Hey fellow growers welcome back for week 7 update of my criticalpurple and pineapple auto grow! So the only real update to the grow operation is an air conditioner install! Which has made a major change in the climate and my girls are very satisfied with their new lifestyle!! Bud production is on the increase! I also installed pot elevators under all my ladies as suggested by Papa_T. To help get some air flow under the pots to prevent root rot. I just installed these tonight so I'll let yall know what I think of them. Here's the link if you wish to purchase them- https://hydropros.com/products/gro-pro-nx-level-pot-elevator?_pos=2&_sid=b71ac87f9&_ss=r. I also had to purchase a new Ph meter because I dropped my old one in the mixing bucket(of course)! So if you read last week it was a all water week. This week I threw the nutrients too them after a deficiency. I was fed up with deficiency problems so I wanted to see what they would take! The girls seem to love the feeding! Also the deficiency is neutralizing. So I've only had the one feeding this week. I will be watering tomorrow. 10/18/21 5ml- calmag 4ml- micro 6ml- bloom 1/4ml ph down Ph 6.35 Solution temp 73.1F 1003 ppm Still alternate feed/Water every four days at 1gal/plant. I'm going off of pot weight mostly but it seems like a gal every 4-5 days and they are happy with it. Critical purple #1- So this lady has turned into a power house! She was slow in veg but quickly has recovered! She is throwing on the bud quick! She is going to be a heavy hitter! To me she seems to be filling out and her aroma is starting to join in with her 2 week ahead flowering sister! She is also my 🌟 of the week for the second week running! Measured 28" tall Critical purple #2- Boy oh boy is this shorty packing some heat! With this being this little ladies 4th week in 🌸 The aroma this lady is throwing out is intoxicating🤤🤤!! She is showing a few amber pistols but tricomes are clear and still developing I'm still thinking about three weeks out. She won't be plucked till ready! I can promise that! Measured 18" tall. Pineapple auto #1- So big week for this lady also as u remember from last week I was pulling the tape off Sunday well I waited until Tuesday 10/12 giving her a whole 9 days and I would like to say my girl is knuckled up👊! She has recovered saving my future bud site. I know this is small for more seasoned growers but for me this is a major stepping stone. Other than that bud production is chugging along. Every day this girl is still filling in her part of the tent. Measured 32" tall. Pineapple auto #2- This lady has been my focus factor this week. She was suffering a nitrogen, magnesium deficiency with some possible light burn also. But she is recovering after some cal-mag. I will prob give her cal- mag every feed/Water till flush from here on out too keep her stable. Even with the deficiency she is still producing bud so no signs of stress at this point. Measured this lady out to be 37" tall. I would like to Thank all the growers for taking time away from your own beauties to read about mine. I really do enjoy my time on here viewing your diaries and learning with you all. I just have a passion for this and wanna do the best I can for my ladies. So if you see any improvements that I can make or suggestions u wanna make, or even just to say hi hit me up! Well till next week Best of luck and Happy Growing!😎🌱💚💪💪

New week starts. __________ 🌞10.05 I've watered my plants with 'Pre-Flowering' GHE nutrient mix and spraiyed them with 'Foliar nutrients'. 🌞11.05 Nothing for today. 🌞12.05 Nothing today. No feeding, no spraying. I'm patiently waiting for the end of a week to make huge defoliation. My babies are big. Too big. 🌞13.05 The same. 🌞14.05 Found few bent up leaf tips. Thinking what it is. Upd: I asked a grow kwestion and got an answer. As a result, I moved my lamps higher. 🌞15.05 The reddish 'rusty' marks shows up between upper leaves veins on 'RG'#2 I suspect sunburn. Asked a new grow question. 🌞16.05 It's definitely Phosphorus deficit combined with high temperature. I've measured income and outcome water and it was normal, so it's not an overfeeding. Watering with 80% 'GHE Tripart' bloom formula with adding 80% of recommended dose of 'Advanced PK' nutrient. Watering: - Ph 6.2, - CE 1.17 Drainage: - Ph 6.25 - CE 1.09 I can't change lamp-to-plant distance, but I can put other lamp in my grow box. I have 50 watt red light grow lamp and I'll change one of my 100W lamps to it tomorrow when the light will shut down. It will be 250W instead of 300W and that should be more comfortable to the flowers, I guess. I grew the mighty 'Critical' with this setup. Sprayed my garden with clean water and that's all for today. ___________ Week ends.

Seems to be going good, idk if I should ad more bloom booster or just use molasses. Also the broken cola I replanted, seems to still be alive but don’t really know what else to do. Just hope I can get these out of some random guys back yard soon.

Plants are all doing well and growing fast. The lights are still a bit strong for these guys so I moved them lights up a bit. Fed with fairly strong veg mix, thena supplement and water only feed once they had dried, and then a strongv eg feed again at the end of the week. The plants are burning through Nitrogen very fast. The canopy is almost completely filled in. Once every hole has a node or two I will begin the flip into preflower. I defoliated heavily to increase the amount of light getting to the center nodes. By two days later the plants had bushed out quite a bit. I think one more week before Flip should suffice. The Maui clone has quite a bit more nodes than the seeds. But the seed plants have much sturdier and healthier looking structures. I am excited to see if any other phenos express themselves. The Maui clone has been a great version in previous grows,

We're moving right along on this grow! Buds are really filling out and they are covered in resin. The smell is of sweet candy and grapes. Can definetly tell she's going to be pungent! Still water every other day or so ph'd 6.8 to 6.5. Completely stopped feeding 2 weeks ago. So going with a 5 week flush before harvest. Again, I went all organic. As you can see the fan leaves are beginning to yellow as well and I went ahead and raised the light just incase they are getting some light burn. Thanks for tuning in🤙

🌱 Start: 17.07. 🌱 Hello everyone! This is my very first grow and I'm thrilled to share every step with you! 🎉 I'd appreciate any tips you might have to help me achieve the best results! 😊 Equipment: I've geared up with an Indoor Grow Kit from MarsHydro along with some BioBizz supplements to ensure my plants get the best care. 🌿 🌼 Seeds: I opted for Fast Buds seeds after hearing great things about them. They were delivered super fast—just two days! I’m particularly excited to test the Grapefruit strain. 🚀 I've begun soaking the seeds and setting up my space. Eagerly awaiting the transition to the next stage in a day or two! 🌱 📅 Update: 19.07. My Grapefruit seeds sprouted 1-2 cm within just 1.5 days! 🌱 It’s often recommended that autoflowers be planted directly into their final home, so I'm following that advice. I'm working on improving the air circulation in my tent to ensure the best environment for growth. 🌬️ I'm currently using 0.2L cups with big holes over the sprouts to maintain higher humidity during their initial two weeks. 💧 🎉 UPDATE 22.07. - THEY ARE ALIVE 🎉 My Grapefruit sprouted on 20.07., and I'm overjoyed to soon share photos and a video of my little green buddy! 📸🎥 PS: My plant enjoys 2 hours of chill jazz music every day! HAHA 🎷🎶

Gracias al equipo de Fast Buds 420 y a MarsHydro por ofrecerme esta gran oportunidad de probar sus nuevas FF y ofrecerme una luz de calidad. La Tropicana Cookies FF (Fastflowering) es la variedad ideal para los principiantes que buscan estirpes que prosperen en exterior e interior y en todo tipo de climas. Se trata de una variedad de alto rendimiento y fácil de cultivar que crece bastante y no deja de mostrar su vigor híbrido, incluso con un mantenimiento mínimo. Espera un efecto potente y duradero que relaje tus músculos y eleve tu estado de ánimo, dándote ese empujón extra que necesitas en una perezosa mañana de lunes. La Tropicana Cookies FF ofrece toda una gama de terpenos cítricos y amaderados, con un potente fondo dulzón que viene de la mano de un 28 % de THC, lo que la convierte en la opción perfecta para quienes tienen una alta tolerancia y buscan hacerse con las variedades más deliciosas y potentes del mercado. Esta variedad cultiva hermosas flores púrpuras con matices a menudo claros, pero predominantemente oscuros, que se ven resaltados por toques de rosa y azul, y pelos de color naranja oscuro esparcidos por todas partes. Los cogollos de Tropicana Cookies FF se desarrollan densos y compactos, con una gruesa capa de resina que les da un aspecto casi esponjoso y muy pocas hojas de azúcar, lo que facilita al máximo tus sesiones de recorte. Al romper los cogollos, se revela una mezcla dulce, casi de caramelo, de peladuras de cítricos y madera de sándalo, que es tan única que hará que todos tus amigos se mueran de envidia. Definitivamente, es la elección correcta para los fabricantes de hachís y los extractores que buscan ese perfil de terp especial. 🚀 🌻 Consigue aquí tus semillas : https://2fast4buds.com/es/seeds/tropicana-cookies-fast-flowering 📆 Semana 1 crecimiento: Relleno las macetas de tierra evitando espigamientos. Aplico tierra de diatomeas para evitar futuras plagas y humus de lombriz para mejorar el sustrato y así también el sabor final de los cogollos. Solo regaré una vez con nutrientes con una EC de 550 y el resto con agua y calmag hasta 350 ppm, al haber aplicado el humus de lombriz y la tierra de diatomeas. Humedad: 70% Temperatura: 30°C

Der Stretch ist zum Stillstand gekommen und die Blütenausbildung ist mit dicken und langen Stigmen in vollem Gange. Der Geruch erinnert ein wenig an eine erdige, würzige Note. Ein wenig Skunkie und auch eine Haze Note tritt zum Vorschein. Die zuckerblätter bekommen an den Tops langsam eine bläuliche einfärbung. Diese Woche kam zu ersten Mal der Kompostee zum Einsatz wobei ich ca, 1,5 Liter pro Pflanze gegossen habe

Day 1 Success! Both seeds germinated after 4 days although considering how tall they already are (2,5 cm / 1 inch) I guess they popped out of the soil yesterday already but I didn't check on them until today. Both seedlings had a piece of the seed shell still attached so I used a qtip and gently removed those shells. Overall humidity in the tent is low but I'm not overly concerned considering the humidity domes, which help to increase the humidity around each seedling. Day 2 Not much to report except that each plant grew 2 cm since yesterday. Day 3 Each plant added another cm of growth. The Blumat Digitals showed that the soil moisture was still in a good range (100-120 mbar) but the topsoil was a bit dry so I sprayed each plant with 1 liter of water (pH 6.5). Day 4 No noticeable vertical growth in either plant but the leaves are getting bigger. Day 5 Leaves are getting larger and another half centimeter of vertical growth. Day 6 Each plant added another half cm of growth. The Blumat Digitals showed that the soil moisture was still in a good range (102-115 mbar) but the topsoil was a bit dry so I sprayed each plant with 1 liter of water (pH 6.5). Day 7 Some additional growth, both vertically and leaf size.
