Day 56 Flowering: This week has been a great week to understand the difference between strains. now close to finishing , it is clear to see how different the bids can look to each other dependant on lineages too.
Six shooter has really surprised me with her rapid gains in bud girth. She has seemed to be a lot smaller and somehow stunted for most of the grow. This week has changed her completely, even down to her lower buds which also look a lot thicker than a few days ago. with approx 12 days to go, she could be one of the contenders for yield. She is also very frosty looking now with a nice sweet hit to her.
Strawberry Pie is really starting to colour her buds up now and even though they are not joined up colas , each clump looks to be fairly dense and heavy. The buds under direct light at the top look less chunky than the lowers with her too which is a first for me. The light is penerrating lower than I thought due to the structure she has. There are some nice looking lowers just putting new pistils out so she may go a little longer than her 8 weeks stated.
Mexican Airline is my secret favourite this run. Hwr bids are stunning looking spiky ,bursts of colour now and with a little longer to go , I wonder how she will look with even more ripening and fattening out. She is a very tall plant and i will train better for the next time I grow this strain. I have had to support a couple of the limbs now as they want to fall with the weight of the buds . I am on standby with more yoyo's if I need them. lol
These have been a pleasure to grow as expected and I am now popping some Fast buds Cream cookies auto ( x2) to run next. I dont doubt they will be great to grow. be safe and free growmies.
@Ferenc,I am a smoker but do cape some now and then. would like to explore more ways of consumption. 30 years loyal to the joints and bongs. lo
thanks ferenc.

Happy growing #420 โค๏ธ
I predict some frosty nugs โ๏ธ
Amazing grow. I want mine to look more like yours. I have the same light as you. What height/% do you keep it at? I toasted some tips at like 24 inches away from highest point at 75%.
@Shotiie,no par meter needed. toutube the lights and see the par maps that some have done. Mars come up good for their coverage .14 inches above the canopy is the intended measurement. If you get the mains around the same height with l.s.t , by flowering they should roughly be similar heights and grow together so create a flat canopy of bud. if you don't use calmag , then this could be why you have issues too. l.e.d leeches mg from the plant similar to coco so we supplement to keep them balanced .more noticable in flower with rust spots and single leaves being damaged by it.
@Shotiie,in veg i am about 30+ inches above them. seems to keep them happy with no stretchy stems. I have got 10 pots under the sp3000 now , vegging week 3 and the coverage is just about right for them all to get decent par. 5ft X 5ft canopy . Once they hit flower I will add the tsl2000 and drop the lights to around 14 inches. this seems to be ok with no signs of bleaching out or taco leaves in previous grows.
@Darksoul,Thanks Dark. I do like a good fast buds auto and these 3 have had my name on them a while. They do have the Auto grow genetics well defined now and can push some great yields for very little input . have a great day.
