - let the roots breath baby๐ Will be slowly working up the light intensity in the days ahead as well.....might be next week though. She has not been to excited about extra light intensity and had to keep it calm and under 20,000 because going over that caused her to react. If she is drooping, then back down the power or increase the distance๐
Slow and easy.......slow and easy.......she is happy and we move forward with week 5.......Flower is upon us and she is looking good๐
Little more daily detail.........
Dec 12/20, Day 29
- dry out day
- basically left the auto girls alone today.
- she is forming an even canopy......just caught my today how she is coming together๐
Dec 13/20, Day 30
- 2L watering with MagNifiCal @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml = 100ppm and 5.7pH
- giving her a plain watering but since RO water added some CalMag and their allotment of microbes for the week!!
- adjust LST on the girl again and was able to get further out and keep pulling her down. She letting me get her wide๐
- she is really looking nice today!!
- keep it going girl......she is going to explode with growth this week and next ๐ช๐
Dec 14, Day 31
- her pot was fairly dry in evening.
- 2L feed with Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, Velokelp, Natures Candy @ 1.5ml = 800ppm and 5.8pH
- she has some runoff but didn't check the numbers tonight.
- her leaves were more droopy than expected in the evening so I think she is looking for nutrients today.
Dec 15/20, Day 32
- she is feeding well and the pot is lighter again today.
- 1L RO water with enzymes Komplete @ 2ml = 45ppm and 5.6pH......chose not to adjust it.
- enzymes to help clean up the root zone and timing it flower change and nutrients.
- she is forming buds and have switched this week to a flower week from Veg๐๐
- moved ties further out a couple of branches and pulled a couple down further.
Dec 16/20, Day 33
- dry out day to let the pots get really light.
- want to make sure the pH stays in line so drying out a little more today.
Dec 17/20. Day 34
- 2L watering with RO water and Rhinoskin, Magnifical, Microbial Mass @ 2ml
- 350ppm and 5.8pH.
- pot is lighter today and don't think I should go another day so feeding today.
- she is happy and all her leaves are up and her canopy looks good.
- I did push her nute levels and a lot of tips are burnt but its all good....not to far over๐
Dec 18/20, Day 35
- dry out day for her today as well.
- bringing down the moisture in all of the pots.
- she is going to sleep a little early......
She is a very nice looking girl Fast Buds. I have had other strains from FB that also at this point doing well and showing similar characteristics......those runs all ended very well๐.......hoping the trend continues๐๐
Hi @@ALTINPIPO, they are 12L. I am going to give some 5 gal try once my bags are done. Like air pots, I do miss being able to dump a bunch of water in the top though. You have to take your time with hand watering.
Cheers and have an event free week๐๐ช
Thank you for this massively detailed diary. May I ask a question about your lights? I have been following along and find that you are adjusting the lights each week to find the sweet spot. When you are trying to dial in your lights, what are you looking for to let you know that you are close to perfect? Is it a combination of lowing the wattage and lowering/raising? What is your secret light adjustment sauce? I read in the week 5 that you are looking for the leaves to droop a bit if the light is too intense/close. Thanks so much!
Brilliant mate I am Just about to order for first time off fast buds this gives me the boost a need think I will change from the coco to the nutrients you are using this will be my second time doin it keep it up mate
