Fun time with this gal overall! Definitely going to go for a proper run of BanDad, not 12/12 from seed - next. Didn't yield much individually, but between all 4 plants it added up to be a decent bit. Already got another BanDad in my veg tent at about week 5!

Cindy has been flipped to flower! Both plants in my tent have reached their max veg height and width. I did a preflower defoliation and flush and have flipped to a 12/12 light cycle.

Day 63 She may look like shit... but let me tell you shes the strongest smelling in the tent. Her yield will be tiny of course but im still looking very much forward to having her. Going to start feeding cake from cropsalt now for 2 weeks before harvest.

Buds are starting to form now . Both alien phenos are budding faster than the other 2 strains . Gave them a good defoliation this week and they seems to have perked up . Lollipoped some more nodes also. They are still stretching .

Okay growmies here we are at the end of our GELATO AUTO 🍧 by FAST BUDS. It was such a pleasure to grow, i learned so so so much this run that will help me through the rest of my adventures. The beginning was tough as i am new i over watered and did not ph the water and what i mistake. But its okay i learned. She bounced back like nothing and produced these HUGE, FROSTY, DENSE BUDS! I remember the panic i had week 2-3 and wanted to scrap all of this and start over.... thank the weed gods i didnt because look at this masterpiece. I always said she took for ever but hoped she becomes a beautiful queen. And here she is. She was SOOO HUNGRY AND THIRSTY! Over a all a pleasure and amazing grow. I will for sure grow again and again. She responded so well to LST and topping... slowed it down but it was so worth it guys lmao... GROWMIES! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH! Thank you for all the continued support and likes and comments and help. Id be no where with this with out all of you. And thank you to the FAST BUDS team and to you heather! Grow diaries thank you for the plat form. I love you guys. All of you. All my sponsors. Thank you. Until Next time growmies! Stay positive, stay safe, stay

Week 8 there hasn’t been any drastic changes for either of the girls. Girl #1 is looking better and better each day. Girl #2 is just being as stubborn as can be. Girl #2 still hasn’t showed any signs of flowering. I’m gonna continue to be patient with her she’s a very late bloomer. I can’t believe she’s been in veg for 8 weeks.I know some of you expert growers have experienced a long veg similar to my experience.Not sure if it’s good or bad luck just yet being my first run of autos. I have to admit. When i saw this week coming to The end and girl #2 wasn’t showing signs of flowering, I got down face to face with her quietly whispering (You better flower soon or it’s time for the trash can 😂😂) lol 😆 I had a weak moment was very frustrated. I thank all of you that have shared your information cause without it I would have been panicking. I’m gonna be patient and let the plant tell me when she’s ready. Everything has been running smoothly. I have given both girls light bloom nutrients. I have learned so much and it has been a pleasure watching the magic happen. Thank all of those who have viewed my diary. Thank you again for your support.

12/31: They are both coming along nicely.👍 Today was the first day in which I fed them some Big Bloom and Boomerang along with humic acid, pH'd to 6.1. 1/3: I've been letting them dry out a bit for the last two days. They've got roots coming out the bottoms now...I'll probably transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots tomorrow or the next day. I ordered a 4' 180w tube light with 578 LEDs..it has a 360 degree beam with 3000k and a bunch of 660nm. It's waterproof, so no worries about keeping it beneath my canopy to illuminate the lower branches and hopefully increase the density of those buds that never get much top-lighting. Today, I mounted my two new 24w UVA LED lights (395-405nm) to my frame. I'll run them 6 hours a day from the time I put the plants into my closet, until harvest. It is my understanding that exposure to UVA, particularly during the vegetative stage, triggers many different plant defense hormones, which speed growth and can increase heartiness to withstand constant exposure to UVB without suffering as much cellular damage as usual. I'm also ordering a 2' Solacure FlowerPower UVB (285nm-310nm) next week to use during flowering to stress the plants and increase trichome production. 1/4: I did a few foliar feedings with big bloom and fulvic acid today. 1/5: Transplanting day. I dusted their roots with magic dust and transplanted them into 5 gallon pots today. I had some excellent compost with biochar and myco that I mixed into their soil, too. I watered them in with about 2 quarts of their first taste of full strength veg nutes, plus mycorrhizal fungi, trichoderma, beneficial bacteria, and humic acid, then I sprayed them with biotabs boomboom spray when finished. The were moved into the closet under the quantum boards, UVA's, and a pair of MiracleLED blue bulbs. I'll start adding far-red spectra to the equation in the next few days.

🍀21/07 - Ya se encuentra en etapa de secado. 🍀El lunes le agregue 30L de agua y 10ml de Top Wash. 🍀Esta planta se encuentra mas resinosa y densa que la otra que también cultive. 🍀Todo fue perfecto desde el momento uno, no tuvo ningún problema en toda su etapa de vida. 🍀Tiene mucho olor, a caramelo o crema, todos sus cocos son densos y gordos. 🍀En total dio 163g. 🍀En estos días seguiré subiendo mas imágenes de como viene. 😶‍🌫️🇦🇷🍀Podes seguirme en Insta gram como @bruweed_arg🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷

This grow cycle was one of my best from start to finish I had 5 females 4 of which were brilliant all shown colour all fruity gassy and amazing only the one was bland and green in colour and smelt different really good nug atructure but the smell wasn't there for me ... this is around my fifth grow and I'll be running these strains again to get it down to one pheno of these genetics

9/15 12AM MONDAY. HEAVY AMINO EXPERIMENT WAS GOOD. EC WAS 1.3 HIGH BUT WORKED, LITTLE BURNS BUT I DEIGNED THEM TO WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. 9/16 1:30AM!!!!!! Analysis of Your Grow Progress Cookie Apple F1 Auto (Mid-Late Flower): Butter Frosting Resin: The thicker, smoother resin suggests peak terpene and flavonoid production, likely driven by your 200 mg/L phenylalanine and 125 mg/L glutathione from the heavy amino spray. The “butter” texture could indicate high myrcene or limonene, enhanced by FruitnFusion (0.5 mL/L) and Purpinator (0.5 mL/L) (‽web:5, ‽web:10). This is a sign of top-tier flavor and potency. Next: Monitor for overfeeding (minor tip burn persists)—consider diluting amino acids to 100–150 mg/L each in the next 2 L mix to sustain resin without stress.Conclusion The “butter frosting” resin on Cookie Apple F1, healthy yellow-green fusiform, and Blueberry KO’s pigmented cotyledons show your anthocyanin-glutathione-phenylalanine strategy is working—phenylalanine drives synthesis, glutathione ensures transport. Tweak amino acids to 100–150 mg/L to reduce tip burn.👍👍. 9/16 926am COOKIE APPLE LOOKS LIKE 3 STICKS OF BUTTER!!!!!! WOW!!! 9/163:45AM I BUILT A TIME MACHINE!!!!! GOING TO TELL THE GERMANS TO FIGHT HARDER👍 That is a practical effect...no computers no grok just AWESOMETASTIC ME!!!!! 9/17 3PM sorry it didn't work... :( 9/18 3:25AM Kitten Academy live stream, no commercials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3YdBqqDLQk 9/18 11:45AM Mixed up Aminos first and separate and used 16 oz for foliar spray. Then mixed up: Root: 1.5 mL/L Connoisseur A & B Bloom, 0.25 mL/L CaliMagic, .5 mL/L Purpinator, .5 mL/L FloraNectar. Setria Glutathione: 150 mg/L = 300 mg (Brand: Emerald 250mg capsule.) TMG: 150 mg/L = 300 mg/L (Brand Nutricost) Phenylalanine: 150 mg/L = 300 mg/L. (Brand Nutricost) Proline: 150 mg/L = 300 mg/ (Brand Nutricost). 9/19 10:30AM EC 1.1 Foliar Spray pH 5.8 Phenylalanine: 250 mg/L Setria Glutathione: 250 mg/L Brand: Emerald 250mg capsule. ROOT: cut above in half and Root: 1.5 mL/L Connoisseur A & B Bloom, 0.25 mL/L CaliMagic, 1 mL/L Purpinator, 1 mL/L FloraNectar. 9/19 316PM BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED!!!!! THE SPRAY FOLLOWED BY ROOT A FEW HOURS LATER. RESIN IS GREAT, FLOWERS ARE FORMING JUST PERFECT. RESIN IS LIKE BUTTER VERY SOFT SMOOTH AND SMELLS BETTER THAN ANY OTHERS IVE DONE. THE SPRAY WAS USED ON 5 & 6 DAY OLD PHOTOPERIOD SEEDLINGS , AND 2 WEEK AUTOS, AND JUST SPROUTED SWISS CHARD, BASIL, AND A FEW OTHERS LIKE THAT WITH NO DAMAGE!!! IMAGIINE WHAT THIS COULD DO WITH CORN OR RICE AND WITH NITROGEN EFFICIENCY AT MAXIMUM. AMINOS MAN, WOW. IM SOFA KING AWESOME OR RE-TODD IT, WHICHEVER IS FUNNIER. 👽👍😎 9/20 CA1 sample, smells PERFECT &FRESH ALMOST LIKE SOME MAD AS HATTER FIGURED OUT A WAY TO INCREASE TERPENES THROUGH NOVEL AND PROBABLY BORDERLINE GENIUS, OR AT LEAST BORDERLINE SOMETHING WAYS.....THIS GUY MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!! 9/21 10AM Based on information for cannabis plants and the recommended dose for Setria Glutathione, the nitrogen content from 250 mg each of phenylalanine and Setria Glutathione is minimal compared to the required macro- and micro-nutrients for an autoflower plant in its 6th week of flowering. Here is an analysis of the nitrogen content and the role of these substances. Phenylalanine analysis Phenylalanine is an amino acid, and like all amino acids, it contains nitrogen. Formula: The chemical formula for phenylalanine is (C_{9}H_{11}NO_{2}).Molecular weight: The molar mass is approximately 165.19 g/mol.Nitrogen contribution: Each molecule contains one nitrogen atom. The atomic weight of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol.Calculation:The percentage of nitrogen in phenylalanine is ((14.01/165.19)times 100approx 8.48%).The amount of nitrogen in a 250 mg dose of phenylalanine is (250text{ mg}times 0.0848approx 21.2text{ mg}). Setria Glutathione analysis Setria Glutathione is a reduced L-glutathione compound, which is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid, and glycine. Formula: The chemical formula is (C_{10}H_{17}N_{3}O_{6}S).Molecular weight: The molar mass is approximately 307.32 g/mol.Nitrogen contribution: Each molecule contains three nitrogen atoms.Calculation:The percentage of nitrogen in Setria Glutathione is (((3times 14.01)/307.32)times 100approx 13.68%).The amount of nitrogen in a 250 mg dose of Setria Glutathione is (250text{ mg}times 0.1368approx 34.2text{ mg}). Summary of total nitrogen The total nitrogen contributed by both supplements is: (21.2text{ mg (from phenylalanine)}+34.2text{ mg (from glutathione)}=55.4text{ mg N})When dissolved in 2 liters of water, this results in a concentration of (27.7text{ mg N per liter}).
