Aeromatics I have seen some really great results from Banana Purple Punch Auto from Fastbuds, and I hope to have some fun with this one! I am using a 5-gallon pot and will utilize LST throughout vegetation to maximize this indica-dominant hybrid’s yield.
Since I am using Happy Frog soil as my medium, I will slowly introduce Ventana Plant Science nutrients throughout the grow at ⅛ to ¼ strength, looking to read the plant as she progresses.
I will be growing her in my 4 x 2 tent, and I have several other autos growing at the same stage. This means I’ll be able to control DLI, temperature, and humidity a bit more in terms of plant cycle, as opposed to growing several different plants at different stages in the same tent. You may see some of the other girls in the background of any pictures!
Medium
I’ll be using the same medium as another recent autoflower I started: Sherbet Queen. I originally tried to start a Hyperion F-1 in this soil, but I think the Coast of Maine seed starter was too dry. I’ll be sure to monitor that during germination and early seedling stages.
I mixed 3 gallons of Happy Frog with 1 gallon of Perlite. Additionally, I put 1.5 gallons of hydroton and perlite in the base for drainage. Additionally, I added 6 tablespoons of Mykos for extra mycorrhizal in my soil. I REALLY want a massive root structure with this one.
I dug a bit of a hole where I plan to put the germinated seed and added some COM Seed Starter blend.

Aeromatics Germination went well enough, there was a bit of a curved root. I planted her when ready and she sprouted after around 36 hours in soil.
She is growing very weird, with some leaf twisting and seems to be missing 1 cotyledon.
I watered her in with around 50/75 mls of distilled water with 1 ml/gallon of Tribus. I’ll be extra sensitive to overwatering at this stage given the initial odd growth of the seedling.
I am really looking forward to growing this one, so fingers are crossed!

Aeromatics This part of the journal sort of encompasses week 1 and 2... I am still learning how GD works!
She is looking better than expected with he weird transition from germination to seedling. I think she is starting to grow out of her deformity and I look forward to this week, where hopefully she will explode!
I have started pretty slow with watering, adding about 50 ml with 1 ml/gallon of Tribus on day 2.
On day 7, I increased her water to 100 ml with Tribus and FlaVUH. I drew a nice circle a few inches away from the seedling for the water to promote the roots spreading out in the 5-gallon pot.
Heading into day 10 and 13, I increased the water by 100 for each the last two doses, hovering at 300 ml every 2 - 3 days.
I added some Great White as well!
I moved my DLI in the tent up to 30 progressively over the last few days, and reduced the humidity to 55%.
I think I'll wait until at least day 21 to start LST, but we are looking good!

Aeromatics She is looking great!
Luckily she grew out of the weird initial mutation and is growing well heading into day 15.
Water is staying at 300 ml and I am watering around 4 inches from stem base in a circle to encourage root growth.
We are going to operate the same circumstances for this week: DLI has been increased in the tent, generally, to 32. It's a bit early in the grow cycle for this intense of DLI, but I have several plants in the tent and it looks like she is taking to the increase well enough. I added 1 tsp/g of Tribus, FlaVUH, and Great White Mycor, but I will look to add some nutrients at 1/8 strength starting in week 4.
Low stress training will continue this week with small staking and tweeks here and there to expose node growth.
For now, we are looking solid!
@Fast_Buds, thank you! First time growing seeds from you all. From what I've seen from all the wonderful diaries, I can't wait to see how this turns out!
