Hello, dear growers!
Today I’ll begin the diary about the growing of an auto flower Grapefruit'matic by FastBuds. I’ll try to publish more detailed reports about the life cycle of this plant. I’m waiting for your support and advice 😉. So, let’s start.
You can read about the box in my previous diaries, it didn’t change it greatly since that time. It’s the same box with a few vents.
The most important thing to know is the lightning: I’ll use two different lamps, one is for vega 400W MH 6000 and the other is for blossom sodium lamp 400 Sunmaster Dual Spectrum. That’s all.
The 4th day:
Hello!
I replanted them in three days into their permanent residence. In the evening I could see a little sprout. Right now the pot with the plant is in the box under the MH 400 (6000k), the lightning scheme 18/6. Watering with a spray with pure water.
Seeds are watered in a glass with pure water and added a little hydrogen peroxide. Then it will be replanted into the pot with the soil (mixture of Guanokalong Mix 70% and perlite-vermiculite 30%) on the depth of 2-3cm.
Hello!
Only 8 days passed away, and the growth is record-setting. Once more I see that MH at the vegetation is wonderful. Watering has changed: 150-200ml around the bush with a solution of liquid Cornevin (with vitamins of group B) and water in proportion 2ml per a liter of water. In the evening I spray it with pure water.
Hello, comrades!
Sometimes I doubt that I’m looking at a two weeks old plant. Geneticists from FustBuds and my MH 400 did the right job – they created the plant that you can see on the photo above. Of course, I took part, too. 😁 I was watering it carefully. I hope it will repay the hundred fold. So we should come back to reality and watch the growth of the speedy pineapple 👍
Hello!
As I wrote in the previous posts of the diary, the sodium lamp would replace MGL. So this day has come, I replaced the lamp, and it affected the photo I think 😯 I think the reason is the strength of lightning, however the power of the lamp is the same – 400W. Flowering needs more light. 😉 As for the fertilizers, I’ve used them two times already – a compote made of FloraDuo Grow, FloraMicro and FloraDuo Bloom. So far, so good.
Hello people!
I haven’t posted reports for a long time, but I had some serious reasons. I work a lot, and it’s pretty difficult to find time for this hobby among eating, sleeping and smoking 😊 (one should relax sometimes to get rid of the stress). Let’s get to business.
This week the grapefruit was growing, but not so quickly as during the previous week – it was like mushrooms after the rain 😊 Last week brought a lot of leaves, so the lower branches are shadowed now. So I decided to cut off the one fifth of the leaves. It took two days for the plant to recover, it drank only 0,5l per day, but then it started growing and drinking 1l a day.
Hello!
This week it ceased growing, it even didn’t become 2 cm higher. There is the trouble with the leaves – they got more yellow, it shows the lack of nitro. So I decided to make one more course of nitro fertilizers. Further I will look at the reaction, but I think, it will be the last one. On Saturday I gave it Delta 5ml per I liter of water in the soil.
Hello!
New leaves are green, and the old, which were already yellow, stayed the same. The plant looks quite healthy, the cones are getting bigger. I watered it every other day with a liter of water, it drinks well. Today I will give it Flora Clean, then I’ll leave it for three days and start to feed it with Ripen.
Hello, people!
I have the first serious troubles. Today in the morning befor the watering I’ve noticed a mold on the central cola of the plant 😕 The side with the mold is 100% mine. On Saturday I watered it with Flora Clean, 5-6l. Ppm became 1100. I made it in the evening, and I didn’t turn on the vents for blowing, so the humidity rose. This is the reason of mold.
One shouldn’t do heavy watering in the peak stage of the flowering. It’s better to water in the morning, not too much. And at night you shouldn’t turn off the blowing.
Immediately I ordered Phytosporin, 2.5ml per liter. I leave the vents on for the night. To decrease the humidity level I’ve put six bottles with salt inside the box. Maybe it’s stupid, but salt is very hydroscopic, and it absorbs moisture well. Our grannies put salt between the window frames so they wouldn’t weep in winter.
I had to cut off the half of the cola. 70% of it was molded. I threw it away. The rest of it I put on the throttle to dry, in the evening I’ll taste it.
The end of week:
I haven’t noticed any other mold. I poured Flora clean two days ago. I wrote that it’s not recommended to do it in the flowering stage – the plant got molded. I had to cut the central cola. On Wednesday I watered all of them with Phytosporin M (2.5ml per liter). I don’t turn off the blowing at night. If it comes again, I’ll cut it again, but I hope for the best. On Thursday I’ve poured the soil with Cannabiogen Delta 9 5ml per liter.
Hello, growdiaries!
I haven’t noticed any other mold. 🙏 In the morning I pour with 1 liter alternating with ripen every other day. I don’t moisture the soil too much, as I’m afraid of the mold, but I hope to solve this problem. Although the mold damaged the plant, the bush is one of the biggest I’ve ever grown in this box 😉
Hello!
I haven’t noticed any other mold. I think it’s an effect of Phytosporin 🙏 In a few days the grapefruit will be cut off and dried. The last photo of the plant in the pot, in its common habitat.
As for it’s strength, it’s above the average. At first you are covered with sative wave. Very social, you become very communicative. A crazy flow of thoughts that are so weird that you surprise yourself and the others. So, it makes you become active, cheerful and communicative. In an hour you become a turkey. You body is so relaxed, you want to eat and to sleep. I didn’t notice a big hunger after Fast Buds, by the way.
I liked the grapefruit the most.
