Day 73....gave her a flush today with some ph6.0 water. I'm noticing some spots on some of her leaves(I'll share more pictures of them). There's white hairs everywhere. So that deficiency might be a low pH. I don't know why my medium is getting so acidic. Did a flush and added some lime, it helped the last time. Hopefully I see this plant through flowers. Day 76....this plant is just loving life right now. Bus sites are getting bigger day by day. There's at least 10 bud sites, hopefully they all turn out to be fat and sticky. Day 77... doing good, no complains. Had a low pH run off earlier this week but I fixed asap.

22.05: The plants beautifully rebounded and made up for previous inconveniences. Except for two of them, all the new nodes are growing healthy and vibrant. I had to give them a good dose of water and increase the humidity to 63-72%. Mycorrhiza and a bit of nitrogen did the trick with two rounds of watering. I also raised the lamps to 80-70 cm above the top of the plants. We'll see what happens soon. I'll probably switch them to flowering in a few days.

Hi all. Welcome to this run withbthe Viparspectra XS1500 which i was kindly sent to try by their helpful rep Valerie. As I have a fairly good space to use for my main grow , it seemed an ideal time to explore a few options while I wait for space to appear following upcoming harvests. The opportunity hit at a good time and has now driven the future play time. lol The light is a full spectrum 150W( at the socket) , Dimmable and very well made unit. As summer is here now , my concerns of more heat being an issue have stopped me from adding my other light so the smaller 2ftx2ft area covered by the XS1500 is a good option , The heatsink is built into the case design with a finned top to dissipate the heat so no noisy fans. Switching it on to full power was a nice surprise as the footprint was way wider than I had expected and the actual coverage is even better for my Nursery to harvest plan.... I am growing autos perpetually at present and have been able to throughput the plants with just 2 lights and using the overlaps at the edges to bring seedlings along to veg/flowering, as harvesting is finishing. The timing had been working well but the plants were getting smaller towards the last runs . I gave it some thought and Rh % came to mind. With the perpetual runs not having a higher rh in their veg periods due to other plants needing a lower Rh% in flower , the vapour pressure deficit (vpd) was not within veg periods healthier range. This current run has exploded and filled my normal space very quickly which in turn means I cannot use the same principle as the last perpetual run of bringing the next ones along ready for the exchanges. The XS1500 takes care of this issue with it being perfect for an initial nursery light that is easily covering all the new seedlings but is also able to cover my experimental "5 plant 1 Pot" attempt. I have placed 5 of my own autob seeds from a previous seeding in a single 60 L pot and intend to strip them to their 4th nodes and only allow 2 mains per plant to develop and flower. Inam hoping to have 10 mains growing in it that will be under the xs1500 solely as the other plants outgrow the lights footprint and space they are in. They will go into the main grow space once able so i can really see how well this new light can flower with the 10 mains to fill the space. Until that point , I will diary as we go and see what we can achieve.

Shame on me… habe den taupunkt am morgen deutlich unterschätzt. Täglich steigt die LF phasenweise bis auf 95%. Solar ist praktisch, Zelt darf aber nicht draußen stehen! Der grow hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht, trotz einiger kleiner Fehler und Unachtsamkeiten meinerseits! Die Damen sind super und werden wieder in den Stock zurückkehren, konnte sie leider nicht voll bis zum Ende bringen ca 2 Wochen zu früh. Nächste mal weniger Pflanzen oder mehr entlauben und mehr umlauft dazu. Komme vom outdoor Growen und habe enorm viel Neues kennengelernt! Banana’s & painkiller XL sind noch im Spiel ohne jeglichen Schaden oder Betroffene stellen von Schimmel. 🐝

Hey Growers. It’s going great around here. These girls are happy, healthy and growing like mad. They’ve chunked up so much that they’re starting to lay down. It’s just a couple at the moment so I’ll keep an eye on them and see if intervention is needed. The trichomes are so gritty it feels like table salt between your fingers and the Cali has a orange/lemon citrus and woody scent. The Jack is sour skunk and the cookies Kush is a sweet sugary scent. I’m not 100% sure if they’re fox tailing from light stress or just natural Kush characteristics. I’ll be keeping an eye out for hermie’s and stress. I’ve added some Green Planet Rezin, as I think it’s awesome and helps with aroma and makes oily terps. I’m thinking this will be my last top dress and I’ll probably just do half dose and top up with monster bloom for the next couple waters then drop everything except cal and Rezin. Happy Growing 🌱

Seems like she just needs maybe a week or max 2 weeks to finally be done. Unfortunately another whoopsie happend. Due to storm winds I put her inside for 2 days. On the day where I wanted to put her back outside, I was gone for 30 seconds and one of my rabbits did catch one of the two biggest branches. I trimmed it ready for drying.

So far so fantastic for these little girls, they are well on their way and have had a great week. Our White Russian is in beautiful form, her growth is tight and though she is small there is much going on. Fractal is a tiny girl but she is stunning, this one is taking her time but she is in a groove. As for the Opium, she is healthy, happy, and ready to grow on.

Fast Buds C.C. growing strong!! She's a beauty so far. I expect the big pre-flower stretch to kick in any minute now. I love how she's doing so far, definitely another success for Fast Buds! 👍

The tallest pheno is ready and being flushed for a couple of days now, rhe others are close but still consuming nutrients at a strong rate , I think they will take at least 1 more week. They smell very much like gelato as a group but are all very different from one another .

Everything’s going great, but winter has arrived, causing some temperature and humidity fluctuations. The plant doesn’t seem to mind, though. She’s forming flowers beautifully, and I’m super happy with how she’s developing!

Hi guys, some surprises this week. We are now on transition to Flowering period, i have already seen some pre flowers, really smalll. Everything is doing really great , just one plant is with some signals of high fertilization, but nothing critic, its the most small of them. I m watering the plant almost every day, yesterday ( 19/04) i watered with 500ml of water mixed with Bio nova autoflower supermix, and RQS bloom tablets, like 1/8 of tablet per liter. They are drinking a lot now. I will keep every day watering with around 350 - 500 ml per plant, i will vary that according to the plant size and the conditions of the soil. In terms of heat, its doing ok, i added now one more ventilation inside the tent to keep more air moving around the plants. This week, i have also done more LST trainings, really small adjustments, i will do more LST when i start to see big flowers. My plant on the balcony suffered a lot because of my cats ahaha, she is now inside on a window , is recovering but slow growing, she stretched because of lack of light. Today i also decided to switch my main LED 600 W to only red light, only bloom, i was on full spectrum but i will keep for some days on red to give more height to the plant , i also improved the light distance to 70 cm, before was 60 cm. Now the height is around 15 - 20 cm, i want to improve a little the most small ones. Next week, flowering week 😜 I have one doubt , should i defoliate some fan leaves? or that procedure is only on advanced bloom phase ? And should i Keep the Full spectrum, Veg and Bloom LED on, Blue and red. ?

🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 Welcome to week 2! Dedication is the task now, and I really enjoy caring for the little fish cookie.. 😍 I can clearly see how increasing the EC will bring the leaves up. So interesting. Giving her EC 0.9 now and flushing the whole medium every 3 or 4 days, to make sure it always has the intended nutes and not more. 💧 I kind of like coco. 😊 The nutrient solution is always used up much faster than I expected.. I feel in the flow at the moment with this. 🌊 Thanks, growmies, for checking in! 💚 💚 💚 😘 Let's start 2023 with a wave of love and peace! 🙏 ____________________________________________________________________ Strain info: Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. Thanks to the 27% THC, you can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrusy and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more. Bud description Tropicana Cookies Auto produces gorgeous dark purple flowers, so expect really dark buds with gorgeous hues of pink, purple and blue, and thick dark-orange hairs that get completely covered in resin by harvest time, giving them an almost shiny-white appearance.  This variety develops a typical Indica-like structure and very few sugar leaves that will make your trimming sessions a breeze. But make sure to store your trimmings as the gorgeous flowers reek of a mouth-watering blend of lemon peels, orange juice, and sandalwood that gives it almost a citrus candy-like flavor that makes for the most aromatic hash and extractions.Smoke report Thanks to the 27% THC, Tropicana Cookies Auto’s effect starts with an energizing head rush that gets your mind up and running while leaving you in a nice calm state. As the Indica-dominant side kicks in, the powerful cerebral effect gradually moves downwards and hits your whole body with a deep relaxation that leaves you with a joyful stoney sensation that alleviates chronic pain while leaving you in an overall happy and positive state of mind.  It’s the perfect daytime and nighttime strain as it can boost your mood and enhance a night out with friends but can also quiet your mind as you get ready for a good night of sleep. No matter the scenario, expect a powerful high that lasts for hours on end.Plant appearance Tropicana Cookies Auto reaches up to 110cm and develops a tall main cola with shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. You can expect a stocky yet tall main cola with medium-sized side branches and thin fan leaves that fade into a yellowish hue with a beautiful dark purple tint. Thanks to the excellent selection, this variety develops a short internodal spacing that makes the medium-sized flowers look like they’re growing stacked on top of each other. It’s the ideal choice for growers who want to get big yields without having to deal with huge plants, as this monster yielder can produce up to 150g per plant while growing relatively short. Grow tips This variety grows super dense buds so make sure to space out the branches by tying them down, this way you improve airflow which helps prevent mold and other pests. Tropicana Cookies auto reek of a delicious sweet and sour smell so make sure to flush thoroughly to enhance the aromas even more. This terpene heavyweight finishes with lots of resinous sugar leaves that make for fantastic hash and extractions so remember to have your trim bucket ready!Flavor Tropicana Cookies Auto boasts remarkably sweet flavors that resemble a blend of lemon peels and fresh orange juice, with subtle floral undertones that make it the perfect choice for extractors looking for unique terpene profiles. Expect an overall citrusy zest that’ll coat your whole mouth and leave a delicious tropical candy-like flavor aftertaste. The sweet and sour flavors get balanced out with a herbal background that gets stronger as you exhale and gradually opens up, bringing out the whole range of woody, floral, and spicy flavors, making it the perfect choice for the most flavorful extracts. https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/tropicana-cookies-auto _________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! ❤️ If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) ✨ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Mills Nutrients Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cm³/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow + Bloom to pH 6.2 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡 🐟 🐠 🐙 🐡

Hi guys, First off I just want to say thanks to everyone that has commented. After the issues last week I flushed all 3 plants on Sunday. They then all had around 500ml of nutrient fed water on Monday which actually gave a little run off. I also added a fan down by the passive inlet pointed to push some more air around the tent and this has worked well. Run off was just about hitting the 6.0 mark when I flushed so I am watering at 6.8. I now have a tds meter so will be adding this in when I do water next. The plants have been bouncing back well as you can see from the photos. The Zkittlez has a new lease of life and has stretched out well. The black twisted growth on the blueberry mango and gorilla infested gelato stopped and the plants seem to have recovered well but do look maybe a little hungry? Dark green growth which made me think nitrogen but then they are recovering from that weird growth from the lockout so this could be part of this recovery. I will keep an eye judge how they react from the next watering. I am really happy with the lst. It looks as though I am going to have a nice even canopy so fingers crossed for some nice buds. I am waiting for the soil to dry out a little more before the next water/feed. This should be Sunday by the feel of the soil. I am sticking to a wet/dry cycle. It has been a little hot (around 25 degrees) so I have now got an inlet fan that I will be installing on the weekend to pull more fresh air in. I can then get rid of the extra fan I have on the floor by the passive intake. The humidifier has hardly kicked in so I think it is time to introduce my dehumidifier within the next week or so. I’ll start by putting it on for an hour every 4 hours and see how that effects the environment. If anyone has any recommendations please comment and let me know. Thanks everyone :)
