The Runtz auto girls are doing 😊. They have settled in and are fattening and stacking nicely. They are only about 16-18 inches total, but have some nice fat buds, should be some good weight. They are starting to develop some frost, but are very greasy to the touch 🤤 Trying to keep them in a sweet spot so they keep developing. RH around 55-58 % and Temps between 77-80 degrees. They are in week 8 now, and suggested harvest is about 70-75 days… Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️🌱

Top dressed with some more soil. The top was looking depleted and just want to keep it from completely taking all the nutrients from the soil. Added a mix of power bloom with azomite and glacial rock dust. I watered in with some pure protein dissolved into hot water then added to the water I was using at diluted levels. The second watering they got this week was with molasses. which also does a good job of dropping the ph of my water to the perfect level and a little bit of Epsom salt because I ran out of my cal mag and also want the plant to have plenty of sulfur. Buds are looking cool and remind me of little pine trees. At first glance it seems like they are starting to foxtail but the buds are fattening once the new growth on top starts to expand more. the main colas are almost a foot long each, but hard to tell because the planetary buds around the main colas are blocking them from getting a good picture. Amazed by how frosty the sugar leaves and even some of the older fan leaves are. Her smells are mostly sweet and candy-like. got a little sneek peak of what her fade should look like from one of the leaves being severed partially with a nice yellow and purple. She put on a decent amount of weight this week but towards the end,I can tell she's starting to slow down. Looks like it will still bulk a little more but noticing fewer white and more orange hairs. hoping all my plants finish around 8-9 weeks. i want to try to harvest them all at the same time if i can.

Week 8 - 05/03 - 05/10 Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED Temperature - 76 +/-2 Humidity - 55 +/-5 D1 Flower - This week will be the transition week for the ladies, each day reducing the light schedule by an hr. It worked pretty well last time so hopefully, this batch follows suit. I will change the MH bulb to an HPS midweek, along with switching on the bloom switch for the LED light. Added the Scrog net and ended up defoliating and cleaning up the underside a little bit. D4 Flower - Watered with nutrients and switched to an HPS bulb D7 Flower - Plants are doing great, nod spacing is nice and stacked. The transition eased the plants into flower, they are down to 12 on 12 off.

The fbt29 is on day 77 and is a few weeks from harvest. Expecting her to go over 90 days. She's hella frosty and smells exactly like her sibling did. Great signs of stability from the fastbuds tester. Zkittlez and forgotten cookies are on day 40 and got their first training. Theyre in stretch since a few days ago. More big girls in the making :D Orange Sherbet is on day 20. So far she's on schedule. This strain seems to be sensitive to nitrogen. The grape walker kush and fugue state are on day 14 and are doing well after dealing with heat issues last week

Wk 5 was Steady Away, Explosive growth starting, Transplanted one from aero to coco and added Began the Scrog As you may have noticed, I Expanded the garden to give the coco girls some more room. The Dawg in the aero wasn't taking well at all, she hadn't really had a good innings from the beginning. I transplanted her into the coco and Fed her very week nutes..

Beginning of week.. I went ahead and bumped the TDS to 1000 PPM this week. I don't think I'm going to go much higher than that. Usually don't have to.. Hopefully that's not too much.. I also started adding a bloom booster from Advanced Nutrients called Kushie Kush.. It works great for all strains tho lol. So the runoff is still acting up.. But it is getting better... Slowly. I emailed General Hydroponics on the issue a few days ago and they have not gotten back to me yet... Ugh. But going in: 1000 PPM.. Runoff: 700 PPM.. That was this morning.. Still have not given her plain water yet.. Just been feeding every watering.. Not really any signs of issues right now. A couple leaves are a little yellow (literally 2).. Another couple have some spots (maybe 4 or 5 leaves).. But other than that she is happy, healthy and smelling like a fucking champion! Seriously fucking delicious.. And to think the smell is supposed to warn off predators.. Hah! Good luck with that!!! Barely 8 days of flowering and she is already stacking so fucking nicely! I can't wait to see what kinda magic this gal is gonna do! So happy and excited!!! The light sits about 18 inches from the canopy right now at 100% power. She is still stretching a little but seems like she may be done with that pretty soon.. Maybe even before this week is over. Clones didn't make it.. I think it was too cold. They all sprouted roots but just stopped and they all yellowed out like a mf'r.. Looked like shit so I took them out back Ol' Yeller style and put them out of their misery 😭.. But it's ok.. The mama needs all the focus on her right now! Lol.. Oh yeah.. I went ahead and pulled a couple of the tallest branches down.. Just a tad.. Brought the ties up a node or so on each and pulled it tight.. Spread her out a little but I was nervous of snapping one off so I didnt try to push it too much.. These branches are tough af! Later that day.. General Hydroponics finally got back to me.. They said that I'm an idiot for using FloraKleen during transition like that.. Lol jk.. They did say that I should have NOT done that.. And that my runoff should ALWAYS be lower than it is going in due to the ppant taking up the nutrients.. But that just doesn't seem right to me.. Ive ALWAYS had my runoff higher.. Literally ALWAYS.. but without issues. They said that if the runoff PPM is higher, then there's a problem.. Maybe if I was doing frequent fertigation.. But I'm not.. And never will because that just sounds like a waste of nutrients.. But whatever.. Today I learned that FloraKleen is ONLY for pre-harveat flushing.. Or hydroponic reservoir cleaning in between nutrient changes.. But definately not the way I used it lol.. Thankfully she is still doing good 👍... Buuuut whoops lol Mid week.. Still doing magical things! Lol.. I didn't think she was gonna fill out this tent so nicely! Trichomes are forming nicely.. The purpling is looking amazing also! Some spots on SOME leaves.. But not alot.. Not sure what that is about.. No pests.. No deficiencies as far as I can tell.. Maybe just a mutation? Nothing to worry about tho.. This girl is so fucking gorgeous! I love it!.. Back to feed, water, feed, water, etc. schedule now.. I'm hoping that 1000 PPM isnt going to be too high for her.. But if it is, I will adjust accordingly. End of week.. Seems to me like the stretching has stopped.. So I'm going to cut out the FloraGro.. Double up on the FloraBloom and later into flower I will bump up the Kushie Kush Bloom Booster. She's doing great! Smells fucking amazing! I thought my ETHOS Early Lemon Berry R1 was gonna be the best strain ever.. Then I grew this girlie! Not just a lemony scent.. But like a very sweetened lemonade.. Incredible! Trichomes are EVERYWHERE! Such an awesome, beautiful strain! Good job FastBuds.. Can't wait to try more of your strains! Too bad you wont even acknowledge my grow journal like you do everyone elses.. But whatev.. Lol.. On to the next week!!!...

Zamnesia Seeds has got some fire genetics as we can see from the photos this bud looks phenomenal ... She is on day 78 and only getting water from here on out I expect to be giving her the chop in the next week I wish I could have her dried and cured for Christmas but that doesn't seem likely .. but I do know for the beginning of the year we will have some good smoke...

To the community I want to say thanks Since they helped me out so many times Thanks a lot for your time and support Thank you kindly grow diaries for keeping up to date with so many articles and growers around showing their cool stuff, thanks for the opportunity to grow and to share knowledge, also appreciate the contest and I'm hoping to participate soon with this diary in some more, I think it is a pretty cool way to give motivation to the cannabis community, let's keep making great things with weed so the world gets to know our way, one day they'll understand its love we put on here, love and good vibes So good so far this strain was bomb One of my best, grew 110cm Had many colas and buds Was really strong at diseases Liked nutes a lot and water High was more cerebral but still good high tho very narcotic when u smoke too much If I have to say what is the score to me it will be 8 out of 10, since it didn't taste like cream and the high is more cerebral to my like Other than that she's pretty good Very creative must say Tons of friends enjoyed her as well

Got environment mostly dialed in thanks to an additional cool air intake fan, can get 450w mh nice and close for good penetration. Beginning the process of Lst, I’ve wrapped some plant straps around the base of each plant to anchor them, and straps at the top of their stems, giving them a slight bend. I’ll slowly increase the bend over time in order to avoid possible damage. The Gelato OG seems quite vigorous compared to the Widow so far. Starting to bump up nutes, runoff @400ppm -10/28

Nouvelle semaine en intérieur, j’ai du éliminer une grande gotti et la graine inconnue, c’etais malheureusement des mâles. Je pense que je devrais bientot en éliminer une troisième, la deuxième grande gotti, elle ne sait toujours pas déclarer mais à première vu on dirais un mal, mais faut encore attendre pour en avoir le cœurs net. Rien a dire de plus, elle commence chacune à bien developper leur pistil. Frosty est petite mais bien charnue, je ne crois pas qu’elle va donner beaucoup mais elle va donner un bon truc je le sens bien 🙏🏻 Aladdin kush #1 se porte bien, et ce malgré son tronc fendu en deux. Elle se développe très bien, et prends une belle hauteur, je sens qu’elle va me donner de belle chose! Aladdin kush #2 tous comme sa sœur mais sans le tronc fendu bien sûrs.

5/24 Woke up on payday to find that my father is in the hospital. My house was robbed a few days before so I guess the hits keep coming. The plants are doing good though. I'm glad I kept them in as we had a frost last night. I moved my cage yesterday onto the asphalt and put the big pallet in. I just need to sanitize the others before they go in the cage. I'm being super cautious. I think tomorrow will be the day I make the switch to the garage while they fill out these 3's.OK. 5/25 Plants were all moved to the garage with the door open for indirect light. It's 54 degrees. At night I'll pull them back in and give them a few more hours under the hps which will also help with heat. Knocked a stem sideways but it'll pop back. Feels good to get things moving. HST seems to being going good. UPDATE: Went back over at one and noticed that the plant I hit with a wire (or something I didn't see what happened) was almost sideways and really loose. I had tied it to a clip with flagging. That didn't work. I asked a friend and I ended up pinching off the first true leaves then mounded happy drug up around it to keep it upright. It LOOKS much happier. Of course that shit happens to your biggest healthiest plants. Oh well all the 10th planet are doing phenomenal. Can't wait to move these girls to there final homes. Plants went under lights at seven. I'm acclimenting them to the right light schedule. I don't want to jump from 18/6 to 15 hours. They did really good in the cold Temps and wind. The big one I had to fix looks like it's doing great. Once they are hardened and fill these pots they go in their final home. 5/26 Plants did great being in direct sunlight for a few hours and staying in the garage at night. They look super healthy. I'm planning on watering tomorrow. Wondering if I should start to add some silica to strengthen the stalks. Also wondering if I should add more soil to some of the pots like I did to the other one as the stretched a little. This is something I may do tomorrow before I water. Went back over to switch the lights on and pull the plants back and lock up at 7:30. Forgot my phone of course and these girls were looking amazing. I have to water tomorrow. I coukd add more soul to some of the pots but I'm reluctant due to stem rot. They'll get buried much deeper in there final homes. Don't want to mount up soil and then water and promote rot. Anyway plants are adapting amazing. Dialing the light closer to normal here. This is a great transition place for them to he. I've noticed a few wrinkled leaves but thats to be expected. Oh, I got my free pure Michigan seeds from premium cultivars!!! 5/27 WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY WITH HALF A Powerade BOTTLE APPROX. 16OZ. Plants are in direct light in the mornings and I haven't seem any burning yet. I noticed a small spot on one of the first true leaves but I think it's just a bite from an insect. Everything is green as hell. I'm wondering if I should add fresh soil to the pots but I didn't want to do it on a watering day. Plus the plants will be going in there final homes shortly. Very happy with progress this far. UPDATE Went over at 1230 and everything looked great. I sanitized the cage AND the pallets. Also bought 3 more 30 gallon grow bags. Once they go in there they will explode! I can't wait. I'm considering ordering netting for moths. Depending on price i might get some. If not I'll keep using the BT. UPDATE: Went and checked around 430. Temps were in the 70's and they had a few hours of direct sun. No burns evident as of yet. Pallets fit in the cage like puzzle pieces. Now I need to sanitize my grade stakes bamboo and trellis and setthat stuff up. I'm going to screw the grade stakes to the pallets and attach garden rods and bamboo with zip ties and I'll have a horizontal trellis. Once branches are a little bigger I'll begin LST. The plants that I topped AND the ones I FIMed are doing great. The FIMed ones with at least three colas some have four. Hoping the plants took that time growing roots. 5/28 Plants are all standing up tall. They loved that water. Haven't noticed any burns and they get direct sunlight in the mornings. Soon I can put them in the cage and start setting up my trellis and supports. Fan leaves on soms are bigger than my hands. These girls are probably the healthiest plants I've grown. I usually do clones and end up starting with problems. This is great starting with seeds and have no problems. UPDATE: Went back around two because Temps had reached 92f and rh was only 20%. Nights cool off greatly so it's a dramatic temperature shift. Plants looked great. All standing up looking great. Put plants in at 7:30 ,and continue the light until 9 and have it turn on at 4am. Then they are out by sunrise. Did notice some burning on one of my plants a large fan leaf. What can I say? It was extremely hot. I'm surprised they did as well as they did. 5/29 Everything standing up perfectly looking great. Plantscget an extra hour of sun at night and morning and are on 19/7 with the extra added light. Trying to acclimate and finish hardening off this week. I'd love to be able to at least put them in full sunlight for the day. I think they'd be fine. I'm really impressed with how they are growing. Second guessing not HST all of them. However I think I might light dep a couple. We'll see. I've still got work to do. UPDATE: put the plants in around 7. One of my lights shit the bed. They are just 150 watt hps but I was using them to finish hardening off my plants and slowly adjust them to the natural light. The on/off switch fell off. I'm sure my cousin can fix it bit the one is pe9bably fine as I'm only going fir a few more days. The thing about having this many plants to choose from is that I can pheno hunt and put the VERY best into the final containers and if I decide too I could light dep. 5/30 WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY WITH HALF A POWERADE BOTTLE. My cousin can probably fix the other light but I don't think it will matter. Within a week I'm going to have these girls in their final homes. I just need to sanitize the trellis and posts and then screw them to the pallets. I'll have this all taken care of before the plants go in the hole. I did notice another burn on a leaf. Def glad I'm taking the time to do this right. UPDATE: I put the girls in the barn around 7:30 and flicked the one 150 watt HPS light I have working on. I added a half hour more of darkness to try to acclimate them quicker. Light stays on until 9 qnd came back on at four but i changed it to 4:30. I'm usually there by 5. I'm looking through my surveillance cameras and it doesn't even look like the light is on. Of course its super bright out but I should be able to see from that image. Luckily the building the go in has massive windows up top to let light in and windows on every side so the light is probably unnecessary. However due to my bullshit luck last year I'm being as cautious as I can. Tomorrow is supposed to be extremely hot again as is the next day. I think I'll leave the door down a little, open the other and move the plants back so they have no direct sunlight and adding a fan. That way they can continue to recover. They seem bigger everything I see them. 5/31 Another hot day. I figure a few more days (under a week) and I can transplant these girls! Supposed to be 85 today and 90 tomm. It was 45 when I got here. These girls are doing well handling this bipolar weather. UPDATE: IM AN IDIOT AND THIS IS AN 8 DAY WEEK lol. Maybe I'll do a six day week next time to get back on track. Went back over at two and noticed some burns. Sent a video to a friend andcwith the sun we've had and the weather in the 90's he agreed the damage was minimal. However there was someone there working who opened more doors which let a lot more light in. It's supposed to be in the 90s tomorrow too. I may leave the doors shut. There are windows on everyside and an enormous cone at the top so the get plenty of sun. He also grows and I've been careful to not let anyone that grows go around my plants. I'm going to have to talk with family about this. To be honest I'm kinda pissed. Next watering I may add some kelp me kelp you and start a small nute regimen. UPDATE Went back over at seven after having a panic attack. Half stoned half asleep. Stupidly I was looking at a plant and thought "shit" the FIM must not have took but in reality I was just stoned and tired so I topped a plant that had already been fimmed so we'll see how that goes. Purple punch is so far behind everything else it's not even funny. There might be one that's doing pretty well and that of course is the one with no HST. Branches on the other strains are thick and ready for LST though. What I think I'll do is transplant the 10th planets and the blueberry cheese ones that are ready and hold off on the rest for a while. Hopfully I'll be able to show plants in final homes next week.

Just missed 300 grams Easy harvest trimming was not that bad as leaves were large and stemmed mostly. Dry trim very easy Dry took a while as rain moved in and had to drag out the dehumidifiers She makes up for what little difficulties during grow with excellent results Highly recommend

Day 8: Nothing New Notes: New lights were supposed to be here today (Monday) according to tracking, but of course, were not. So, we still got blurples for at least the next day. Both plants seem to be growing, slowly but surely! Temp and humidity are relatively under control. Based on the size of the plants, I'm thinking I might transplant into their final homes (5 gal Smart Pots) by the end of the week! Refilling the humidifier twice a day is kind of a pain. Was looking into a possible DIY solution to feed the tank from a large reservoir, so that might be coming in the future. Plants look good, soil looks kinda dry-ish, so I will be watering tomorrow. Day 9: Watering Notes: RIP my dreams of getting a new lights. Shipment is officially delayed with no ETA. Also, watered plants as they looked a little parched, and the soil was super dry. Day 10: Nothing new Notes: Lights have signature confirmation and I wasn't home 😢 Going to pick them up at the PO tomorrow and setting the damn thing up ASAP. I also mounted my exhaust fan to one of the 2x4s framing the room because it felt like CFM was lower than usual which I attribute to putting the exhaust fan all the way on the floor which added a couple bends to the ducting and lengthened it by a few feet. After mounting it (close to the exhaust port in the tent), it seemed to pick up a bit. Plants look ok. Growing very slowly. Soil still looks damp so we're good on watering! GSC definitely looks ready to transplant soon, possibly in the next day or two. NL is close behind it. Day 11: Watering Notes: I was waiting at the post office in the morning for them to open. I got home and hung the light while removing the old one. When I turned them on, HOLY SHIT ARE THEY BRIGHT. Staring at them is almost as bad as staring at the Sun -neither of which I recommend doing-. I set it up right before lights out so I didn't get to test too much. When I got home -after they have been running for 2 hours-, first thing I noticed was the temperature increase. Thermometer said it was 79f. Granted, this is running at full strength (I didn't get to adjust before I left for work). I adjusted it down to roughly 50% as most of this light is being wasted on these poor seedlings anyway. I also pointed the fan at the heat sink. We'll see how the combination of these two things affect the temperature. The GSC looks ready for transplant, with NL close behind it. I could probably transplant the GSC tonight, but I'd rather transplant both at the same time. I might transplant them Friday night after I get home, or Sunday. With that being said, I'm going to hold off on watering them until I put them in their new 5gal Smart Pots. edit: I actually did end up giving them a tiny bit of water. Day 12: Nothing new Notes: Will be transplanting on Sunday (Day 14). Plants are growing pretty steadily now. Both just about have their first full set of leaves! New lights are fucking amazing. I decided to return my filter / fan to upgrade to a better quality setup. I got a Vortex 6in S series for better longevity and also to quiet the grow area. Replaced the filter I got with a 6x16 Phresh carbon filter. Once they're both here, gonna set them up, and return the others. Day 13: Nothing new Notes: GSC is getting so big. Already up to two nodes. Same goes for the NL, but it's more Indica looking in that it's "bushy" and flat. Pretty much a sign of how the two will compare in size later on in their lives. Also, my pH pen sucks, and I needed a TDS pen, so I am going to return the shit one I got and get a BlueLab growers toolkit, which is just a pH pen and a TDS pen. Might seem like I'm going overboard, but I am trying to future-proof my setup for as long as possible. I like to get years if not decades of use out of things I purchase. The higher up-front costs are worth it to me to have a quality product that lasts. Day 14: Transplant Notes: Today is the big move. Bought some shelving / plastic containers at the hardware store for a easy to clean up drainage system. Also bought a big bag of perlite to mix and some random other tools. I mixed both 5gal Smart Pots with a 2:1 Fox Farms Ocean Forest / Perlite mix to help with drainage and aeration. I may have messed up a little and not filled the pot that will be housing the NL, but it's roughly about 3/4 full, and I may have also buried her a little bit deeper than I should have. Other than that, it was a pretty event-free move. Everything is looking good so far. Now that they're in their new homes, the countdown begins, 3 weeks, until I can start feeding them nutrients.
