i vegged with lower watts and it seems they stay more compact

Another good week. Watered them twice. I'm not planning on feeding them again. A little defoliation. I definitely think they are in the last 2 weeks before harvest. Still seeing some nutrient burn developing on the leaves. I don't think I watered enough through the whole grow! I'd love to hear opinions on this! Took some videos of the buds with an iPhone 12 at 6X magnification. Decent quality! Otherwise, still looking to successfully harvest these plants! Thinking about the next grow. Probably going to be Auto Strawberry Cheesecake and Auto Anesthesia. Peace!

Going great so far except the 2 Gorilla Zkittles are still a little far behind but they are starting to bounce back! Day 18 everything finally transplanted in 5 gallon pots except the hulk berry is in the 3 gallon, hopefully the 1 small gorilla zkittles hits a growth spurt soon🤞🏼

Esa familia, ya estamos a mitad de floración como quien dice finalizando la 4 semana , y es que están cogiendo unos tonos también, esos colores rojos y morados que están entonando😈 Tuve que tuitear las 5 plantas de un armario ya lo visteis y las puntas se dirigen hacia la luz. Cómo podéis observar en las fotos y vídeos. Algunas se sobrealimentaron porque no todas comen igual pero reduci la alimentación solo en esas y ya se está solucionando. Por lo demás , pronto empezaré aplicar el overdrive junto con el bud candy unas semanas más. Las temperaturas en estos indoors son perfectas y la humedad relativa es correcta. Hasta aquí es todo espero que os esté gustando, buenos humos y feliz navidad 💨💨💨

The plant grew easily enough, with a few bouts of deficiencies, but it hermed out on me and basically wasted 11 weeks on me. Hopefully the fucking thing didnt compromise the other plants i had with it

HEY guys so another week has passed and the end is in sight . had to buy some alternitive mag and calcium supps as calmax isn't available at present here 😑 but been run a week now and no problems as of yet . Gave a wee vid update of my nutrients and supplements im using at present and will add more with different grows . Til next week 😀

1 of the bubba kush & 2 of the gorilla zkittlez are a little behind but over all everything seems to be going good so far! Day 10 update transplanted all the ones in smaller pots to 5 gallon pots except 1 of the bubba Kush it still needs a few more days! Everything else seems to be going great!

She is growing steong and healthy.. the winter its cloudy here and I am using cob led in my indoor...

This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. The wedding cheesecake auto is one of my favourites strains and i have grown it a number of times but now having a photoperiod version is just great and to flower so fast is brilliant. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week. Total decent buds dry weight for the grow=136g Light power Total= 200.43Kw 18hrs for 28 days = 504hrs 12hrs for 67 days = 804hrs Total hours for lights= 1308hrs 200.43÷1308=0.153Kw/hr average. Average 153w/hr Total g/W=0.89g/W Power used for grow=508.78Kw @0.30p =£152.63 Each gram cost £1.12 The buds have been curing for nearly 2 weeks so I haven't had a sample yet. There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review in about a week but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow. Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.

I’ve been training this canopy since it was in a tent this spring! Indoor tent has great flowers. I’m hoping to get a half pound of good smoke. I look to be on my way !

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

" Il reste quelques gens biens donc je garde espoire " PNL Wednesday It's fattening and ot seems that the bugs are not around anymore but it's just an illusion as a low population in still a population so I'm still at war. Thanks for your inputs , it's when you are in trouble that you're realising that you've got a whole community here for you 😘🤘👌🙌 Observations : Burning tips of the leaves due to an over feeding // Lower leaves that are fading and falling due to the age // Old signs of PH fluctuation As my last runoff check was a while ago I'm about to check these values today 👍🤘 Saturday The small Grapefruits, the one with the 420 pin , is doing so so . Two of the main buds have some bud rot due to the high humidity of the 2 last days ... high humidity due to the fact that I am working without air extractor and box half open but I've closed my box for less than. 48h and when zinc opened it the wall were full of water drops ( more than drops ) To help with that issue I've done a defoliation to have a better air circulation around the buds even if it's not recommended to do it that far in flowering. I've also observed the trichomes and they are mostly cloudy with a few brown and like 40% of clear trichs : surprising as the looks like she may need 1 extra week or 2 before cutting

She is growing strong and healthy.

Day 64 - Starting week 10 today and she’s definitely starting to fade out a bit and buds are fat and chunky. She is getting dry as well so tomorrow she’ll get 2 gallons of water with Magical and Sugardaddy to start the flush schedule from Technaflora. She’s got a real old school funky smell to her and reminding me of my younger days. Might end up doing a partial harvest and chop most of the big stuff in a week or two and let the lower stuff build up a bit before cutting the rest. Day 66 - Didn’t have time for an update yesterday but did give her 2 gallons of water with 5ML of Magical and 80ML of Sugardaddy and that was according to the feed chart. She’ll be getting straight water from here till the end. Tonight I went ahead and defoliated a little more and checked the trichs. There are a few ambers in there and mostly cloudy with a few clear still but hopefully she’ll finish up strong. Day 68 - She’s finishing up nicely and gonna be close to one of my quicker finishes. She’s all milky and starting to show a few amber trichs mixed up so almost thinking she’ll get the chop next weekend, gonna give her one more week. Soil is still a little wet so she shouldn’t need any for another day or two then it’ll probably be her last watering until she’s done. Day 69 - She’s got about 5 days left, at the most but will probably end up chopping her around Christmas time. If she’s ready for water tomorrow, I’ll give her one last drink and then she should be dried out completely but the weekend. Only catching a couple of clear trichs mixed in there and the rest are milky with about 10% amber.

Week 1 of Veg, here we go! Watering with 1/2 Oz of water every other day. Day 10, Now watering with 1oz. The crystal widow is growing happily!

Starting week 4 flower now. Theses ladies are doing great. No signs of any deficiency thus far. Decided to hold off on potash at this point. Noticed ladies fighting for light hard and middle lady trying to take it all. I removed the exhaust fan and opened the tent on the sides. Then I added another king led 4000w light. Both 24 in with bloom only turned on at a par of 850. That was done on Saturday, and by Sunday could already see a big difference in bud production. Added recharge with last watering. Hoping the ladies continue on happy and building!
