Lighting The Bucket Strikes Back! (3 autos with LEDs)

We'll se about that, brokencage! The little one Assorted#2 has the older leaves all curled and twisted, with red stems and veins. Probably because of several deficiencies, overwatering and pH disorders. I checked her today and it looks more or less the same, although the newer leaf sets look better formed and greener than the older growth. I will be probably NOT using coco anytime soon. Too much hassle for such a small plant and pot. Soil is so much more forgiving ;)

BTW I also checked the 3 grown plants and it looks like there are a lot more amber trichs showing up. I might chop them soon.

Maybe not all 3 at once, but the Fast Bud really looks ripe now and will definitely be the 1st one. I have to say, it is a great plant, with great looks and smell. I am really happy I purchased these seeds. I hope the smoke lives up to the looks!

The Green Poison does not have any orange pistils showing, and it looks like this concrete phenotype is more white/yellow than the other plants. It has small and compact buds filled with resin and even though it looks as if it was not ripe yet, the microscope shows lots of amber trichs near the flowers. Lower fan leaves are yellowing too so this one is near the end as well!

The Assorted#1 is also filled with resin. This one is probably the least ripe of the three, with only 10% or so amber trich heads. I might leave her be for another week or so.

I will upload some pics later. Thanks for passing by! Regards,

:peace:
 
That fast bud should be real good, it just won a Italian cannabis cup award.:) Grats

That's good to hear! These seeds are cheaper now than a few months ago (I think 3 seeds go for less than 15€). Great stuff considering that they are the cheapest ones almost everywhere ;) and now a prize winner! Awesome :D

Thanks for the info!
 
I flushed all 3 big plants today. Also checked with a microscope again. The FB has lots of amber trichs in some places, less in others (lower budsites). The same happens to the GPA and the Assorted#1, although there are less brown heads overall on these two. I will probably be chopping the FB this weekend, after the soil has dried a bit so it helps with bud drying times. I have already put 2 more seeds to germinate :D I like the 3-liter pot approach, so I will probably be using them again. And filling the gaps with smaller 1-liter pots looks like a good idea (at least for now, because I have like 12 or 13 seeds I can use). We'll see what those 1 liter pots are capable of!

Some pics: first the Green Poison Auto (64 days old)

Next, the Assorted Auto#1 (63 days old):

Now the Fast Bud (63 days old):

The poor Assorted Auto#2 (27 days old). Greener than before, but not good looking at all... We'll see about this one too! For now, it does not bother me because I have the space for her. But I'm not optimistic...

Finally the Sweet Skunk Auto (13 days old):

Comparing these last 2 pics makes me wonder, why the heck did I bother with coco for the Assorted#2! Hehehe I only wish she recovers just a little and produces enough for 1 joint at least! Poor plant, I can't just dispose of her. With some love I hope to get some reward, no matter how small it is!

As always thanks for passing by! Good night! :peace:
 
Well, today was harvest day for the Fast Bud and the Green Poison Auto. Both plants had plenty resin, more than 50% amber trich heads on the main budsites and a grrrrrreat smell. The Fast Bud smells kind of skunky, with hints of mint. The Green Poison Auto improved the smell a lot these last days, and smells more like lemons or citric fruits. Both were really sticky to manipulate :D

I don't have many pics of the process because my phone batteries ran off while I was harvesting them. I only have pics of the Fast Bud harvest, I will take some of the Green Poison Auto later. I am REALLY happy with the Fast Bud, because after hanging all the buds in the drying box, it looks like the amount I got off this plant alone is almost as much as I got off the Pandora! The Green Poison Auto was also a decent yielder although it was quite a bit less. Here are some pics of teh Fast Bud yield:

fb1.jpg fb2.jpg fb3.jpg

I hand trimmed the biggest fan leaves, and left the leaves which are covered with resin (I think they are decent smoke and protect the bud when it's dry). After trimming both plants I had enough sticky matter to get a mini hash ball, which I smoked and enjoyed quickly afterwards :D

The other big plant, the Assorted Auto #1, will be harvested a bit later. There are not many amber trichs, so I will leave her to mature a bit more.

The sick one, the Assorted Auto #2, looks more or less the same than before. Not very good, that is. I just hope she takes off and at least makes for a joint!

The youngest one, the Sweet Skunk Auto, is looking great. Some leaves have mini burns in their tips, probably because of the soil mix (I did not add any nutes for now).

After harvesting the FB and the GPA I refilled the pots with fresh soil mix and planted the newest additions for the bucket: another Fast Bud and another Sweet Skunk Auto. Both seeds had 1 cm radicles so they went straight to the soil. Hope they do well!

That's it for now, I will try to take pics of teh GPA harvest results and also a general view of the bucket. Now I am cycling plants with different ages, so I won't be creating another thread. I will continue my grow log here so everything is condensed and at hand. Thanks for reading! Best regards!

:peace:
 
Thank you mate ;)

I took a pic of the other plant results, the Green Poison Auto harvest:

gpa.jpg

It's a lower yield compared to the Fast Bud's but it smells really nice and also is well covered with snow :D I'm happy with the results so far! Measuring pH and ec has helped me not to screw the plants too much, and now I love this reward :D

Unfortunately I didn't include a reference in that pic, it is inside a box of the same size than the previous pic (a shoe cardboard box)
The remaining Assorted#1 looks great too. It will be probably the biggest yielder of the 3, I can't wait to sample each one and see the differences! :drool:

Thanks for reading!
:peace:
 
Hi all! Today I flushed the remaining big plant, the Assorted Auto #1. It looks real good right now. Some leaves are yellowing and also showing hints of a reddish color. There are more brown trich heads too, although they are not plenty yet. I will leave her to mature completely. She's 66 days old:
aa1.jpg aa2.jpg aa3.jpg

On the other hand we have here the poor little Assorted Auto #2. An awful coco experiment has made her look that bad... There are no significant signs of improvement, and sometimes I wonder if I should throw her away and start with a new seed. But, seeing as I have enough green at the moment, I will leave her be at least for a little while, and see if she really can do anything at all. We'll see... She's 30 days old:
assorted#2.jpg

And finally here is the good looking Sweet Skunk Auto. She's my entry for the new 32oz Competition! It's on a 950ml liter pot :D I wanted the pot to be as close to 32oz as possible hehehe. She is 16 days old now:

That's it for the moment. Hope you enjoy the reading! Best regards,

:peace:
 
Hey all! Today I took some more pics of my girls. First the AssortedAuto#1. I flushed her again today. There are lots of brown trichs now but not over all budsites. Only the bigger ones are almost 50% brown, the others are mostly transparent/white yet, so I will be waiting a bit more. I love the color ;)
aa1.jpg aa2.jpg

The AssortedAuto#2 looks a bit better. Still recovering, looks a bit greener and somewhat bigger:
assorted#2_1.jpg assorted#2_2.jpg

The Sweet Skunk Auto looks good too. It's getting bushy enough to cover the small corner where I put her, I'm wondering if applying LST is even viable or useful in a pot like this...
ssa.jpg

Finally a general view. There are 2 new plants in 3 liter pots: one new Sweet Skunk Auto and another Fast Bud. The former FB was really nice, I just wish I can repeat such a good grow!

Thanks for reading! See ya all!

:peace:
