Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Day 21 Veg: Hi all. Hope we are all free and healthy in the grow diaries community this week. It has been a very enjoyable and productive week this week. The purple monkey are gaining a nice size and taking to training really well. Their bases are getting thicker and i am now seeing small white female hairs at their bracts. I think flowering is very close now on these ladies. All three are looking very healthy and green with no signs of any issues to worry about so far. They are all reaching the pots edges with their side branches now so should make a decent sized canopy and bush after the stretch has finished. I did strip lower, small tips out too so that air can reach all of their budsites from underneath too. Banana Mash is a little behind the monkey so far and has no real gender signs yet. The mutant is growing out a little better now but is still looking odd. I have included 3 seeds that came from my last exotic run and where in some of thenbuds that I harvested. I suspect a lemon mimosa xhicked some pollen before I took her/he down and it hit all of the strains except 1. I now have about 100 seeds crossed with the mimosa lemon amd have kept each seed batch separate so I can have some idea of at least the mothers genetics if mimosa isn't daddy !!. They are also doing really well with the Mango cream X being the best looking so far. be interesting to see if they remain autos of just keep growing as photoperiod. I am adding the Megacrop to feeds now as I approach flowering and plan to germinate the next exotic goodies to join the second harvest. ( to follow...) They are all being trained now amd have taken to the idea quite well. I did have a snap on one of the Purple monkey ladies but tape should rescue the buds on that limb hopefully. So there we have it , another good week with plenty to do and the next week should hopefully see the start of some flowering stretch to wrestle with as they explode with growth. lol be well growmies.

this week is going really good! I am flushing right now with just plain water. I was supposed to harvest but I decided to give it another watering since the ppm values were the maximum recommended for harvest and I want as less fertilizer in my buds as possible😁 next time I'll water I'll give them 4/5 liters per plant and when the soil is kinda moist and about to dry I will give them 24 hrs of darkness to increase resin and then FINALLY chop everything off! I'm really excited to try them! they smell really amazing.

Big transformation in 1 week, plants are covered with buds, they didnt get a lot of stretch, the buds are just stacked. I did a massive defoliation on Sunday, removing more or less all the fan leaves i could safetly cut off without damaging bud sites. A lot of light for all the buds. Some problems start to occur. First all the leaves got their tips dry and they twist up, i thought its nute burn but supposedly its cal-mag deficiency, so i am adding it to my nutrients now. I also got attacked by caterpillars, i found a couple but recent bites looks like there is more. Search and destroy mode + BT.

Dropped the 3 seeds in water bath with a little HESI rooting mix, little mycorrhizae. On a heat mat, covered for complete darkness. 24 Hr soak - then seeds moved into own Seed Germinator - Karl’s Bubatz Popper 😂 24 hrs after 22 degrees and 90-95% humidity seeds developed long enough roots to hit the soil. To avoid any chance of damage the cotton pads hit the soil too.

Last week of nutes before 2 week flush. buds have bulked out Nicely had to turn the fan speeds up so the humidity didn’t rise to high overnight. No signs of mold. Whiping tents with antiseptic whipes once and week and vacuuming round tent every few days.

This will be my 1st auto run. Other than one time I was sent some free f1 autos from rqs and I started some but I ended up tossing them for some reason or another. I am actually super excited to try out fastbuds. I have been wanting to try out fastbuds for over a year now. I'm not the greatest with seedlings so I am doing a test run with a 2x2 tent I'm gonna try and grow the best plant I get out if the 3 seeds hopefully it doesn't out grow my small 2x2 tent . Pound cake thou looks like a killer strain with some fat buds can't wait to see how fast fast buds really are. Here we go.

Week 13/4 of Flower and defoliation time yeay ✌️ Day 92/22 watered 2,5l with 2ml grow and 1ml topmax heaven and bloom. looking good. stretching still. supercropping visible yeay. lots of tops. 😍I could not hold myself back and had to defoliate her bushy under growth. So much bottom growth, small popcorn quality, not wanted, bye bye. She is 9 days into proper flower at this point. I didn't think she would stretch too much, no matter the light issue, since she grew rather wide than in height. I'm hopeful all is good. Day 94/24 all good on the top department, but she seems to have successfully used up all the available soil space. ay, so happy there is always something. I should've known and note to myself: DONT VEG TOO LONG WITH TOO SMALL OF A POT. this could/will lead to more waterings more often. poor thing and me. Day 96/26 did I water her in last days? dont know... mmh. shes dry. watering 3l with 1ml grow, 2ml bloom, 1ml topmax, 1ml each activera, algamic and heaven. def. some more. removed bigger leaves. While checking on root growth on both clones, one did not make it, but the other is happy and potted. Took 2 more at defoliation time, this is addicting 😋

Everything is perfect. The plants no longer grow in height, but begin to get bigger. They have 3 weeks left to produce very thick and full flowers, it's impeccable. The 2 “twin towers” ​​rise to almost 93cm. The others are more around 80-85 cm high. The plant that gained space following the death of its sister produces larger, thicker but lower flowers. The others have relatively thin flowers (for now!), but I'm really not worried. With 3 weeks of flowering remaining, the harvest will be excellent! I no longer have the appearance of a polene sac, which is also a good indicator of good health. The harvest should be done around 03/01, which will be precisely 8 weeks of flowering. Knowing that for this variety we must be between 7 and 9, it will be simply perfect! I plan to do 7 days of flushing. But I'm already starting to monitor the tricômes. So another 2 weeks full of nutrients and after that (around 12/27), it will be clear water until the end. Come on, just for the game, I bet the harvest will be around 250g of dry weed. I'm a player :) Chuss guys, we'll talk again next week!

Fattening week, putting more weight on the buds, first brown hairs appearing.. Had to add some support to that huge buds, because this was a windy week and i think it is better prevention than lament the loss later.... used steel string. Feeding with High PK, same as last week: / -WATER- / -BIG ONE- + -TOP BLOOM- + -TOP CANDY- / -WATER- / -TOP BUD- + -TOP BLOOM- + -TOP CANDY- / Good vibes!!!
