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.

Nice smell and taste. Buds were airy, but believe it is because I did not cut out lower portions good. Bud is potent and how dense it is does not bother me. Thanks again fastbuds. Thanks to everyone for likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. Happy growing. To purchase seeds follow the link https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419 Update- made some gummies🙃🙃🙃

🗓️ WEEK 3 (veg) 💧 Her water uptake increased noticeably (about 1 LT/day), and the new leaves exhibit a perfect, healthy color. Due to this increased demand, I raised the EC to 1 to ensure she receives adequate nutrients. 🌱 The difference in growth between the start and end of this week is significant. The plant continues to stay quite short and compact, which I don't mind at all, especially considering the space limitations experienced during my last run. Naturally, this time, both the environmental conditions and the genetics are entirely different. Similar to last week, I concluded the week by removing a few of the lower leaves growing too close to the substrate. This week, I set the light power to 100 watts, keeping the same distance.

Hi everyone ! 😀 Everything is ok, no disease, no carrency. but 2 ladies don't want to stretch a lot :/ ( the 2 on the corner, bottom left and Top right ) i don't know why. maybe it's the variety. i have 4 Skunk XL and 2 Critical. Maybe these 2 are the critical ( yes i lost them when i plant the seed 😩 ... ) No more pH fluctuation ( i love that ) EC is around 1.9/2.0 and increase to 2.1/2.2 when they drink a lot so i add water with 1.7 ec to decrease it to 1.9/2.0 again I added 30L of water since i changed the water ( 2 tanks * 20L / i change it the 11/05/18 ) so i'm gonna change the whole solution during the week. See you next week !

Yesterday I discovered that, in order to change my timer, I didn't put the clock back onto it. Now they had 3 hours more light on the third day of flowering. Exactly the kind of oopsies this grow really doesn't need. But it happened and all back on a normal schedule, but I hope the OHS en GG4 aren't affected by it too much... One accidental re-vegging is more than enough for a year. Also, these sensitive strains can hermie on me for lesser reasons so from now on I'll be checking for male signs daily. The XTraKush is performing as advertised, with enormous stretch, these plants can go 10 ft up according to the breeder. So I'm tying them down and managing this to fill out the space. With all the stuff going on, this 'underdog' strain might even prove most resilient, when all is said and done. They seem to respond really well to the SP-3000 light and If you are in the market for a new light, consider this option from Mars Hydro. Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me try it, it is a dream of a light. I compared it to my old light again and PAR values are not even in the same ballpark. Thank you for checking my diary and taking the time to read my adventures! Hug Bud

Come già ho accennato purtroppo non ho avuto tempo per stare dietro a tutto e chiedo scusa a tutti per la mia assenza sul forum 🙈 Sono sempre più convinto che questo sarà il mio lavoro perché è L unica cosa che riesce a darmi soddisfazioni e buon umore quando lo faccio,oltre che benefici perché ovviamente sono un fumatore e lo sarò per sempre 🐮🐒🐶🦑 Infatti sto valutando di poter andare in USA California per poter fare L università e poter lavorare in questo settore che sarebbe il mio sogno!!! Voglio poter aiutare le persone con questa pianta magica come lei ha aiutato me per tante cose… Purtroppo in Italia è repressa ma stiamo piano piano andando nella giusta direzione almeno per ambito terapeutico e farmaceutico ( bedrocan,bedica,bediol,bedrolite ecc…) Tornando a noi voglio ringraziare SS per L ottimo lavoro che fate e spero di poter presto fare un ordine con le vostre nuove genetiche e provare la linea Red e fast version!!!

Another veg week for the original sensible seeds girl Scout cookie auto. (I don't know why the other weeks say flowering I'll have to change them.) Nice growth on her and looking healthy shes on a weekly (when I remember) bio buzz triple, tap water and any homemade nuits knocking around. She's had her top chopped to split the main cola and some trimming of lower buds that won't have long enough to mature. I'll be shaping her some over the next week or two with LST, supercrop ( now a tradition more than a requirement) for her new home the converted cupboard which requires a more rectangular canopy. She's probably 2 weeks away from 'The stretch' (I don't know if its a real thing the strech but its a term I like to use anyway) in my head it goes -seedling - veg - signs of flower for about two weeks - Stretch week or two. This is the phase where by if you don't check on her for a day or two all of a sudden you've got a tree in your cupboard -Bud fattening -Harvest

Die Pflanze gedeiht. Ich bin überrascht, wie viele Blüten sie produziert hat. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist morgens sehr hoch aber bislang sehe ich keine Fäulnisanzeichen. Wahrscheinlich liegen wir noch etwas weg vom Taupunkt. Wasser + Ackerschachtelhalm.
