Week 16 (Harvest)
1-2 Drying day 1
Temperature: 24.5 to 19.5 degrees
Humidity: 65% to 50%
The girls are ready to be harvested!
Before chopping them down, i took a lot of pictures.
I was able to remove most of the soil from the Biscotti #2 to see the rootball.
I hang the plants as a whole to have a slow dry.
The exhaust fan is on setting 4.
2-2 Drying day 2
Temperature: 19.1 to 17.5 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 57%
I changed the exhaust fan to setting 2 because setting 4 was a bit high in my opinion.
3-2 Drying day 3
Temperature: 19.9 to 18 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
Today i checked up on the drying plants, and i see there are some buds touching other buds, so i chopped the plants in half.
The buds are still to the main stem for a slow dry, but are hanging more spreaded out to prevent any budrot issues.
I changed the exhaust fan to setting 1, as someone told me that it was enough air movement for drying.
4-2 Drying day 4
Temperature: 19.8 to 18.5 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
5-2 Drying day 5
Temperature: 19.9 to 18.8 degrees
Humidity: 62% to 59%
Today i checked on the drying plants and the buds are shrinking a bit, they are getting a little bit crispy on the outside aswell,
I hope they wont dry as fast, and i aim for a 12/14 day dry.
For the next grow i already germinated 2x Chemdog (GreenHouseSeeds) 2x Gorilla Kush (GanjaFarmerSeeds) and 1x Deep Candy CBD (GreenHouseSeeds)
And I have some upgrades planned aswell!
I bought a autopot kit with 4 15L pots, this way the plants will have water and air 24/7 whenever they need it. I have seen alot of great results using autopots so i am very exited to try it out!
And I bought a small camera so i can shoot some weekly timelapses!
Feel free to Follow me if you like to get notified for the upcoming diaries!
Thanks for checking out this diary, peace!
(More harvest updates coming in the next couple of days!)
Huge thank you to Zamnesia for the seeds, and Plagron for the collection of nutrients, and the opportunity to participate in the POWERBUDS contest!
It was a fun and learningful adventure!

Rough week! Found two major hermie issues Pheno #5&2. Could be because they where the OGs and they just had a long stressful life. Really bummed because they where the biggest in the tent for sure. Have a coupoe tops with orange hairs so maybe got pollinated, all i can do is keep my eye on them!
Besides that everything is looking so great had to re-train and move canopy around but still have full coverage. Getting allot more tops

Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day!
I gave the Blue Cheese a trim on 5th december and gave her four days of darkness, the chop was performed on december 9th I took a lot of photographs and videos commemorating these events for you to enjoy :)
I think she came out quite decent especially considering that she had some monster/deformed leaves till the 4th week of veg. also looking back I should have moved her to the bigger place in that time...she would be far more symmetrical ;)
It was a joy to work with Mars Hydro and their equipment in this grow. A big thanks to the Mars Hydro team for this opportunity, you truly provide first class grow kits and lamps.
That's all i have for you till the drying & curing process is over I will update then. I want to thank you all for accompanying me in this journey, all the likes and comments...You growmies make me feel here at GD at home thank you 🙌👊😇

This week was amazing guys. I literally watched the buds getting fat day by day. I am still feeding with a similar program and adding Aptus Regulator once per week to boost silica and some other minerals like molybdenum and boron. I'm flowering my plants in a hot environment with CO2 boost. PPFD is high to support these settings and thankfully my the pots aren't getting hot. No fungus gnats or any other pests, no root rot and bad smell. Everything is perfectly neat and buds are exploding. My expectations from this harvest is really high and I'll keep adding CO2 for another week.
Some fellow growers asked for CO2 and PPFD measurements. I am sharing these information on this week's pictures. I got my CO2 meter fixed and I tested the CO2 PPM in different places of the canopy. Typical value for this grow tent with this CO2 setup is around 1100-1350. Temperature is fluctuating between 28-31 and the average PPFD on the bud sites is 1100 micro moles.
I'm sharing CO2 measurements right under the fan, where you expect it to show the lowest value. Then I'll also share the CO2 PPM value coming out from the air pipe, which is normally attached to the grill of the fan. Direct output is now around 5500PPM and in the first two days, the meter shows 10000PPM which is the max value that it can reads. This bucket yeast CO2 reactor lasts for four days and I'm refreshing the mixture twice a week. This is huge CO2 with a fairly low cost compared to propane burners or CO2 tubes.
Edit: I refreshed the CO2 bucket today and got you guys a video of the direct output. The system is outputting more than 10000PPM of CO2 and the meter can't measure it for the first two days. This CO2 method is a killer one for tent grows. Very low cost for very high CO2 concentrations.
Hope these information helps. Happy growing 💪

Ztrawberries= as you can see from the pic and video these girls are skyrocketing climbing almost an inch a day. Showing good signs of pre flower, very impressed with dominant heads coming through on all these ladies 👌🏽
Tropicana cookies = These girls are just showing off there stretch rate match that of the ztrawberries and it’s and impressive spectacle to watch also showing good signs of pre flower
Cherry Cola = These girls seem a week slower than the rest none of the less they are showing a decent amount of heads just no signs of any stretch.
O.N = Ztrawberries and Tropicana Cookies have had some defoliation not really touched Cherry Cola so I don’t cause any unnecessary stress. EC increased from 1.1 to 1.3. Very happy this week!!

The fourth week of growth has begun, and our FBA 2506 from 42Fast Buds is thriving. After the transplant into a 10-liter pot, the plant has adapted well and continues to develop strong and healthy. Despite being an autoflower, we're experimenting with a 12/12 light cycle, and so far, the results look promising.
The temperature remains stable, reaching up to 30°C during the day, with an average of 27°C–28°C. Humidity is maintained between 60% and 65%, providing optimal conditions for growth. The plant has grown noticeably, now standing between 20 and 25 cm, with well-developed foliage.
We've started applying low-stress training (LST) to shape its structure, encouraging better light penetration and maximizing potential yields. Additionally, we continue to feed our beauty with Xpert Nutrients, and the results are already visible—strong, vibrant growth and lush green leaves.
Everything is on track, and we’re excited to see how our experiment unfolds in the coming weeks!

Removed the net, and tied down some branches to the pot with some gardening wire.
This way i can easily move the pots in and out the tent to weigh them.
I also moved the oscilating fan from underneath the canopy to above the canopy.
This is because the leaves gets hotter as i increase the light's power output.
The Gorilla Kush #2 and the Chemdog #2 are showing some heat stress.
Before i watered them i weigh the pots.
Dry weight:
Chemdog #1: 4.2 kg
Chemdog #2: 5.0 kg
Added 10L to the reservoir.
Opened the reservoir for a couple of minutes.
3-5
Temperature: 26.2 degrees (lights on) 19.9 degrees (lights off)
Humidity: 61% (highest) 47% (lowest)
No pictures.

Water week but something crazy happened and I'm a little confused.
I brought fem seeds but it looks like they wanted to flower on they own.
If anyone could take a close look and tell me what you think. So I put them in the flower tent. So it's like it didn't have a full three weeks of veg..
Also what should I be feeding a seed to flower? Just bloom from this point on? Please help and thanks

Dropped my light as well as adjusted my fans and intakes all in the name of lowering the humidity. Some hairs are turning red which worries me but I will try to maintain the same environment as much as possible for the rest of the grow. Also I need to figure out my plugin timer which isn’t the moSt reliable. ✌️🏽

Day 42 Update : Well folks , we are getting towards a finish now. The FFT #8 is still a bud on a stick style so we won't visit that one at all !!.
FFT#9 Is now pushing some very nice trichromes out throughout her many mains. The bud structures are solid on her and she jas somewhere nice long colas stacks that are fattening up daily now. She is in her budswell stage now and has a beautiful fruity smell oozing from her. She is starting tonget some nice pinky colour appearing deep in the bud too which makes them look very nice
FFT#10 Looks like she is trying to escape with her main stem off tonthe side looking for the sp250. Her buds are also rock solid with a really candy sweet smell She is nice and dark again since I have been adding the megacrop and shogun products and her stack girth indicates she will be a nice yield come harvest.
Another 2 winner strains from this range nice work Fastbuds. Now we need to know who they are. lol

Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest.
Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman
