I highly recommend these Auto-flowering genetics. The harvest was above expectations and slightly behind schedule, but I have very little negative to say about this Strain or this grow cycle. I am looking to develop a top down drip system to speed up the seedling/clone stage a few days for even better results. Because of these great results I am looking forward to my next FastBuds strain. This next grow I will be picking up local clones here in California perhaps this time a purple theme. 😎 ______________________________________ If you enjoyed this Diary feel free to follow me here on Grow Diaries as well as Instagram and Youtube to see the rest of my content 😘 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/hightv.ig YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChV8yzZviLCHpGAktvr6r0w NEXT GROW: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/14740-purple-punch-granddaddy-purple0

week 2 veg official lol we have arrived here safely and the babies are looking real good. No topping or any kind of defoliation will take place, we will only be taking off lower branches and leaves as the plants grow skywards trying to keep branching as close to the stem as possible. It's getting exciting lol

9.30 - I build a little fermenting CO2 generator this week, mostly for shits since I'm not going to seal the tent up. Otherwise things are going as expected. Noticed a really big change in bud structure and how they are densing up. Really enjoying the show and the change in colors and pistil behavior. Got her propped up to increase circulation and get a better idea of when she needs water. 10.1 - Just documenting the bud evolution for fun :) 10.4 - Whatchu guys think of my rescue marijuana plant!? Not bad, huh?! 10.6 - Plant grew some new whites and oranges and buds are bigger 10.7 - changing every day. What a wonderful thing

D22 - 10.4 - All the plants recovered well from topping and I'm just letting them put out new grow for the next weekish. We might come across some opportunity to LST this week 😀👍 D26 - 10.8 - I've been learning a lot. At this point, even though I snapped a branch 😤😪😂 I'm super happy. I managed to save the snapped branch with duck tape. It lost a fan leaf but I think she'll be ready to train again in a wee. All my other training is going well. I've figured out how I like to hook my lst anchors etc. Whole lot of fun watching them adapt and grow. D28 - 10.10 - Heck, we have had a massive heat wave! 😤😫😣 I've been managing temps as best I can, but it has crept up to 33C near the soil the past couple days. I'm sad I already stored my window A/C but trying to keep the vibes good 🙏👍

Well they have been on 12/12 for 2 days now, this evening they began their 3rd day of flowering. They need a good defoliation. I’m feeling very overwhelmed by the canopy density, because my screen has such small spacing, all the vegetation in the middle is very tightly packed. No major issues. Making sure to keep my ph in check and I dismounted my fan from it’s stand and zip tied it to one of the tent supports. Hopefully everything continues in the right direction! Oct 3 The stretch is on. These girls look great. I’m going to be feeding them tomorrow. They have filled in quite nicely from their last defoliation and I need to do another. I’ve tucked a number of leaves I should have clipped but I didn’t. I will have to do it soon. My dog, Slade, was being a suck tonight so I let him downstairs with me.

Bushy little mama. Removed the tobacco plants as they were taking over the tent. She is on her lonesome now so she can make full use of the space available. Looking like she needs some defoliation pretty soon. 3/10 Gave her a radical defoliation. Took away about 85% of all the larger fan leaves and some lower canopy growth. I want all the plants energy to go into flowering and developing large kolas. Don't expect the auto clone to get much bigger, so won't be potting up, but she may produce a decent kola.

Some new growth late in wk2, she has got a few more leaves so good progress, just feeding her 'root juice' for now until she establishes herself a little more, will be cloning this plant hopefully to get a few more ladies off her. Now under 600w LED in veg mode. Lighting cycle 18/6. 6/10 Update: Slightly pale leaves so appears she is ready for her first N feed, gave her a lite application of Biobizz Grow, silica, drop of superthrive and maxicrop.

A lot of rain, crazy weather.

:p

She is in week 1 flowering and well everything is going fine I start to give her some Alga Bloom. I still see that she needs allot of Nitrogen. Next week I will be giving hersome Alga Grow for extra Nitrogen. The Scrog is going really good she is getting nice and full. Over weeks she will start so show small buds woohoo.😍

This plant is taking a while to grow it is awesome some with its smell. It smells like coconut and strawberry . If I could speed up time to smoke it that would be cool.

Compared to powerplant, LSD is very slow to get going. By the end of week 2 of flower i expect more established bud-sites, however i have been told that LSD will get busier towards the later stage of flowering. We shall see. But in terms of plant health, there are no deficiencies (not that you get any with NFT), very uniform nodal spacing - no stretch, very large stems at the bottom and the root mass is exactly what i expect. The temperature has now dropped to 14c at ''night time'' so ive had to introduce a small heater to keep the temps up whilst theyre asleep.

I had a busy week. I updated my 4" exhaust fan to a Cloudline 6" booster exhaust fan and a bigger carbon filter. I also added another mini-fan that can oscillate and I had to add a heater. Why you ask? Because I got a CO2 tank from a friend and it is recommended to have temps in between 85-95 degrees. Granted I could have used it three weeks ago but better late than never. I have a nice CO2 monitor inside the chamber and I use the internal video camera to watch the readings. I have also added some HydroGuard to help the roots. They are slightly brown and another grower recommended it. Daphni continues to grow well and has maintained her dark green color. She has also started to make pistils and they are starting to form into buds just three days after first pistil sighting. I can smell her now too. latest readings are Air Temp = 79F, Humidity = 42%, PPM = 1810, pH = 5.9. Concerning my roots, I put a black trash bag over the top of the reservoir to keep as much light out as possible. The reservoir is tan and white and I think light was getting thru.

I wish I could figure out why I don't have more trichomes this is supposed to be Gorilla Glue supposed to be covered by now as far as I know anybody got any thoughts on this

I have 7 week-old plants that have more trichomes than 8 weeks wish I could figure out why it's not too hot they've been running right at a temperature of about 82 degrees I was thinking at first maybe it's the topping and the defoliation but I did the same thing to my other two plants which are younger and they have more trichomes

This week was solid again. I’m monitoring the two back plants in slightly smaller pots as they are using much less water right now and are also a few days in growth behind their sisters in the larger pots. Very happy with the growth but I wanted to test the plants tolerance to the light at 36” above the canopy. I simply placed 12” pots under each of them rather than lower the light as I have it in a fixed position right now at the very top of the tent. Plants are responding well...or at least there is no negative response as they are still growing very 💪. I am constantly LST’ing in order to keep the canopy low and flat. The Durban’s are only at 10” and the Cali’s are at 13”. I broke one top on the Cali Haze but I grafted it back on with some on hand electrical tape. These girls are much tougher to keep low than the Durban’s so I need every branch! Bumped their feed up to an EC of 1.4 and will continue to increase this week to see how they respond. So far there is no signs of leaf burn. I’ve pre programmed my entire grow with spectrum changes during their transitions and such but i went with a 5 week veg and I’m almost contemplating flipping them after week 4? Anyone else grow 4 plants in a 5x5 tent before? If so, how long did you veg for? I need to keep them fairly low as they are both sativas and will stretch a fair amount and I want to hammer them with UVB at the end but California Lightworks suggests a minimum distance of 24” be maintained between plants And UVB lights.

I can’t believe it’s finally over to be honest I liked them that much I dident really want to cut them down 😂. But overall they been great had a few deficiency’s along the way but they always bounced back, Their the most frosty and dense buds I’ve ever grown and if it tastes as good as it looks I’ll be doing it again. Big thanks to @PharmaZ for all the help from start to finish I can guarantee they wouldn’t be like this without his help and the rest of the community. Once dry and jarred I’ll update the rest. ✌️🏻🔥 29/10/18 - at first I wasn’t the biggest fan of this smoke as the flavour really wasn’t for me as I’m more a fan of citrus/fruity strains but to be honest after nearly a month cure the taste has improved a hell of a lot it’s got a very smooth taste and I can taste the cookies gentetics in it now m, especially in plant #1 because #2 and #3 are a lot more diesel/gorilla glue. Strangely all three plants were completely different pheno types but when it comes down to it I definitely preferred plant #1 from the other two as it had the best taste, bud density and overall appearance with the light green/purple colour way whilst being quite frosty. Plant #2 is still quite dense defiantly a 7-8/10 but has a very strong diesel taste and I also find the shape of the nugs appealing as their less dense than plant #1 but they have larger nugs and a mad bud formation I haven’t seen much. Plant #3 was unfortunately the ugly duckling of the group as you can tell from the picture, she was extremely hard to train as she had hardly any flexibility and I felt like I was going to snap the main stem from day one of training and because of that scenario she revived less light and dident grow as tall and dident keep up with the rest of the canopy, it’s still dense and frosty it’s just the nugs are a lot smaller compared too the others and again a diesel type smoke.💨💨💨
