Preparing to yank out top shelf and rejig things. I can only gain 4” but it will be needed as this thing is running hard. Closer than 8-10” to the LED light, and she WILL get cooked! Next Gen grow box gains almost 8” in height with same dimensions, so problem solved. I may have to cut CO2 until stretch is over or just cut altogether. I got a close eye in her. Day 44: She's looking good, and stretching at a rate of 2"/day in her tin can. I did a light defoliation and cleaned up training wires. I'll leave her be from here on out; less some selective defoliation to keep sites open. I cut CO2 (which would have been helpful a bit earlier), and may turn back on at the end of week 8, time will tell. Day 46: She looks like she is 4+ days behind when compared to the other 4 autos I have grown. She will either catch up, take longer to mature, or I'm screwed because of the heavy defol. Flower development seems slow/odd. 10pm and she’s now 22” tall and too close to the light. Flower productivity accelerating for sure. Maybe she will just catch up, and finish late? Bummer I had this one in quarantine. Day 48: leave symptoms developed further into dark rust spots very suspect to a calcium deficiency. I flushed for a few hours, cut Gro out all together and bumped Micro and Bloom. Increased CalMag from .8ml to 1.5 ml/gallon. Now observing. Day 49: Another day or two will tell but it feels like the deficiency is slowing as the progression on day 47-48 was an hour by hour progression. Throughout the week, and almost everyday, I have taken a dozen or so leaves throughout the canopy and the undergrowth. One day I defoliated her pretty good, but not super heavy. Massive leaf production and has crowded the plant/bud sites out in a matter of a day or two. Day 52: Looks like calcium or possibly potassium deficiency back in check. Newer leaves look good and no progression on older leaves.

She's almost ready to come down and the flowers are pretty nice size, with good trichome build-up. She smells funky but creamy sweat.

E aí vamos nós! Quero agradecer a toda a equipe da Fastbuds por me mandar essas seeds. Em meu país é muito difícil encontrar genética boa de verdade, então foi uma benção para mim. Essa Kosher eu resolvi fazer no kokostec e usarei GH com Fórmula de Lucas, knf e micorrizas. Nesse inicinho aplico apenas enzimas e microorganismos benéficos para a raíz. Enfim, acompanhe, e qualquer sugestão ou critica, fala comigo!

The start of cultivation was not at all favorable at temperatures below 10 degrees then came a storm that caused cracks and tears in the leaves ... The leaves were very dirty from clay and perlite, so I tried to wash them all with a paper tissue. The weather was not at all kind, so I added Advanced Nutrients- B52 vitamins and Rhino Skin to strengthen the stem and leaf I often meet different animals on my way through the forest, today I met a newly born young fallow deer

Fabric pot plants still trailed their plastic pals. Midweek (Wed–Sat) was a ghost town, and by Saturday, growth stalled hard—soil water crashed to 16%. Sunday’s 3L feed (1.6 EC) saved the day, with runoff at a happy 1.5 EC / 800 PPM. Conditions stayed decent, but a high VPD (1.4) midweek and low CO₂ (500 ppm) didn’t help. Light bumped to 65% but dropped to 50% Sunday. 😅 Lessons: →Nutrient Alert: Overfeeding keeps haunting the fabric pot—use lighter feeds (1.0–1.2 EC) for autos. →Don’t Ghost: Midweek neglect killed momentum. Set reminders or automate watering to avoid stalling. ⏰ →VPD Matters: High VPD (1.4) stressed plants. Boost humidity to keep it 1.0–1.2. 💨 Fabric Pot Woes: Dries faster than plastic—check soil daily to keep it consistent. 👀 Takeaway: Overfeeding and a hands-off midweek slowed things down, but Sunday’s fix got ‘em back on track. Stay on top of feeds and water! 🚀😉

I don’t know if it’s the rapid stack pots combined with the rain science grow bags, or the green planet nutrients but these autoflowers are huge at 54” tall. The largest I’ve ever grown indoors. I’ve always wanted to grow a purple pheno and now that moment has come. These autos are going to be show stoppers!!! I’ve very excited to share with you all.

Hey guys everything is going great with these ladies all 6 germinated and popped up in 3 days after planting 1 of the six shooters is a lot smaller than its sisters so I've order LEMON PIE from FASTBUDS should be here tomorrow to take its place and I'm going to move the six shooter outside so if you would like to see its journey comment and like bellow ⤵️ The only thing I wish I did differently would of been starting these girls under a cfl or a cheap led to stop stretching but lesson learned if anyone has any question's please comment and thank-you all for your support ✌️

Roots looking good, plant looking good but look close and you can see a nute deficiency coming. most likely because my lazy ass did not change the water yet so i got some pH problems. but i wasn't paying attention to this yet haha

Plants are growing at a nice pace especially dealing with the extra high PH runoff
