Hi Growmies, This was her last week, as she was cut down at the end of the week;) I fed her Final Part another 3 days and then changed the reservoir to PH-ed tap water with Flash Clean for 5 days. Dimmed back the light to 50%. I took out her from the tent for an inspection and I saw more and more milky trichomes turning to amber. This is a clear sign of her maturing beautifully. After she went with another girl from for 48 hours of darkness before she was chopped.🌱⚔️ Her root ball was looking healthy and much better after the flushing process so next time, I'm sure I won't be using powder silicate because it only made the roots tangled. The total number of flowering days was 65 since we changed the light cycle to 12/12. I moved her to the drying tent with 55% RH. She is sharing it with the Dos-si-dos’33 girls. They will remain there as long as needed. Will come with a longer report next week as I have a lot of thoughts in my mind about this journey to Japan with her.💚🇯🇵 Have a lovely weekend fellow cultivators! Peace🏻

I really failed at the beginning of this grow with not putting up any kind of netting or trellis. I’ve had to put bamboo in the pots and and wrap string around that way the branches can rest on it. I’ve noticed the buds are getting fatter.

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.

New week starts! 🌞05.12.2022 This day began with smell rising. I think flowering starts. There's a few pestels in every knot (but not on a top). Watered my girls with nutrients without 'Roots' stimulator. I should stop to give it a long time ago, I hope it gave no harm. Soon when the odour will become too intensive I'll turn my filters on. It will be very noizy, that's why I want to do this as late as possible. 🌞06.12.2022 'SeaWeed' spraying today. I changed distance to lamps. Now it's 40sm. Temperature didn't rise, so it's OK. Upd: I made some LST on evening. It's a last training for them, I guess. 🌞07.12.2022 Pre-flowering stage started! I turned on third 100W lamp. Now it's 300W total. Fed my girls with GHE pre-flowering nutrients complect. Sprayed with 'SeaWeed', as usual. 🌞08.12.2022 Today I came home from my job to see both girls increased in their high dramatically, +5cm in 24hrs. Maybe it's because of feeding, maybe lights, maybe auto flowers act like this, I don't know. But I saw larger distance between knots there. I was forced to do one more LST procedure (result is on photo). Also, I sprayed my 'BPPa's' with 'SeaWeed' (as usual) and moved pots closer to each other to place them in a gaps between three lamps of mine. I'll feed them tomorrow. 🌞09.12.2022 Today I noticed brown tips on the my babies leaves. #1 has alot of it and #2 kinda few. I considered to water them with 'GHE Clean' solution one time, next time I'll give them half of a nutrients dose. Smell gets stronger. Tomorrow I'll turn my main ventilator with two carbon filters I have from the previous grow. 🌞10.12.2022 Yesterday I flushed my plants with 'GHE Cleen' solution 2ml/l. Today I do nothing. Tomorrow I'll give them 75% from previous feed formula. 🌞11.12.2022 I putted small amount of sulfur in an upper layer of substrate, ~10g/m². Watered my plants with 75% from 'pre flowering' GHE recommendation. Sprayed leaves with 'SeaWeed'. Week ends.

I probably should have flushed for all this last week of flowering or a bit more but didnt expected it to get ready for harvest that quick... I bought a microscope and it shows that all trichomes were milky and about a 10% amber, so only flushed at the last watering a few days before harvesting this beauty.

Already in week 7 of our little experiment! They are all growing slower while prioritizing on thickening their buds. #3 is still and will for ever be a problem, though! But we have definitly learned a lot from our fine ladies so far. The smell is getting better every week, mostly consisting of a sour-apple-ring-aroma, which is actually kinda delicious! Adjusted nutrient intake by increasing the amount of Bio-Grow because #2 showed signs of deficiency by her leaves slowly turning pale. Watering every two days due to them living in that small 4,4L pot and probably having an dense root system by now. This is plant #1/3. She has developed the biggest buds so far, even merging some into one huge bud on a few branches.

👽Salaam to all! Another week has passed. Today I will start with nutritional information this week, I will tell you how I trained my beauty and what basic fertilizers I use. 👋This week I made a new solution, for ~ 9.5 liters of water I used: Liquid Silicone 3 ml 2 milliliters Calcium Magnesium 7.8 Gro, 5.2 Micro, 2.6 Bloom And 6.5 ml pH Down I got 666ppm and 5.5 pH. I immediately poured 8 liters into the system, and within a week I topped up the leftovers and adjusting the PH from time to time. Additionally, on the sheet, I use stimulants Root Booster, Energy Spell, Fulvic. 💪Now about training: At the beginning of the week, I did super cropping, a technique that involves breaking the stem of a plant to inflict minor damage and stress on it. And as we know, the natural response to stress in our plant is the production of cannabinoids. Therefore, by properly sprinkling the branches of the plant, we will kill two birds with one stone: we will get an effective bush shape and increase the potential of the cones. I also did this so that the side branches grow back faster and the plant does not receive early stress from the cut off head. At the end of the week, I did the topping, as the plant continued to grow well and reached the 6 floors I needed. Topping (from the English verb to top - to cut; in Russian it is also used "to stomp") - a cut of the top of the plant between the nodes (internodes / pairs of leaves). Such training is carried out when the plant already has nodes. This breaks the classic herringbone shape of the plant, giving the nodes light and air. And the plant, instead of concentrating all its forces on the central cola, begins to pay attention (read energy and nutrients) to new growth points, which will later become colas. 🙌And finally, I'll tell you about fertilizers: We need to start with this: GHE Flora Series (now called Terra Aquatica in my country), consisting of three components and developed in California in the mid 70s of the last century. Since then, its formula has been improved many times. This drug is able to give a plant everything that it needs at all stages of its growth by varying the proportions of its components and their concentration. It contains all the necessary useful elements and trace elements. FloraGro. This component provides the plant with vigorous growth during the growing season. FloraBloom. During the growth period, this component allows the formation of the roots of the plant culture. In addition, it has a positive effect on his general condition. This component acts most effectively during the flowering and fruiting period, when its capabilities are realized one hundred percent. FloraMicro. This component is considered basic. Its main task is to feed the plants with all the required elements in the form of chelates. They include sub-trace elements, which are secondary substances. FloraMicro contains buffering particles to help stabilize the acidity (pH) of the solution. 🙏Thanks to everyone who reads my report and gives feedback. This is very important and makes me happy. Feel free to ask questions or make recommendations. Next week I will talk about the supplements and stimulants I use, as well as show the effects of my workouts. See you soon. Peace for everyone! ✊

Not really much to report as I'm now just waiting to give her a good trim once the stretch is done... Moved around to get the ones under the 300 under the 6 and vice versa to level out the growth as the ones under the 600 are more rapid Shooting out pistills everywhere looki g absolutely fabulous lol... smell is to die for you just wanna smoke it right now!! Went up a bit on the feed as still not showing any signs of visable nute burn so were tryna push her without going over the edge looking really healthy and just about to give then a feed before these pics.. Really cant wait till shes done because what a treat she is keep an eye out for next weeks update when we do our flower period defoliation to get as much light to her budsites coz that's all we want! Peace ladies and gents thanks for the love on here and the instagram page it's much appreciated!

1st week of flower went well. Only fed tap water every 2 days as needed. Kept an eye on the temps n humidity level to keep it between 60°-80° n 40%- 60%. Lowered the lights to 10" from tops to increase light intensity during flowering. Had some good growth this week. No issues so far easy grow. Couple of weeks togo . Will update next week on the organic grow.

This week was a little late due to the holiday. This is the week RSQ Wedding Cake flipped to flower. I accidentally super cropped her when trying to bend a branch over. After that she started drinking a whole lot more (hence the underwatered pictures)

July 30, - Last week of Veg from the look of the plant, its heading into flower - plant has had its 1st meal w/ Veg nutes reduced, 2nd meal w/ Bloom nutes introduced. - Next meal posted above. 31st, - branch-bending and some fresh compost on the plant base. (= tv dinner for a couple weeks) Aug 1 - started the day with some LST and the top of this plant is now pretty darn wide and level. Yesterdays bending was well timed. After only 2 LST sessions on the Canopy, its a different more receptive plant heading into Flower - last transition meal fed; 3 gallons. Next meal, its bloom nutes from here on out Aug 2nd - when gentle-bending becomes kinky… the plant looked great after the LST. This morning I saw a great opportunity and it involved More aggressive tactics and saw some more aggressive kinking & super-cropping. - plant had a nice “South-facing” slope. Aug 3 - woke up to a beautiful plant, with a legitimate level canopy. Bring on the Blossoms, Jack is down to 38” again Got rid of the last Sucker in the grow. No touch now lol, what you see is what you get Aug 4 - next meal posted above… - clipped the lower suckers on ea Cola branch to help keep the business on the end

Had to take a hiatus for about a week or two. But now I'm back in full swing! The girls are all swimming along great! I believe in my last update I discussed wanting to main line this plant. But instead I'll do some lollipopping and topping. I figure that would be less traumatic than performing a main-line this late in it's growth. The one sweet zombie clone I got to root is coming along awesomely. I've been feeding compost tea to establish benis and now their growth has really picked up. I'm really worried about how crowded it will get in this tent, so I may end up putting my clones outside once we have vegetative conditions outdoors. Either way, I'll just run with it lol. Cheers growmies! - RWI 😶‍🌫️ 😎
