Things really looking good this week did a major defoliation to help with light penetration. Backed off of the Big Bloom because I noticed the tips of some of the leaves were burning. Buds are now starting to form nicely. Very little smell still. Since this is my first inside grow with autos I would love to hear some feedback from some more experienced growers.

Week 1 of veg an this Tropicana Cookies auto is looking good growing by the day under this fold 6 from medic grow can't wait to see her in a couple weeks

Week 2

Typical sativa trim lotsa leavessssss... Dry was pretty easy but a little slow due to dense buds, the indica really comes out there. Easy to grow likes average nuets can get large. Buds extremely dense and hard after dry very pleased

Più ci avviciniamo al raccolto e più sento che ne è valsa la pene investire tempo in questa piantina

We had a couple unseasonably warm days this week, our wood furnace was going when the temps went up. The tent hit 27.5 degrees one day?, which resulted in the heat damage to the leaves. The leaves are also starting to die back faster. I have a feeling they may determine my harvest day instead of my trichomes. Still only some amber, maybe 5-10%, the rest are cloudy with very, very few clear

Wow she grew loads this week!!!!!!! She actually over tripled her height! From 21cm to 69! Incredible. Look at all her lower branches too! The massive internode length means they're almost as tall as the main cola!!!!!!!!

Day 13 Since time change to 12 / 12h. Hey everyone 🤗. They grow beautifully evenly 😍👍. Once again great genetics @SweetSeeds 😃. Both have started to form their flowers. Green House Powder Feeding Bio Bloom was added. (3 g per liter of substrate). Phenotype 1 is already red / purple 😍😍😍. I'm really looking forward to this Grow 😋. I wish you lots of fun with the update, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🍀👏🏼 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Ab Tag 11 haben wir angefangen sie mit einem Minerlischen NPK Dünger (NPK 7-3-5) zu Gießen . Besonderheiten: Die Linsen sind schon einiges gewachsen und werden bis in ca. 10 tagen entfernt -Tag 8 Sie wird. Aber im vergleich zu den anderen ist sie halt immer noch klein :) -Tag 10 sie wird etwas grösser, morgen geben wir ihr etwas Boost :) -Tag 11 Heute hat sie wir ihre grossen schwestern auch etwas Dünger bekommen, mal sehen ob sie etwas besser wächst. -Tag 14 heute wurde unsere kleinste getoppt. Sind gespannt ob in den nächsten Tagen ein stärkeres wachstum kommt.

Week 23 - 29 July 25 July - feed day 27 July feed day ( bloombastic only)

Weekly update on these beauties. They've started the flower phase showing preflowers everywhere. Two have stayed more on the smaller side but still stretching where the 3rd has takin off probably 30in tall. All in all excited for the weeks to come seeing them progress further into flower.

Week 2 of Flower- Plants have been getting defoliated as needed. They have also been fed Mother Earth bloom (x2) & Cal-Mag each feeding. All are reacting well. No light stress.

It's been another easy week in the Fastbuds tent. I've spent most my energy preparing my outdoor grow space for a wild summer. At this point, there's not much I can do except water and watch my plants grow. I've added videos of other plants in relations to the mimosa cake just for visual aid. I also added a photo of my cheese auto.. it's still drying! With the Mimosa cake auto I've been taking fan leaves off slowly for weeks now. This is a very busy plant. She is also going to run later than I expected. She's on day 76 and I suspect 95 to 100 days to finish time. I'll have to keel feeding her bloom nutes for the next few weeks; her 3 gallon bucket ran out of nutrients already. Feeding schedule: water, feed, water, feed Step 1- I'll take an aeration stone and use it to remove the chlorine residual in the water... this only takes 8 - 12 hours depending on water temperature. (I'm a water treatment process operator, I have checked several times in the past with my own Cl2 meters). Step 2 - add Calmag Step 3- add bloom nutes Final step - pH the water accordingly (very important that this is final step) A TDS residual of 500 ppm equals roughly 1 E.C. (I just double it)

Week 4 Update: Plant Growth: Noticed some plants lagging behind by 5-9 days, so I've been focusing on giving extra care to these ones. Implemented Low Stress Training (LST) on the stronger plants, particularly the Gorilla Glue and Gelato varieties, to encourage more even growth. Weather has been a mixed bag – occasional bursts of sunlight, but mostly rainy days. To compensate, I've set up a makeshift box with LED lights to ensure the plants get consistent light exposure. Nutrient Management: Adjusted feeding schedule to once every 2-3 days to provide a balanced mix of nutrients. Using a combination of guano, worm tea, and Grow NPK Autogrow mix to feed the plants, which seems to be working well so far. Considering adding Cal-Mag to the mix to ensure the plants are getting all the nutrients they need for healthy growth. Observations: Despite my efforts, I can't shake the feeling that some of the plants might be experiencing slower growth than expected. It's a bit frustrating, but I'm staying patient and hopeful that they'll catch up soon. Looking Ahead: As I prepare for the next batch of seeds, I'm already thinking about the lessons I've learned from this experience and how I can apply them to future grows. Despite the challenges, I'm feeling optimistic about the future and looking forward to seeing how these plants continue to develop in the coming weeks.

I was not expecting to harvest that much as she was a tiny and quite slow girl, but the final yeld was very good! It was exciting to grow and finally harvest this amazing strain :)

This week went a lot better than last, although still not optimal. After last week's transplant they all did well, as you can see in the time lapse. They do all have one or more deformed leaves and a slight calcium deficiency but look otherwise healthy. Increased base water (RO+calmag) EC from 0.3 to 0.4, feeding 0.7EC in total. At the end of the week, the root systems looked very well developed and I transplanted them into their final 5L pots. Decent so far.

Training as hard as I can
