This week, i transplanted the girls to the final pots. I' ve just realized that autopot has 8,5l pots for my trays so I ordered some. I prefer smaller pots to my previous 15ls. So, they are in 8,5l autopots with air domes on the bottom. Around 5cm of aqua pebbles on the bottom too, prewashed and soaked in 5,8 ph water. Then coco mixed with aqua pebbles around 66:33. I watered them thoroughly with my aptus line. The lights are changed from 2 led t5's to my single 320w led bar for now. I ' let them veg for at least two weeks and we will see how it goes. Cheers!

Tag 15: 🌱: Anscheinend hat mir die kleine Dame das gestrige Topping nicht zu übel genommen. Ich würde sogar behaupten, sie hat mittlerweile den Schock überwunden und das Wachstum wieder aufgenommen. Außerdem hat sie sich selbst bereits so gedreht, dass der Platz im Topf / in der Box gut ausgenutzt werden kann. 💧: Da die Erde um die Pflanze herum noch etwas feucht ist, wird erst morgen wieder gegossen. 💡: Die Beleuchtung bleibt zunächst unverändert (ca. 45cm Abstand, DLI ~16) 🤔: Die hellen Stellen auf den Fächerblättern machen mir etwas Sorgen. Vielleicht ein Stickstoffmangel? Morgen gibt es vermutlich etwas mehr vom Bio Grow und dann wird die Sache weiter beobachtet. Tag 16: 🌱: Keine besonderen Auffälligkeiten. 💧: Heute war die Erde trocken, daher gab es 1 Liter Nährstofflösung. 💡: DLI wurde auf 18 erhöht. Tag 17: 🌱: Keine besonderen Auffälligkeiten. Die Triebe entwickeln sich gut, ich denke am Wochenende kann ich mit dem LST beginnen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung bleibt zunächst unverändert (ca. 45cm Abstand, DLI ~18) 🤔: Die hellen Stellen scheinen sich auch auf den neuen Fächerblättern auszubilden, trotz extra Dosis Bio Grow und AlgaMic...wird weiter aufmerksam beobachtet. Tag 18: 🌱: Heute wurde vorsichtig mit dem LST begonnen und die 2 oberen Haupttriebe wurden etwas nach unten gezwungen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. 💡: Die Beleuchtung wurde etwas hochgeregelt, auf einen DLI von ca. 20 (ca. 45cm Abstand). 🤔: So langsam machen mir die hellen Stellen immer mehr Sorgen. Die extra Dosis Bio Grow scheint daran nichts verändert zu haben und auch die kleine Dosis AlgAMic scheint nichts zu bewirken. Nach etwas weiterer Nachforschung denke ich, es könnte vielleicht auch ein Magnesiummangel sein. Laut Versorger hat das Leitungswasser: Calcium=89,6mg/l | Magnesium=6,2mg/l. Vermutlich fahre ich morgen mal in den Baumarkt und kaufe Bittersalz... Tag 19: 🌱: LST der 2 oberen Haupttriebe etwas angepasst. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. Trotzdem gab es für die kleine ein wenig Wasser aus der Spühflasche (ph-Wert 6,4) mit etwas Bittersalz (ca. 0,25g/l) 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 20: 🌱: LST der 2 oberen Haupttriebe etwas angepasst und mit dem LST der unteren Triebe begonnen. 💧: Erde ist noch nass. Zusätzlich gab es jedoch ein paar Sprühstöße mit dem Bittersalzwasser. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert. Tag 21: 🌱: Heute wurde mal wieder die Schere angesetzt. Zum Opfer fielen ihr die untersten, ersten Blattpaare am Stamm (1- bzw. 3-fingrig), 1-2 nach innen wachsende Blätter die die Triebe verschatteten, sowie die ersten Nebentriebe der unteren 2 Nebenarme. Zusätzlich wurde das LST nachjustiert. Ansonsten sehen die neueren Blätter aus, als würde sie gut auf das Bittersalz im Wasser reagieren. 💧: Erde ist noch feucht. 💡: Die Beleuchtung ist unverändert.

So this marks the beginning of week 4! At then end of week 3 I noticed a bit of over watering as well as possible nute burn (early early stages) so this week I'm decreasing the dosages on EVERYTHING and I'm going to let my baby's dry out ! This will be their final week in the 5" square pot as I'm going to move them into their new and final homes. I want to thank everyone who comes and stops by my diaries you guys are wonderful people and I've learned so much already ! So keep on keeping on and remember to check my diaries daily for updates !! Anyone checking out the pictures it isn't mites or any of that I been having a battle to get them to my standard of clean since the transplant. Slow and gentle is the way so no damages are done ! :) -Happy Growing !

~ DUTCH PASSION / SUPER SATIVA SEED CLUB FAST FLOWER 'TESTER' A and 'TESTER' B ~ Well cannafam, here we go again on another growing adventure together! This diary will be special to me for two reasons, one because I have the opportunity to cultivate some new and exciting strains from two of the TOP breeders in the industry! The second reason this will be special to me is that I will be growing these two strains in a brand new greenhouse that I put up! I'm super stoked to see how these two ladies turn out in this new setup. On to the strains: 'Tester' Strain A info: Hybrid (I/S) | 6-7 weeks flowering | Fruity, Sweet, Candy 'Tester' Strain B info: Indica-Dominant (90%) | 7 weeks flowering | Fruity, Peppery, Sweet I hope that you enjoy this run as much as I will... It's going to be fun and interesting for sure! ~GROW WHAT YOU LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU GROW!~ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: These beauties will be growing in a brand spanking new 10x14' greenhouse that I have equipped with automatic window openers, a complement of Hurricane fans and a de-humidifier/heater to help keep the environment as dialed in as possible. I started both tester in glasses of tap water, where they soaked for 24hrs. After soaking, they were placed directly into whole eggshells with just their tops removed to make a natural seed starting pot that I filled with a 70/30 blend of Coco/Perlite which was pre-moistened with well water ph'd to 6.2, then placed under a 50w full spectrum LED on a 24hr light schedule. Once, they both have their second set of leaves emerged, I plan on starting to put them in the greenhouse for 2-3 hour a day for a few days to help them acclimate and 'harden off' in the greenhouse. I'll be starting both off in 1qt pots, then transplanting them into to gradually larger pots until they're around 6 weeks old, then they will go into their final pots which are 25g fabric pots. I mix my initial medium using 3 tbsp/g of Gaia Green Organics 4-4-4 along with 1 tbsp/g of Gaia Green Organics Glacial Rock Dust for the trace minerals it provides, 1 tbsp/g of Down To Earth Kelp Meal, 1 tbsp/g of Trichoderma/Mycorrhizae, and 1 cup/g of Wiggle Worm Castings. I hand mix my amendments to ensure an even distribution throughout the medium. I'll be watering with well water ph'd to 6.2-6.8 and providing bi-weekly compost tea's throughout the run. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 6/1- Week Seven of vegetation for the two 'Testers' from Dutch Passion/SSSC and they are both taking off with vigorous growth! I have started to include TPS Plant Foods Trichoderma/Mycorrhizae/Beneficial Bacteria to my top dresses to give the plants some extra resilience to the heat that will be coming soon. I've had great success using this combination which really helps with heat stress and can also help to prevent other issues, such as disease and fungus attacks! 6/3- I have upped my waterings to daily, and am now giving the 'Testers' 2g of water a day, along with weekly Compost Teas. 6/5- I topped both plants side branches today, as well as removing some lower small shoots and lower shade leaves to help direct energy to the upper sections where it will needed most. 6/7- Well fam, there goes Week Seven of veg, the weather is getting hotter by the day and these two beautiful girl continue to explode with growth! Thank you for visiting my diary, I hope you will follow along and hope you enjoy what I do! Stay Blessed!😎💚

So at day 22 I got a small grow tent (36"x20"x63" because it's starting to get cold outside and plant was in a not so insulated shed. Hopefully my grow light will keep her warm enough for now. I will eventually have to invest in a small space heater with a thermostat. She's been though a lot of obstacles (temperature, humidity etc.) But I must say she's looking a lot better. I am open to any suggestions and thanks to the guys that gave me some info. I'm looking to get a cheap efficient fix for heating for my grow tent, if anyone have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks Day 23......so my little grow tent is is doing it's job. Temperature is staying at about 78 to 82° so I'm a little happy. Still running grow light constantly until I figure out a way to heat efficiently. I do notice some water inside my tent but I do have a an inlet fan coming soon but I might just use it as an exaust. Day 24 bigger and prettier. She growing, I guess I'm doing something right😊. Day 25...... installed an exaust fan because I was getting sweat inside my tent because it's (my grow tent) is in a shed and with the heat inside the tent and the temp in the shed. Hopefully this helps my situation. I also got temperature sensor hooked up to a heated bulb so we'll see where this goes. But my plant is growing fine for now and I'm actually seeing some growth. Let me know what you guys think.

Nov 20, 2019 The plants are doing well. Gave them and the soil in the entire 5 gallon pots a good drenching with a compost tea, kelp, alfalfa, fish hydrysolate, and molasses blend. I'm also realizing I could be watering these girls a bit more. Being a newby I'm over cautious of over watering. But I'm finding the light airy soil mix I made combined with fabric pots.... the soil dries rather quickly. No signs of under watering, but I think I can water them more. This week I'll start watering a couple of cups daily and once a week give the whole pot a good drenching to keep the rest of the soil (where the plants haven't grown into yet) damp.✌️ Nov. 22, 2019 Well I think the girls are starting to give off a little scent. Opened the doors to the room and noticed a slight aroma of woodsy dank. Put my nose right up to the plant.... and yup, they starting to smell. Nov. 23, 2019 Noticed the front row was growing faster and taller than back row. At the start of this week I swapped the rows, moved 2 Zkittlez and 1 Californian Snow to the back row, 2 Californian Snow and 1 Zkittlez to the front row. Today I started LST'ing the taller plants, 2 Californian Snow and 1 Zkittkez. I hope the other 3 catch up soon. I want to keep these all close together. Nov. 24, 2019 I've decided to keep separate diaries here at growdiaries for each of these two strains. Reason is I can focus on journaling the growing characteristics, experiences both good and bad regarding each strain independently. Also after spending time here at growdiaries, I've realized this will make it easier for fellow growers growing or researching the same strains I am to sort through diaries regarding these specific strains when looking for information. I will still update this diary regularly but it will be general updates of the overall grow, environment changes, watering/ feeding schedule, and anything else this grow experiences good and bad without getting into great detail regarding each individual plant. I have provided the links to the strain specific diaries below. Please look them up and follow along. Since this is my first growing evidence ever you never know what kinda crazy shit you'll see.✌️ https://growdiaries.com/diaries/44659-fastbuds-zkittlez-auto-grow-journal-by-weedwacker https://growdiaries.com/diaries/44676-fastbuds-californian-snow-grow-journal-by-weedwacker Nov. 25, 2019 Sitting here waiting for my windows 10 top update...I thought it'd update this diary. Started to LST the 3 tallest plants... earlier I posted the front row was growing faster than the back row. That was Saturday Nov. 23. I LST'd the other 3 the next day. I'll have more details in the individual diaries... links posted above. Started watering today 6 cups/ pot. This seems about right as I'm getting very little run off and the bottoms of all the fabric pots are wet. I found this Hydrofarm soil moisture/ph meter in a box that was with all this equipment I acquired. The electrodes were corroded, after a little sandpaper on them I think it's working pretty well. That's it for this week. ✌️👌

If you have been following my diary, you may know I appear to have an auto that started flowing during an 18 hour light schedule. Although the package came as a cookies gelato feminized seed (not an auto) but all indication sure appears to be an auto. Just an added bonus for a quick harvest, no complaints and love the looks of the genetics on the cookies gelato.

Week 4 was actually pretty smooth. she was showing nitrogen and potassium deficiencies because she was being terribly underfed and because i had weened her off the veg nutes WAY too soon. I found the dyna gro nutrient schedule and ive been following that. i will definitely be following the schedule much better next round as i wasnt actually aware they had a schedule out. Shes currently week 5 day 1 and shes already fat af and super trichomey.s he still got at least 2 weeks left. she might be ready by week 7 honestly tho who knows guess well see. Ive been giving her 1 gal each time of dechlorinated tap water just straight water. it has been phd to 6.6 ph. runoff tested at 6.3 ph. will probably flush one last time before continuing the bloom feed.
