10/24 there’s been an awakening, in my happy place. Have you felt it? Got my 1st Seedsman order of Fast Buds Gorilla cookies auto. I kept seeing that big cool looking ad and I have to try it. I’m going prepare my 3 gallon pots with Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Very excited!!!! I prepared the soil using advanced nutrients Connoisseur grow 1mL. I also used piranha tarantula and voodoo juice and carbo load liquid 2mL and planted the seed directly in the soil👍 10/28 she sprouted today before noon.👍 5 hours later she is perfect 🤩 10/29👍 10/30 Great week!! Ordered Fast Buds from Seedsman on 17th got my order Monday morning of the 24th, planted the same day & sprouted 4 days later she look perfect 😍

10/31 Monday I mixed up my nutrient solution in 2 L and carefully watered the edge of the pot not quite to the circle I left for the seedling, and then I sprayed a little water in the center area. 11/4 2L water 1ml/L Connoisseur grow, no additives. She looks great.

11/7 so far she looks great. The leaves look healthy. It’s one of the healthiest seeds I’ve had in a long time it looks like she’s going to be great. 11/12 she’s looking good. I may top her today or tomorrow then wait a week and I’ll take the bottom two branches and I’ll end up with a four cola plant. The smaller, ancillary set of branches, there will be 4 of them from the bottom, three from the topped 2 branches. I take those off about a week or 2 before harvest for samples. They are larf anyway. I end up with a four cola grow like the one next to it, but hopefully it won’t grow as freakishly tall that was a gorilla glue auto flower 11/13 I will be topping her today. I am also going to be spending more time with advanced nutrients flawless finish product. I have noticed that all the flowers tend to keep growing because of the amount of nutrients that I use and I use a lot of them after flushing .I am finding that a cooling off period of two weeks using advanced, nutrients flawless finish is providing me with a lot more growth toward the end of the lifecycle than I thought. I will probably extend another week. I all the information I’ve read on Flushing seems rather pointless. I am finding that a slow removal of nutrients using flawless finish is like very slowly cooling a hot root mass down before harvest. There’s so much energy and nutrients left in the plant & root mass system, I would like the her to use it up as long as I am seeing a great deal of new growth and new resin production. I should get one more week, but if I go too long, then the plant begins to turn brown. I hope I see it on the gorilla cookies as well. In the past I haven’t paid enough attention to the last two weeks of the auto flower life cycle.

11/21 I did half strength nutrients and half strength additives. I’ve been using a lot. & I noticed a little stress, so I’m doing half strength nutrients & raised light. I’ll do a flush with just water end of this week and start the bloom nutrients next Monday. Going to try the non-auto flower version of this plant. Auto flowers are fast, easy & nice because she can go from seed to bong in 6 weeks if necessary but I can fit three plants of properly topped photos in the same space & get a lot more. Seed to bong in just 6 weeks!!👨‍🌾That sounds like a great ad. 11/20 she looks really good. She’s growing much better than the other other flowers that I used to use from a different company. I stopped using them. I’m not gonna badmouth a different company but this is much better. I want to try a few more of the Fast Bud auto flowers so far I’m really happy with the results. 11/23 Flowers 💐& tiny diamonds 💎 forming. This is going great, I'm going to start another one today. 11/25 I noticed a huge problem with advanced nutrients B – 52. There were large chunks that formed in my nutrient solution. When I added B-52 I’ve had it before, but it didn’t happen all the time so I’ve decided to throw away the B-52 and not use it anymore. I don’t know what happened. I mixed Carbo load, then bud candy, bud factor X and rhino skin. Then when I added the B-52, the giant chunks formed it was pretty bad. At least I figured out that B-52 was the culprit. Correction I thought it was but the next day I tried something else, got the same results I mixed up the nutrients without the B 52 and without Carbo load. It might’ve been the two sugars that bud factor X tells you to mix thoroughly before adding... either way I’m not going to use B 52 again. I found info from a few years ago, the old bottle sounded like rocks at the bottom, and it formed an instant giant gross jellyfish blob in the water! so I threw it away. Started over, mixed up a new gallon to test, no blobs, everything’s fine now. The B-52 was old, and maybe it was also the Bud Factor X added 1st to the water then Carboload & Bud Candy that caused it, very gross and could not have been good for my plants.. 11/26 Bud Factor X that is the most expensive liter of nutrient that I have purchased and it causes a congealing of other nutrients it looks like a jellyfish inside my nutrient container. I had to buy a new half liter of Connoisseur Bloom, nutrients just to make sure the liter that I bought wasn’t bad. If I had known, then what I know now I would never have invested in advanced goddamn nutrients. I’m running into the same problem there seems to be a problem using bud factor X and Carbo load or bud candy. It creates a heavy sludge and you have to throw away the whole nutrient mix. I’m not saying advanced nutrients is bad but using 100 dollar bottle of nutrient, along with a seven dollar bottle of nutrient will destroy all of your nutrients I am very unhappy with these people right now. I noticed that it caused a congealing slime when I added it with the connoisseur line of nutrients it reacts with the darker color one. Now I have also had to throw away my connoisseur nutrients because I think they’re expired or contaminated garbage and I bought a new half liter of Connoisseur Bloom on Amazon. I’m running into a lot of trouble and I’ve spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on advanced nutrients. I think it’s a big mistake so once again I learned a valuable lesson you cannot trust any of these companies Now I have to find a new line a new line of nutrients I suggest you never purchase Carboload that will destroy everything. It’s like a thick sugar sludge, and the Connoisseur line of Advanced nutrients they just form a sludge as well when mixed with Bud Factor X, the MOST expensive product they have, which I can tell you, I have seen ZERO benefit, probably because all the other nutrients are locked out when these are mixed together. Connoisseur with Carboload, Bud Candy, B-52 & Bud Factor X have given me the large disgusting solid jellyfish looking clot of very expensive nutrients to throw away, or they will damage the plants....... I feel like I got ripped off… great marketing now and I’ve done research and people complaining about the same things for years. Nothing changes... I got taken for a ride... good to know I’m going to use up the nutrients that I have, and then finish throwing away another 300 worth of bad nutrients.... and I’m gonna try some thing else I just ordered BioBizz, grow and bloom. I will use both following their feeding chart. No additives, nothing else. First a flush with 2 gal ph balanced water, then the last 2 liters will be the BioBz mixed 1/2 strength.

11/28 Mixed a gallon at half strength and did lots of runoff, still have ppm at 4000! I got new bottles of Connoisseur and no instant giant jellyfish blobs, clots whatever they were forming in my solution. The old one must have become contaminated by the B-52. So I had to throw away B-52, and Carboload, and the old 1 liter bottles of Conno. So far no problems but I am never going to use more than half strength. I hope I don't get just as many problems that way. I will be starting a new plant with BioBizz and compare the 2. VERY upset about the junk that went bad and NO info about it. Not surprised. I didn't think about how a SINGLE bad product could contaminate & destroy every other product in their line. I don’t know when the next product will go bad and if it will cross contaminate another product so I’m not going to take that risk again. The slime that it made instantly in my nutrient solution that I didn’t notice before must have clogged the roots and that’s why I’ve been having some other problems. It was kind of fun mixing up all the stuff from Advanced Nutrients, but now that I know they can and do go bad or get bacteria growing in them and will contaminate & destroy plants and the other nutes, its time to retire that line and go with something else.... After getting Bud Factor X I noticed it the most. 11/28 wow she looks incredible! I over did the nutrients during the vegetative state I can see that now, but I did a flush just with the nutrients in lower concentration at half strength and wow she looks perfect. 12/1 Thursday. I gave her plain water today did not pH. The water usually adjust itself with the solution and the soil. It came out at 6.2. My EC was at 2700 which was down from 4000. 12/2 she responded very well and she’s looking good. I’ve decided to use just one light instead of two maybe later on in flowering but for now I feel that one light really does provide enough energy and adding another one causes more problems than it creates healthy flowers at least for my set up anyway. 12/5 I did a feeding today she was dry. Normally I wait until Monday but I did the half strength feeding with advanced, nutrients connoisseur, and since I just bought the new bottles, everything is fine there’s no more gel or coagulation. The flowers on her are growing better than any other auto flower I’ve ever grown I’m really impressed it’s just phenomenal. I did some LST and I will keep her tied up for about four days and then I’ll remove the ties. This is the first time I’ve tried to do this.

12/5 did some LST yesterday the first time I tried it she’s responding well I’m going to continue nutrients at half strength and that’s all for now 12/6 there are more bud sights on this than I’ve ever seen on any auto flower. I’m already seeing a lot of crystals in the leaves she’s responding well to the LST and I gave her a 1 mL per liter feeding of nutrients with 2 L of water I’m trying to be very careful. I have been using SF1000D lights I bought them a few years ago,they’re not bad they do get hot, especially when I’ve tried to put two of them in one tent it is very difficult to keep cool. Viparspectra I’ll keep it running at 80% and that should be good enough for one autoflower, I got the XS1500. I want to see if there’s any difference in the newer LEDs compared to my older Spider Farmer lights . I found a discount code in one of the discussions here in the site somewhere, and it actually worked it came to about 145 total. It’ll be here tomorrow. 12/7 💎💎💎 I love this seed company. This plant that I topped between three and four and did LST two days ago on is showing me bud sites that are fuller and more full of crystals that I’ve ever seen. this is my 10th Autoflower, my first one from this company and it’s completely different, way better, it’s just phenomenal. I like a clean and symmetrical and even grow. Doing this will make it much easier to process. I’ve never seen a plant grow like this. This is my first time trying LST and I’m glad I did it. It completely changes the plants you can definitely see there will be much more. 12/7 she looks great. because I spread the branches out the way I did, and only have one light on the leaf surface temperatures and the bud surface temperatures are all between 72 and 74° which is perfect. 12/8 Resin production is incredible. it looks like millions of tiny angels jizzed all over my plant it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen 12/8 I got the new Viparspectra light today. It has about 100 more LEDs in the SF 1000 D I’ll take some magnified pictures of the LEDs. The new one is much heavier I like the dimmer that way I don’t have to put in secondary lights for seedlings. It’s not a bad light I like being able to dim the light I ran it at 100% and the temperature was a little hot for me and I’m keeping it kind of close to the plant so I’ll probably lower it down to 75% and that should be good I think. Also I noticed that this one Viparspectra light looks to me brighter than 2 sf100d lights. 12/9 I turned the Viper spectra light down to a little bit less than 75% to bring it down to 100 W. When I did that the temperature stays around 95° on the board and about 98° on the driver, so it is far cooler and more efficient at the same wattage than the older spider farmer lights which were at 110 to 118°( about the same as the XS1500 at full power). So a single 150w xs1500 is about the same as 2 SF1000D lights as far as heat I'm sure the PPF or whatthehelleverthatis is higher ,very nice, If the SF1000D's would have had dimmers they would have been perfect. 12/10 awesome 🤩 12/11 I am seeing lots of resin production more than I’ve ever seen. I think this is so far been my best most successful grow this plant is great. I’m glad I found the seed company. The other ones I used before were pretty bad, I don't LOVE them at all. Also my Yamaha A4A 1600 receiver is total junk, I mean total... I'll never have the money to spend on something like that again, I was totally ripped off. Unrelated but so many formerly trustworthy companies are just TOTAL garbage

I’ve learned that pretty much all of the nutrient companies are garbage. My advanced nutrients line had two products that were expired or bad that contains bacteria, and after I mixed up a gallon of nutrient solution it turned into a jelly. Then I buy bio biz turns out they don’t have a feeding schedule for substrates other than their own so I was so angry I threw it all away. I can look at a diary and tell by the damaged plant which person used Foxfarm nutrients, that turned out to be absolute utter garbage as well. Follow the feeding schedules and destroy your plants. What the hell are these people thinking?? this site is here to promote these products, and they all want glowing reviews and not one damn one of them deserves it. All of these fertilizer companies including Advanced Nutrients, fox farm, seem to put out the worst garbage and then someone else writes to glowing review probably someone who works for them. Any criticism has been clearly scrubbed from the Internet you’ll see bits and pieces of information about bad products, but not too much now that companies are able to get rid of whatever they want. I’m probably going to be visited by three ghosts. That’s what being old does to you. I dug the Biobizz out of the trash and used it at half strength and did a one gallon flush on two 3 gallon plants that I had given up on and a few hours later, they’re both producing resin again, which they didn’t do because of the problems of the bad nutrients very early on in the grow. 12/13 I think this plant might be a part Jedi because it can survive anything, wow she looks so amazing 12/14 I gave her of water with half strength Biobizz hopefully its not too much. I’ll just do water next time. plants from my other grow that I thought were going to be auto flowers turned out not to be are going really slow. I turned the power down from 100 W to 94 W. I noticed a little bit of light stress. This will be nice if I can manage to grow a really nice plant at 94 W or less. The Viparspectra xs1500 @94W temperatures that I measured on the aluminum heat sink around the four corners were about 93 in the front and 90 or 91 in the back. The driver measured at about 95 1/2 to 97° and the tent has remained very cool. The two spider farmer 1000D that are a couple years old one was at about 116° the slightly newer one was 5° cooler than that. I have two of the 1000D’s going in one tent each over 110 degrees using 97 W each and the light output isn’t quite as good as one of my new light at 60%. Finally something that’s not a disappointment. The light seems to be the perfect size for the 27“ x 27“ spider farmer tent that I’m using. If I had two photos maybe I’d run it at 100% but between 60 and 70% seems to be about perfect. I’ll probably get one more of these to replace the 2 SF100D’s which will cut my power usage in half👍 they are efficient enough just to have one light at around half power. 12/16 I used some old cal/mag from Humbolts Secret and it worked fine. She stretched an inch over night after the ca/mag. I used half strength Bud Factor X. I checked to make sure no jelly formed and at least H.S. is shelf stable after 3 years. The amount of resin is just amazing, I didn't know autos could produce like this. She is the best, FastBuds is SO SO SO much better than the seed company I used before, night and f'ing day difference. 12/17 2L just water today. Maybe doing a 5 gal grow next with this strain. 3 gal makes it easy because it uses a half gal per watering, easy to mix I ended up giving her about a gallon and a half of water, got just a little bit of runoff the pPMs were 3400 just incredibly high but as I filter out, advanced nutrients and replace it with the biobizz she seems to be responding positively. She really seems to like the Biobizz better I could be wrong. We’ll see, that’s just my observation today. She is producing so much resin. She looks like the plants you see in the pictures and you hope yours turned out that way…finally! She’s the most incredible plant I’ve ever grown and she’s going very strong. Turning the light down to about 94 watts made a positive difference as well. 12/18 end week Biobizz works great @1/2 strength

I’m going to start a new plant of the strain it’s going so well. 12/21 I just got another Viparspectra XS1500 for about 50 off they must be on sale today. I got it including tax for 119.61. If you’re looking for a light on Amazon they’re on sale the last one was 144 and I thought that was a good deal.👍👍👍 I did 1 gallon of water with the full nutrient of biobizz. I was surprised she needed so much water. She’s coming along great. This is the first time I’ve used full strength nutrients. I hope it’s OK. I’m sure she’ll be fine. It’s just more amazing than any other plant I’ve grown. 12/23 Biobizz in spite of the name that I hate it really seems to be light-years better than the advanced nutrients I was using. I’m only using three of the new products and I used. I think all of the AN line. It’s done damage to the growth of my plants, one or two or three of their products were clearly bad and I have another photo that’s growing and I thought it was just dead, gave it to bio biz nutrients and it’s coming back to life after three months it’s a photo. Period, so I am very disappointed with advanced nutrients. I just was such a big fan but their products wrecked several of my plants before I figured out what the problem was. 12/24 wow💎💎💎👍 I got the new Viparspectra light today and put it in the other tent. It’s cool compared to having two of the older spider farmer lights. It’s nice to have a dimmer. if you look at the advertisements for spider farmer, they always show LED diode‘s that have two rectangles as counterfeit, but yet that’s all they have on all five of the lights I bought from them. That’s strange, they worked just fine & at the time I got them you could not get a light with the dimmer on it for less than I wanted to pay. now prices have come down & glad it has a dimmer. everyone on here seems to like the XS1500. At nearly full power it’s still cool enough to keep in the 27“ x 27“ tent. It’s really important to have a dimmer on these lights, especially when you want to grow from seed and veg in the same tent without having to set up a separate light system. 12/25 Merry Christmas🎄 I got another XS1500 light from Viparspectra. I used the discount code on the Amazon site. Someone put one in the questions section and that worked along with the 30 discount they had today so that’s kind of nice. 12/26 she’s going just fine doing very well. I gave her a full strength feeding today. She looks like that might’ve overdone it a little bit, so I’ll just water later in the week. I’ve been experimenting with my new light on my other tent and it’s going very well. I had what I thought was an auto flower. I planted September 1 turned out not to be autoflower. It’s still going responding well to the new light I lowered from full strength to about 120 W and that is helping me keep the leaf surface temperature and bud surface temperature at a maximum of 75. A new goal is to maintain bud and leaf surface temperature at 75 maximum.

12/26 I cleaned the air intake filters they had been getting quite clogged. The temperature was going up and I couldn’t figure out why now I know. I turned the XS 1500 light down to about 117 W in the other and the temperature on the board maintained between 95,93 and 100 maximum those are great temperatures. my plant in the other tent is too tall it’s only 2 inches from the light but the Bud surface temperature is 78° so I’m very happy with the way these lights are turning out 12/27 I don’t know if it’s the new light or the biobizz, but the plant in my other tent that had been going nowhere. It’s starting to produce incredible amounts of resin so I think the bio biz and this light have been great. 12/28 12/29 I took the top off the plant from my other tent. I got 1.93 ounces wet. I was running out but I’m not willing to let go.🤣 12/30/1916 it was a horrible year, but I am sure the next two years are going to be just grand 12/30/2022 it was a horrible year, but I am sure the next two years are going to be just great 12/30 i’m setting up a new tent, doing a lot of unnecessary wiring and having a lot of fun 12/31 Saturday. I did a gallon with biobizz. I also found my old Purpinator that was brand new so I opened that up I added it to the water first and looked at it. It was still sealed, but I wanted to make sure it was OK and it was. I used 6 mL in a gallon and 16 mL of the two biobizz and 4 mL of the grow, I threw in 2 mL of Cal mag as well. 1/1/2023 I cut up some fabric 12 1/2“ x 3 or 4 inch wrap them around the carbon filter fold it in and create a sleeve that’s snug enough to keep it on snug & airtight but easy enough to remove and put it back on when I change out the air filter every couple of weeks.

1/2/23 she’s doing great I moved a leaf and noticed that she has tan lines. That is amazing. This lights incredible I took the two bottom branches that I usually trim off. I’m glad I didn’t because I got 1.83 ounces and 1.78 ounces wet. This plant has been the best strongest plant I’ve ever grown it’s really nice and it smells great. I’m gonna give the rest of her, maybe another couple weeks it’s just exciting to watch her grow. I’m not in a hurry to harvest. I do partial harvest as I go along. 1/3 I turned the viper spectra XS1500 light down to halfway which is 82.3 W. And the amount of energy still is more than two of my old spider farmer lights. I had no idea how important brand new LEDs are this is just fantastic. I bet I can grow an entire plant for probably 90 W. 1/4 yum yum omg smells gooooooood.. FYI, Just because a Gamorrean pledges their loyalty doesn't mean they wont eat your weed, lesson learned. 1/4 Just smoked some that had been drying for only 2 days. The smell was so strong like no auto I have ever smelled. This is like top shelf photo from the dispensary. I am totally impressed. 1/6 i’m going to set up a new tent. It starts with the power source. It looked really ugly, so I wanted to try something nicer. I got one of the TP Link power strips three individual outlet controls for the smaller tent that I will germinate in my use one to monitor the power of the light and I keep switching them around. It’s really nice to have. 1/8 I’m going to plant some seeds today. It’s Elvis’s birthday. I threw away a liter of Purpinator today. I’ve been having nutrient troubles, and I noticed a little that I had mixed up in a small spray bottle had started to congeale. And after I tried 6 mL of it in a gallon twice I noticed some plant damage. I don’t know if it’s that stuff or not but when I add something new it seems to cause damage. So I will never use that again. it’s taking me a month to set up a small 24 x 24“ tent I don’t know what’s wrong with me so I have two 27“ x 27“ and one 24 x 24“. The small tent will be for photoperiod also for germination, the other two are going to be for autos only. I’ve discovered auto flowers need their own tent and their own space, especially the way I train them. I top them after the 3rd node then wait until a couple weeks into flower and I soften the branches pressing them between my thumb & index finger to keep them limber then spread them out so they kind a look like a giant crab, but they grow up very strong and they don’t need support I was going to go with 5 gallon but I think it would be just too heavy so I’ll stick with 3 gallons. I’ll be starting to gorilla cookies this coming week probably tonight, but I’ll start the diary tomorrow. If you hold the phone up to the TV, it types out the dialogue . I’m gonna d mad max later don’t you wish you were like me easily amused? You get a lot less brains on your wall that way.

1/9 well I let her go really dry and I’m going to do watering with a half strength of biobizz and then I will do water from here on out after this last feeding I think she’s about ready. Also, why is it when I finally come up with an extra 40 to my name, seedsman is out of gorilla cookies from 42 fast buds??? I guess I’ll have to wait. They’re really good. I would appreciate it if no one else bought gorilla cookies until I’m sure I have enough for myself. Thank you for your concern. Just ordered a new AC Infinity air filter. Those seem to be the best, I washed it once or twice in hot soapy water and it's ok. I washed the Vivosun ones and they still worked too. I found some old super soil that I stopped using I didn't like it, but I ran out of regular fox farm OF. So my tent smells like homeless dump. Im going to use that for a photo grow with some old cherry pie seeds. I have 2 more gorilla cookies left Im going to start today. I mixed 50/50 Fox farm ocean and happy frog..... after all that work NOW the Ocean Forest soil will be delivered today. I think mixing soils is a huge waste of time. I like OF from now on that is all I will use. I forgot that its my last two weeks now, so I just am going to do water from here on out 12/10 going to do.a partial harvest today on both plants Im running out, I haven't planted next harvest seeds yet so I want something to do for a couple more weeks so Ill move my junker plant in with the GC and take 2 colas from the GC and get them drying. Ive been smoking samples that have been just hanging in the drying tent and wow are they great, strong knock you over smell, just the best! Just took ONE branch about 3.5 oz from the smallest one!!!!!!!. Awesome!!! Sooo that means I could have purplety trillions oz after final harvest if my math is correct. Now I am doing tent consolidation for energy conservation. I move my auto from tent 1 into tent 2 keeping two plants going. I will then clean and sterilize tent number one and I will plant the rest of my seeds today in tent 3. Tent three is a smaller tent just for germination and photoperiod. My entire grow is down to about 164 watts. Both plants are in one tent. There’s plenty of airflow that will work for two weeks. Will plant the remaining gorilla glue today. Everything looks good. 1/11/23 I just got my carbon filter from AC infinity and feels about half the weight of the last one I bought about four years ago. If I hadn’t already unwrapped it, I would’ve returned it. You’re better off buying the cheaper brands on Amazon than this 50 one because they’re not what they used to be. I’m sure they’re half the weight for a reason. Congratulations AC Infinity you’re on my permanent sh*t list. another company that used to be good. 👎🏻 Of course I could be wrong. It’s brand new so it’s going to work. I’ve been smoking samples that have been drying for about a week and the taste and smell are so nice really is the best. I’ve had some other autos and they all tasted bad compared to this. I had Girl Scout cookie extreme they were terrible. I grew them, and I thought it was me, but they were just terrible plants these gorilla cookies Are light years better than anything else I’ve ever grown. I love this company the 42 fast Bud 👍 1/13 I have been using the TP link energy monitoring outlets on my viparspectra lights they work great as timers. I try to have two on each tent, one for the lights, just control the timers and see what my wattage and the other on the main plug for the tent to see how much electricity each tent is pulling in total. if the fans start drawing more power I know that the filters are getting dirty , also the temperature rises a little bit each day inside the tent. I bought some material for the filters and it turned out to be like a hospital gown paper could never be washed so that was a waste of money. The washable Merv 13 material works pretty good. I also used 4 inch HEPA filter pucks I found on Amazon. I think they go inside small desktop air filters, that fit inside the 4 inch ducting. I put one puck on each end of about 6 inches of ducting and use removable painters tape to secure them. it to so it works pretty good as long as I don’t try to pull too much airflow through the tent at one time. I keep the fan on the lowest setting and that consistent amount of air is enough 1/13 Used old carbon filters as intake and exhaust filters I gave her about a gallon of water today. I’m surprised how quickly she still drinks and how much water she needs she’s really doing great. As long as she is taking up water quickly then I’m going to keep her growing so I would guess another week maybe two 1/14 smoking what has dried only for a week....wow! Im not waiting for it to cure it's just great now, but when it does I'm sure it will be great. 👍 1/15 Sunday. I took one of the branches off and got about 3.5 ounces. So I’m going to get about 13 or 14 ounces wet six or 7 ounces when it’s dry probably that’s really good. I took the power of the light from 130 down to about 115 and I’ll keep it there running 18 hours for the next two weeks or until I think she doesn’t want to be in the ground anymore. I’ll pull her up and start drying. I cut the top cola off the other mystery plant.

1/16 I did a partial harvest yesterday and another one last week. I’ve gotten about 7 ounces from two of the branches I took. I’m going to let the other two go maybe a week or two longer I just wanna see what happens. This is been a lot of fun to grow. 1/17 I gave her a trim today. I took off all unnecessary leaves trimmed her up. The temperatures are cool so everything will be fine and I’m gonna see how she goes for another week. Toy Story 2049 🤠 1/18 Caps from bleach bottle, and Tylenol. Bottle fit on old AN nutrient bottles that the lids have gone bad. One of many problems with AN is their cheap caps on the products, THEY DONT CLOSE, Horrible products, I just tossed them all. Something about that company has great marketing but that's where it ends. I got Bud Factor X, then got ripped off from an amazon affiliate lost 100, when I got another I saw zero difference. Who is stupid enough to buy 2 bottles of 100 of lies...this guy... Going to throw all Advanced Nutrient products all that money going to the dumpster today. 😡 1/19 speaking of angry face things to go in the garbage I bought seeds from a different company that I don’t LOVE and almost every one of them have been either bad seeds or horrible plants so I’m gonna try that one more but my god, what a garbage company you u scum bags 1/21 Sundays with Sinatra she looks pretty good. I think I’m gonna go another week. After I trimmed up the one branch I got .88 ounce or 24.95 g not bad for one branch. If I would have had to buy an ounce from a dispensary they would have included the branches I cut off to make it a full ounce...So glad I never have to pay those people again..... so I’ll probably get four or 5 ounces from one plant in a 3 gallon pot. That’s pretty good and this is really nice. I got them from Seedsman and they’ve been great. I think they are out of this strain now hopefully they’ll be back in stock. This is definitely one I want to try again I have two more going my last two seeds.

1/22 i’ve decided to keep her going because she just seems to want to grow. last week after I trimmed up the branch I took off I got a little less than an ounce but it’s very good so I’m pretty happy with it. 1/24 👍👍👍 I tried to get some more seeds but by the time I figured out how to use the goddamn Internet on my phone they were already sold out. 1/26 I did a 3 gallon flush just water yesterday 1 gallon at a time about 20 minutes spread out between each one. I pH the water to about 7.4 because in the solution it always drops a point at least. She’s been ready for a couple weeks, but I'm going to keep the last 2 branches going. tried to get some more seeds, when I finally got finished ordering, setting up a new account all that work...hteir site doesn't work now 1/27 can't figure out Seedsplug..... But Seedsman is working again, but no GC....It's so good no wonder!! Now it's a game to see if I can find them before they are gone. They are showing lots of purple now. Since I did the water flush my PPM is at 1200 and she is taking up water again 1/28 I noticed I was running out so I took another branch today now she looks like a giant penis. It’s hilarious.I think she's alive like in The Abyss.... I’ve gotten 3 ounces of each of the 4 branches minimum so I’d say about 14 ounces wet probably 6 ounces dry including the first 2 bottom branches I took, that’s really good this technique seems to work well.

1/30 I took a branch last week got about an ounce, so I think I’ll end up with 5 ounces from this plant. I’m gonna keep this one branch going just to see how she does. 1/31 going to do a 3 gallon water only flush today. Will probably take this last branch down this week. I don’t think she’ll go too much longer. 2/1 She's almost ready to die. She's seen things you people wouldn't belive. Nexus Number 2 the Replicant Toilet Repair Robot, she's not getting a movie, all those moments will be lost like toilet paper down the drain. I lowered the light and then I lowered the watts down to about 100 it’s at 106 right now and I think that will be good enough. Running this light around 100 W up to 110 W doesn’t produce any more heat, but it is still phenomenally bright. Equally as bright as two of my old spider farmer lights with less than a quarter of the heat & half the electricity . It is just great.

2/6 she’s done I’m just going to keep her going to see how she responds because I am not out yet. I let them basically almost dry on the plant. I got a little bit less than an ounce from the last branch. I took my total on this will be about 4 ounces pretty good considering all the trouble I had.

These are the best seeds and have produced the best plants. They’re absolutely wonderful. I did not cure of them I only dried them for a week and the taste is great. They’re just like almost like photo. I can’t wait to grow some more of these.

I love this strain. Every time I go to Seedsman to try and buy them they’re out I don’t mind waiting. This has been the best growing experience I’ve ever had switching to biobizz switching seed companies. Everything is much better now.

Never, you should never use feeding charts. NPK Calculator and strict plan for whole grow period. This is how autoflowers should be grown. Too bad that you met bad nutrients, I had issue with outdated Piranha ~_~ GL & HF
