Came in on Monday this week after first round of feeding the Friday before and the plants had all gone into full flower mode. They seem to be doing pretty good! It's been pretty hot this week but I feed just water every other day or when the soil is dry and feed them fertilizer every other watering with 1/4-1/2 strength

No issues throughout life cycle. Harvest a little on the small side, but tends to happen with some exotics.

7 months after planting her from seed the day is finally here. A little earlier than I would of liked due to insects (crickets/grasshoppers eating buds) but she's thereabouts finished. Probably lost 1/3 of buds from the chewing insects but still a big yield and my drying room is full 😊 She survived two rainy season's and some serious wind from a tropical depression back in September. I have kept this grow completely organic so no pesticide or chemical fertilizers used. Apart from heavily amending the soil at the start I mostly fed her crabmeal once a month and seaweed and molasses in most waterings. A few of those waterings were diluted with my urine 😆👌 NPK right!? Why not.. then at the end I added a cultured pro biotic yogurt to the soil 2 days before I harvested. (Tip from a fellow grower @med_in_tropic - thanks bro) Not sure if it made any difference as I cannot compare with another plant but, the plant starting smelling like lemon furniture polish.. like a lemon scent with a fuel undertone. Almost menthol like 🤷‍♂️.. smells amazing. Me and my wife drank tea from the trimming and the citrusy flavour came though into the tea which was nice. Weather wise the temperature is down now to around 16c at night with RH around 50% so the buds should dry much slower than the last harvest so I should get a better flavour profile. Smoke report to follow after she has been in a jar for a week or so.. I did try a bud sample a few weeks back and the taste then was already pleasant so for sure this will be fire... 🔥 Thanks for all the kind comments, this was my first ever grow start to finish. Already looking forward to next season 😁

She's doing well this week. 16cm vertical growth.

Right then 7 weeks of flower complete. I'll dive right in to the juicy bits as this week has been predominantly about deciding weather to chop or keep one of my girls going. In the end I chose to do both! As the photos and videos show the plant wasn't recovering so I checked the trichomes and it was actually pretty ripe. A few Amber's on the upper buds. Lowers still undeveloped so I decided to take the biggest and leave the smallest for another week or while ever the plant is healthy. I estimate I've taken around 7oz once dry. Depending how they swell up I'm hoping for a further 5oz of solid bag worthy nugs. Looking nice and frosty, smell is that typical sweet haze with some sour diesel/fruit kick in there. You can see how the photos progress my hands getting covered in resin. Got to give my other 3 some love as they are getting healthier and fatter. I'm thinking another week on one of them and 2 on the others. I'll more than likely stagger the harvest like tonight if it proves worth while. I will update mid week.

Welcome back all, following a week that has been a fairly straight forward seven days or so in Fat Yappa's Garden, as the older Bruce Banners reach day 51, day 44 for the runt of the sisters, planted on the same day but that took a week longer to germinate, and day 42 for the two Wedding Cheesecake's, one growing in Coco Coir, the other in the same living soil as her Bruce Banner Fastbuds cousins. The week began with last weeks humidity issues brought well and truly into hand with the addition of the new 20L dehumidifier from Meaco, specifically designed for the UK weather. However a shift in the aforementioned from the falls dawn of an early spring, to a return to more usual climate conditions for this time of year through things off kilter once again. Despite pulling around 6L of water out the air a day, she was struggling to keep the RH down to around 50% with my central heating returned to its usual position of 18c, but an increase to 20c has taken things back in line, and the humidity has returned to the mid 40's I was aiming for. Humidity concerns during this off period however, and a subsequent inspection below the top layer of the canopy, which resulted in the discovery of quite a lot of whitish, moist growth, prompted a mass defoliation, mostly of the Bruce Banners. I had been performing very light defoliation up until this point, only removing dead/almost dead leaves, and very select leaves from the top of the canopy that were blocking what looked like bud sites, but the lack of light and air getting through past the top layer, together with the fact that now bud sites are far clearer to a novice such as I, lead me to the conclusion that the time was right. Besides the runt, all these plants have not even skipped a beat. The runt has been a bit droopier in her leaves than the others all in all, but I have looked in on them and seen her with leaves pointing up and praying a few times since so I trust all is well. Following the defoliaton on day 47, the plants stuck to their two day watering schedule, but di threatened to need an increase to daily, as day 50 saw waterings a mere 24hrs after the previous day, but feeling the weight of the pots yesterday I elected to wait til 48 hours to water again. The water amounts per plant has also become more erratic than previously, so I have been watering more carefully. Other than that the week has been pretty much plain sailing, and what look like to be some big looking flowers coming up all over the canopy, as all bar the Wedding Cheesecake in living soil are now fully in flower, but she will be there by next week. The Bruce banner I accidentally snapped the top off from the second node down doing LST a few weeks ago seems to be about half a week ahead of the other two of the same age, and trichomes have began to appear on the leaves around the buds. The biggest plant in the tent is still the wedding Cheesecake in Coco coir, as she now stand a metre tall and her top is the same level as the light now. Her size is a concern because it has caused me to neglect her in favour of the other plants, certainly in terms of light, but she doesn't seem to have any more bud sites than the other plants, and for the time being at least, her older cousins are leaving her to shame in this department, but she still has a week to catch up. Lastly, day 39 saw another compost tea feeding, the same recipe as last time. Happy growing everyone, and I will catch you all again next week.

They're still getting acclimated to their new homes, a little droopy but nothing major.. we've increased their feeding slightly and started adding trace amounts of calmag (<2mlgal) and we're now just watching them closely for any type of light stress..I really should have up-potted these sooner but spilled milk lol, I'm still on the fence on how we'regoing to train these, but we may just do our standard 4way LST after topping each at node #2 (after 4+ nodes).... we'll update again midweek, thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️🌱 ⚡Mars Hydro/SP-3000⚡ Specifications ⚙️: Diodes: Samsung LM301B / Osram 660nm (960 total!)

This strain likes to stretch a lot so in full swing. Bottom leaves crumbling and turning brown/ yellow. This is in a shared autopot base so increasing nutrient dosages throughout.

. FIRST DAYS ------------- The girls tolerated the topping well; in three days, I found small bushy bushes in my tent. So, a little mainlining to give them the desired shape, and a little splash of water with just Voodoo. Tomorrow they will receive their 4ml Grow A+B, with 2ml B-52 this time. PS: as you can see in the photo, a little mistake due to over-enthusiasm... I damaged one, but the branch didn't break completely; a little bandage, we'll see if it recovers, if not it will do without that branch. I've seen worse in a previous session, and it was my 3-branch plant that gave me the best harvest! 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QTXbEUN8pA MIDWEEK ----------- Two days after mainlining, it's time for the first defoliation. I cut the “horizontal” sites, as I don't want branches growing in the center of the structure. I'll leave them to rest now; I'll do some lollipopping when they've climbed. + I'll switch Voodoo to B-52. PS: - The damaged branch is not dead, but does not seem to be recovering; I will give it a few more days before deciding to cut it - On the other hand, I had an unpleasant surprise: one of my other girls showed signs of wilting and browning on three of the four branches. I've never had that before... As with gangrene, I cut the three, hoping that the fourth will hold up. For her, I kept the middle sites + mainlining; if it works, I'll still have three branches. see 2 last pics 👆

Week 6 of flower. Everything is going just as it should go🙏🏽

Sorry for the huge delay, I wanted to update this earlier but COVID-19 happened everywhere and many things happened where I live. Nonetheless, I have all the photos and I'll be finishing this diary soon. The smell of both of my babies was quite, quite strong. It even made me feel very dizzy every time I checked them. During the week the leaves from Pistachio started to turn yellow while the ones from Matcha finally started to show signs of the excesses and burn, the mistakes I made earlier started to become more and more apparent so it was only a matter of time. Also, everytime a leaf started to die I removed it as soon as possible... but that might become more evident at the time lapse I uploaded! This was the last week of flower for Pistachio, and I'll leave Matcha a couple more days with some direct light on her (I want her pistils to mature a bit more), but next week is finally the week when I cut them. Trichomes on both plants are ready! 😲 Thanks for reading!

Day 1 — Monday 9/15/25. Installed a timer on a 12/12 cycle finally taking this girl out of 24 hours light schedule . Because it’s day1 of flower I also gave her a full strength feed of flower nutrients which includes my new organic foop, stash, & incredible bulk . That’s 95ml per gallon of water plus 1/2 tsp of stash and 1/4 tsp of incredible bulk . She looks hungry hopefully this doesn’t overdo her . I’m thinking she still needs some “grow” nutes for these first 2 weeks atleast but I’m going to see how she responds to this strictly flower feed to make sure I haven’t overdone it . I’ve moved the clones out the tent & cleaned out the crud in the humidifier since I stopped using purified water it gets build up . That branch I tried taking back together has died ! Can’t save em all I only hate it bc it’s from the ONLY branch that regrew from that one half of my plant it’s near dead state . This 5x5 plant is only 1/2 of a plant trained to cover my tent’s entirety meaning if I had the other half I’d have a 5x10 plant . I’m I dunno how long this girls is supposed to flower for . . 8 weeks ? 10 weeks ? 12 weeks ? I’ll need to find that out to adjust my feeding and light intensity accordingly . It’s been FUN but now it’s time to get to the FUNNEST part ! The Bud! Day2 flower 9/16/25 completed our HEAVY DEFOLIATION. Got about 93% of it out of there I’d say there’s about 7% more I want to get out of there . These next 3 weeks are the last times I’ll be able to pull leaves before these too many trichomes to not glue your fingers/tools together . Shes look crazy as she always does when I strip her back but her bones are great . I broke another branch today while defoliating and trying to better spread out the canopy for coverage . I’m undecided will I scrap the clone projects as I do not feel like slapping together another make shift setup for lighting purposes and I don’t want to let them get leggy between nodes before I decide what I want to do with them . I may hate this bud and not want to grow out the clones . I may love the bud and be thanking myself I made these clones . I dunno viewers choice ! What do we do with the clones during flower??? Comment below Lights out begins at 6:50pm she stays dark for 12 hours . Humidifiers refilled shes coasting into sweet dreams . Looking online quickly it says she flowers 8-10 weeks so that doesn’t really help me gauge when to stop feeding & when to start flushing so I’ll keep looking for more definite answers . Happy Growing ! Give us a like

Last week of vegetative, I start the change of light cycle so it goes into flowering.

Where did the time go, cannot believe a month nearly went by without posting… this week marks my half way point, no more nutrients just 2lt of water, I was away last week and my babies did not get any water they just basked in the sunlight and warm evenings. Today I did not get a chance to analyse was caught up with just wanting to catalogue and but I noticed no signs of any problems, just that she’s itching to be harvest but I need to flush for a month, I dosed them with so much nutrients to a point, I was feeding them 250ml of nutrients only, however before leaving I watered my babies with 2lt and then they experienced a week without water nor nutrients. I will analyse from next week. Tutorials here I come

Just a nice sativa hybrid. Nice colors, stems are strong for a sativa. Smell is great, sweet for now. I did up getting pollen and since it was bushy the nylon filter worked on both plants but STS dripped a bit on branches around it...i cleared thise branches. I am happy to announce its preggers so i loosened the wires on the branches and will be doing just ro n some low supplements for now after i dumped good amount dr earth flower girl and topped it with coco about qeek ago
