Ready to be chopped down!! I’ve used this soil (Coast of maine growers mix) with synthetic nutrients and this run with their recommended organic plant food for auto flowers and their feeding schedule. **After a few grows with synthetic nutrients and this grow with organic matter, I’ve had much bigger/healthier plants going organic. :)

Unfortunately I don't have any better pictures because once I remove the net that was giving support to the buds and they were so big that the plant could barely hold the weight anymore so taking pictures holding everything with one hand using the device in the other was it a little bit of a challenge oh well I guess it's a good problem to have I will update when they are completely dry and cure. I have cut down in jar everything the wait was 105 grams please consider that when they comes to my scale weight i wait until the main stem breaks with a loud crunch and the buds are really dry to the touch reason for it I have a very busy life and at the end of the day this is just a hobby so I cannot be opening those jars many times a day at most one in the morning and one in night so I want to avoid mold on them.so I push in a Boveda pack to keep them nice. After two weeks in jars the send hose cheese has incremented a lot and the scent of Barry as well it has a very powerful High but Pleasant very nice strain to grow incredibly vigorous and with a high yield capability another win for Dinafem Thank you for reading have a happy grow.

Welcome to my Fast Buds sponsored shootout and living organic soil v coco side by side. I also plan to use this grow to my full advantage regarding a few age old nagging questions about methods. I have had a keen interest in L.O.S ( supersoil) since reading a few threads a while back on how amazing and productive it can be. After too much research and procrastinating I had to give it a go. I have been a decades coco/nft grower and recently threw my hat in the rdwc ring too. I have avoided soil due to the overwatering worry ( heavy handed chimp brain !) and the best potting soil/feeds. Catching up on the advances in indoor soil gardening and organics led me too subcools supersoil recipes to name a few but being a town dweller with farms everywhere around me still drew blanks on a lot of the ingredients needed and where the hell I could even begin to get them from. Thankfully , commercial savvy has now made buying it in ready to use and with a full range of beneficial bacteria ect available in amendments from a grow shop here in the uk. ecothrive have realised the potential for us to dive into this medium with all the mixing , measuring and resourcing. I bit the bullet and £150 later I now have 4 x37Litre pots that will be used for as long as I want to feed the soil for without EVER needing nutrients again potentially. The coco has also had charge mixed in to encourage the bennies to colonize there too. I will be using the shogun nutes that I know do the business with coco to compare with for yield , growth and taste. I have 3 seeds each of 4 Fast Buds Strains to use as a control for the grow and am journaling each strain in their own diaries. This statement will be used to start each one as the information is identical at this point but following this I will do them individually. I am now starting their second week since opening the seed packets , straight into soaked and shook root riot cubes and into the heated propagator. They had all showed their heads by end of day 3 and a couple needed helmet surgery to open up without being hindered . I have has them in the prop for a few days but they needed to get settled as they were popping roots out all over the cubes. They have now been in their final pots for 2 days complete and starting their 3rd today at day 8 since planting in cubes. I am impressed with the speed and success of these girls already (12 of 13 germinated) . Well done fast buds. So here we go folks , any comments , ideas ,questions , advice are always welcome and I hope we can have some fun experimenting with defol v non defol , topping v fimming v bending and any other curiosities along the way. I plan on using a quadline for them all to keep a control for the comparisons too. Be green folks Welcome aboard and a huge thank you to Fast Buds for the opportunity to try autos.

She is growing beast mode I'm proud of her.. I was able to top al outside branches today again , basically the ones who were sticking out the most.. Still only water for now💦💦

Supercropped one tall branch of the Red Mandarine #2. Hope it doesn't hurt the yields. Plants have been recovering and are mostly green now. There's some serious stretch going on in this tent! Flowering is happening really quick especially with the Mandarines. I moved the lights after I discovered a lux meter app. I had as low as 10,000 in some places, so not only are the lights closer to the canopy but I angled them to get more light down to the shorter plants. Just reset the clone fridge and they were all looking healthy except two which I didn't put enough water in.

beginning of week 7 of flower: This week was really tough for this plant. 2 times the power outlet seemed to have some issue. I think it’s a physical hardware issue inside the wall. I’ve ran the extension cord from another location in the room, and haven’t had any issues since. Considering she only got about 5 hours of light in a 48 hour span, I feel she’s looking pretty good. The smell of the plant is really getting strong. When I first open the tent there’s an almost overwhelming citrus smell in the air. I really enjoy it.

❤️love

Papaya cookies are incredible! All the pistils turn purple, incredible beauty of this plant. We are so happy to have caught this extraordinary phenotype and are looking forward to an early harvest in about 2 weeks time.

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

The girls have grown so much and they already smell pretty good. I'm trying to decide if I should SCROG. I have a trellis net but it's just a net, not the boxy thing that I've seen others with. What do yall think, should I SCROG? GDP2 is in her 5th week. If she were the same age as GDP1 and BK, I'd flip them next week but I'll try waiting at least another couple of weeks to give her some time to grow a little more although she's catching up with the other 2 height. I'll be posting more throughout the week. 7/4/22: Defoliation... I know it's needed but they're my babies.... lololol 7/7/22: Look at my girls... they don't look like they've recently been defoliated. You can tell which ones are the Granddaddy Purples... they have a purple tint to them. The Bubba Kush is super green... 😍😘😍

So we're in week 3 veg , they've mostly outgrown their mutated leaves now and looking strong.

Added the first screen into the tent. Decided to kick Big Mumma out because she just wasn't growing any taller and the other plants were really over growing her. For the new setup I used kitty litter trays and mesh to sit the plants on - each plant gets its own tray so I can track runoff EC individually and I cut little flaps in the mesh so I can wet vac the runoff. With this setup I shouldn't need to move the plants out of the tent until harvest. For the scrog I just tied some builders rope around the poles of the tent and tied the trellis netting off with training wire. I've been manipulating the growth just to try and fill out the whole screen, I also gave them a good haircut because I plan on flipping them soon, don't want them to outgrow the tent.

🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 (Plante #2) – Phase Végétative ​Date du jour : 29/04 Âge de la plante : J+18 (depuis la sortie le 11/04) ​L'évolution est flagrante. En moins d'une semaine, la plante a presque doublé de taille, passant d'un stade de jeune pousse à une structure végétative robuste et bien établie. ​📊 État de Santé & Mesures ​Taille actuelle : 20 cm. ​Vigueur : La croissance est exponentielle. On observe un développement foliaire dense avec des pales bien larges, caractéristiques de la Mac 1, et une structure qui reste compacte malgré la prise de hauteur. ​Feuillage : Le vert est profond et uniforme. La plante semble parfaitement assimiler les nutriments du mélange Biotabs. ​⚙️ Paramètres de Culture ​Lumière : Intensité maintenue à 75%. La distance a été ajustée à 90 cm de la canopée pour accompagner sa montée en puissance tout en évitant le stress lumineux. ​Climat : Stable (24°C jour / 21°C nuit) avec une humidité autour de 50%. ​Arrosage & Système : * L'arrivée d'eau du système Autopot est toujours coupée. ​L'objectif est de laisser le substrat s'aérer et de favoriser une recherche racinaire active avant la prochaine remise en eau. ​ Nutrition & Entretien (Le 28/04) ​Apport spécifique : Application manuelle de 1g de Bactrex dans 1 litre d'eau. ​Objectif : Booster la vie microbienne du sol et renforcer le système racinaire au moment où la plante entre dans sa phase de croissance la plus gourmande. ​Observation : Pas de signes d'asphyxie racinaire ; le contrôle de l'eau manuel permet de bien gérer la transition avant de repasser en mode totalement autonome. ​📝 Analyse ​La structure est exemplaire : les entre-nœuds restent serrés, ce qui annonce une plante buissonnante avec un fort potentiel de sites de floraison. L'utilisation du Bactrex hier va donner le coup de fouet nécessaire pour soutenir cette accélération. On sent que la plante est "lancée" et qu'elle va commencer à demander plus d'espace très bientôt. ​Prochaine étape : Surveiller le séchage du pot suite à l'arrosage au Bactrex avant de réactiver les vannes de l'Autopot pour la phase de croisière. ​L'aventure continue, la génétique Mac 1 montre toute sa puissance ! le 01/05 bonne fête du travail à tous j'ai pratiqué un lst. sa structure buissonnante m'a résolu à le faire donc j'ai plié la branche principale et écarté les branches secondaires. à bientôt mes amis un grand merci à vous tous

First week of 12/12 aka the transition week. Stretch has begun and canopy is filling in nicely. Have been doing a lot of pruning, defoliation and lollipopping to get the small shit cleaned up and solid airflow. Steady as she goes!!

Cooled off, some strong winds and a decent amount of rain, but no structural issues at all. 98% Humidity at night, and most of the mornings. Nice upcoming weather for a week, planning a final compost tea, then the weather looks absolutely miserable. Still spraying BT and LCPT a few times a week. As soon as I start loosing the battle against budrot I'll harvest her early, can only fight mother nature so much. Fingers crossed on another 3 weeks, but I doubt it.

Day 15 added grow. Feeding 1.5L per plant which gives a little run off. Pot drying out every 3/4 days and growing about an inch daily atm, big changes to come over the next 7-10 days really looking forward to seeing these grow taller. Day 20, all 3 plants now 9-10”. Expecting them all to double over the next week. More LST on all 3 plants and a feed of just over 1.5l which gives a small run off. No more voodoo juice or b52. Next feed I will introduce bloom along side grow. Very happy with the progress so far, no deficiency’s atm. So far so good

GROWING KINDA LAGGING BEHIND. 5 OUT OF 5 SPROUTED OUTDOOR. NOW THATS A GOOD RESULT. USUALLY SPROUTING OUTDOORS IS DIFFICULT B/C CHANGES IN DAY/NIGHT TEMP IS BIG AND HUMIDITY IS LOW. PLUS NEED TO KEEP THE SOIL MOIST IS DIFFICULT OUTDOOR B/C THE SUN TEND TO TRY UP THE TOP 1/2" OF SOIL. I DO HAVE 1 STRAGLER STRUGGLING TO GROW. HOPEFULLY, SHE WILL CATCH UP. NOT GONNA TRAIN THESE. I WANT TO SEE HOW TALL THEY WILL GROW W/O TRAINING. WILL IT REALLY REACH OVER 1M FOR ME?

The plant grew easily enough, with a few bouts of deficiencies, but it hermed out on me and basically wasted 11 weeks on me. Hopefully the fucking thing didnt compromise the other plants i had with it
