Hello GD Crew!!! I’m glad to finally be back with a new diary. A LOT has happened since my last diary. The large room I was using back then got infested with spider mites. For a while I thought I had them beat, but they came back with a vengeance. So I thoroughly cleaned my 2x4 tent and set it up in the opposite side of the house. However, that part of the house is also now my new man cave and was under construction until a few months ago (its still not completely done yet, but close enough). I have also switched back to LED lighting. I’m using a pair of Spider Farmer SF1000’s (100w) LED’s. I was using a 315w CMH fixture but felt I was getting better results with my old blurple ViparSpectra’s (both of which have died). Also, it was getting too hot in the tent with the CMH. To be completely honest the best weed I’ve ever grown was using a 1000w HPS, but that could possible melt a 2x4 tent and I’d be tripping circuit breakers all the time again. After a lot of research it looked like the Spider Farmer SF1000’s were the best bang for the buck in the LED market these days. They have the right components (Samsung LM301B diodes and MeanWell drivers) and have great specs. I was able to purchase them on Amazon Prime Day for $129/each (USD). For soil I’m using Coast of Main Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix. I had been previously trying to amend and reuse old soil or mix old soil 50/50 with new soil and in retrospect that was a mistake. The PH was totally unpredictable as were what nutrients were available or deficient. I felt like I was always trying to fix soil problems and one thing would lead to another. So, from now on its fresh soil in every pot. I’m using 3 gallon pots with self watering reservoirs at the bottom. In addition to the Coast of Main Stonington Blend I’m also using Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix. I filled the 3 gallon pots with the Coast of Main Stonington Blend first, then dig out a hole in the middle about the size of a grapefruit and filled that hole with the Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix. Then I planted the seeds about knuckle deep in the middle of the Seedling Mix. This seemed to work great, both pots had small seedlings appear in 5 days. This diary will focus primarily on FastBuds BlackBerry, but I am also growing a DinaFem Critical+ Auto at the same time. I’ve grown both of these strains a few times in the past with mixed results. But, I’m hoping this grow will be far greater than those in the past. My plan is to allow the Coast of Main Stonington Blend act as the ‘super soil’ it is supposed to be and not add any additional nutrients. I will however be adding RealGrowers Recharge on a regular basis (I love that stuff, it really makes a difference) and will probably also add some CalMag once in a while. But that’s all. Additionally, I do not plan on doing much training with these girls. I will LST bend them over at a 45 degree angle around the time they hit their flowering stretch, but that’s all. Bending at a 45 degree angle gives better exposure to lower branches and allows those lower branches to produce larger tops. Hoping for the best!!! Please feel free to comment and follow. I’ll be updating this diary weekly and will be doing videos in the future. Here’s a breakdown of the equipment: 1 - 2x4x6 tent 2- Spider Farmer SF1000 LED fixtures (100w/ea) 1- Carbon filter 2- 3 gallon pots w/self watering reservoirs Coast of Main Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix RealGrowers Recharge Also, here’s what Coast of Main says about their Stonington Blend: “Coast of Maine Organic Products Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix is a complex “super soil” designed for high performance container growing. It works well with tomatoes, and, where growing cannabis and medical marijuana is legal, growers have reported tremendous results. This soil incorporates mycorrhizal fungi, kelp, fish bone and alfalfa meal, as well as worm castings, peat, coir and lobster compost.” Here are the specs on the Spider Farmer SF1000’s: Materials: Samsung LM301B diodes and MeanWell Drivers Power Draw: 100w PPFD: 922 umols/s @ 12” PPF: 250 umol/m2/s PPE: 2.5 umol/J Yield: 2.5g/W Spectrum: 660-665nm,3000K,5000K, IR 760nm LED: 218 pcs

Every week I watch my girls grow into beautiful budding trees only difference is now she in flowering I take her outside to absorb some of the beautiful sunshine and she's loving every bit of it. I let her stay outside for 8 hours in nature then back inside for another 8 hours of led full spectrum and turn out my lights for another 8 hr she's an Auto so she loving every minute of this ...... this is the results ⬆️

Wk4, Day22, 4/27/22 Wk4, Day23, 4/28/22, continued defoliation and tied down tops, each plant has at least 6 tops Wk4, Day27, 5/2/22, no issues requiring adjustments Wk4, Day28, 5/3/22, heavy tie downs and defoliation to finish Wk4

What’s going on lady’s an gentleman. GSC auto is going on w/8 an is killing in bud production! Had slight cal/mag issue got that fixed using roots organic cal+mag @1.5 tbs in a gallon of water an top feed. Rest of the week she got bottom feed. She is currently closer to the light an getting 49 DLI, RH@55%, Day temp is 81-82 degrees. Night temps is drop to 70-71 degrees. Other then that I’m stoked to see this girl finish she about a week or two out. An sofar just slaying it. That about all for this week Happy growing everyone an happy holidays

Let’s Go Day 52 of 🌺!! At 101 days old , these girls are looking an smelling oh so amazing! 2 of the Pre 98 Bubbas and both Dirtyblondes started getting flush on Saturday, so they will continue flush the rest of the time for 12 days an they will be ready for 48 hrs of darkness. While the 2 other Pr 98 Bubbas will remain on same feeding through rest of this week a most likely start getting flush by next week!! Hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day as well as great holiday weekend, happy holidays keep them eyes peeled for next weeks updates , Cheers y’all 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

Start rinsing day 71 💧🚿 Light 35 cm day 72 💡 Trichomes pics last day for my girl 🍊🤩😭

End of Week 5 Brewed a nice veg-specific compost tea and the ladies loved it. Trying to make sure the soil stays nice and moist to keep the microbes happy and letting the top 3 cm of the topsoil dry before each watering. The ladies have gained some momentum and they're growing at a rapid pace . I also performed some HST by defoliating a few fan leaves and softly pinching and bending some of the stems to open up the canopy whilst keeping the stress at a minimal. Pest Report: Didn't have much issues up until now... I noticed about 5-10 tiny little thrips on some of the leaves and I applied an organic microbial insecticide (Agro Organics Bio-Insek, Google it!) that seems to have taken care of the problem. Now I will apply it weekly to make sure those buggers are ELIMINATED.

Esta semana añadimos el otro led ts 1000 para seguir regulando (añadiendo más potencia lumínica) Agregamos paja,para una mejor retención de la humedad y no se seque primero la parte superficial de la tierra (uno de nuestros mayores errores al querer calcular si todo el cepellon está seco o sigue teniendo algo de humedad,por consecuencia,al volver a regar ,sigue con ese pequeño exceso de humedad) ,con el objetivo de conseguir una mejor vida en nuestro suelo ,con todos los nutrientes orgánicos y la clave,enzynabis,crearemos una buena simbiosis,y lo más importante,natural.

so were almost at harvest, have begun flushing this last week and hopefully will be chopping beginning of next week, then the cure... CAN NOT WAIT TO BUST UP SOME OF THESE NUGS AND PACK THEM IN THE BON 😆

WEEK 1: The plants are now in the first week of the growth phase and appear vital. Plant #3 has a somewhat strange leaf shape that is also slightly curled. I hope that this will even out over the course of the growth phase. At the same time, 7 days ago I prepared the soil for the next pot size with FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer) in a separate container. You can clearly see that the earth is increasingly covered in mycelium. In addition, the earth already smells pleasantly of forest floor. - Light Power: 40% - Soil: BioBizz Light Mix - Additives: Dynomyco mycorrhiza granules

Plant freshly cropped smells very gassy, big trichomes I will post the harvest once dried✌️

All looking good😁 Also made improvements to my room

Soaked seed for 18 hours and planted into coco , 2 days later shes roaring along .

Ragazzi è stata una vera soddisfazione di aver avuto l'opportunità di provare una genetica di SSSC 💜 Li ringraziamo tantissimo per l'opportunità che ci hanno dato e ci rivedremo molto presto con un'altra delle loro favolose genetiche... molto probabilmente una della fioritura rapida! Coming soon on CampaCavallo 🏆 💚👍🏻

I think 12 liter airpot was too small, i opened the pot and was one rootball

Probablemente en un par de días empiece con el lavado de raíces y aumente progresivamente la defoliación.

Week 14 Day 98 Almost time, leaves yellowing, drinking slow, white pistols starting to orange and shrink, bottom buds getting bigger, & small amount of amber trichomes starting to appear. Giving the larger two only full tilt nutes before flushing. Keeping the smallest on extended bloom time.
