First week of flower has ended! 😊 Watering stays the same for now as shes stretching, will slowly transition to bloom ferts over the next couple of waterings. Still 6L, ~6PH, 1ml/L roots fading out right now, 5ml/L Grow. No Calmag as she seems to have recovered nicely with the topdress and one time dosage last week.😎 Only thing i do for now is ongoing minor defoliations. She is shaping up to become quite a BUSH! 😍 See you all in the next year! 👻

Still very small... but the cube are small too, there were little white roots (not a lot) on the bottom and side. As the plastic container was larger I was afraid they got some direct light. Also... I had a fail with the heating control and temperature jumped at 32º for 8h during the night! The rock wool cubes dried and hope they didn't suffer to much stress. 23/01/2022: no grow... don't get why it's so slow. Note: the nutrients in power are expressed in g/L (not ml/L). I have to say I'm not pretty convinced but still give a try with those kind of nutrients. I have the "chance" to get a water at home with pH 7 and Ec 0.05, pretty much a free osmosis treatment!

Day 128. It took me almost 48 hours with two short naps to sort all 8 girls. Result not bad, think easy will brake 1g/W, I have 720 setup, but one light is limping, so it's closer to 600. Think harvest will be in 900 area. It's 90 W per plant only and I think one girl will go above 150 easy ! I doubt I will post Tangies weight in statistics, don't want to screw that strain, she could be way way WAY bigger !!! Happy Growing !!!

Was good

As you can see she in now in full flower. She is already starting to frost up a little. I really hope she stretches soon. I expect either this week or next. Day 38 - She didn't even stutter after her major defoliation. I also adjusted some of the lst to open it a bit more. I'm really hoping for a stretch real soon.

Hi

Day 65 - Pics/Vids..... Everything looks good......stress bent them into position and defoliated ..... lots of flowering now..... ..... hadn't actually measured them for awhile, and updated the height, 44 cm .... tested out the lights higher, 40cm away, and seemed to slow down growth... so moved em back, 20-25cm... watering is the same, bottom saucer feeding, 850-1000 ppm dutch master one flower 5-8ml/lt.... actually using about 12-15ml / 1.8l....... Day 70 (10 wks) - Pulled em both out of tent, flushed em and trimmed em abit, took some pics/vids in the sunshine. ...... the soil started smelling bad, - stale, moldy, damp, soil smell..... so i did a full flush out on both.... noticed afew gnats, been afew since the start, but haven't really been many.... i'm going to try out a UV bulb, and also a usb uv led bug trap ..... just ordered them.... posted a pic of both... see if they are any good..... 😎

In questa settimana la crescita é stata veloce anche grazie ai fertilizzanti. LST ho dovuto sistemarlo ogni giorno perché continuavano a crescere nuove gemme e l’apicale tornava sempre su. Il tronco si é irrobustito tanto.

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.

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Pour la germination j'utilise la technique du sopalin Pour faire germer vos graines dans du sopalin, vous aurez besoin : Un Tupperware avec couvercle Du Sopalin, ou autre quel papier de cuisine qui soit épais et qui retienne l’eau Un verre d’eau Si c’est l’hiver, vous placerez le Tupperware près d’une Box ou d’un Modem pour donner un peu de chaleur Étapes de la germination: faire germer vos graines de cannabis dans du sopalin La première chose à faire est de tapisser le fond du Tupperware avec du sopalin, 2-3 feuilles suffiront. Si vous ne mettez qu’une feuille, elle captera peu d’eau et pourra sécher, vous mettrez donc plus de feuilles que pas assez. Une fois les feuilles placées, versez l’eau du verre dessus, mais pas trop, juste de quoi imbiber toute la surface couverte par les feuilles. Vous aurez ainsi l’eau suffisante pour faire germer les graines sans avoir besoin d’essorer la feuille de papier. Une fois les feuilles humidifiées, mettez vos graines par-dessus, et recouvrez le tout avec une autre couche de quelques serviettes. Une fois en place, humidifiez cette nouvelle couche. faire germer vos graines de cannabis dans du sopalin Lorsque vous graines seront placées entre les 2 couvertures de feuilles, fermez le Tupperware hermétiquement pour que l’eau reste bien dedans et que l’ensemble ne sèche pas malgré la chaleur. Si vous êtes en hiver lorsque vous mettrez vos graines à germer, ou que les températures sont inférieures à 20°C, vous placerez le Tupperware sur votre Box ou modem jusqu’à germination, mais toujours en évitant le contact avec la lumière. Si vous êtes dans une zone au climat tempéré ou chaud, vous n’aurez qu’à placer le récipient avec les graines à l’ombre dans une armoire ou une caisse de rangement. Toutes les 24h, vous devrez vérifier l’état d’avancement de la germination. Si quelques-unes sont sorties mais pas d’autres, prenez celles qui ont germé pour les planter, laissez les autres dans le Tupperware et vérifier de nouveau le lendemain.

Eccoci qui... Per problemi di lavoro ho tardato un pò la pubblicazione delle foto, la piccola è molto vigorosa ed emana un forte odore.. Già si può vedere la resina che si inizia a formare sulle cime in alto... Sono estremamente soddisfatto della sua crescita finora e sono sicuro che mi riserva sorprese, odore veramente intenso. Grazie a tutti per il supporto, NON VEDO L'ORA DI RACCOGLIERLA 🔥🌲❤️

One more week I think, just flushed today and checked the run off the PH is at 6,4 and the PPM on 5 of the 6 plants was 330 the one with the burned tips had 665 not to my surprise, but that would explain the nutrient burn, the trichomes are cloudy and there are a lot of amber as well so want to flush this week and hope the fade starts so I can harvest with a fully flushed plant and a good ratio of cloudy to amber trichomes. I know now that I should not have given that last feeding a week ago and should of started the flush but live and learn, 1st time growing these, also the time lapse did not take a whole week not recorded I am super pissed, I will up load a real time video in a day or 2 under regular light, till then hope you all in the states get your Stimulus Check this week end, C ya

Day 14 she’s loving life. I learned our ph was coming out at ph 8.5 or over so we got that handled and since she’s exploded. I’ve very excited to have her in the arsenal again.

6/11/22 Today starts week 9, and the 3rd week of flower. I may have a problem in my grow tent! Stella’s tent mate might be a male, or a hermie. I don’t know, because I’ve never grown one or seen one except for pictures. I was planning on going out of town for the Fourth of July for a few days, but I was wondering how my plants would fare. I skipped 1 day between feedings and she looked absolutely terrible! She was so dry, and all her leaves were limp. She truly looked scary. I’m only uploading a couple pics of her today. I’ll add more tomorrow to see how she bounced back. Anyway, the point of all this is that I told my wife that I was going to skip a day and see how they looked. After seeing the results, my wife was not happy. Our trip may get canceled because I’m a responsible grower. 🤷‍♂️ Today I was going to give her an entire gallon, but she only took about 14 of 16 cups before the runoff was more than sufficient. I felt it was a waste to give her more since it would just run out. I’m still using the mid-bloom nutrients. So today she received 14 cups or 0.875 gallon of the following: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 4.7 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 8.5 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml The initial pH was 5.8. I added 3 ml of pH UP which adjusted the pH to 6.3. I didn’t even bother with my TDS meter today. I didn’t need any added frustration. Runoff was sufficient, and the pH was 6.3. Honestly, it seems like the first bit of solution just ran through her. The tent was warm at 86.9F, but humidity was low at 36%. I’m really worried about her tent mate being a male or hermie and spreading that to her and the other plant (Sir Jack - auto) that just joined them in the flowering tent. Hopefully I’ll know for sure by tomorrow. Happy growing everyone! 6/12/22 I wanted to add some more photos to show how she bounced back after feeding. The temperature in the tent was a few degrees cooler today because it’s starting to rain here. The humidity went up to 54% from 36% over night just because she was fed. Her largest tent mate (Rocket Fuel) turned out to be a male and was removed and placed outside last night. He’s enjoying the rain right now. I plan to dispose of that later. Stella has room to spread out for a little bit, but I’ll be giving her more company soon. My other diary, “Stella’s Cuatro” are her daughters, and they will be joining her soon. Happy growing everyone! 6/13/22 Today is feeding time once again in The_Good_Twin grow room. I’m going to try and be brief today. Stella took a whole gallon today, and had a wonderful amount of runoff so I can be assured that she has been thoroughly fed. I kept with the same nutrient levels as on the 11th. Look above to see. The initial pH was 5.9. I added 2 ml of pH UP which adjusted the pH to 6.2. Her runoff pH was 5.9. Temperature was 88F, and humidity was 51%. She has reached 45.5 inches tall and is once again almost touching the light. In fact, the branches that I’ve previously bent using HST, are now righted and almost back to the lights. Oh well. I’ll have to think of another way to raise the light or not worry about it. 🤷‍♂️ Happy growing everyone. 6/14/22 Stella is a thirsty girl! She took another gallon of water today mixed with more of the mid-bloom nutrients. I’ve been trying to keep up with her needs so that she makes some super fat and crusty nugs for me at the end of her journey. All of the branches that I performed HST on have grown longer, and turned up, and once again are at the top by the light. I feel like I’m going to have to do it again, but lower down the branch. She’s not going to like it, but kissing the light isn’t going to turn out well! Enough blabbering on… She received: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 4.7 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 8.5 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml The initial pH was 5.8. I added 3 ml of pH UP and adjusted it to 6.3. I’m still not using my TDS meter. There’s a small sense of freedom there. Runoff was about 20%. Her pH was 5.8. The tent temperature was 83F, and humidity was 61%. She’s HUGE, but she’s going to have to make some room, because there’s going to be a large family reunion this weekend. Stella’s Cuatro is going to be moving in. It’s going to be crowded. Happy growing everyone! 6/15/22 I fed Stella another gallon of water today mixed with the mid-bloom nutrients as the day before. Same nutrient levels as above. I calibrated my pH meter today to make sure it’s measurements are correct. The initial pH was 6.3, and didn’t not need adjusting. Runoff pH was 6.1. I’m not even bothering with my TDS meter anymore. Eventually I will, but I’m not in the mood for the frustration that it gives me. The tent temperature was 84.4F, and humidity was 47%. Her bent branches, and one or two additional ones are getting into the light again, so they were taped and bent over again. So, more HST completed to try and keep her at a reasonable height. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t know how I’m going to fit 4 more of her into the tent, but I’ll have to figure a way. Happy growing everyone! 6/16/22 Another day, and another feeding for Stella. The branches that were bent yesterday, as well as the ones that were bent for a 2nd time have all survived (so far), and their ends have started a slow curve upward again. I mixed another gallon of water with the same nutrient levels as the other day. Look above to see what she received. The pH going in was 6.2. The runoff pH was 6.0. The tent temperature was 84.4F, and humidity was 63%. I know all of you are tired of reading it, but she’s a huge plant! I’m hoping for a nice haul of top notch bud when she’s done. However, right now I’m starting to feel a little burnt out from caring for so many plants. Don’t we all wish we had such problems! Happy growing everyone!
