Some high-stress training was required. Fartbutt (the plant on the right) outgrew the container again, so I intentionally snapped the top to prevent further upward growth (I left it attached so it could still form a central cola.

Medium: Yep - still gonna beat on the DWC drum. It just gets better and easier every run. Almost religiously changed out the res. every week and this was definitely overkill. Couldโ€™ve easily gotten away with every 10 days to 2 weeks. Stuck with peroxide this run again instead of going with bennies via hydroguard or hygrozyme. The results speak for themselves on a 6 week veg. Thatโ€™s for sure. Still saveโ€™n them dolla bills on the nutes too. Minimal nute mixing (as well as simplistic regime) and for what weโ€™re using in each res. - gotta be easily a 50-60% savings on nute consumption vs. more traditional methods. Honestly makes one wonder why organic soil grows are seemingly all the rage. Iโ€™ve found terp. Profiles, structure, plant health and of course yields to all be just that much better in straight water. What more can I say, we love our DWC. Method ๐ŸŽš๏ธ๐ŸŽš๏ธ๐ŸŽš๏ธ The dueling methods were the whole point of this grow. Our best attempt to illustrate the differences between LST vs. LST/Topping ie. just how significant is the difference in terms of overall production? The truth of this test is a bit of a double edged sword. On the one hand, topping does have a significant effect on overall yield. This fact is regardless of whether or not from seed or clone.That said and when it comes to clones, you still have to be mindful of the drawbacks of further dividing (and thus reducing nug size for) main branches. Our topped clone #2 is a perfect example of this. While the structure demonstrates significantly more branching, the nug sizes are also significantly smaller. As youโ€™ll see in the yield details it does somewhat make up for this through a higher overall weight but it was also a much less manageable plant than #1. Root mass on the topped plant was heavier and bulkier, drinking much more water than its counterpart. And in late flower half the plant was pretty much falling over. While some of this is attributable to the extremely hollow stems (and thus a carbon deficiency), making the most of the grow light proved difficult with the topped plant as bushy as it was. Basic summary - if ur cloning for profit or efficiency, stick with straight LST and grow a whole bunch of em. If I had to do it again I donโ€™t think i wouldโ€™ve bothered with topping - just for the sake of greater ease๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”. Then again, Iโ€™m greedy as fuck when it comes to my yields so I Could totally see myself trying to max everything out and go for broke๐Ÿค™๐Ÿค™. 3/5 volume bars for the rating - we accomplished what we were trying to. Yield/Harvest๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด Awwwwwe yeah - down to where it counts and these girls were champs๐Ÿ’ช. While internodal spacing was longer than necessary and overall bud size was smaller than average; these plants pushed out some solid weight๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘. Ran er through a 7 day dry and all jarred up on a slow cure. Final numbers: Total yield - clone #1: 5.14oz = 143.92g Total yield - clone #2: 6.01oz = 168.28g Approx. est. yield: 600g/m2 divides by 4.8, multiplied by 2 (approx. for 2/3 the cabinets sq/ft) = 250g per 0.41m2 Actual yield: 11.15oz. per 0.41m2 = 312.2g per 0.41m2. That is some seriously good production right there๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž. The high end avg. for this strain is 650g/m2. When you crush that out to my space and the numbers above, it works to about 270g per 0.41m2. Our actual yield still destroys the high end avg. by almost a zip and a half๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. The cree cob does it again. Fuckโ€™n jazz hands yโ€™all๐Ÿ™Œ! With results like these you could really give the whole grow a 9/10. Itโ€™s only an 8 in my book because itโ€™s not my preferred high. Otherwise, any time youโ€™re north of 5+ oz. per plant, itโ€™s a good day at the office๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. Props๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š No choice but to shoutout Humboldt genetics. These beans have treated me so well and I canโ€™t say enough Good things about the strains this organization puts out๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ. Other than that, thanks to everyone who dropped by for a look and a comment. The convos always good and of course - any questions or enlightened conversation are welcome. Every time I try to take a break from documenting a grow, I end up growing something worth documenting. If your as high as I am right now, you should still be trying to figure out that last sentence.... stay lit yโ€™all. See ya soon on the next one๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š.

i came back home after 5 Days and it seems pretty Bad, the Humidity was extrem high and there was water drops all over the walls of the grow tent, the Soil was even less moist compared to the Humidity of the tent was the Soil Dry ! All my plants kept some Damage except of Applestrudel there was such a high Humidity that even Roots came out of the Stamb and grew in Air !!! after all she just had a few burnt leaf tips and thats it. After this Excident i finaly installed an Airfan and hope that this Problem wont continue. I continued with Lst and super cropped some branches, the plant is pretty even but there are tons of side branches, i am not sure if i should let them grow or should I cut them of like a Lollipopping ? Please let me know about your Opinion and Expiriences ! Is it Normal that she's still not really showing Flower pistols or other signs of Flower begin ? This Strain or at least Pheno is Amazing i can Pretty much do whatever i want to Her LST/Defoliation/Supercrop/Humidity-stress and she Always bounced back after a couple of Day like nothing Happend to Her, i am Pretty Happy with all my Fastbuds genetics !!!

This strain had to suffer a little bit at the end of the cycle due to a fungus gnats issue but she managed great, her buds are really citrussy and dense and she has grown at a very fast pace in her vegetative stage. I really hope you guys enjoyed, this lady has been grown with kush FLO (Living soil blend) and water.

2018-04-10 Day 1 I gave the girls water and nutrients yesterday so nothing to drink today. Turned them 90 degrees today, to give my girls as much lightexposure as possible. The flowers get bigger and bigger for each day, Overall the ladies look really good, the colors are very nice, they look healthy. Somehow the photos of nr1 got lost, very strange, but great pics of nr2. Also added videos of them both. Power Plant XL nr 1 is 67 cm Power Plant XL nr 2 is 68 cm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Strain information Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90โ€™s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live. Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/mยฒ in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant. The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed. Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesnโ€™t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambezaโ€™s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely beautiful flowrs, ashamed that I had to flip her to flexor after a long time in veg period, I wish I had made her achieved a bigger size considering she's in a 25l pot, very sweet haze, you can really feel the blueberries in her flowrs, very special haze, I'm excited to taste her buds, killer seed, I'm gonna grow my last 2 beans as well which you'll be able to see here in my page, hope yo grow her many more times! Stay tuned to see how this flowrs develop on this 4th week! ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ

420Fastbuds-FBA2505 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

D78. The second LED strip light arrived today, and I installed it to cover the right side of the tent. No clue if these sidelights will contribute much, but it's at least noticeably brighter in the lower canopy now. ------------------------------ D80. It looks like my campaign against the pesky thrips is successful. A few days ago, I could find both adults and larvae within seconds when scouting, but today it took me over five mins to find one single larva. Good riddance! ------------------------------ D83. Almost at the end of week six of flower, the girls are rocking it in the tent, getting fatter and smellier daily. I still haven't been able to find any thrips, so it looks like the lacewings were effective. The predatory mites that I also added are probably not necessary, but I wanna be sure all those pesky thrips are dead. There isn't anything to do in the tent now, and everything is running on autopilot, which is excellent as I'm going out of town tomorrow. I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.3, with humic acid and FFJ. That'll hold them over until I'm home again in a couple of days. ------------------------------

Week one of germinations going well unfortunately our strawberry banana we did have to re germinate and start over again but we have already re planted and is ready to go hopefully we she pops up because Iโ€™m definitely most excited about her. But the banana purple punch and the gorilla cookies are looking fantastic going into week one!

It's been a wierd week. Found evidence of herming but some of what appears to be balls have pistals? Anyways, have ensured all light leaks fixed, removed any suspect balls and pressing on. This is bagseed so maybe genetic. I've ordered some seeds for the next round to ensure solid genes going forward. Worst case this becomes bubble hash. :)

Still keeping an eye on the early yellowing. I think I've been letting my soil dry out too much between waterings so it wasn't efficiently absorbing the nutrients. I'm hoping the worm tea and more frequent watering schedule will remedy the problem. I feel like the buds aren't swelling as much as they should this far into the bloom but trichome production looks great! I'm hoping I can take them both to at least 65 days before chopping but we'll see. No amber yet except a few on sugar leaves. Thoughts/suggestions appreciated!!! Edit (12/14/17): Just gave the girls some molasses with the last watering (only .5 TBSP/Gallon) Check my Xmas Grow Special video!!!
