Day 85. Because she still had mostly clear and some milky trichomes last week, I decided to continu giving her nutes. Also her official flowering time (vision seeds info) is 8-9 weeks. And since see seems to be a bit slow with everything, I thought it was a good idea to keep nuting her. 5ml/L seems a bit too much though, because I notice more burned leafs. Last week (11) the fan leafs started to get lighter green. Now they are turning yellow and are hanging loosely. Is it benificial too take them of from her at a certain moment? I will check trichomes every other day and will probably will start the flush now, because the trichomescheck today showed some amber colours I didn't noticed earlier. I would love to hear from experienced trichomescheckers if there are indeed the first signs of trichs getting amber or not. Also I still got a lot of clear trichs. My goal is too harvest her when most trichomes are milky and maybe 10 to 20 percent amber. Day 86, nooooooo budrot 🤒🤕😢. Cut off the infected buds. Put vinegar on her cutt wounds. I will keep her indoors with a blowing fan during tbe night and check buds daily. Day 87, This morning I noticed a 3rd cola with a tiny bit off budrot. It was close to another one with budrot I already cut off. I cut this 3rd one also and treated the cutwound with vinegar. I will check regurlarly and probably will harvest too early in these days to prevent the loss of my whole harvest. I am currently drying the healthy parts of the buds I cut off.

Week 3 stuff started happening. Following their first real feeding, growth was fairly explosive. Plants still seem short, no stretch, but 5 finger leaves are appearing on almost all of them on the 19th. Yesterday, the 18th, I opened the tent and was greeted by the faint, but definite smell of a light lemon scent. There was no mistaking it the next time I opened the tents; they are starting to smell. Coco still seems moist from sunday's feeding today on Wednesday, even the top, so wet dry cycle will continue. The plants got the full additive line as well (1/2 strength). In addition to the Photosynthesis Plus, Sm-90, Drip Clean, Roots Excelerator, and CalMagic, we have started using additives according to GH's "Expert Program" because I am an expert. 😇 I claim no such thing, I am lucky. If it is working, I am likely to keep doing so and maybe start to overclock it a bit, maximize potential. Actually, I originally was not going to use the expert stuff, but I kept reading people with colas the size of whiffle ball bats posting how the additives really took their grows to the next level, so I decided not to waste time and to jump right in the deep end. And deep it is, as after mixing 15 individual gallons of 13 different nutes & additives (if you count PH down as an additive, and I do although I may switch to white vinegar), I realized exactly how big an undertaking this is going to be. I do look forward to being able to tweak the recipe as I get experience; that seems like an amazing long term benefit. Anyway, we have added, at half strength, Floralicious Plus (perhaps why they started to smell 2 days later), Armor SI, and FloraBlend from GH. We have also added Xnutrients Ful-Potential at half strength. And honestly, I was expecting to have to triage a plant or 2 for Nute burn, but nope; they looked at me like they were daring me to give them more. I think I am going to give them a full schedule of early veg GH nutes next feeding, and potentially full strength additives too. I will likely keep additives on half if I go to full nutes to better diagnose bad reactions. If they eat the full nutes and beg for more, we will do full additives next feeding. If they love that, move onto late veg nutes maybe. I am not sure when to transition to late veg nute schedule, if anyone knows the correct indicators on autos, please comment and let me know. Thanks. One of the problems with my grow is that I stuffed the plants in the tent without any kind of symmetry, thinking they all wouldn't germ, or all be females, or not survive, backup plan hoping that the spread of the light would be sufficient. My Seemango does not like this plan, and as one of the plants off to a side, started to lean over quite a bit into a more central location. That did not work out so well for her. On monday, 1 day after the 1st big feeding, I came into the tent and my Seemango was laying down. Her leaves were still awesome looking, but she was totally laying down. I explained to her that she was an autoflower, and that she didn't have time to lay around, and that she needed to get up, and get back to work. I gently encouraged her by making a splint out of a twist tie and she seemed to appreciate it (and looked better by Wednesday morning). Now I am REALLY glad I decided to grab some Armor SI and I hope she uses some of it to make that stem a little thicker, not too thick too quick, because: It's time to start thinking about training, both mine and the plants, as far as LST! Not sure if they are tall enough. I raised the light about an inch and a half lTuesday night, they seemed to respond. might go up further and see if that helps Seemango too. I like this site. I looked at the feeding graphs after I plugged my own numbers in and duh, i SEE why they started GROWING after I gave them that feeding during week 3. Note to self, perhaps start FloraGro a week earlier next time. And to think, I almost didn't bother to plug my own numbers in. What a wonderful feature to include, graphing the nutes, and already proving this place superior to forums. Thanks growdiaries. So I think my sluggish growth is related to VPD There are some minor leaf twisting on a couple plant. I don't think it will damage them as there is no color issues and the time lapse clearly shows them growing, but unless I can figure out how to deal with this problem, it is going to limit my yields. I will post some specif pics shortly. I am going to sleep on this. I never even heard of VPD and I thought I was very well researched on potential problems. Since I live in a hot, DRY area, I specifically researched problems I might have and was preemptive with a humidifier. I thought that this would be a good thing eventually as it will prevent certain problems during flower, but this VPD issue threatens veg. I though 60% RH was great, but the VPD formula has broadsided me. I will take a couple pics to help others know what this looks like. In every other way the plants look great, so I know it won't kill my grow. But it has now become a limiting factor and time to veg might be running low. With an auto, its her decision to make when to put out, so there may not be much I CAN actually do due to the time constraints. Better the autos than the Durban, tho. Pics of leaf bending are up, but I may have been more dire than I needed to. It is fairly isolated on the plants. Summer looks to be much more mild aside from a couple challenging weeks, and the temps are measured via lasers on the underside of the leaf. when doing so (i am not sure why i actually had said laser besides it being cool when i bought it), the numbers were in a more realistic place. I likely will not be able to control vpd in the short term 24 hours a day, but i don't think it is as bad as i did last night I also noticed the stems were getting woody besides being short, so i just got over it and did an LST spike to bend the plants, well, all except the Seemango as she already tried to lay down. Seriously tho, she has recovered well and might be a candidate in a few days if she keeps up the pace. I will be monitoring the girls for stress today from the lst but they really feel healthy, so i am not too worried. time lapse will be effected for sure. i hope i did it right. pics later after they perk up a bit to close out week 3 as we celebrate their 3rd week birthday and the beginning of week 4. Well, about 8 hours after the LST the plants are sticking straight up again. I am not sure I got that auxin action happening, plus the anchor for the LST is the Coco which wont hold during watering. They arent ready for feeding yet (still heavy), so I might get a little benefit on long term a stem bend. I ordered some clips for the fabric bag to perhaps help. I am assuming since the internode spacing is so short, I might have to LST single branches for any effect. We shall see, it is a learning experience for sure. I did raise the lights last night before lights out to about 21 inches (suggested 18) to encourage some stretch, but I don't see it. I hope I didn't sabotagee myself moving the lights away. I also see some slight calcium deficiency in the Kush and Speed Bud #2. I will likely feed tomorrow even though the bags still feel somewhat weighty, but I am going to do a full or somewhat larger dose of CalMAgic. The 10 gallon mixing bucket has arrived, and even though the new measuring cup for the larger volume won't be in until the weekend, it should still be easier and more efficient feeding. I guess this wraps week 3 up. see you on week 4

Week 8 is approaching then I'm kicking them out to get fimiliar with nature. For another 8 weeks of flower. This has been a great veg with a surprising fast in stretch of these strains.

Okay guys I harvested this girl on day 75 and she was ready in my opinion. she came out to 122.48 grams which is just great! These buds are so sticky and loaded with terps. Im excited to find out what this strain is! Thanks Fastbuds! 🙏0

Anybody with bit more experience make a comment please one seems to be yellowing alot, defficency or coming up for harvest ? Also a mix of pics from both auto ducks

Still going well. Decided to use 3ml/l pk 13/14 and I thing I saw a difference. They showed sex(female) after three days 12/12 and lots of stretch. At least 6" in a week.

Still vegging, no preflower yet. Spreading her out till mid-flower. Hopefully she'll be a big girl. Accidentally snapped a branch in half attempting to supercrop. Taped it up, looking good as new... Been switching to led when temps from mh are too high...

Been doing a lot of Super Cropping over this last week. Think it slowed the growth down but allows me to really shape the plant the way I want. Gave them some tea yesterday. With fish bone meal, kelp meal, and molasses

So it's the start of week 3 , to say the plants had a very randomised environment up until this point , and 2 plants are in 1 pot ...... all 3 aks are looking good . Soo I'm going to keep them in the room , can just make friends with my new strains I want to put in there .... sure they will get along

Week 4 veg in a 4L pot looking nice and bushy another couple of weeks then they getting their ass transplanted in bigger pots. The Topping and LST tranning working pretty well i see 😉It allows the lower heads to raise up and benifit from the light exposure.

0 cambios, ya que las fotos de la semana pasada en el seguimiento, fueron a 2 dias antes de la 8va semana, por temas de trabajo tarde en sacar y subir fotos, lo.siento amores mios ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ pazzzz y atentos a más fotitos durante el engorde

Well we started flushing the day after we updated the last diary, so it is our end week for our first grow and I must say, it's been a roller-coaster but we made it there in the end lmfao! Critical kush has been amazing to grow, she has stood strong throughout all the stress I've put her under with my learning mistakes and she has still turned out superb, I'm looking forward to smoking her if she smokes as good as she smells then ill be amazed! The smell she gives off is a fruity, sweet smell with a strong undertone, hard to explain but it gets my taste buds going! 6 hours later and hella sticky fingers... not my usual type lol... We have the girls down and trimmed, the wet weights are below from each plant and we have separated them in different tiers in the drying net so we can show an accurate wet and dry weight from each plant, intrigued to know how much we will loose once dry as the wet weight is a whopping 1,405g!! Plant one weighing in at 261g Plant 2 is weighing at 242g Plant 3 is weighing at 236g Plant 4 is weighing at 321g Plant 5 is weighing at 345g 51 ounce wet weight with slight stems. Will update harvest section next week once dry :) Happy growing!

Video date 7-13-2017, day 20 of Flowering Slight nitrogen toxicity, will be lowering the amount of Elite Garden Nutrients Base A by 50% to see if that helps fix the problem. I also decided to pollinate the entire box this week with male pollen from the same strain from plants that were removed from the box weeks ago, to make some F2 hybrid cross seeds. Strain is Nanda Devi(The Real Seed Company) X Skunk 1 (Spliff Seeds) F1 Hybrid cross. Started seeds outdoors and sprouted on May 10, seeds went indoors under 11 and 13 on June 16th. Check me out on youtube to see more of this grow https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvBA-kG70hHVrnBxoHBHBuw/videos Like 0

The Auto NL continuing to flower, she's growing secondary branches, but not so much in size. And the MobyDick auto enjoying the hydro, she didn't get a single leaf eaten by slugs! Good girl!
