@Fast_Buds, Thank you to the wonderful staff over at Fast Buds! This is by far one of your best contests and I look forward to it every year. But the biggest thanks go out to my handsome Mojo as this would not have been possible without him. While I’m enjoying this great prize pack, he will be munching on a few extra leaves the next time I defoliate… Fast Buds are PURRRFECT in his books and mine! 🥂Cheers to the other winners and all of the gorgeous pets in this contest!

Hey there friend. Congratulations on getting into growing cannabis! I think you are gonna really like it here at growdiaries. looking at your diary, Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1. 7 is getting up there out of the sweet spot This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. Happy growing friend!

@DoctorGreenThumb, it’s not that I’m uptight or lack a sense of humour- It’s that I’m tired of dealing with sh*t like this. DoctorGreenThumb, you seem to be quite popular on this website so why not use your influence in a positive way? Setting an example for your fellow male growers by respecting your fellow female growers. You can think whatever you want but keep those little jokes and hidden digs to yourself because it’s 2022 and it’s just not cool anymore.

@DoctorGreenThumb, Well gosh dangit Sally! This here buckaroo needs to head on back to 1850 where his mentality belongs. Women as pets… seriously dude?

@Miss_Greenthumbs_Garden, your pup is a favorite of mine! 🐶 My family has been looking for the right fit for sometime and Frenchies are at the top of the "want" list but I simply can’t justify the purchase price when there are so many great dogs in the local shelters. 😢 Your Frenchie is absolutely gorgeous though and you are blessed to have him/her as your grow room buddy! 🥂

good job👊

hope big buds mate!!
