420 Fastbuds Week 2 Veg FBT2307 The three of these are starting off great. The few rust spots stopped and stayed on the couple leafs it showed up on. I feed 500ml of solution every other day. I did start the General Hydroponics 3 part Flora series as well as the Calimagic. On week one I started 1/4tsp per gal ratio every other feed, so far no burn so will probably bump it up this coming week and see how they respond. All in all Happy Growing.

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Day 73. Girls are going great and mini shock is past , both look happier everyday, leaves stretch up and I am happy how it all went. They can breath a lot better now, but still will do light defoliation session at begining of next week. No feed for two weeks, transplantation should give them good boost, I put a lot of Worm Casting as extras ... Happy Growing !!!

The end of week 1 has arrived. We all know how it goes. Just playing the waiting game. At this stage these girls are just working on building their root system. The roots should be hitting the reservoir in the bottom of the buckets soon then they should take off. Got the water pumping and the lights beaming 24 hours a day. Running a low dose of maxigro. Keeping the ph around 6. Will probably be topping them around day 12. Would be amazing if I can get them ready to switch to flower at the end of week 3. But for now I'm just going to check on them 420 times a day hoping they don't die. Might be back next week if they are alive. Happy growing!

Day 79 - Another week passes, not much to post, normal feeding, 1000 ppm 6.2 PH, normal lights, the girls are fattening up nicely...... 😎 Day 84 - some pics/vids.... pics of a Test Bud (ready for curing)......doing some experimentation..... read up about drying and curing, but i don't have a set method, so test abit..... never grown bud before..... 👍 my tent is really small, i think 50x120x160 or something... and it's tight in there, i have no other source of herb, so i'm going to start getting into the smaller one, and focus the light on the larger one..... i've been trimming and drying all during the grow.... there's really only enough room for the big one, and it's really squishy in the tent........ 😎

Light defoliation and using LST clips to produce a few more clone sites before flipping these girls into flower. They are both ready, with the hella jelly showing calyxes and the jelly donutz showing sex. The Donutz Triploid has so much stretch and too much internodal spacing to do much more cloning. Hoping to clone one more off her before the flip. Added pics of the triploid!

-Sensi Seeds Research: The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #15, week #7 of Flowering. Fade is coming out, plants are near to the end of their life cycle. This where new growers start to panic, thinking their ladies are having deficiencies... but no panic ! It’s organic ! Everything is normal 😉 -ScrOG II: #741 , #1318 , Shiva Skunk are ready and will be flushed at the beginning of next week ( tomorrow ). -ScrOG I: #11, Northern Lights, Black Domina, Super Skunk are good for 9 weeks of Flowering, perhaps more, and aren’t ready yet ! I have stopped the Alga-Max ( remember to always stop any P-K Boosters 2 weeks before harvest ) for the ScrOG II since last week and have given the last dose at the beginning of the week to ScrOG I. I must recognize that I’m really fan of the Mars-Hydro SP 250, I can’t wait to see how it works from seedlings to harvest 😎 I would like to finish this week by saying thanks to the brother or brothers who has increased the views on this week, I was wondering what was happening 😄 After discovering their was a contest on the most views of the week 😂😂😂 I knew something was not normal... hahaha so funny 🤣 A BIG THANKS 👍😄 ( I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞)

Seems like its soon time for this baby to chop chop, been a pleasure growing this, super ressiliant against pests, mold, heat/vold stress. Grown perfeclty all the way, have been showing alot of phosphorus defficiency in the end, some dying parts turning black on leafs, quite consearning since ive never had this problem before. Then again never had a colorful plant as this either before so. Beautiful buds, coverd in crystals its beautiful really, sticky and smells deleicious, cant quite put my fingers on the terpines yet but def alot of fruityness, bit sour. Looking forward for them to ripen up, and flush has begun. See you hopefully in harvest or else another week :) crystals not cloudy yet, just a hint

This week I started with some nutrients. Only 1/4 of the recommended dose. Tried some LST for the first time and she seems to be handling it well.

Weekly update on these ladies. 2 of the 5 are doing amazing, super bushy and healthy as all get out. The other 3 are good but 2 aren't as bushy and the 1 that's in the Cannpot isn't liking the heat at all. But over all they're all showing growth weekly and progressing nicely. Over all they're doing good in this 100'f heat not skipping a beat. Happy Growing.

Going good so far. I am shocked how little water I have had to feed them honestly. My preperation has paid off very well. 6/13/2024 Day 22 Temp: 82 F RH: 70% VPD: 1.17kPa I went ahead and chopped the middle plant. Mycelium is appearing below and that’s rad! I lowered the plant off the crate I had it on and went ahead and raised the light power to 10/10 because my PAR was good. All plants are showing pistils now. Bloom/Flower has begun. Light distance 18 inches now light power 10/10 50kLux 6/14/2024 Day 23 Temp: 87 RH: 65% VPD: 1.48kPa Plant #1 11 inches Plant #3 8 inches Light to plant 12 and 14 inches KLux at 10/10 65 & 45 Water good, mycelium growing all over. By the time I get back on Sunday the water should be gone, the plants will be huge and I’ll have to hurry to move the light lol. I don’t like how hot it’s staying but I’m afraid to turn it off because how cold it gets at night. 6/18/2024 Day 27 Temp: 75.6 F RH: 58% VPD: 1.25kPa Plant #1 height: 18 inches! Plant #3 height: 12.5 inches 6/19/2024 Day 28 Temp: 85 F RH: 77% VPD: 0.92kPa Plant #1 Height: 19” in Plant #2 Height: 14” in 6/20/2024 Day 29 Temp: 84 F RH: 64% VPD: 1.32kPa Plant #1 Height: 21 inches Plant #2 Height: 16 inches Light is 13” from plant 🌱 #1 Small was sweet today, that seemed new for sure but I think it’s the sugars in the Quillaja extract. I disconnected the humidifier and plugged in the heater into the UIS plug so that I can start controlling the heat at night.

I hung dried for three days and then bagged them up in brown paper bags for two days due to the low temps and humidity before jaring them.
