8 weeks / 56 days today. Growth has slowed down a lot this week luckily. Smell is getting really hard to contain now. Sticky orange buds still nowhere near as big as purple skunk but definitely a bit fatter than last week. Purple skunk buds are getting a lot fatter. Both are really sticky to the touch, looking a bit frosty close up and can see plenty of trichomes. Little bit of leaf burn but not a lot I can do because of the space issue so just tucking the branches and leaves as best I can and moving the lights around a bit to minimise it. Watering between 1 and 1.5 litres every other day and they are soaking it all up. Increased to 3ml per litre of nutrients too. Humidity has been a lot easier to keep under control this week and hasnโ€™t risen above 60 all week so I am happy with that. itโ€™s been a worry for a few weeks. I had a real panic this week when I thought I saw seed sacks forming at the base of each branch. But after hours and hours of reading, I am pretty sure theyโ€™re calyxes. No intentional defoliation this week but Iโ€™ve accidentally snapped a couple of fan leaves whilst watering. I really need a bigger tent! Would love opinions on when you all think they might be ready for the chop. Comparing to other diaries I still think Iโ€™ve probably got another 6+ weeks but Iโ€™m daring to think about how/where Iโ€™m going to dry them out. Iโ€™m pretty sure purple skunk will be ready first so drying in the tent will be a no go.

Girls are fattening up! The one is doing great, good frost development and size. While the other is showing signs of lockout or deficiencies, but is still growing strong. They are probably getting their last dose of nutrients next week, they are a 10-11 week strain and thatโ€™s fast approaching ๐Ÿคค RH was lowered to between 50-53% and temps have been steady around 77-79. They are coasting now, just gotta fill up the humidifier daily and watch them finish. Happy Gardening ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

This plant sure is a dream to behold!! Sheโ€™s starting to smell super sweet. The frost is starting to pop and the colours in the buds keep coming. I did have a top off one cola go bad due to bud rot. Itโ€™s been super humid as of late. Onward!! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฑ

Welcome to week 7 growmies! Sheโ€™s doing great in her second week of flowering! She is still stretching and got a bigger defoliation at the end of week 6. For the start sheโ€™s getting only ph regulated water from top and some nutrients from bottom. There a little signs on the leaf tip why I skip nutrients for one watering cycle. On mid of week 7 sheโ€™s still stretching and first orange pistils shown up. On weekend sheโ€™s getting another defloration and another round of nutrients. We are finishing week 7 shortly! She was defoliated once again to ensure more light density in lower conopy. Sheโ€™s doing still great and sheโ€™s not showing any signs of stress or leak of nutrients. It seems that sheโ€™s also stopped stretching. Looking forward to the next weeks!

Fast Buds CA (still don't have a clue what CA stands for). Looking better. I gave her an overdose of Recharge and I think it helped bring some green back to the leaves. I'll probably OD her again. Nice little bud sites developing! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Yeesh, what a ball drop Circuit Breaker kept tripping. Using 3 450w, co2, exhaust fan, 3 fans. I unplugged the Co2 after 3 days of troubleshooting. Vpd got totally screwed, plants didnt get watered and messed up the steer. Irrigation system clogged(probably from stagnating) Reservoir has buildup of organic material. Think it was caused from Kelp, and microbes being added to the tank A bubbler didnโ€™t help, covering it didnโ€™t help. I did not try โ€œhydrogaurdโ€ I will stop adding organic nutes. I am now watering by dubbing a bucket into the tank and gand waterin Also, no more than 1000w of lighting in a room. I prefer to use a full quality setup with less plants. No Co2 is ridiculous. Each test ive done has shown that co2 gets me heavier yields.

Going slow i believe because I chocked the seed with peat moss. I needed to put vermiculite, rookie mistake. Iโ€™ll do better next round though!

The flowering is really starting to weigh on the branches so I supported them with bamboo sticks and everything is looking pretty good. Ill be posing more photos at the end of the week.

Altough the "anonymous" seedling was still a bit behind, I decided to move the plants into the AutoPots. The pots were still disconnected from the tank and the plants were handwatered for the time being. 3 days later it was clear that "anonymous" had died. I was getting a bit frustrated since the fourth pot was now empty and the other 3 plants were growing happily. I started another germination attempt.

Day 57. Very frosty beautiful buds going. About to do some minor defoliation. Day 60. Fed with megacrop. Giving it megacrop every other watering, 10-15% runoff.

Went away for a week and missed ideal harvest. Unfortunately, the harvest seems to have been fried to a crisp. Last time I share the responsibility. :(

2 Girls 1 Cup week 9? Short term memory loss is a m'fer... *edit* i have talked directly to quite a few suppliers/vendors/etc... and i can tell you FastBuds is a great company to do business with. im not licking boots here... i paid for my beans, and am loving these FastBuds genetics so far. JUST LOOK AT IT! a little short, but i think thats my fault from around the day 21ish mark if ya look back in the diary. i told myself i wasnt going to run any more autos, unless it was some odd occasion. but IF i do in the future... it WILL be FastBuds. unless this pink runtz i have ends up being an auto, and if it is.. im going to off the fucker lol. Day 56- GC is trying to catch up. I think stabbing the main helped a lil lol. Few random plucks on WG tonight, and don't even want to start on GC for now. May clean it up a bit later depending on how the back feels. It's got a ton of branches that are going to be too close REAL soon. Kinda f'd GC off over a week ago, and said I'd run it again in the future to make up for it. So not too pressed on how it looks, as long as it stays alive until WG chopping day. Atleast it wasn't a male ๐Ÿคฃ. Anyway, bumped the girls up to the "aggressive" mid bloom GHE feed. Using TAP water to reduce the amount of calmag needed since mine has N in it.. Breakdown as follows: 5gal TAP water - 137ppm 15mL calmag - up to 252ppm 10mL hydroguard Micro- 33mL Grow- 33mL Bloom- 47.5mL RES total after PH correction - 818 @ 5.91. ============================================================================================= Day 57- I REALLY need to cut back GC... like yesterday... backs been hurting something fierce, and I'm out of my medicine of choice ATM. few random plucks on WG today. may make my way in there again later and start hacking away at GC. will update pic if I do. They're both liking aggressive feed, maybe a touch too heavy on the N though. *edit* ๐ŸŽถoops, i, stabbed it again...๐ŸŽถ lol. still feel there's a branch that's gotta go. Started pulling WG out some to help expose lowers. Need more garden wire for sure ============================================================================================= Day 58- cut back GC even more.. we'll keep it alive, but I'll make sure it doesn't block the beloved WG. remember, there will be a list of things I learned I did WRONG in this experiment and will share at the conclusion. Trimmed up WG little bit later in their morning. Top view pic is after the small defol. Some fans only had the middle finger snipped, to be on the safe side. Progress seems slow on WG atm, but it's getting ready to fatten up and mature. ============================================================================================= Day 59- i just cut back GC AGAIN!!! like HALF of its branches, and cut all the tops to the same length before snapping todays pic. after comparing 58 to 59's pic... it STILL looks like it grew.. WTF... that things confused ASF or something... just dont herm on me... WG finish is right around the corner.. a few weeks... hang in there GC... hang in there... ive been topping off with 80% strength nutes and RO water, and the EC has remained pretty consistent. may bump em up one more time for WG next week to help fatten her up some. right before we dial it all back for the end. WG already looking pretty frosty, and the weatherman is predicting some more in the next weeks. *edit* added a night vid to show my WG defol struggles. Its easier to see why the foliage looks so thick and it needs a trim when lights on when you see lights off.. We're down to a few fans towards the bottom to help out down there. Rest are connected to bud sites, and are limited. May need to add a small fan blowing up WG skirt soon. ============================================================================================= Day 61- nothing really to report. tried to kill the ice probe, and put frozen 1L bottle (in 12hr rotations) to see how it performed. i think 61.2 is a little too cold for my liking, and one morning i woke the temp was over 71.. the roots are messing with the flow and the water isnt getting chilled as much with the probe. problem ive been facing for the last week or so. ice probe back in, and warming up the tent with its exhaust again.. should fab up a duct system for a 3d printer... ideas... tinkercad here we go.. ============================================================================================= Day 62- kinda feel bad for leaving GC out of the shot yesterday. Since she's riding along in this experiment... added her back today. WG is starting to phase 2. Her finish is coming within the next 2-3 weeks I'm guessing. Maybe 4? We'll see what tricomes say when the time gets closer. ============================================================================================= Been offered a cut off a custom strain that looks and tastes AMAZING! i know i may have mentioned pink runtz or amnesia lemon next... but i dont think i can pass up this opportunity.. will mention more about it, its name, etc etc when the time gets nearer.. As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow experiment. Link to YT vid of the day 27 on timelapse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJO-eTeyyEU

Perfect strain to grow, easy, fast and sweet as sugar totally covered in trichomes. The plants showed a very equaled and stable genetics and are very generous with a little care, this strain is almost like walking directly into a dutch candy shop with all kind of winegum smells, simply perfect.

Awesome Week๐Ÿ’š Following some great discussions with more experienced growers, I really think we got things back on track! ๐Ÿ™ To those Growmies I really raised the ppm this week we topped out around 630 PPM This was in an attempt to balance out some nutrition issues. I think the ladies have responded very well. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช Raised the light up to 24in as well a few days later after seeing positive changes due to feeding regiment. Started preflowering, showing pistols on all plants. Counting down these last 7-8 weeks when the ladies beauty comes out ๐Ÿคฉ Will update throughout the week with photos and videos. Happy Growing! ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค™

Third plant that started as worst seed and was in slightly worse soil setup and pot actualy seems to be on the way to become the most yielding one. Thanks to its bigger pot (16 l instead of 12 l) and one more week of veg it grew the largest. This week i got back home from my summer trip and applied some low stress training to get more sun to the bottom leaves. By the 7 weeks I was gone the plants were fed just water and still look amazing to me. Hight of the tallest plant is 65, and the other two are 55 and 50.
