Hey hey everybody! We are back here this week at the beginning of week 13 and it is almost that time… time to flip?
….I wish…. No, no…. I am trying to be good but I think I came up with a plan that will give me a rough idea of when I will see that light at the end of the tunnel- or we’ll at least flip that light to 12/12 haha-
No no it is almost Christmas and things have been crazy over here. With the holiday madness upon us, I can’t tell all of you how much I have appreciated the relative silence (you know how it is, there are multiple fans running) time seems to slow down and it just us and the plants. Quite enjoyable.
So as you already know, we are going to be on coast until we fill out the rest of that 3x3 scrog net- however just today on my way into work, I came up with what might be my new definitive plan…
I have had a bit of trouble waiting, no doubt it will be worth the wait, but the wait has been difficult none the less… so here it is..
Here’s what I’m thinking- I have this going and I also have some fastbuds growing in the same area. What I am most likely going to do- is wait until it’s time for the fastbuds to come down to open up some space in the 5x5 and the rock candy cake can have all that space to herself- I will shift the scrog into the center of the tent and then flip the light schedule to 12/12 and let it run wild- it’s at this point I will most likely employ a more hands off approach so it can focus all of its energy on producing buds worthy of such a wait.
The canopy is getting pretty lush and I really need to get in there and defoliate- I really lucked out, today was the last day I had to work until after Christmas so you KNOW I will be in there tomorrow plucking away at leaves (strategically of course) half kidding I’m probably still a whirlwind compared to some, but I’ve noticed- especially when it comes to autos, that my leaf selection has become much more refined when defoliating. PROBABLY gonna see a BIT less of that tomorrow as I have to open up the canopy but I still plan on being careful.
Something else that was super cool who may not be following along with the other journal, happened oddly enough just the other day when I was doing dishes- I was scrubbing away with my phone all propped up so I could watch/listen to dude grows. And I heard the dude mention a contest on their website that I had entered… of course my ears perked up, I leaned in a little closer to take a look and was thinking to myself how cool it would be, even to see my picture in the background and sure enough there it was and they brought it up and commented on the submission and seemed to be genuinely enthused by it and let me tell you I am STILL riding high off that one!
One thing that was cool too was a rep at a nutrient company had seen that and congratulated me as well and it was again just so cool and I’m honored to have been on there! I listen to them practically everyday at work- yeah words are not doing it justice right now but I was stoked!!!
Other than that, the holidays are practically upon us so I’d imagine it’ll be a whole lot of family activity with a side of unintentional neglect that I plan on keeping to an absolute minimum because we are right around the corner from some excitement in that tent- that thing is going to be HUGE! So we have that to look forward to! And on that note, I just want to say that from our home to yours, I truly hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I can’t wait to come back and get into the garden talk with all my growmies! Growers love everybody and happy holiday!! 💚🤙🌱🎅🏼🎁🎄

Slurricaine is starting to come back around. It was getting pretty stressed with the big light and new pot but it’s looking decent. In a few days it will be fully recovered…
I’m excited to see how this one turns out

Last week for the 8 , on Feb 1st will be flipping them into bloom 12/12. I think I did well flatten em out like a table. If one tall than the other I’ll try my best to tuck em & if too many buds site to the side or nodes then Ima let em be…. Prolly have to get a 2 nd net trellis…

06/04: Début 3ème semaine jusqu'à présent je suis content de moi, c'est ma deuxième culture. La première a été assez mouvementée et cette fois-ci je me sent plus à l'aise par rapport aux arrosages par exemple. J'ai choisi de ne pas utiliser du allmix par exemple pour pas risquer de brûler mon plant lors de l'engraissâge etc.
06/05: Aujourd'hui "tie down" des branches les plus basses. (LST j 0) + Arrosage à l'eau clair 400ml ainsi que toping des branches basses.
06/06: j'aperçois les premiers pistils la phase de pré-flo est sur le points de débuter je vais augmenter la luminosité petit à petit dans les jours qui viennent pour arriver autour des 70,000Lux en phase de flo.
06/07: je vais revoir mon planing d'engraissage et ajouter un engrais de flo. et du CalMag agent toutes les deux semaines, quand au GHE essential une fois par semaine en foliaire.
06/08: le filet est placé depuis ce matin, maintenant on attends l'étirement floral pour le remplir.
06/09: arrosage +/-500ml avec engrais, j'ai tenté de descendre le filet pour palliser le plant et commencer à diriger le branche dans les trous du filet mais j'ai changé d'avis car je le sentais pas, je préfère attendre le stretch et utiliser le filet quand les branches l'atteindront naturellement.
06/10: finalement j'ai fait un topping hiers soir car le fiming ne semblait pas prendre et le cola continuais a monter et a chaque nouveau noeud j'avais chaque fois que deux branche donc j'ai préferer le topping certaine branche latérale on déjà rejoint la hauteur de deux branche obtenue grâce au topping. je suis étonnée par la vigueur de cette variété qui se remet rapidement de tout stress!

Really into the massive stretch now I am having too move the climate control probe and thermostat every day now and these girls will soon cover the WiFi camera too , probably growing around 2 or 3 cm per 24 hours at this stage , " day 4 of week 5 "
The tent is filling up nicely but the fbt7 is a clear winner so far , be is my cock up of snapping the main stem and fixing it ? The ftb7 is double the size of all the other 3 plants and is a very nice little bush , the smoothie has been very consistently healthy and vigorous and is around 22cm now and is one I did not lst , the BlackBerry has finally woken up and is now the same height as the others another plant I didn't lst , the c1 started very vigorously and was strong , them week 3 started too show signs of very early flower , she is now is fully fledged flower at week 5 and looking fantastic , and I was lucky enough too get all the side branches out and bend over the main cola too the netting and has made up for in lst what it lacked in size due too the early flowering ,

------GENERAL COMMENT------
As planed I lowered the base nutrient to 2ml, and took a break from Cal Mag, to release the N a bit, green is on point now.
Tomorrow will catch up with the Cal Mag schedule as usual.
Time for some overdrive, for the rest all good, girls are developing well and buds are getting bigger, no issues.
Smelling delicious! Hope I had some Terpinator to give a go...
------SM.BB COMMENT------
BB is maturing faster you already can see I have cloudy Trichomes, she will be a fast finisher as it looks like...

Se realizó una defoliación en la parte más baja y en las 2 hojas más grandes de la parte superior para que pudiera entrar de mejor manera la luz a los brotes más pequeños. Se aplicó Voodo Juice para las raíces y Top Bloom para la floración, ya todas tomaron de buena manera el cambio del fotoperiodo. Seguimos 👽 ...

Today i watered 2000ml ph regulated water. Also removed some yellow leaves from toxy. (Day 72)
Waterd 1000ml both plants. You can see how the buds are getting bigger 🌺😋 Checked trichomes on top, some are turning amber and the rest is milky. (Day 74)
It is slowly coming to an end. The buds are getting thicker, the leaves are getting yellower, the smell is getting stronger. Toxy is even getting very colorful. Watered toxy 1700ml and sticky 1300ml. Also heavy defoliate toxy

This was the last week on vegetation light schedule, we think she had grown enough to start flowering cicle.
We also started the defoliation, gradually removing the leaves, when we find it necessary.

Start of week 9 and the girls are just about done. Think I over watered the last two weeks. For some reason I feel like they don’t smell as dank as they did a few weeks ago. Maybe I’m just getting used to them my wife says it still reaks!! Gonna be chopping the girls down in a week days. The gas cream could of been chopped last week but I wanted the Saturn to finish

Outdoor Auto #2 Sour Diesel
fastbuds originals sour diesel auto
13th November 2020
BLACK FRIDAY 😱👻 lol
Only if ya superstitous 😁
Okay so you may have noticed there is only one sour diesel plant featured this week?
That is because I have put the other plant out bush somewhere alongside a Male auto plant to be open pollinated.
I didn't want the risk of having any of my other plants pollinated so I took the male auto and the sour diesel
a fair ways out into the bush , found a protected spot and will leave them both there for atleast a week or until
the male has well and truly released pollen into the air.
Once I feel that the plants have had their "sexy time" I will collect some extra pollen for freezer storage
before pulling up the male and bringing the sour diesel plant back home to finish off the seed production process.
By doing it this way I hope to get quite a few "auto" beans to play with 😎
* Now for a quick report on the other plant that is still here and flowering.
She is finally starting to put on a little bit of bulk and smell which is encouraging. 😀
The bio bloom and worm castings reall made a difference I feel .
That is about it for this week , When I go out to check on the ones out bush I will take the camera so I can get some snaps.
Thanks for stopping by 👍
Edit 14th November I went out to water the Sour diesel and Male auto that are out bush.
Above you will see a video of my highly technical and advanced methods of pollination 😉

Since my last grow i have a problem with powdery mildew... So on veg. i just spray Sulfur and worked fine... (the smell is terrible....)
now i am in flower and found the mildew again... i try a new mixture:
dry common horsetail
1 onion
1 garlic
cook that for around 1 hour.
Then i flux it 1:5 with water.
The smell is not so bad and just for 2 days. The leaf and flower not change color or smell.
Hopefully it works! i will spray that now every week.
Update:
Flower Day 20
I start with the Top dressing on all Plants. They start to frost.
The powdery mildew spreads :'( i dont know what else i can do?! i spray again!

Comenzando un nuevo cultivo de 12 semillas Jamaican Dream de Eva Seeds.
Sustrato 50% turba, 50% vermiculita con un pH de 4.0, por lo cual tuve que agregar dolomita para subir el pH del suelo a 5.5.
1.-Germinando directo en sustrato.
2.-al indoor para aprovechar la temperatura que genera el led, los días están algo helados y debo mantener la temperatura sobre los 20 grados Celsius, aproveche de espolvorear algo de great white sobre el sustrato y agregar más agua.
3.-aun nada, ansiedad x1000 😰, espero que al menos germinen 9 de las 12.
4.- Día 1, Por fin germinaron!!!!, 12 de 12, la ultima está asomando, ya les saque el plastico y les di el primer riego de agua 6.0pH con voodoo juice, tarantula y piranha, 1ml por litro de cada uno. Feliz!! 😁
5.- Día 2, ya están mostrando las primeras hojas de un solo dedo, 2~4cm de altura.
Ahora a esperar que salgan las primeras hojas verdaderas para empezar a contar como primera semana de vegetación.

Start of week 4. This girl stretched an inch during week 3 and her bud sites continued to pack on size and take shape. She is very sticky to the touch and densely packed. I did some defoliation, so more light gets to the inner and lower nodes and buds.

Just purchased a new Gorilla grow Tent, and completely redid my setup in my 4x8 veg area and my new 4x8 Flower area.
First the Veg area. It consists of a 4x4 flood table, the other side contains 13 4gal buckets full of hydroton. Also 1 control bucket. This control bucket not only floods the flood buckets, but also floods the table.
The plants start off from the moms, they are moved from the flood table into s flood bucket and vegged to produce at least 9 clones (hopefully more like 15) . They are then cloned and after 1-2 weeks they are moved into the 4gal buckets. They sit for ~1month growing bigger, all while waiting for there flowering spot to be opened up.
While vegging they are topped and have 3-4 tops selected and focused by trimming any branches that start to reach for light. By the time they are moved they are about 16" inches high. All have 3 tops and are approximately the same height.
They are moved into the flowering spot snd immediately are switched from veg nutes to bloom nutes.
Over the next 3 weeks i will trim branches that reach away from the 3 main cola stems by more than 2". Also if one or 2 branches on the plant are having a bugger growth spurt, i pinch the tops. This allows the plant to focus growth hormones to the other tops.

Pistils pistils pistils
5/8 these plants are fucking exploding! Super exciting to see them like this. Pistils everywhere and they’re just STACKING! don’t even see budlets yet, just pistils. The structure of these plants is beautiful. They handle training fairly well. I topped one and super cropped it and did a bit of lst. I was feeling impatient so I decided to see what happened if I pushed the one a little harder and left the other to grow naturally.
