Four plant grow (we hope) of CBD Crack
All had tails when removed from paper towel, Anna was fastest and continues to be so.
Five gal pots for these done with the 3 gal
Just in passing, Anna only took a day on the paper towel, Becky about 2 days and the other two 3+ days. Yeah was getting nervous.
7/16 D2 All plants broke ground and shells off, looks like a four plant grow so far :)
D4 Things are going ok, all are up and growing. The moisture domes have been opened up, prob take them off in a couple of days when the second set of leaves show.
All seems well not a lot to say at this point, no disturbances no stress so far.
Domes are off RH @50% -60% DIY led lights still working great.
7/27 D12 Into 5 gal pots now under 300w MH at 13" humidifier in tent. Full feed today
7/29 D14 Lights to 450w height to 14" all ok next feed Rchrg/Si
8/1 D17 Not much to say nothing stressing them, happy plants.
Kind of stumbled on to something, my humidifier is not on the same circuit as the lights and extractor fan as sometimes I want to run it lights off door open when humidity gets very low. But if I forget the whole tent fills with vapor mist (RH 100%). I usually catch it within a hour or so but the plants seem to LOVE IT and come back standing so pretty. May be doing some good at this EARLY stage so I will play around with it a bit. Going to incorporate the two part feed here ( Si/Rchrg for one and full minus those for the next). If they take up too much water (less than every three days) I will add a water only cycle after full feed.
8/4 D21
Doing well just continuing on as always. Becky has really taken off almost an inch higher than the others.
8/6 D23 Ponytailing all last 5 hours of the "day" then removing at beginning until I get the canopy I want, prob 3 or four days.
Last feed Full next Rchg/Si
D24 Si/Rchrg feed 0.75g each
8/8 D25 Had to do some bending on Becky she is too tall for ponytailing alone to maintain a canopy. Bent, secured, and then ponytailed with the rest after recovery. Dont want to go chasing the edge of the pot with just bending for this plant so see where combining the two methods takes us.
8/9 As bad as its going outdoors , indoors I could not be happier. All are big plants but Celia is looking like a monster at 13" across. Pics are just after removing ponytail , one more day of that for sure maybe 2.
Furthering the switch to organic adding BioBizz Bio-Grow dropping Grow Big.
Next will be adding a fish mix but thats next month.
8/11 D28 End of week 4 as the plants are beginning to move into flower but not yet. Ending ponytail on Becky it has done all it can do by slowing down the main with nice secondary growth. One more day on the others as Celia is becoming a monster. Pics tomorrow on new week, still looks like veg though. Full feed in AM next feed biogrow-si-rchrg as I want to get those microbes moving.
8/12 D29 Ponytailing finish results were good. Plants spreading out nicely and switching to HPS as 2 are in flower and looks like all in a day or so. Ceila is just huge and the rest not far behind really.
Update:
Next feed biobloom/biogrow/si/rchrg think they will enjoy the extra nuets just a gut feeling but I really want to see how large these may get on organics so give em what I can. Light to HPS at 600w and I think they are ready for the flowering stretch to begin in a few days.
8/14 Secondary feed - retrain Becky due to growth just leaf tucking the rest
8/15 D32 Site not letting me comment pics so... in order of the uploaded pics
In inches:
Ceila - 19x19x11.5
Becky - 17x18x12
Deb - 15x17x12
Anna - 15x14x12
Canopy is flat only Becky is really trained and they are doing exactly as we wished.
BioBizz is fantastic I am seeing explosive consistent growth on all 3 grows, so aint no coinkydink
8/16 Going to be careful here adding a fourth fan for the underside and having my wife help with keeping an eye on the leaves for signs of danger. Try not to get blindsided by something we have haven't seen yet.
8/17 Raised lights and will be keeping a close eye on temps as this strain is susceptible to heat and some leaf curling is noticable. Ceila needed extra water, she just a big girl, so got an extra liter this morning. The others are fine. Looking forward to the new flowering ten next month, going to need that 4x4 space.
8/20 D37 Pics :
Ceila 22"x21"x15" Side and Top and she is not really much bigger than the rest weight wise
Full tent, this is why I just ordered a bigger boat... they just keep growing.
I am going to have them on bloom nuets and water until the new tent is set up in a couple of days hopefully.
The five gal pots are a real keeper just need a bigger tent for flowering, the 4x4 with sperate seedling and mini veg area will be fine.

8/23 D40 New 4x4 plus 1x4 germ and cloning area tent is setup and plants in the new home. They are looking better not being so jammed up and the light can even be moved up as the side coating is excellent, plenty of light. Climate conditions inside the tent are ridiculously easy to control just from the increased area inside may hold plenty of fans, humidifier, or whatever else is needed. Not to mention being able to stand inside the tent with the plants. The smaller tent is being given veg duties for the next rotation.
Fed Rchrg/Bio-bloom-grow just no deficiencies at this point to address, everything seems fine
8/25 D42 End of week First real haircuts for all , leafy strain but easy to work. Tried to get as many sites uncovered completely as possible yet keep the total under 5% so as not stress the plant too much. Worked on the bottoms (heh) of the plants so nothing will restrict air flow or hijack nuets,
Will replace these pics with better later, color correction is not as strong as we would wish.
8/27 Day 44
Finished light defoliation, about 3% of leaf mass, Buds are exposed air can circulate no need for further.
Could not be happier with how things are going after the difficulties of the summer. Further reducing nuet line up, Big Bloom, Kangaroots, will only be used at the beginning of the grow to get roots moving and biology off to a good start. Really thinking a 2 or three part organic feed is all I will need from mid-veg on. So pleased with the Bio-Bizz
No problems nor deficiencies to address
Today's feeding Bio-Grow (1 tsp/gal) Bio-Bloom (2 tsp/gal)
Working on the grow room today to add the smaller 32x32" tent that will serve veg duty from now on, getting a full spectrum 150 true watts LED to mitigate heat and power. No extraction at first wait and see how things go if I need will add a 4" line. Looking forward to next grow starting in a few days :)

8/28 Just new pics I had to have em out for clean up as Ceila and Becky are beginning fade and I wanted a closer look.
Increasing the fans a bit as they seemed moister than I would like on the interior. Cant really see any problems at this time
9/3 Day 50 of the grow
I cannot complain at all,reduced the nuet list to what they are getting from here out
9/5 Everybody always takes pics of their plants at their best thought it might help to see otherwise, well here they are at their worst.
Dried out intentionally as part of last stage of flower, like to get them conditioned for drying. Five minutes later all happy again after the water.
Fed Bio-Grow/Bio-Bloom/Karo syrup as a boost to bio
9/7 Re-adding Big Bloom (Fox Farms) to nuet mix, plants seem to be missing it and I agree. Once a week at 3 tps/gal
9/8 Fed each .75 gal full nuets
Moved Becky and Ceila towards edges to lower light to them. Seem very sensitive to it but the other two are just soaking it up so moving them into the center.
Pics later at lights out.
Greatly preferring the dark leaf pheno (Anna and Deb) over the light leaf (Becky and Ceila), Have two of each and the first grow was also dark leaf.
Plants are more compact, drink a little less, easier to maintain, and I think will end up producing at least as much as the larger sativa leaning plants.
Some defoliation on all
Changing nuet list add Fox Farm Happy Frog Cavern Culture 1-12-0 for the P think thats the nuet hole, three tablespoons top dressed one time application... for now.
See how it goes
9/9 Still looking for the cause of the top fading only on the light colored phenos think its P will address tomorrow, want a couple more weeks from these guys at least.
9/10 Looking better top dressed the Happy Frog 3 tbs/plant watered with Bio-Bloom 3tsp /gal and Big Bloom 3tsp/gal
9/13 D62
Just finishing the week things are pretty stable. Nuet issues resolved and buds building nicely taking on a more fuzzy appearance with straight new growth hairs.
Pics at lights out if I remember
Looking at 9/27 for a harvest date or at least its penciled in on the calendar. Next feed is full
9/16 Just any day now, week at the outside
9/18 0.5 gal water + 1 tbs karo just to keep the bugs happy
9/20 Harvest day tomorrow (Day70) will have pics and vid then, need the tent, the light specifically, to try and save a couple of outdoor plants in dire need of it.
They ready enough and and we need the space, so its time girls. Be a couple weeks before I have to move in the next bunch and I can clean the tent thoroughly beforehand so hope this works out.
*** CAUTION SHAMELESS ATTEMPT TO GAIN ATTENTION FOLLOWS ****
Heh If you would please check out my problem listed on the LSD 25 and please offer any comment you would like, I am out of ideas. Thanks folks
😎
I am thinking just because... separate feeding at 6.5ph, a drench to 10% runoff with 10ml/gal kangaroots and 5ml/gal bio-grow removing the Fish Mix.
Thats pretty much it for my guess. Something is afoul in the nuet uptake
Watson... the game is a foot! 😉
9/21 D70 Havesting
Our favorite CBD strain to date.
Great morning get up and go and excellent pain relief.
Nice citrus and pine flavors and smells just put the cherry on top.
What can I say, its the easiest growing strain I ever touched. Had it not been for my changing nuet methods halfway through there would have been zero issues. Again far prefer the dark large leaf (Indica) over the light narrow leaf (Sativa) phenos, they are just more resilient not to mention easier to trim. The light leaf is also more sensitive to heat and light in particular it seems to me in the presence of a bit of phosphorus deficiency. Yeah while trimming I found all the signs. That may have cost a few grams at worst though. Will be be ponytailing AND Fiming next grow on these, just seems to cry out for it.
Nice job Fast Buds
All done everything is either decarbed or in cure damn good grow. Did not over dry this time and the weight shows it.
Trying to get better at this.
*for some reason it wont let me update some fields so smoke description is here:
Smooth, pine, sweet and citrus undertones. Nice feel good from it that does not get in the way of your day
Was surprised how all this decarbed down to a bit over 9 oz and fit in a brown quart mason jar. Only kept out an oz for reasons in cure
@rhodes68, not a bad ide at all! I've been switchin from 10 to 20 L air pots it makes a huge diference, bigger roots = healthier plants and bigger yields 💚 love the cbd crack!
@SwedenX,
Thanks
The gain just from increasing pot size 66% (from 3 to 5 gallon or 19 liter) is remarkable though I will take all the credit I can get :)
It has me thinking about 7 gallon containers
Stunning!
It looks like a a load of Cricket bats, lol.
again, nice to see the CBD side of the plant, maybe I'm too newb to realise theres more, I'm still exploring the site.
CBD variants are something I plan on in the future when I have more experience.
Good work and I look forward to seeing what you have in the future.
@mr_h_kovert,
Thanks heck I have been down with some bug myself trying to get all the summer grows harvested and dried, still have two more plants to get this week... so thanks :)
@Zollies_zn,
Following, off to a good start I see.
The transplant problems is why I use coco fiber starter pots, love em.
Thanks lot of things seem to be coming together, the genetics are just the best with solid bones, I stopped trying to kill them, the 707 soil is performing marvelous, I stopped trying to kill them, Biobizz is just exceeding all expectations on all three grows, I stopped trying to kill them, and 5 gallon pots! (roots roots roots).
All I seem to have to do is be attentive and watch them for feedback. Easy peasy
Wish I could say it was a green thumb man would that be handy. :)
Good luck
