2.24.2024: Start of week 5 from seed. Started to flower last week. Nothing done today. Still no nutes given, still scared to defoliate. Plant is 15.5 inches tall and looks healthy. Light is 11 inches from the top and at 75% power, 112 watts. I'm clearly no expert and i'm sure there's something i should be doing(feeding) but she's chugging along.
2.25.2024: Day 37 from seed. Watered 64oz at 6.3ph. Bud development is slower then her tent mate. Perhaps thats due to her bushy stature and foliage. Still seeing solid upward growth each day. Hopefully she turns on the jets this week. Still no auxillary nutes given. Finally worked up the nerve to take off 8 fan leaves. Really opened the plant up. Hopefully i don't pay the price!
2.26.2024: Day 38. Small bit of upward growth. No negative affects from the defoliation yesterday. Will feed tomorrow for the first time at 1/4 strength nutes from the fox farm trio and maybe some calmag.
2.27.2024: Day 39 from seed. Finally fed the plant, albeit small amounts. Foxfam trio at 1/4 strength of the week 5 doses plus calmag. 64oz of the solution at 6.5ph.
2.28.2024: Day 40 from seed, 36 from sprout. Nothing doing today. Maybe a 1/4 inch of upward growth? Stuck around 19.5 inches in total height. Light at 75% power 11inches from the top.
2.29.2024: Day 41. 96oz of ph 6.5ph. Upward growth has stalled at 19.75 inches. Added a few handfuls of Ocean Forrest as i noticed the soil level has compacted a bit. Will add pics later today once she perks up a bit.
3.1.2024: End of week 6, day 42 from seed. Small bit of upward growth, now up to 21 inches. Besides some lite defoliation, i've let the plant do its thing. Since its my first time i figured the only goal is just to get to harvest. Lots of learnings thus far. FFOF probably isn't ideal but its working. Some burnt leaf tips, probably some nitrogen toxicity, but otherwise we're doing well. Will definately look to LST more and sooner next time around.

Week 7 for gelato 41,
She's been topped a few more times now as you can see she's really pushing her size, I'm still stretching her out size ways.
Nothing too crazy to report from here besides I've been giving her an extra 4/5h in sun light to start to harden her off a bit before moving her outside to her final pot (which may be end of this month but we'll see)

Hello everyone, people!
This is the largest Autoflowering plant that I have ever grown!)) The photo still does not convey the entire volume and its size .. it is just gigantic! fills a 1 square meter grow tent .. flowering started well! and develops without any problems .. received the first doses today Nirvana and Big Bud from advanced nutrients!!

*Day 43 Plant #1: has been suffering real bad with phosphorus deficiency I’ve upped her feed 10 fold gave her 2 litres of bloom feed with 10ml of Bio bloom and 7ml top max total. The plant has been so stressed from this it developed tri bladed leaves. I hope she responds to this feed as I initially thought this was due to lockout. My Soil ph run off is near perfect at 6.3 but can’t test my EC. PPM pen on routé 🤞
* day 44 I think there responding well To The bloom feed. All this time I spent trying to rid of excess nutrients I was just starving them. I believe dark green leaves with red steams is the start of phosphorus deficiency not nitrogen toxicity. Big mistake!! Phosphorus spreads fast when flushing under that presumption. Word of warning guys‼️
*Day 45. Boyy...! These colas!! Plant number #1 if she starts stacking her buds like her sisters I’m gonna be a happy man. Baseball bat colas off an auto in only. Very impressed🤩. Smell coming of these girls now is prolific and filling my grow room. I have tried similar terpene backgrounds before. I can sense the cookies, and gelato, the mixture is outstanding.

Everything is the same, since moving everything to one tent, the NL auto started flowering a bit more. The Vanilla Frosting started stretching, and the White Widow is finally pre-flowering a little.
The VF gets dry every day, and weather has been wild again but I have managed to keep everything healthy. The addition of OG Biowar has really seemed to put the critters out of work (https://ogbiowar.com/). Granted I have also used Boogie Brew Black, and it takes me friggin 20-30 mins to get everything mixed and ready, but the plants are not complaining. I make a compost tea in a five gallon bucket and bubble for about 24 hours with a serious air pump and huge air stones, then I add all my nutes to it. I would say this is a 95% organic grow.
Check out the video and check out the meds I made from the leaves of these plants. Packed a mason jar with clean leaves and poured in regular isopropyl alcohol - a few days later and its so green you cant see through it. I learned about this from a friend from South of the border. It seems to work well on muscle aches. -shrug- at least for me.
FIVE MORE WEEKS
For those who wonder how much light/heat I am putting down, its like 1807.8 umol/s at dead center over the Cree light, the Spider Farmer puts down way less, but the two lights together are working well and fuck it, its 82 degrees in the tent during the day and they are all pretty happy. So it is what it is. If it gets super hot I keep the CREE part of the Phlizon on, and turn of the LEDs, the SF1000 has plenty of light to help.

All three girls are officially in bloom! 🌼
#2, our surprise LST candidate (thanks, fan 😅), has now also entered flowering, and is looking strong!
#1 has shot up and is clearly the tallest in the tent, stretching like there’s no tomorrow.
Meanwhile, #3 decided to skip the gym and focus on curves, she’s staying short but growing wide, even without any training 💪
Overall, everything is going smooth, healthy. Let’s see what these girls bring in the next few weeks!🌱

Ehi ragazzi come va? Tutto bene spero, la ragazza sta esplodendo di vigore!! Nonostante il poco spazio si sta facendo spazio tra le F1 e sta creando le sue cime come fosse la regina della grow! FastBuds mi stupisce ogni volta! Le loro genetiche sono spettacolari, ma il merito è anche della creazione del terriccio ideale della bio tabs che la sta facendo crescere come un baobab ahahah ! Si vedono le prime cime e le foglie si sono sviluppate davvero grandi e piene di vigore si vede che la ragazza sta bene e vuole dare il meglio di sé nella sua breve vita , spero esca una ganja davvero speciale da questa Tropicana cookies ,un sacco di cime resinose e piene di thc! Ringrazio Mars hydro perché il merito della crescita spettacolare di queste ragazze e della sua luce ,che a me sembra perfetta per intensità e distribuzione.. grazie a tutti voi che mi seguite ! Per questa settimana penso sia tutto alla prossima! buon 420 a tutti! 🐱😼💪🧙♂️🌱🌿🌲💗

10 days of darkness during the flush begins. Had great results with Wanda and her genetics. Blessed for a first grow. Cut Wanda down at the end of the week. She’s now drying. I will be giving a thorough review for my harvest diary. Excited to share what I’ve experienced and learned from this grow.

Dropped hours to 17 to get closer to the 15 we will have outside in a few weeks.
A week of battles for this tent. Lotta pest activity. Bulb mites and Nematodes (never going to have regular perennial flowers and dahlia bulbs in the tent again), lessons learned.
Active pest strategies tried:
- listerine / water soak
- Neem oil / water soak
- Dr. Bronner soap / water soak
- worm castings to boost balanced microbial life
- insect Frass to provide chitin
- diatomaceous earth top dress
- mosquito Dunks prior to organic amendments to deal with any eggs/larvae in soil

Just started week 19 from seed. 67 days of flowering and the trichomes are starting to indicate ripeness. Took a good look and I'm seeing about 2%amber on the buds. The rest are cloudy with the exception of a few clear where new random pistils have formed. Going to give probably about 36 hours darkness. Not really sure it does anything but why not at this point. See you all at harvest time.
After roughly 36 hours darkness she got the chop on day 69 of flower. She is trimmed and hanging to dry in the tent at 55% rh. This plant produced small buds for me but they are super frosty. I will post harvest result in a couple of weeks.

Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023
Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track..
Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023
walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!!
Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023
Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy.
Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023
Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1.
Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Vamos familia, limpieza de raíces Ia recta final, me encanto el comportamiento de esta genética, sweetseeds hizo un gran trabajo.
No veáis cómo apestan , huelen bastante fuerte y todavía les queda.
Sativa que crece mucho , forma indica aunque no os engañe que de verdad que crece.
Ph controlado temperatura algo alta en 28,5 intentaré bajar esta semana aunque sea en 27,5. Lo demás todo correcto.
La semana que viene nos vemos sin fallo 🙅♂️

Maybe this seed was just a less desirable phenotype, i would try again but definitely not as a mother.
I wonder if pulling all those clones stressed them out from the start. Maybe I'll do a redo in the future.
All in all some beautiful colors.

Flowering Week 6 – Fading Leaves, Persistent Flies
The sixth week of flowering brought a mix of progress and persistent problems.
The whitefly issue unfortunately hasn’t gone away. I replaced both yellow sticky traps at the end of the week, and within minutes, two new whiteflies were already spotted on the fresh left trap. The old one had four additional flies on the back. This pest pressure remains a concern, but I’ve decided to hold off on further neem oil sprays for now, given how far along we are in flowering. I’ll keep monitoring closely.
Nutrient-wise, I stayed cautious this week due to ongoing signs of overfeeding. Leaf tips are still showing yellowing and some burn, especially on the lower leaves. Many leaves have pronounced yellow spots and curled tips — a clear sign of excess nutrients earlier on. To reduce stress, I watered with plain pH-adjusted water (5.5–6.0). Total watering volume was approximately 29 liters
This week I also did a second round of lollipopping, focusing on removing all small popcorn buds and lower growth under the net that wouldn’t develop well.
Despite the nutrient stress and the ongoing whitefly presence, the plants are still developing well. Buds are getting chunkier, trichome production is visibly increasing, and the overall structure is solid. Still, I’ll be keeping a close eye on both leaf health and pest activity in the coming days.
⸻
TL;DR – Week 6:
• New whiteflies still showing up – 7 total seen this week. Both sticky traps replaced.
• Additional lollipopping done: removed popcorn buds and shaded growth under SCROG.
• Leaf symptoms (tip burn, spotting) persist – watered with plain pH water, once with half HESI dose.
• Watered 3x this week: 9.5 L (pH only)
• Light stayed at intensity level 7
