New Grower Elcoop's introduction to growing. Fastbuds

Quick update breaking my usual once a week pattern because I'm excited about my new purchase. I made some moveable scrog nets . I thought it was an original idea but turns out other people have already done it. Either way I'm happy with it. Next run il use bamboo canes to support it and maybe do 2 tiers but il see how this one goes . Definley seems an easier way to maintain a flat canopy

Hey there bud , welcome. new grower here also. Looks like we’re both having the same fun n games, I’m nearly at week 7 with my zkittlez og auto. Started with 2 , one popped up crippled and never took off. So I have just one plant and she gets all my care and attention right now lol. Fascinating hobby, im really loving the ride. Drop by sometime.
cheers

I Must be doing something right, probably a lot wrong aswell, grow n learn my friend.
 
Another good week , getting closer to finally smoking some of my own . The strawberry pie is budding well and truly now and the gelato's an AK are taking well to the new training methods and are shaping up nicely

Not much change in the nutes other than adjusting the GH trio using a schedule as a guide but I decided to implement one change. Iv been listening alot to the dude grows show . One of the hosts owns a company that sells a microbe tea basically I guess called recharge by real growers . So I think iv been brainwashed by the amount its mentioned on there so I bought a similar product you can buy in smaller quantities to try it out. Cost £15 for 50g its called Biosys by Ecothrive. Currently using once per week

Strawberry pie - Day 69

Just shy of ten weeks old and looking good. Defintley behind the breeder guidelines for harvest already and I'd say its a couple of weeks from the chop still but I'm happy with how she looks. She's frosting up alot now and some real buds are developing. Still only very small but I think il definitley yield ateast 1 0z or more . That should see me through till the others come down with some trim hash or something aswell so I'm happy. Starting to smell lovely. Had a nice deep funky smell for a little while but there's definitely some sweet Berry starting to thrive in there too . I can't wait to smoke this, I feel like a kid on Christmas :biggrin:

Gelato 1 -Day 46

Definitely the runt of the litter but still growing very well . Much larger than the strawberry pie so I defintley can't complain . Taken well to the scrog but its firing out plenty of pistols so I'm not training anymore. I decided to trim back the scrog to make it easier to water

Gelato 2 Day- 45
Allways been the champ and still is . Nice flat canopy and plenty of bud sites , couldn't be happier with her

AK47 Day - 46

Looking a little bit sad I think she might be a little ahead of the other two and maybe needs her feed adjusting . Plenty of pistols on her now and the branches are looking really thick.

Here's a family shot , not exactly filling a 4×4 but it's enough for me.

I do like that strawberry pie, looking good, I prefer the sweet and fruity strains myself, your have to let me know how she smokes, was thinking of strawberry Pie for next grow.

Definitley enjoy the fruity strains myself but I like some deep dank in there too . I'm thinking this one will be a winner . I'll let you know how it smokes for sure , not long now. I'm thinking this will be last week of feed then 1 week flush and chop . I can't wait :jump:

Good for you. timberrrrrrrrrr
 
Another good week of growth for the most part . Had one fuck up unfortunately. My electric went out when I was in work , fortunately it was during lights off but the fans went out and humidity got to 90% . Definitley seems sketchy but I think i got away with it . The garden is now all fully flowering and im gettin excited to give the strawberry pie the chop.


Strawberry pie - Day 76

Shes lookin amazing these days and smelling even better . Shes really testing my patience , I'm dying to give her the chop but shes not there yet . I think this will be the last week of feed and the another week of flush so about 90 days total I think . Iv got a loupe and digital microscope and will be checking trichomes as I go so we shall see .

Gelato 1 -Day 53
Looking good , not the biggest but definitley filled out nicely and loads of bud sites.

AK47 -Day 53
This girl is a monster by my modest standards . Super thick stems all over , the canopy spread is like a giant naan bread and she is a thirstyyyy girl .

Gelato - Day 52

Looking a little bit hungry like the rest of the girls .Think I dropped the nitrogen too much too early but I think iv remedied it now. Happy with the way this girl is looking too. I've definitely done better with these 3 than the SP so far .

Another good week of growing . The strawberry pie is very close to the finish line and all the other 3 are well into flowering so the tent is smelling lovely and looking good . Iv definitely enjoyed this new hobby during lockdown .

Strawberry pie - Day 83
Shes looking amazing these days, really been fattening up lately. Had her last feed today and its gonna be a 1 week flush then harvest next Saturday. Iv already seen some Amber's in the trichome forest so I think any point from now is sweet . I'm hoping iv got 2 0z from it but whatever I get is good because the buds look nice to me .

Not much to say about the other 3 , there well into flowering and stretching quite a bit . The AK seems to be a week ahead or so of the 2 gelatos but everything is going strong .
