Diaries updated daily so please check back! Welcome to day 1 of week 4 aka day 22 since breaking ground. Nesia continues to impress, being by far the most advanced plant for her age that I have grown so far. I am very excited for this week in particular. She is following Karen's pattern exactly, except without the three week bad start. By the end of this week I expect she will be 50cm in diameter at least. Day 22.5: Performed LST on secondary nodes. Day 23.5: Fertigated. Adjusted pot and added risers. Performed some brutal LST. She's growing almost completely horizontal now. My plan is to train her around the pot circumference. She's currently about where Karen was at the end of week 5. She is consistently 10-11 days ahead of Karen so far. Exciting. Brutal LST honestly I'm basically torturing her at this point. Day 23.75: Fertigated 3l Day 24: Nesia has put on a lot of foliage growth in the last 24h. I am noticing a pattern here with defoliating, it seems that the plants seem to alternate between focusing on foliage growth and focusing on height. I am starting to think regular defoliation may reduce internode distance and stretching. I am going to test this theory a bit by letting both Nesia and Misty grow a bit now before I further LST the primary node. Removed a few fan leaves. Day 26: Reconfigured tent. See video. Nesia now has more light. Incidentally, I believe I have now corrected the Magnesium deficiency, colour is looking great, growth accelerating rapidly. I did say this would be an even bigger week than last and it is certainly shaping up that way. Fertigated 2l. Day 27: Performed major LST and minor defoliation. Nesia is really growing well. She fills the big pot already. I severaly pruned the companion plants to make room for Nesia. I also reorganised the tents and configuration again while installing upgrades. New reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Airflow and light both increased and optimised. See video. Day 28: Nesia has responded quite strongly to the LST and defoliation yesterday. Nesia has not been watered for 48h. I am doing a short "dry spell" for all the plants. End of week summary: Well what a great week for Nesia. She hid a lot of her growth under massive leaves until the LST on day 27. I was pretty hard with her, and I aslo defoliated. She saved us a big surprise for the end of the week. Can you believe the response 24h later? That is quite shockingly good adaptation. I am certain that the reason she responds so strongly, is because by now, the end of week 4, she is well used to this regular process. Every time I have done LST and/or defoliation she has responded quicker and more vigorously. Nesia is going to far, far exceed Karen in size if she keeps up at this rate. Overall I couldn't be much more pleased with Nesia. She is an absolute star and I am already thinking a possible future diary of the month winner. I have been extremely impressed with Fast Buds genetics so far.

This stran smells incredible! They're all fading fast and putting on a beautiful color show. These buds are rock hard and completely covered with frost (reminds me a lot of Purple Ghost Candy by Seedsman).. 2 plants look just about done but the other maybe a week behind. We'll probably start harvesting the first few from this tent in a week 🌱

Looking good Las raices consiguieron un trenzado hermoso No sé si eso es normal pero está planta me sorprende y me sigue sorprendiendo

Left to right: All Gas x Cali Octane (Promo), Banana Butter Cups, Gelato, OG Triploid. Pictures taken day 48 of flower, just started into week 8. I messed up last week and uploaded pictures that were still from week 6, but I'll just leave it as is. I found one small bud with botrytis, seems to have been the only one, so not too worried there. The far red is really showing its effects now, all of these normally take 63-68 days to finish, as it is I think I can chop around day 58. Combined with the super short veg, I could do 5 runs like this a year. BBC is fading nicely, was growing strong. The others didn't use up the nutrients, even though its been straight water only with microorganisms and some kelp added every two weeks. I didn't do any pH correction and the tap water here comes out at pH of 8 and 0.8 EC, I cut it to 0.4 EC. Impressive! I am not getting sponsored by biotabs, but I am amazed what just the tab itself without any of the product line is achieving. I am sure, you can push the plant more, but I love the keep it simple approach. Next round I am going to add a Blumat self-watering system and just check in on the plants once a week. Edit: Harvested at day 56, the far-red took off a solid week - as expected. Smell was intense, they had 36 hrs of darkness before harvest, will hang until I get back Saturday evening and then go into the winecooler I modified. Currently at 19 C and 50% humidity, bit too dry, but it's only for two and a half days, so I'm not worried. The biotabs didn't fully dissolve in the 9 weeks they were in the pot, next round I will break them up a little. Only the BBC really faded, I hope the taste won't be too much on the nitrogen side 😬 harvest update will follow as soon as they are dry, so probably in another two weeks from now

Chopped on day 76 from when it was planted into soil. It was always scraggly and would remind me of the gimp hand dude in scary movie 2. It pushed along. It's aesthetically pleasing and a smooth smoke but I won't be growing it again. Not a fan of the high or anything else. Will sit on the shelves in grove bags until smashed into concentrate. I ended up with roughly 42 grams dry weight.

Very tasty dense buds good high tastes judt like strawberry

So entering week 7 after a suspiciously long week 6. Well I guess I am synced now. This week is already the second time I applied the Phosphor Boost that comes with my 5 in 1 fert. The growth is magnificent. After week 6 started somewhat troublesome because them plants were still on recovery they quickly filled out the entire scrog net in its width and are scratching full height as well. I’m very satisfied with my training results although I’m still defoliating too much and sometimes the wrong leaves. Need to focus on keeping more strong leaves and picking out the useless ones better. The Phosphor Boost btw is 3 grams per plant per week, spilled evenly over the soil.

Day 95 harvest of last 2 of 4 plants. 10 days after first two were harvested. BB1 and GG1 seem to have denser buds than BB2 and GG2. I think the yield will be greater also. First two plants dried for 6 days at 45-50 RH and 65-70F and put into quart Mason jars with humidity meters and pouches at 62 RH. Once second two have dried, will update dry weight for all 4 plants in Harvest week.

Day 79 - Gonna begin flushing in preparation for chop this friday. I think she will be perfect by then because I am already seeing all cloudy and a few ambers here and there. Let me know what you guys think! Flush this week and chop? Day 84 - Chopped her last night! Will update with harvest info in 1 more week :) STAY TUNED!

😍

Se secó bastante rápido. En 5 dias. Y metí todo en un frasco grande para que empiecen a curarse. Todo perfecto.

Langsam wird der Geruch intensiv.

She has a nice progress, I'm very happy to watch how she grows, amazing strain, thanks for Fustbuds for this super genetics 😀

Week 4 and week 5 dusted the short one I prefer rhat is starting week 4 with Fruitwalker Daddy Dust

EC 1.7 today not much runoff, maybe bottom feed but i dont want to burn the plants BUT I cant move so another trade off 4/29 9:18AM NEW GROW THEME ....RACE WAR GROW..SPONSORED BY THE SPLC!!!!I GOT A REVA 3RD SISTER ACTION FIGURE, SHE GOES FULL DARK SIDE AND MARRIES JAR JAR WHO IS SECRTLY THE HEAD OF THE EMPIRE KLU KLUX KLAN....SO REVA MARRIES INTO THE KLAN...AND THE WEDDING IS SPONSORED BY.......THE SPLC!!!! ITS PERFECT. OMG...AND WE CAN DO A MONTEL GROW AND HE CAN DO A SHOW NEXT ON MONTEL, REVA, WHAT WENT WRONG?? 5/1 5AM **Hell yeah, that’s the kind of late-night (or early-morning) epiphany we love.** Dr Pepper + peanut butter cookies sounds like a wild, sweet-salty, cherry-cola spiced twist. The 🌿😂 makes total sense—some of the best flavor combos hit when you’re relaxed and creative. ### How to actually make Dr Pepper flavor work in cookies Dr Pepper’s profile (cherry, vanilla, warm spices, cola bite) needs concentration so it doesn’t just evaporate or make the dough too wet. Here are practical ways: 1. **Reduction/Syrup** (best for strong flavor) Simmer 2 cups Dr Pepper in a saucepan over medium heat until it reduces by half (about 1 cup). It’ll get syrupy and concentrated. Let it cool. Use ¼–⅓ cup in your peanut butter cookie dough in place of some sugar or liquid. This gives real Dr Pepper taste without watering it down. 2. **Simple cake-mix hack** (super easy starter) Mix a chocolate or vanilla cake mix with 6–8 oz Dr Pepper + peanut butter. People make 2-ingredient Dr Pepper cookies this way—add ½ cup creamy peanut butter to the batter for your twist. Fold in chopped peanuts or a swirl of extra PB. 3. **From-scratch peanut butter cookie base + Dr Pepper** Start with a classic PB cookie (butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, flour, baking soda/soda, vanilla, salt). - Replace some brown sugar with the Dr Pepper reduction. - Add 1–2 tsp vanilla + a pinch of cinnamon or allspice to echo the soda’s spices. - Optional: a few drops of cherry or almond extract to amp the Dr Pepper notes. ### Quick test recipe idea (Dr Pepper PB Cookies) - ½ cup butter, softened - ½ cup creamy peanut butter - ½ cup brown sugar + ¼ cup Dr Pepper reduction (from above) - 1 egg - 1 tsp vanilla - 1¼ cups flour - ½ tsp baking soda - Pinch salt + optional cinnamon Cream butter + PB + sugars/reduction. Add egg + vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients. Chill dough 30 min. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 min. They’ll spread a bit and get chewy with that cola kick. **Pro tips**: - Reduction is key—plain Dr Pepper in dough usually bakes off too much. - If you want stronger flavor, look for Dr Pepper extract/flavoring online (some baking sites sell “Dr Soda” type). - Top with a light glaze: powdered sugar + a splash of Dr Pepper reduction. Go make a small test batch with what you have. Report back how it turns out—I’m genuinely curious if the cherry-cola + peanut butter hits as good as it sounds in your head. What’s the vibe you’re going for—chewy, crunchy, or fudgy? Got any other flavors you wanna mash in? Let’s refine this masterpiece. 🌿🍪 5/1 7AM 1.5EC 6.0 pH 2 liters each Maxi Bloom powder only. 5/6 5 AM AC 1.078 pH 6 light runoff today

HAPPY 420 Today iam entering the SEEDSMAN 420 Growoff with the Following strain the Tangerine Snow F1 Fast All will start Indoors under SANlight Flex 25, and move Outdoors. Only one Plant stays indoors, to see the performance under best Conditions because my Outdoor Garden is hard^^ As the strain is fast flowering i expect to end this Journey in the last weeks of September. Just before the " big Rain" starts So i started with letting them soak, and then the seeds will move under a humid Kitchensponge unil i see a sweet Taproot. then they will go into the Final Pot, filled with lovely TerraPreta mj mix the grow will be supported with Biotabs fertiliser BREEDER INFO Tangerine Snow F1 Fast Feminised is a 75% sativa, four-way cross of (Boost x Tangelo) with (Lavender x Power Plant). This Fast F1 hybrid is bred from Cali genetics and boasts great citrus terps, high resin production for extracts, high levels of THC, very good yields and excellent mould resistance. Tangerine Snow F1 Fast can be grown indoors as well as outdoors. Indoor flowering times are between 8 - 10 weeks while harvest time in northern latitudes is during September while in the southern hemisphere growers will be harvesting during March. Recommended climate regions are hot, dry, humid and warm. These are tall, semi-branched plants that grow in excess of 200cm and display a high degree of vigour with very good uniformity. In common with many other heavily sativa-dominant strains, Tangerine Snow F1 Fast offers excellent resistance to mould as well as to plant pests and diseases. The combination of citrus terps and plenty of resin makes thi a very good extract strain with the 'washing' method delivering very good yields of hash. The citrus terpene profile is reminiscent of mandarins and tangerines and also has sweet candy notes. THC production has been lab-verified at a strong 24% while CBD is low. The effect is uplifting and energising, perfect for use during the day and early evening.

Eccoci qui!!! Tutto procede per il meglio, i pistilli sono usciti e ora si va dritti dritti alla maturazione, NE VEDREMO DELLE BELLE!!! La piccola cresce molto vigorosa ed in salute, chissà cosa ne verrà fuori intanto possiamo solo ammirare questa bellezza!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🔥🌲

What to say about this week? For starters LST was started this week. Initially I used garden ties but soon after replaced them with 6” garden staples . 2 of the 6 girls began throwing pistals resulting from the LST starting around day 15 YIKES 😬. The Zkittlez & the Runtz both from (Expert Seeds ) began giving the 5x5 its first smells . The LST so far has been a pleasure no ooosy daisies so far & the girls are showing what they are made of . The secondary shoots have great potential to form a nice round bush that I can train out into an even-as-possible canopy . Today is day 21 & day 20 for this bunch . They are only using Gaia Green dry amendments for feedings but I decided to take some advice given to another grower & supplement my girls with some compost tea . NO I DONT THINK THEY NEED ANYTHING ADDITIONALLY IM REALLY HAPPY SO FAR WITH MY NUTES bbbbuuuuuttttttt in the short chance that my ladies may take a liking to an occasional tea & reward my pampering with large , long , frosty, stacked cola’s . . Thennnn I’m supplementing , I consider this all “4-play” for my ladies Ik a giver 🤷‍♀️😭 My only concerns are racing against this clock to get as much size & solid structure before flowering sets in I’ve really got my heart set on a certain outcome & I’m one for a good challenge. Finally , atleast as much as I can remember, I increased the dimmer knob on the light from 65% to about 78%. I won’t increase the watts any higher until bloom sets in fully & at that point I’ll be turning it to 100% raising it a maybe 6 inches & watching patiently for my girls to start praying 🙏 to it . Week 3 in the books !

Made multiple mistakes on first grow but it seems they are surviving any tips will be helpful. Mistakes - 1)putting 4 plants in one bucket don't know how that will play out. 2) left window open at night temp was low for night. 3) didn't provide enough light they were under one cfl bulb till now.
