I pollinated a side bud of this girl and her seeds are developing quickly. Which is exciting for the sake of future grows. Other then that the buds are not super big at all but look super quality so I am happy with how things are progressing. As the week comes to an end the trichromes are really coming in and she is starting to smell very nice. I think one more week of flowering to fatten up a little more and then I will flush to finish. I learned that I started to feed flowering nutes to early and so my first two autos did not get super tall as a result. Learning a lot with my first indoor grow and first time with autos, I read a really solid breakdown of Autoflowers lifecycle that was super informative. I'll leave here, and post it with my final harvest post here. Knowledge is power 😎 LIFECYCLE OF AN AUTO A common question I see is when to switch autos from veg to bloom. Many people are under the impression that as soon as they see the first flowers it's time to switch. Perhaps a little explanation of the life cycle of autos will help to clarify this. Weeks 1 - 3. Once you've started your seeds and they break the surface of the soil, they are in their seedling stage. The first set of leaves to appear will usually single fingered, followed by a second set that may still be single fingered or perhaps 3 fingered. Once that second set appears growth will start to accelerate as the new leaves provide more photosynthesis. This process will continue, more new leaves, faster growth. Depending on the type of soil in use, mild vegetative nutes can be introduced at week 2. By week 3 most plants will start to show their sex. Males will start to produce pollen sacks and females will display pistils. Weeks 4 - 6. The plants are now entering a pre flowering stage. During this time the plants should exhibit explosive growth, often as much as a new set of nodes and 1" vertical growth a day. This is the time when they will gain most of their vertical height. Many people make the mistake of switching from vegetative to flowering nutrients at this point, assuming that since they see flowers it must be the proper time. This is incorrect. If the switch to flowering nutes is made at this time the vertical growth will stop and the plant will put it's energy into producing buds. If you need to keep your plants small, or want them to finish earlier, they by all means switch nutes at this point. But if you want to get the most out of your plants continue feeding vegetative nutes until you see the vertical growth slow and stop. Depending on the strain that will usually be sometime during week 5 or 6. Weeks 7 - 9. By now vertical growth has stopped and the switch to flowering nutrients has been made. The buds will start to fill out and put on weight, becoming hard and tight. Pistols will start to change from white to brown, orange, red, etc. By now the plants will also have developed a strong smell. Toward the end of this phase the large primary and smaller secondary fan leaves will begin to turn yellow. This is an indication that the plant is moving toward the end of it's life. Weeks 10 - 11. At this time flowering nutes should be discontinued and only plain pHed water fed to flush the remaining nutrients from the soil and improve the taste. Yellowing of the fan leaves will continue as the plant draws the stored energy from them. Eventually they will die and fall off. By the time that the smaller leaves that come from out of the buds will also start to turn yellow. Then it's time to harvest. I know that many of you are thinking that the seed bank said the plants will finish in 8-9 weeks, so why are you saying they take 10-11? The claims made by the seed banks are somewhat deceptive. If you switch to flowering nutes at week 3 or 4 the plants can finish in the times the seed banks say but they will remain small and not reach their full potential yield. Years of growing by myself and others has shown that autos do best if you follow this time line. Of course, there will always be variations depending on the strain, the environment, nutrients, etc. This information is meant to only serve as a general guideline.

My method of germination is simple and straight forward. I directly plant my seeds in soil and lightly water. I put it directly in their final 5 gal pot.

Flower41, riego con EC 2.6 y pH 6.3, los cogollos están muy gruesos y densos, definitivamente este cultivo debería ser mucho más productivo que el anterior. Flower44, riego con EC 2.5 y pH 6.2, a un par de días de terminar el proceso y cosechar.

At the end of week 4, I've switched the lights to 12/12 and separated the plants, leaving one of them under 150w lamp. Also started to bend the main stem of Kabul Express. I'll probably make a timelapse of one/both of them, both girls grow pretty fast, and Kabul seem to be much bigger and elongate more.

Leaf cheated death 1 more time. Went outta town and my plant sitter flaked. Came home to a wilted almost dead 1 leaf and hadn't even been in the flower tent for a whole week. Seems to be ok now. As far as living or dying. Probably completely fucked my yield I'm imagining. So many dead leaves. That's why I hadn't updated. He didnt want u guys to see him like that and I didnt wanna waste the time if he didnt make it.

30.4.25: This worked out very nicely 👌 I just found Ecothrives' new, Trace! I was looking for Cal-Mag with no NPK. I came across this, I'm genuinely so excited to get using this! Ecothrive has the best products, hands down. As fate would have it, the plants are looking pretty dry! I'm going to be watering with the Trace and Biosys. Let's see what happens 😁 6 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1 contained: ♡ 3ml of Ecothrive Trace ♡ 1/4 Tsp (2.4ml) Ecothrive Biosys The plants received 3 litres of this feed each. PPM 475 PH 6.0. So after I watered, i decided to tie down a very large branch that had grown significantly taller than the rest of the canopy. It decided to bend instead. Luckily, it didn't snap. The outer membranes are all intact and unbroken. So I guess it needed a supercrop instead! 😅 I'm not worried at all, I just need to remember when I'm moving the pots around. Otherwise, it certainly will snap! 🤞 Let's see how we're looking in a few days after the first Ecothrive Trace application! 1.5.25: I mixed a foliar feed with my new Ecothrive Trace. I filled a 250ml spray bottle with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with 4ml Ecothrive Trace. I used the entire bottle in 3 plants throughout the course of the day. The fan is very strong, so it didn't take long to dry. However, I did keep the lights dimmer to ensure no leaves were burnt. Additionally, I spent more time than I care to admit massaging the foliar spray into the leaves 😅 I also moved the LED lights up as Northern Lights is still stretching. Par was about 600-700. Which may be too much. I'll keep an eye on it. I also watered with 1.5 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 to Northern Lights. I added 1/2 Tsp of Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf nutrients. PPM was 645. 2.5.25: I watered 1 litre today. With Greenleaf Nutrients Bud Explosion PK booster 1/2 Tsp dissolved in dechlorinated water PH'd to 5.9. PPM came out high at 1300, so I watered another litre through just plain, PH'd to 6.2. 30.4.25: This worked out very nicely 👌 I just found Ecothrives' new, Trace!

PPM came out high at 1300, so I watered another litre through just plain, PH'd to 6.2. 5.5.25: FastBuds Mystery seed #1 is focusing on bud building. There are certainly chunky buds beginning to form here! 😍 She has pretty well stopped stretching, and so she's shorter than Northern Lights, which is still growing vertically, this is a little unfortunate as they're no longer a Sea Of Green. Unless Northern Lights is a tidal wave 😅 So because the canopy is no longer uniform, the lighting is difficult to dial in. Which has never been my strong point. Her leaves are still very dark. I'm going to top dress with Ecothrive Life Cycle, but because of the darkness of leaves, I won't add the Ecothrive Charge. Which is mainly more vegetative growth needs. Which will contain more nitrogen, which we certainly don't need any more of at this stage. Plant top dressed with; ♡ 2 Tbs of Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 1 Cup Worm Castings ♡ 1 Cup Canna Coco ♡ 1.25 Cups Perlite I watered in with 2 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing .25g of Ecothrive Biosys. This next week will just be monitoring of excess/ deficiency of nutrients and probably another foliar spray of the new Ecothrive Trace. I have removed a few fan leaves at the lower canopies. As well as removing all the LST clips. Next week, we might remove all the fabric ties too, I'll see how we're looking. That's pretty much it! Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

The beautiful plant brings a smile to my face I built up the nutrients to 1250 ppm ... (including 200 ppm tap water). The plant is living under a CMH lamp now. Let's see how "XXL" it will get

Decided to trim and chop after 29 hours ( don't ask.)Really messed up the stem this time. Haven't done that before. Happy with her, gotta keep eye on temp and rh. Second time growing this one, simple grow. Not sure why it took 104 days this time! Thinking basement may be too cold and realized I've probably had the lights too close on all of them. Now I know! It's a great strain, highly recommend. Didn't top this time, but she handled it well last time. Will grow again. Took me a lot longer to trim than expected, but was supposed to just do the fan leaves. Changed my mind halfway through.... Will update with weights and such when I can 3/9) Started dry trimming last night, finished this morning. Very sticky! Got more than I was expecting.

First Guerilla-week! I am so excited and now it was time to set them out! I prepared my spot out in the woods and added 150 liters of new fresh quality-soil for my 4 plants so they can built a massive root system. These plants are gonna be so huge - again, the strain promises an average height of around 4 meters per plant. The temperatures here in my country are around 15-18°C and after a bit of raining it will be sunny and warm again. The sun comes out at 5:30 and sunset sets in at 20:30 -so 15hours of light for my plants. Stay tuned for awesome guerilla grow action! :)

Flip mode squad in the house! LSD and Green Crack move to the 4x4 room, under the Samsung strip's. Both plants were topped and defoliated. All four ladies look happy and healthy, I can't wait to see how they grow under this light. Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚
