This is the start of week 4 of flower. Raised my light to the maximum height, have it on 100% full spectrum and 50% red and ir. Noticed some yellow tips with a little curling, thought it was light burn, but now think it may be over nutrients so I lowered nutrients to about 75% of what they recommended to see maybe it will help. Other than that not much else I did, besides letting these girls grow.

Hello guys Welcome ๐Ÿ™‚ Today we are at the end of week 11 from seed with this five , KALINI ASIA ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐ŸŽ‹ Like you probably already know.. This diary it's for the Zamnesia Spring Cup ๐Ÿ† I'm growing all seeds Zamnesia has provide us for try to show how this strain can grow in different ways. The substrate will be the same light-mix soil mix with cocco and some one with humus The nutrients and the cultivation techniques will be different for each one So , I have reported down below what I do and I will do every week for the next few months.. The 5 ways ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒต๐ŸŽ„ PS (Things I have and I still use in flowering , I have put for all five down below ๐Ÿ‘‡, because are mostly the same) K # โ€‹โ€‹1 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ5} Final height= 30cm Is the lady where I have use all the things ZAMNESIA was provide to us for free๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’ฏ ( I will spend more words about it when I post the harwest) _11l ZAMNESIA-POT _70g MONSTER-MIX _60%light-mix soil/30%cocco/10%perlite _mycorrhizae She and her sister K # 3 are mostly identical, maybe she's a little more low in heightnes but not to much The flowers increase in size day by day ๐Ÿš€ Unfortunally this lady and K # 3 dosen't shows any purple-pink colors, like the other three components of the family.. But it's fine right this..for me is better this situation because I can compare the difference at the end ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘Œ She also starts to increase the trichomes production๐Ÿ”ฅ And a little vit of aroma is coming.. We will see The other things I have use in this last seven days I will put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#2 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ5} Final height= 30cm For this girl I have use different diet.. _11l smart-pot _Living Soil (my High-Brix formula) _mycorrhizae This one she's growing in my personal Living soil (High-Brix recipe) that I have use and I still use right now with her and other plants in different diaries.. And I think to continue to use it for a long time more Always comes out somnthing of ๐Ÿ”ฅ And to be honest , in the beginning of this adventure , I was sure that the Kalini Asia grow in to it can shows her true DNA And In fact , she's coming out purple-pink and with a very lovley and unique aroma ๐Ÿคฉ Like you can see in pictures , her leafs starts to decrease in color and they already becoming a nice yellow.. Auto flush , like as always when I grow in Living Soil ๐Ÿ’ช She knows for imself what's the best for her.. I have just to watch and create the right environment.. But we will see better in a couple of weeks if my Living soil works right even with this amazing strain ๐Ÿ˜Ž Like the other sisters , the micro life/nutrients/stimulator I have use in this last seven days I have put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#3 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ5} Final height= 35cm With this girl I have use.. _11l plastic-pot _20gMONSTER-MIX + 70g guano kalong + 25g kelp kalong + some organic nutrients/stimulator _mycorrhizae In the last few weeks of vegetation and the first two of flowering, she was appears most vigourous in growing that her two sisters in 11l pot.. But now she looks a little less bigger in buds size , but not to much.. She's almost identical in everything with her sister K#1 , but the nutrients I have using are in part different We will see at the end ๐Ÿ˜‰ Things I have use this week down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#4 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ6} Final height= 40cm The little one of the family..but maybe the most resinous for now ๐Ÿ’ช Whit her I have using.. _5l air-pot _30g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae Like K#2 and K#3 , lucky , she's showing some beautiful color Mostly dark pink , but I don't know if the pictures helps you to understand at the best how lovley she's This week she was increase a lot in a bud size and she also starts to smell amazing ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Difficult to describe Love it ๐Ÿ’š And she's probably the ones with the most trichomes density ๐Ÿ”ฅ I think she's ready in no more then 19/21 days , maybe before ๐Ÿ“† Other nutrients/stimulator I have put down below ๐Ÿ‘‡ K#5 ๐ŸŒฟ {BLOOM nยฐ7} Final height= 60cm With this beauty one I have using _7l geotextile pot ( not completely full , about 5,5/6 liters ) _40g MONSTER-MIX _mycorrhizae I don't know exactly if what I will say right now it's the true But I personally think she's definetly the phenotypes to looking for The smell it's absolutly insane Very complex and intense , mostly on a fruit side with earthy tones I really hope to find a true Kush effect with unique taste The trichomes are not to much dense , probably due the high temperature But she appears almost healty enough and happy The leafs starts to comes purple , especially the ones upper for the most , and a couple of it already died after finish the nutrients inside Flowers are just awesome in my opinion Also , like the K#2 and K#4 , probably the pictures don't showing at the best how she's lovley But maybe I will transporter her outside in the last week , under the sun light , for show you her gifts ๐Ÿ˜‰ I think she will be mature at the best in max 14 days I can't wait to taste her buds They are somnthing really special โฃ๏ธ Now I have reported over here the other things I have using in this last seven days , apart the regular water I have give every day for each ones ๐Ÿ’ง K#1 / K#2 / K#3 _5ml molasses each one _2,5ml rinhoskin each one _2,5ml topmax each one _3ml sensizym each one For the other two I have always decrease a little bit in this weeks, but things are still the same But for K#5 it's from more then one week I have starting give her just regular water plus some enzymes.. And I will continue to do it for a couple of days more ,and then I will give only still water for the last ten days So , for K#4 this week I have using K#4 _4ml molasses _2ml rinhoskin _2ml topmax _2ml sensizym For K#5 _2ml sensizym _๐Ÿ’ง Like the all ten weeks before also this one has passed easy Plants are always in happy moode and me with they ๐Ÿ˜„ For now I can say she's a really good genetics , no doubt ๐Ÿ™Œ And if you find a dark pink-purple phenotype, do what I have not doing.. Clone it ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ It's somnthing special and unique.. Vigourous , productive with beautiful colors and very complex terps profile.. In a few months I will definitely give you a better idea.. So , stay tuned ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿค™ Thank you so much for stopping here ๐Ÿ™ Hope you was enjoyed like me ๐Ÿ˜Ž See you next.. Ciao โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Welcome to my Fast Buds sponsored shootout and living organic soil v coco side by side. I also plan to use this grow to my full advantage regarding a few age old nagging questions about methods. I have had a keen interest in L.O.S ( supersoil) since reading a few threads a while back on how amazing and productive it can be. After too much research and procrastinating I had to give it a go. I have been a decades coco/nft grower and recently threw my hat in the rdwc ring too. I have avoided soil due to the overwatering worry ( heavy handed chimp brain !) and the best potting soil/feeds. Catching up on the advances in indoor soil gardening and organics led me too subcools supersoil recipes to name a few but being a town dweller with farms everywhere around me still drew blanks on a lot of the ingredients needed and where the hell I could even begin to get them from. Thankfully , commercial savvy has now made buying it in ready to use and with a full range of beneficial bacteria ect available in amendments from a grow shop here in the uk. ecothrive have realised the potential for us to dive into this medium with all the mixing , measuring and resourcing. I bit the bullet and ยฃ150 later I now have 4 x37Litre pots that will be used for as long as I want to feed the soil for without EVER needing nutrients again potentially. The coco has also had charge mixed in to encourage the bennies to colonize there too. I will be using the shogun nutes that I know do the business with coco to compare with for yield , growth and taste. I have 3 seeds each of 4 Fast Buds Strains to use as a control for the grow and am journaling each strain in their own diaries. This statement will be used to start each one as the information is identical at this point but following this I will do them individually. I am now starting their second week since opening the seed packets , straight into soaked and shook root riot cubes and into the heated propagator. They had all showed their heads by end of day 3 and a couple needed helmet surgery to open up without being hindered . I have has them in the prop for a few days but they needed to get settled as they were popping roots out all over the cubes. They have now been in their final pots for 2 days complete and starting their 3rd today at day 8 since planting in cubes. I am impressed with the speed and success of these girls already (12 of 13 germinated) . Well done fast buds. So here we go folks , any comments , ideas ,questions , advice are always welcome and I hope we can have some fun experimenting with defol v non defol , topping v fimming v bending and any other curiosities along the way. I plan on using a quadline for them all to keep a control for the comparisons too. Be green folks Welcome aboard and a huge thank you to Fast Buds for the opportunity to try autos.

Fattening up every day now and sugar producing very fast! Smells absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Not very strong atm but very sweet and fruity, definitely a strain I think Iโ€™ll enjoy and grow more of! Looking very beautiful also and I love the structure, would definitely recommend so far! Has been very easy to grow and put up with a lot of stress from me ๐Ÿคฃ Amazing!!

Started to flush GG Auto 2 (Grown in 70% Coco & 30% perlite). Since she's getting heavy and falling over I bought a cheap net (the wrong size ofcourse lol), but it does the job. Just waiting for those amber trichomes now! Hoping to harvest her on day 90. It's very humid here where I am, so have had the dehumidifier going non stop which is making it much hotter in the tent. Trying my best to keep temperatures below 30c during the day. First grow so any feedback would be really appreciated!

So, with these interesting times and what is becoming a fast evolving global catastrophe. I, myself, along with the rest of you ( I hope ) can take some solace in looking after our gardens, to have some peace away from the news, to give our ladies the best care we are able to provide ๐ŸŒฑ If you ever needed any vindication or validation as to why growing your own is best. More than half the world currently in lockdown, and with MJ in short supply, our actions speak for themselves! Anyway, back to this diary. I done a lot of work on the room, invested a lot and tried to make everything as automated as possible. Everything runs on smart plugs, the hydroponic system is DIY and is RDWC which is cooled with a Hailea 150a. 6 plants is what I am going for this time, with a shorter veg length compared to the last grow. I prefer to wait until they show their sex, but if they donโ€™t by week 5, I plan on flipping anyway all being well. I am using 730nm LEDโ€™s that come on 15 mins before lights on, turn off during lights on, and then they come back on when lights go out, and stay on for 15 mins. This should enable me to run 13/11 during flower with little risk. I am also going to add a UVB fixture to my custom rig which will only be used during the final 2 weeks of flower. I have 3 Alibaba lights attached to a custom rig, they really are awesome lights. I tested the room out with an Apogee SQ-520 par meter (PAR map in pics). I have dimmed them down, so PAR is around 500 across the whole canopy, this will be increased to 1000 once theyโ€™re flipped. I vent from my house, to the room and then outside, this increases the CO2 in the room, which I think helped the yields on the last grow, generally CO2 hovers between 470 and 700 PPM. My ladies look a little sick, but tbh, I struggle starting out in Rockwool, and things usually correct themselves within a couple weeks. With the quarantine I have struggled to pick up a humidifier that is capable of maintaining that room, so it has been all over the place since the start. I have opted to go with Royal Gorilla this cycle, letโ€™s see if itโ€™s as potent as RQS says that it is! Good luck all and take care...

we are entering the 3rd week of flowering. she looks healthy and continues to feel well. the buds are getting thicker and thicker. this week she was given a homemade fertiliser made from aquafaber, coffee grounds and bannan peel. she really liked it. and in addition to the biobizz fertiliser schedule, she is given biobizz topmax once a week.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜‹ i did a bit of lollipopping.

Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Week 11 (10-4 to 16-4) 10-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 52% (lowest) No pictures. Added 10L to the reservoir, and turned it on for a couple of minutes. 11-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 52% (lowest) 12-4 Temperature: 25.5 degrees (lights on) 22 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 57% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. 13-4 Temperature: 26.5 degrees (lights on) 23 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 56% (lowest) 14-4 Temperature: 26.4 degrees (lights on) 22.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 45% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. The reservoir is almost empty, there is 850 ml left. 15-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 49% (lowest) No pictures. 16-4 Temperature: 23.5 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 53% (lowest) Today i defoliated both plants heavily for the last time, you can say i did a method called: schwazzing. Dont know why but while i was defoliating the Chemdog smelled a little bit like soap haha. Turned on the reservoir for a couple of minutes. (Till the AutoPots are full and the valve closes) Rised the pots aswell, so the canopy is very even. I let them recover from the heavy defoliation i did, and next week i will slowly increase the light's strength. (Now still at 50% 50cm)

August 15th water August 16th nothing August 17th the weather is better so im not sure if i want to leave this plant on the balcony or if i will put her on the roof again, but at the moment in the 15 liter pot shes getting bigger and bigger, so maybe i will just finish this one on the balcony and accommodate the roof better August 18th first 'hairs' appeared ๐Ÿ˜ we also watered August 19th nothing August 20th nothing: but it seems that the plant likes the guanokalong nutrients, no signs of deficiency or overfeeding! August 21th: water
