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… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

I don't know where to start and I must admit I'm completely overwhelmed by this beautiful beautiful plant ❤️❤️❤️ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'm so happy 😍😍😍 She is a blessing! Excuse the outburst, but she is magical ☀️ I applaud you guys at Humboldt for creating such a wonderful strain 🙌 Some details upfront, before I rave some more: - 134 Days in total: 70 Days in Veg, 64 Days in Flower with 128W LED in a 60x60x160cm tent - 7 Days Drying regularly, 9 Days Drying in the Fridge - 432g - Wet weight with stems - 103g of those for Fresh Harvest Infused Oil - 190ml Olive oil with 30mg/ml THC & CBD - approx. 20g dry (for dry weight calc.) - 87g for the DrZiggy's Low And Slow Drying in the fridge - 20g dry - 242g for regular Drying @50% RH and 22°C - 55g dry - 30g dried sticky trim in the freezer Summary of my growing experience with this strain: She takes well to massive training and a little neglect in the beginning, meaning she recovers well, which is what I want 😊 I didn't experience any major deficiencies. She had a little nitrogen deficiency during the later veg phase, which she showed with lighter green leaves. I blame this on my long veg time and my pot size of only 11l. She consumed all her soil and nutes by the end of veg. I will keep that in mind for my next grow. Since I increased my nitrogen levels so close to flowering phase, I overdid it a little on the nitrogen which showed a little bit during later flowering phase with downwards clawing leaves. So I will be more careful with nitrogen especially while transitioning into Flower. I did not flush this plant and she smokes already beautifully mild after only a couple of days of curing. Drying her took 7 days in the tent and 9 days in the fridge. She crusted up with lots of stickiness while drying and gave off a good bit of scissor hash & kief when trimming. Smoking her is a great and different experience to me. It's my first time with a 1:1 strain and I can definitely notice the CBD content. She shows in a very well balanced body high with a slight and gentle knock on the THC door. The first couple of days I felt a craving for higher THC which settled down after only a couple of days. Very interesting and definitely worth growing. So you guessed right, I totally recommend growing this beauty. Especially if you are interested in exploring a 1:1 THC:CBD strain with all its magical medicinal values 🙏 Why I grew this strain: Like @Experimentgreen on here, I grew this strain for my Mama ❤️ She is open minded to trying to solve some of her health issues with these beautiful plants and the magic they bring but she also likes to have a bit of fun, she doesn't mind. So a 1:1 strain was quite handy. She suffers from neuropathic pain, arthritis in her joints, restless legs and insomnia. All very relatable issues and perfectly suitable to be introduced to some good CBD and THC content. She already has a little tolerance, since she is treating her restless legs with gummi bears I made with a strength of 1.5mg/gummi bear. This small dose already helps her on a daily for her restless legs. Beautiful 😍 So with this special mission in mind, I wanted to process the plant with only the very best options and create Cannabis Oil (Capsules) for my Mom to take. I chose a method called "Fresh Harvest Infused Cannabis oil" by the wonderful member SweetSue over at 420magazine: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/ I hope it's ok to relink, no need to duplicate already existing and well researched content, right? I will not go into detail and def. recommend reading through the whole thread. I only document the short version here, but feel free to ask me, I'm happy to share my experience. The oil I made has 30mg/ml of THC and CBD. That's a good value. I calculated the strength the following: 75g fresh Flower in 200ml Olive Oil - with 10% CBD&THC 85% extraction efficiency with the infusion method 85% * 10% THC&CBD = 0.0850 0.0850 * 75g = 6.375 gram of available THC & CBD 6.375gram * 1000 = 6375mg/THC 6375mg/CBD 6375mg/200ml = 31.875mg/ml CBD & THC I created capsules with 3mg per capsule. We are currently trying to find the right dose for her. She started taking one capsule 60-90min before bed for 3 days now and will increase by 1 capsule tonight. We continue until a max dose of 15mg/day but always re-evaluate how she feels. She's documenting her experience quite cute. Very heartwarming and powerful. So far she sleeps better and she falls asleep faster, which she hadn't done in a long while. Onset is pretty precisely between 60 and 90 minutes. She has not had any restless legs so far. I'm excited for her and can't wait to see where this takes us. I also made her a salve/creme she uses as a topical on her joints. When she uses it early enough, before the big pain hits, she feels it helps. Of course this is not a science study and everything is purely based on personal experience. I thought I share, in case anyone is interested, also I want to give back a little, since I consume so much knowledge from all over the internet, including here, so thanks 🙏

I moved my fastbuds plants under my new ELUFAH UAP-1500… from the start this light seems like it’s way more than 50 watts brighter than my other light. This light is going to be amazing. I’m already loving it. Can’t wait for grow pros to release more products from ELUFAH… Papapayton is doing great it’s at that stage it’s about to explode in a week or so

I'm trying to make these girls some beasts so I'm vegging the shit out these sexy little mamas.lol.i want them 2 feet before I veg but I just did some good training on them and brought my height actually down so when I can get all the bottom and inner branches to get tall enough to make an even canopy then at that point I will switch to flowering. I have been staying on the Greek regiment from nectar of the gods and my girls are responding nicely.nice lush green and plenty of new growth everywhere. I added the kraken from nectar now that I have the structure I want.this stuff really strengthens your plant.it also help with pests by making your plant harder to eat.it will also help those branches with heavy buds.check it out for real.if you like my diary throw me some likes.peace out fellow growers

Wedding Cake Autoflower 🎂 🎂 🎂 Llegamos a la 8ª Semana 👨‍🌾🏽 de cultivo de las 3 Wedding Cake Auto. En primer lugar, el tamaño de las flores van aumentando gracias a "Bloom Fantastic de Original" y a la buena dosis de nutrientes. La más pequeña se esta quedando atras pero su tallo central y una de sus colas siguen creciendo pero sin florecer "miedo me da jajajaja" En el próximo cultivo, debido a mi espacio solo cultivare 2. En algunas fases del cultivo me las he deseado, incluso para regar.

Всем привет друзья! Был в отпуске, ни до репортов было. Что могу сказать, разочервался я Fast buds. генетика попадается плохая, при чём беру разные сорта. Fast Buds Zkittlez был первый мой куст, когда только начинал гровить. Снял я тогда 120 сухого. Отложилось у меня положительное впечатление. И вот я снова решил поднять этот прекрасный сорт, в итоге получил мини куст. Всем добра и мира!

After surviving a wicked thunderstorm last weekend the Devil's still stand tall. I was able to get some branches tied down and everything secured. Tallest girl measures just over 9ft, up above the app will only allow me to enter 118 inches as the most for height when the tallest plant is 126 inches tall. The peak of the greenhouse frame is 8ft. Been having a hard time keeping Monster Bloom in stock so been using slightly less and compensating with Alaska Morobloom 0-10-10. Stepped up the Purpinator a little bit to 1 1/2 tsp, and plan to > as flowering continues. Hopefully in this next week they blow up with calyxes. Was also considering reintroducing my waterproof lights in places to be used during the daytime where light is scarce. On the other hand it's kind of nice having a lower electric bill, haha. HAPPY GROWING TO ALL!

Day 40-47 (May 31st- June 7th) (Day 41) For the first time in this grow these plants are looking halfway decent. Smell is ramping up too. I finally feel optimistic about this grow. (Day 42) The two jacks and the chunky blueberry are showing early signs of N/Mg deficiencies. I know it’s late in flower but since I’m experimenting with this tent, I’m going to give them one final feeding of nature’s pride 2-5-5.5 (tbsp) along with a teaspoon of oyster shell flour and some rock dust. Everything else I’m going to give a teaspoon of rock dust and oyster shell. There is no way these amendments will fully break down in time to be used by the plant but they could at least use the pH buffering and trace amounts of minerals after their recent leach. Everything but the BAOGC is covered in pistils that don’t really match their bud size. I hope they fill into their pistils because an over abundance of hairs drops the bag appeal like crazy. Over the last few cycles, indoor and outdoor, I’ve definitely learned that different strains and phenotypes mature at different times. Sometimes really radically too. (Day 43) None of the plants are fading at all but they’re still looking good. Black garlic I know should be fading but remains dark green and toxed. I popped a developing seed out of the main bud too. I wonder if that blueberry herm branch pollinated it at all. It seems like plants don’t really like that Destiny dark matter soil by itself. I find it works better mixed with coco or promix 1:1. (Day 44) I’m starting to think I might be mixing up the TWOG and BAOGC. BAOGC took forever to fatten up last round and the 2 phenos I suspected already look done. I was thrown off by the similar terps. The beauty phenos are definitely TWOG (Day 45) God these Jack Herer’s smell good. Nothing but fruity funk. Almost like a vanilla or blueberry yogurt. I would say this stuff has the most overpowering smell in the tent now. I’ve noticed they’re starting to foxtail like crazy. Blueberry#1 too. I’m watering a final low strength feeding of seaweed extract on everything. (Day 47) Everything really fattened up this week. Even at the beginning of the week I was saying I didn’t think they would fill out. Jack Herer and BAOGC specifically made some big gains and nearly doubled their density and still have quite a way to go on them too! The smell has ramped up and finally, everything is looking happy and healthy.

Scusate se ho saltato delle settimane del diario ma ho altre 60 piante a cui stare dietro alle legature dei rami,ho applicato il fimming in fioritura e i fiori sotto si sono gonfiati provate per credere,non dovete tagliare molto ma solo i primi 2 mm del fiore,le piante orange sherbet sono state coltivate in contenitori diversi,uno air pot da 11 lt ed è la pianta già pronta per la raccolta,e l'altra in uno smart pot da 20 lt e la pianta sta ancora crescendo e formando i fiori,bellissima genetica,agli inizi pensavo male per via della grandezza,ma devo dire che è molto resistente e cresce molto se gli dai lo spazio. Grazie Grow diares

So far i feel like the plants have all decent health, for one of them i build a little think to stand on because its 10-15 cm smaller in height so that it would have the same height than the others and gets enough light for sure. I defoliatet completly i think by now, and i will just let buds develop from now Im so curious how it evolves during the next few weeks

Well Everyone!! Here we are! 😁 Nearly at the end of the Eternity Grow Cup journey! 🙌🔥👽🙌🔥 Just want to first say a massive Thankyou to Zamnesia & Plagron for letting me compete in this contest. Would not be here without you! absolute legends😎 I had an absolute blast making the videos every week and showcasing the Grow Huge Thankyouuu to everyone who liked, followed and commented on the diary! I have been hooked for weeks on this! and its thanks to all you guys! haha Much love!! 💚💚 I Appreciate it soo much. 💚💚💚 I have Harvested 2 of the Runtz which were darked out for 3 days in a 3x3. We have 3 more in flower for another week or 2 as they are little behind schedule! There are 2 plants which I will be flushing next week as they have really packed out now. We got 1 straggler but looks like she's fattening up good! and will follow suit very soon! 😎 🌳Plant 1 Harvested and Drying now The size of this momma Runtz is mad! After loosing one of the main stems in early flower, she powered through and made 2 massive fat colas! Hardly ran into any problems with this plant other than loosing a main stem which turned out to be glorious in the end! 💥 She is now drying in the 3x3. I'm aiming for 10 days drying. Smell is absolutely unreal! I would normally do longer but as I have took most of the main fan leaves off I think it will be a bit quicker this harvest. 🌳Plant 2 Harvested and Drying now - Another whopper! super sticky colas all over it! I decided to leave a few more fan leaves on this one for now but may take more this week aiming for 10 days again! couldn't' be happier with the results, Hardly ran into any nutrient problems throughout. We had a few pale leaves early flower due to overwatering but she soon recovered and powered through! Smells like victory! Could not be happier with the Results so far! 2 down 3 to go! cant wait to get a weigh on them fat colas! I will take some more snaps over the next few weeks and show the dried and final trimmed bud of the 2 harvested and hopefully get them uploaded before the contest time expires. First time using the Green Sensation from Plagron! I will 100% be investing in some more or maybe win some lmao! I can see a dramatic difference in Weight and health of the Autos grown! Green stems and healthy leaves , PHAT BUDS!!! 😜😜😜 3 more Plants to go not long now!!!! I Will add another flowering week in next 2 days and show the other 3 still in action! Going to Update this harvest page in the next 2 weeks with dry weigh results and Smoke review to follow!! Good luck to everyone in the contest! 👍 Thanks again to Everyone! Peace Out! Gram_Solo 👽

Only 2x struggling.. Ill give them this week to recover-then ill be using that space for the new critical orange punch auto & 3 watermelon zkittlez auto barney's farm.. Anyways all buckets water was replace with fresh h2o & nutes before 9AM. Took off some branches & leaves.... Not to much!! 5/5 the 2 critical orange punch autos that are doing so well are both receiving liqui cannabiz local south african brand.. With a touch of... Not telling

30/01/2026 This transformation marks the moment she moves past the Purgatory cycle of purification. After shedding the weight of that transition, she’s finally breathing, stretching, and claiming her space. ​...... ​The Awakening: Post-Purification ​The Purgatory cycle is behind her now. Those scarred leaves were just the shedding of the old self—the necessary price for this purification. Now, the ritual of the manifold is taking hold. I’ve opened her up, breaking her singular focus to force a new, balanced symmetry across the hub. ​The Flow of Energy ​By pinning her down, I’ve mastered the apical dominance. I’m redirecting the internal flow, sending the life-force equally into every node rather than letting one stalk hog the light. We are building a foundation of perfect geometry. ​Current State: ​The Structure: The LST is set. I’ve widened the canopy to maximize the light-soak, ensuring no part of her is left in the shadows. ​The Environment: The reflective scroll-work is guarding the roots, keeping the light on the leaves and out of the depths where the nutrients flow. ​Growth: She’s vibrating with a new frequency. The energy levels are surging, and you can see the secondary shoots beginning their ascent. This is where the expansion truly begins. ​The cleanse continues, but the frame is set. She’s getting bigger, stronger, and more aligned with the ritual. ​..... I've just stretch her wings out to open her centre for the new shoots.. .... -Midday- Attached her training Wires; therse create huge knuckles! They undo easy as well; no faffing about! ..... Few-hours later... She's flipped her leaves and is praying 🙏 🤲 🕍 🕌 ⛪️ Diary Entry: Friday, Jan 30th – The Midday Pivot ​The Steady State ​Transitioned to a maintenance-level reservoir dose of 10ml 12% H_2O_2 in the 5L master-mix for the Bubblegum (Female Seeds) and Back To The Future #2. ​Adjusted the nutritional frequency after running out of "Grow" by pivoting to a half-dose of Bloom (2ml/L); this provides the Phosphorus and Potassium needed to harden the vascular knuckles without a Nitrogen spike. ​Applied botanical hydrosol to the mix to maintain the "stillness" and clear biofilm management. ​Hardware & Logistics ​Confirmed with Ergtech that the Gativa power leads have shipped via FedEx (Tracking: 888340178046). ​Delivery is locked for Monday, Feb 2nd, aligning perfectly with the end of the 72-hour structural hardening phase. ​Biological Alignment ​Successfully reached the Round 3 protocol; the "biofilm shells" in the right ear are breaking down under the bubbling/crackling phase. ​The vagus nerve release is active: right nostril is open, sense of smell is sharp, and the internal "whooshing" sound of vascular flow is serving as the metronome for the reset. ​Lineage acknowledgment: The "40% Italian engine" is driving the symmetry and discipline of the manifolding. ​The Result (Few Hours Later...) ​The Bubblegum has already responded to the wiring with an aggressive phototropic turn; she is stretching and "praying" back toward the light, signaling peak turgor pressure. ​The Back To The Future #2 remains stable under the dome, preparing to transition out of the stillness and into the manifold frame. .... 31/01/2026 Log Entry: Atmospheric Optimization & Metabolic Continuity ​Environmental Parameters ​Thermal Logic: Maintaining a constant 27°C (80.6°F) diurnal/nocturnal cycle. By eliminating the standard 3°C nighttime drop, I am bypassing the "metabolic glitch" and ensuring uninterrupted enzymatic velocity and nutrient uptake. ​The 8-Inch Upgrade: Transitioning from 6-inch to 8-inch industrial ventilation. This increases atmospheric throughput while reducing static pressure and turbulence. The goal is a total "atmospheric flush" to prevent stagnation and potential biofilm/pathogen footholds. ​The "Back to the Future" Survivor ​Current State: The plant is in a high-turgor "Prayer" position, indicating optimal root pressure and water potential. ​The Transition: Executing Dome Removal during a 15-minute "dark window" to minimize transpirational shock. Removing the dome now introduces the plant to the new 8-inch airflow, forcing a "hardening off" response while she is at her metabolic peak. .... ​01/02/2026 Lite defoll of the inner fan leaves to open up her new shoots 🔫 bubblegum femaleseeds. 02/02/2026 Defolled one fan leaves and using wires to anchor down #back to the Future

07/10/20253 19:00 15.6°C 54%RH Another week with loads of rain passed,this time was so heavy that i waited two days of sun to come back and even if so i found the pots pretty full of water These days were so cold with nights under 10°C but the plants looks good so It's ok Forecast says next week will be fully sunny with no rain, temperature will raise to 24/25 °C during days which is aligned to my place in this period #1 Apricot auto 76 days from seed Last video right before harvest #2 gorilla z auto 102 days from seed Harvest for these branches too,i will update with smoke report and the final weight Smell Is super piney and pungent nothing about the z terps i smelled during the first stage of flowering,sadly vanished #3 Coco fresh 68 days from seed This plant won't stop surprising me,in a week the bud development was enormous with a nice coat of resin Even if this one started flowering later Is now officially outstanding the Coco Milk The smell Is unbelievable a 50/50 ratio of gassy and creamy flavour with a tropical candy hint like an original runtz,i can't wait to see how this comes out With these cold days leaves are fading to the blue/purple side What is surprising me the most Is how the flowers looks,full of pistils,full of trichomes,perfect calix/leaf ratio and dense medium/small size exactly what i'm looking for #4 Coco Milk 80 days from seed Flowers are now bulking a lot but the heavy defoliation and lollipopping seems to have pretty damaged this plant The smell Is so strong and noticeable far from the spot,flavour il like a gassy milk somehow fresh like a coconut and buttery like cookie dough I don't know honestly how many days i have to wait until harvest but this is definitively going to chop before Coco fresh #5 Just some hash i'm smoking right now ,always by anonymouz farm ,this one Is 90u which Is cheaper than a static but pretty enjoyable #6 sample joint of apricot auto i'm smoking right now,as you can see this one has an impressive amount of trichomes ,flavour Is the best out of the three autoflower and potency Is here,lineage says it'a heavy indica but i feel creative and uplifted with a little sedative side after an hour Probably this week i will come back another time as will be sunny,next week end i will update with the dry weight of apricot and gorilla z,buds are now drying at 19/17 °C and 53/52% RH which Is pretty near the perfection and will take 8/9 days minimum
