Week 9: Day 57-60: Seemed to have gotten the deficiencies(rather PH fluctuations causing them) under control. 4AM#3 took a while to recover but it has stopped progressing for the time being and the buds have continued to bulk up while the pistols start to orange out. 4#1 and #2 are doing good. They recovered faster and started to really bulk up. I'd say 4AM#1 has about 50-70% orange pistils while 4AM#2 and #3 are at about 10% by day 60. Damn like I said last week 4AM#2's buds are gona get huge! One of them tipped over on day 60, had to add support, but quite hard to find a spot when half the branch is the bud... Day 61-63: Continuing to bulk up, the 1.25x Calmg dose on day 60 seemed to do them well! 4AM#3 hasn't been showing any new signs of deficiencies, so that's good! Hoping she won't be too premature when I chop the plants(I am chopping days 73-74, only days I have time), but the pistils are starting to go crazy! Around 50% orange pistols now on 4AM#2 and #3! And 4AM#1 has about 90-95% orange pistils. When I used the handheld microscope, which is hard, the trichomes are almost all milky and some 5% amber on 4AM#1 and about 30-50% milky and a few amber on #2 and #3, seems like it will be just right! Can't wait! Gave em their last big feed of blume nutes on Dy 63, will be giving them plain PH'd water with Regulator till harvest. 10 Days left! almost there! 4AM#3 might look ugly but she still frosty and thicc as hell! Oh and they smell delicious!!! 😵 EDIT: Oh and just wanted to say thank you for all the help you all have given me so far! Oh and shout out to FastBuds, which sent me a message last week saying they were interested in me growing their genetics! They're sending me some free seeds for my next grow! How awesome is that!

11/2: I fed them yesterday except for the 3 x SP's, the short OS(c), and the last Blackberry (a). Those 5 plants were each flushed with 8 gallons of warm water and Liquidsoil. 11/5: I watered the ones that will be harvested tomorrow so hey will be turgid for a rough trim. Took photos of the ones slated for execution. They'll be in the dark til tomorrow night. 11/6: Harvested and washed the 3 x SPs, the last Blackberry, and one of the OS's. Hanging to dry - My closet looks so empty now with only 11 plants in there... 11/7: I flushed all 3 of the Lemon Pies, and the purple Wedding Cheesecake with 8 gallons of warm water each, including Liquidsoil. Everybody else got fed for probably the last time.

10/10/2022 - 64 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 The fifth week of flowering of my Orange Sherbet 🍨🍨🍨 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - this week I keep serving and adding Jungle Indabox Environ X - bud stimulator 🌼🌸🌼 Advanced Nutrients - Big Bud - I canceled the bud stimulator mix and stayed with Jungle Indabox because the girls got a little burnt, the classic brown color appeared on the tips of the leaves 🍃🍂 I stuck with Bud Candy, all my girls need plenty of carbs 🍭🍭 Atami - ATA Calmag - when growing under LED lights it is recommended to use Calmag and Atami is an excellent brand Training: With Orange Sherbet, I didn't do as much defoliation as with BCN, it wasn't necessary, I mainly cut off the large leaves that shade the light 🍃🍃 LST: some of the strings I used to attach the twigs to the edge of the flower pot loosened, so I had to re-tie them 🌴🌴 Light: Believe - the best light of sponsor Mars Hydro TS 1000 💡💡 In general: The girl grows like a typical sativa, has typical long and narrow sativa leaves and despite my training is the tallest of all the girls from the box 🌾🌾 The plant is strong, manages nutrients well, absorbs as needed. The buds form along the entire length of the branches, they are dense and it is already clear that there will be many of them. She Is in full bloom, I expect her to bloom for at least another two weeks 🏵️💮 It smells really wonderful, she revealed her typical fruity scent 🍇🍊 Thanks for the likes and you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @ Targona666 See you soon 😍

FEEDING Plant was given the same nutrient solution as previous week two times per day DIARY This week was probably the worst week of them all in terms of all the problems that happened. Everything started on Day 146 when strong winds were capable of knocking down my plant two times. Plant wasn't demaged but it is a scary experience to see your plant basicaly up side down. Because of strong winds I was forced to move the plant to the different location. While moving one of the dominant branches snapped. I addresed the issue by taping the crack together with tape and securing the branch to the support ring with a metal wire. It was a major damage with an easy fix. The night between days 146 and 147 was accompanied with strong winds and a lot rain. This combination of wind and rain resulted in damage (half of the plant just gave up and bended to the ground) that could be easily fixed just by installing trellis before the flowering started. To prevent the further bending and support the flowers when they start fattening, I wrapped the plant into plastic wire. This was not an easy job so help from a friend was a necessity. When the plant was wrapped I pulled the flowers through the netting and did some rearrannging. The problem with bending was solved, but I discovered some other problems when closely inspecting the buds. First problems were the seeds. Yes some seeds were found. This was probably my fault because I visited the hemp farm and brought home the pollen on my clothes that could produce the seeds. It could also be the fact that I am growing outdoor and the pollen came from copletely different source. Some seeds, while growing outdoors are just inevitble. There was one more thing. I was suspicious about brown tops of some buds. Because I was affraid of what it was, the brown, not so good looking flower was cut off and closely inspected. I was angry to discover the caterpillar. I did a search of all the buds and found one more rotting bud and cut it off. I suspect that they are still there. I will inspect the plant every two days to hopefully find them and prevent the further demage. WEATHER Days 141-145 This days were sunny with daily temperatures around 26 °C. Night temperature were averaging at 15 °C. Days 146-147 Last two days were harsh. It was cloudy with average temperatures at 14 °C. Day 146 also had very strong winds. Day lenght this week has decreased to 12 hours and 10 minutes.

10/27 - Today is technically day 28 since germination. I would normally wait three more days before doing this update, but enough has changed, I figured it warranted documenting it early. Today I did a solution change to half-strength week 3 guidelines per the Dyna-Gro feed schedule from their website. This gave me a ppm of 740 total, including 170 ppm tap (measured using Hanna Primo .5 conversion). This gives me 570ppm (1.14ec) of nutrients. The solution was changed about four hours prior to their nap time (of four hours in length). Shortly after the lights came back on I noticed this discoloration on her roots (as shown above in picture and video). Both ladies in the video were given the exact same solution at the same time and now show noticeably different ppms (Sour Diesel Auto - 770ppm; Amnesia XXL Auto - 720ppm). I'm not sure why they are exhibiting different reactions to the same solution. She doesn't seem to be showing any other negative effects at this point. Root growth is phenomenal and her vegetation has only accelerated since being topped. Just slightly concerned about what to do with the root issue. I have thought about adding Botanicare Hydroguard since the smaller buckets will run slightly warmer in temp. Once they start drinking more, I will bump them up to 5 gallon buckets, but that's not needed at this time. Any advice, questions, or observations are very welcome. This is my first DWC run and first run with Dyna-Gro. Edit: 10/29 - Added 2ml/gal Botanicare Hydroguard as a precaution regarding her potential root issue. Res temps are mid-seventies, so I'd say it's a safe move and some relatively cheap insurance. Edit: 10/31 - PPMs kept increasing up close to 800 from the original 740. Added pH'd water to dilute right close to 700ppm. Would have diluted more, but that was touching the bottom of the net pot. Removed two main fan leaves that were actively shading new growth nodes. Added second Mars Hydro SP150 and raised both to 18" above canopy.

DAY 57 - 10/11/24 - Everything is looking good. I am noticing the bud sites are growing taller and thicker. I rotated and placed the plants for optimal light. I lowered the light a bit more. The feed is flowing, but very slowly. I wonder if there is a clog? The individual reses are full, the coco is wet. I am unsure what this all means. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 74.0 H 53.3 V 1.34 DAY AVE: T 76.2 H 53.5 V 1.43 DAY 58 - 10/12/24 - Rotated plants, res moving on down. Plants feeding, loving life. Temps a little higher than I would like. I spread and tucked the plants. They are making great progress. There is no more burnt rubber band smell. It has given way to a sweet, kind of citrus, bubblegum, cotton candy scent. All throughout. The bud sites are swelling and blasting out terpenes. Plants are due for another haircut in the next few days. Lots of moisture and stickiness deep within the plants. Top leaves are all healthy dark green, some slight nute burn at the very tips like I want, some slight dry burn spots on the already noted plants, no changes there. I still plan on cutting all the gross leave off. Maybe later today?. The bottom leaves, the newest, light protected growth are all bright light green, like the weird extra little baby arms on the scientist in that one episode of The Venture Bros. Some of the random “bigger” leaves that I left last time are now jutting through the middle of the plant, searching for light. I am trying to tuck more mobile lower branches on top of the thicker and more rigid branches. This will expose the lower sites to more light, and gently bend the bigger stalks until they accommodate the smaller ones. I believe the flowers are finally starting to effect my allergies. Exciting!! And kind of annoying, but maybe this way I will build up a tolerance now that I know it’s coming. I will start additional allergy medicine to mitigate the sneezing. I want the feed to run almost empty before I refill. Res has bout 1.5-2.5 gals remaining. The individual reses are still filling. When the feed is nearly empty, hopefully later tonight, I am going to check the sponge spout for clogs. I might dump the nute feed out and wash out the res. I am considering working the Kelp down to nothing. I need to do some research on solutions for this or if running kelp through a hydro system is just a bad idea altogether. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 72.5 H 60.1 V 1.09 DAY AVE: T 76.1 H 53.5 V 1.43 DAY 59 - 10/13/24 - I dumped the nute feed when there was about a gallon left. I tossed and replaced with 1 gal of pure, PH’d down water. I tried to wash the sides of the res down. I let that run down for a few hours then replaces with 6 gals of regular feed. I am also exploring the Dynamic Wind settings. I want to reduce the stress on my fans. New Feed Mix: 1 Gal: Runclean: 0.4ml Silica: 1ml Kelp: 1ml Cal/Mag: 5ml CropSalt A: 5.1g OR 37ml CropSalt B: 2.6g OR 37ml FEED: 6 gal water, 2.4ml CS RC, 6ml Silica, 6ml Kelp, 30ml CalMag, 210ml CS A/B Bloom. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 71.8 H 56.1 V 1.17 DAY AVE: T 74.7 H 51.6 V 1.42 DAY 60 - 10/14/24 - Spent a lot of time over the past few days defoliating and trimming fan leaves. I hope I left enough. I don’t think the growth has slowed down and I do not notice any signs of stress. I believe the plants are nearly done stretching, now they should swell, and then condense as harvest comes nearer. Less than a month now. I also moved the vornado van out of the front right vent towards the back of the room. Then I closed the vent. Temps are noticeably cooler. The inline and exhaust fans are can work a little lower now. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 72.1 H 54.4 V 1.22 DAY AVE: T 75.7 H 50.1 V 1.51 DAY 61 - 10/15/24 - Plants are drinking heavy again. I meant to mix up more feed last night, but I had to prioritize a gig that popped up. I fed a gallon of water between feeds. Not quite a flush, more of a nutrient stretch. I added 6 gals of proper feed in the early afternoon. I am very happy with how the plants look and smell and stick. I love the Autopots, I love Cropsalt, and Dynomyco, and I especially love Speedrun Seeds. Good companies. Good products. Noticed a small leak, leading to an autopot individual res overflow on Back Right. I think I fixed it, but I need to double check tomorrow AM. The water blowing over the water will help cool the tent at least. The tent smells so good, the flowers are getting so pretty. FEED: 1 gal tap water, no PH FEED: 6 gal water, 2.4ml CS RC, 6ml Kelp, 6ml Silica, 30ml CalMag, 210ml CS A/B Bloom, PH’d TO 5.6. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 70.7 H 55.2 V 1.14 DAY AVE: T 74.3 H 52.6 V 1.37 DAY 62 - 10/16/24 - The leak seems resolved. Feeding normally now. A little moist in the tent from all the water evaporating. But everything is otherwise fine. I rotated and tucked and measured the light (no change recently). The feed lines seem good. The flower is packing and stacking. I wonder if it would be even more so if I got the veg nutes right. I assume the plant would have more plant to utilize in Flower. Maybe it would pack more and higher. I wonder about the difference in density. For my next run I am going to run 4 of the dame plants, but grow them with different methods: no touching, Mainline, LST + Defoliating, and Topping + LST + Defoliating. I may choose slightly different methods, but this is where my curiosity is taking me right now. Ok. There was another slight leak. I believe it is fixed now. I may want to consider taping the lines closed for my next run. Autopots are surely the way to go, but they do have weaknesses that can be mitigated with proper forethought, NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 69.3 H 57.7 V 1.03 DAY AVE: T 74.2 H 52.6 V 1.37 DAY 63 - 10/17/24 - The leak may have not been 100% capped. It should be now. I rotated and tucked the plants. Raised the light 2 clicks. New feed. NO MORE Silica or Kelp. Only CalMag and Bloom Until Cake (last two weeks) where I will drop the CalMag. FEED: 6 gal water, 2.4ml CS RC, 30ml CalMag, 210ml CS A/B Bloom, PH’d TO 5.4.

Plant has been developing nicely over the past 6 weeks. Fimming was not very successful, so I continued with super cropping the plant. She was switched to a 12/12 schedule a week ago and was fed flower nutes for the first time this week. She is definitely stretching, so I installed another scrod at 50 cm to distribute the canopy even further and add some support. She has been receiving ph balanced RO water and is at this stage continuously via drippers. Roots are al over the tank again, which has however proven as an advantage in the past.

After 4 days of heavy rain, the first mold appeared... So I spent about 18 hours searching for plants and picking out mold with tweezers After last year's experience with another seed bank, I expected the plants to be very affected by mold, but I have to say that Fast Buds genetics coped very well! Mold appear mainly on blisters to which the stem of the leaf leads water, which then collects between the stem and the blister I trimmed the plants more so that the air flows better and that water does not stick to them The plants look healthy and the flowers are gaining strength Especially the dark purple phenotypes look very dense and hard. it also looks very resistant to mold Very pleasant sweet fruity scent I haven't seen my children for 3 days, it's raining extremely ... the last time I was chased out by swarms of ants in the early evening, I've never experienced this before, there were maybe a million of them and they sat on me and on the plants I'm finally going to visit them tomorrow, I expect I'll have a lot of work to do with mold and I hope the swarms of ants haven't harmed them in any way

This week I focused only on bending and tucking the branches under the scrog net, trying to fill the entire space as evenly as possible. No other changes were made — just guiding the growth and keeping the canopy level. If everything continues like this, I might flip to flower next week 🌿💪

Buds are getting to heavy, i supported the main stem and a side-stem with two rods. The guy who gave me this plant, had to do the same with the mother-plant. Leaves are very colorfull, purple and redish. Buds look awesome, you can spot trychomes with bare eyes. I did some improvement to the closet/box. Air Ventilation is even more quiet now. An i have a cupboard in the box to store tools and other stuff. I gave nutrition (Hesi Bloom) for the last time and will start flushing within the next days.
