Update this is the 5th week in veg. I had trim everything from below and want to keep top of the canopy last week as well topped the 2nd time. The 6 main colas goes to 12 and after the 2nd topped now 24 main colas(I didn’t do the side branches)… I am going to let it veg out until week 6 or 8 depemdinf on the bounce back.

One love, growers 🇯🇲💚 So today we have the first day of Week 4(1.12.25)of vegetation, counting from the first cotyledon leaf. The girls have recovered quite well since Thursday (27.11.25) when they were topped and bent, and we are going strong without flipping from the stress. TBH, try putting other autoflowers through that much stress in the middle of Week 3 compared to Fast Buds without flipping into flower 🤲🏻 BIG UP to their genetics. They are really changing the game. What do yall think of the girls, growmies? Any tips? Btw, the fertrometr finally shows the living soil is OK, it took those little rascals long enough to make it 🐛 2.12.2025 They look so freakin beatifull i needed to shot some random short. Again and again shout out to Fast Buds team. See ya later growmies👽 5.12.2025 🚀 Quick Vibe Check (Day 25) Just a quick update today, growmies! 💚 It's December 5th, and the girls are cruising into Day 25 of vegetation. What can I say? They look absolutely perfect! 💪 They are beautifully bushy and full of life. Now the focus is just on keeping that canopy nice and level so every tip catches maximum light and we find that sweet spot. Everything is running smoothly, catch you at the next update in week 5. Sending everyone one love and happy growing! 🙏

Day 51 : Watered with 2.5L each lady. I added as always 1 co2 tab per 4.5L . Also i added nutrients. The next one will be pure water. Her buds are so dense and she will produce a lot of crystals. Amazing smell so far. Edit (Day 56) : Watered 1.5L pure tap water of 7.5ph and 360ppm. No co2 today. Just pure water with 0.5/L Cal-Mag. Buds are fattening nothing else.

Mental rainbow f1 I have just switched her to 12/12 light schedule to start the flowering stage and hopefully start to see more streaching and signs of transitioning become more noticeable been seeing the plant stretching over the past few days and foliage getting wider

-Still battling getting the humidity lower than 59° but as far as right now I'm just looking to do a light defoliation at the end of week 3 and hopefully expose more but sites. -Slowly taking off big fan leaves day by day instead of doing it all at once.

It's week five of flowering, and everything is currently going according to plan. The buds are slowly growing bigger and becoming frosty. Once again, Barney's Farm provides top-quality seeds you can rely on.

It is harvest day for Miss Sweet Skunk. Due to the excessive rain this week and two places of bud rot, Mother Nature forced me to take her down. 2 more weeks would have been nice but that didn't happen. If you have been following me then you know that Miss Sweet Skunk encountered a terrible misfortune. It hailed one evening and one of her two colas was broken. My husband found her damage first and taped her up and then put a wire tie around her. According to the grow diary question/answer platform, I was able to learn that we had done the right thing and changes were good that she would recover from her injury. Not only did Sweet Skunk recover, but she went onto growing at a height of 2 feet, 11 inches. That is just under 100 cm. According to Royal Queen website, "Sweet Skunk Auto seeds produce plants that grow to a very manageable height of around 60–100cm." AND even though Sweet Skunk had a broken stem, she GREW! This plant was a very tall and lanky plant. Her buds are plentiful but started out quite small. I wish I had another couple of weeks to see her reach her full potential, but that is left for another grow. For now, I am happy she survived all the weather that Mother Nature threw at her this week and it is a good day:) **The last two pictures are pictures of my indoor grow of Sweet Skunk that I did NOT record on grow diaries. However, it is a great way to compare an outdoor grow and indoor grow of the same strain. Stay turned for weigh ins.

Two 27 gallon RDWC system, was initially for two plants but after issues with germination and this seed sprouting exceptionally fast, I decided to commit to this one. Two 1000 watt LEDs, one Bloom/Veg switch, one full spectrum with brightness knob. Have third that is bloom/veg switch 600w to put in middle over reservoir when growing two. 8" net pots to allow more spaced out root system in such a big container with 4 air stones. 1110GPH air pump, with 4 air stones to each tote, 70GPH water pump. Initially top fed, until roots are developed enough.

MONDAY: Taking all those cuttings last week seems to have really triggered her auxins, all branches are stretching, even the ones I cut from, but her main is reeeaaalllly stretching.. I think I'm gonna have to either top her or supercrop her. I've got to keep her height down so she isn't too much of a pain to deal with in a tent full of her little clones. this fall. Or maybe I'll just stick her in a closet somewhere and keep about 15 watts on her all winter long, then take some more cuttings to put outdoors? I wish I know for sure how well she smelled/tasted/intoxicated. I'd hate to learn she's a super-plant and not be able to grow her again... WEDNESDAY: I gave her a drink of water with bud candy and calimagic and started foliar feeding with Flower's Kiss. THURSDAY: I checked her clones today...4 have rooted very well and going into 3 gal pots tomorrow. Foliar fed her and told her how beautiful she looks. FRIDAY: I gave her a gallon of grow nutes including Microbe Brew and also started her on Terpinator. I planted 7 of her clones in 3 gallon (white) fabric pots today. They are sharing the 4 x 4 tent with the 6 x White Widow + 1 x Candy Cane seedlings for now. SATURDAY: I planted 7 of her clones today in 3 gallon (white) fabric pots. I added two new blue/cold white LED panels to the 4 x 4 tent. They are kickass. Very low heat and excellent coverage. The 2 lights is overkill for this space, but I like it....a lot. So much so, that I will order 4 of them in 660nm deep red for flowering..two for the 4 x 4 and two for the 5 x 4. I also bought and installed a 16' string of 300 Cold White (7000k)/Warm White (2800k) strip lights(150 each). It has a remote control which lets me change over to warm white for flowering...or have steady cold white and pulse warm white..or whatever. I think that they will serve as excellent low-heat side/corner lighting. Kinda pricey because in addition to the lights, you have to buy a controller and power supply, but they seem very effective. I plan to order another set for the 4 x 4 tent. But, it's a double-row set (600 leds) ..one row of lights is warm white, and the other is RGB adjustable, so I can run 440nm blues for veg and 660nm reds for flower. I plan to keep them just below the canopy so as to illuminate the secondary and tertiary buds as much as possible. Once this concept is proven (and once I save the money), I'll do the same thing in the 4 x 5 tent. Update: Ok, so I've decided I'm only kinda happy with the strip lights.. I've decided to try velcroing 4 of those 4' integrated led tube lights in cold white for veg and warm white for flower to my horizontal poles. The cold white(6500k) are 2-rows of lights that pull 36w and put out 3000 lumens each and the warm white(2700) are single row pulling 24w at 2200 lumens each.

I‘m pretty happy with These Girls. They Strech Fine and the flower now begins To get bigger. The only thing Im a Bit Confused about is the nutrition. The got Nearly Nothing. Just a Bit Heaven. And Bloom at the First week of flower. In Not Sure how To find the Right Rhythm, because they seem To get overfed fast.

Hello =) schönen Sonntag euch 🌞 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche war leider wieder alles andere als ruhig 😅 Ich konnte zwar durch regelmäßiges Absenken des EC den Burn von Notorious stoppen, aber wäre ja langweilig, wenn jetzt gerade in der wichtigen Phase alles gut läuft, oder =D Zum Regulieren habe ich immer feste Summen entnommen, dann die neu zuzufügende Menge auf die vorher berechneten Werte gebracht, und durch gezieltes, getrenntes Einstellen weiterhin ein vollständiges NPK-Profil bei insgesamt niedrigerem Ionenlevel gewährleistet =) ⚖️ Ich bin ja mit recht hohem EC in die Bulking-Phase gestartet, unter der Annahme, das wird gut gehen, wenn ich ein bisschen entspannter fahre und Notorious wieder besser mitmacht. Was ich eher weniger auf dem Schirm hatte, war, dass sich dadurch der Nährstoff- und Ionenbedarf der Pflanzen funktional stark verschoben hat 🤦‍♂️ =D Das Ganze dann in Kombination mit sehr weichem Wasser (wirklich brutal geringe Pufferkapazität 😵‍💫) und entspannterer Lösung – also mehr freiem Wasser und damit mehr Raum für Säureeintrag, führte langsam zu einer zunehmenden Versauerung der Nährstofflösung... Ich habe den sich einschleichenden pH-Drift zunächst als normales Uptake-Pattern bei dem Verhalten meiner höher angesetzten Lösung gedeutet, und den EC durch regelmäßige Top-ups weiter nach unten reguliert, das verbrauchte Wasser ersetzt und den pH wieder nach oben gezogen. Allerdings ausschließlich über Top-ups, ohne aktives pH+ bzw. ohne echten Pufferaufbau. Dabei habe ich leider viel zu spät gecheckt, dass sich das pH-Muster immer weiter nach unten verschiebt =(.. Nach etwa zwei Tagen wurde dann klar, dass es sich um ein Pufferproblem handelt und der pH-Wert bei unverändertem Vorgehen in einen kritischen Bereich rutschen würde. Durch die Verzögerung beim Beschaffen von pH+ stand das System über etwa drei Nächte jeweils mehrere Stunden im zu sauren Bereich (pH 5,3–5,0), was in dieser Phase leider zu einer deutlichen Wachstumsbremse geführt hat 😑🥀 Der Fehler lag nicht im reinen EC-Wert, sondern in der fehlenden Pufferreserve. Das habe ich – FML – bei dem sehr weichen Wasser dummerweise viel zu spät berücksichtigt 🤦‍♂️💀 Nach dem Einbringen von pH+ und dem Auffüllen des Puffers ist das Pattern aber wieder so, wie es sein sollte =) ✅ Das Wurzelsystem hat nach etwa 12 Stunden direkt wieder losgelegt mit gutem Uptake. Ich hatte hier wirklich Glück, dass die Pflanzen lediglich gehemmt waren, und hoffe jetzt, in den letzten 2–3 Wochen noch ein bisschen was gutmachen zu können 🤞🔥 Passiert mir sicher nicht nochmal =D 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Aktuell durch die letzte Woche hier nicht allzu viel zu berichten.. Blueberry Cupcake zieht den Frost weiter an und sie riecht traumhaft =) Ich habe auch den Eindruck, dass sie die Woche noch am besten mitgemacht hat. Entwicklungstechnisch wirkt es so, als könnte hier noch etwas kommen, da noch viele weiße Stigmen sichtbar sind – vor allem an den Seiten der Buds 🌿 Vom jetzigen Stand hoffe ich auf noch 2–3 Wochen =)=)🔥 Purpz hat ebenfalls gelitten und nicht sonderlich viel in Stacking investiert. Der Frost zieht auch hier schön weiter an, allerdings haben sich leichte Verfärbungen auf den Blättern gezeigt 🍂 Insgesamt sieht sie immer noch heftig aus, gerade deshalb ärgert mich die Handbremse hier wirklich … schöner Pheno 💜 Notorious hat einfach fast eine Pause eingelegt =D Das Frostbild ist weiterhin schön, allerdings ist sie in ihrer Entwicklung fast stehen geblieben.. Ich vermute, dass der zuvor hohe EC in Kombination mit der pH-Thematik hier deutlich mehr genagt haben 😣 Positiv ist jedoch, dass sie nicht weiter abgebaut, sondern lediglich kurz pausiert hat und jetzt gefühlt dort weitermacht, wo sie aufgehört hat =) Sie stackt auch wieder etwas =D Guzzlerz hat ja von Anfang an zu kämpfen gehabt, und ich habe das Gefühl, dass ihr genau das jetzt zugutekommt =D Sie entwickelt sich konstant weiter und hat sogar unter den Bedingungen der letzten Woche noch etwas an Masse aufgebaut. Sie hat einen angenehmen, süßlichen, flachen Duft 🍯 fast karamellartig, finde ich =) ⚙️ System Jetzt wieder Top-up-Logik weiterfahren =) VPD: 1,20 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm im Durchschnitt 🌫️ EC: 1.500–1.600 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 µmol/m²/s Vielen Dank mal wieder für eure Zeit 🙏 =) Schöne Woche euch und gesunde Plants 🌱💚
