WEEKLY UPDATES:
9/20- π₯BOOM!π₯ Week Six of flower is here and my girl's in high gear, stacking her flowers and pumping out trichomes!
Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72β. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance.
9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72β which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn.
She continues to have a great deep green color that is beautifully contrasted by the snow white trichomes piling up on them! Her height has not really increased but she is extremely bushy with tight node spacing which will necessitate plucking some leaves to keep the light penetrating into her canopy.
9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Five of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come!
I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings.
I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72β and let her enjoy her meal! π
9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 0.75g watering.
~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! ππ~

1/15 Begin week 3
I swear they look a full week older than 15 days... interesting. Obviously they like the protocol. π
Loving the CocoTek
Not topping till I get them transplanted in a few days. Plan is to top twice, we going to see what we can get from these newbies π
Leaving feed as is until transplant into 5 gal of 75% coco 25% perlite
*Fastbuds - They are taking nuets very well and I would increase but size is getting to be an issue at this point.
Both the FFT-7 and 5 could take higher ppm. We plan on doing a clone grow with one of each strain to grow entirely for size and yield without size restrictions.
See what they do when given lots of space.
Zhaan is looking to be a bit different pheno but not stress induced.
1/17 Transplant day
Finished preparing coco by thoroughly washing the pots in the bath tub till runoff clear-ish, 50ppm
Soaked pots with one quart of 5.9 nuets and Kangaroots 10ml/gal and transplanted the garden bags, god the roots are incredible.
In the Veg tent now
Wife named the veg tent Moya and its stuck so now the danged tent has a name π
1/20 ITS WEASEL STOMPING DA... errp no... Topping day
All topped at either forth or fifth node, pics up there
1/21 Noticing some mag def and random Ca spots on Jool in particular so getting a dose of Cal-Mag 3ml/gal as well as the foliar.
See this as due to the low levels of CocoTek or perhaps the stress of topping but do not want to increase nuets at this time.

Time for the final big makeover.π±π
Start of the week came with the last major structural work in the tent this run.
Day 22 defo was the perfect moment to go through the girls properly and catch any deficiencies early. Luckily nothing was found.π§βπΎ
We stripped them hard and cleared out the entire lower third , full lollipop mode.
From here on out they can put all their energy into stacking fat, dense buds.
Tallest girl is at 100 cm right now.
Sweet berry terps are already coming through, which is a great sign this early in flower.
EC: 1.5
VPD: 1.1β1.4kpa
Irrigation remains at twice per week, but volume was reduced to 3 L this round due to heavy defoliation and reduced transpiration.π¦
Weβll leave them without the net for a bit to recover.
Then will decide if the SCROG goes back on or if we open up the lower canopy in another way to improve light penetration.
PeaceβοΈπ¨

Get out the way sheβs about to blow π’π£π₯ itβs been a hot week this week Iβve had to dim the lights a bit a take the drivers out the tent to cool it down a bit. Might be a good thing she seem to be fading a little so hopefully diming the lights will slow down the rate sheβs using nutes. I fed the worms some banana within a couple of days the turned it into fresh casting she seems to have started her swell too.
Until next week letβs get it πͺπ½

Hi. I try to do an LST on the three plants, but the stem of one of them broke slightly, so I had to fix it with a tape. I hope he survives!
The Brooklyn is blooming, but the another two no.
See you!

Nice fade coming. Looks kinda alien like and not the traditional buds. Maybe the light is too strong?

Its very frosty and I would say overall very good if you are looking for hash. I personally do not get much flavors out of it. I harvested 3 plants, flushed them properly, and dried them properly. All of that said, the flavor just wasnt there for me. I get a coffee aroma from its buds but definitely lacks flavor. I do not get any sweet notes from it like I should. This strain is strawbanana cream x do-si-do so I was hoping for a bit more flavor. I do not weigh wet, so final dry weight after a tight trim was a little over 6 ounces.

Wow! What a difference a week makes. They are all in flower. They are all autos from Dutch Passion except one auto Dinafem Sour Diesel. There are 7 Glueberrys, 2 Colorado Cookies, 1 Blueberry, 1 Think Different & 1 Sour Desiel. Itβs day 35 today. The 3 plants on the right side of the tent are only 3 weeks old. I have done a little LST and will continue to do so. A couple of the plants have shown slight calmag and slight phosphorus deficiency. I water right now every 3 days with the Fox Farm Trio combination. I use fertilizer every watering but cut the amount in half that is recommended. I also use powered seaweed each watering.
I will start another round of 12 autos in 3 weeks.
Doing this legally now is unbelievable to me. I have been partaking of this wonderful plant since 1969. Thatβs 50 years this last July!

ok one more week, the ripper haze genetics plants have quintupled their size in the change to 12h, I had to tie them up since they don't stop growing, I can't wait for them to finish stretching and start to fatten the flowers. normal problems of having many different genetics in the same grow tent. otherwise everything is going well.
that's all, regards.

Hey everyone! Week 10 is here! (or 5th of flower) π
Both of my girls look like they are really close to being ready! (or they are already ready!) π and I could chop them right now but I want to wait a bit more so buds can get a little bigger. This is because I forgot flower is shorter in autos and I delayed the doses a bit too much π. I hope this week's full dosage will help my babies to get her buds a little bigger π and next time I'll be more aware of this as I completely missed it.
My goal is 70%/30% amber trichomes and I believe I still have some time for that!
Besides what I mentioned earlier, this strain is amazing. They've responded quite well for all the defoliation I've done to them which is no small feat on an auto! πͺ
Anyway, that's all for now. See you all really soon in my next update! It should be up soon!
Bye! ;D

Day 28 today
The girls are stretching out to a decent size. Except the Cheesy auto which is 10 days behind. They have only had half a scoop of Greenhouse biogrow so far. I am going to try out Canna Flores Organic for flower , boosted by organic Iguana juice from Advanced nutrient, is did a little bit of lst today just tying four branches down on each plant. I'm interested how much I can yield from a 100w led.

Moved light to 3ft above plants. 400ppfd plants are reacting well.
Day 17 moved lights back to 24 inches above and made sure DLI was 45. Huge growth increase.
