Week 24 January - 30 January

Sry for long delay in posting, things went a little crazy after covid19 hit hard, but everything is looking good gg4 #1and 2 are 1 day away from starting week 4 of flower and strawberry banana is 1week 5 days into flower

Good stuff

This week I Realised I'd used the wrong feed chart so I was over feeding 🙄 the leaves burnt on a few plants so I've only fed them water this week and will resume feeding from next week. There are still no pre sex pistils showing but it can't be far off now. As soon as pistils start to show I'll start feeding bloom feed. I've turned the light up to 30000lux using HLG's online calculator for converting a lux meter/app reading to PAR , my light is 3000k which with lm301H Led's works out @ 465ppfd which is about the max the plants can use in veg without supliments co2. Here's the link for anyone using quantum boards, it has different spectrum calculators. It's been really useful setting my light up so big thank you to HLG (even though I have a Geeklight) and a thank you to the GML show on YouTube for bringing it to growers attention (I love that weekly show, so much info and perspective) https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd Hope everyone's staying safe and growing 😎

Almost to the finish line for most of these girls.Everytime I get near the tent it just smells so great and wow are they building up some trichomes.The buds are chunky and super dense now and finishing up in the coming days except for one plant that has been lagging along the whole grow.It is smaller with a massive center cola so I’ll let her grow as long as needed. Day 66 placing two of the Papaya cookies in the dark in another tent for 24-48 hours before I cut and hang them.

Slowly Blooming ? flowering day 21

I have no problem with the plant so far 👍 Love water and fertilizer this is my secret 😁 🙏

Over all + Speed Auto is doing well. Seemed a bit slow taking off but she is progressing nicely. Had (1) seedling that completely stalled out. I went ahead and germinated another bean which was placed in soil (germinated tap root about 2 inches long) 5/18. Day 7: + Speed Auto showing second leaves coming in. Still slightly yellow, might be hungry or slightly over-watered. Will feed nutes in the next few days and see. Temp: 75º RH 75% PPFD: 300 VPD: .41 kPa Day 8: Just misting no water or nutes yet. Looking good. Temp: 75º RH 75% PPFD: 300 VPD: .41 kPa Day 9: Fed 2ml Cal-Mag, 2 ml FloraMicro, 1ml FlorGro, 1ml FloraBloom PH 6.2. Temp: 75º RH 70% PPFD: 400 VPD: .72 kPa Day 10: Responging well to nutes. Looking much darker green today, must have been hungry for nutes. Temp: 70º RH 75% PPFD: 400 VPD: .72 kPa Day 11/: Growing and looking darker green today. New leaf growth. Replanted new + Speed Auto in 3 gallon pot. ProMix HP. Temp: 77º RH 55% PPFD: 500 VPD: .67 kPa Day 12/Day 1: +Speed looking healthy. New seedling popped/ Day 1 under humidity dome (Gatorade bottle cut in half). Temp: 73º RH 62% PPFD: 500 VPD: .67 kPa Day 13/Day 2: New leaf growth. + Speed seedling coming along. Temp: 75º RH 60% PPFD: 500 VPD: .62 kPa Day 14/Day 3: New leaf growth. Fed 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom and 2ml CalMag. Seedling got spritzed/sprayed and left humidity dome in place. Roughly 1" tall with first leaves coming in. Seems to be doing better without rapid rooter start. Temp: 78º RH 61% PPFD: 500 VPD: .76 kPa

Day 71 - Starting week 11 today and gave her a feeding of nutes. She was pretty thirsty and took almost 2 full gallons of water. I did remove a few more fan leaves today and did check the pH runoff and came down a little bit, sitting right at 7.0. I’m thinking she’s down to the last couple weeks so might give her one more feeding of nutes then flush her out and just give water till the end. Day 72 - She’s still fattening up more each day and enough that I can notice the difference every time I look at her. I did notice a few leaves towards the top that are starting to fade to an off color so hopefully she’ll hold out and continue to fatten until harvest but I’ll keep an eye on her. Day 73 - Nothing new to report today, just pulled her out to tuck some leaves and check the trichs. Still quite a bit of clear but some milky in there. Most of the pistils are starting to turn orangish/red. She might be getting down to the last two weeks or so but I’ll let the trichs tell me when she’s ready. Definitely won’t be giving her anymore nutrients, just straight water from here on out. Day 74 - Nothing new again today, she’s looking and smelling great. I think two weeks tops left. Pistils are almost all shriveled up and an orangish/red color and mostly milky but still a few clear in there. She’ll be ready for some water tomorrow. Day 75 - Checking the trichs today, she’s actually just about ready to harvest. I gave her a good watering of plain water today and the PPM is down to about 700 right now. I’ll give her a few days to dry out then I will flush her with foxfarm’s Sledgehammer and wait for her to tell me she’s ready.

Great plant, harvested in 79 days. Frosty and smelly I hope for a good yield but most importantly a great smoke.

Plant still bulking out with clear and milky trichomes. Plant receiving water at the same frequency. May have started the flushing process a week too early.

Musste ob der Menge wg Zeitmangel in drei Etappen ernten. Aber in Summe ein echt anständiger Wert. Der Stamm war mega dick, der Topf bestaht fast nur aus Wurzeln. Vllt hätte ich sie früher separieren oder deLarfen sollen. Jedenfalls gab es trotz Solitärstandort recht viele fluffige Kleinblüten. Irgendwann hört man dann echt auf den Rotz zu trimmen. Bin gespannt ob sich der Duft im Glas nachher wiederfindet, denn er war echt Bämm. Kopfnzu, Nase zu, alles zu. Wie eingelullt. Aufdringlich, stark, fast beißend und dennoch sehr fruchtig und unterschwellig angenehm. Oder auch in einem Wort : WOW

So far so good…loving her leaf formation. I plan to use the scrog on her and breed her with some regular skunk #1 pollen. My new project.

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 £150 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.

15 Day dry then trimmed using the Trim Bin. Curing with Grove bags, first harvest filled 3, 1/4lb grove bags. *Updating with clone pictures of this pheno in late flower labeled in diary as you look through, If I pop a new seed of this strain Ill start another diary
