Howdy folks, today is day 15 and after being away for 2 days everything WAS going great till I got home today and did some LST and snapped Ruthy's stem! Boy I felt like a peice of crap . But hey gotta man up to my mistakes and learn from em'! So I tied her back up and checked her 4 hours later and havent noticed a diffence yet. It will be interesting to see how she is effected by compairing my 2 plants now. I just got through giving them their first nuets with, Happy frog fruit and flower organic fertilizer 5-8-4 in a tea mixture I let bubble for 4 hours. Supposed to be autoflower steroids so we shall see! They have both shown sex and seem to be flourishing.

Thats all for now, I will update with results of nuets, lst, and results of Ruthy's tragidy. Thanks for lookin and send some good vibes out for mah babies.

Man that sucks about the break. Those are some lovely ladies you've got there though. I'd love to see pictures of the buds when they flower.

looking good hopfuly ruthy will be ok..ill be checking in to see how yur autos come out

Howdy folks, today is day 18! Boy did they love the nuets I gave them. Got a slight burn but I think it'll be alright. They are becoming little light monsters and eating my 30,000 lumens up! Ruthy has healed nicely and isnt far behind lucy! I have LST both of them and dont think I'll be doing much more of that. I have also changed my lighting to 4x3000k and 2x6400k to help them flower! They are becoming very bushy so I also raised my light 1.5" . I have also tucked some of the fan leaves blocking the new side branch growth. It seems to work very well.

Thats it for now, thanks for looking! I think this one is going to turn out nicely!

growing nicley color looks real healthy..good job happy to here shes doing ok.

Hellooooooooo. Today is day 21 and them ladies are starting to get purdy! I did a flush today with 6.0 ph'd water. Did a little more lst and leaf tucking to get some tops out from under the leaves, nothing hardcore. Ruthy is getting extremely bushy because of my accidental super crop to her! As of now Lucy has 7 exposed tops, and Ruthy has 7 that you cant see in the pic but they'll be sticking out tommorow! Lucy also surprised me today with the first set of 9 leaves! I didnt think they would produce anymore than 7. Dont really have to much to say, just a quick update!

Here they are at home.

Ya papa, I fed them happy frog fruit and flower on day 15. Today they got a flush.

They are looking great man GJ .....

Howdy everybody, today is day 23. I try to keep myself from updating, but hell I need to share it with someone besides the ol' lady and araltus. I did some LST on Ruthy today, exposed many new bud sites and hopefully they will shoot up past the canopy. Lucy is doing wonderful, lots of open room for light to get in and the side branches have done a perfect job getting bud sites from under the canopy. I have also added a 42w 2700k CFL right in the middle of my plants. I will be adding another 2 eventually. My next watering will be PH'd water with mollasses because they still seem to be showing slight signs of nuet burn at the tips of new growth. Sorry to be an update whore, but you guys just gotta get used to it!

Thats it for now, thanks for following!

Nobody is loving this grow!? There has to be someone that has something to say besides 2 people. This is going to be an AMAZING t5 grow, you guys just wait and see.

cmon man shits coming along nice been moving houses so havent really had the chance to post ther looking good.i just potted a couple germinated autos today.

Looking awesome man, I loooooove short fat autos.
Your LST is also looking really really good, i must say. Everything is exposed masterfully.
They look perfectly healthy as well, so whatever you are doing, keep doing it.
I shall be back to check ur progress

Thanks for looking guys, I fed ruthy some molasses last night and Lucy got some tiger bloom, decided I would take the risk with nuet burn! I will probably be updating Sunday.

Whats up everybody, today is day 28. I fed Lucy some Fox Farm Tiger Bloom on day 25 and she is going crazy! She grew an 1.5" in a day, and the main cola grew into my light before I could check them! I made the decision to not feed Ruthy any nuets with some consulting from my friend, so she was fed ph'd water with ~1 tbsp of molasses. 2 days after being watered her leaves began to droop, and have a slight yellow tint to them. I thought it might be over watering, and that still might be the case, but I do believe it could also N deficiency because she has gone 2 feedings without nuetrients. Poor Ruthy, if its not me breaking her in half, it will be starving her! Shes had a tough life, and shes a tough girl for hangin in there for my first grow! However it seems that my accidental super cropping has made her produce lots of bud sites! I counted up to 13 today! And there are alot more underneath the canopy. I hope me causing her so much stress doesnt hurt her harvest too much, cause shes gonna have lots of nugs. Lucy has a good solid 8 buds with a few more coming in. Lucy has been the perfect specimen so far, I couldnt be more proud of her! Probably because I always make my mistakes with Ruthy first then correct them with Lucy lol.

Anyways things have been going great, buds are about to start filling in, and maybe I'll start seeing some THC production on the leaves within the next week. I will be making my ONA bucket this weekend, my deoderizers are starting to be no match for these stinky ladies. Boy I sure do love me some smelly girls!

Top of Ruthy, as you can see shes not doing so well.


Look at all them buds! Main cola is at bottom right. I pulled it down so other buds could get more light.


And this is Ruthy's under side. Its crazy down there!


Thats it for now, thanks for following. Hopefully next time there will be some great bud porn to show.

Quick update, I believe Ruthy has N defficiency for sure now, although she doesnt seem to be getting any worse. I will be feeding with my happy frog fruit and flower tea mixture next feed. I have also added another 2700k 55w CFL which puts me up to 40,000k lumens.

very very nice.

M8 they look awesome, GJ, i hope mine turns out as good urs, they look great.

Howdy folks, today is day 33. Lucy was just fed 3/4 srength happy frog fruit and flower tea mixture today. Her growth seems to be slowing down some, but that could be because she got a flush last watering. Ruthy was fed nuets 4 days ago and she seemed to make a complete 180. She has actually filled out more than lucy so far! She will be getting a flush today as well. I've been checking the PH level in my soil and it stays between 6.0-6.5 so I must be doin somethin right! They are drinkin water alot faster, went from 5 days down to 4, and im thinking it wont be long before they get to 3 days. They are finally starting to fill in, and produce some THC. I also stumbled across this great information on another site saying that if you bubble your water (nuets or plain) it helps get oxygen to the roots. I started doing that this watering and hopefully I can put some proof behind the science.

"The method is a follows. You can do this to any type of water that you are using to feed with I prefer rain. May it be tap (let it set for a day), Distilled, R.O., rain or filtered water all of these will keep a perfect pH balance as well as bring a whole new level of life and growth to the plants. So this is what you need to do. I use 1 gallon jugs to hold my water while i add the o2 to it. After you have filled your Jugs and pH'ed them to the correct level drop the pump into the water and let it bubble. I run my pumps 24/7 to do 2 things. 1. This allows the water to have the maximum o2 it can have at all times. If the water temp drops you can cram more dissolved o2 into the water. 2. Keeps the pH perfect in the water at all time all the way to the end of the jug.

So when you apply this water several things happen to your advantage.
1. The roots get a high oxygenated dose of perfect pH'ed water which allows maximum uptake by the roots allowing the plant to eat.
2. As the water temp rises in the soil it begins releasing more o2 into the root system, giving them more time to grab the available o2 in the water.
3. All of the o2 keeps the root system healthy as well as keeps any pathogens at bay with the extra o2"

I have been doing alot of reading, and I believe my next grow will go alot smoother. And the results should be 10x better! I will be growing in the autoflower grow-off.

I must say that I am pleased with my work so far. Seeing as its my first grow. Although I cant say that im completely happy with it. I've looked at other photos of this strain and noticed that they seemed to be filling in alot faster than mine are. Not sure if its something I've been doing. I've also had to trim a few fan leaves on the bottom that were laying on soil or dying. And as you can see they have SOME nuet burn, this strain says that it is very sensitive so hopefully with my next 3 seeds I can fix this problem. However, im not bitchin, just sayin Im not perfect! Anyways on to the pics!...
