🌱 Start: 17.07. 🌱 Hello everyone! This is my very first grow and I'm thrilled to share every step with you! 🎉 I'd appreciate any tips you might have to help me achieve the best results! 😊 Equipment: I've geared up with an Indoor Grow Kit from MarsHydro along with some BioBizz supplements to ensure my plants get the best care. 🌿 🌼 Seeds: I opted for Fast Buds seeds after hearing great things about them. They were delivered super fast—just two days! I’m particularly excited to test the Grapefruit strain. 🚀 I've begun soaking the seeds and setting up my space. Eagerly awaiting the transition to the next stage in a day or two! 🌱 📅 Update: 19.07. My Grapefruit seeds sprouted 1-2 cm within just 1.5 days! 🌱 It’s often recommended that autoflowers be planted directly into their final home, so I'm following that advice. I'm working on improving the air circulation in my tent to ensure the best environment for growth. 🌬️ I'm currently using 0.2L cups with big holes over the sprouts to maintain higher humidity during their initial two weeks. 💧 🎉 UPDATE 22.07. - THEY ARE ALIVE 🎉 My Grapefruit sprouted on 20.07., and I'm overjoyed to soon share photos and a video of my little green buddy! 📸🎥 PS: My plant enjoys 2 hours of chill jazz music every day! HAHA 🎷🎶

Still just trying to be patient, waiting for harvest time, hopefully I don't go past the harvest window that I'm looking for. Wanting Milky tricomes.

Week 4: Pre-Flower - The Hunger Games Begin! 🌱➡️🌸 Currently bumping: Larry June - Organic Tokens 🎵 All three ladies have officially hit pre-flower! The transition is happening, and these girls are making it crystal clear—they're HUNGRY. Time to step up the organic feeding game. All Three Ladies - Pre-Flower Mode Activated Apple Fritter, Lemon Cherry (Right), and Lemon Cherry (Left) are all showing those telltale pre-flower signs—pistils popping, internodal stretch beginning, and most importantly, an increased appetite that plain water just isn't satisfying anymore. Last Week's Feeding: Roots Organic Veg Tea Ratio: 1 tbsp per gallon mixture Applied as a soil drench to boost available nutrients The Reality Check: It helped, but it's not enough. They're telling me loud and clear that they need MORE as they prepare for the energy-intensive flowering phase. The Organic Solution - Double Trouble Top Dress Time to bring in the big guns! Preparing for flower means giving these girls a nutrient-rich foundation they can pull from over the coming weeks. Upcoming Top Dress Mix: Half-strength Roots Organic Terp Tea (bloom-focused formula) Gaia Green All Purpose (balanced NPK for transition support) This combo gives them: Immediate microbial activity from the Terp Tea Slow-release nutrition from Gaia Green Support for both the vegetative finish AND early flower development Enhanced terpene production (that's what we're here for!) Application plan: Light top dress on the soil surface, then water in gently. The microbes will get to work breaking everything down, making nutrients available exactly when the plants need them. Why This Approach Works Pre-flower is the PERFECT time to top dress: Plants are entering their hungriest phase Organic amendments take time to break down—starting now means nutrients are available when flower really kicks in The transition from veg to bloom nutrients happens naturally as different microbes activate Less risk of overfeeding compared to liquid synthetic nutes Key Observations These girls went from "we're good" to "FEED US" seemingly overnight. That's pre-flower for you—the metabolic shift is real. The stretch is beginning, which means they're pulling hard on nitrogen, phosphorus, AND potassium. The Gaia All Purpose will cover the NPK bases while Terp Tea brings the micronutrients and beneficial biology. Larry June voice: "Organic garden, hand-crafted nutrients, you feel me?" 🎶 Next Week's Plan Apply the Roots Terp Tea + Gaia Green top dress Water thoroughly to activate the amendments Monitor how quickly they respond to the feeding Watch the stretch—may need to start LST or support stakes soon Keep the music bumping and the vibes organic ✌️ Pre-flower is when the magic really starts happening. Let's give these ladies everything they need to absolutely THRIVE! 🔥🌿 Good soil + hungry plants + organic amendments = the recipe for terpy, flavorful flowers. Let's get it! 🎵

Decided to flip to flower this week. Ramped up to 1.1 ec before flipping. Probably a tad too slow since they look hungry. Will slowly increase. Did some more LST to widen them up a more during the stretch. .

Day 21 Flower Defolation

Day 43 (Second Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re well into day 43 of our second grow and deep into the flowering phase. 🌸 The transition has been amazing to witness, with our plants showing significant bud development. The plants are producing beautiful, dense buds, and it’s incredible to see the daily changes and the rapid development. We’ve been maintaining the humidity between 50-60%, but we’re keeping a close eye on it to prevent any issues. We’re considering whether to get a dehumidifier to bring it down to the ideal 40-50%. The SCROG net continues to work wonders, ensuring even light distribution and supporting the heavy buds. Our Timor shield mantis is still patrolling the garden, keeping pests at bay naturally. She’s become quite the guardian! The plants are looking healthy and vibrant. We're excited to see how they continue to develop over the coming weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this stage? Let us know in the comments!

Love the growth thus far

Easy strain to grow, tolerant a high ppm. Very good smoke. Buds are not very dense.

Plant decided it wanted to switch to flower so I guess week 4 is officially flower for her. there’s a smell beginning to linger as well hard to describe but very delightful.

They need thick legs !

The plant has become a real monster. I expected it to be stretched for another 4 to 5 days. But it has stopped growing and is now producing flowers. I used the vegitative fertilizer again for the nutrient solution. In a few days she will receive a nutrient solution for the flowers and then I'm very excited. The treatment with BAC was very successful

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

so here we are right at the end, smelling of beautiful fruits and some gassy fuel and cherry and orange aromas making it feel christmassy already, fading beautifully as i lowered the temperature and started to feed with only water! so in a few days ill chop this girls maybe weekend maybe after! whenever it suits because she is about 85% ripe! a little behind her clone sisters but nether the less shes nearly ready!
