end off heat stress re-arrangement of room ____________________________________________ light- and watering schedule: see photos now: 12 plants 2 x Auto Orange Bud > Dutch Passion (early80's) 2 x Haze Berry Automatic > Royal Queen Seeds (2018) 2 x Auto Bubblegum > TH Seeds (late 80's) 2 x Original Auto BubbleGum > Fast Buds Company (late 80's) 1 x Strawberry Pie Auto > Fast Buds Company 1 x Gorilla Cookies Auto Seed Stockers (2015) 2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud > Female Seeds setup + strategy: 18 seeds 3 x Auto Orange Bud (early80's) 3 x Haze Berry Automatic (2018) 3 x Auto Euforia (late 90's) 2 x Auto Bubblegum > TH Seeds (late 80's) 2 x Auto Bubblegum > Fast Butts (late 80's) 2 x Strawberry Pie Auto 1 x Gorilla-Cookies Auto (2015) 2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud setup: 18 x gronest 2 liter 60 cm x 120 cm x 180 cm (2 x 4) growtent 4 l humidifier 25 watt axial fan 15 watt clip fan ro-filter bath room with a 50 watts room fan (-> carbon filter not necessary) ...and a lot of odds and ends. grow strategy: max yield by stressing with: 1. tiny shoes (2 l fabric pots standing on 3 plastic rings (4 cm) for max oxygen) 2. tiny growspace (18plants on 0.72 sqm) 3. many strains (8 strains) 4. annoying neighbourhood (mixing old - i.e. bubblegum (late 80's) - with young- i.e. hazeberry (2018) - genetics) 5. no stress by light or food or water 6. unintentionally too much food plus: - no lst - no hst - just leaf tucking - positioning bigger strains (euphoria, orange bud, haze berry) or just bigger phenos on less intense light spots (end of tent + edges) - music-rotation: 24 hrs reggae (for sativas) - 24 hrs classicals (because it's scientifically proofed) - 24 hrs traditionals from the hindukush region (for the indicas) max efficiency (min electricity - max yield): - light: 23 h on - 1 h off - keeping the distance of 18" (45 cm) and dimming to the right par (lux) - value depending on growing stages (see sheet: beginning 185 par ( 10000 lux/100 watt )/end 340 par ( 18000 lux/175 watt )) => ends up in approx. 170 watts in average over max 15 weeks temperatur management: - using approx. max. half of what the lamp can do keeps temperature low: my tsl 2000 is pulling max. 360 watts of the wall - i need only 175 watts, results in less temperature than using a 175 watts lamp - adjusting the temperature by using a humidifier outside of tent: blown in humidity is soaking degrees and is transported out by fan, works much better than doing the same with pure air summer extreme: no humidifier: 36°C / 35 rh - with humidifier: 29°C / 65 rh works for 1-2 weeks of real hot summer days, no mould, no signs of stress in two summers germination: seeding in waterglass spraying "basic"-water: ro-water (22 ppm) + calmag to 180 ppm every 4 - 8 hours until sprouted man versus fungus gnat: 5 days before seeding i'm running the tent with "basic"-watered pots as if there were plants inside - led on, fans on, humidifier on. Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

She had a simple life little lst but thats about it she looked small as a plant but ended up being my highest yeild plant over 100 grams dry flower had couple problems with me feeding to much but sorted out just fine overall its a nice plant to grow very quickly and easy just don't get carried away with food my experience less additives the better grow simple with autos from fastbuds especially 2 or 3 additives is plenty or your gonna run the risk of buring them 😤 grow for this plant was 10/10 hardly any effort needed 70 quick days

Back on track with feeding schedule. Yay! Last week I removed all the lower branches that were not hit by the light. This should move move energy to the top. Look at the buds, aren’t they lovely? I’m in love with this Euphoria, you know... ❤️

Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. Man have these plants taken off. Man what a stretch. I've only seen sativa's grow this tall this fast. Some of these plants have 6 inches between leaf nodes. Wow. Got to get in here this week and do my final trim/prune. Paying attention to taking off the sucker branches, Opening up the middle for better air flow. And taking off some top fanleaves off for better light penetration. And putting another string around them to hold them together. They are getting tall. It's pretty damp around here, got all sorts of mushrooms growing out of the ground around here. Don't know what they are. And I'm not going to eat them. Took one, of the large brown ones to the mushroom club a few years ago and he said it's no good to eat. Won't kill you but you'll be sitting on the can for a while. It's been time for my 3 1/2 year cancer check up. Went to the ENT doctor yesterday. She couldn't find anything to be concerned about and I feel fine. Get another app. in 6 months. April. then not another for a year before they finally clear me to say cancer free. Still taking my RSO at 1/2 strength these days. .5 g a day. Feel Fine. 😃 Showed around my main grow room in the video. I'm not doing a diary on these plants but want to show you my best plants. Got some fungus gnats flying around. Was gnat free all summer, but they came in, in the fall. Got some nematodes from Amazon but the package seemed dry when I opened it. Don't know if any nematodes were still alive in the bags, but I mixed it up in water and applied it to the roots. So we'll see. Probably old stock. Been sitting 1/2 the summer in the warehouse heat. 😒 Got my seeds picked out for the next diary. (see pics) I've got room for, and I think I'll do 16 plants, to find the best/strongest one. I'm growing indicia's for my cancer, but I really love/miss sativa's. So I'm going to try this one. The description sound great. Up to 36% ( hope I get close) and tastes of pineapple and lemon. OK. Be Great, Out There. Chuck.

We have no real game plan for flower (besides not getting overgrown lol) but size will definitely determine when we flip.. I would assume 2 more weeks at this rate of growth but time will tell.. everyone is eating a little with every watering now (water only every 3rd/4th) and things look great!

I'm REALLY excited for this grow..I think the SP-3000 will deliver us a half lb or more of Bruce Banger with very little effort..I couldn't be more in love with this setup.... .....until i buy my 2nd SP-3000 that is 😸 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

4 Tarte Tatin in this 5th week, 🌗Switching to flowering this week, I reduced the length of the day by 1 hour each day until reaching 12 hours night time / 12 hours daylight on the 33rd day!👌 🌺On the 33rd day I apply a layer of organic nutrients mixed with a little soil that I add to the top of each pot. I added 35 grams of BioBloom to each of my pots🌺 There is one that has gained more height, I will soon have to adjust the other pots to the same! 🎄Tarte Tatin genetics = Caramel Apple Gelato x King’s Tart ️ ------------------------------------------------------------ 💧Watering I water all my pots the same day but with more or less water. Simply by lifting them; A light pot is a dry pot and will need more water, A heavy pot is a wet pot and will need less water. On average I water each pot with: Day 29 : 0.5 L Day 33 : 1 L with 0.8 grams of bio enhancer/L I use tap water, adjust the ph to around 6 and water ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Temperature of the week : Day : 19-23°C (Humidity : 65-80%) Night : 14-17°C Outside the tent it is around 16°C with 70% humidity The humidity is a little too high, I hope it will drop a little and I won't have a problem with mold during flowering🤞 ------------------------------------------------------------ 🚀Equipment of the week ⭐️ : Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 95% at 50cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro. power 1/10. ON 24/24h 2 fans to circulate the air inside the tent. Each on for 30 minutes then off for 1 hour. this rhythm repeats itself in a loop I'm removing my heat mat this week. ------------------------------------------------------------ 📜Links : Tarte Tatin seeds 🌱: https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/feminised-cannabis-seeds/tarte-tatin/ Mars Hydro : 5% off with my discount code "houstone5" 💪 https://www.mars-hydro.com/?acc=hou-stone 👨‍🚀My Instagram 🌱❤️️: https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Tanks for your visit😀👌💚

Day 17 17/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag 5ml -5L. Very humid week, noticed a green turning colour on top of soils where the humidity has been far to high. I have installed door netting and recently left open all day and night now so they can condition over night in colder temps. All are doing well, one overdose slightly behind and looking ABIT swifted. But she'll come around 💪💚 Day 19 19/07/24 Friday Lite Feed today, 250ml each pot small run off. Seeing excellent start to these babies. Let's get it 👌💚 Day 21 21/07/24 Sunday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag 5ml to 5L. Watering in 1L each day from now. Updated video

Day 49 This plant looks healthier compared to the last one, but it’s still showing clear signs of stress. The leaves are drooping heavily, with some lower leaves already yellowing and fading. The overall color is a lighter green than ideal, which suggests either ongoing watering stress or nutrient uptake issues. The structure is more compact, with tighter node spacing, but the canopy lacks vigor. Growth has slowed noticeably, and the plant doesn’t have the strong, upright energy you’d expect at this stage. It feels like it’s been set back by previous stress and is now just holding on. Watering remains the most critical factor — the droop strongly hints at overwatering being the main issue. Letting the medium dry out more thoroughly before the next watering is key, and I’ll continue to be very cautious with how much water it receives at once.

I've added week 4 early so I can keep track of the nutrients bucket , I have decided too add full recomend dose of the humic acid and the more roots and have half dosed the organic veg feed , and the results from day one / first feed on green buzz nutrients too this photo today day 5 is dramatic , the photo of all four was before defoliation , but the defoliation has just shown how busy they have this week , Also a note on nutrients I learned a lesson this week , organic feeds do not store in a bucket of bubbles , I went too the bucket I made up 3 days ago and has been stored in a 20 ltr bucket with two large bubbler air stones in as I always have with no issues , But today the mixture had seporated I had like a skin on the top of the bucket , I mixed and mixed and mixed , ended up like a soup bits floating all other the place, So I suspect I will have too make up my bucket and only use the base nutrients and only add the additional addatives on the day of use , This is probably common sense too most growers but a first for me so lesson learned , So far the plants are liking what there drinking and I've had an amazing couple of weeks with temps peeking around 23.5c - 24.8c light cycle , so have really got this extraction side sorted with my recent fan and filter upgrade , I today turned the idle speed of my climate control too around 25c But all in all a really good week progress wise as you can see from week 4 photos of day one defoliation to today's photos day 6 of week 4 , the defoliation has really bought the BlackBerry kush alive from a droppy leaved sulking runt too now just 5 days later has become something very different , some say don't do it , some swear by it , I first time round didn't and the lower plant really suffered , for me by pulling off the big problem leaves or anything you know will grow into a problem early on , you get her that shock before the flower really starts too form giving her just enough time too recover before flower , but too be fair a good defoliation doesn't seem too faze fast buds strains , infact it seems too induce them too shoot out in all directions , Then giving me the chance too tigh down those side branches , and if I'm lucky enough even the main cola , my last blackberry that was an amazing plant , I managed too pull down the top stem under a net , and it gave me meany colas and all as silly thick as each other ,

First day of second week, its been 8 days since this babies sprouted, and from my newbie eyes, they seem to be growing quite happy and healthy Starting to add Bio/Grow since yesterday, going for 1ml/l for at least 2 or 3 more days, then doubling the dosage to see how they handle Day Number 11 Update> Plant 2 in the center seems to have much wider leaves than 1 and 3, obviosly because its recieving more light than the others Upping just a tiny bit of the Bio/Grow since today

Day 84. She’s been in the dark flashing and getting the ice treatment for a while. Her for leaves are starting to fade to a nice yellow. She smells to high heaven’s. I’m really excited to see how she will finish. She will be getting cut down in the next couple days. The next journal entry will be her harvest summary. I’m really happy with the way she has turned out her body structures are starting to lean down and she would be needing some help to be picked up. Mephisto never lets us down.

TH 1Q2025 - Week 6 - Bolt 3
