11/29 - At this point in the game, plants don't ever look much different day-to-day! I'm wondering, though, if this one is showing her starting to fade... it's either that or she's needing some stronger PK nutes... any thoughts? 12/2 - I'm going to start winding her down... gotta pick up some Ripen and some Flawless Finish ... Probably going to have to shorten the period of time I use these products but hell, she's pretty used to me screwing up - LOL! 12/03 - so my local grow store was out of Ripen - so I guess I'm going to forget that one... I'm going to let her go until Tuesday when she will be exactly 13 weeks old and start a 3-day flush using General Hydroponics FloraKleen (they also did not have Flawless Finish!).... Planning to chop her next Saturday unless the amber hasn't really made its presence known... We'll see.... I'm just going to go by what she tells me... but it really IS time, old girl... it really is. 12/04 - Doing a bucket change today, she's going to an EC of 0.2-0.4 or thereabouts and I'm not going to worry about the pH - my tap water is about 7.5 so that's what she's getting unless I relent and drop it to the upper 6's - I'm just not going to overly concern myself with it. I think her bulking has finished and SHE needs to finish up. Found a few amber on leaves in the middle of the plant and I know those can really be rather ignored .... but I'm still concerned about the trichs on the main cola - haven't seen much change between milky and clear for a while now... so it's puzzling to me. Maybe the drop in EC will kick her into truly finishing... if it doesn't, I can always bring the EC back up, the pH back down and keep her going... She's always been my "experiment" - always been my "tester" - so why not experiment at this stage of her life as well?!

Increased CO2 slightly to keep above 1200PPM. Also slightly adjusted A/C schedule to bring temps up to 78F-80F during lights on and 66F lights off. Turned humidity down slightly to keep it closer 50%. * Topped off reservoir to ~20-gallons. ** CalMag+ - 5ML per gallon ** Mills Nutrients Vitalize - 0.5ML per Gallon ** Mills Nutrients Basis A - 15ML per Gallon ** Mills Nutrients Basis B - 15ML per Gallon ** Mills Nutrients Start-R - 4ML per Gallon ** H2O2 - 10ML per gallon ** 1.25ML PHup per gallon Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 7:00PM-7:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 9:30PM * 2.50 EC * 5.8 PH * 69.26F * ~20 gallons * Topped off to ~20-gallons Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 20-hours (8:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 8:00AM Lights On (100%) * Gavita LEDs Off 4-hours (4:00AM - 8:00AM) * UV Bars Off 24-hours Air control: 69F-75F (75F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 45%-60% (59% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60% RH (Lights Off) ~1274PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~680PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 42 - March 23, 2021 Yesterday evening modified CO2 and Temperature settings in the room. CO2 has consistently been between 1200-1300 ppm with temps ramping up to 81F during lots on today. (Using scheduler with A/C to gradually increase temps when lights first come on and decrease them last couple hours before lights off). Girls seem to be liking it. Can see signficant difference in growth since yesterday. Last week, before modifying resevoir to DTW config, I noticed what looked like could be Zinc / Iron deficiency mainly in F7 (maybe mag, not 100% sure). It was only impacting newest growth with yellowing in the leaves. Don't believe it has spread to new leaves, but as leaves get larger definitely looks more obvious. Continuing to monitor and watch for any further advancement of issue.

Second week with the mini humidifier here and so far mixed results. I need something with larger capacity so I don't have to refill it every single day, but still small enough to fit the IKEA box. Strongly considering to add a heated mat too at some point. There seems to be quite a bit of temperature difference between the plant and the bottom of the pot. Maybe just some insulations. Sooo many things to try, but let's focus on not overfeeding them 😃

Hey farmers, Week 12 was pretty chill compared to the previous one. My plant is starting to look and smell like the real deal with all that stickiness and aroma. The buds are getting bigger too, but I can't help but worry about the foliage. I think I might have let it grow too much, but it's too late to do anything about it now. On top of that, I'm pretty sure the leaf damage is from the LED light burn again. Unfortunately, I can't do much to fix it since I've already maxed out my vertical space. But hey, at least I know what the problem is, right? To try and counteract it, I decided to reduce the feed this week since I noticed some nutrient pooling. Hopefully, that will help prevent any more damage from happening. All in all, the plant seems to be doing well and I'm excited to see how she turns out in the end.

Week 4 – Things Are Looking Good Starting off Week 4 with a little experiment – decided to try a SCROG on one of the 7 autos, just to see how she takes it. So far, so good – she’s bouncing back nicely. These F1s are really something! The rest of the girls are doing well under LST, spreading out slowly and steadily. Everyone looks healthy, and growth has been pretty consistent all around. All in all, a smooth week so far. The tent’s looking better every day – curious to see how things develop from here.

Soaptini another winner from lit farms. The plants leaves are turning a black color very pretty with deep purple stems. It’s loving up to its name with some buds that are so frosty they look white like soap and they smell of a gas soap smell. Also the nugs are kinda small with an odd bud structure and odd growth structure. I think it has a little to much breeding and crossing done to it without stableazing the genetics. I’m sure if grown several plants there would be a huge pheno variation good thing I got a pretty plant from the lottery. Great smell should be some gas.

The orange 🍊 sherbet has finally made it to her own tent,,,and although she lost a couple branches in some early stage LST,,she’s looking healthy and showing signs of a good recovery,,she’s under the TS 1000 now,,after being under SF 1000 since she was popped,,,I’m interested to see if she might start making some ground on The Apricot Auto,,who she was bunking with ,,now that she has the Centre Stage,,😁🔥🥦👍💚💚💚💚💚

Harvest Report – Blue Sunset Sherbert The weed turned out absolutely phenomenal! The colors were stunning – incredibly dark, almost black, with deep purple hues that really popped. It was harvested at Day 80, with about 20% amber trichomes – just the right timing for a balanced effect. Check out the pictures – they speak for themselves! Stay tuned for the smoke report! --- Erntebericht – Blue Sunset Sherbert Das Weed ist einfach phänomenal geworden! Die Farben waren atemberaubend – richtig dunkel, fast schwarz, mit tiefvioletten Tönen, die richtig hervorgekommen sind. Geerntet wurde bei Tag 80, mit etwa 20% bernsteinfarbenen Trichomen – genau der richtige Zeitpunkt für einen ausgewogenen Effekt. Schaut euch die Fotos an – sie sprechen für sich! Bleibt dran für den Smoke Report!

What a ride, Made some mistakes and missteps along the way but I learned so much about these plants and the intense care and attention that goes into growing quality herb 😵 Next grow I think I will stake branches instead of the scrog so I can easily reach/rotate or lift plants. I definitely need to focus on growing fewer larger branches off each plant because trimming larfy/airy popcorn nugs from all these little branches that popped up during flower is no fun😡. Probably should take my time more with the next one, I received a Dr Grinspoon seed so that obviously will force me to extended the flower time, might go longer in veg too removing more leaves/branches before flipping. Overall besides the trimming hell I've been in for the last week This was so much fun and I can't wait to go again and improve on my methods, try new ones and learn even more 😁 Thanks for checking out my first Diary, FatalFarmer

Thoses ladies are smelling strong. One is about 2 week late on the other, i think he got different phenotype, and quite sure that the late one will have a bigger harvest. They are healthy and strong. I'll start to wash the first one in something like a week. Everything is going well 😎

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is the new release of Fastbuds first CBD strain. https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/cbd-crack CBD Crack is a superchill euphoric hazer and medical marvel, rapidly becoming our anytime favorite. Perfect for wake & bakes, this autoflower strain guarantees a mellow, positive and focused high. Crack CBD is FastBuds' latest medicinal wonderbreed, delivering a rock-solid 6% CBD index. These distinguished, colorful plants autoflower beautifully in pine tree style. Lovely purpling and abundant frost adorn quality buds from top to bottom, with harvests of up to 250g per plant within 75 days of seeding. TASTE & AROMA Its distinctive flavor combines rustic and pungent tones with hints of citrus and cinnamon. THE HIGH EFFECT Contrasting robust CBD with lower THC, this bud induces a delightfully soothing, uplifting, low-anxiety effect which allows brain and body to function, while instantly easing symptoms and struggles. HOW IT GROWS CBD Crack boasts vigorous early growth, with full blooming around week 5-6, good frosting with a nice scent by week 8, and flowering in week 10 or 11. Ponytail her to get the side branches out & up and form some nice colas. Try 500ml of feed every other day, from day 14-17 up to week 4, and increasing as required thereafter. 70cm is a good height to reach, resulting in around 120 grams of bud weight. We recommend a bit of Low Stress Training to improve light penetration, and experimentation with light defoliation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-10-09. Week 8 starts and the girls are at day 55 from germination. The nr 1 is 61 cm high and stacking up in the budsites and smells sweet, blueberry/rasberry and nettles. Nr 2 is 39 cm high and smell sweet, lemon, berry, nettels and mint. One of them have som nuteburn in the tips and the second one i burnt the top on the hps lamp when i was replacing it in the room. They drink about 3 liters every day and are frosty and sticky. This is a awesome girl to grow this far and they look and smell beautiful. What i have seen here in GD, this strain is harvested between week 9-11 so its getting closer.

Start of Week 11 - Day 71 07/12: It seems as if Annie’s stretch is slowing down. She’s now at about 30” tall and she has a lot of colas poking out from her base. Aaliyah and Alexis have stopped their height at 34”. Alexis’s buds are starting to get bigger. The buds in Aaliyah’s main cola are starting to connect and are also getting bigger. Aaliyah’s bigger buds are also getting coated in trichomes. The smell is still pretty minimal. Based on the visual changes it appears that Alexis is about a week behind Aaliyah and Annie is about three weeks behind Aaliyah. Since this is my first grow I’m not too sure on harvesting time, but I’d say Aaliyah will be ready first and she still has a few weeks left in her. They are losing some leaves closer to the base, but they are looking amazing overall. It’s hard to believe it’s been 70 days since I put the seeds in water. Time really flies. 07/16: Playing the waiting game and it isn’t easy, but it will be worth it. The ladies are at different stages of flowering, so I’ve decided that next week I’m going to start giving them different doses of nutrients.
