this little shogun that could has stretched to the max! She is actually a little big bush now. Too bad this season was not as ideal as it could have been. She has started to flower 7 to 8 weeks to go.

This week has been one of great gains in both size and vegetation we have seen a vertical leap in two plants that is astronomical almost 4 inches in a week! Had to do some pruning to expose new bud and a little bit of low stress training on to plants to see if we can expose light to the underside and perhaps get a little more love out of our lower buds The stalk size on almost all of these plants is almost as big as your thumb but on one it is actually relatively skinny that is the one we’re doing the low stress training on we just started the low stress training and it is taking very well to it One of these plants is extremely dark in color on the vegetation and has typically about 11 fingers per leaf! Not sure what that means yet

Hey, just wanted to show my little experiment. A selfmade grow bucket. Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto by Fastbuds. Plant is 4 Weeks old now, was in soil before in a 1L Pot. Changed to Hydro because other plants having trouble with my ph or magnesium problems. I dont know. Because my last grow in this bucket went pretty well i tried to give it another chance before i buy myself a better dwc system with more buckets. 👉Update Day 32 Removed 2 large leaves to give the shoots underneath more access to light. Also added an AC Infinity 60x60 SCROG net and set it up in a way that the lower shoots give the upper ones more space, allowing them to get better light exposure. ------------German---------- Hey, wollte nur mein kleines Experiment zeigen. Ein selbstgebauter DWC-Kübel, bestehend aus nem Airpot, nem Eimer und ner Aquariumpumpe mit Luftstein. Dazu noch n günstiger Füllstandsanzeiger von Amazon. Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto von Fastbuds. Die Pflanze ist jetzt 4 Wochen alt, war vorher in Erde in einem 1L Topf. Bin auf Hydro umgestiegen, weil andere Pflanzen Probleme mit meinem ph-Wert oder Magnesiumprobleme hatten. Ich weiß es nicht. Da meine letzter Grow in diesem Bucket gut lief wollte ich DWC eine weitere Chance geben, bevor ich mir ein besseres System kaufe. 👉Update Tag 32 2 große Blätter mehr entfernt um den Trieben darunter mehr Licht zur Verfügung zu stellen. Zudem noch ein AC Infinity 60x60 Scrognetz bekommen und so gespannt dass die unteren Triebe die oberen etwas freier stehen lassen und diese sich besser mit Licht versorgen können.

Day 15 and things are rolling right along.Ive just been giving ph water until the pots are dry.Noticing a lot of growth last few days and they are looking good.Ive decided to go from the 24 hour straight to 20 hours on 4 off light schedule.I have never really noticed much of a difference with auto flower from 18/6,20/4,and 24 hours on the light schedule.I think it is best for the equipment to give them a short rest time.I do like the consistency of the environment with 24 hours during the winter time though :)

Ordered a scale the other day so should have some more numbers tomorrow! Not going to sample anything until I get the scale, then I'll update with some more details.

Week 5 has been a breeze! Going into week 6 we are seeing a lot of great things. The buds are starting to get nice and tight and thick which is so awesome! Every is SUPER sticky thanks to the Bud Factor X. Watering has stayed the same generally. Definitely need to work on our trimming for next flower as there is a lot of lower spots that are super small and not getting much love. We are still learning though! Going into week 6 we will have to create some structures for a few of these branches. The buds are gaining weight and a few branches are becoming a little top heavy.

Started the week with apparently a bug of some sort. Ready to use Neem Oil from Walmart and they're responding fine. Will re-treat in 7 days. Good growth otherwise. Trying different methods of LST. Very fun! Looking forward to a good next 7 days. Going back to an 18/6 time cycle. I think the bat gauno was too potent and I may be watering with high alkaline water that may raise the pH. I had bb lack curled up baby leaves undergrowth and my fan leaves have sucked up all that extra potassium and some leaves have broken off. Some older fan leaves are patchy and discolored but am keeping them to continue saving excess there instead of newer growth. My light schedule also lended imo-high pH even tho it's within normal range going in. I'm trying to lower my humidity and get them ready for a our watering to flush away any iron from my shitty water that could turn to rust if not moved away from the roots. BTW Spider Mites...not husky hair in weed.. Neem oil seems to be working. Put a lady bug in the tent. So I'm a little past 30 days and it's a wash. I got stuff blooming and dying at the same time. I'll post pics soon for observation purposes. I'm going to make a list of my mistakes as well.

***** Week 5 December 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 29 to 35 from germination ***** Going into the first full week of flower/transition. She was definitely going through the start of transition last week but I left it as a veg week and will call this the first flower week. She is not 100% and will not be but she has all of the signs of being a nice girl. She grew hard to start and she can take the nutrients levels, leaf colour is very good and she has grown evenly, nothing odd with growth. You just can't make up veg time with autos as they don't stop😞 For the first four weeks I end up staying so focused on making sure the autos are happy everyday and for the full day if at all possible..........as opposed to the first four weeks of a photo and I am a lot more relaxed and feel there is time to correct anything......its all good😂😂 This girl has obviously not been happy about everything in life over the first four weeks. She was put on a riser this week to help get her closer to the light. I still don't know exactly what I have done but suspect it was a combination of things in veg to slow her down. I feel she likely wants a quite dry media so the roots can breath more........I was not "soaking" the coco with the volumes of moisture but it was wet. Possibly could have cut watering volumes in half to see. Been battling pH drift though so I have it in my thick skull to give a good runoff amount........which can lead to a "soaked" media and that my have been part of it??? I also took four large fan leaves up higher on her, early on right after the first LST and think that pissed her off as well........I knew when I did it and thought I would "roll the dice" and take them but maybe should have left them.......cant go back but at least aware of it😀 Pulled her out this week and looked closer at her to see the bottom better. Her branches are soft so silica is increasing now that we are in flower. Colour was good below and not spotting or deformities. When tying down the branches, she pulled her self right up around the ties again easily enough by the next day. At this point I just want to get all the extra leaves out of there and let the air flow so I removed a number of fan leaves on her lower half, not too crazy but enough that she felt it I am sure.......she is already stunted so screw it and help give her a chance to get more light and grow taller was my thought😁👊 Little more detail..... Dec 20/20, Day 29 - Dry out day after heavier feed yesterday. Dec 21/20, Day 30 - need to add some moisture - 1.5L watering with Magnificat @ 2ml = 200ppm and 5.7pH - more of a watering today with some CalMag added because RO water being used. Dec 22/20, Day 31 - dry out day today. - going to let her go and feed in the morning tomorrow. Dec 23/20, Day 32 - Feeding day today. Continuing with first weeks flower feed of 2ml/L. - 2L feed with Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, AstroFlower, VeloKelp, Natures Candy @ 2ml = 800ppm and 5.8pH. Dec 24/20, Day 33 - dry out day again. Still fair bit of weight in the pot compared to the other autos. - pull out tomorrow and clean up lower growth and check runoff numbers. Dec 25/20, Day 34 - 2L full feed again with the same 2ml/L feed as earlier in the week for all the autos. Added AN Rhinoskin as well for silica. - 1150ppm and 5.9pH going in.........pots were really dry and perfect pretty well. - Runoff was 1075ppm and 6.0pH.........I can live with that at week 2 flower😁😁 Dec 26/20, Day 35 - 1L full feed again. Had mixed up 12L yesterday. - Added 2ml/L of Microbial Mass and Piranha = 1200ppm and 5.9pH. - She needed her microbe allotment as we are at the start of flower. - Bacteria added to help keep some of the nutrients in the media as she finishes. - next watering is more of plain water and add Terpinator. Nice girl Sweet Seeds.......I have messed her up but learning from her.......we will get one to smile about😬😬

Still on auto cruise. This girl is doing great. Can't believe mt first cannabonsi has turned out so well so far. I'm giving her Fox farm nutes now. Just giving her some of the nutes my other plants are getting. Flower stuff. I water till run off with the nute fixture pretty much everyday. The pot is so small she soaks it up Was worried about over watering but I've actually under watered several times. She is starting to swell up. Not going to be a heavy producer but it's all about the looks. Been a really fun grow. Think this is my new hobby now.

13 hrs and 33 mins of daylight when I took these pics on 8/27 There's not much to say other than that this Girl is a beast. I'd say she's pushing 7 feet, I've been just guessing height, but I should probably get an accurate measurement on the plants next week. It's hard to get her in frame! I was a bit lax with feeding this week so her color isn't as good as it could be but I should have more time going into September to really put the juice to these girls so they have a strong finish💪

Here we are at week 7! During Week 6 Noticed earlier on in the week that 1 of the 5 White widows has a slight magnesium deficiency. Amended that with tsp of Epsom salt per 1 gal. PH'd water at 6.7. Noticed new growth looks okay! I think I should have added nutrients a week prior. Light defoliation on the bottom leaves under the canopy Added other 1/2 dose of down to earth 4-4-4 (I decided to half dose on the dry amendments to see how the plants respond) Added 1/2 dose of GEO Bloom 3-12.5-9 Watered dry fertilizer with compost tea brewed for 24hrs Started PH testing the soil. Reads around 6 Week 7 plans Going to try using white distilled vinegar as an organic PH down option. I have been using phosphoric acid and read that it is an inorganic. Hoping to not kill any good microbes with future watering. Tap water in my town reads at 7.6-7.8 Keeping an eye out for light stress and adjusted the light accordingly Light LST on bud sites Going to PH test run off to make sure soil is at okay PH level. New clip on fan is on its way to help lower RH in upcoming weeks. Aiming for consistent 40-45% So happy with how well this grow is going so far. Hoping it continues this way! (try not to jinx myself, yikes!) Let me know what you all think :)

New weekly uploads for a glimpse of what’s happening in the Cabbage Patch! She’s loving life! Day 38 - Wanted to rid her of some lower growth so I decided to make a lil video. Cheers 🍻

Added some extra nutes today 😁 Will be topped in the coming week.

Hi guys sorry for a late post this week. So started flushing all the plants now and they all.smell.amazing and getting some nice colours coming thru. Really frosty buds on these autos and really impressed so far.

Transplant time! Got these girls into a three gallon container with added mycos and bacteria. My custom mix is coco and perlite with added amendments, worm Castings and purple cow soil. I add dolomite lime on top and mix it in. They got a small watering.
