Round up for the week.
All above information is for me to remember what I did.
The 1st week has been OK. I have managed to keep the VPD in check throughout the week with the aim of keeping it between 0.4 and 0.8
I remembered the WiFi sensor doesn't constantly communicate with the app mid way through the week so managed to dial things in closer to the end of the week. How the sensor works is when the temp moves 0.5c from its last sent reading it then transmits the new reading or if RH moves 5% since last sent reading.
The DLI was a little on the low side for the week as 2 strains stretched and toppled over, should have had it set to 12Dli.
#1 Wedding Cheesecake FF has done great this week, she is on to her 2nd set of true leaves. Even though this one had slightly less light then the other strains she has not stretched and toppled like the others. She is where I would expect her to be at this stage in life and looking good.

Thanks for stopping by.
Dig the way your wrote out your diary very helpful since I'm just trying out some autoflowers . Appreciate you sharing!!
Best of luck to you on your current grows !!
@Grow4Releaf, yeah - the only difference between what @Hashy is able to do with these fast versions and autoflowers is the strength of the nutes... you should cut them in half for autoflowers... :-D @Hashy is an amazing grower!
@Grow4Releaf, thanks mate, these aren't autoflowers. They are the new fastflowering photophotoperiods that fastbuds has released. Autos will handle most of what I have done during the grow so the diary should be OK to a point for autoflowers.
Definitely going to follow this one, @Hashy - because this is on my list of "boy do I want to grow THAT one" .... but I'll be growing DWC... VERY excited to see the progress here... all the best, my friend!
@GrowingGrannie, thanks mate. The autoflower version is one of my favourites so I'm expecting great things from this one. Wish I had the space for dwc, grow monster plants in them systems.
@JuanHaze_Arg, I would say it's stronger then the autoflower but not by much, shame I didn't have any left of the auto version and I could have sampled them both at same time.
Hey Growmie,
Thanks a bunch for growing our Fastflowering genetics, and sharing this diary with us :)
We hope that it was a nice experience, and that you enjoy the harvest!
Have a good one
Sehr spannend bei dir. Ich bin schon ganz aufgeregt wie meine FF los legt wenn ich die Blüte einleite. Viel Glück dir weiterhin. Sieht ja bisher super gut aus
Oh @Hashy!! This lady is INCREDIBLE!!!! I'm going to go with her FIRST when I get space enough to do another grow (have to take down my tent after I harvest what's growing now because a friend is coming to visit for a week and the tent rather clogs up the entire bedroom! LOL) ... But mid- to end of June, I'll be growing this one and I hope I'm HALF as successful as you! From the size of her, I don't think I want more than one plant in my 2x4... do you agree?
