Spring 2025 Fast Buds Trio

Little_Pot Put them into final container. I mixed 50l coco coir with 20l perlite. I filled three pots, and got enough left for 1-2. Ladies were rather small so I measured PPFD it was around 350. Definitely too much for 2nd week, so I dimmed the lamp and increased the distance. PPFD 230, DLI 14.5 I am using a heater for heating up the tent in my basement. The temp at day is around 25 C, night is at 21 C

Little_Pot They grow steady. A little bit short, but maybe they put their energy in root development :) Increased daylight to 20h. DLI 17

Little_Pot Reduced night temp to 20 C. Increased light intensity to 20 DLI. They are growing rather slow. In my last grow, at that time the fan leaves were big enough to touch the edge of the pot, but in this grow they are not so wide. Maybe it is because I am growing in coco? And with new light. First, I ramped up light to 32 DLI, it looks like they handled it without problems. So for next time - more light intensity

Little_Pot They started smelling very light. Also, the first signs of flowering are there. They still ate small and already entered preflower, not very good but we‘ll see. I started with LST because the stems are still bendable. I would rather start with bigger plants, but ok. They grew very slow, so I decided to read about growing in coco. My problem was that I was watering every 3-4 days to no runoff. So I measured EC of runoff and it was around 3000! I immediately flush them with a lot of plain water and started watering every day to 20-30% runoff. One day plain, and one with nutrients it looks like the took it well

Little_Pot Banana Punch is almost in flowering now. I got some brown spots on older leaves. I think this is calmag deficiency because of coco. So I gave them double dosage of calmag, and I‘ll be adding it to plain watering too. Did some LST, cracked main stem on Lemon Cherry, but I think she will manage it, fixed it with tape. Did some defoliation, Purple Haze is grown the best, the others two are really small

Little_Pot They are flowering now. I got some problems with brown spots on leaves, and some leaves on the bottom are yellow. I increased the amount of CalMag, hope that will help.

Little_Pot I increased CalMag from recommended 1 ml/l to 2 ml/l. It looks like it helped with the brown spots. I think that these big amounts of yellow leaves is on a single side of every plant. Maybe it is light or wind burn, so I moved the led higher, DLI 45, and moved the oscillating fan higher. The stretching is over. Lemon Cherry and Purple Punch already show purple flowers. Purple Haze is the biggest plant, but taking her time with flowers, this is good :)

Little_Pot Lemon Cookie and Banana Purple are full in their purple flowering. Purple Haze on contrary shows no sign of purple, and seems to lag behind. :) I was planning to harvest at week 13, but it looks like LC and BP will be ready sooner. I try to water every day, iterating full nutrient load with plain water with only CalMag.

Little_Pot I was away 3 days. When I opened the tent I was shocked, one Cola was yellow and dry - bud rot. I quickly removed it along with some healthy buds to be sure. Later I improved ventilation and air circulation and strongly defoliated the plants. I think they need 5-10 days to harvest.

Little_Pot Week 11 started, and it looks like it is time to harvest. I am sad a little bit, it was not an easy grow, but at the end the girls developed really great. I am missing the time I spent with them already. But this is the circle of life, right? I turned the lights off for 24 hours, and tomorrow evening I am going to harvest.

Little_Pot It’s harvest time! Big purple colas

Little_Pot Harvest time! This the heaviest plant. Not so big colas, but a lot of them

Little_Pot Huge colas!
