Hey Guys, Growth has taken off a lot this past week, have had to add a heater to the grow which isn’t ideal but with warmer months coming this should only be temporary. I have the thermostat set to start the heater when temps go below 23°c. Watching Dr Bruce Bugbee on YouTube, he stated that growth does start to suffer below this temperature. One of the plants has some odd colours and growth which I’m pretty sure is Mg deficiency, which is probably due to that particular girl being more sensitive to PH swings than the rest of the ladies. I have had to insulate some of the circulating pipes as the water cooler was struggling to keep the water baths cool. Seems to have helped keep temps down a couple more degrees, I mate have to reconfigure where my water cooler is in the piping run after this grow Finally a special thanks to the GD team for selecting my previous diary for DOTM, very flattering considering some of the great content that was submitted for March 2020! Happy growing all!

05/05/2021 Happy May 5th Been a week and pistils fading, not much in new pistils yet but I'm expecting a new wave in the coming days. Phase 2 is what I'm looking forward to, I hope autoflower's have different stages of flowering like photos. I guess we see next week. 🙏 Ps. Using microbial science as a booster for her last few weeks. She has adjusted nicely to being outdoors I like that she is flowering in spring at 14+ hours of light, hopefully finished at end of june under long and strong sun exposure! And watch the trichomes!.

She’s flourishing great!! One of the quickest plants I’ve ever flowered no doubt! From the minute she was induced she took off like a rocket buds are dense and frosty n should be finishing up any week now! Very pungent almost citrus like odor from the plant but you smell the blueberries as well almost like a ripening one it’s very distinct, but smells delicious among the other aromas.

Two girls one cup week 5?? I cant count ATM.. if you're just tuning in, check previous week's for daily progression. Day 28- off to an explosive start for the week. Eating and drinking more than ever. Topping off RES daily between 30-40 fl oz with calmag'd water. Changed RES yesterday to 3/4 strength week 4 GHE light. Breakdown as follows. 2gal water/calmag - 200ppm Micro - 9mL Grow - 8.4mL Bloom - 6.3mL RES total after ph corrections - 720 @ 5.68. Light up 30in - 20 DLI Already had to top off with 26oz calmag'd water this morning and I just changed RES last night. TDS dropped from 720 to 661 within 12hrs, as well as the water level. Ph drift up to 6.18 as usual. I really think every other day RES changes may help keep these girls npk right where it needs to be with how much they're eating. As long as I don't stress em too much more that is. Last week was rough on the girls for sure. Gave em a .5mL shot of Micro tonight to boost nitrogen levels a bit due to the coloration on lower fan leaves and some uppers. May supplement more N into next RES change right off the bat Will add to the timelapse daily as long as i dont f up the footage like i have done many times already. Day 29- still looking a little hungry and how fast tds is dropping it def shows in more than one place. Bump up RES to full strength week 4 GHE light. Breakdown as follows. Water - 2gal Micro - 12mL Grow - 11.2mL Bloom - 8.4mL Total after ph corrections: 5.68/980 They're def bushing up. The stretch is coming and GC already shows signs of it starting. Wish they'd bush up more before, but i gotta roll with the flow. Definitely branching out down all over and are showing signs of explosive growth yet again. Thinking about turning on the green night light again to show night time movement with the day. Thoughts?? Day 30- these girls are some PIGS! I JUST changed RES yesterday, and they've already eaten 1/3rd of its concentration. From 980 down to 601 in 24hrs! More if you think about my RES top offs every 12hrs (with 200ppm calmag'd water) adding back something versus just diluting further. I know I said I wouldn't stress the girls anymore, BUT... I supercropped the stretching tops on both, and gave em a mild defoliation. Hated to see more big leaves go.. but they're blocking light to everything I want to bush out NOT stretch up. The stretch is coming, but we still have time to train so may as well. *edit* went a lil nuts supercropping.. WG is taking it like a champ. GC I was a little rough with and crushed the 3 up top a lil too much. They're turned up towards the TSW2000, so they're not dead. RES change tonight with TDS drop as fast as it did. So there will be two updates today. woohoo! Day 31- both made a speedy recovery from the second round of abuse. will be doing another RES change tonight. same week 4 GHE light, i may bump up the formula some since the TDS dropped 360+ ppm in 24 hrs the other day. just dont want to overdue it since i just got done stressing them TF out AGAIN and they wont be eating as much while repairing (i think)... i will update later after RES change if i decide on running anything other than whats mentioned above. *TDS broke a thousand tonight.. lets see if we can keep em from dropping too much in the next 12hrs. Not fully repaired, but S.C. locations all over are already growing like nothing even happened. Wedding Glue's branches and main are thick asf! Wait till harvest and I bet they'll double or more. Will have to cut bigger openings in the silicon mat to keep from choking them off. **update** AM RES check, TDS dropped from 1077 to 679 in 12hrs! And I've read all over not to take autos over 6-700ppm... seems I feed em more, they eat ALLOT more. WTF??! Day 32- got out a net to see if it actually fits the tent, and to see how I felt about using it. So far, it fits but I'm not feeling it. So it came back out. Another round of defoliation tonight, and standard top off ph correct RES. am going to start every other day RES changes now to keep em happy. Day 33- plants drinking roughly 42fl Oz every 12hr. Defol AGAIN... got rid of some of the smaller stuff down low so all the plants energy can be focused to somewhere that matters. bumped up the TDS around noon today a bit and moving towards bloom nutes. Giving them a little more calmag to help with repairs from supercropping and all the defol 3 days in a row. Breakdown as follows. Water/calmag/h²o² - 2 gal (300ppm) Micro - 10.6mL Grow - 9.2mL Bloom - 12mL RES total after ph correction - 1174ppm Just did my every 12hr RES check and TDS has dropped from 1174 to 881. I measure before topping off with calmag'd water too. Helps in my data crunching and calculations. At this rate, they'll be down below 600 by morning. Wasn't planning on daily RES changes until they were much further along. Really want to see how big the root structure is in the RES, but don't want to rip roots wrapped on the ice probe. If I had one of those probe cameras I could poke it in my top off/fill port and take a peek. Day 34- really wish i had a spare down tube installed so i could utilize a top off RES. once this gets too low, it stops top feeding. not a big deal cause theres plenty of bubbles brewing in the RES to dwc it for a few hours. well... theres two bitches in the cup, theyre eating and drinking like pigs already. i am WELL over the "650-700" max ppm for an auto and climbing trying to keep both of them as happy as possible without hurting em. theyre only going to get bigger, thirstier, and hungrier as time passes. i see the 2k mark in the near future for sure. GC showing some purple on the tops of a few bigger petioles on GC and WG showing purple striping on the bottom of some of its branches. after watching vid from today, I DEF need to hit my fans with some tape like a lint roll. and yes, I play them music 🤣. WG is def a strong fucking pheno for sure!! thick branches, tight node spacing when given appropriate lighting. props to FastBuds for sure! changed RES tonight around 6pm to the GHE wk1 bloom MEDIUM feed. breakdown as follows: water - 2gal (300ppm) micro - 12.2mL grow - 10.6mL bloom - 13.6mL RES totals after PH corrections - 1237 ppm, 5.51 PH (letting them get the full sweep today) didn't I say I wasn't going to stress the girls anymore?? damnit! guess I'm a liar.. did a lil schwazzz on the girls tonight. left a few fans for shits and giggles. they're either going to stack up or herm out 🤣.. either way, we're in this together to the end. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow. I apologize for rambling, but information collected will be good references for future auto grows for me.

Continued LST throughout the week and starting to shape nicely. Girls are starting to explode and are really healthy. Both girls started to show sex at the very end of the week.

Vamos familia que se viene la cosecha de estas Papayton de Fastbuds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. Que locura de variedad, me encantó cultivarla , pero e de comentar que para mí es una variedad bastante complicada y hacía años que no me encontraba un reto así, al final salieron y bastante top. Las flores aparte de piedras, se ven resinosas. a sido una genética, dificil de cultivar y no es muy resistente pero si tienes paciencia fliparas con la calidad, 8/9 semanas de floración, los aromas son bastante intensos y hay que tener cuidado con los plátanos , si sale alguno a final de flora quitarlos y si sale antes desechar mejor la planta. Por esos problemas que comenté por muy buena variedad que sea no puedo darle muchas estrellas.

She is growing nice, the buds are getting fat, apparently i was expecting gorilla cookies to be the winner at the size of the buds until now, apparently i was wrong, amnezia has bigger buds than gorilla at this stage :) we will see who is going to be the winner... who you think is going to win?

Woche 1 der Blüte ist ein Traum. Die Ladys haben alle eine gute Höhe erreicht und haben schöne Blütenansätze entwickelt. Hier hatte es recht wenig geregnet und die Sonne kam auch recht regelmäßig durch. Mitte der Woche hatte es etwas geregnet, so das ich nicht gießen musste. Der Topf hatte durch Tagestemperaturen um die 22-25°C nicht das Problem das das Substrat austrocknet und zu nass war es auch nicht. Ich hatte einmal die Oberfläche angefeuchtet und den Ladys sonst nur beim wachsen zugeschaut und mich gefreut💚 Also wirklich eine sehr entspannte Woche. Hier und da ein paar einzelne Blattläuse abgesammelt. Es waren in der ganzen Woche vielleicht 10 Stück. Also hat sich die Pflege auch in Grenzen gehalten. Falls es mit den Blattläusen stark zunehmen sollte, werden ein paar Nützlinge in den Kampf geschickt. Ein zwei Blätter mussten entfernt werden weil ein kleiner Thrips etwas Schaden angerichtet hat. Aber sonst wachsen die Ladys einfach super vor sich hin💚 Vielen Dank fürs reinschauen💚🤙🏻

It has been very difficult keeping the temperatures down due to the hot summer weather. It has been over 90 degrees 3 weeks in a row here and I'm running lights during the day... bad combination. These plants haven't slowed down though...

Another 2 weeks to 18 days and should be able to wrap this one up. Looking promising considering only 330w was used, 36w/sqft. Its bud ripening time. Pics are of Day 46 currently sitting at day 49 to be precise. GHL

Crazy and extremely variable wheater this week but what a runner! In 7 days RG passed the oldest "special kush # 1" growing 2 centimetres a day. Perfectly healthy, I decided not to top her. Starting LTS. Smell will be a problem later.
