Slartibarfast Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hi, does my latest grow look okay health wise? Any risks of growing an auto this big? The plant is a Fastbudz C4 Auto in 20l pot with coco. She's about 6 weeks in and I have both LST'ed and Supercropped a bit. My only concern is that my last grow that was this big ended up growing some really thin airy buds. But that was from a pack of free seeds from Cape Ape.

PsyCLown Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Looks good and healthy to me. Maybe try and open up the canopy a bit to ensure the light penetrates the canopy and reaches all bud sites, as long as you have enough light for the plant then nothing to worry about. What light are you running? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibarfast Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Awesome, thank you. Should I just pull the branches down to the sides to open the canopy? I have a Bestva 600W LED Reflector COB. Ran a few grows with it, mostly good just had the 1 plant that wasn't great.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Just try manipulate the plant to ensure as many of the budsites get light as possible and that leaves are not blocking the light and also to ensure there is sufficient airflow through the canopy. Doesn't look terribly dense though, so shouldn't be too much of a worry but will still help a bit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibarfast Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Awesome thank you, I appreciate the advice. Will get to it, quite excited to see these purple budsSent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakstein420 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 She looks really good to me bru, you got her nice and bushy. My plant grew straight up with one main cola. As mentioned above, try to open up that canopy to let light through and tuck the leaves that covering bud sites. I can already see the purple bud starting, they are beautiful when trichomes are sparkling and pistils have turned orange. Wait for the smell bru, it's hard to describe but a real treat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The look of these buds was the main reason I got these seeds, I can't wait to see those purple buds :DSent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibarfast Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Purple really starting to come through :DSent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibarfast Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Things seem to be going well with the switch to a quantum light. There was a bit of curl and yellowing of the leaves, which I think was ligjt burn related. I have raised the light since, does not seem to be getting worse. Buds are starting to dense up :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 That is some beautiful colour change happening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibarfast Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 Leaves are yellowing quite a bit, is it because it's close to harvest or light burn? The light was raised to about 50cm a few days ago and light lowered to 170 from 190Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibarfast Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Seems to be drooping and getting a bit worse. Anyone have any advice? I raised the light further now and lowered the power. @Bakstein420 was it similar for you at over 8 weeks in?

Prom Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 What breeder? As around the flowers still green, I would guess life cycle... if your pot is not super heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I had any issues with drooping at end of flower, leaves were always perky. Are you using any nutes? How often do you water? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 50% nute mix and 50% waterSent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prom Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) You actually know if you have to water or not if your pot is heavy.. don't water. Your drooping is most likely excessive water.. as your colas are a bit small to be end of cycle. Edited December 27, 2020 by Prom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibarfast Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Oh I never thought of that. Well next water is Tuesday will give it a skip and see on Wednesday. I do check about knuckle deep and it does seem dry. I am using coco. Would over watering cause yellowing? Looks a little like a nitrogen deficiency from what I have seen online Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Your leaves look very heavy. I am no Coco dude.. you might wanna suck up to @CreX or @PsyCLown I agree that Nitrogen deficiency will yellow your leaves. BUT.. that happens on all the leaves, also the fresh grown ones. Yours look green to me.. what points to to wet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been looking good with my every 3rd day watering the whole way so far.Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 They consume quite a bit less end flower.. like they consume way less in the beginning. I never water before I checked the pot.. simple habit. Lifted the Gelato this morning.. gets it in the evening, just not light enough this morning. At the end of the life cycle, the plants will remove the resources, they still want to use, and yellow leaves out and let the leaves die. But that usually starts bottom plant. When a Auto goes end life cycle, she even does that to the sugar leaves. Then you know.. better check for harvest asap. Went quick over to Fastbuds to check the C4 data. Took a bit longer as they changed their website.. duration is now "Flowering".. what makes it a bit silly to read, Photos have a flower time. As the Gelato has also "Flowering Time" 9 weeks. Must be plant cycle. 11 Dec you made the post, that your plants are about 6 weeks old. we are 2 week plus.. so 8 weeks in.. you are coming to the end. That yellowing might just be that the plant gives up on the fan leaves. But they still look very heavy to me. Who told you how to fertilize your plants? Any reason why you gave 50% of the.. I guess recommended strength on the bottles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first coco grow and when reading online it sounded like diluted nutes with every water is what you should do Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yes, for sure not done yet.. they look like they need 2-3 more weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
