Thanks brother,
I was wondering about Cal/mag and Silica too.
You think I should go with a half strength boost?
Or just wait for issues to show or not?
Thanks again Hans.
It is much appreciated.

I'm really worried now I have a 4x4 with 5 plants and they're 25 days old and they're about the same size as yours were at that stage I maybe should've done less plants I didn't know these fast bud autos could fill that much space with jus 2 plants and it's my first grow I underestimated myself lol

I add cal-mag to every watering starting from day 1... I'm using RO water though so if you're using tap water you wouldn't need to start adding it until later.
I start at 1ml/l for the first few weeks, then 1.5ml through weeks 4-5, then in bloom I'm usually at full strength cal-mag (2.5ml).

Hey Mike. Yeah might have your hands full with 5 in there but I wouldn't worry to much, they will just grow to the space they are given. Some people will cram 9 or even 12 plants in that space and just focus on the main colas which can give a good yield overall.... I prefer to give them plenty of space though and try to grow some monsters

U jus answered my cal mag question too lol thank u I'm using tap water and the feeding schedule said not to use calmag till like the start of bloom but I'm using tap water and I think the other nutrients have some calmag in it to supply them till then next time I will probably do 3 plants in 4x4 to let them reach their potential

Awesome grow as usual. Hate that I didn't get to follow along. Being a full time caregiver has kept me away from here too much this year. I'm liking what I'm seeing with the auto pots. They definitely look easy and while I luv my hydroponics, I just don't have the time or the energy right now. They may be just what I'm looking for. And I definitely think I put off growing some of fast buds stuff too long. LoL. Got seeds on the way. There's just so much to try and so little time. Anyway I went back and read the journal again and I gotta tell you I just Love the ending. LoL. Those are beautiful buds. The jar shot of the blackberry was one of my favorites. WOW. Funny after all the bud I've seen that I still get that thrill from just seeing them.
Masterfully done!!! Masterfully done!!!

Hey zepher, appreciate the comment bro
I'm sure you'd love the Autopots, they have made growing pretty much effortless for me... just fill up the res once a week and watch them grow
Yeah I've been impressed with all the Fastbuds gear I've grown so far, especially the GSC... Probably going to try their Gorilla Glue next
Good luck with your next grow.

GSC Harvest

Hi Master. I was wondering if you could remember de dry weight of this beauty you grew. Absolutely astonishing! Thanks much!

Hey, yeah see post below.

Alright sorry guys forgot to update this...

Final weight on the GSC came in at 233g cured @ 62% RH. That's my second biggest haul so very happy with how this one turned out.

These buds are definitely the most dense I've grown so far as well as some of the frostiest so bag appeal is very high I mentioned how stinky this plant was during bloom and the cured buds are no exception... very powerful in your face skunky smell with some spicy / peppery notes, when opening a jar the smell instantly fills the room. Gotta be careful where you take this stuff if it's just in a zip-lock bag lol. The taste when vaped is similar to the smell so not my favourite and certainly not the "cookie" taste I was hoping for... but the high easily makes up for that however This is some very potent stuff, the high is very well balanced (both cerebral and body) and the effects are long lasting (2+ hours). My friend who's tried all my stuff says this is his favourite so that's saying something... Not sure how close it is to the original genetics but regardless it's a top quality strain and I highly recommend it.

Here's some of the final cured bud porn.

Hansbrick you are the man I have to try those autopots. You grew some of the nicest looking plants of 2016. I love your A/N schedule too basic but HUGE plants It just does not get any better. You just go to show that there is certain things that are just not needed to achieve maximum potential plus the genetics I find play a huge roll.
