Week 8 is going great, started flush toward the end of week 7 on Zkittlez and OG Kush. Also started flushing Pink Kush CBD and Purple Punch at start of week 8. All are packing weight still and smelling very fragrant. Trichomes are starting to cloud out and I am planning on harvesting when trichomes are starting to amber.

changed with spaceled light , good result , girls loved it

Looking good so far, got a little bit of light burn at beginning of week but not to bad. Plants are really starting to shoot up now that the roots have hit the water. Topped all 4 at beginning of week 3 for LST prep. AC unit in tent is keeping it around 21 Celsius and water is keeping between 18-20 Celsius naturally so far. When the lights go up from 600w to 1000w though my tent will hit 25+ Celsius so I am currently testing a new water cooled thermoelectric peltier reservoir water cooler I built and I will be installing soon. So far testing it I can bring a 5gal bucket of water from 25 Celsius to 10 Celsius in about 6 hrs. So we will see what it can do with about 20gal of water in my set up once my lights get turned up. I will be posting pics/video once I get it all figured out. So far it’s way cheaper then a commercial water chiller and seems to work good.

Day 57: Forgot to get pics when watering. So some pics the next day. Water/Feed day. Each plant got 1 gallon with: 5mL per gallon Alaska 5-1-1 15mL per gallon Alaska 0-10-10 7.5mL GrowMore Seaweed Extract 15mL Blackstrap Molasses Plant 2 also got 1.25mL per gallon of AGT-50 Plant 3 also got 15mL per gallon of Liquid Culture Microbes Plant 4 got both and at the same amounts. I scratched into the soil of each pot 1/2 cup of Happy Frog Fruit and Flower Day 58: Took pictures. Plants are looking good. You can really see the difference in plant 1 compared to the other 3. Very few tops really pushed their way up on plant 1. Day 59: Water/Feed day. Again I didn't get pictures on this day. Each plant got 1 gallon with: 5mL per gallon Alaska 5-1-1 15mL per gallon Alaska 0-10-10 7.5mL GrowMore Seaweed Extract 15mL Blackstrap Molasses Day 61: This time I got some pics. You can really tell that the plants are in flower. They are developing a good smell and you can see trichomes starting as well. Water/Feed day. Each plant got 1 gallon with: 5mL per gallon Alaska 5-1-1 15mL per gallon Alaska 0-10-10 7.5mL GrowMore Seaweed Extract 15mL Blackstrap Molasses

13MAY2025:Pre-Flower. Curious how they will Stretch from now on.

Boom another 1 in the bag smoke report and weigh in will. Follow

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

The lit marker has been very sensitive as a seedling it has finally got hardened off and is looking healthy it took awhile but it’s coming around I know it’s gonna grow some gas for sure This past week was smooth sailing and I topped all the plants

I haven't done anything with her this week. Things are really speeding up now.

Hi guys it’s been 2 weeks since the last update. She has been growing at a nice steady pace. Not too much lateral growth but she is getting wider. Have used a few garden stakes for lst & have been leaf tucking and defoliating selectively. She is also in pre flower low lights already at 24/0 and have been giving a P/K spike in her nutrition to initiate flower. She is responding well to the feeds. No topping so she will be growing in all her glory how she is meant to grow. She’s stout and bushy and hasn’t given me any problems at all. Leaves are a nice rich green so she is all good no deficiency that I’ve noticed. What a strain! This was the first Autoflower I ever grew some years back so this is sentimental to me. I’ll be back next week now that we are off to the races. Thanks to fastbuds for the genetics. Won’t let you guys down Let’s grow!!!!

Hanging in the tent, looking great. Thought I'd try my hand at 'live' or 'raw' bubble hash using the frozen CO2 method. Worked well, great fun. Drying for the rest of the week. .......................................................................................................... Well I am ecstatic, delighted, and well pleased. The totals: - 185g of excellent flower - 3g of 'live' bubble hash - 2.3g of killer bubble - 1.2g of dangerous shatter There you have it. Would I get more or less if I had heavily trimmed or lollipopped? You tell me! Thanks for your friendly comments and attention to my grow.

Finally the stretched stopped. Cut about 10 tops bent about 20 with 90s. Still right in the lights. They are looking very happy even though they are so close to the light ( thanks to high c02 levels most likely.) Another week or 2 before I cut the temps and co2 levels down. Been trimming all leaves below light line. Stinky and brutally sticky I feel like Clark griswold with pine sap when ever I am bending the tops and such.. I think even with them being in the lights I will still get a few pounds of premium flower to smoke :)

Unfortunately I had to harvest the BADAZZ-CHEESE (=BADAZZ-KUSH x CHEESE) from BIG BUDDHA SEEDS early, because of looking bud-rot. The plant needed at least another 10 days to finish, she still had plenty of white pistils and would have gained in harvest weight and also produced more trichomes, if given more time. The final harvest weight of 31 gram dried bud, was still a VERY GOOD RESULT seen the circumstances. The buds are dank and have lots of trichomes, all in all a VERY NICE KUSH/CHEESE VARIETY!

Started out with a cheap grow light bulb while waiting on my grow light to arrive. She stretched a bit and had some trouble holding herself upright. Mounded the stem to give support and placed a fan blowing up the tent wall. Added 3 tsp of Fox Farm Happy Frog fertilizer to the pot and did some Real Growers Recharge on 5/4/22. Watering with 6ph dechlorinated tap water when dry. Seems to be every other day currently.

Dia 1 en maceta de 2lts. A la tierra le agregamos Great White para aumantar el crecimiento radicular, en pocos dias estiraran y se pondran muy bien

Plants took a few days to get stripped down. Missed the second week of flowering and stretching but oh well there is always next time. Very excited to see this canopy full of uniform buds its going to be a sight to behold haha.
