I have a very small bit of powdery mildew on the girls. I have been using CuSo4-copper sulphate about every 3 days to keep it at bay. It seems to be working really well. They look great, are happy and are working hard on plumping up their flowers. I have 4-6 weeks until harvest would be my guess. Fingers crossed I can keep the effing PM from taking over. 😬

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2202 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 1/19- Here we go into Week Four of flower and these testers are ON FIRE!🔥🔥🔥 Both testers are in a flower frenzy and are ready to eat! Today I gave both girls their last top dressing with Down To Earth 4-8-4 Flower Mix at a ratio of 2tbsp/g and Coast of Maine's Stonington Blend 5-2-4 Organic Plant Food at a ratio of 1tbsp/g which I simplified by using 1/3 cup of the 4-8-4 and 1/4 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 4g pot and 3/8 cup of 4-8-4 and 1/8 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 3g pot. After working the amendments into the medium, I watered it in with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. It will take a week for the microbes to begin breaking it down and will last for 3-4 weeks after that which should coincide with them finishing up, or close to it, enabling them to naturally 'flush' themselves out. The #1 tester that has had the weird coloring and leaf texture is a beast @ 26" tall and I'm happy that she's come around! In my experience, more times than not I've had plants with issues when they started and debated yanking them but let them stay and all, and I mean every one, have turned out to be epic. I guess it's just dumb luck, or the fact I hate to kill any plants if I don't have to! 😎💚 The # 2 is doing exceptional as well and is beginning to get some purple coloration of the leaves in her flowers! I've also increased the power to the HLG 650R's the the Trolmaster Hydro X Controller to 75% which has them pulling 990w at the wall and have them hung 32" above canopy. I also starting adding in 4 hours of UVA during the middle of the light cycle for the remainder of flower. I've been monitoring their leaf temperatures and they're running 71-73℉ which is perfect! I have the AutoPilot APC8200 co2 Controller set to 1100ppm with a 100ppm window and the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 controller set to maintain a 74℉ temperature in the tent while the lights are on. 1/21- I'm watering these thirsty girls daily with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉ and they're both thriving! The #2 pheno stays in a perpetual state of 'praying'.... a VERY happy girl she is and the #1 is showing signs of purple coloration in her flowers! 1/23- I watered/fed both testers today with 0.75g of de-chlorinated water each with GreenGro's Natures Brix, Granular Myco and Flower Finisher mixed in, after which I added 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses and then ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉. They'll be getting straight water from here moving forward as the medium has enough food in it to support them until they finish. 1/25- Daily watering continued today with both girls receiving 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. OMG they're both looking fantastic with both looking tall and proud with a beautiful purple coloration expressing in their flowers and even into the leaves of the #2! I'm really looking forward to Week Five of flower where these ladies should really start to strut their stuff! 😍💚 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Ello ello ello, week 11's past and week 12 begins. Here's a timelapse, and more updates come as the week goes; of course. UKBS 2 experienced some great growth this week. Carl 2 had what seemed to be a stunted main growth tip so I topped it, it's recovering nicely. UKBS 1 and Carl 1 are overcrowding the tent, I'll be flipping to flower within the next couple of weeks here, given that the plants aren't sick or injured. 4/23/2021- Put the two indoor plants into scrog netting, repotted Carl 2 to a bigger pot (15gal) as well as UKBS 1 to a 5gal. Flipping to flower after UKBS 1's next watering.

This plant already gives off an intense aroma of dark grapes and blueberries. Beneath the many brown pistils lies a solid, resinous bud.

This week marked the true start of early flower for the outdoor girls. Bud sites began to form across all three plants, with fine white pistils just starting to appear at the tops. The 5-gallon plant showed the earliest transition, while the two 3-gallon pots lagged slightly behind but followed the same pattern by the end of the week. Overall size remained compact — they’re still small, with only modest stretch so far. Color stayed light to medium green, a sign they’re still settling into the bloom phase and pulling nutrients upward. Weather was warm and humid at times, especially after light rain early in the week, so you kept airflow up and sprayed Lost Coast Plant Therapy around Sept 30 and Oct 2 as part of your pest-prevention routine. No new top-dress or compost tea this week; they’re still feeding off previous amendments while roots adjust to flower demand. Week 7 was a quiet transition phase — pistils popping, structure tight, and the first real signs that flowering has begun.

Well.. nice start of a new week. Still stretching so today changing water for fresh water. Going to level up the EC from tapwater 0.3 tot 0.7 with CalMag before adding nutrients. Then raising the EC to 2.2 I hope (depending on the PH not dropping below 5.8). Hopefully they will consume less water and therefore stop stretching.. We will just see what happens. Easy to lower EC afterwards and also easy to raise PH. I just have to add some tapwater. 13/7 some shortages and maybe too much light. Reducing time with half an hour daily. Raised EC to 2.3

Moving on up 🚚💨... the girls get some more space today 🏠, 5 liter pots with some fresh soil, more light and more air to shimmy those leaves... keeping on growing 🌱🌿🌳 The Banana Hammock showing its prowess in the middle of the first picture... looking forward to the coming weeks as I dive head first into some topping, fiming and a whole lotta fun 😅

For weeks 9-10-11-12: It was now May 2020 and the ambient temperatures combined with no exhaust fans were raising temperatures to almost 30 degrees celcius. Way too much. So I rushed to find an oscillating fan and also a so-called inline fan with carbon filter for the smells that started to develop and for exhaust of hot air, trying to control too high temps.

This girl is only for seed…hopefully, i didn't create a hermaphrodite generation of seeds as I've heard too much seeds cause this…i am smelling the light berry in her.…i await the first ripe seed to replant.

🍻 to Week Two of 🌸🌺🌻!!! Looks like all is well. Scrogged & did my last foliar feed of Magic Green last night, the girls look upright and healthy as can be. Trainwreck still thriving. May nickname this plant Batman, seems impenetrable. G13 is responding crazy to the light... the sites under the light are a bright green, yet those far from light are dark green. Tough to say it's a nutrient problem as the plant looks healthy, just light in color. Banana was initially the bully of the group. If you look at the first two weeks of this plant, you'd think Trainwreck was her and vice versa. IMO, I think Trainwreck and G13 just teamed up and took over the tent leaving little space for Banana to expand its sites. This was my most anticipated grow, oh well, next time I'll grow it by itself and make sure that one plant fills the whole tent. Looking forward to the pistil production and 🤞 they all stay in schedule and are ready to harvest in about 7 more weeks which would be exactly April 20th.... Ta-Da!!! Day 56 Update (3/7/21): Trainwreck and G13 are nearing 30 inches tall while Banana is around 27 inches and GSC is 22 inches. Going to lightly trim on Day 58, and then a HEAVY SCROG & DEFOLIATION on Day 59, The start of Week 3 of Flower. Looking forward to seeing them bare naked and then bushy again... I hope 🤞🤞🤞 EC is much higher than I'd like it right now at 2.02, but the plants aren't showing any signs of stress. I may toss GSC and just give more room for G13 and Trainwreck to spread their canopies. but I've been catering to it for this long, might as well see it through.

Ab geht es in die 2. Woche PPFD wert wird auf 225-250 hochgeschraubt Lux wird von 7k auf c.a 8.500 - 9.000 in 18H angepasst Lampenabstand bleibt vorerst gleich da die Blätter sich meiner Meinung nach hervorragend ausprägen. Temperatur wird Tagsüber zwischen 25 und 27 Grad maximal gehalten bei einer konstanten Luftfeuchtigkeit von 65%+ Heute am dritten Tag der Woche habe ich mich dazu entschlossen die Ladys in ihren finalen Topf zu Pflanzen, da mir dies öfters geraten wurde und ich leider diesen Fehler von Anfang an hätte vermeiden sollen. - Falls ich nochmal zu Automatik greife, werde ich diese direkt in den finalen Topf geben - Gute 48h nach dem Umtopfen ist ein deutlicher fortschritt am Blattwerk zu sehen, meiner Meinung nach haben sie das Umtopfen bisher gut überstanden

Hoy hago trasplante a 7 L ! Maceta definitiva! Empieza el crecimiento foco led 450w a 110cm al 25% , 112w . Debido al frío , voy a cultivar por las noches hasta las 12 de la mañana y parar 4 horas. Así intentare mantener en la oscuridad del cultivo la temperatura más cálida de exterior. Y la extracción por el momento trabaja 15 min. cada 90 min.

Pablo Escobar is coming to a end. She has some nice frosty colas on her. She has a fruity smell with a pine undertone. Her feed was pretty strong and it probably effected my final yield. She will still provide several ounces once she is processed. I have not has a good sativa in some time. She smells very good. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️ Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇.

🌸 Runtz - Week 2 of Flowering Update 🌸 This plant continues to impress me! 💜 The structure is beautiful, and it’s growing strong with a healthy appetite. I can already see the first signs of fading, which tells me it's hungry for more nutrients. Everything is progressing smoothly, and I’m really happy with how it looks at this stage. For the last feeding, I gave it Plagron Terra Bloom with an EC of around 1.3. The plan moving forward is to maintain stable conditions around 1.2 VPD until the first signs of frost appear on the buds. Regular feeding will continue, keeping EC above 1.0 to support healthy flower development. Grow Conditions (FLO Week 2): 🌞 Light schedule: 12/12 🌱 PPFD: 750 µmol/m²/s 💧 VPD: ~1.2 kPa Can’t wait to see how it stacks up in the coming weeks! 🔥
