2024/01/20 : as it survived, shiva skunk got a decent pot (1 gallon smartpot 50% canna coco pro / 50% hydroton) and 3 others are going on LST... 3 days growth : afghani #1 - 19.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 17.5 cm (+4.5) hindu kush - 16.5 cm (+3.0) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+2.0) 2024/01/23 : shiva skunk looks bad, with leaves going down and yellowing... it didn't like its transplant. The others are looking OK. I may have seen first pistils... The heights are : afghani #1 - 22.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 18.5 cm (+1.0) hindu kush - 18.5 cm (+2.0) shiva skunk - 11.0 cm (-0.5) 2024/01/24 : spayed with Foliar Spray from B.A.C. last night, don't know if it was OK for shiva skunk, we'll see. 3 others are preflowering without a doubt now. afghani #1 - 24.0 cm (+2.0) sensi skunk - 20.0 cm (+1.5) hindu kush - 21.0 cm (+2.5) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+0.5) 2024/01/25 : shiva skunk is struggling but it's not done yet. And I think stretch began for others.

Welcome to my Fast Buds sponsored shootout and living organic soil v coco side by side. I also plan to use this grow to my full advantage regarding a few age old nagging questions about methods. I have had a keen interest in L.O.S ( supersoil) since reading a few threads a while back on how amazing and productive it can be. After too much research and procrastinating I had to give it a go. I have been a decades coco/nft grower and recently threw my hat in the rdwc ring too. I have avoided soil due to the overwatering worry ( heavy handed chimp brain !) and the best potting soil/feeds. Catching up on the advances in indoor soil gardening and organics led me too subcools supersoil recipes to name a few but being a town dweller with farms everywhere around me still drew blanks on a lot of the ingredients needed and where the hell I could even begin to get them from. Thankfully , commercial savvy has now made buying it in ready to use and with a full range of beneficial bacteria ect available in amendments from a grow shop here in the uk. ecothrive have realised the potential for us to dive into this medium with all the mixing , measuring and resourcing. I bit the bullet and £150 later I now have 4 x37Litre pots that will be used for as long as I want to feed the soil for without EVER needing nutrients again potentially. The coco has also had charge mixed in to encourage the bennies to colonize there too. I will be using the shogun nutes that I know do the business with coco to compare with for yield , growth and taste. I have 3 seeds each of 4 Fast Buds Strains to use as a control for the grow and am journaling each strain in their own diaries. This statement will be used to start each one as the information is identical at this point but following this I will do them individually. I am now starting their second week since opening the seed packets , straight into soaked and shook root riot cubes and into the heated propagator. They had all showed their heads by end of day 3 and a couple needed helmet surgery to open up without being hindered . I have has them in the prop for a few days but they needed to get settled as they were popping roots out all over the cubes. They have now been in their final pots for 2 days complete and starting their 3rd today at day 8 since planting in cubes. I am impressed with the speed and success of these girls already (12 of 13 germinated) . Well done fast buds. So here we go folks , any comments , ideas ,questions , advice are always welcome and I hope we can have some fun experimenting with defol v non defol , topping v fimming v bending and any other curiosities along the way. I plan on using a quadline for them all to keep a control for the comparisons too. Be green folks Welcome aboard and a huge thank you to Fast Buds for the opportunity to try autos.

Everything is going well it seems. She has really shown a ton of pistil growth in the past few days. I'm going to top dress with some buildaflower when it arrives this week, and then lay down some rice hulls. I've also got a time-lapse pointed at the Double Grape and will post it at the end of the week. Happy growing everyone. 11/15- End of week six, top dressed with BuildaSoil Craft Blend and BuildaFlower as well. Added rice hulls for cover crop. Also added the timelapse for the week.

Had a few hiccups. Plants ended up developing a nitrogen toxicity from too much worm casting. I simply did a flush on them with water PH’d to 6.3 and allowed the soil to dry out

The plant is very bushy and seem to be quite slow reaching flowering stage. Maybe next week will be the week for her. At the moment she is fine, happy and fed with booster and top dressing

Day 57 - Starting off week 9 and she’s looking gorgeous still. Decided that I’m going to give her straight pH’d water from here on out. Trichs are mostly milky and caught a couple amber today. Thinking another week or two and she should be ready to chop but will keep a close eye on everything. Has been such an easy grow so far, just didn’t end up as big as I expected but buds are really fat and frosty. Day 58 - Nothing new to really report. Going to continue giving her straight water and cal-mag. Didn’t notice much change from yesterday, thinking she might of stalled out a bit but hopefully these last two weeks she’ll really start packing on. Day 59 - Not noticing too much of a change the last couple of days, no new pistils showing and she’s starting to shrivel. There’s a few amber trichs in there but pretty much completely cloudy. Debating on a partial chop this weekend. Still flushing and giving her just water. Hopefully I can hold out chopping until the end of week 10 at least. Day 60 - She’s still looking good and REALLY frosty. Half the pictures I take almost look fake, she’s so frosty. Continuing just water to flush her out till the end. Decided I’m not gonna do a partial chop and just let her go till I think she’s done and hopefully more amber trichs. Day 61 - She’s still holding strong and still seems to be fattening a bit. Going by the trichomes, she should be ready for a harvest by the end of week 10, next weekend. Just going to continue watching her and if she needs more time, I’ll give her more time! Day 62 - No big changes, still looks like she’s on track for chopping next weekend. Will check her out again tomorrow and give her some more water. Can’t wait to start drying this girl, she’s smelling amazing. Day 63 - Last day of week 9 and she’s smelling really good. Still flushing her and think I might chop next Saturday. Will be 10 weeks total but we’ll see, continue watching the trichs.

This is a pretty casual diary — just tracking for my own purposes mostly. Been trying some new strategies to increase temperature and humidity in the tent. She’s just flipping over to flower now — I wasn’t sure weather I would top the plant... but I decided to this one time just in the edge of flower — didn’t want to do it earlier to avoid inducing flower

Man these seeds germinated to quick when I first planted them lol . The team over at this hemp company have been putting alot of work into their brand and seeds .. I was lucky enough to be able to try this @hokuseedsco "purple la berna " it's a hemp cbg/CBD cross measuring under 1%thc . I was interested in growing hemp and with the chance to start these I knew I was on the road to some killer buds. These plants were started indoors under my mars hydro ts-1000 and were grown in organic soil mix with organic nutes . Out of the seeds I planted I had a few males but a few females as well . After being Inside for a while I moved them all outdoors and transplant then into 7 gallon pails fabric and chill on them for a while . They loved outdoors and flourished I was battling hungry plants as I don't like to fed more then I have to or want to. In the end of it all I gave synthetic #future harvest nutes for a while and then I finished with the @dutchsciencenutrients "bloom" . My end result is a beauty pair of plants with one going down today and the other is this week end . The trained pheno was purple everywhere leaves stems and buds while the untrained pheno was tall over 6"feet and had bright orange Hairs with light green buds . I'm in love with this bud here and I'm eager for the next growing this spring.This stuff is the sweetest , danky smelling hemp I could have dreamed of. Crazy bag appeal and I can't wait to get the smoke report going as well .. my whole grow I also used @miicrobialmass every two or three weeks it's good at creating microbiology in the soil helping to release essential nutrients to their roots ..tasted good and gave over an ounce of buds they are sticky and light with very strong berry smells over powers THC cannabis near buy just wow ..calm smoke just kinda relaxes you away !

So, things are going great. The RO water change left me with a nice sterile clean res. The plants are loving the lighter feeding and it shows. The trolmaster has my light schedule dialled in with the sunrise and sunset setting Make sure you follow my YouTube and Instagram accounts linked on my profile page.

I made some kind of homemade provisional cage this weekend, following your advices. I used optic fiber, net, and bambu sticks, that i had in my home. I know is not the best in the world, but i was seeking utility and low cost. Ms Black Domina progresses well, but as my FIRST GROW i am doubting when she will finish,(I thought about not giving her nutrients last 2 weeks, but is hard for me to know when to stop giving more) I WILL APPRECIATE ALL ADVICE :) Nutrients same as last week, Sugar Royal 2ml/l 1 time per week and BioBloom 4ml/l 1 of 2 irrigations. As insecticide i use a mix made by me, 3 ciggaretes per litre and flush 1 time per week or so.

Soaptini another winner from lit farms. The plants leaves are turning a black color very pretty with deep purple stems. It’s loving up to its name with some buds that are so frosty they look white like soap and they smell of a gas soap smell. Also the nugs are kinda small with an odd bud structure and odd growth structure. I think it has a little to much breeding and crossing done to it without stableazing the genetics. I’m sure if grown several plants there would be a huge pheno variation good thing I got a pretty plant from the lottery. Great smell should be some gas.

Hey guys, Into week 8 and the ladies have bushed out considerably even after last week's defoliation! I will have to plan to defoiliate again this upcoming week! The plants are doing well, I have not watered these plants since Monday of this week and we had 2 large t-storms roll through the past 2 days. I will be holding off watering since they got allot of rain water. This comming week I will be planning to possibly top but mainly to start our 2nd round of amendments. Sticking to same formula of 2tsb per gal of 70/30 ratio 444 to 284. I also found the holy grail of prevent maint for fungus gnats. This stuff I found at my ls call aquabac mosquito larvacide. Works great on gnat larvae. All you need is to use 1-2 tbs in a tea bag and let it soak in water for 24-48hr before watering. Hopfully it will prevent any fg infestation. Have a good one guys and see you on the next update.
