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… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

10.06.2023 RACCOLTO_RED HOT COOKIES Sweet Seeds 🌱 142 giorni dal seme 🌼 70 giorni fioritura ⚖️ 2895 grammi non secchi totale di 4 piante Tutto è andato per il meglio in questa corsa. Le 4 piante di Red hot cookies si sono dimostrate veramente forti. Colori stupendi a fine fioritura, non rossi come speravo, profumo di terra, dolcezza e aspro mescolati con note di gas, un profilo terpenico molto interessante. Lo scrog effettuato da me, non credo abbia dato il massimo potenziale di queste piante, con il tempo migliorerò anche questo aspetto, ma spero di stare su 1 hg a pianta di media. Aggiornamento a breve con peso a secco, foto dei fiori ripuliti e rapporto sulla potenza di questa varietà. Ringrazio tutti quelli che sono passati a vedere il mio diario, a tutti i like i commenti e ai consigli.. un grande love a tutta la community di growdiaries 💚🙏

03/15/2021 Reppoting of GSC done I used Bonide(4-10-3) Root&Grow with iba! to lessen shock of transplant and heavy defoliating. Flipping to 12-12 today (the first clones will be for outdoors) made before and after videos of defoliation, and reppot. Blue Dream is cruising along nicely with a little LST bending of branches & stems,so all in all not a bad week..

🇩🇪 9.2. Weiter in Form gehalten. Das Video ist vor dem entlauben und nach Justieren aufgenommen. Heute Abend werd ich die untern Blätter die von oberhalb wachsenden verdeckt sind entfernen und die Triebe wieder in die gewünschten Positionen bringen. Ein paar Fotos werden folgen.💛✌️ Das erste Fotoshooting für den Fast Buds Pets & Pot 2026 Contest gemacht 2 von 33 sind ganz ok geworden. Aber ich werd die Woche über noch ein paar Versuche haben. Aber dabei bin ich schon mal.😂💛✌️ 🇬🇧 2.9. Still keeping her in shape. The video was filmed before leaf removal and adjusting. Tonight I'll remove the lower leaves that are hidden by the ones growing above and reposition the shoots. A few photos will follow. 💛✌️ I've done my first photoshoot for the Fast Buds Pets & Pot 2026 contest. 2 out of 33 turned out pretty okay. But I'll have a few more attempts this week. I'm already in! 😂💛✌️

7/19: Started new nutrients today. Filled gallon jug with new nutes. Poured half of new nute mix in half gallon jug. Poured the entire half gallon jug into reservoir. 7/20: Bumped light intensity to 50% 7/21: Filled reservoir to the 2nd line today. Added a total of 1 gallon to res to get it to that line. Poured the rest of the mixed nutes for this week (half gallon) and then another half gallon of just plain water. 7/24: Bumped light intensity to 55% 7/25: Sadness today 😞.. While in the process of doing more LST today I accidentally snapped the main stem. I Panicked! Moved plant back in opposite direction to counteract the split. Will be monitoring very closely! 🙏🏾 ***** For this Grow****** “Day Air Temperature” will be the max temp of tent for the week. “Substrate Temperature” will be the average temp of tent for the week. “Night Air Temperature” will be the lowest temp of the tent for the week.

20.11.2025 Well, I did it and chose a branch to pollinate. I've put a bag over the Agent-Orange-Male-Flowers, cut it off, carried it to the tent, put it over the Gelato x Black Lebanon-Female, shook and clapped et voilà, I hope it worked 😅. She is georgious, splendid and healthy. I need to defoliate her more, but now, after the pollination of one branch, I do prefer to leave her alone for a while. Her flowers are bulping up, the stretch was extremely intense and also she does drink very much! What a journey 🌸💜.

Rainbow melon what can I say? This plant is absolutely one of my favorite so far out of the fast buds genetics. I’ve grown a couple other genetics before and I have to say fast buds definitely checks all the boxes almost makes it too easy. The plant literally grows itself like it has a mind of its own handling low stress training absolutely amazing. Seems like it wants to have a perfect canopy. Very little TLC and the plant absolutely is thriving. 🌿🔥

D72 - This week's diary starts late since I was gone on a short trip. The girls didn't miss me though as they are simply doing their thing, and with the automatic drip system, I don't even have to worry about watering. The girls look amazing! The colas are huge with plenty of frost. I'm very chuffed with how this grow is turning out :) D73 - Gave each girl 1.25-liters of water @ pH 6.6, with 25ml EM-1. I'm fighting against temps and humidity since we have a heatwave with thunderstorms and plenty of rain. The average temp in the tent the last 24 hours was 31 degrees C (88F) and RH 63.5%, which is way high this late in flower. D74 - Yes! Our bad weather has moved on, and the humidity in the tent has dropped significantly to the mid-low 50s. Much better. Have to avoid that budrot! There isn't much to do in the tent now when everything is automated, so I spend more time observing and scouting the girls. I figured out that using my hyper-bright flashlight below the canopy is an excellent way to spot leaves that are yellowing from lack of light. I never thought of that before, but damn, it worked great and will now be a new tool in my arsenal. I removed the yellowing leaves and a couple of other fan leaves blocking bud sites. The rest of the leaves I tucked. Speaking of fan leaves, the stalks on the first girl are purple while they are green on the second. Another difference is that the first look frostier than the second girl. Not sure if that means that the second girl will take longer. One fan leaf on the first girl has a strange discoloration in the middle of a fan leaf, but I'm not overly concerned, considering it is only one leaf, and we're towards the end of the grow. Finally, and then I'll stop harping about fan leaves; one leaf tip on the second girl is turning purple. D76 - I had a first look at the trichomes. Clear/milky on both girls, with a random amber here and there on the second girl. Based on this, I guess chop day is at least a couple of weeks away. D77 - We have reached the end of the sixth week of flower, and everything is trucking along. It's mainly a waiting game at this point, waiting for the buds to fatten up and for the trichomes to mature. I ordered nematodes a few weeks ago and forgot to use them. I don't have a fungus gnat infestation, so it was only a preventative measure anyway. The nematodes were a couple of weeks past their use before date, so no idea if they are still viable, but I figured it is better to use them than throw them. I gave each girl 1.25-liters of nematode water @ pH 6.6, adding 25 ml of EM-1.
