Looking forward to trying this strain. I've got the Fastbuds Gelato in there too and I've loved the way she's grown. Germinated about a week ago in a pre planted root cube. The pot is a 3ltr and I'm thinking about transplanting (see questions) 😕 medium is a mix of coco, worm castings, bat guano, perlite and Ecothrive charge. Watered in with Ecothrive biosys tea, seaweed and root juice to get those microbes going. Just wetting with a few drops once its starting to dry, being careful not to over water. Think she's gonna be a big girl. 😍 Much love The Mac

Autos are a funny plant. They don't like any stress a prefer to sown into their forever pot. If you feel you need to put them into larger pots then do so carefully. Keeping any light away from the roots. Sprinkle some beneficial bacteria in the root zone to promote new growth and give her time to recover. I hope this help, good luck and happy growing

Moving into week two of veg and she seems really happy. Leaves praying up and starting to produce rich, green foliage. Introduced a little Canna Tera Vega this week, so ill wait and see how she reacts before giving anymore. I'm keeping up with the microbial health in the soil by continuing to give a little honey, seaweed and BIOBIZZ Root Juice with each watering. Expecting to see good growth this week. UPDATE 18/5 - CANNA Tera Vega in low dose seems to have been appreciated. Will feed the soil with a Biosys tea only (no nutes) when dry. QUESTION - DO I RE-POT NEXT WEEK? The Mac 😎

Strong growth this week. She's flying high at the moment. Seems to have reacted really well to the little nutrients I've given her. Introduced a bit of coconut water and stopped the honey. Only fed once this week, otherwise she's just had a Biosys tea or water. Starting to develop some side branches now. Maybe do some LST or HST in a couple of days, but really I might just let her grow and do her thing and see how she turns out. Anyway I've decided to keep her in the small pot and not risk transplanting. UPDATE - Early signs of flowering. Bent her up in a little LST and less than 24 hours later she recovered and the lower branches have developed. She wont be a big girl unfortunately, not with my choice of pot. Shame I only had the one seed. The Mac 😎

I carried on with a little more LST on the main top this week and each time she bounces straight back. Decided to give her some nutrients direct, in the form of CANNA Vega and CALMAG as in the small pot I'm expecting the deficiencies to hit soon. Will give plain water on the next feed and then a tea of mealworm shit, bat shit, worm shit, coconut water, Biosys and black molasses. I may try to LST some other branches depending on how she grows out this week. I'm seeing some stretch as she goes into flower, nice bud sites, and I think in a week or so there will be signs of purple, as there are one or two dark calyxes forming now! The Mac 😎

Flowers are developing now with signs of the purple calyxes popping through. Deficiencies in lower leaves due to small pot. Feeding nutes little and often as I don't want to burn or cause lockout. Will top dress with some worm casts and bat guano and water in with a tea on next feed. The Mac 😎

This girl is looking beautiful as she flowers. The buds and leaves are turning a rich purple and are sticky with a thick layer of frost already!! Temperature has been up this week through no fault of my own, which has caused humidity issues. My little dehumidifier cant hack it and i haven't got a couple hundred spare 😒 Coping just about with the tent open in the day and the fans on full. Handling the nutrients well I think. I'm doing a feed then water with some microbes. Think i may still give her a little more calmag. What do you think? I'm struggling to get any pictures in decent light, so they will have to do I'm afraid. The Mac😎

This lady has a fine candied fruit aroma and is producing amazing, bright purple calyxes covered with frost. She doesn't smell or look like your average plant. I've scaled back on nutes this week, feeding only once. She's drinking every 3 days or so. I want her to get hungry and ill give her a tiny drop of PK 13/14 this following week. Damn climate change. I've got optimal conditions one day and 75% humidity the next. Thinking about what to do with this girl. The tent is ready to flip to a 12/12 for my photos. I have a Sansi 24wt led grow bulb. Should I put her under that or keep her in the tent and see how she handles the flip?? The Mac 😎

Missed last weeks diary due to other pot head business. Not that anyone gives a shite 😆 Gave her one last feed. made a tea with the ingredients listed above. Marine Phytoplankton 😳 Fuck... WOW... Shit!!! Ill start to flush her out now. Terp profile is showing through. Smells very sweet and candy like, good enough to eat, and the photos don't do her prettiness justice. My girlfriend loves her, this plant turns heads and im thinking of running a larger crop in big pots, so i can see this strain at her full potential. I'm falling in love 😍 The Mac 😎 P.S - FOOTBALLS COMING HOME!!!!

Into the last 7 - 10 days before harvest and starting to flush through. Buds are darkening up, still swelling up nice, and getting even more frosty. The terp profile is switching from sweet candy lemons to outright dank sour fruit. Will certainly hope to give this girl the proper dry and cure she deserves. UPDATE - New dehumidifier installed and down to a more manageable RH of 55% in the room The Mac 😎

Chopped her after a week of flushing. Most pistols brown and curled back and mostly cloudy, with a few Amber trichomes. I would of let her go another couple of days but we have a heatwave plus the landlord has dropped a supprise gas service. Gonna let her dry some more and get her jarred up. The smell is earthy, citrus and pine. Not a huge yield but exceptional looking bud, with a fantastic aroma. Even before the cure. Harvest review to follow. The Mac 😎

Happy Harvest Day!

Beautiful bold colour, with serious bag and nose appeal. Tastes of sweet fruit, citrus and earth similar to the aroma in the inhale, with a deep skunkyness on the exhale. Certainly an indicia that leaves the body and mind comfortably relaxed. Great for anxiety, depression and insomnia. A beautiful strain suitable for mornining, evening, medicinal or recreational smoking. The Mac 😎

Very pretty strain that grew problem free. Flowered very early which reduced her overall size and yield. Will definitely grow again in larger pot.

Looks great mate! Still has that purple pheno that mine had, but the bud structure looks much better. I ended up with very leafy/larfy buds, probably the worst of my lot in terms of density, but still great smoke.

Grandad_Maccommented4 years ago
@Green_Island_Mad_Scientist, cheers mate, bud structure would've been better had I got my RH under control a little earlier. But in terms of terps and frost she's un-real!
