Week thirteen for Francos Fullgas! Day 39 of 12/12. She's just doing her thing and despite some watching and watering there wasn't much to do this week :) Unfortunately she is a bit overfed, but can't manage to get every plant different nutrients so she has to take what she gets. Really love this phase of a plants life, when all the work is showing in a steady progress and the most needed thing is patience.

In my first few grows, I was hitting around 30 grams of dry weight, my buds weren't "fattening up", and I was underwhelmed by my results. So, I started again, and I've completely rebuilt my grow area. Lessons learnt: 1. Light REALLY REALLY REALLY matters! I started out by using a 35w led panel. I then "upgraded" to a cheap 100w grow light. I thought these would be good enough, and to some extent they were. However, since the rebuild, I invested in a Mars Hydro TS1000, which was significantly more expensive than the other two. I'm absolutely astounded by the results. If you're starting your grow journey, buy the best you can afford. The light is the most important part of the build, and if you get that right, the rest is a doddle. 2. Tents are worth the money. I originally had my stealth grow up in the loft, but have instead bought a small budbox tent, and that, combined with the light, has made a huge difference to the maintenance of a stable growing environment. For the first time, I am seeing fat buds, and it's a thrill. I at last know what people mean now when they say their buds are fattening up, because mine are visibly 2 or 3 times bulkier than those of my first 4 or 5 grows. And there's a lot of them. Previously I'd get the main bud on the main stem, and some smaller buds around that. My smaller buds are now almost equal in size to my main before, and my main makes me drool. I cannot wait to harvest. 3. Control pH. Stay on top of this, and keep it in the optimal range to the best of your ability. Buy a chap pH meter, and do your measures regularly. Make adjustments to the best of your ability. This means doing maths, and I've yet to get a formula that works well enough to be precise in terms of weights and measures of up/down agents, but small changes rather than wild swings are the way forward. 4. Try not to stress your girls out. I've had two grows go hermie on me. Too much LST, too much chopping and too much variation in conditions - water, nutrients and environment. 5. Don't give up. I'm not much of a smoker, but I so very much enjoy being a gardener. There's something deeply satisfying in knowing that you are getting it right. Sort of plays to my competitive nature. I'll take some pictures later, and show you what I mean.

New week in the marshydro set-up 4'x4' tent FC-4800 lamp Got a new toy this weekend so i can read out how much PPFD it will produce still learning to use the thing but it will come Not a lot to say see you next week getting winter frost up in here 💪🏻 30/11/21 made a video today enjoy Of the beauty's 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 visit www.marshydro.eu for your best gear and use the PROMO CODE: DEVILSBUD Some info about the Marshydro FC-4800 Superb Quality LED Chips: The whole light is composed of 1206 pcs Samsung lm301b and Osram 660nm chips. More than two times as many LEDs are used to drive the grow lights at low currents and to avoid overdrive. Quality is guaranteed and efficiency is up to 2.8 μmol/j. Even PAR Distribution and High PPFD Output: The multi-light bar design and the densely distributed light chips enable the LED grow lights to achieve the optimum PPFD required for plant growth over the entire effective coverage area. Specifically Designed Spectrum: To ensure even plant growth, blue and red light are enhanced on the basis of a full spectrum combination. Not only does this accelerate plant growth, but it also improves the yield and quality of the plants at the same time. Dimming Daisy Chain Function: The dimming function saves on electricity costs and enables brightness from 10% to 100% for the different stages of plant growth. A single master light can connect up to 30 lights in a daisy-chain system. Business LED Grow Light: The light's wavy heat sink dissipates heat quickly and the IP65 waterproof allows the light to operate in humid conditions. 180° collapsible feature for easier installation. All these features provide favorable assistance for commercial cultivation. And some tent info ●【Lock All Light Insid】MARS HYDRO Grow Tent Interior is made of diamond mylar.

Try to don't stress, after topping, before cut a big leaves. It's my sixth one, and it's worked for every other. This light is just Super for a one or two plants.

Cosechada antes de lo deseado porque estoy sin hierba y ya me apetece fumar algo. Ha quedado una planta compacta bien desarrollada, con unos preciosos tonos purpura y unos cogollos prensados y llenos de resina.

22.04.25 VD#43 Hey Growmie's 😁 Der Caramba geht es wunderbar sie macht sich sehr sehr gut. Heute gab es wieder Nährstoffe Hesi Wurzel Complex 5ml/L Hesi TNT Complex 5ml/L Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Jetzt ist es nicht mehr lange dann geht es in die Blütephase dann wird sich Ihr ganzes Potential zeigen. Es wird definitiv sehr fein, jetzt muss Sie aber noch ein bißchen Geduld haben. Nächste Woche gibt es das nächste Update danke für den Stop bleibt Sauber and Stay High. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 🤩🍀 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 22.04.25 VD#43 Hey Growmie's 😁 The Caramba is doing wonderfully well. Today I gave it nutrients again Hesi Root Complex 5ml/L Hesi TNT Complex 5ml/L Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. It won't be long now before the flowering phase begins and the full potential will be revealed. It will definitely be very fine, but now she has to be a little patient. Next week there will be the next update thanks for the stop stay clean and stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 🤩🍀

"Hi, I received my pH meter this week, so from week 6 onwards, I'm aiming for a pH value of 6.0 - 6.5. This week, I noticed that the plant in the small pot received too much fertilizer. The other two 7.5-liter fabric pots also received double the recommended amount according to the feeding schedule, but they don't show any signs of over-fertilization."

The ladies are still doing great and stacking very nicely! The trichomes on both pheno’s are insane, super dense buds too. The leaves do look very very dark green with slight tip burns, so I dosed down the nutrients slightly from 1100+ to 950 ppm. The grow light makes the leaves look more light green than they actually are (check the night shots). Both plant smell super super sweet, not really blueberry (yet) though.

03/01 - (M) - Currently in pre-flower - She is growing amazingly - No deficiencies, wilted leaves or visual que's - I have changed her feeding program to daily micro-dosing between clean water and nute feed alternating days - She will be transferred into the 4x4 flower tent within the week. 03/01 - (C) - The clones are coming along nicely - Transplanted the 7 into 1 gallon pots last night - The substrate is the same as the mother with an added top dressing of worm castings last night - Increased feed formula on some of the nutes (Nitrogen/Silica and Cal-Mag) - High humidity/High heat is the name of the name the game - Specs to follow Clone specs - Week 2 Height - 13 Inches Temps - 82°(f) Feed Temp - 65° (f) Humidity - 79 - 81% Watering Vol - 2 cups every 3 days Nutrient Feed - Nitrogen - Silica - Cal-Mag - Microbes - Kelp - Horti Grow - Myco 03/04 (M) - She has been transferred into the 4x4 - Her setup run is identical to the 3x3 setup with the difference being the 4x4 has 2 AC infinity fans and a 6 inch carbon filter - Her nute feeds are twice a day running of the drip emitter (9 drippers) watering for about a minute. 03/04 (C) - The clones have transplanted without any issues into their 1 gallon pots - all 7 will be transplanted into 5 gallon pots in about a month - They are running alone in the 2x2 tent until next transplant.

So, I've switched to blooming after all. So far so good, except for the fact that I broke my lab PH meter, which is quite expensive. There is also a lot of humidity. In between when the AC is not running, the humidity goes up to 80%, which is no joke at all. I will either buy a dehumidifier or turn on the air conditioner for 24 hours. I don't know what to choose yet, the dehumidifier consumes a lot of electricity, maybe I should just leave the AC on for 24 hours. Yeah, growing in hot countries is not a good idea ^_^.

Started LST today but as of Day 22 Mazar was 24 cm Daiquiri was 13 cm and Auto Ultimate was 22 cm. They are doing really well and growing fast!! Daiquiri is definitely shorter then the other two but I believe that is her nature.

anche questa settimana è andata abbastanza bene ieri il tempo di pioggia a bagnato un pochino la ragazza, questo è il momento più critico inquanto i buds stanno maturando è ci vorrebbe sole e e tempo secco, non 80% di umidità, speriamo bene

Excellent week again for this young lady. She has grown heavily, and her 5th node is up and spreading its leaves. What this means is, yup. She got topped. Roots are looking good, and this also gives me a change to do a bit of pruning. Also allowed me to top of the clay pebbles, as I definitely started her a little low in the netted pot.

The whole experience so far, to me, has been interesting. But I suppose now we’ve arrived at the point where things get really interesting. Did one more round of heavy defoliation this week to really get all the bud sites exposed to light. Not a significant amount of stretching with this strain.

Ahh shit, here we go again. After 2 month, I'm ready to grow again. This time it's gonna be Lemon AK, cuz its summer you know, not indica time. I'm using same lamp, same DIY growbox but with different reflective material. Gonna use Air Pot , i think it will be better than smartpot, will see. I have chosen some interesting combinating of nutrients for this plant, some from Advanced Nutrients and GHE, hope it works great. First seed that i started to germinate on 23/6 didnt germinate, i guess it was my fault cuz have put seed in refrigerator, and temperature was bouncing between 7.8c- 14c degrees, i thing it was a problem, so no pretension to fastbuds, you guys are awesome. Bought a new timer, set to 18/6 light. 3/7 Bought and started to germinate new seed, checked 24 hours later and its already opened, will plant after 48 hours, mb earlier. 7/7 Planted seed today. 9/7 After morning watering and turning on the lights, plant finally sprouted. 10/7 is first day, watering 2 times a day, on morning and evening. About 50-70ml under stem using syringe, rest 400+ml around plant. Day 2 - 500ml with RootPlus. Day 3 - 500ml with nutrients. Day 6 - Switched lights from 18 to 20 hours. Fans are now turned on 24/7. Intake fan gives a plant some nice breeze. Had no time so watered at night, 1L water under and near plant, and another 1.5L all over pot so it can last until tomorrow after's morning. Day 7 - Plant is showing great progress. No water today. New set of leaves showed up. Very happy with this week. Peace.

Week 7 of flowering 4 Purple Push Pops PPP (grew 2023 outside). Clones from my clone guy 1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, GH 3-part+ flourolicious, calimagic, SI, chelated iron, and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension. Garage grow SoCal This week the girls had a hot week in the garage averaging 88°. We started filling out, got more mature, and started showing colors. We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. I’m having reservoir funk issues so I’m switching to jacks RO this week. .8g a day. This weeks accomplishments: Split electric load (safety) This week: Switch nutes upgrade reservoir and lines next week. Long term issues It’s hot. Straight 90s this week. So the same - Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves Preventing pest and mold issues during high humidity conditions. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. Best of luck gromies. Check out my black cherry gelato grow. Just posted my outdoor light dep grow - side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows side by side 👍

Buds fattening up nice

here we see how the girls are advancing, the buds are becoming clearer and clearer which makes us feel that it will be a decent harvest at least, we cross our fingers.
