Update May, 20 Another 1.5l with week 4 dose. Takti recovered from topping. He grew massive leaves as well which wasn’t so obvious while he drooped. I also added training clips and wire to Samy as he grows „longer“. Takti is still too short for that. The clip would be too long. Update May, 18 Watered 1.5L each today. Used week 4 of the feeding schedule, so I skipped week 3. I also inserted a first scrog net to help with LST. I wanted to try using two nets this time, so this will be the lower one. The reason I hadn’t put it in yet was to not cast shade on the plants, so I placed it below everything. It has a nice side use: you can put lower hanging leaves up to make space for the water spray. Can only recommend putting the scrog net in as early as possible, in case you didn’t know that already.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 😆😆 Update May 17 Another week, another progress update. Had a bit of a stressful situation a few days ago when Takti started drooping. Must be because he had a little root damage during transplantation. You can see it in the pictures from last week. Every other parameter was the same for Samy and he didn’t droop. I still set the light timer back to 20 hours, and he fully recovered. I’ve since increased it back to 21 hours and will go back to 22 in steps of 30 minutes. They are massive chuggers. I give them more than double the water I gave Ryu and Ken in my last grow, and they still handle it like it’s nothing. This week is also topping time. Started the week by topping both of them, as well as defoliating their single-finger leaves and the shoots coming from there. They should be fully recovered by the end of the week. Fingers double-u'd. Last but not least, I uploaded the timelapse, enjoy! I now need something to hold my iPhone in place facing the plants in their larger pots to continue it, and right now I don’t have the money for that. But I’ll see what I can do, maybe I’ll find something and can keep it going. On the upside: before, I was dependent on my gaming PC running to record the lapses. Now my iPhone can record for days without me having to babysit anything, so as soon as I have something to hold it in place, I can keep those going till the end of the grow, no problem.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay tuned and happy growing!

Looks like this might be the last week for this girl. Was hoping to see more change in tricomes but not sure if worth the wait. Give it a few more days and see what the loop says.

Been a joy too grow this tester , been healthy from start too finnish , green buzz nutrients kept this plant healthy and productive , this plant is slowly begening too ripen , so next week the flush will begin on her , I will hopefully get another 2 weeks out of her yet , so a nice two week flush ,

*Increased PPM from 750 to 850. Possibly 900. *Noticed some of the leaves showing deficiencies. *Transplant will be in 1 week for sure this time.

Grew a bit lol

Hello everybody! Here we are a week later and I’m starting to see some nice improvements and developments. This week I fed all plants pretty heavily with Recharge and Dolomite Lime (and a little Cal Mag). The plants seemed to like it, the color is really coming back to a nice shade of green instead of the pale yellow’ish green. The FastBuds Blackberry is a beautiful shade of purple. I’m going back to my normal nutrient routine for one more week then I'll flush for a week before cutting her down. The 2 Blackberry's I cut down last week were kind of scrawny, but I did smoke one of the main cola buds and it was tastier than I expected, very fruity. It also got me HIGH AF!! I'm looking forward to how this last one finishes up. One negative is I seem to have inherited some bugs from my wife. She asked me to put one of her outdoor plants in the room so it would survive the winter, well it looks like that plant was infested with bugs. The little f’ers had a feast on some of the leaves. My wife gave me the OK to toss the plant, so with the plant removed it should be fairly easy to irradiate any remaining bugs with some sticky paper. I’d like to say thank you to all who answered my question regarding recommend reading on cannabis. I’m selecting the answer for the Grow Bible by Greg Green because I was actually unaware of that one. I’m familiar with the Cervantes and Rosenthal versions but not Greg Greens. I’ll be ordering that book after I receive and finish “True Living Organics” by The Rev (should be here tomorrow). This week I have a new question for my GD friends…. CO2? I have not been using CO2 but EVERY book I read recommends using it, I’m not prepared to go out and buy a CO2 tank, regulator, etc… at this time. Has anyone ever used one of those CO2 bags? Or do you have any DIY CO2 solutions you can recommend? I’m looking forward to your answers on CO2. I’ll leave you this week with another interesting excerpt from “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear: “I prefer to use high-pressure sodium lamps. With the exception of LED's, HPS lamps are the most efficient source of light you can buy, both in terms of light output and light spectrum. Having read nearly every book on the subject of growing pot, I feel that their authors tend to overemphasize the importance of light spectrum. You do not need to alternate between metal halides (for growth) and sodiums (for flowering). That is an oversimplification of the plant's light requirements. You may do this if you like--it certainly won't hurt--but I firmly believe that the gains are just not great enough to justify the cost of the extra MH lamp.” -Read Spear

Final weeks..

Blütetage 50 Es wurde Anfang dieser Blütewoche noch einmal mit Dünger wie angegeben gedüngt. Ab Morgen (17.02) wird für 7-14 Tage nur noch mit pH angepassten Wasser gegossen. Die Ladys sehen noch sehr Vital aus. Es gibt aber bereits ca. 30% milchige trichome in den größeren blüten. Ich bevorzuge allerdings eher 30% Bernstein farbene. Es riecht sehr Fruchtig im Zelt und die Ausbeute wird zwar nicht außergewöhnliche, aber ausreichend denke ich. ☺️

Meine Pflanze wachsen nun seit 2 Wochen nicht mehr. Bleiben bei 77 cm stehen. Die Buds werden kompakter und der Geruch wird intensiver. Die Parameter im Zelt sind gut und stabil. Eine Pflanze bekommt gelbliche Blätter. Es ist Sweet Candy. Alle anderen sind noch schön grün. Leider durch das Licht der NDL nicht so gut zu sehen. Habe mit einem Mikroskop versucht den Reifegrad der Blüten zu sehen aber es wackelt alles und ich kann kaum was erkennen. Es ist ein LED Taschenmikroskop. Bekomme eher einen Knick in der Pupille. Hat jemand einen Tip oder Empfehlung für einen besseren Weg die Trichome zu begutachten. Je näher die Ernte ansteht desto ungeduldiger werde ich. Gestartet bin ich am 19.11.23. Es sind nun 18 Wochen um und ich bin zufrieden. Werde euch weiter auf dem laufenden halten und freue mich natürlich auch mal über einen Like oder Kommentar oder Tip über den Erntezeitpunkt. Bis dahin wünsche ich allen Growern eine gute Zeit.

Will get to this later and update with a dry weight hopefully if it allows me. 260g with stem on Sat.. Mon am 116g. Fan off for a day @57%

OG and CBD got the chop yesterday. Sorry I forgot to take pics of it. I was rushing through it as we had dinner plans and it took way longer than I expected. Was also pretty baked which didn’t help lol. They’re currently drying at buddy’s house so will take pics next week. OG was probably a bit early but I don’t mind an energetic high. She was also battling rot so I wanted to salvage as much as I could. Should get close to a pound from her and maybe a half pound from CBD. Gonna give Shark Shock one more week as she’s a bit behind the others. I’m not worried about rot as she’s been the most resilient. Temps are gonna get to the low single digits so I hope it doesn’t stress her too much. Her leaves are turning purple from the colder weather already.

Easy strain to grow. Responds well to training . Good yielder too . I had a problem with the gorilla skittles plant. It went hermi in the last week. So i ended up trimming an ounce off her and using the rest for hash . Gelato wasn't a great finisher either. Harvested around 2 ounce off her . Smoke is average but a nice fruity flavour. The alien Ogs were excellent though I will be definetly trying them again in the future . The high was just what I wanted . Strong but relaxing , you can either get really creative on this strain or you can giggle a lot . The after effects make you sleepy too so maybe a better mid day/night time smoke . Alien pheno 1 was super sticky with purple hues throughout the buds . Probably the best girl I've ever grown. Gave me 5 Oz of top quality . Next time I shall be going for all alien Ogs . It's an excellent strain. Total weights Alien og 2plants - 250g dried Gelato 1 plant - 56g Gorilla skittles 32g plus hash 334g dried buds . Not a great return from 480 watts. But I'm happy with how the alien og turned out. I have decided to give some autos a go next as this one was a long grow for one of them to go hermi . So will be trying some Strawberry pies from Fast Buds . Happy growing 🌱

Day count continues to climb as the last standing widow continues to put on weight. Still no signs of browning leaves. Being fed 1/2 flowering nutes every 3-4 days

_____ Week 14 | Day 92 - 98 | 7th week of Flower ______ Day 93🌞💧 - 3 liter each Plant, small drain. Day 94 🌞 - Since I'm a bit afraid of mold, I run the fans at a higher speed, which causes the leaves to rub against each other and causes physical damage to the leaves. A few tips are burnt but nothing to worry about. ------------------------------------------------------- Temp. avg. - 22,6° Hum. avg. - 53,6 %

So as I'm not home this week i will just update what i did on my last day home. I added another reservoir, put a pump in it and a fill hose up into my main reservoir (which is 4 feet off the floor to gravity feed my blumat system). Installed a JB and wired in my pump and 2 level switches. They are wired in series with the switches in the normally closed position so the water level will break or make the circuit. Switch 1 is in the main reservoir to call for water and switch 2 is in my spill tray to stop a potential runaway from happening. After getting everything filled to the levels i wanted i did a test run and it worked great. Unfortunately i didn't look closely enough at the specs on the switches and #1 burnt out because it's meant for dc power not ac. My bad , so i hooked up a timer set it for 2 minutes a day as i didn't have time to fix it. I decided that it was a good time to flip over to flower and I'm going with 13/11 lighting schedule see if there's any difference. Happy growing

Growing it was quite a journey. Since I had a lot of changes in my life, I couldn't take the time I wanted to make a good diary, but I still managed to take some pictures. I had some problems since I changed the size of my pots and didn't use LST. One plant grew so tall that it went above the LED, and other plants were too close to the LED. Using three 20L pots in a 60cm x 60cm space was too much; they didn't have enough room. For the next grow, I'll use only two pots and employ SCROG and LST

like my previous experience, easy plant, the Fast Eddy grows almost alone, a real pleasure. a little disappointed by the wet harvested weight, but nice big nuggets. let's go for the dry
