Here’s the moment I’ve been waiting for! I’ve decided to make some big changes for this round in the evolution of my grow! I’ve decided that since fastbuds has entrusted me with their brand new unreleased genetics to throw everything out the window and go for new, new, new! First off I’m going to ditch most of general hydroponics nutrients to try out the brand new floraflex nutes because they claim there will be no salt buildup. I have completely ruined 6 pumps, all of my grow totes and every piece of tubing associated with my hydroponics system. Secondly I’m going to set the rockwool aside in trade for the floraflex 6” pot pro system with the “bubbler” using coco as my medium. So let’s get locked and loaded and see just what these unknown ladies are going to do for us. The featured 3 plants here are a first from them in a photo period fast flowering 50-60 day finish and I have zero additional data.

My oh my, what a difference a week and a dimmed down light can make! I expected to have to have it covered for longer period than I actually did as well. I don’t know what there is to say really, you can see I have repotted into the Autopot XL so it is probably the smallest Autopot XL grow there is! I was super careful to actually cut the paper pot it was in away as I didn’t want the auto to think that was the bottom of the pot and start flowering. I simply prepped what it was going into and wetted it and ripped it off then buried it - it was a little leggy from the windowsill action so I sorted that. Somehow the dimmer that was broken is no longer broken so that’s cool - its on about a third of the total of what’s it can put out atm. Honestly, I thought this plant was going to die before! It still might but it looks a fuck load better now than it did! I am going to have to start mixing up some hydrocrop notes as it’s what I have on hand. I’ve always had great results with it before so why not. I am back in touch with FastBuds and they have sent me some more seeds so hopefully next run I’ll be doing something a bit newer as they seem to always be pushing that THC value! So far, so good - now to have a look at other smoothie auto diaries too see what stresses she can handle in terms of training. Edit: it’s been a couple of days since my last update but I needed to add a small reservoir for the Autopot XL to run from so I nominated a 5l plastic jug. Only after drilling the hole for the Autopot filter and plug I realised I needed to get to the inside of it so I cut away the section that was the lid so I can still use the handle and it has structural integrity. Everything seems to have gone swimmingly but the jury is still out on whether a 5l bottle will be enough for 1 plant - I can’t remember how thirsty the smoothie one was from before. It’s a resilient plant though - it recovered so quickly from germing on the windowsill. The tent is pretty sketchy because i had to cut down the poles to make it fit the space and so the skin is a bit saggy. Still, she seems to be thriving - the light is on about 50% (75w) and before I connected up the ‘res’ today I was just spraying a very small amount of water that had mammoth p added to it after it had been PH’d to 5.5 ish. I did intend to go with grow dots but unfortunately they have taken too long to come now - its in its final pot and im not messing around with slow release now we are coming into veg, they would surely be behind schedule. I have been using the trusty Hydrosol by Hydrocrop - its cheap as chips and has a cannabis specific feed chart that has never let me down. I was using GHE before and this is like 10x cheaper and i get the same results. Once you have worked out your concentration and diluted the powder into bottles it is very similar to any other rip off, cannabis specific bottle feeds, only you get enough powder to make 5 bottles worth of each so it works out super cheap, you dont need to mess around with silica, it literally has everything the plant needs so no PK boost either, you simply adjust the ratio of bottle A to bottle B and it boosts the PK and lowers the N. It also has enough calcium and magnesium - although they do sell a cal mag but they specify it is specifically for buffering coco - fair enough. I’ve never had any luck doing that and my plants always die using that bricked coco that I have buffered myself but that’s just me - my mushrooms love it though and I dont have to do shit to it either!

a little stressed out🌴⚡️

💫The week went great. After the first stress, growth seemed to slow down, but it worked out, the plant began to expand. I water it every 3 days. I continue to bend the stem along the axis of the pot. I bend the branch that will pass through the fastest. 💚I started giving supplements late. Only on the 33rd day I gave him fish and everything else. 🍀 Week showed good growth, but it could have been better, let's see what happens with the additives. I continue to twist the stem in a circle (I don't know where to twist it). And I also cut off the leaves a little bit, about once a week, as they block the light (a friend says not to overdo it with defoliation, let's see what happens).🍀

The girls started to pre-flower on the 6th of June. They all have a slight smell when you rub the leaves. Kosher cake, Strawberry banana and the Forbidden runtz have a sweet smell to them. The Forbidden runtz reminds me of the smell of skywalker OG which is totally LUSH..!! The blackberry has more of an deep earthy smell with a slight bit of fruitiness. Super excited for the next few weeks with these ladies. Happy toking my peeps 😁

Lollipop Added 3rd net Removed male

Had some humidity issues been watering with spring water until I get something to filter the tap water Jan.8th amnesia haze 1 got bit taller so I did some more LST

Second week of the flowering period 😻😻😻 This week on DAY 8 of the flowering period I started replacing the wooden sticks with bigger plastic plantsticks. 👌 The plants grew like crazy the rest of the week 😵😵😵 And they drank a lot of water 😱😱😱 I did a bit of pruning this week; I removed some lower and smaller branches. 👉👉 My ceiling slopes from left to right, so on DAY14 I moved the largest plants (Triple G) on the left side. 👍 On DAY14 I also reattached the branches to the plant sticks 👌 and again bending (LST) of the branches to get a flat canopy. 🙌 👆 Largest plants = Triple G = 90cm 👇 Smallest plants = Wedding Gelato = 70cm

♥️☺️♥️ Thinking about when exactly to harvest... Buds seems keep growing now... I know I should wait a bit more but.. I think I will. ☺️♥️☺️ 👉 27th of september 2021 / DAY 64 👉 Buds seems to keep growing on the top to top direction. 👉 28th of september 2021 / DAY 65 👉 MAX 26.9°//64% MIN 21.9°//40% 👉 29th of september 2021 / DAY 66 👉 WATER + CITRUS DROPS : EC : 0.3 / p.h. 6.4-6.5 / 22.0° / 9 Liters Run-off (first 10-20 ml about): 3/3 : [x] [0] [0] : EC : 1.2 / p.h. 6.6 / 21.7° --> Added more drop off to reach : 0.7 E.C. 1/3 : [0] [x] [0] : EC : 2.0 / p.h. 6.0 / 21.0° --> Added more drop off to reach : 0.7 E.C. 2/3 : [0] [0] [x] : EC : 1.2 / p.h. 6.8 / 22.0° --> Added more drop off to reach : 0.8 E.C. This was their last meal 😭😵 👉 30th of september 2021 / DAY 67 👉 Pistils are pretty much brown, I can see some brown trichomes and mix of milky and white. I deciced to make A DWARF ESCAPE tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day, Tomorrow I will harvest. Tomorrow orcs will die ! According to my lovely (I definitly love them) breeder informations : 👽Flowering time: 6 - 7 weeks 👽Harvest Month: 9 - 10 weeks after sprouting. I am at week 6 of flowering, but week 10 after sprouting. So I should be in the good range. 👉 1st of october 2021 / DAY 68 (1 day later could be more sexual) 👉 Everything has a start, a first time, and 1.10.2021 was perfect to end my first harvest. You can read the harvest page. The murder (the escape sorry) of the 3 dwarves happenend around 4 p.m. or 16h00 in an unknown place full of dark but with no pain (almost).

NO SMELL YET PK BOOSTER EVERY FEED BUSHY AF I AM TIRED OF DEFOLIATING

The SCROG net was installed on the last day of Week 6, I included a couple pics from that night, to compare with how the plant looked the next day, which was the first day of Week 7. My nerve damaged fingers caused me to be a little rougher with her while the net was going on than I like, but as you can see, she bounced back very quickly and was reaching for the light less than 24 hours after being mangled lol. I will continue to systematically defoliate the upper canopy every night or two for the next several weeks, and will completely strip most everything below the net. Every night or two I'll tuck any branches that need tucking, and will remove any fan leaves covering bud sites. She spread out pretty well in the net, and truth be known i probably could have gotten away with a 6 week veg after, plants are a decent size in the net with the stretch left to go. Flip happens at the end of Week 7 The manganese issue seems to be getting much better by the end of the week. Will keep my pH levels at 5.8 for the remainder of this grow, and any subsequent grows. I also devised a fan mount to save on space in the net. Instead of standing the fan, i simply cut a piece of 1x3 to length, drilled 2 holes in each end, large enough for zip ties to pass through. then I simply zip tied it to the tent poles, took the legs off the fan, and screwed the base to the board. I placed a piece of foam on top, as the screws were a shade long and I was afraid the small protruding tip would eventually puncture the tent. Works much better than expected. No movement in the mount at all.

Next week harvest!!!

Hello everyone 😎 Week 7 of flower for the KK auto from Dutch Passion ❤️‍🔥 Spider Farmer SE-7000 100% For the nutrient 4ml/L terra bloom & 1ml/L power buds + green sensation 0,5ml/L from plagron Weight is coming 😎 Have a nice day 🤩

Still looking pretty good so far. After harvesting Girl Scout Cookies Auto, Yuhbary Auto is sharing a light with my two other, much younger plants. The light is a lot closer to Yuhbary Auto than before, which leads to discoloration of some fan leaves, but as far as I understand it, that's to be expected due to suddenly increased photosynthesis. A lot more Trichomes are getting milky, but so far, no amber ones in sight. UPDATE: That was that - Yuhbary Auto suddenly developed amber trichomes and the lower fan leaves started to turn yellow. A lovely grow, a lovely plant and a very nice outlook on what's to come in her next phase.

Noch immer leicht im wachstum. Obwohl schon seit 2,5 wochen in flow. Neigt sich aber schön langsam dem ende zu und steckt bald ihre ganze kraft in die blütenbildung. Für in der 3ten woche bin ich sehr zufrieden. Ich liebe es wenn sie die ersten 3-4 wochen noch nach spargeln. Für see of green ideal. Die besten und saubersten stecklinge gibts wie immer hier bei ROOTS-FARMS. The best in austria and maybe europe👌🔥💚
