D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF
D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature.
- temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF
- water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each
- run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF
D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each
- run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF
D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF
D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF
- water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each
- run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush
- RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF
D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches.
- temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF
- water: less then a gallon each
- RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF
D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong.
- temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF
- no water
- RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

Hi growers! this is my first grow and I will try to be as detailed as possible.
The first video is day 2 and the second video is day 6. The first pot is the Fast buds BlackBerry Auto, second pot is the Fast buds Zkittles Auto and the Two at the back are the SweetSeeds Honey Peach CBD. originally the back left pot was meant to be a Fast buds Tangie'matic but the seed didn't germinate so around day 4 of the grow I decided to germinate another Honey Peach CBD Seed.
Equipment using is:
2 x 300w Viperspectra LED Lights
4 x 12L Fabric Pots
2 x 9" Clip Fans
1 Standing oscillating fan
1 Thermostat with RH reading
and a cheapish Carbon Filter kit from EBay.
As this is my first grow i have been on quite a tight budget but if things go well I will be slowly upgrading all of the equipment over time.
Notes:
As you can tell by the video I am very limited to space, I can't remember the exact measurements but I think its 48inches cubed

I had a little trouble this week Plants 1 and 2 are still droopy and the fungus gnats seem to be getting worse. I wasn't sure if it was overwatering or not enough nutrients. So I let them dry out for 4 days and noticed it got worse. So it probably was not overwatering. On day 56 I top dressed Plants 1 and 2 with some left over Nature's Living Soil. I used 2 tablespoons each and added 4 cups of Root's Organic soil also since the pots have settled a little. Then I gave all the plants a good watering. Hopefully after a few days they will perk back up. On day 55 I added sticky cards to each pot to keep an eye on how many fungus gnats I have. There was quite a few after just one day but I noticed less in the tent.
I read some posts on Nature's Living Soil and another on air-pots. It seems like others have had nutrition problems with Nature's Living Soil if they went longer than a month of vegging, which would explain my issue. The other post about air-pots said fungus gnats love them since they can attack the soil from all sides instead of just the top layer. Apparently if you let the top layer of soil dry out well in normal pots the fungus gnat problem mostly goes away. But when using air-pots the top layer of soil might dry out but they can still get to the moist soil from the bottom or sides.

White Widow week 2. Showing some nice growth so far. Once she starts putting out a few nodes I think I am going to give here a 90 degree LST bend - that seemed to work GREAT with my Mexican Airlines (the colas from the lower branches were huge). 👍

Looks all good. The Fruit Spirit is growing big time. Unfortunately the Legendary OG is very slow, I believe it’s because i plant it in a very big pot and is getting focused on the roots for now. It does look healthy anyways. The Blue cheese automatic is growing really quick.
Unfortunately in week 3 the Legendary OG has died. I found out that i was giving nutrients to early so I kinda burnt it. Feeling sad about it.
I’m doing another seed now. Northern Light Automatic.
This week I added chamomile flowers to the soil.
I baked in the oven egg shells which I added to the soil as a natural Calcium.

Hi people!
I have nothing special to say. you can see everything in the photo! and all this can be summed up in one word! Perfect!
it begins to show dark colors in buds, as well as on large leaves from the stem. in the photo this is not yet noticeable, but the eye already sees the manifestations of genetics! and I think that further it will only become more beautiful and more colorful!

I THINK THEY ARE DONE STRETCHING. GDP 1 IS 27.5 INCHES TALL. THATS BEEN HER HEIGHT FOR AT LEAST TWO DAYS NOW. GDP 2 IS 18.5 INCHESS TALL. #2 IS IN A 3 GALLON POT, I THINK THATS WHY SHE IS SO MUCH SMALLER. COULD ALSO JUST BE GENETICS. DAY 43.
DAY 44: EACH PLANT HAS STRETCHED ANOTHER INCH. GDP 1 IS 28.5 AND GDP 2 IS JUST UNDER 20 INCHES TALL. NOT TOO BAD. LETS SEE IF THEY STRETCH ANYMORE. ITS SLOWED OVER THE PAST COUPLE DAYS FOR SURE.
DAY 45: ADDED ENHANCEMENT PUCKS FOR FLOWER. 1 PHOTO RED FLOWER BOOSTER. 1 UVA TRICHOME BOOSTER.
DAY 48: GDP 1 IS 30IN TALL TODAY. GDP 2 IS 20.5 INCHES TALL. BOTH PLANTS APPEAR HAPPY AND HEALTHY. LEAVING THE UVA TRICH BOOSTER LIGHT ON FOR THREE HOURS AT A TIME.
DAY 49: GDP 1 STILL 30IN TALL. GDP 2 CLOSER TO 21 INCHES BUT NOT QUITE THERE.

Day 8: transplanted 3 of them into 1 gallon plastic pots. they werent very rooted but the roots they did have were healthy and thick. will transplant the others as soon as i can. Up potted about half of the tent. i need to set up another tent
9/18
day 10 transplanted the last 2 plants into 1 gallon pots. im reusing soil with them and i dont normally do that. hoping that there arent any random issues to pop up.
9/19 finally numbered the plant's. #1 is the one that's looking more sativa leaning. she has longer petioles or fan leaf stems. Longer, thinner leaves and has stood out from the rest from the very beginning.
im going to use the terms indica/ sativa and hybrid as generalized terms.
on the other end #5 is super short and tightly spaced nodes. has a more even indica style look to her.
#'s 2-4 i have noted as being "hybrid" as in they look to be a mix of both and not on one end or the other such as #1 and #5 are. also onr of the hybrid ones has super thick indica maple leaf style leaves that stands out as well.
these are more so for my notes and i understand that these are all technically hybrids 60/40 sativa/indica i believe.

Didn't get the potential. Very happy with the look of the finished product , so far I'll give this particular strain 9.3. In it's best stability this would be my go to phenotype cause of the overall potential and ratio. Very happy for it being my first auto grow experience now I'm hooked. Definitely would suggest this bad girl for a first time auto enthusiast and for the connoisseur . I've been looking into that Purple Lemonade by Fast Buds and very excited to purchase also that Black Berry cause they remind me of the Blue Dreams large flower to plant ratio. For now and my next auto grow will beee......🥁

I decided to do multiples this time because of finish times I feel will never be the extact either way
I'll try to get a rotation going .😃

Hello everyone! I promised to track this grow very closely this time and ufortunately life got in the way. Here is a quick sumup of the grow.
First of all- One of the sour stomper plants unfortunately didn't make it. It died at about week 4. The main stem somehow had rubbed/broken down. That's why it was falling down. It was almost like a mini beaver had chewed it off at the point where the stem touches the riot rooter. At first I thought nothing much of it, maybe it hasn't been rooted in quite well yet or something. And I was constantly touiching it when watering, that made it worse. Soo the leaves were dropping and the plant looked very weak. Then I decided cut thr rapid rooters top layer and found out the severity of the problem. Tried to tape it up and other things, but it was too late. At the end it appeared all good as the remaing plants got so big the I had some space issue so I wouldn't have been able to fit another plant in anyway.
At that time I finally made my self-draining saucers. I took me a while and a lot of effort, but finally they were ready and working well. I also installed the self watering system and flowering was starting. Pretty soon I started noticing weird leaf symtoms. Brown spots, different kind. Some plants had it more, some less. Sour Stomper looked pretty good throughout the grow. Mango smiles seemed sensitive and Strawberry Nuggs were pretty strong until the end.
The grow was basically me experimenting with the setup- changing watering schedules , changing ppm, ph and all that stuff to keep the leaves looking healthy and it was very hard I have to admit. Probably my hardest grow in that regard. But somehow, the bud leaves remained healthy and the buds really fattened up good. I got away with an amzing 700G dry bud harvest which was def a new record from one grow. And the bud quality is very good too!
Next time definetly no more than 4 plants as they got pretty big and I thought it was a little overcrowded. I was doing some good defoliation too. I should have defolited strawberry nugs more tho. Sour Stomper got some amazing bud development from top to bottom because it was was growing next to strawberry nuggets which were really small most of the grow. They actually took the most time to harvest even longer than Mango smile. Mango smiles were ready quite early. Sour Stomper was just in time!
I topped sour stomper and both Mangoi smiles, left SNs both normal. Looking back at it, the way I grow them, Should have topped SNs too. Would probably have more space in the middle and longer side branches. Probably wouldn't have been as bushy!
I followed the full Terra aquatica feed chart until the end. I was supplementing with CalMag a lot as I thought the symptoms could have been from a CalMag deficiency as this was my first grow with RO water.
Overall a very challenging but good grow at the end. First time no mold problems. A record breaking yield for me. Basically surpassed the upper limit for all plant probable harvest sizes. Got good smelling quality bud. Very happy overall and will continue experimenting with Mephisto beans in the future for sure! I guess what I like the most about Mephisto is how close to description the plant is, very stable genes in that regard.
Next time I will also have to start feeding plants higher PPM feed faster at the very start. and during flowering. But still not 100% sure what caused the leaf symptoms.

The situation is the one with lower level of soil started flowering while the other ones continued to grow so i had to start feeding them differentially starting giving 2ml/l of Bioflower in addiction to the other one to the flowering plant.

Fin de la semana siete y soló veo un proceso hermoso, lleno de gratificación, sin hojas quemadas ni exceso de nutrientes, todo se ha dado en las dosis justas de cada componente, los nutrientes orgánicos funcionan de maravilla. Creó que las palabras están demás después del registro gráfico.
Saludos a todos!
Don Pato.

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the delay!
This week I raised the amount of phosphorus and potassium! And yikes! I went suuuuuuper high by mistake! I gave them (after pH and TDS checks) a total of 1968 ppm which I believe was just way too much for my babies 😬 gladly they barely showed some nutrient burn. With the exception of Boomer and Falcho, which both plants are still showing some chlorosis (better than last week tho) and I believe it's probably because of some sort of nutrient lock out or maybe the plant is just getting too old!
You'll see from the photos how the plants developed after overfeeding them. They didn't wither 😱 or anything (and only some few leaves started to show some signs of nutrient burn) so I'm happy so far. I'll be more careful next week about this!
Besides that big mistake everything went well. I kept removing dry/yellow leaves and taking care of my babies 👌
Thanks everyone for reading!
