6th week of veg!!! 💚💡🌱 Lots of growth in the last 2-3days, color looks great a couple twisted leaves on #4 but nothing major..we've removed a large fan for better light penetration on #1 & #2..temps have been awesome since the weather changed, plants are loving the intense light and mild climate. We have no real game plan for flower (besides not getting overgrown lol) but size will definitely determine when we flip.. I would assume 2 more weeks at this rate of growth but time will tell.. everyone is eating a little with every watering now (water only every 3rd/4th) and things look great! (for now lol)..Thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! 🌱😽💨

We've been running the MarsHydro at 29" this entire grow (found my tape measure lol) and the node spacing is still really tight, I assume there's a lot more red in SP-3000 than lights we've used in the past, at 29" these little plants have side stems as fat as pencils..We plan to keep the light at this distance all thru veg and we'll begin lowering it at the start of flower...plants are coming along nicely, much more growth in the last few days than the previous week. I'm REALLY excited for this grow..I think the SP-3000 will deliver us a half lb or more of Bruce Banger with very little effort..I couldn't be more in love with this setup....
.....until i buy my 2nd SP-3000 that is 😸

Week 3 Marvels: Cherry Cola Auto's Green Symphony Continues
Hi guys! Our botanical voyage with the Cherry Cola Auto from Fast Buds Seeds is evolving into a mesmerizing saga. As we delve into Week 3, the green marvel not only thrives but astonishes with newfound vigor. Strap in for another week of horticultural revelations!
Our Cherry Cola Auto, now comfortably settled in the 16L fabric pot, has gracefully embraced the Lumatek 465W Zeus Compact Pro LED in its new tent. The transition was seamless, and the plant basks in the orchestrated light, akin to a botanical ballet.
In a daring twist, I decided to break from tradition and venture into uncharted territory for autos - topping! With gentle fingers and utmost care, I executed a precise pinch at the top. The result? A beautifully topped Cherry Cola Auto, standing tall and proud. Topping involves removing the apical meristem, redirecting growth hormones, and promoting bushier lateral growth. It's like giving our plant a new set of directions for an intricate dance of foliage.
But the surprises don't end there. This week, I introduced the art of bending to our green companion. Picture this: the plant, pliable and eager, responding to a gentle coaxing of its branches. Bending not only shapes the plant but also enhances light exposure to lower branches, ensuring an even canopy. It's like crafting a botanical masterpiece with nature as the artist.
As promised, I've captured the essence of my Aptus Holland watering mix in a visual delight. Check out the accompanying video for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the meticulous concoction. This nutrient-rich elixir, featuring Regulator, caMg-boost, All in One and Start Booster, is the lifeblood of our Cherry Cola Auto's thriving existence.
As we conclude this Week 3 saga, the Cherry Cola Auto stands as a testament to the endless possibilities of cultivation. To Fast Buds Seeds, Aptus Holland, and the entire green community, your support fuels this vibrant journey. Here's to another week of green marvels, topped triumphs, and bendable beauties. Until next time, keep growing, keep experimenting, and let the green symphony play on!

Hello again!
Into week 7+ ladies were very bushy so I decided to dive in and clear out the lower canopy and removed old leaves. As usual watering every 4-5 days and I have increased the amount of water to about 8L to each pot. They are drying out faster day by day. Still using 50mL of molassas to 5gal of water pH to 5.9 this time.
No issues to report.
See you on the next update!

8/24:
No deficiencies, no pestilence, no major issues with heat or humidity....just SO MUCH EASIER than trying to grow outdoors in summertime...😁
8/25:
Was gonna feed today, but they aren't dry enough yet. Keeping it cooler in the closet has it's drawbacks...
I'll do a foliar feeding with Microlife Maximum Blooms tonight and probably feed them tomorrow.
8/26:
I fed them 8 gallons in total today, so that's a little under a half-gallon each. Hopefully they'll dry out a little quicker so I can get back to my normal routine.
8/27:
Rotated the edge plants
8/28:
Ogled them a bit...
8/29:
I sprayed them at "dusk" with Microlife Maximum Blooms and did a little rearranging after removing the 3 autos from the closet. Now, each of the 15 plants has a little over 1 sq ft to itself...

- Trimmed lower fan leaves as they were being blocked completely, and a few tips were yellowing.
- Continuing to lightly bend the upper branches so the lowers can catch up.
- Bought some Gaia Green veg + bloom dry fertilizers as I expect I'll be flipping to flower soon.
7/7/2021
- Watered in a little bit of Gaia Green's veg fertilizer.
- Foliar fed w/ DIY kelp extract.
- Yellowing/browing on a new leaf, can't identify what it is.
- Staked down the branches on the upper mains this evening to open her up for more light penetration, she was gettin' real bushy.

Here we are at day 56 and so far so good as you guys can tell from the picture she seems to have had too much nitrogen. So the last feeding was strictly green sensation.. The feeding prior I also cut back on nitrogen so hopefully she lightens up some in the coming days.. thank you to Kannabia Seeds for the opportunity to grow this girl.. As you could see, no training at all, so I don't expect much more than maybe 1.5oz or 2 tops .. i will say she's looking good in some of the fan leaves are already producing trichomes.. This girl is a light feeder, so to everyone growing it.Keep that in mind.. I hope everybody is doing well.God bless and happy growing ✌️
