May 9th - began today replacing the CMH lite that kicked-off during the night (new bulb is done!) MARS HYDRO to the rescue with a TS-1000 hanging above the kids now. Fine-tuning as we speak - began mixing a Tea for tonight/tomorrow’s dinner - LST to begin with a few of the plants this evening - Defoliated some of the large fan-leaf pairs and now the plant structures can be fortified and shaped - grabbed 6 clones from the Panama Reds and 2 each from Fighting Buddha and Pine Tar Kush !!! Into the LED Dome (And i’m out of cubes… profanity) - some branches get tied down tonight; let the games begin 10th, - Nutrients fed for breakfast - how to say this: things are so steady with daily progression - raised lights again to maintain 2c difference between Room temp / Top-Leaf temp. My Phlizon 4500 is almost topped out in the room, and its running at 50% power. This last blast of growth and transition within the plants, tells me this set-up is going to last Just long enough !!! Just big enough - 2 more weeks come on! - a few more clones taken last-nite; cloudwalker / black tuna / lsd / alaskan purple etc etc PurpsBerry will be last clone taken - no foliar misting on Food mornings like today; every other day is still the target here in mid-Veg 11th, - while rummaging through the crop early today, I found what is certainly a Male Panama Red plant. Action taken and trying to secure that new home. Picture 11, 12, 13 - Panama Red #2 removed - Foliar Misted the Tent at lites-out - clones treated to a Foliar Misting. Feeding them through their already developed Stomata on the leaves; when they have no roots to uptake nutrients yet. “Thanks Andrew at LegacyMarketFarm for that detail” May 14 - the one plant i took real pride in FIMming successfully, has also raised the Kilt and declared his Gonads; dammit. So, he’s gone lol. 2 males out of 38 plants… (txerri bilbo haze, the very first of many seeds produced alongside killer bud to show Male) - 2 LSD clones appear to be doing well May 15th - Foliar Misted after Lites-out

Day 21: I still have my garden on a 6-2 light schedule and my two plants that i stunted do to overwatering are slowly making a come back. I am going to keep them as i am a optimistic person so im hoping for the best but to say the least it will help me learn how to deal with different problems as they arise and teach me how to manage a garden this size. I only low stress trained for 1 day which was the day that i took the pictures a few days ago. I didnt feel confident when i started it mostly because of the size and felt like i was starting the process to late. If its not to late feel free to let me know and ill try to start it again, other than that as always feel free to drop some tips and happy growing. I also added a video at the top for quick viewing. 😀

Well here goes nothing! Only one seed so this is do or die lol, but at least it looks quite healthy. Going to start it indoors until it sprouts, it's only 45°F for a high during the day and 29°F for a low at night so there's no way to get her outside today. I have a 10ft x 10ft pop up greenhouse that I plan to have functional by the weekend. Update*- Smoothie sprouted on 4/22 yesterday and is looking like a healthy girl. So stoked!

First week of flower is in the books. I posted my feeding schedule in the pics above. If you find yourself looking at it wondering why you're seeing back to back feeds with mycos or teas its because with organics you never want to let your pots dry out. You obviously dont want to waterlog the pots but you need to find that balance with watering so as to keep your ecosystem happy and active. It's not a feed/water/water system where you're watering every other day as you do with salt based bottled nutrients. Always remember you're feeding the microboes/fungi/bactria and they are feeding your plants. If you dry your pots out with organics those elements become dormant and or die off which will lead to deficiencies and a weakened immune system. The week was going smoothly until last night. The timer for whatever reason didnt kill the lights after 12 hrs had past so they got a little over an hr of extra light. To help maintain consistency with the plants I just altered on/off times to make sure they still recieved 12 hrs of darkness. So I was running 6pm-6am now with the overage last night I'm running 730pm-730am. I have heard some horror stories about how something like this has affected people's plants but they are few and far between. I'm not overly worried about it as a plant thats growing outdoors never gets a true 12/12 lighting period. I caught it early, adjusted my lighting schedule to accommodate a 12 hr off period, and being so early in the flowering stage I should be ok. Obviously it goes without saying but this is taboo and not something you want to be making a habit of with photoperiod plants. My dehumidifier also decided to do it's own thing last night and didn't shut off as per the settings (set to 45%) and as a result it pulled my humidty down to 39% down from the 45%-47% that the room usually runs at. As a result my temps rose into the 28-29 Celsius range overnight up from the 25-26 Celcius (my preferred flowering temps) that the room usually sees. So she was quite the party downstairs while I was sleeping. To my surprise when I turned the lights on the plants looked very happy and healthy and immediately started praying to the sun gods. I got lucky here with respect to what I was speaking about above with watering practices and organics. As I keep my pots in the sweet spot with daily waterings this didnt negatively affect the plants. I've prepped and am bubbling a compost tea (posted a video) which will be fed tomorrow. I also through some organic popcorn seeds and organic mung bean seeds in the seed sprouter (pic posted above) to make a popcorn/mung bean SST for the plants that's loaded with all kinds of enzymes and goodness. It's also pretty sweet to be able to say you feed your plants popcorn. Like I mean really though 😁. I'll talk a little more about SSTs next week but if your curious about it there are many websites about this topic, homesteadandchill.com would be a great place to start. They lightly touch on topic without diving to deep into the science behind it so it's easy reading to help introduce you.

420Fastbuds What up, fam. Weekly update on the Photoperiod Femenized strains. GorillaMelon,RainbowMelon, LemonManderian,LemonPaya,PapayaSherbet, and some FastFlowering GG4/Sherbet. For just putting them outdoors 3 weeks ago, they've adjusted to the heat like a dream mid 90's and tripled in size. To think there's probably 4 more weeks of veg. These are going to get big. I might have to raise up the greenhouse or make it a convertible. I'm still just feeding well water, probably 2 liters, each straight from the hose daily. All in all Happy Growing

I didn't prepare this crop well enough, I still need to work on a schedule. I tried to correct processes that I thought were wrong but they were actually correct so I got a new overfeeding.

Week 8 for the OG Kush and blueberry. Week 6 on the feed schedule for the Super Lemon haze. Last week of feed for the OG's and blueberry. The OG's are super thick, sticky and stank so nice! The blueberry is very sticky, smell's nice but the buds are not as big as I expected them to be.

i know i know, i promised to harvest this week, but to me they just don't seem ready yet! Although i harvested the main-buds from the LSD and put the other buds with the plant into a vase in order to let her ripe more, i want to harvest the other plants in one piece. The Peyote Critical will be the next one, in three days or so, i'm just waiting for her to develop some amber trichomes and the lower buds should ripe some more. The blue gelato could be harvested in a week or shorter, she seems damn sticky and rock solid! Shiskaberry need a week or so, some pistils are still white and trichomes are pretty glassy at some points! Srawberry lemonade will need one or two weeks, trichomes are glassy, but leaves are already yellowing, i think she will taste bests because she took so much nutrients and is now losing colour already!

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 2 in the flower chronicles of our majestic Cherry Cola Auto is unfolding, and the botanical saga continues with astounding vibrancy. Our green queen, having transitioned seamlessly into the flowering stage, is unfurling her blossoms with an elegance that's truly mesmerizing. Last week, the anticipation for flowering reached its peak, and oh, what a sight to behold! The once-prominent bush has metamorphosed into a lush haven of blossoms. The topping technique from earlier weeks worked wonders, and the result is a dense and intricate network of bud sites, promising a bountiful harvest. The freedom granted to our Cherry Cola as we removed the training supports has allowed her to grow wild, like a botanical ballet of branches reaching for the heavens. The bushy bliss is a testament to the success of our training endeavors, creating a flourishing green symphony. Speaking of success, the decision to venture into topping during the vegetative phase is proving to be a game-changer. The multiple colas that have emerged are like a crown atop her green majesty, and I find myself in awe of the structural beauty it has introduced to the plant. In the nutrient department, the shift to P-Boost and Topbooster has been a key player in this unfolding floral tale. The phosphorus boost is working its magic, contributing to the formation of robust buds, while Topbooster continues to enhance the overall flowering response, promising an end product that's nothing short of spectacular. I can't help but marvel at the visual delight our Cherry Cola presents. Every day brings new growth, and the energy in the tent is palpable. It's not just a plant; it's a living masterpiece in constant evolution. As Week 2 in the flowering stage comes to a close, the Cherry Cola Auto stands as a testament to the joy of cultivation. Topping, training, and nurturing have led to this vibrant spectacle. Stay tuned, green enthusiasts, as the floral drama unfolds in the coming weeks! Genetics Cherry Cola Auto @Fast_Buds @fastbuds_genetics_official @fastbuds_official @fastbuds_espana Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_ Love, Care, and Attention: @dogdoctorofficial As always, thank you all for joining me on this journey, for your love, and for it all. My horticultural odyssey would never be the same without you. Your love and support are cherished, and I feel both honored and blessed to have you in my life

Girls are trucking along without much issue. I did have a bit of PH flux due to my PH meter calibration being off but no biggie, she didn't show too much signs of stress. These girls are starting to stink which I'm happy about, hoping for a really cheesy harvest :D
