FastBuds/Mephisto/ILGM mix

12 DLI, 150 PPFD, 0.8 VPD. Started using the Vivosun sprayer. I am having problems getting my Vivosun equipment to work correctly, so I am accidentally using 24 hours of light instead of the usual 18. Gave about 0.5L total twice a day, which is way more than previous grows. FS - I took the shell off because it stayed on after 3 days. It looks terrible. Ends of leaves look cut/burnt (stunted?). I don't think I damaged it when I took the shell off. LCC - Looking good so far BPP - Still looking the best WW - I may have damaged the plant when I picked it up and touched a box with it, or maybe it's mutated because the leaves look funny and very assymterical

16 DLI, 180 PPFD, 0.8 VPD. Turned on 2nd light, and plants reacted well. I may have overwatered a bit so I'll give them less. Next watering will have nutes for first time. Leaves getting a little yellow, so hopefully nitrogen from the nutes help. FS - Looking a lot better in the past few days, as it's not as wrinkly/small as before LCC - Looking great. The only perky one BPP - First leaves got rust spots and ends of leaves drooping WW - Transplanted to a 3-gallon pot with myco once I realized it fit. I think it's the most overwatered, and is the most yellow

30 DLI, 350 PPFD, 1.1 VPD. Temps went up due to a fall heat wave. Gave them all nutes for the first time. I was hoping for bigger plants, and the 2 Fastbuds aren't looking too good. Will do LST soon. Starting to have a plant smell. FS - Became the frontrunner FAST. By far the greenest one, and the only one with no issues so far. I keep forgetting it's 5 days younger than the others LCC - Had a bad week. Still yellow-ish with rust spots. Pistils showing BPP - I hope this one makes it, Rust spots going upward, and the leaf stems are also discolored. Pistils showing WW - Becoming less yellow. Nice improvement over the past couple of days

40 DLI, 475 PPFD, 1.25 VPD. First time LST. All 10" except LCC (8"). Looks like only the FS will have a decent yield. Still having problems with the Fastbuds leaf discoloration. Will set up trellis net soon. FS - White pistils finally showed up yesterday (Day 34) LCC - No change BPP - No change WW - No change

50 DLI, 575 PPFD, 1.5 VPD (temps went up). Gave them all cal-mag for the first time. More LST. FS - 17" (7" in a week!). Lots of colas LCC - 8" (no change in a week, ugh). Leaves started drying/dying like crazy yesterday. Only good thing is it's first to have frost and turn purple, and the pistils are the thickest I've grown BPP - 12" (2" increase). Gave PH Down for first time WW - 16" (6" increase!). Turning neon yellow/green, but PH is fine. Gave PH Down for first time just in case

55 DLI, 650 PPFD (final), 1.5 VPD. Increased light from 95% to 100%. Gave bloom nutrients for first time. Humidity jumping overnight for some reason, but no issues. I may give molasses next week for the yellowing/flowering. Approaching final heights. FS - 20" (3" increase). Officially the tallest plant I've grown (out of 11). Hoping for 3oz at this point. Leaves turning purple, and orange pistils showing. The cola stems are as thick as the other plants' main stems. Reacted very well to feedings/watering. More LST LCC - 8" (final height). Leaves started inexplicably drying/curling up AGAIN. Put on shoebox to catch up with the other plants and get more light. Only good news is it'll be harvested first, in about a month BPP - 13" (1" increase). Orange pistils showing. WW - 18" (2" increase). 2nd tallest plant I've grown. Reacted very well to bloom nutes. LOTS of LST, as colas appeared out of nowhere. Only plant with no orange pistils, so it may be harvested last. Maybe I get a decent yield after all

1.4 VPD (temps & humidity lowered). Gave all top-dressed 2 tbsp of molasses. Interesting smell the following days, which I can't really describe. FS - 21" (1.5" increase). More purple-ing of the leaves. Reacting better and better. Frost showing. Had to raise light since leaves curled/discolored from light burn. This one drinks the quickest by far (3.5L 3 days apart) LCC - 8" (final height). Also giving 3.5L each watering, but 4 days apart BPP - 13" (final height). Showing thick pistils, similar to LCC. Buds fattening, so maybe yield won't be so bad. 3.0L each watering. Accidentally gave nutes 2 times in a row but, no bad reaction WW - 18.5" (0.5" increase). Turned yellow again from overwatering (2.5L in a 3-gallon), so I will reduce amount.

VPD down to 1.3 due to lower temps and higher humidity. Changed light from 24/0 to 20/4, and no noticeable change. I moved the plants around so the taller plants would be under the same light. Used Big Foot myco for the first time. No noticeable change. Smell increasing but not that strong. Will skip a feeding because of possible nute burn. FS - 22" (1" increase). Leaf tips burning more, which I suspect is nute burn. Starting to fill out. Small amount of dried green runoff in saucer LCC - 8" (final height). Looks completely filled out. A little bit a white mold on top of soil, and the fabric pot is turning brown for some reason BPP - 13" (final height). Looks done aside from pistils and trichomes changing color WW - 20" (1.5" increase). Unexpected growth spurt! Leaves look bad again, and many died. Maybe this one is having nute burn too

1.3 VPD (temp & humidity lowered). I will probably skip next week's diary because I will be away. By then, 1 or 2 plants will be ready for harvest. First time defoliating. Will give boost nutes soon. FS: 22": Getting frosty. Defoliated. Up to 4.0L per watering LCC: 8" (final height): Still fattening out. Up to 4.0L per watering BPP: 13" (final height): Fattening up nicely and getting pretty frosty. Defoliated the dry leaves on top, which exposed some greener leaves WW: 21" (1" increase): Leaves went from yellow to gold, and some are still dying off. It absorbs water very slowly

1.4 VPD (lower humidity). Went away for 5 days. I was worried about plants drying out and possible mold, but I was surprised to see not only no issues, but one was ready for harvest, and the FS matured beautifully. Gave ILGM Plant Booster for the first time. Lowered lights from 100% to 95%, and then 90% as plants mature. Up to 4.5L per watering, and 2.5L for the WW. Nice, sweet smell coming from the tent. FS: 22.5 (0.5" increase). An amazing array of colors, and getting frosty. 4.5L 2 days apart as she's starting to get very thirsty. I hope to harvest within 3 weeks. LCC: 8": Will harvest by next diary. Looked the same for the past 2 weeks, but no amber trichomes yet BPP: 13": Harvested on Day 82. Drying in 68 degree, 60% humidity conditions. Pistils turned orange quickly. I hope to get an ounce. Has a sweet smell after you touch the buds WW: 21": This one is going to take forever. Still a lot of white pistils, and leaves still dying

1.5 VPD (lower humidity). One more harvested. Two more left, and each now have their own light. Lowered lights from 90% to 65% to lower temperature & DLI as plants mature FS: 22.5" (final height). DLI down to 34. Looks like I'll be harvesting by next week's diary, as it has matured quicker than expected. Amber trichomes out of nowhere, and almost all pistils are orange. Lots of defoliation as I try to get as much light penetration and stress for last-minute frost. Gave nutes 2 times in a row accidentally, but no adverse effects. Up to 5.0L per watering LCC: 8": Harvested day 88, and drying in 68 temperature, 55% humidity conditions. Looks pretty good aside from the size. Buds seems denser/wetter than the BPP. Some of the inner buds are red/pink BPP: Still in curing and burping twice daily. Decent fruity smell. I need to re-trim since buds look sloppy WW: 21": DLI 48. Up to 3.0L per watering. Pistils rapidly becoming orange finally, and leaves slightly greener. I may harvest early so the FS can dry in the tent with this one. I'm not even sure if I'm going to smoke this thing anyway

Harvested Day 82 and dried in 68-degree, 60% humidity. One branch snapped on Day 3, then I lowered humidity to 55%. Another branch snap at Day 4, so that's when I finished drying. One down, 3 to go. Was hoping for 2-4 ounces, but will give it another shot.

1.4 VPD (slightly lower temps). No major changes. Gave Plant Boost for 2nd and last time. FS: Defoliating led to a lot of new white pistils, so I'm going to let this go as long as possible while I await the WW being ready. Leaves turning from purple to maroon! I may harvest the main cola on its own WW: Pistils 60% white. Good thing I'm never growing this one again, haha LCC: Still curing/burping BPP: Stopped burping, and put away in closet for long-term curing

Finished drying on Day 6 after the main cola snapped, and now it's in curing. Buds smell skunkier than usual and look pretty good.

1.6 VPD (lower humidity). Bought a turkey baster to help remove runoff, haha. FS: Still defoliating and exposing white pistils. WW: Pistils mostly orange. Up to 3.5L per watering LCC: Stopped burping, and put away in closet for long-term curing BPP: Still in closet for long-term curing

1.6 VPD. Finally took down the last two. Next diaries will be the Harvests. Both hanging in a dark tent in 55 humidity, 67-degree conditions. FS: Chopped Day 105. Good amount of purple on the bud tops. A surprising amount of larfs at the bottom, so I'll have more than expected for edibles. Hoping for 2.5oz plus the trim/larfs WW: Chopped Day 110. Buds were denser than expected. Unfortunately, the orange pistils come off very easily on this strain. I think I'll get over an ounce

Dried for 12 days. Very happy with this one. 79g (2.8oz) total including the larfs/scraps, which turned out better-looking than I thought. This is easily the best-looking one I've harvested. Smells like grapefruit. Good amount of purple color. By far the best of the grow. Putting into curing in 68 temp, 45-50% humidity in the dark tent.

Finally done. Dried for 13 days. 25g (0.9oz) including 3g of larfs. Good thing I won't be planting these seeds again. Will cure in a dark tent in 68-degree, 55% humidity. All 4 plants combined are 141g (5.0oz). I was hoping for more, but fixing watering issues should fix that. Next diary will have 2 CBD plants for the first time. Will start in a week or two.
