Free seed I got with my order from fastbuds. Did the layered soil again with seedling mix and underneath regular plagron terra light. Germed perfectly. Had soms weird shaped first leaves (not the baby leaves). She is doing fine. Grows surprisingly fast. looking forward to this one since most of my order from fastbuds was fucked up either by my cats or an unlucky draw.

Nothing much to say. I deliberately did not water them this week to see what the results is and she is still not showing any signs of stopping or water shortage. I can only imagine she is really digging around with her roots to get all the water out of it. I will probably water her in the next few days because I don't want to damage her. I wanna push her, just no damage. Not sure if it is paying off but she easily doubled in size over 7 days. So nothing much to say besides she is sitting near the window, getting the sun she needs and getting support of the CFL for the rest of days.

She shot up hard again and had to give her a bunch of water opposed to last week where she was just running on fumes. Watered twive. Once with nutes, the other with molasses. Weather is warm, humid but sunshine is a bit missing. Its bright enough though. Saw the beginning of a defect on the lower leaves. Not sure what it is yet. Going to monitor the next week.

She is growing fast but she is also the target of many pests since she is 24/7 outside now. No more lamps and such. I have seen: - aphids - leafminers - some kind of tiny black fly - something that creates pin holes in my leaves - something that creates larger holes in my leaves (suspecting snails, but not finding slime trails) what I have done against them - ladybugs, squashing - monitoring - squashing - nothing yet - i have some bio granulate that is pretty good. need to poor this tonight. general: leaving them in the rain however its hard to control everything so: I am on the fence on using a pesticide. I have done some extensive reading on the active ingredients (acetamiprid 5g/L) in the pesticide I still have at home. According to what I can find there is very little toxicity for humans but it will murder some beneficial insects (bees will not die from it, they will not feel good as well tho) but casualties should be non existent or minimal when spraying in the evening. I know this is a topic many people have very strong opinions on (me as well, as I try to avoid using pesticides like this). The product should be active up to 4 weeks (read 3 weeks) and should be out of the plant afterwards. So spraying at the beginning of flower should give some piece of mind. also: TIL, 1tsp != 1tbsp. so if anybody is wondering: you will not murder your plants by giving them 15ml regularly over the cours of its life....

She is going into flower and is shooting up like mushrooms. Hard rain/scorching sun seems right up her alley. Circle LST some more but need to bind the leaves as well. CBA atm, maybe next week. Gave some more nutes since the rain did a number on flushing the ground. I made a greenhouse from electrical tubing and some wood I had laying around, going to get some plastic foil to make a rain shelter when she gets into full flower. The rain however has been good for the pests which have been decimated. Speaking of. I saw 1 ladybug larva scurrying around on the stem and found some more ladybug eggs which I have placed near the stem. Lets hope they hatch and exterminate any remaining aphids.

fuck.this.weather. - 0 sun - lots of rain - cold - windy - humid Still, growth was there and it doesn't seem to bother them yet. Its a bit harder regulating the nutes with this weather but it is what it is. On the plus side the rain + the garlic really keeps the pests at bay. So still holding off with spraying that pesticide I talked about previously. I just need to keep in mind that IF I am going to use it I need to do it minimum 4 weeks before harvest to be 'safe'. Let's just hope we can keep it as is. This plant in particular is doing quite well. I am beginnen to see a pattern. Every cycle I get 1 big girl and 1 smol girl :P Some intens LST this last week but I was a bit too late with it. Didnt get the stem to twist enough like I had with my cheese resulting in a bit of an uneven canopy. Should not be much of an issue though.

Same like last week because I kinda skipped a week so this one is pretty quick in succession. So most of the information is the same however I have now added flower feed. Next week will be flower feed only i recon. Pics are from beginning of previous week so expect pistils to be much more prominent next week. Also found a weird moth

Another week. The weather has been really bad. rain clouds blabla. This is al fine and dandy as long as there are no flowers and since we are currently 2 weeks into flower I needed a solution. So I made a rain shelter with some greenhouse plastics. So far so good. Wondering how it will hold up during wind gusts or even a storm. plastic is easily replaced and cheap but I'd rather not create too much waste. Then regarding the pests problem: It was the last week I could spray them IF I needed to do so and I did. I think the plant took a hit from the shitty weather allowing pests to thrive? Dunno. Anyway with the shelter and the pests getting a bit out control I sprayed them and now I am forced to harvest the earliest on 12 weeks. But I am going to try to aim for earliest 13 weeks, just to be sure although it states on the packaging that it is not harmful to bees/animals/humans... Now on to the plant: she is doing fine. Leaf tucked a bit so all cola's get delicious sunshine. Upped feeding and water. With the shelter I also have a bit more control over the watering process because they have gotten LOTS of rainwater which might have flushed them a couple of times. Anyway frost is starting to show on the leaves. the smell is distinct lemony. Maybe the hardest lemon smell I got from a plant. Main cola is starting to show some flowers that are fattening so I added the plagron green sensation to this one already. I had some great results with it last grow.

Frost is clearly setting in. The plant is a bitch to handle being so so sticky and so so smelly but I would not have it any other way. Weather seems to be boosting terp production. So for all the shit I talked about the weather it is actually doing pretty good. Built a shelter so the plants are not in the rain anymore but still quite in the 'open' Green sensation doing wonders again. Fattening her up nice. I like my girls plump ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Did some agressive LST. Might even be considered HST because I had to twist a branch so much I split it along the branches length. But the twisting closed the split again so I am hoping the branch recovers from it. The reason I had to do this is because I slacked on my circle LST and I didn't twist the main branch enough resulting in side branches being top and bottom of the plant. This had as results bud sites were too cramped and I don't want any bud rot. I'm actually really curious as I am typing this because I haven't checked in on her after doing this. Might update later. Kinda like how she looks now though. Lots of yellowing fan leaves, thought it was a deficiency but I think its just the difference between breeders. RQS doesn't have this as much while I have it on 2 different plants/strains from fastbuds and I am not noticing any issues for the rest.

Quick summary of what happened and whats to come: - no update the past weeks because holiday - weather is humid and hot so bud rot fear is real but haven't seen nor smelled anything funky. I am keeping them out of the rain under a shelter and move them in the direct sun as much as possible to keep humidity levels low. - the split branch from week 9 healed up in a matter of days - Had a nitrogen defect which I thought at first was just the fan leaves dying because of life cycle end and also because the calmag has a source of nitrogen as well. Boy was I wrong. (luckily this one wasn't as fucked as the other). Fixed by adding 1.5ml veg feed again. Kinda feel like a dumbass since it was textbook nitrogen deficiency... (so yeh, involuntary defoliation) The only positive is that the plant had some real nice sunburst colors. - The plant took a hit from the deficiency translating in airy buds and slower growth. Hoping to fatten them out some more in the next 2 weeks, we will see. - Because of veg feed I also fed the plant the usual so harvest day has been moved back 2 weeks - 2 weeks till harvest unless trichs say something else We will see how this one turns out. If the quality is there I don't mind having less total yield.

Finally a break from the scorching sun. Not before getting another issue => new pistils due to heat stress. I'm just gonna ignore it since I am in week 2 of flushing already. Not sure if buds swelled a bit. I like to think so but its probably going to be not that great. Can't win em all. overall humidity is rapidly rising outside with cooler nights resulting in more dew etc. Something that was an issue last year (that and the continuous rain last year :')) So its time to pack shop and chop.

Not sure what to do. The weather is getting quite shit: cold nights, mediocre days, lots of clouds, lots of rain. BUT She started growing more bud again but in the form of foxtails probably because the roots got too hot the past weeks when the outside was like the inside of an oven. So do i leave it another week or do i chop? I'll throw it in a grow question. For the rest its same old same old. flushing, waiting

The sun has been unrelentless and i think it caused some heatstress because pistils were starting to form again. A bit over a week later i can clearly see more bud forming. Sun has calmed down but weather is getting bad. What do? Chop or leave a bit more? Leaning to chop.

Hi, Bring your light up, check your temperature and continue with your harvest schedule. This can happen if your plants are too close to the light and heat problems. Foxtailing Try to fix this problems so there isnt further damage. Happy harvest!!

This is why the common recommendation is too observe trichomes. If she show deficiencies like she appears to be.. I would chopping sooner rather then later.. Starving plants and allowing them to process all available resources can lend itself to product that doesn't finish nicely or well at all. You will get very different information from different growers Like some folks aim for Amber that is 30% because it provides for a cough/couch lock experience... This will not fly very well in my area.. People prefer and know product should be and can be smooth.. Some people associate the coughing and the heavy feeling with "good" weed.. Experienced smokers/connoisseurs know the difference. Find your own preference..

You got a sweettooth? Seriously. Never before have I had such a sweet tasting strain. Its feels even sticky on the roof of your throat (not unpleasant) and everytime you inhale through your nose you keep tasting it. If I had not cooked the roots (was on holiday) this would have probably been a big girl again. For all she went through she did fine and I recommend it if you are looking for a possible high yielding sweet strain. I will be growing it again though. However it will be a hybrid because I got 3 seeds from it.

Start: - germination went perfect - veg state went perfect veg/flower: - transition went perfect - some aphid wars going on but cleaned that up Flower: - aaaand I fucked up. Went on a holiday got nitrogen deficiency without knowing and cooked the roots because the sun turned its dial to 11 in my absence. - Starting to question if smart pots are the answer for a semi outdoor grow. (already working on a solution) harvest: - some mold but really little so that was a bit of luck - airy buds vape: - not smooth - herby flavor - decent high. I wouldn't offer it to guests but for me its fine.
