Sunday, May 29, 2022 Plant #3 is stretching away by a foot over Plant #2. Both Plants looking well but displaying different leaf behaviour (particularly of the upper growth). When well watered, in full sun, Plant # 2 has perky, praying leaves that go down somewhat at night. In the same conditions, Plant #3 has droopy leaves that get even more tucked in at night. It was only from feeling the strong turgidity of the Plant #3 leaves when under good water and comparing them to Plant #2 that I accepted that it was ok and that's just how it wears its' clothes. The red and white pistils are filling out from top to bottom on all stems on Plant #2. Even though it's not as tall as its' neighbour, the six main stems on plant #2 seem proportional to, hopefully, support nice thick colas. Plant #3 is furring out much slower and though I am happy for the height, I am concerned the stems aren't thick enough to support much weight.

I can't see the very back pheno of the blue Gelato 41,but I'm not impressed so far. There is a lot of bulking to do, compared to other strains in the tent. These are set to finish Dec 26th. Hopefully they start stacking asap

Day 31 - 38 (Day 32) I’m going to lower the humidity in the room to 55-60. Still no bananas but I’m still quite worried about #3 fully popping and ruining my whole crop. Since there is a good chance it’s going to herm, I’m going to give it with a small feeding today and watch it like a hawk this week. I think the boost actually made a decent difference in #5 from last week. I’m seeing slightly fatter main colas but that could just be from less topping/smaller plant or less nitrogen. I’ve decided to push my luck and give a boost to each plant. These things just aren’t filling out like they should. They look like they are on day 23 not 33. I’m going to top dress 3 tablespoons of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and later tonight I’m going to water in a low strength feeding of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m going to give a final heaping tablespoon of nature’s pride bloom to #5 so it can stretch to the end. I’m also going to lower the lights by a few inches. The tallest cola is now about 13 inches away and the rest of the canopy is at about 18–24. If I see signs of light stress I’ll raise it back up but I’m sure it could use the extra light on the lowers. (Day 33) I’ve been reading that bigger plants just take longer to mature and that’s probably why my plant hasn’t fully filled out or is about a week behind. I still could have done a better job defoliating some of the smaller larf branches on the bottom which just robs the good branches of energy. The more I think about it, the more I think I did a very poor job of defoliating the middle canopy. I’m still seeing lots of larf and small buds on the inside not getting much light. I’m still really worried about herms after finding that branch so I don’t want to stress them anymore. Removing suckers now is pointless. I missed my window of opportunity and now I have to deal with it. I’m going to slide an old DVD player underneath #6 to bring it up to canopy level. It’s lower buds are definitely not getting enough light. (Day 34) Ever since lowering the light, the canopy has gotten a few degrees warmer. I’ve noticed the buds don’t feel as sticky on top compared to the lower tucked branches that feel almost wet with resin. Outdoor weed grown in my climate will never reach the temperature where it degrades resin luckily. (Day 36) The buds are definitely swelling but not to the degree I want. Call me picky but I prefer my nugs as chunky as possible. I’m seeing lots of pistils but not much nug matter. Ive heard too many pistils can be caused by the overuse of alfalfa, kelp and seaweed extracts because of the natural PGR’s in them. I’m definitely going to reduce the amount of that stuff I use next round. I hope I’m just wrong and this tent is going to really fatten up this week but I have my doubts. (Day 37) A purple fade is starting on the underside of every plant except the bush who still is super dark green still. Last watering I got a nice amount of runoff so I’m just going to leave her until the end. I’m seeing a bit of yellowing on #5. I’m going to give it one final full strength feeding plus some rock dust and oyster shell tomorrow and that’s a wrap for nutrients. I might as well hit everything else with a final low strength 0-0-15 too. (Day 38) I’m amazed at how much this stuff smells compared to my last round. It smells very earthy and floral with a hint of pine. Definitely not that gassy smelling pine but more of a sweet pine.

Hey guys so another few weeks have passed this girl is coming along nicely now . Little bushy at moment expect stretch in next few weeks .

At a total of 79 days this Sangria is a beautiful one! A cross between The GOGO and Ogreberry she is super delightful, Dense resiny heavy covers trichome buds , with the smell of Gassy rotten fruit funk on the nose! She a stanky one ! Other then that she was a pretty easy grow , y’all don’t sleep on it an better get your hands on it , at @Twenty20Mendocino they got you covered

Etwas K-booster dazu seit Woche 8 Ansonsten Seitenlampen angemacht

Just harvested last night so will come back on in next couple of week to review!! No estimates on yield as yet. But the smell is definitely pungent lemon and sweet smell. Can’t wait to try the end product!!

10/16: She is basically already done. I changed out the nutrients for water and Flawless Finish today. She is now flushing. I have been so surprised by this plant. She entered flower and finished quicker than i expected. I will be harvesting her this time next week. I am not blown away by the smell. i expected it to be more fruiting and sweet, but it just smells mostly earthy at this point.

6.4.25: FastBuds Mystery Seed #1: She has been topped twice and is looking pretty strong 💪 She has grown vertically, and leaves are always praying. Possibly too much light, so I have turned the dimmer down to about 90%. There are slight bleached tips on a couple of top leaves. I'm hoping to do the same LST with garden wire here very soon. Overall, the plant has nice big, fat leaves. Seemingly lush colour and vigorously growing since the double toppings. Very nice plant so far. 👌 13.4.25: This week has been so busy in the garden! I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! 😅 14.4.25: I have been super busy with all the other harvests in the past several days, so this is a little late. FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has been topped twice and the growth has been thick and lush. I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I watered about 2 litres to each plant. I have been using wire, clips, and Bio stretch fabric plant ties to LST the plant. The plant has reached the 8 Gallon pot perimeter. The plant is in the first week of flower. I'm hoping to keep the canopy even with my RQS Northern Lights grow as I need to be able to compare the plants accurately for the experiments. I did snap off a branch, again the day after I said I'd be very careful 😖 The plant is very resilient though, and you wouldn't know anything happened at all, minus one of the first tops is missing. Thankfully I topped twice, so I still have 5 tops. Training Techniques used this week are LST and defoliation. I watered on 13th and 14th with the following solution; 4 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained: ♡ 8 ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 1/2 Teaspoon Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients. PPM: 1000. 2 litres were given on two consecutive days. I watered in a top dress, which I will add what I used here, but it was another mess up, I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear 😅 Top dress: 4 gallons containing approximately: 50% Canna Terra Mix soil 25% Worm Castings 23% Perlite 2% Organic Dry Amendments, which were; ☆ Ecothrive Life Cycle ☆ Ecothrive Charge ☆ Diatomaceous Earth ☆ Ground Cinnamon ☆ RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules I used the top dress amount for established plants for a pot size of 30L / 8 Gallons. I'm not keen on the soil. I was supposed to get Canna Coco but I got sent Canna Terra in error. It was overdue for a top dress and I had nothing else to use. I don't like it in comparison. Coco is best for my needs. It's much fluffier, lighter, and easier to work with. Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂

Inizio conta dei giorni.. questo è il secondo giorno...provo questa nuova apricot. Ma sono quasi sicuro che sarà più che buona 🙏💪forza fast buds

1/15 Begin week 3 I swear they look a full week older than 15 days... interesting. Obviously they like the protocol. 😉 Loving the CocoTek Not topping till I get them transplanted in a few days. Plan is to top twice, we going to see what we can get from these newbies 😇 Leaving feed as is until transplant into 5 gal of 75% coco 25% perlite *Fastbuds - They are taking nuets very well and I would increase but size is getting to be an issue at this point. Both the FFT-7 and 5 could take higher ppm. We plan on doing a clone grow with one of each strain to grow entirely for size and yield without size restrictions. See what they do when given lots of space. Zhaan is looking to be a bit different pheno but not stress induced. 1/17 Transplant day Finished preparing coco by thoroughly washing the pots in the bath tub till runoff clear-ish, 50ppm Soaked pots with one quart of 5.9 nuets and Kangaroots 10ml/gal and transplanted the garden bags, god the roots are incredible. In the Veg tent now Wife named the veg tent Moya and its stuck so now the danged tent has a name 😉 1/20 ITS WEASEL STOMPING DA... errp no... Topping day All topped at either forth or fifth node, pics up there 1/21 Noticing some mag def and random Ca spots on Jool in particular so getting a dose of Cal-Mag 3ml/gal as well as the foliar. See this as due to the low levels of CocoTek or perhaps the stress of topping but do not want to increase nuets at this time.

This is the last week 💀 There are less pictures than usual but nothing special happened except the yellowing of the plants due to the nutrients cut. Wait for the "Harvest" week for the final photo shoot 😎

Good evening my fellow growers! So, another Thursday night comes, meaning another week starts in this diary😎 As a balance from last week, I'd like to underline the beginning of LST and defoliation applied in the plant, so far with success. Had a little struggle with RH and temps, by getting the lights a little too close from the plants. Lesson learnt and problem solved! Day 29 4/6 - #1 - Love to push her around! Not sure who's enjoying it more, if me or the plant. Looks happy with all the twists, and I believe this will be the last week of veg. 10 day tops I'd say. She's a heavy drinker for the size, and loves some good misting before turning the lights on. Moving the light even upper, brought me lower temps and higher RH: Temps from 24c to 20c, and RH from 40% to 50%. Much better. Here's also a video from the grow, how everything looks today during lights off period. Enjoy! Day 30 5/6 - #1 today was just another day of growth. Actually apart from observing it during the day, haven't done really anything to it. Looks like has enough water still, looks like the branches are coming out nice and evenly, covering for now the surface of the pot. Today also started to feel her stink. Finally! This only indicates me she's getting ready to flower very, very soon. In the tent, today was the best 'weather' ever, I'm super happy with that 😅 Temps were between 18 off and 25 on, RH between 73% off and 40% on. Day 31 6/6 - #1 today's her first month, since dropped in the water. Wohoo! 😎 Had another look to her, make sure all branches are looking good, with proper exposure and re-tied it again here and there to adjust her and make her even on top. Removed a few more leaves on the way and it's looking great! Had a big time watering (with nutrients), a little over a liter and was also mist in all foliage before lights going on. Temps were very good again! Rh with 79% max and 52% min and temps from 25 to 17. Nice uh? 😎 Day 32 7/6 - #1 So, after the 1st month anniversary celebrations (ahah), today was training and defoliation day. Between today and tomorrow will do quite a defoliation as she's giving signs of starting flowering stage very soon. When it comes to the plant, I rearranged her first a bit to optimize the light exposure in all budsites, then leaves down. For the first time in this plant, I fed her plain tap water, with a 6.4 ph. Tried to simulate a rainy day as much as possible by misting her and the medium. I like to give her a flush in between stages, when changing to flowering nutrients. Temps as stable inside with 16 min and 26 max. RH from 52% to 76% Day 33 8/6 - #1 What a nice reaction she had from last night training and defoliation! She went upwards and looks so much better. You can tell she's stretching now and showing some little pistils. After having a look around, just took the rest of the leaves I'd planned to and she's finally ready to flower. Even her scent is getting stronger, a very nice tropical/mango/passion fruit kick when the tent is opened. What a delight!😎 Today I'll give her a light feed again, to get this lady back on track and will wait for another day to come. It's very nice to observe the strecthing phase, as you can see them growing almost by the hour eheh Temps today were 29 max, 21 min and RH from 71% to 39% (values are higher today as I let the humidifier empty for a couple hours) Day 34 9/6 - #1 She's full on stretching, in 48h grew more than 10cm, which I find incredible. I did a few more touches on the branches, now is the time to make them ready and give all the light they need in every bit of them. Today she didn't smell so much, like yesterday, but I'm sure she's focusing on growing delicious bud right now. Can't wait to have a taste of it 😄 No watering today, going to save that for the morning. I'll just give her a light mist to keep things fresh and humid in the grow. Tomorrow is the last day of this week, and I'm planning to start with flowering schedule and nutrients from tomorrow. Temps and RH recorded today: 26c - 18c 76% - 41% Day 35 10/6 - General: This lady continues growing at a very nice rhythm. She's opening all her arms to light and I foresee a good flowering stage. Techniques: After observing her under the lights, decided to remove some more leaves to maximise exposure. All light is needed right now. Feeding: Good watering, almost 1.5l with balanced ph water, and started introducing flowering nutrients, at a very small scale, and went up 0.5ml on the grow nutrients. let's see what happens, but as I write, lights went up again for 4 hours and they look great, showing no signs of stress on anything like it. Smell: Still getting there, it's more intense inside the tent under the lights, a light breeze comes from her, but nothing compared to the power of her younger sister #3 from the other grow diary I'm writing. Temps and RH recorded today: 28c - 18c 60% - 37% And that's it! This week is done, tomorrow we start a new one, which I'll consider the first of the flowering period. This was a very exciting week where the results of the LST started to show a little more and better, did a heavy defoliation during the week, and saw her growing a lot. I'm impressed with that and curious to see the next coming days and weeks until she stops growing to produce more of the fat buds we love. That's all, see you tomorrow!

Okay. So she stopped packing on weight right after her first real weight gain. Bad salt build up within the soil, ph off from 6.2 to 7.2 run off. Going to add recharge or some compost tea on next grow to help with that. Also, I think I could have gotten away with giving less nutrients. She smells amazing. Smells like trash from a far but as soon as you touch her, her aroma opens up to the fruitiest scent I have ever smelled! Another odd thing which might have to do with genetics. Many of the buds are hanging off to the right side of the stem. Like they have grown to one side of the stem and look like they are about to fall off. Mayne this had something to do with her not getting much bigger than she has? See last few photos and video. About a week or two left. Last feed a few days ago. Water from here on out.

Day 22 (2020-05-31): Did some additional LST and defoliation. For LST I used wire hooks pushed into the soil to encourage sideways growth of the new branches. The G14 looks a lot bushier but it did not have as many large leaves that needs to be removed. Also, due to it's mutant nature, it started with two main branches. Maybe I should have pinched one back, but it seems very healthy so far. Roots are poking out the bottom of both pots. Not sure if this is bad or not. It did not happen in my previous grow but was using 3 gal instead of 2 gal fabric pots. Day 23 (2020-06-01): Investigated the mesh cup filter I am using with the Blumats. Turns out I had it backwards and it had some slimy feeling film inside. Not sure if that is contributing to the PH rise when water sits in the tubing, but I cleaned it out and swapped it the right way. Made some small LST adjustments. Day 24 (2020-06-02): Removed a couple of blocking leaves, made some slight LST tweaks to even things out. One of the Blumats seemed like it was not dripping but bleeding the line caused it to kick in. Must have still had some residual air in the system from yesterday's filter adjustment. PH is still a bit higher coming out of the line, but is much improved. Will continue to monitor. If it stays high may try removing the filter altogether to eliminate that possibility. Day 25 (2020-06-03): Changed the reservoir out. PH was high, but still in range but the water was cloudy and had a pretty rotten smell. Going to check PH and smell daily and see if I can get a handle on what is happening. Maybe I just need to have a regular changing schedule. Day 26 (2020-06-04): PH of reservoir at 5.6. Day 27 (2020-06-05): PH of reservoir at 5.7. DId some LST adjustments and removed a few larger leaves. Noticed some light discoloration spots on a couple of the older leaves. Moved lights a bit closer (21") Day 28 (2020-06-06): Noticed some yellowing on the tips of some of the new growth. I checked the lights and they had been way closer than I thought. Moved to correct distance to see if it may have been early signs of light burn. PH of reservoir is at 6.2. Most likely will change out tomorrow. I also noticed today a bit of white fuzz mold growing on the outside of the pots and even a little bit on the surface of the coco. I am going to turn off the humidifier for a few days and get some 3% H2O2 to wipe down the outside of the pots.

Well it might not be the prettiest plant but the buds are getting really frosty so I'm excited to see how she turns out! Edit: added a new video because I was missing my girl in the night. She's a frosty lady and smells great! Lol
