Week 6 – Day 44 (BT20) RedPure#4 is holding steady at 40 cm – vertical growth has stopped, but the buds are visibly swelling 🍇 Her purple fade is getting stronger 💜 and the aroma is becoming more noticeable and pleasant 👃 She’s currently on 50% of the feeding schedule, which results in EC 0.9. ⚠️ With Advanced Nutrients, I let the solution rest for 20 minutes before measuring – otherwise the EC reading is inaccurate. Before resting: EC 1.7 → After resting: EC 0.9 This happens because A+B nutrients bind slowly at low dosages. 💡 I also remeasured the Fluxshield LED, which lights RedPure exclusively. It seems to have lost some intensity over time, so I increased the dimmer by one step to match the original PPFD levels. All in all, she's developing nicely and stays compact – true to her autoflower nature 🌿

Welcome to my Fast Buds sponsored shootout and living organic soil v coco side by side. I also plan to use this grow to my full advantage regarding a few age old nagging questions about methods. I have had a keen interest in L.O.S ( supersoil) since reading a few threads a while back on how amazing and productive it can be. After too much research and procrastinating I had to give it a go. I have been a decades coco/nft grower and recently threw my hat in the rdwc ring too. I have avoided soil due to the overwatering worry ( heavy handed chimp brain !) and the best potting soil/feeds. Catching up on the advances in indoor soil gardening and organics led me too subcools supersoil recipes to name a few but being a town dweller with farms everywhere around me still drew blanks on a lot of the ingredients needed and where the hell I could even begin to get them from. Thankfully , commercial savvy has now made buying it in ready to use and with a full range of beneficial bacteria ect available in amendments from a grow shop here in the uk. ecothrive have realised the potential for us to dive into this medium with all the mixing , measuring and resourcing. I bit the bullet and £150 later I now have 4 x37Litre pots that will be used for as long as I want to feed the soil for without EVER needing nutrients again potentially. The coco has also had charge mixed in to encourage the bennies to colonize there too. I will be using the shogun nutes that I know do the business with coco to compare with for yield , growth and taste. I have 3 seeds each of 4 Fast Buds Strains to use as a control for the grow and am journaling each strain in their own diaries. This statement will be used to start each one as the information is identical at this point but following this I will do them individually. I am now starting their second week since opening the seed packets , straight into soaked and shook root riot cubes and into the heated propagator. They had all showed their heads by end of day 3 and a couple needed helmet surgery to open up without being hindered . I have has them in the prop for a few days but they needed to get settled as they were popping roots out all over the cubes. They have now been in their final pots for 2 days complete and starting their 3rd today at day 8 since planting in cubes. I am impressed with the speed and success of these girls already (12 of 13 germinated) . Well done fast buds. So here we go folks , any comments , ideas ,questions , advice are always welcome and I hope we can have some fun experimenting with defol v non defol , topping v fimming v bending and any other curiosities along the way. I plan on using a quadline for them all to keep a control for the comparisons too. Be green folks Welcome aboard and a huge thank you to Fast Buds for the opportunity to try autos.

Wow! So I have reached the end of this journey with 4 wonderful ladies 🚺 ❤️ 💕.. This was the easiest grow of my life lol! And she packed on size and stinky aromas everywhere.. Big shout out to the Kannabia Team!!!! Excellent strain, amazing colors, fat Colas, everything that makes you smile during harvest! Thick Frost coating.. Also big shout out to everyone that has been keeping an eye on this diary..Much love from my heart grow community ♥️ Perfecto 😀😃🌿🌿

I didn't bother updating the diary last week as there was nothing going on really, just finished the 1st week of flushing and another week till harvest. Only big change going on is the hps and little viparspectra LEDs have been taken out and replaced by 2x invisible sun ISH265 quantum boards.

Stopped keeping track of everything and just let it do its thing Dec 6 Dec 9

35 days...

Blasted a small amount just to see ...💎 Started to chop at 8 weeks I'm on plant 9 of 19.... 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊 😈

The situation is getting interesting, flowering is coming in the final part for our Green Crack F1 Hybrid Auto. First of all, we have another plant that is growing straight, you can see it in the photos in the Zamnesia pot that is doing very very well. It is behind in flowering compared to this one because it was planted later but it drinks two liters a day, it has huge sunbathing leaves, and it is starting to flower. The plant worked with the main lining shows a typical characteristic according to my experience of the F1 Hybrid: these plants have a very fast flowering so they start to mature a little earlier in the sense that they put out flowers the red pistils while the flower is still swelling, it happened to me with all of them, I think even with the RQS ones in the past. From the observation of all the F1s I can notice that you can see some red and the flowers do not seem very big but after a while they reach a nice size. This one is in the swelling phase and in these days it is starting to change color from the top. Very beautiful, I hope they swell the buds properly and it will be perfect. The shape is very very beautiful as is the structure of this plant indeed. We are still using soil, fertilizers and all the additives recommended by Plagron 100% organic. With her We have switched to the late flowering program that wants the additives Sugar Royal, Pure Zym for another week and adds the flowering stimulant Power Buds and the myth Green Sensation. Obviously the basic fertilizer is now Alga Bloom. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilization program based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10677-zamnesia-seeds-green-crack-f1-automatic.html Zamnesia Description // Forget what you think you know about cannabis.

The Amnesia haze 2 is turning light green yellowish some told me it could be deficiency or it could be just flowering taking energy from the leaves but I’m not sure I used Gaia green bloom recently thinking it would help I’m going to too water that haze from here out the other have and sour I’m going to continue to bottom feed I took some trichome pics I don’t think there ready yet but I think I’m getting close to the date I feel the the amnesia haze 2 is going to hit 90+ days tho kind of hope not cause the other haze and sour are probably going be done sooner I want to fry them all at the same time March 7th I think the haze #2 and Sour d is ready but the other Haze is not I’m pretty sure I have another week pre maybe even two for it to be near ready I need the tent to harvest and dry what’s ready I’m going try leave the ready ones in for another week in hope it doesn’t mess them up

Cherry Poppers 🍒 Flower Week 1

46.day

Our Monster Dwarf Automatic #2 is the most resin-producing monster of this autoflowering season, bursting with energy from every stomata, trichome, and the fantastic microcosm I photographed for you. The buds are firm, truly of high quality, especially in terms of resin. Maturity - The resin content is excellent. The trichomes are amber, with some very beautiful red heads when ripe (about 60%), with some white/cloudy ones (20%), and a few transparent ones (20%). There are quite a few beautiful red-headed trichomes, as mentioned. The pistils are almost all red (about 85%). Remember, the plant should be harvested according to your tastes. Since it's an indica-dominant plant, I want to make the most of the relaxing side, and I let this plant mature quite a bit longer than usual for me. Remember: Amber is a sign of THC oxidation, so don't overdo it! The overall shape of the plant is truly splendid. Techniques chosen: As mentioned, we performed a not-too-intensive LST here, followed by just pruning, lollipopping, and defoliation. Essentially, we cleaned the lower parts, which, as mentioned, helps us achieve better results on the surface. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to start with smoother and more reliable watering, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week's worth of soil is sufficient, so don't overdo it. Choose your preferred style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Visit the new Growshop area on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop A fantastic strain, a heavenly scent, above-average resin production! Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/4330-zamnesia-monster-dwarf-auto-feminized-seeds.html Z - Monster Dwarf Auto is a new addition to the Zamnesia range. Extremely compact, it's the size of a bonsai tree. This autoflowering strain boasts numerous qualities. To create this hybrid, Zamnesia combined some of the best autoflowering strains with an exceptional Skunk female, preserving all of its autoflowering characteristics. Its name should already give you an idea of ​​what to expect from this plant. Monster Dwarf Auto is small and mighty! It maintains a very compact structure, never exceeding 40-60 cm in height, proudly displaying a large quantity of compact, elongated buds towards the end of flowering. This strain is suitable for small grow spaces. It performs equally well in larger grows, both indoors and outdoors, and requires no special growing skills to achieve excellent results in about 8-9 weeks. Given its autoflowering nature, even less experienced growers can easily achieve excellent yields of 60 grams per plant, without requiring any special attention. Thanks to its Skunk genetics, it's no surprise that Monster Dwarf Auto is capable of releasing very intense aromas and developing beautiful, compact buds completely covered in resin. Its Skunk lineage is also evident when smoking it: the effects are worthy of an incredible Skunk hybrid, full-bodied and very relaxing, yet capable of keeping you sociable without being excessively heavy. Monster Dwarf Auto is a small, fast, and easy-to-grow plant. Despite its small size, it stands out from other autoflowering cannabis strains! You know it, but I recommend it. Here you will find many wonderful things, essentially "the best that nature has to offer." Z - www.zamnesia.com Music // www.radionula.com + Feng Shui Music + 432 Hz Frequencies

A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. It's a secret. Ancient biochar-rich soils in the Amazon basin (known as Terra Preta) provide evidence of carbon stability lasting over 500 to 2,000+ years. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what I give mine. Can even add N in its NH4+ form

This one my favourite plants to ever grow , she is producing loads of pistols everyday and producing colours change in the them, very stinky smell recommended this strain to every one

En la 4ta semana aumentamos la dosis del fertilizante para crecimiento, regulamos su p.h en 6.0 e hicimos una poda apical en el 4to nodo de cada una de las plantas.

Good plant overall, wish it was a bigger plant because bud structure is very nice Had a little bit of spider mites but took care of it quickly, overall handled the heat very well and this one had no bud rot Will run this stain again since I have some more seeds, hoping for a bigger phenotype next time :)

2/12: I moved the Platonium, both Sucrose Overdose, and the last Muscadine Wine into the dark. The Velvet Sugah Bref, GG4, and Berry Bomb are the last plants from this diary, and they are just getting water and Liquidsoil. They are all in the closet now and getting blasted with extremely cold winter air and intense UVB for their last week. 2/13: I harvested the Platonium, both Sucrose Overdose, and the last Muscadine Wine tonight. Sexy sexy bitches...ooh la la! Not embarrassed to say that I got major wood while giving them a bath...😜

week 13 went smooth

Day 63 This should be the last week in veg. It might be a partial week...I'll make the call in a few days. I'm excited to see these babes flower!!! Day 64: Last day of VEG! I set the timer to 12/12 and lower the lights to 18". These babes are ready to switch, based on my past experience. I hope they don't shoot too much in the next couple of weeks! Flower time is here at last! Day 65: I tore part of a main top branch today and immediately put clonex gel and used some clear packing tape to secure it back together. I think it will be ok. I sure hope so! It's pretty much the biggest top of the plant. I don't know if the potassium silicate treatment is making the stalks too strong, but I only tried to tuck it into the next hole of the screen. Oh well, time will tell. Fed transistion week 1 nutes today. Day 67: The branch survived! The plants are stretching nicely and I expect to run out of room on the screen at the outer edges. Day 69: The canopy is so FULL! I'm amazed at how healthy they are and how many bud sites are filling up the screen!
