Welcome to Growdiaries Grow 16. This grow is going to be different from my previous ones. Some FastBuds fast flowering seeds have landed through my letter box, big thanks to Heather from @Fast_Buds your a star. I'm really looking forward to trying these out. If you want information on these fast flowering versions from fastbuds have a look in the breeder section on this site or visit there main website. I haven't grown a photoperiod for quite a while so it will good to get back into it. I haven't decided on what I'm going to do training wise but I'm only going to run 3 strains this grow and try and fill my tent with the 3 plants. If these grow as quickly as Fastbuds autoflowers do then i may not do a long Veg cycle, but I'll flip to 12/12 when I feel happy with how much space they take up. During my last grow I got chatting to a grower called Theia (check out his diaries), and the dude told me how he managers to keep good conditions going in his grow room remotely. Very simple bit of kit that doesn't cost much, easily expandable, and can be controlled remotely. I took the advice and bought the temperature/humidity sensor and the 8 WiFi plugs he recommended. I ran my previous grow for the last few weeks using this system and it made a massive difference from controlling devices with timers. Having to guess how long to run a humidifier or dehumidifier or radiator for is now gone thanks to this. These devices are now connected to an app called smart life and I can see them and set parameters anywhere in the world. The sensor will remotely trigger devices to turn on or off depending on the settings I use. New parts to setup. New carbon filter. Wifi temperature/humidity sensor. Wifi plug (for light) Wifi plug (for radiator) Wifi plug (for humidifier or dehumidifier) Wifi plug (for automatic feeds) Wifi plug (for automatic drainage) This grow is going to consist of. #1 Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake FF #2 Fastbuds Tropicana Cookies FF #3 Fastbuds Gorilla Cookies FF This diary is focused on. #3 Gorilla Cookies FF Preparation Friday 13/1/23 prep day 1 Mixed up 24L of biobizz light mix with 5ml per litre ecothrive charge.

@ironf1st, I found a app on my phone called notes, I now document everything in that as I usually have my phone on me when checking. I then copy and paste the relevant information into my diary. Life has become a bit easier that way.

Following your grow! How do you manage to have two different setts of setting for radiator & humidifer, one sett for lights on and another one for lights off? What is the gadget you are using for it? In my mind I will need to have two radiators and humidifer, one of each for lights on and one of each for lights off. But I assume you are using some climate control gadget for that

@Vlada, I have Dm you, open the green triangle thingy

@Hashy, So is this i-smart-life.com, right? I do see some wifi pug on website but I dont see wifi temperature/humidity sensor. Can you provide some link for that sensor? Also, what will happen if you temporaly lose internet conection at your grow place? I assume you will only not be able to change the settings but the system (radiator, dehumidifier) would still operate under current setting? This app with its gadgets it game changer, at least for me
Hashy
Hashy
@Vlada, there is a WiFi temperature/humidity sensor in the tent, all equipment are connected to WiFi plugs. The app smart life is where the magic happens. I have set parameters in the app, lights get switched on at 06.00 am and off at 00.00, the parameters for the radiator and humidifier are set to be triggered petween 06.01 and 23.59 then I have a different set of parameters set between 00.01 and 05.59 for lights out. So I use 1 radiator and 1 humidifier but depending on the time of day to what triggers them off.

Looking nice 💚💨✌️🏻 How far are the phenos from each other ? Did they all start to flower in the same time ? I am just growing out gorilla cookies auto I have 4 phenos and they are all in different stages one finishes around 9 weeks the other around 10-11 weeks the next one 12 weeks and the last one probably like 13-14 weeks all together. I am thinking of trying the gorilla cookies fast flowering but I am worried it will be similar with the phenos and there might be only one which really takes 7 weeks and the others take much longer, if they are 8 weeks max i wouldnt mind too 🤷‍♂️✌️🏻 what do you think ?
Hashy

@FacelessGardens, hi mate, they all flowered very closely together, the gorilla cookies was the 1st to start with the pistils then a few days later it was the wedding cheesecakes turn and a few days after that it was the topicana cookies Turn. I'd say they all started pumping out pistils within a week of each other. I'm a good few weeks ahead in the grow to where my diaries are at and I'm thinking the gorilla cookies is going to be the 1st to finish and the wedding cheesecake and Tropicana Cookies so far look like they will finish together about a week or slightly longer after the gorilla cookies.

@GrowingGrannie, this one is pretty damn good. Snapped the main and it was hanging on by a few fibres, taped up and has carried on growing no problem, maybe a few days to recover.

@FacelessGardens, I'm a bit behind on my diaries, I have just started week 9 of flower and the gorilla cookies is ready for harvest, the wedding cheesecake is a few days behind that and the Tropicana Cookies is a few days behind the cheesecake. I could have harvested the gorilla cookies at the end of week 8 but I'm going leave it till end week 9. All should definitely be harvested before end of week 10.
