The plants are looking really healthy. I’m still getting used to my new lights. I think I didn’t push enough light in week 2 of flower I’m ramping up the light intensity now. I had to whip out my par meter I was keeping the light to far off the plants. This light has to be closer to the plants than my mini sun. I’m lurking this light a lot I just need to get used to it

Gelatos doing well after small error, going to water them in the evening with a ph of 6.30 🤞. Hope to see them bigger this weekend.🎋

The grow began with great anticipation for these two legendary strains: 420FastBuds Blue Dream and 420FastBuds Moby Dick. Both strains demonstrated strong initial vigor, living up to their reputations. After planting, the seeds of both Blue Dream and Moby Dick sprouted quickly, with healthy roots emerging after just 32 hours. This rapid germination was a promising sign of the robust growth potential these strains are known for. At the 44-hour mark, the seedlings were introduced to their first light. Both Blue Dream and Moby Dick responded well, showing strong early development. The stems appeared sturdy, and the initial leaves were vibrant and healthy. With such a solid start, the grow journey for Blue Dream and Moby Dick is off to an excellent beginning. The fast germination and quick adaptation to light suggest these plants are well on their way to becoming the potent, resilient specimens they are famed for.

Welcome to week 7 / week 4 of flowering! Starting the week with a decent amount of fade. Some pistils have turned orange, but most are still going strong. 💪 Some amber trichomes on the sugar leaves, but still almost all cloudy trichomes on her buds. ✅Day 43: No water. Smelling as strong as ever. Buds are slowly fattening up. ✅Day 44: 128oz of water. No runoff. ✅Day 45: No water. ✅Day 46: 80oz of water. No runoff. ✅Day 47: No water. ✅Day 48: 100oz of water. No runoff. ✅Day 49: No water. Another week closer to harvest. Her buds fattened up nicely this week. Hopefully that continues!

Phenological stage: the plant has entered pre-flowering. Structure / LST: adjusted the Low-Stress Training to keep the canopy open and light spread even. Leaf appearance: leaves are drooping slightly downward with a very light green tone, likely due to slight overwatering and previous pH issues. Feeding: 800 ml nutrient solution 0.4 ml/L Biobizz Grow 0.2 ml/L Biobizz Bloom (to support early pre-flower development) EC/PPM reading: ~430 Runoff observation: no runoff was produced with 800 ml, so next watering I plan to give at least 950 ml, possibly up to 1 liter, to ensure at least ~10% runoff. Environment: Temperature: min 24 °C – max 30 °C (average ~28 °C) Humidity: 60–65 % (planning to gradually reduce to 55–50 % over the coming weeks) Ventilation: installed an automatic oscillating fan to improve air circulation. Notes: despite mild chlorosis and the downward leaf posture, the plant appears stable. Main focus for the next weeks: correct pH, careful watering, and progressive humidity adjustment.

There will be pleasant dreamzzzz around here in the near future, these beauties are covered in crystal and the buds are incredibly dense. They are almost near harvest and they will have a wash when the time comes. These girls have been incredible from day one and I must say, we are WOWED by this strain and the genetics within!

*english version below* Willkommen zurück im HydroLab, wo die Pflanzen offiziell beschlossen haben, dass Photosynthese ihr Vollzeitjob ist – und wo der Wissenschaftler (also ich) mit Kabelbindern, Big Bud und einem neuen Spielzeug bewaffnet durchs Unterholz kriecht. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Statusbericht – Die Damen gehen ins Blühen über Blütewoche 2 ist nahezu abgeschlossen und das Labor bestätigt: Bud Blood hat seinen Dienst getan. Überall zeigen sich kleine Blütencluster, wie winzige Supernovae aus weißen Stempeln. Ich habe zu Beginn der Woche leicht entlaubt – aber die SLH hat das bereits wieder vollständig verschluckt. Wirklich, die wächst schneller zu als ein Reddit-Thread über Hydroponik eskaliert. 🌿 Großer Friseurbesuch angekündigt Für Ende der kommenden Woche steht das an, was ich nur “Operation Kahlschlag” nenne: Extremes Lollipoppen unter dem ersten Netz Entlauben zwischen den beiden Netzen Canopy-Optimierung oben (alles, was kein Licht sieht → weg) Luftzirkulation erhöhen Energie nur noch in Blüten, nicht in Laub Wie ein botanischer Beauty-Salon – nur mit mehr Schere und weniger Smalltalk. ⚙️ Systemparameter – Die Laborwerte EC: stabil bei 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Nährlösung: 19°C konstant (Wasserchiller küsst perfekt) Raumtemperatur: 25°C RLF: 58–60% (glücklicher VPD-Bereich für Stretch-Ende) Dünger: Bud Blood abgeschlossen seit heute Big Bud im Tank Entlaubung: leicht, Hauptschnitt folgt Under-canopy-flow: hervorragend, Struktur steht massiv und offen Alles in allem: Wachstum, Farbe, Stretch und Blütenbildung → absolut on point. Neues Spielzeug im Labor Ja – es ist passiert: Ich habe mir ein Bud-Mikroskop gegönnt. Ab jetzt heißt es: „Keine Trichome entkommen der Analyse.“ Die nächsten Wochen werden also sehr detailliert. 🌸 Optische Beobachtung – Blütenstand Woche 2 Weiße, lange, typische SLH-Stempel Aroma beginnt minimal (Zitronen-Note blitzt auf) Budsites gleichmäßig über das gesamte Netz verteilt Stretch geht langsam Richtung Ende Zweites Netz arbeitet perfekt als Stabilisator 🔍 Labor-Notiz der Woche „Die Pflanzen wachsen wie von einem Koffeinrausch getrieben. Die Blüten zeigen sich zuverlässig, die Vitalität ist hervorragend, und mein Wasserchiller hat vermutlich weniger Stress als ich.“ 🔮 Was kommt in Woche 3? Der große Defoliation-Run EC stabil weiterfahren Big Bud hochskalieren Lichtintensität leicht erhöhen Unterseite sauber halten Videos & Mikroskop-Shots für die Community Beginn des massiven Bud-Formings Die Bühne ist bereitet – jetzt wird es spannend. ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome back to the HydroLab, where plants have officially accepted photosynthesis as their full-time occupation — and where the scientist (me) crawls around with zip ties, Big Bud, and a brand-new toy. 🌿⚗️ 🔬 Status Report – The Ladies Are Entering Bloom for Real Flower Week 2 is almost done, and the lab confirms: Bud Blood has done its job beautifully. Tiny white explosions of pistils are popping up everywhere. I did a light defoliation earlier this week — but the SLH swallowed that effort instantly. Seriously, this strain grows back faster than a comment section on a hydroponics forum. 🌿 A Major Haircut Incoming By the end of next week, we begin what I call “Operation Full Cleanup”: Extreme lollipopping under the first net Heavy cleanup between the two nets Canopy thinning on top (anything that doesn’t get light → gone) Improve airflow Redirect all energy into bud production Think of it as a botanical beauty salon — just with more scissors and less small talk. ⚙️ System Parameters – Lab Values EC: steady at 1.5 pH: 5.8–6.0 Solution temperature: 19°C (chiller doing god’s work) Room temp: 25°C Humidity: 58–60% (great VPD for end-of-stretch) Nutrients: Bud Blood finished Big Bud started today Defoliation: light — main session coming up Under-canopy structure: wide open, strong, and well-ventilated Overall: Growth, color, stretch, and bud formation → absolutely on point. New Gadget in the Lab Yes… it happened: I bought myself a bud microscope. From now on: No trichome shall escape analysis. Expect extremely detailed updates in the coming weeks. 🌸 Visual Observation – Flower Formation Week 2 Long white SLH pistils everywhere First hints of lemon aroma Budsites evenly spread across the entire net Stretch slowing down Second net working perfectly as a support frame 🔍 Lab Note of the Week “The plants are growing like they’ve had three espressos. Buds are forming nicely, vigor is excellent, and my water chiller is probably under less stress than I am.” 🔮 Coming Up in Week 3 The big defoliation session Continue running EC 1.5 Scale up Big Bud Slightly increase light intensity Keep the lower zone clean Microscope shots + canopy videos Bud formation ramping up The stage is set — things are about to get exciting.

Harvest in week 12. But I screwed up, I didn't have enough room to separate each variety, so I would put an average weight when everything was dry... I had done everything well, I had to mistake on the place of the drying bag Last pictures, mixed buds

What makes an outdoor grow successful? Is it dodging a hurricane and pulling pounds? Is it avoiding the sticky fingwrs of AstroThieves? Is it looking wpm and botrysis in the eye and telling em they stand no chance? Is it defeating all cockshit fucker parasites? Is it finding solitude and happiness in making something work? Something thats yours and only yours? Is it distraction from reality? Is it trolling the GD platform as the current presidenr and not growing at all? Dunno. See my solo

Slightly Light amber, but I'm cutting her. She really looks ripe. Also an infestation of sap eaters, so the plant is at it's end. I'm happy with the result 😁

Pruned and started ferts this week. 0 sign of insects, we are good, for now....

Grape Ape Cake ! Lineage; Hotcakes (Katsu Bubba Kush X Burnt Toast (from Raw Genetics) X Grape Ape An Exciting New Collab from Katsu Bluebird ! Week 11, & the End of 4 weeks of flowering (30 Days of 12/12) Welcome back to our regular scheduled programming.... Like I mentioned we are officially 30 days into our 12/12 lighting cycle. Now taking into consideration that this is one of the first runs of this particular strain the flower period is partially undetermined, I will be guessing based on Lineage of the parents, & following her closely towards the end to ensure my desired trichome ripeness. Katsu's HotCake's run's Approximately 8-9 Weeks & The Grape Ape run's slightly quicker at 7-8 Weeks You can certainly tell the difference between all 5 plants, I'm very glad I took cuts of everything ! as plants 2 & 3 are certainly the keepers of the bunch.. plant 2 showing some very cool fall colours already (emerson effect hitting strong asf) She is already starting to purple up & smells Very Sweet. My guess is this pheno leans more to the Grape Ape side. As far as plant 3 is concerned I can smell heavy Kush aromas emulating off her already, & based on her flowering structure I believe this pheno leans more Katsu Bubba. but we'll have to wait and see. A Minor amount of leaf plucking this week should be noted.. It will probably be the last time I mess with them, its time to start swelling up. It is my opinion that most of the stretch has been completed & i'm now looking at the final colas minus the couple weeks of filling out of course. As this is the end of four weeks of flower(12/12) Their food will be increased during the next feeding, thus far i've been impressed with the ease of this strain.. I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest but I will say this I was weary of over-feeding but all of them seem to enjoy heavy feedings. Thanks for Reading 🙌 If you have a question or a comment leave it down below otherwise, I Hope You Check in Next Week, Stay Safe out there & Happy Gardening Cariboo

She got defoliated this week…I’m in love with her branching structure. My first time growing with extra hours of light to extend veg is working.

This lady is a beast, such a big bush full of flowers, very sweet aroma, I can't find the cherry notes yet but it's very very sweet, I love this strain, all of them have the same smell, and this pheno is just amazing, very strong and for what I can see very productive too 😍🌱❄️🍪

In veg, it responded well as I learned about how to best train it. In flower, the smell was insane... after the first smell my eyes rolled back. Sweet floral orange citrus with a hint of chemical cleaner smell that comes together to smell like a tropical sunscreen. When I was trimming the tester, my friend was walking by and stopped in his tracks, "whoa which one is that!?" - this one is loud! The smell is super strong even after drying, and really translates into the smoke. This was the star of the show, and made the best smoke. 10/10 would grow again. One small issue was that this plant was by far the most susceptible to powdery mildew. It started on this plant, and any time it popped up in the tent, this plant had some. I had to stay on the Dr Zymes and trimming any affected leaves, but it was worth it. Overall I ended up with just under 40g, but I smoked a bunch while trimming and took a sample cut, so really it was 7-10g more... this one was chopped on day 64. The buds were fat and firm and the trichomes looked ready, with a good mix - probably 5% clear 85% cloudy 10% amber. I trimmed this plant 2nd and was getting better at it, ended up with some really nice looking nugs... so of course I took a ton of pics!

FBT2308 is growing great under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. She is heavy bulking now. Looks like she will get some great colas on her. She had a solution change today, and new air stone installed. I changed the solution as I had a big spike in ph. Which caused a little spotting. So had to fix that with new nutrition. Nothing else to report at this time.
