🎊 Week 12 is officially over ! I’m really pleased with the progress she’s finally stepping fully into that Purple Banana expression 🍌🍭 The buds are still packing on size, and every day brings us closer to harvest. I checked the trichomes again and we’re starting to see a nice mix: mostly milky with a few turning amber. Since the last feeding, I’ve been giving her only RO water to avoid oversaturating the soil before the finish. With two more weeks as our target, we’ll push one final week of feeding before the flush 💦🌊 One of my biggest joys as a grower is bringing out the unique characteristics of the strains I pick up as close as possible to what the breeder intended. For me, it’s not all about chasing yield. Genetics vary, and sometimes even in perfect conditions, your plants won’t look like the online photos or hit those top shelf sizes you see everywhere. But here’s the truth: If your environment, feeding/watering routine, and training techniques are on point, you’re almost guaranteed a potent, high-quality plant, regardless of final weight. So don’t stress yourself Focus on mastering your craft, learning your strains, and dialing in your system. With time and consistency, everything clicks and seeing that progress in real time on this grow has been incredibly rewarding. 😊 One last week of feeding for this beautiful monster Let’s finish strong! 🕺🏾👊🏾 Happy growing gang 💚🌱

Honestly not much to say about the dry and trim, which is definitely a good thing. 12 days hanging in the tent, and the plants were ready to trim. me & the Mrs. absolutely sailed through it. Stores like a dream, and smokes the same. Not a crazy amount of flavour, but the aroma that it has is lime and cream. And the taste is more earthy and spicy. Loving and savouring every bit of it. Sorry I’m very late with this, but I’ve been busy getting my next plants started! You should see them come up soon, as I’m quite behind in my posting. I’m very happy! 🤟💚

Hey everyone :-). The last plants were also placed in the bloom chamber kammer. Everyone has made great progress this week 🙏🏻. There is not much to say about this week, I think videos and pictures say more like words 🙈😎. I wish you all a good start into the week :-) Stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👍

Fed with nutrients on 4/16/25 Watered with 6.8 ph plain water on 4/18/25 Day 5: fade began 4/20/25: fed with nutri

8/30 Rained yesterday and pretty much all night. Plants looked happy this morning. I'm thinking about feeding today or tomorrow. The late flowering special kush doesn't have much longer and it will be done. I'm going to need to do another treatment for the thrips. Nights are so cold that I think they aren't a major problem. No signs of septoria either. No signs of ANY molds or mildew. Even where I took the pillar out but I removed a lot. I am noticing (especially on the pink kush and the special kush in the back) the wierd "top hat" lower buds like I previously did. I don't think it's the chipmunk. It's like they eat fresh buds and leave the top there. I think it might be earwigs but I haven't seen ANY. Birds have been keeping my garden pretty clean. Almost everytime I walk down there it's like a flock of birds takes off lol. I was watching the little finches all perched on my cage. I've seen them dart in and grab a snack. It's pretty cool how it works. Symbiotic relationship. I feed the birds amd they help keep my garden pest free. EDIT: Went to check the girls around 430. It seems like everytime I see the flowers they've swelled in size. Especially the natural mk ultra. Everything is really coming together. Pink kush is behind but it's starting. I'm getting lots of fall colors but I'm losing lots of leaves too. I wouldn't have defoliated as good as I have if I hadn't had problems. I thought the plants were done getting taller or stretching but after this rain they ALL seem taller. The buds are swelling as well. I'm on the home stretch with the early special kush. Few more weeks. Everything looked amazing tonight. I wanted to take some pictures but I left my phone. Smell is greatly increasing. 8/31 I don't get how we got NO rain the ENTIRE summer but it's rained the past few nights? Maines bipolar weather I guess. I see the same shit as prior years. Something crawls up and eats small shoots and developing buds but leaves larger ones alone. I thought it was earwigs before. I'm not sure now. I'll have to go look at night and figure out what's eating shit. It's just small secondary shoots mostly. Stuff I should've pruned but I leave on so the won't eat my fucking colas. I got some work to do but I'm getting closer. 9/1 Well we made it to September. Pink kush is finally STARTING to form little buds. After some research (and watching those fucking locusts try to fly into my cage but can't because they are to fucking big. I was lucky I found that enormous one on the stalk of the furthest special kush right where the tip cola starts. Luckily I was able to get him. Didn't have to take pics or a video or even check if they need water. It rained a little last night and the buds were a little wet. I'm planning to feed when I get back. If they need water I'll give it to them. My early special kush is getting real close. I want to harvest at peak timing but sometimes exigent circumstances screw that up. However i think I'll be able to let this girl finish properly. EDIT: Went back over to check weights and everything was super heavy. Plants are all turning fall colors. I checked the trichs on my special kush, mk ultra and 10th planet. Everything looked great in the sun! Everything is swelling and getting frostier everyday. I'm hoping that the pink kushs will finish. My early special kush LOOKS like it should be done but it's not. Looking at the trichs and stigmas it needs more time. I've found on several plants that between the; giant caterpillars, earwigs and pillars that they can take a whole branch and pretty much decimate it in a night. I chased one of those giant locusts around my Cafe and it finally got out. Bastard was almost the size of a small bird! I should feed tonight and possibly do a treatment for pests.

4/15/25 Things are progressing nicely. Some plants dont seem to be doing too much but 3 of them or so that are really standing out. Im curious if some of these are going to be longer flowering time than anticipated with the very obvious sativa dominant plants.

Just showing y’all how beautiful this strain is. Even tho the buds didn’t turn out purple I’m hoping the pheno on my other girl is a purple type

Let´s start Day 43 😎 some sun and cloudy with rain again 😳 Day44 cloudy and rain and cold 😡

DAG 22 Dag iedereen nieuwe update met wat foto's ☺️ De dames doen het in mijn ogen vrij goed. Omdat het mijn eerste keer is weet ik niet zeer goed of LST wel een goed idee is. Graag hoor ik jullie mening hier over elke tip is welkom alvast bedankt 😄

I used a bounty paper towel inside of a 6x4 glass storage container cut to match size. Sprayed distilled water generously over, then gently placed seeds evenly apart from each other. Placed a second paper towel and sprayed again with distilled water. Sprayed inside lid and closed for 48 hours prior to opening. Left raised above ground floor on cardboard box directly in front of heat intake duct. Temp and humidity were around 75-80F and 60-70%humidity. after a successful beginning, I then planted each seed using latex gloves into 4 different pots ; 1-5gallon happy frog only, 1- 5gallon pot happy frog with clay pebbles, 1-3 gallon pot happy frog only and 1-3gallon happy frog and clay pebbles. I covered each seed with a cut up 2litre clear soda bottle with small holes poked on the tops. I sprayed down the soil and the plastic containers. I left them covered until I noticed the cotyledon leaves then I removed the plastic covers, increased circulating fan speed and added a bag of exhale co2. Watered daily 2-3 times by misting with spray. (Distilled water in humidifier and used in feeding)

She's hitting flower so not much more growth after the burst. Fingers crossed she gets a bit more height. No need to top her so letting her run free. Started voodoo juice two feedings ago.

Day 43 Flowering: Good day all. Hope we are keeping green and mean. Thr Fast Buds ladies have been showingnoff this week with lots of pistil popping and colours beginning to show through now. Six shooter is still a small lady and will nondoubt stay short and stocky. She has a high leaf to bud ratio which is a little dissapointing but her attempt to swallow the leaves should hopefully help that come harvest time. Her smell is getting stronger now and very sweet. Now she is in her own space with direct light, she has picked up a little and shows signs of using the energy boost now. Strawberry Pie is filling out nicely now with buds stacking up. She does look a little burnt leafed from a slightly high dose of feed but sorted now and I do think she needs some cal mag next feed too. She is a decent size andnher buds are really starting to look unique and sassy. Mexican Airline has been the star of these ladies so far and still is . Her buds are very attractive and have a very unique look to them. The camera doesn't pick up the reds and pink that are starting to appear alongside the orange. She smells so strong now too . I am so looking forward to trying her when she is done, until then I will just have to drool in vain. lol They had a good saturation feed today and started to hit runoff before I finished fully. Rhey all seem to burst with growth each day after a feed so fingers crossed I can feed them to the sweet spot to use it all. Happy Days here so far. Thanks Fast Buds and heather for the great genetics. Be happy Growmies..

Buenos días familia, increíble, sin palabras con esta variedad, lástima la lie y perdimos una a principio, pero estas 2 crazy cookies crecen una locura. Ph controlado en 6,5 y una humedad por encima de 40% así que todo fenómeno. Una cepa bastante fácil en sus primeras semanas. Veremos próximamente como se forman nuestras flores familia

UPDATE : The plant has now been transplanted into a 5 gallon fabric pot which had been pre watered before hand, I also added some great white mycorrhizae that @MrG was kind enough to send out for me shes been happy with the new transplant growing much more everyday she is almost ready for her 1st top in a couple days but here how she looks as of today there is no point in using any mycorrhizae when using sythentic salt nutes as every time you feed it will just flush the stuff away but i played it smart and transplanted a day after water therefore it had a couple days to sit in the mycorrhizae and possibly work, who knows wether it benefited the plant but was worth a shot and still had rapid growth after doing so, it was 3 days after transplant when i watered so it possibly could of got to work in the mean time before i flushed it away also the morning after transplant i increased the light intensity only by +100ppfd 30% power Temps - Day 24-27 - Night 21-19 RH - 60-75 VPD - Day 0.6kpa - 0.8kpa - Night - 0.5kpa-0.7kpa (roughly) I have started to also feed nutrients at small dosages its been 8 days since there 1st feeding and they seem fine from my knowledge but i did water until run off and tested the EC/PPM of it and it was way too high so i think next water im going to have to flush heres what happend water hardness before feeding was 124ppms water run off hardness risen to 1140ppms 1140ppms is way to much the veg stage and i need to lower it down which i will do so in 3 days in the mean time ill keep a close eye on the girl Happy Growing :)

👉 This year, RQS launched 5 new regular strains. The seeds are packed with10 pieces. 38 seeds out of 50 turned out beautiful (see my previous diaries). 👉 Before I put the plants into bloom, I took 2 cuttings from each plant. As soon as I knew which were the female plants, I deleted the male plants and the corresponding clones. 👉 Now I am going to raise the cuttings and flower the female plants in 5 new diaries. This diary is about the Exotic Witches # 1, # 2, # 4.

This week has been all about training these lovelys..feeding on monkey nutrients and doing really well

The time has come, here we are into the first couple of days of flowering, slightly upset because I can’t look at them during the day and their light cycle runs at night but I have to get used to, I used to spend hours staring at them. My Gf told me to get for a second into the feeling of the plants and imagine this human look at me for hours 🤣🤣 I have to admit that would be slightly creepy and they don’t know yet that I’ll chop them down and smoke ☠️ Enjoy fellow growers ☮️✌️🏼😎

Day 77 I'm running out of vertical space for pinus contorta, this weekend i will open the box to move the leds higher and will try to do some decent photos. At this point i've added the Pinus purple matcha to the diary because she's huge and impossible to not notice, should be around 1,5m² almost 150cm tall. Had to do a very risky move and "soft crop" 2 apicals because of burn risk, too close to the leds. I wasn't expeting a freakin' tree like that! Day 79 Jeez plz stop growing in height!! After this shaky video i raised the leds 10 cm, now i'm for real out of space.. I'm adding 10 to 12 liters every day, alternating ro with only silica one day and the other with nutrients.

You walk outside and it’s a variety of flavors hitting you all at once. Cloned everything but the white rhino didn’t take so I’ll have 3 of the better out door strains for next out door season to continue learning this strain

Apple Strudel is a BEAST!!!💪 She is quite a large auto. Spent the first few weeks of flower growing in size. Hopefully I have raised the light for the last time. Finally starting to fill in & stack some flower. This girl is going produce something special! Already has some nice frost and is smelling yummy! Excited to see what she does in the next few weeks.
