FastBuds German legal grow with 300W LED

Cam0uflag3 Super boof has a blue tag Strawberry gorilla has a purple tag and pound cake has a yellow tag Pictures show day 7 after breaking surface. All are doing good but the light seems to be set too low at 30%, since all are very tall.- increased light to 40% The reading of ppfd with smartphone and photone app made some problems

Cam0uflag3 Pound cake - yellow Super boof - blue Strawberry gorilla - pink All Three had leaves on the main stem removed to reduce its light priority, which was done on day 13, fairly early but i wanted to do it on all three at the same time. The pictures show before and after training, as well as two days later

Cam0uflag3 Pound cake is the most vigorous out of the three of them. I did defolitate it every 3 days when necessary. Strawberry gorilla was bound down using LST and defoliation to reduce the lightpriority of the main stem. Lst stakes are the typical tent stakes. The Light was up to 70%, which is around 750ppfd almost consant over the whole canopy. They grew stumpy, so i increased the light distance to 75cm on day 21, lets see if that help

Cam0uflag3 While this does say flower, only two of my plants really start to flower. Poundcake (estimated 10W) and Strawberry gorilla (est. 10W) are in flower since day 24ish. Super boof (est 9W) ist still not in a stretch phase. Its now day 30 and i think it slowly starts to stretch but Ill talk about it in my next update. Getting to this week: After the first fertalizing with this weeks nutrients i spotted some light nutrient burn. To combat this I had to flush the superboof (runoff EC ~1.9 untill runoff ~1.3). The other ones had a similar EC but were doing fairly ok. SO instead I just watered them with filtered water. After three days, all were dry enough to get their next watering in which I switched back to the main dosing but used filtered water instead of tapwater. This seemed to help tremedeously. Both Poundcake and Strawberry gorilla looked fairly wilted. My thoughts were either 1. Nitrogen burn, 2. not enough water. The lowest leaf had some indication of Nitrogen deficiency, so while a lockout could be the culprit, I checked all of the metrics (runoff, watering EC and watering ph) but all seemed fine. Even after watering they still didn't peak up as i would have hoped. The problems had been that I didn't adjust the ventilator from them being ~25cm tall to now being 50cm tall. After adjusting the ventilator, all leaves pearked right back up which will be shown in the next update :) While I don't seem to be the only one having a short super boof, I am fairly disapointed with the breeders info. It should flower quicker than my others and typically be 20cm taller on average than the others. However this does not seem to be the case thus far. Others on their website have also talked about them only starting the stretch at day 30, so maybe It will still get bigger. Since it didn't seem to be in flower yet (very few pistles shown) I did a final defoliation of the main cannopy on day 27. The plant now looks better than it ever had. I will keep an eye on this plant and thus far its not lost. Especially if it has these lemon terps as others have described. See you next week!

Cam0uflag3 A lot happened in the last 7 Days of my plants. Lets start off with the one I stopped last, Super boof: The plant finally started to the bloom stretch at day 30. You can finally see the flowers to start, however as i suspected the last week, the strechts is significantly less than on the other two. To still ensure a good bud development, I gave it a small booster seat to bring it closer to the lamp. Both Poundcake and Strawberry gorilla finished their stretch and start the bulking process. Both currently have three equivalent main colas and many many more B teir ones. I did lollypop them to decrease the popcorn buds, though I may not have done enough. Suggestions are apprechiated. Poundcake developed a slight calmag deficiency so I increased the dosage from preventative to active dosage with 1ml/l. depending on the development, I may still increase it further during the next week. Stawrberry gorilla is growing strong and the one which has no problem with its current living situation. While all of them started to smell, non of them have a destinct smell yet. With some days reaching 30°C in the tent, the plants can be smelled when the door of the growroom is left open. Though not too bad. My RH is above what I want to achieve, though nothing I can really do about it. I have removed some of the leaf matter to reduce transpiration and maybe decrease the RH, though that only seems to work for a day or so. I am on vacation for the next five days but my gf will probably water them if needed with plain water, so I will have new deficiencies I have to sort out after week 6 :)

Cam0uflag3 After being gone for about 5 Days, the plants kept thriving. While my partner wanted to water them, they didn't show any signs of needing water. So I watered on the 5th day. All of them start to show some signs of deficiency. All are slightly different but not at a really bad level. The starberry gorilla also started to purple slightly. Super boof seems to be having a slight Nitrogen deficiency, the SG shows a Potasium deficiency and the PC a Potasium and Calmag signs. I only watered them twice the following so these signs increased and will be showcased next week! Thanks again for using my Code for FastBuds! I really enjoy their genetics and am super excited about my upcomming harvest. I will have to harvest on the 26th of August. I do think that both Poundcake and Stawberry gorilla will be done by then, the Superboof will probably be late. But there are 3+ Weeks so maybe it'll be fine

Cam0uflag3 The dificiencies are running stronger and so I increase both fertalizers drastically. Since they havent been really keeping all of the water i wanted them to give, I let them dry out a little further and then dumping the pots in water. For that I pulled them out of the tent. SG started to show really nice dark colors, while the others are still farily green. All of them started to canibalize their own lower fanleaves, which i partly want to circumvent since the plants still need more than three more weeks. I will stop to fertalize on the 20th of August, since I have to harvest on the 26th. This is still up to discussion but being on vacation for 10 days, I much rather have them drying than dying during these days.

Cam0uflag3 This week mainly consisted of waiting for bulking. And it paied off! I really can't be mad at the growth of these genetics. I am especially exited with strawberry gorilal. She looks gorgeous. I even entered her in the picture competition of Fastbuds Discord Channel. I hope she is a winner! I did remove the trellise net since it was getting more in my way than actually helping. I also had to "fight" some spidermites, though i did get the ones on the super boof completely removed by just removing infected leaves. The poundcake is not boasting as great, since I have to remove the odd leaf every other day. So far They were fairly tame. The did not infect the strawberry gorilla which seems to be way more pest resistant to me! Other than that I watered and fertalized every 2nd day using bottom watering. with a mix of normal topsoil spraying. I feel like they can absorb more of the liquid that way. I let them sit for around 1hr. Super Boof is catching up pretty fast. I am really hopefull, that she will also be ready on the 26th of August. (The day I have to harvest all of them) For anyone who is interested, I have a FastBuds affiliate code, which would help me out alot with more grows in the future! CAM0 will give you 15% off of your purchase ontop of the freebee seeds you get anyways!

Cam0uflag3 Strawberry gorilla turned out to be my absolute favorite looking one. I do have to harvest my plants today, but I am able to keep one of 'em as a windows grow for the next 10 days. From the looks of it i will either continue to grow super boof or strawberry gorilla. While SG is further along, I think the esthetics potential is greater but I am still unsure. You can comment and reccoment me one or the other :)
