Little effort put in = mega FastBuds results! __________________________________ **Introduction** Welcome to 2020-2021 winter run. I’ve decided to take some creative inspiration from some awesome growmie’s! @DreamOn, @FourTwenny designs their diaries so neat I want to tidy mine up. Hopefully give better insight to my preparation etc.. Also big shoutout to @Sensiboi he’s turns diaries into visual masterpieces check him out on YouTube https://youtube.com/c/ZhulenejTom **My Setup** 📌Grow Type☀️ - Indoor 📌Grow Medium🌴 - Soil (Canna Bio Terra) 📌Tent Size ⛺️ - 0.8x1.6m (just using half) 📌Light 💡 - ViparSpectra XS4000 📌Nutrients 🛢️ - Green Buzz Liquids 📌Misc ⚒️ - Intake (100mm 100cfm) - Exhaust (100mm 350cfm) - Oscillating fan above canopy - Stationary fan bellow canopy - Essentials PH meter (good one is important) - Cheap TDS meter (EC/PPM) From amazon —————- How I prepared the soil Before planting the seeds - I use 16L fabric pots from Root Nurse, 50L of Canna Bio Terra (any suitable soil will do) + 10L of Perlite and 1 Big Bucket —————— - First I put 7L of Straight Soil into each pot. - Second I mix the remaining soil (20+L) with 10L of Perlite and fill the pots. *as you can see my pots aren’t full. I will add some more soil on top of that as soon as all the girls have developed some “true leaves” ——————- Germination: - I like to germinate straight into the soil/coco. With auto flowers I’ve found it best to plant into last pot to avoid flowering too early. however I have transplanted with maximum success at harvest also. - 1.) I only use 100ml of two water with additives (Humic Acid Plus, More Roots, Growzyme) direct the water in the center of the Pot/soil slowly pouring to make sure the water doesn’t puddle much on the surface. - 2.) I take a pen/pencil and measure 1cm. I then press that in making sure to not go over 1cm. If I can see a little hole where the seed could fall deeper... I cover the hole and press it again to make sure it’s not deeper than 1cm. - 3.) After I’ve chosen the seeds I will use, I label the pot individually as I go checking the seed packet - writing the strain name - select pot. 4.) This Next part is personal preference but I do advise you use some method to wet seeds first soaking in individual shot glasses that are labeled with strain names is a preferred method but I swear by this method I will explain... it’s not technical in any manner all you have to do is put the seed in you mouth and suck on it for 5-10 mins.. your saliva has very strong enzymes that help break the seed coat. It works well for me that’s all I need to say. - 5.) Time to plant your seeds, understanding what way the seeds go in is important if you want them all to come up as fast as possible. Best way I can explain it is pointed end down flat side up. Once you have your seeds in the pots sprinkle the top of the hole with some soil as if you’re salting you’re steak literally a sprinkle... - 6.) Lastly spray 1 or 2 squirts over the top of that soil and cover the patch with a piece of plastic wrap used for sandwiches also known as cling film... *note if you have low humidity/high temps you may need to spray again but only very little maybe once or twice max

I started by adding 10 drops of EcoThrive - Neutralize (dechlorinarion/chloramine) Then I used my Calcium Magnesium product (Magne-cal+) I like to raise my base EC to 0.4 before adding any nutrients. **Note - I can see some brown spots where I have a slight Cal/Mag deficiency even in soil my Base EC is so low that I have to use some “CalMag” I’m not worried in the slightest as I’ve noticed the problem and will now deal with it accordingly. The leaves will not repair themselves but new growth will be vigorous👍 ——————————————— 📆3rd January Day 20 ✂️Topped plant at the 5th node, should hopefully have 10-8 tops per plant 💧Today I measured up 3L of water to that’s I added - 1g of living organics - 2ml/L More Roots - 0.5ml/L CalMag I fed this mix mainly to the tray so that the bottom of the fabric pot sucks up the mix, also a splash to the stem.

So I had to run her again! 💧My watering today consisted of a total of 2.5L each plant - 1.5L to the trays for the root zone to absorb straight away. - The next 1L straight to the base of the stem. That’s the first time my girls have had water poured directly in the centre of the pot in 3 weeks... - 0.5ml/L MagneCal+ - 5ml/L Humic Acid Plus - 3ml/L Growzyme - 2ml/L More Roots - 1ml/L Organic Grow Liquid __________________________________ 📆10th January Day 27 📌Some leaf tucking and turning of the pots to encourage lateral branching. Ground stakes made from stiff wire used to hold branches down. I will continue this to try and spread the branches out towards the edge of the pot. 💧I watered with 2L fed to the tray, the solution was quickly sucked up by the soil. I now prefer watering this way and will continue to do so. - 0.5ml/L MagneCal+ - 5ml/L Humic Acid Plus - 3ml/L Growzyme - 2ml/L More Roots PH6.5 EC420

Water them accordingly to when they need it. **I find the finger in the soil technique a bad one. The best way to understand when your soil needs watering is to; have a bag of fresh soil in a pot the same size - weigh the pot or lift it to get a good feel of the weight - whatever that the maximum weight you want the pot to be before watering again IMHO. __________________________________ 📆14th January Day 32 📌More leaf tucking, removed some leaves from the lower section.

I’m letting them grow up to the light all day, just before lights off adjusting it up ⬆️ **However you could wait until the lights come to adjust them to the suitable height if you’re able to do that. 💧2L fed to the tray plus 1L to the top soil. - 0.5ml/L SiliconMax - 0.5ml/L CalMag - 3ml/L Humic Acid Plus - 3ml/L More Roots - 3ml/L Growzyme - 1ml/L Organic Grow Liquid - 2.5ml/L Organic Bloom Liquid - 2ml/L Big Fruits - 1g/10L Living Organics PH6.5 EC1.4 __________________________________ 📆21st January Day 39 📌Using an app I bought called Korona (wtf name) I’m able to test the PPFD of my light and now it’s about trying to get that sweet spot it terms of height, coverage & power% 💧2L fed to the tray plus 1L to the top soil. - 0.5ml/L CalMag - 3ml/L Humic Acid Plus - 3ml/L More Roots - 3ml/L Growzyme - 1ml/L Organic Grow Liquid - 2.5ml/L Organic Bloom Liquid - 2ml/L Big Fruits PH6.5 EC1.4 __________________________________ 📆23rd January Day 41 Ok so this weeks feed looks mental I know, I’m adding all this other stuff to try and get the best shot at plant health through flower. I’ve noticed all my plants except 1 looking a little sad. The reason I have been feeding the way I have is the low temperatures I face. It is currently still winter so I’m battling with cold temps during early stages of life is a bit of a struggle. The ratios of the nutrients below are to give a little of everything plus some added NPK to boost the current need for nutrients during the stretch. Hopefully no burn fingers crossed will monitor closely them over the next few days to see what effect this has. 💧3L of nutrient mix below fed to each plant. - 0.5ml/L Rhizotonic - 0.5ml/L Hydroguard - 0.5ml/L Liquid Karma - 1ml/L CalMag - 3ml/L Humic Acid Plus - 3ml/L More Roots - 1ml/L Organic Grow Liquid - 3ml/L Organic Bloom Liquid - 0.2ml/L Canna PK13/14 - 2ml/L Big Fruits PH6.5 EC1.4 > > > > > > > * After checking the Run off EC fro the first time I noticed it was 2.8 so I decided to run another 2L of a lighter mix through the pots - 3ml/L Growzyme - 3ml/L Big Fruits - PH6.5 I did this to entirely soak the medium without using too much nutrient salts which I have added this week. * I have also defoliate and lily popped all my girls to reduce the popcorn buds. * Light is 28” on 75% to try and get a little more stretch out of them. * The next time I feed these girls should be in about 3-4 days I will be giving no base nutrients this time round but I will be making a tea with living organics and molasses.

At one point it got really cold the humidity dropped to 16% so I started to do some research on the effect of humidity. I’m now learning about VPD and how important it is for plant health... Soo.. I had to buy a humidifier, and within a few hours set at 60% the RH on my Hygrometer was +40% so I’m content that I can get better health all round now. I also have a dehumidifier from a while back that I will use later in flower if needed. No feed yet they had a massive dose of water 4 days ago so we’re just waiting for that to be used up. And then it’s time for the 1st PK spike.

Little effort put in = mega FastBuds results! __________________________________ 📆1st February Day 51 We are Into week 8! Finally I’m seeing some rejuvenation. Can you tell the difference...? I have added a humidifier and upped the RH to around 50% which has helped with the slow flowering/growth problem I’ve been having with these low temp low RH values. Last time I checked run off I was in the high 2’s I want to bring that down now over the next few weeks. I decided to brew a tea, I couldn’t find my air pump so I’ve just mixed everything together and let it stand in grow room for 24 hours. I then fed 💧3.5L to each pot (EC0.7). A little run off came out of each pot measured around 1.5EC Now I’m happy to feed my base nutrients again. The tea mix as follows: 2g living organics 1tbsp Molasses 2tbsp Guanokalong powder 3ml/L Humic Acid Plus 4ml/L Big Fruits PH6.5 EC0.7

Little effort put in = mega FastBuds results! __________________________________ 📆8th February Day 57 I’ve been thinking and trying to puzzle together what happened since the veg period to flower... I had super low Humidity which was drying out my soil very quickly even when the plants were small. This in turn left salt deposits in the soil, which dropped the PH of the soil and has caused some lockout of calcium and magnesium. I don’t think my nutrient ratios are wrong. I think lime green and slow growth is down to my environment factors like temp and humidity. As soon as I increased both I saw some improvement. Nothing ventured nothing gained. By the look of all the plants I have a nice harvest to look forward to. Just need to be very careful now as the lady’s have had quite an amount of stress in there short life. Looking at 3 weeks till chop by my estimations. 💧3L of mix to each plant. 1ml/L Calmag 3ml/L Bloom Liquid 1ml/L Bud Candy PH6.6 EC1.5

Little effort put in = mega FastBuds results! __________________________________ 📆14th February Day 63 Gorilla Cookies looking and smelling divine. Typical shape for the strain, last time I guess I had a slightly different phenotype because I noticed the pistil shape is thinner and more wispy than last time and the buds are shaped slightly differently when growing. The same is to be said about the Strawberry Pie. However the Sour D is as expected looks like every Diesel plant I’ve grown to date lol Other than that I have started my leeching period using only 3 products and some water. Here below is a what I’m finishing with. 3ml/L Humic Acid Plus 3ml/L Growzyme 4ml/L Big Fruits PH6.7 EC? (Don’t care to check EC, but low) **TIPS & TRICKS: We’ve all been learning how to grow weed together. Would I want to grow a tomato plant like I do cannabis? NO! Why? I don’t like tomato... when it comes doing something you love to do.. you try and find ways to improve so its nice to read, watch or listen to other growers tips and tricks. Here are some of the tricks I use and have refined them to suit me and my environment. I will make sure to update as we go. Here’s a trick I use... when I’m getting close to the harvest window and I’m growing in soil I like to reduce the temps low to increase THC production! (but I personally only let it get cold, when my plants have used all the moisture in the pots. So the day before I plan to feed I like to open the window/turn off heater...)

Little effort put in = mega FastBuds results! __________________________________ 📆 1st February Day 78 WEEK 12: The last pictures before I harvested these girls. As expected the water uptake was minimal during the last weeks of their life so this is the important time to reflect on how we fed the plants during the life cycle. The last phase of the cannabis plants life is by us growers considered the ripening period. So during this time the buds are actually using all the nutrients in the leaves. If there are too many nutrients in the medium we run into problems like “Nutrient lockout”. Also to add to that we get bad tasting buds. There are many negative effects when we overfert during the last weeks of the plants life. Trickle feeding and generally under feeding during the flowering period are preferred methods to produce the cleanest healthiest buds. So to sum it up yellowing leaves are not a sign of plant death and we should not put too much effort into “fixing” the problem, but more effort on solving it. I hope that makes sense (if not ask me?!) If you asked me am I happy how this grow turned out, I would say yes 100% I’ve learned a lot like I do every grow. I would never say I’m pro level grower! I don’t want to talk like I am a pro, I just like to think I have a lot of useful knowledge and lots of time time spent practicing and researching. Lots of trial and error... lots of problems. So that’s why I’m happy with my results, even if they don’t look so good as other growers. Be thankful for what you have. Hope everyone is keeping well and grow on with confidence in yourself. Peace and ❤️

Week 12. Harvest
4 years ago
Happy Harvest Day!
Rated
10/10

***APPEARANCE*** Like the chunky buds pre harvest that same chunkiness follows to the cure. The buds stay fat and compact. Gooey on both the outside and within, when you crack a bud the millions of trichomes covering these buds ooze apart from each other. A great strain for fruity extractions to say the least. Both times I’ve grown this girl she has been a wonder. Was looking forward to harvest the minute I took a whiff of her beauty... which leads me to... ***AROMA*** This time I’m getting a much stronger glue/skunk stench from her but the obvious cookies profile still shines through. It’s a strong point of this girl, out of the 4 strains this is probably my favourite when it comes to the smell, closely followed by the strawberry pie. ***FLAVOR*** Wow, just intense sweetness with that cheesy skunky taste that we know so well. Some cannaseur like the Gas I like those sweet and fruity notes the most and this is a contender for some serious terpene profiles. ***EFFECT*** Great for stress, 1 spliff wonder! I say this with 100% truth. The medication It starts when you take the bud out of the jar, even before when you crack the jar open for the first scent to hit your nostrils. “Peace at last” That’s how it makes me feel. But the effect is very calming as your enjoying smoking the Joint I also like to smell the remnants of what’s left the grinder to really indulge in the whole effect. Thank you for reading my review please leave a comment if you enjoyed!

hey can i ask a question i germinated one gorilla cookies last week saturday or sunday if i remember im new to growing have only made it out with 1 harvest now on my 2nd try... the thing is that i couldnt ever get a seed pop out the soil normally i always have to dig the soil to pull the seed out and put it more closer to the surface... im starting loose hope now as it looks like its roots stopped developing the thing i want to ask you is should i use my leds for 24h straight before sprout and how long did it took u to see the seed comming out of the soil? hope u can help me out im really confused right now... im growing in soil biobizz light mix 400w led having a humidifier about to use it when it sprout if its ever will... i already have a 2nd gorilla seed germinated just in case the seed wont open its cotelydon or try to break through the shell im just waiting for the 2nd for the taproot to get longer so i can plant it... i heard from a guy that i should never get the seed out of the soil to check it but i did it in every grow i tried should i just wait or dump the germinated seed thats in soil and pop out the 2nd one and only spray when its needed

@eksdee, I do not water again until the seeds are out of the surface. I do spray once or twice to keep surface moist but not wet. And yes half bottles will work perfectly. I just advise you to avoid disturbing the soil. When germinating seeds 72 hours is 3 days not “planted Monday so they should be up by Wednesday” you have to be super patient and not dig around. (I will admit that I do often scratch the surface to check if the seeds on its way up, but I’ve had 100s of successful germinations so I guess It just comes with experience. I will also add that I’ve killed seeds by doing this. And also by taking the seed coat off. You can get something that’s called “helmet head seedling” that’s forced me to remove the seed coat ultimately breaking the seed)

@eksdee, Yes I do leave the lights on just to keep temp/humidity consistent. I will keep them on 24hr till the plant is 10-14 days old

@eksdee, Hi, it can be quite a pain to get the right method!! But the #1 thing is patience!! Different things work for different people. For me I get 100% succes with just putting the seed straight in the soil. 3-4 days later there up... I prepare the soil before I plant the seeds NOT by watering the whole pot but by using only 100ml of water to the center of the pot. Then I use a pen/pencil to poke a hole in the moist soil... 1cm is deep enough. Any deeper you can lose seeds. I also use my mouth to wet the seeds first, I suck on them for a couple of mins then put them in the hole and cover with a tiny sprinkle of soil. Then I cover the surface with a piece of Plastic wrap/cling film

i also think it stopped developed cause i need to spray her like every 1 and a half hour or even less and i missed some time and the top of the soil got dried out thats what makes me think i should dump her and be more consinsent with the 2nd one and dont disturb her while in soil

@eksdee, spraying this much for a seed will drown it.
