After 4 days of heavy rain, the first mold appeared... So I spent about 18 hours searching for plants and picking out mold with tweezers After last year's experience with another seed bank, I expected the plants to be very affected by mold, but I have to say that Fast Buds genetics coped very well! Mold appear mainly on blisters to which the stem of the leaf leads water, which then collects between the stem and the blister I trimmed the plants more so that the air flows better and that water does not stick to them The plants look healthy and the flowers are gaining strength Especially the dark purple phenotypes look very dense and hard. it also looks very resistant to mold Very pleasant sweet fruity scent I haven't seen my children for 3 days, it's raining extremely ... the last time I was chased out by swarms of ants in the early evening, I've never experienced this before, there were maybe a million of them and they sat on me and on the plants I'm finally going to visit them tomorrow, I expect I'll have a lot of work to do with mold and I hope the swarms of ants haven't harmed them in any way

Maybe one of the biggest autoflowers in soil? Thanks to Fast Buds for this experience. I think all the love I gave to her really paid out :D Thanks for following the diary, happy growing ✊

For LIQUIDS & NUTES ******GREEN BUZZ NUTRIENTS***** organic. Also i’m using their LIVING SOIL CULTURE in powder form! MARSHYDRO ⛺️ has large openings on the sides which is useful for mid section groom room work. 🤩 ☀️ MARSHYDRO FC 3000 LED 300W 💨MARSHYDRO 6” in-line EXTRACTOR with speed-variation knob, comes complete with ducting and carbon filter.

Got the Spider Farmer wicking system set up with a reservoir. Up until now I’ve been using purchased pure water since it came with a better starting pH than my tap. After running the numbers, the cost of hauling jugs didn’t make sense long term. I ended up grabbing an RV water inline filter for the garden hose, which strips out most of the chlorine and other contaminants I was worried about. Goal was mostly a stable water source because the girls are getting thirsty; I still prefer hand-watering to wet and activate the top dress. Access is only from one side of the 5×5, so as they bulk up I’m learning the back two are a chore to reach. The wicking pads help keep things even between rounds, but I’m still going in by hand to finish the job. Did a defoliation pass; airflow and light paths improved, but I may need to push it a bit further because I don’t want a lot of larf. Crazy how much plant material I pulled off but they seem fine. Light feels like the current yield limiter. The SF4000 is solid but a touch undersized for full 5×5 penetration, the lower canopy isn’t getting what I want. I’m eyeing a higher-wattage bar style light for better edge uniformity and deeper PAR at canopy. I’ve been testing edge light saturation with the SpiderF PPFD sensor at canopy height. Center readings are strong but the corners and long edges are clearly lacking. Smaller tent or smaller plants another option maybe. Im at 100% on my light and will be for the rest of the grow just raising it to keep distance. Plants look happy overall. The Durban Cookies is standing out, taller and more vigorous than the 10th Planets especially for being a week younger than the rest. I am guessing it will be harvested first just by stretch speed alone. The 10th Planets R1s all have a pretty even canopy going but showing stretch. Wicking system + hand-water combo is keeping the media right where I want it, and the top dress from last week is kicking in. Reminding everyone this is my first grow. Hoping for a pound dry, but I won’t be greedy. Keeping my expectations realistic! Thanks for following along.

So this week it was time for the girls to get a hair cut. (Defoliation) Took all bottom leaves and lower stems off. At the end of this week it time to put them in 24hr of darkness then for the flip to flower stage 🙌 Throughout my veg stage I have had no problems or deficiencies With the plant at this moment in time green house feed is working wonders, they may have converted me to there range of feed but only time will tell. 9L per plant of water with enhancer 27G

Flower

5th week of flower, the plant has stopped growing and focused on the buds. Both plants look nice, I’m hoping the 3 gallon plant gets fatter before the end though.

Week 5 of flower Everything seems fine,so far Looking healthy Another 3 weeks to go Stay Safe everyone!

Day 36 flower had ph drop to 5.2 fix back to 6.2-6.4 looking good happy finally geting some dryer days now to so my humidity is dropping down Day 37 switch out the dense nut and added reg nuts sad this will be the last feed the girl gets In 12 days all do the dense again Day 41 plant is drinking and eating good again all is looking good in the room moved some brunches around to get more spacing ppm 400 ph 6.4

Hey guys they are both happy, didn't stretch much because I stressed her at the beginning of the week with lolipoping and some little lst together with change of nutritions but all good expecting some stretch in this week and let's see how she will go 💪

Ok so I’m not afraid to say 7.7oz shocked me on the wet weight, I had a goal of 1oz dry being a first time grower, factoring mistakes, this and that so I guess we’ll see if what comes as I read up to 75% in weight can be lost in drying and curing….so fingers crossed I hit my goal 🤞 I harvested based on the 1st photo, I cut a small piece of bud off the main cola at the bottom to really check it under a scope and saw red headed trichomes, so checked the lowest flower and had the same results (photo 1), this was after I’d asked a question earlier based on a photo I took on a leaf and was advised to check the buds instead…so thanks for that info there 👍 Also a big thanks for the comments the looks at this diary. Really looking forward to the next couple of weeks and seeing how the rest of this little venture pans out…I guess we just have to stay tuned😊🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 12 Oct 2021: Harvested 16 Oct 2021: Plant seemed completely dry today which surprised me a little so I snapped stems and yus sir they were ready to be trimmed down….icky sticky, earthy, diesel, piney smells were the hints that were hitting me as I was trimming away, I have a lot of airy buds, which is on me! As a First time grower, until I actually got growing and started to understand the complexity and importance of keeping cannabis growing in stable conditions with par values on lights, feed schedules, trying to keep negative pressure in the tent with passive intake vents, adding lights, humidifier, dehumidifier, more fans…a learning experience indeed and not one I’ll be shying away from. Anyway there’s me blabbing on…..dry weight time 👀 38g/1.3oz and roughly 13g trim so I am extremely happy that even though I’ll probably lose about 8% of this during the cure, I think I made my 1oz goal of smokeable bud 🤘😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 A smoke report is due in 4 weeks when it’s had a bit of time to do what it needs to do!

Start week 3 for seed bearing plants week 4 for the Pollen Donor she full of BALL’s rinced the STS spray bottle out with water gave her last watered down spritz there about to open any day I got a pollen screen to seperat my flower room Structure on the SVF sure reminds me of AfGoo or Mazar!! Think we have signs of Pollination some pistols top 1/3 starting to shrink back Looking so dam good!! All Kind of pollen and she barley started!! SFV looks so much like a Affgoo

To say that this automatic Zookies is very tall is an understatement. It is a monster of about 160 cm, I say about because it has grown so much that it has pushed against the roof of the growbox exceeding the light. Lots and lots of weed guys. ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per variety, one worked with specific techniques and the other left to grow freely and splendidly to preserve its speed and the classic Christmas tree shape in height. Description // This plant immediately put the turbo on, it started and wanted to become big, very big. Little by little after an excellent vegetative period in the first two weeks of flowering I noticed its monster attitude. And off it grew, I prayed but it grew, I invoked mother nature but it grew: I soon realized that nothing supernatural would have worked. Unfortunately I had all my lights busy so this time I was unable to illuminate the main cola well with an undercanopy or by mounting a normal light on the side and I find the main cola a little less mature than the rest of the plant because it hasn't received direct light. But the plant is huge and I can get over it, we are again, as often happens now, around and I think quite over 100 grams which for an autoflowering in an 11-liter pot is awesome. Trichomes and maturation // We performed a careful analysis under the 10x microscope (and 10x x 1.6) and we noticed a good percentage of milky/clumpy trichomes, the percentage of amber ones was also excellent and still something transparent but that's fine with us. Fertilizers and soil // We used the Plagron range of organic fertilizers the whole time, all the recommended additives and the Pro Mix soil, both unfertilized and organic. Calculate the dosage according to your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ The fertilizers are available in convenient packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html One of the top strains of recent years, with a very high THC level ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11174-zamnesia-zookies-auto-semi.html Zamnesia Brief Description // A cross between Animal Cookies, GG#4 and ruderalis, this compact strain produces high-quality buds, while retaining all the charm of a modern US hybrid.

Here we are. Week 2. On the Day 8 video, I give my method on how I produce nearly zero larf and huge buds. It's easier than most think 😉
