5.Grow: NewSetup Testrun 4 Fastbuds Aut.

tsf_homegrow 🇩🇪 11.10. - the leaves are slowly forming into their typical shape, I still haven't had to water them today but it will probably happen tomorrow, we'll see. 10.10. - They're doing well, standing stable on their own and swaying comfortably in the light breeze. I still haven't had to water them; we're at about 70% substrate moisture on average (measured with a cheap probe, so not very accurate). We'll see; if things continue like this, it'll take another two days before watering. 9.10. - I still haven't had to water them. Clearly, they were too generous when watering. But they're still doing quite well. 8.10. - nevertheless, things are slowly progressing... 7.10. - slight algae formation in the substrate, obviously a bit too generous when watering/before moistening the soil. This also explains why I haven't had to water them since then. 😅 Probably not for another 2-3 days. The lamp is now running at 70% and the problem with the heat has now gone. During the day when the lamp is on we have a pleasant 25-26 degrees. 6.10. - everything is still going well. It could be a bit warmer, but we're also at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter... 5.10. - the setup is running, currently the controller only controls the humidifier and the exhaust air. The lamp (300W) runs at 50% in an 18/6 cycle with 20 minutes of sunrise/sunset. The two recirculation fans are programmed, one is positioned to ensure no hotspots develop under the lamp, and the other to ensure the small plants receive a gentle breeze.

tsf_homegrow 10/18-9:25 p.m. - The week went well, and the repotting seems to have gone well too. Let's keep it up. Tomorrow, the tank will be filled. Then the next week can begin in a relaxed manner. Happy growing💛🏼 10/17-10:15 p.m. - Things seem to be slowly getting better. Hopefully, they've handled the stress of the repotting well and are really going strong these days. 10/16-9:20 a.m. - Things seem to be slowly making progress. Hopefully, they've gotten over the stress of repotting and are really going strong these days. 10/16-2:00 p.m. - We'll have to wait and see, let them get over the repotting first and settle in. It looks good, though. 10/15-10:20 p.m. - Repotted. They're now in 20-liter Autopot flexi pots. I used a good amount of mycorrhiza for repotting and 1.5 liters for watering with Nematodes. I'll fill the tank in the next few days and probably turn it on then. They should be rooting downwards and then finding water/nutrient solution at the end. Hopefully, from then on, things will run smoothly. :) 10/15-9:20 a.m. - They might be repotted tonight when they're dry enough, otherwise tomorrow. Otherwise, everything's fine. :) 10/14-9:20 a.m. - Everything's going well. I've spread them out as far apart as possible on the Drainmaster because the leaves are starting to touch at the top. 10/13-10:15 p.m. - they were watered. :) They were given a light dose of Athena Balance, Grow B & A, and a little CaMg. Since my tap water pH is relatively high, I used Canna pH- Grow to lower the pH. (The pH- values are only approximate, as I drew up 0.5-1 ml each into a 10 ml pipette and filled it with fertilizer solution. Last time, more than half remained in the pipette.) Used Nutrient solution EC 1.2/pH 6.2 ca. 200ml/plant They are all showing the first roots at the bottom of the growing pot and can hopefully be repotted into the 20 l pots of the autopot system for the next watering. 10/13-10:00 a.m. - This evening they're finally ready for me to water them for the first time since planting/watering them. Then I'll give them the first light dose of fertilizer. 10/12-9:00 a.m. - We're coming to the end of the first week. The lamp is on until 3:00 p.m., and tonight at 9:00 p.m. the light will turn back on, and day 12 will begin. They've grown quite well in the first week and developed their first leaves, the furthest one the rear Z-Up is now forming its third node.

tsf_homegrow 🇬🇧 October 23-25: The grow is going well, but this site is a mess. For over a week, I haven't been able to update anything. (Everything else works, every page, etc., except updating the diary.) That's why I don't feel like adding all that now. Fuck you, whoever's responsible for this site running, and the server operator too!!! Update everything so it actually works. I've had to read so many times in the last few weeks. Oops, something's broken! If you want to grow, this has to work, otherwise you can't convince anyone to use this site. Because it's no fun. 10/22 - The Autopot system is back on. The trays under the pots were empty again. The pots still have a good weight, but since they're growing faster and faster, I decided to leave it on for now. The EC in the tank is 1.3 and the pH is 5.8 (in case it rises slightly over time). Otherwise, I've plucked the shoots out from under the leaves where possible and tucked the leaves underneath. 10/21 - The plants are starting to thrive. The Autopot trays are almost empty, and the pots are still heavy enough that I probably won't turn the system on again until tomorrow or the day after. They should use up what they received the first time I turned the system on, and not be left standing in a permanently damp place. 10/20 - Half of the tank's contents simply disappeared into the pot overnight. By evening, only a few liters remained, just enough to cover the circulation pump at the bottom. I refilled the tank with 30 liters accordingly. But I'll turn it off for now; the pots are heavy enough. 10/19 - The tank is filled to 20 liters. I added Athena nutrients in the following order: Balance (10 ml), Grow B (26 ml), Grow A (26 ml), CaMg (8 ml), Cleanse (10 ml), and Canna pH- (7 ml). I turned it on and the trays are full. I hope the ladies will thank me for this over the next week. Happy Growing💛🏼

tsf_homegrow 2.11.-11:15 The week is drawing to a close. Everything is going as planned. Happy growing! 💛🏼 1.11.-They’re growing and thriving beautifully. The Papaya Cookies plant is now almost twice as big as all the others. I’ll prop the others up a bit tomorrow to even out their heights. I’ll wait to defoliate them until the stretch is over. 31.10.-Things are going very well. I cleaned the tank today and refilled it with 30 liters of flowering fertilizer nutrient solution. 26-30.10. Fuck you this was my last week! Ooops! It looks like something broke! Altitude readings in the diary are always average values at the start of the week; otherwise, approximately 50 liters have passed through the tank in the last 10 days.

tsf_homegrow 🇬🇧 11.8. another week done. The others seem to be slowly getting into a bit of a stretch too; I hope they catch up a bit more next week. 11.7. Papaya Cookies is still stretching despite the slight defoliation; the others could certainly take a leaf out of its book. It's time to pick up the pace a bit. Otherwise, things are still going quite well, apart from the burnt leaves and the minor pH issues, which hopefully won't have any major consequences before the end. 11.6. While lightly defoliating my Papaya Cookies today, I noticed a few burnt spots on the leaves directly next to the Adlights. 11.5. Things are still going very well, however, the Papaya Cookies are developing some brown spots. I suspect it's due to the fluctuating pH in the tank, as I've been mixing it down to 5.5-6, and then the pH rises to 6-6.5 during the week due to drift. I'm also unsure where my sweet spot for the pH is with my Lightmix/Coco/perlite mix. 11.4. I refilled the tank again, slightly increasing the fertilizer concentration. I'll run a similar setup next week, so you'll see the results then. 11.3. The other three also seem to be slowly getting into the stretch; hopefully they'll catch up a bit so that they all end up at the same height, otherwise I'll have to jack them up a bit after the stretch to even it out. 11.2.-21:25 Right in the middle of the stretch, Papaya Cookies is really taking off. I hope the others catch up a bit. Otherwise, everything is going according to plan. The Autopot system does its job as long as the tank is full, and the controller keeps the values ​​within the ideal range. Defoliation will only happen after the stretch. Nothing to do except watch them grow. Happy growing! 💛🏼 Heights: Z-Up: 33cm, Z-Up: 27cm, Frost Banger: 35cm, Papaya Cookies: 51cm

tsf_homegrow 11.16. the week is drawing to a close. Unfortunately, the Papaya Cookies has developed a few more spots, even though I've kept the pH consistently between 6 and 6.2 for the last two weeks. I lightly defoliated the top of the front Z-Up today so it gets a bit more light. I also refilled the tank with 30 liters this morning. Everything's ready so the coming week can start off well. 💛🏽 11.15. the Frost Banger seems to have developed a bit of a stretch after yesterday's defoliation. Let's see how much it stretches next week. The Z-Ups could be a bit bigger. But otherwise, things are still going very well. Happy growing! 😂 11.14. - 11:00 AM: I lightly defoliated all the plants and removed any undersized shoots that were too low down. 11.13. - 11:30 PM: I bent the main stem of the Papaya Cookies plant 90 degrees because it would otherwise grow too tall if it continued to grow. This also lowers the lamp slightly, bringing it closer to the other three plants. 11.12. It seems the three smaller ones are actually stretching a bit more. After only 3 days, the tank was empty enough that I refilled it today with 30 liters and the same dose of fertilizer. Happy growing, and fingers crossed that the three smaller ones will grow as big as the Papaya Cookies. 11.11. Things are progressing well. The Frost Banger now has a side shoot that's higher than the main stem. The Z-Ups are unfortunately the smallest; I hope they grow to about 5-15 cm, that would be nice. I also took a picture of the spots on the Papaya Cookies. I suspect they're from the fluctuating pH level over the last few weeks. When mixing the water for the tank, I always started with a low pH and let it rise throughout the week. Now I'm keeping it more constant between 6.0 and 6.5. And I've minimally defoliated the three smaller ones at the bottom. 11.10. Things are going well. 11.9. Today I refilled the tank with 30 liters after 5 days. It's still going quite well. I'm curious to see what the final result will be, but I suspect they'll need longer than 8-9 weeks. Anyway, happy growing! Heights: Papaya Cookies 82cm; Z-Up 47cm; Z-Up 39cm; Frost Banger 45cm

tsf_homegrow 🇩🇪 22.11. The week is drawing to a close. The Papaya Cookies will probably be ready a week or two earlier than the others, so I’m wondering how best to rinse her, since all four are in the same tank. I’ll probably just let her sit a little longer so the other three get what they need over the next few weeks and I don’t have to rinse them too soon. 21.11. Not much to report, it’s going well. 20.11. Everything went more or less according to plan. Except that the Papaya Cookies seems to be a week or two ahead of the other three. Otherwise, things are going very well; the Frost Banger is still stretching and only needs another 10-15 cm to catch up with the Papaya Cookies. The two Z-Ups are very evenly spaced on the left side of the tent, although they could have been a bit bigger. 19.11. Tank refilled with 30 liters. Slightly increased the PK level; will run for approximately 1-2 weeks max, then it’s time to flush. New fertilizer ratio: Balance: 0.6ml/l; Bloom B: 1.4ml/l; Bloom A: 1.4ml/l; PK:1.5ml/l; CaMg: 0.5ml/l; Cleanse: 0.3ml/l 18.11. Not much to report. The tank is more than half empty again; I’ll probably fill it up tomorrow. 17.11. Everything’s running smoothly. 16.11. It’s slowly starting to smell nice when the tent is opened. The next few weeks will be wonderful again. Highs at the start of the week: Papaya Cookies 82+19=101cm; Z-Up 54cm; Z-Up 51cm; Frost Banger 65cm

tsf_homegrow 11.29. next week is over. Happy Growing! 💛✌️ 11.28. in progress 11.27. Continues as before 11.26. Refilled the Tank 11.25. Nothing to do 11.24. Watching it grow 11.23.-9:30 PM: The week starts with the tank almost empty again, so I cleaned and refilled it. Happy growing!

tsf_homegrow 12.6. another week gone by. Papaya Cookies, hand-washed. PK: 1.5ml/l, Fade: 1.5ml/l, 1-2l morning and evening. 12.5. Tank filled. Papaya Cookies, hand-flushed. PK: 1.5ml/l, Fade: 1.5ml/l, 1-2l morning and evening. 12.4. Removed a few leaves from the bottom that were already crispy. Papaya Cookies, hand-flushed. PK: 1.5ml/l, Fade: 1.5ml/l, 1-2l morning and evening. 12.3. Today I watered the Papaya Cookies with Athena Fade for the first time to flush them for the last 14-21 days. PK: 1.5ml/l, Fade: 1.5ml/l, 1-2l morning and evening. 12.2. Today I disconnected the Papaya Cookies from the AutoPot system; from now on, they will be watered by hand. 12.1. is still going well. 11.30. Refilled the tank again. Otherwise, nothing to do except check on everyone :)

tsf_homegrow 🇬🇧 12.13. another week has passed. The Papaya Cookies will be ready in the next few days next week, at least the top half. The rest will remain for up to another week. The other three will get another 12-15 days. Papaya Cookies: Hand-washed, PK: 0.75 ml/l, Fade: 0.75 ml/l, 1-2 liters morning and evening. 12.12. Papaya Cookies: Hand-washed, PK: 0.75 ml/l, Fade: 0.75 ml/l, 1-2 liters morning and evening. 12.11. This morning I refilled the tank with 30 liters - Balance: 0.6 ml/l, PK: 1.5 ml/l, Fade: 1.5 ml/l, Cleanse: 0.3 ml/l. I hand-rinsed the Papaya Cookies: PK: 0.75 ml/l, Fade: 0.75 ml/l, 1-2 liters morning and evening. The first week of flushing for the Papaya is complete, so I'm only using half the dose compared to last 7 days. 💛✌️ 12.10. Papaya Cookies, hand-flushed. PK: 1.5ml/l, Fade: 1.5ml/l. 1-2l morning and evening. 12.9. Papaya Cookies, hand-flushed. PK: 1.5ml/l, Fade: 1.5ml/l. 1-2l morning and evening. That completes the first week of flushing. 12.8. Papaya Cookies, hand-flushed. PK: 1.5ml/l, Fade: 1.5ml/l. 1-2l morning and evening. 12.7. This morning I checked the papaya cookies for trichomes. The peel was empty, as usual. So I added another 1 liter. PK: 1.5 ml/l; Fade: 1.5 ml/l. In the evening, the bowl of papaya cookies is empty again, so it's refilled with 1.5 liters of water.

tsf_homegrow 12.20. Another week gone, probably just next week, then they should be finished one after the other. 12.19. Removed a few dead leaves at the bottom, otherwise everything as before. 12.18. Still going well. The papaya cookies are now being rinsed by hand, simply with tap water. For just a few days, the slightly unbalanced pH won't do any harm. 12.17. Papaya Cookies are half harvested; the lower part will continue to grow for up to another week. 12.16. Tomorrow, part of the Papaya Cookies will be harvested. The others are doing well and are all still growing. :) 12.15. Papaya Cookies are now only getting pH-adjusted tap water. 12.14. The week is starting well; it smells wonderful when opening the tent. Papaya Cookies will be harvested throughout the week.

tsf_homegrow 🇬🇧 12.26. Trimmed and jarred the first Papaya Cookies shoots. The rest will be harvested tomorrow afternoon. 🤩💛✌️ 12.25. Almost there! 12.24. The final days are ticking away… 12.23. Refilled the tank with pH-adjusted tap water. It will be fine for the last 2-6 days without any extra nutrients from the fade. 12.22. The decorations are out again. Just a few more days and it’s done. 12.21. I checked the trichomes again today. They’ll get another week or two. The rest of the Papaya Cookies will be harvested tomorrow. And then I’ll give the Frost Banger a makeover for the Fast Buds Xmas Photo Contest 2025. 🎄😂💛✌️

tsf_homegrow Just a few more weeks to wait until they are flavorfully ripe. 😆💛✌️
