🏆The First Grow Cup Diary🏆 _____📅 Week 18 | 📅 Day 121 - 127 | 10.05 - 16.05 ______ last Days 🔸Everything looks great so far, I'm very happy with the look of the plants, they could have been a bit thicker buds, but I can't complain about the lights hehe.They all smell about the same but all look different in terms of bud shape. I'm curious to see how they will taste. 😍 🔸the last two times she was watered she only got tap water, I think for Runtz#3 it was too dry and too much light in the end, I haven't really checked and measured it for the last 2 weeks. I also let them dry out almost completely the last 2 times, Runtz 1 and 2 coped better. Doesn't look nice, of course, but shouldn't have any negative effects. 🔸I had invited friends for trimming and still had to take pictures...well they weren't helpful in any case haha :D:D But they did an excellent job with the trimming and help a lot 😇 🔸Harvest is complete and I will update my harvest report as soon as everything is dry __________________________________________________________________ 🌡️🔆= 25-26° 🌡️🌜= 18-19° 💨 Hum. = 50-55% 🔦 PPFD = 1000 umol 12/12 🔦⌚DLI = ~43 ___________________________________________________________________ Equipment: flowering 💡2 x 200 Watt Cosmos LED 💡2 x Glow80 Spider-Farmer (4x40Watt) 💡1 x SF-600 Spider-Farmer 💨 3 x Oscillating Clip Ventilator running 24/7 ⛺120 x 120 x 200 Tent (4 x 4 x 8) 🍯 18 liter pots

The plant is beautiful but she will give a poor harvest, smell is citrus and pungent like the GG4 usually is with gassy notes 🔥 I look forward to smoke it and hope one day to have the Exotic Genetics seeds to grow 💚

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. 👀👀👀👀👀👀 Observations and changes 👀👀👀👀👀👀 27.10.25 VW27 noticed some min burnt tips so I decreased Calcium Nitrate 45 to → 40g, decided to add two more elements micros and Epsom salts just to make sure they got everything, Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g, Epsom salts: 8 g 28.10.25 VW27 she seems devoid of any deficiencies, seems ready for the flip to 12/12 02.11.25 VW27 girl is looking good so I decided to stop making daily videos and do a standard once a week update. 09.11.25 aVW28 7 days since flip,stretch in full swing, first pistils showing, leaf color deep and healthy.

Läuft soweit... EC langsam gesteigert 0.7 - 1.0 Zuerst runter auf 0.1 - 0.2 mit dest. Wasser dann mit calmag hoch auf 0.4 - 0.5 Dann mit 0.5 ml allinone und Startboost (ca 4 Tropfen per Liter auf gewünschten EC Wert hoch zus. 2-3 Tropfen Regulator Zur Zeit 0.8 ml/l Allinone und rest wie beschrieben ergibt EC 1.0 (ca. ab Tag 12 nach Keimung) Toppen muss ich auch Bald😬...Zelt ist nur 70x70x160 SF1000 auf 100% Anfang 2er Veg Woche ca. 74 cm Abstand...ca. 350 Mikromol

I had two sprouts in the pot. I will focus on the middle one for the majority of the grow. It had slow growth in terms of height by the end of week two. However, the first set of 3 fingered leaves had come in.

Week 3 of flower has brought some frost along with it. It has also seen the stretching slow right down so she should really go into bud production mode now. I top dressed with some of my high N amendment mix and my flower mix at a 50/50 ratio as she was looking a little pale so I figured a little more N was needed to keep her happy. Plus the flowering mix to side in bud production. I have upped waterings to 17-20 gallons every 2-3 days and she seems to be enjoying a little extra water. I have been spraying her with OMRI fungicides and I haven’t seen any powdery mildew this week 😎 Onward! 😎🍿🍻🌱

After vegging the plants for a few weeks I transplanted them to the flowering tent. They will stay in veg a maximum of 1 more week and then I will switch them in to flower. I also added worms to the soil to keep it nice and airy and have a as natural grow as possible.

This week was good, she grow nice, but very slow...have a nice week✌️✌️

Back left plant is a bit lighter compared to the others. Gonna continue defoiling n chopping sucker buds for the rest of this week n probably leave em alone after week 3 commences.

*Early Flower 09/10* (2) Fastbuds - Mimosa Cake Auto Aggressive LST was applied for even light coverage. Smaller-Lagging budsites and bigger fan leaves under net have been removed. Slight increase in nutrient feeds, thus far 0 signals of deficiencies. *Mid week update - 09/13* Both plants have grown approximately 6 inches in height Early flowering continuing to progress accordingly Half a gallon increase in water feed (Nutes included) *End of week recap 09/16* Mimosa Cake (Auto) - Both in week flowering accordingly Small increase on nute feeds - Moderate increase in filtered plain water feed (1.5 gallons ) *SEE END OF WEEK RECAP VIDEO*

December 21st: 2.5ml Armour Si, 1ml CalMag, 5ml FloraMicro, 1ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 1ml Floralicious Plus, 1ml Rapid Start, both plants got .75gal pH to 6.8, 650ppm December 26th: 2.5ml Armour Si, 1ml CalMag, 6ml FloraMicro, 1ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 1ml Floalicious Plus, 1ml Rapid Start, 1/2tsp Recharge. Both plants got just under 1gal each, pH to 6.6, 850ppm, watered until runoff, RUNOFF: 2300ppm, 6,0pH. I did a defoliation today as well. Also, i will be flipping these girls into flower on Monday December 30th. That is the actual day my 7th week starts I'm starting to mess around with video editing as well so hopefully in the future i can give you guys some cool videos.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de floración de estas Gorilla cookies Auto de FastBuds. Por el momento todo va bien tienen buen color, van ahí formándose esas flores y empezando a tricotar guay. Alimentamos nuestras plantas con Agrobeta. Por supuesto el ph se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2 y riego en intervalos de 48h. La temperatura está entorno al 22/24 grados y la humedad anda sobre el 50%. Las plantas en si ya están bien sanas, tutore la rama principal para que no se fuese de madre, y así controlaré la altura.

Mar 24: Watering till runoff now... runoff ppm was 2500+... Will be using very mild nutes to flush over 1 - 3 feeds... or until I am near my input. Mar 26: Continuing to use 650ppm feed with bloom focus, 2L per plant gives 15% runoff... Runoff ppm is still very high... I wanted to check pH of runoff but the color is so vibrant i cant use the pH drops to view color, need to get a pH probe. Plants are thriving, no issues at all. the extra fan fixed the post-water droop. One plant is bushy and has the most bud sites, One is the smallest but has the most uniform structure, this one has the biggest buds and thickest stalk, One is about in the middle of the 2. Mar 29: one of these girls gets droopy early when its time for water, thought the canopy was too high so i tied down some more, no cigar... gonna try increasing calmag, if that doesent work im going to reposition in the grow box to a side instead of middle, may not need the upper end ppfd...

Quarter Pounder and Skywalker are probably over due for final flushing. Squanch Queen is doing very well and looking to go 9 to 10 weeks. King tut and Alien Technology doing well. However, i did a spray of insecticidal soap due to seeing a couple small holes in a few king tut leaves. Next day plant was shocked and lost tons of leaves to burn. This plant did this once before with the same spray, the others no problem and didnt connect the two til now. Will let her veg back to health and flip to flower once shes healthy again and the autos are done.

Endspurt . Es wurde ein letztes Mal gegossen und nun wird das Gießen eingestellt .Die Trichos sind schon sehr milchig aber der Bernstein lässt noch auf sich warten

Day 85 23/09/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 and calmag today. Day 87 25/09/24 Wednesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Day 89 27/09/24 Friday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with Plagron PK13-14 today. Picture and video update 😎 Day 91 29/09/24 Sunday (End of week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Will try get another nutrient week out of her before flush 👌💚

Green sensation made its effect and now we can see some resin dropped in the flowers. They have also gained some weight and size. The plants keeps looking good and healthy at the moment.
