I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning. “ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.” I’m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

Day 44 – Steady March into Flowering The journey continues! Although the weather remains inconsistent — with chilly mornings, bursts of afternoon sun, and cold nights — this lady refuses to be held back. She’s thriving confidently in her super soil blend, nourished solely with pH-balanced tap water, and showing no signs of slowing down. Her foliage has become lush and expansive, acting like solar panels eagerly soaking in every bit of light they can capture between the clouds. New growth is vigorous, and the pre-flowering signs are now clearly taking shape, promising a smooth transition into full bloom. The top node is beginning to stack, and those early pistils are spreading — a sure sign she’s enjoying her environment. Although nighttime temperatures have dipped, she’s been strong enough to remain outdoors under the open sky. To protect her from the sneaky slug patrol, I’ve elevated her above ground level — a small tactic, but one that keeps her canopy untouched and flourishing. There’s something uniquely rewarding about this outdoor grow — it’s low-cost, hands-on, and deeply satisfying. While indoor tents offer more control, nothing beats adapting to nature’s rhythm and still achieving such healthy development. Much credit goes to FastBuds.com for the genetics. This girl is showing impressive resilience, structure, and poise — exactly what you want in a CBD-dominant auto. Can’t wait to transform this harvest into some rich, therapeutic CBD oil. One step closer each day! Day 46 – Thriving Naturally Under Open Skies This lady continues to prove that sometimes, less is truly more. I’ve kept things as simple and natural as possible — no synthetic nutrients, no grow tents, no artificial stimulation. Just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a super soil blend I mixed myself months ago. The result? A strong, healthy, and surprisingly resilient plant that now towers confidently at over 60 cm and is embracing her flowering phase with grace. Yesterday brought a refreshing rainfall — and while some might worry about outdoor exposure, this girl clearly enjoyed every drop. Her leaves were glistening with energy this morning as the sun returned, and the vibrant growth is undeniable. It’s moments like these that remind me why I chose an outdoor grow: nature takes care of its own when we provide the right foundation. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to keep her outside right through to harvest. With the summer sun still ahead, she’s got the best part of the season to stretch, stack, and swell those buds. Massive appreciation to FastBuds.com — the genetics are absolutely spot on for a low-maintenance grower like myself. Reliable, vigorous, and beautiful to watch evolve. No gimmicks. No stress. Just sun, soil, and the will to grow. Day 49 – Battle-Tested by Nature, Still Standing Tall What a wild few days it’s been! Heavy rain and strong winds put my lady through her first proper trial. At one point she even took a tumble from her pedestal and bent slightly under the pressure. But if there’s one thing that’s become crystal clear — Fast Buds genetics are made of iron. 💪 Despite the rough weather, she’s bounced back beautifully. Today the skies have cleared, and the sunshine has returned — and so has her posture. Her leaves are once again reaching outward with confidence, showing no signs of stress or damage. It’s moments like these that make outdoor cultivation so rewarding. There’s no hiding from the elements out here — it’s all about adaptability, resilience, and harmony with nature. My growing technique remains deliberately minimalistic: no artificial feeds, no grow tents, no special shelters — just pure rain, sunlight, and my homemade super soil blend. The goal is to let nature take the lead, and so far, she’s doing a brilliant job. If you’re thinking of trying an outdoor grow and want something straightforward yet satisfying, I can’t recommend FastBuds.com genetics enough. They’ve created a line that genuinely thrives even under less-than-ideal conditions. We’ve now passed the 7-week mark, and I’m more convinced than ever that this grow will finish strong, under open skies — just the way I envisioned. 🌿☀️

July 1: tied one down using 12 gauge wire. Soil might be a bit too rich for two of these three plants with the tied down plant being the best so far.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great week, the Glueberry OG Auto is finally in full blown flower at week 8 and I believe her vertical growth is just about done at 36" which is about perfect for this setup. She may grow a couple more inches but I'm hoping not too much because I have about 16" between her and the light. She is getting straight flower nutrients now as I transitioned her slowly over this past week. She is now feeding on silica, cal mag, and GH maxibloom. I will start to add some GH PK booster later this week slowly. I use GH KoolBloom to boost the PK of the maxibloom and continue with that mixture until I start to flush her around 4-5 days before harvest. I also have the Medic Grow Spectrum X set at 100% in the F1 Flower cycle, and I am now up to 90 minutes per day of UV/IR before lights off. My PH meter got a little crazy this week, but I think I caught it in time as I didn't really see any spots on the lower leaves. If I suspect my meter is off, I just test some of my well water because it has been steady at 6.3 since I moved in like 10 years ago. I will probably do one last light defoliation in the next couple of days and that will be about it other than keeping the reservoir full and in the correct PH range. The tomatoes outside are absolutely loving the runoff from these autos, as that is all they have had to drink since they were about 3 weeks old. Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

So far the autopots are doing their job. Havent manually watered the plants over a week and they are just blowing up with growth... Been keeping track of how much water the system has been using .. and just over a week they used about 4gallons of water .. My nutrients are still the same , nothing changes in the veg state ..Topped last week and Started LTS this week and plants are looking great .. I might veg for 1 or 2 more weeks

This past week has gone without a hitch. Touch wood but my light timer blunder last week hasn't punished me... Yet... The girls are still bulking up, the lady at the back must be in the dark almost, those large colas at the back are actually from the middle plant... Proper bully! Unfortunately as I have to go under the lights to take some photos, all of the exposures and colours look a bit different from photo to photo. Exactly 4 weeks until the planned chop now :P I'll be making dry ice hash from fresh trim also, and will post some pics when the big day comes... P.s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n765oOU_MMo - compelling evidence for adding UVB to your grows :)

I am watering them a bit more than 1L f water every 2 days and allways adding nutrients, I give them Fast food + Shogun + Auto Stimulator + Calmag and 2 days after bio-bloombastic + calmag. Once every two weeks I also add bloombastic in both feedings since it is a low PK (1312, funny number though 👊😋) due to its organic procedence. The LSDs are the taller plants in the back and in the right wall of the grow tent and the ones in the center are blueberrys Overall I am very happy, LSDs are getting really mean main colas and it seems to me that they are not going to be ready this week, which is not what Barneys said but is better for me in order to get a greater harvest, and to be honest, me being a first time grower might have also played a role on the process lasting a little longer since I slightly overfed them the first week of flowering. I must also say that this is an exceptional genetic, I mean they are sooo sticky and have such a nice smell that I am crazy to try them once I finish. Also, I am going to try and get a narchotic effect on these LSDs by harvesting them when all the trichomes turn brown after a 5 day root washing
