Day 8 - A week since they poped & 4 plants are now fully viables , the 2 others aren't really strong so let's see if they survive. 6 plants out of 12 seeds : 50% germ rate Day 10 - They doing weel , only 1 is still weak but the 5 others are coming along nicely Day 12 - Leaves are bigger. , next week they'll go in their final pot 7L or 11L for a full Outdoor run. No feeding , just clear water Day 14 - They are now strong enough to be transplant in their final 7L pots. I'll also start my feeding schedule on day 15.

Using Blimburn seeds this round for the first time. Excited to see how they grow! 24h soak then into 500ml pots for a couple weeks. Also made a few changes in the tent, new TerraBloom filter and placement in tent, fans, watering system, etc.

Week started off good. 8 days in and we have great bud set . Tropicanna is such a fast flowering plant that in 8 days I have my poms beginning to show . Let’s goooo

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.

All the plants are building buds. This herercane has big pistils just like the jack herer parent. Hoping the sugar cane brings some elevated frost to it. Gave them a little beastie bloomz. I cut them off the maxigro today since the leaf tips are burning. Other than that everything is going smooth.

Update

Snow panda is another atlas seeds strain that has amazed me with how awesome she grew an how frosty she got she us ending week 5 an is going into flush to harvest end of week 6 begining week 7

Buds getting thicker now. Doesn’t look the best due to the overdose but is frosty and will see how she smokes.

Week 8 in the books, cruising to the finish line two more hard watering each and 48 hrs of darkness starting Friday. Genetics: Natty Roots Seed Co Instagram: @green_house_lab

CONTEST SWEETSEEDS DARK DEVIL AUTO GROWER ALIEN WEEK 7

Looks like she'll be growing some serious leaves, some solar panels to soak up all that light. She'll be staying indoors just incase the Blueberry OG ends up being an outdoor male.

Pruned and started ferts this week. 0 sign of insects, we are good, for now....

She took off like a rocket. This week she’s definitely growing day by day. I bought a cctv to monitor my plants while I’m not at home. She loves the nutrients I’m giving her. I’ll probably grow her for about 1.5 feet in height and flip her until she can cover the entire 2x2 tent. We’ll see in the next weeks

Como estamos , aquí seguimos de confinamiento pero entre buenos humos y hoy toca actualizar las farm cheese de genofarm, A estas alturas e de decir que ya entramos en la recta final y estoy completamente satisfecho con esta variedad.

Esta semana Añadi overdrive importante al final de una floración, para conseguir mejores resultados, nos vemos la semana que viene, buenos humos fumetillas.

Lots and lots of flowers. 😍 They are smelling really awesome. The buds are getting extremely sticky and its only day 53 sohey have plenty of time too swell up. I know my light set up isn't optimal but these girls don't seem to mind much. My yield might suffer slightly but the girls are happy and that's what matters most. Let me tell you guys a secret.... I have tried Ocean Forest and Happy Frog and... Fox Farm Strawberry Fields Potting Soil is the bomb for Autoflowers. This is just my first time using it so more research is needed but wow this stuff seems to grow um massive.

Budding up nicely. Will make banana peel tea this week and apply during week 5 for a boost to flower.

Candyman is now 99 days old! Day 49 of flower and they are looking unbelievably beautiful and smelling crazy strong. I am aiming to do one more feed and then a 7-10 day flush if they are all ready anyway. I really am gutted i couldn't take cuts of pheno 3 😭 all in all I'm super happy with this run. Update: day 53 of flower and they just look unbelievable 😍 nearly time for a 7-10 day flush. I've now lowered the light intensity for the final weeks

After folding the main stem due to the excessive length .... this doll immediately recovered towards the direction of the sun .... The colors of her .... Fantastic

She keeps expoding, not that tall though at just 13" tall Ready to flower in 3 days. at day 31 . Root mass looks amazing, all white, no sign of any issues. Your thoughts?
