The final Week, before harvest! She has some massive towering buds! 2.5 gallons of water is lasting this plant 5-6 days before drying out, and ready for more.. She was harvested instead of being watered!

Starting to really stack up not going to be a giant harvest but those buds are dense af

All I can say is WOW just WOW, One plant is hitting the light and I can't go any higher. It is 53 inches tall. All but 1 is flowering really nicely. The 1 is taking its sweet time. They seem very happy and healthy. I have to defoliate every other day or so.

Really suffered in the summer with heat waves. Temps in the tent when the lights were on was going as high as 93⁰f (33.88⁰c). The buds have foxtailed as a result and I beleive I had pheno #1 hermy in its final days. 0 seeds found in both phenos so I got lucky. It flew through the veg stage, growing faster than the runtz muffin it was sharing the tent with. Flower period felt fast too, it was looking stacked already in week 5.

Leider funktionierte bei beginn etwas im Diary nicht, haben daher die Keimung 1/1 in der ersten Veg. abgebildet. Rainbow Melon von Fast Buds ​Die Mission Rainbow Melon – Eine Reise durch den genetischen Dschungel ​Willkommen, werte Chronisten, zu unserem nächsten botanischen Experiment. Unser heutiges Studienobjekt ist die Rainbow Melon, eine photoperiodische Sorte von Fast Buds, die das Versprechen auf maximale Erträge und ein geschmackliches Feuerwerk in sich trägt. Ihr Name ruft Bilder von kunterbunten Früchten hervor und ihr Stammbaum ist ein Produkt hochspezialisierter, moderner Züchtung. Doch hinter dem glänzenden Marketing verbirgt sich eine Pflanze, die nur demjenigen ihr volles Potenzial offenbart, der bereit ist, ihre Tücken zu meistern. ​1. Genetik & Stammbaum: Ein modernes Meisterwerk ​Die Rainbow Melon ist eine Kreuzung zwischen einer proprietären, als „Keeper Cut“ bezeichneten Melon-Sorte von Fast Buds und der berühmten Rainbow Chip von Exotic Genetix. Der Begriff „Keeper Cut“ ist hier kein Marketing-Gag, sondern beschreibt einen Phänotyp, der sorgfältig aufgrund seiner herausragenden Merkmale ausgewählt wurde. Das Ergebnis ist ein ausgewogener Hybrid, der die besten Eigenschaften seiner Eltern vereint: ein modernes, fruchtiges Terpenprofil und eine extrem hohe Potenz. ​2. Wuchs, Größe & der Wunsch nach XXL-Ertrag ​Die Rainbow Melon wird als „XL-Kultivar“ beschrieben, die nicht nur beeindruckende Höhen von 140 bis 180 cm erreicht, sondern auch XXL-Erträge von bis zu 600 g/m² im Innenbereich verspricht. Die Blütezeit liegt bei nur 8 bis 9 Wochen. Für den ambitionierten Züchter bedeutet das, dass eine akribische Planung des Anbauraums unerlässlich ist. Es wird empfohlen, Low-Stress-Training (LST) zur Ertragsmaximierung anzuwenden, während von High-Stress-Training (HST) abgeraten wird. Die schnellen Wachstumsraten sind ein Versprechen, doch der kluge Grower weiß, dass die Realität oft ein paar Tage mehr erfordert, um das volle THC-Potenzial zu entfalten. ​3. Aroma & Terpene: Wenn Pixy Stix auf Melone treffen ​Das Aroma und der Geschmack der Rainbow Melon sind ein Beweis für die Präzision moderner Züchtung. Die Sorte entwickelt ein "loutes, ausgeprägtes Terpenprofil", das von der Rainbow Chip geerbt wurde und durch die süßen, zitrusartigen Noten der Melone ergänzt wird. Der Geschmack wird als süß und zuckrig beschrieben, der einen Nachgeschmack von „Pixy Stix oder Tang“ aus der Kindheit hinterlässt. Die dominante süße Melone, begleitet von Noten von Fruchtgelee, zeigt, wie Terpene eine geschmackliche Geschichte erzählen können. ​4. Wirkung & Anwendung: Von Euphorie zur tiefen Entspannung ​Die Wirkung der Rainbow Melon wird als „perfekt ausgewogener“ Hybrid beschrieben. Sie beginnt mit einem euphorisierenden und erhebenden Rausch, der sich sanft in einen Zustand tiefer Entspannung wandelt. Dieser dynamische Effekt macht sie zu einer vielseitigen Sorte. Die hohe Potenz der Rainbow Melon ist ebenfalls bemerkenswert, mit einem THC-Gehalt, der bis zu 30 % erreichen kann. Eine solche Potenz ist kein Spielplatz für Anfänger. ​5. Spezielle Merkmale: Ein Harz-Wunder mit Tücken ​Die Rainbow Melon ist ein wahres Harz-Wunder, eine "wahre Harzfabrik", die dichte, traubenförmige Buds produziert, die mit Trichomen überzogen sind. Diese Eigenschaft macht sie zu einer ausgezeichneten Wahl für Extraktionen, wie zum Beispiel Haschisch oder Konzentrate. Doch die hohe Dichte der Buds, die für Erträge so begehrenswert ist, macht die Pflanze auch anfällig für Schimmel und Mehltau, insbesondere unter feuchten Bedingungen. Wer diese Sorte im Indoor-Anbau kultiviert, muss die Belüftung und Luftfeuchtigkeit akribisch überwachen. Woche 1: Die Keimungwoche * Tag 0.1: Nach dem 10 Stündigen Einweichen in 1 % H₂O₂ wurde der Samen ins Substrat gepflanzt,[Easy Plug]. Das Mini-Gewächshaus musste wegen einer Defekten Heizmatte im wohltemperierten (24°C) Aquarium schwimmen. Hat super funktioniert! 😃 * Tag 0.2: Die Geduldsphase beginnt. Wir warten darauf, dass der Samen seine Schale aufbricht. * Tag 0.3: Die ersten Anzeichen des Lebens sind sichtbar. Das Keimblattpaar bricht durch das Substrat, nachdem wir eine erste Wölbung der Substratoberfläche beobachtet hatten. *Tag 0.4: Wir haben das DLI von ca. 12 auf 16 erhöht, um dem Keimling genügend Licht zu geben. * Tag 0.5: Die Abdeckung wurde geöffnet, um die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit auf ca. 80 % zu senken. * Tag 0.6: Alles unter Kontrolle. Die Pflanze zeigt vitales Wachstum. Die ersten "echten Blätter entfalten sich. Das DLI wird auf 20 erhöht. * Tag 0.7: Die Abdeckung wurde entfernt. Die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit sinkt nun auf 60–65 %, was die Pflanze zum Aufbau eines starken Wurzelsystems anregen soll. * Düngung & Messwerte: Kein Dünger oder Wasser notwendig.

week four flower everything looks fine so far :D I water them with 1.5l every 48h the light I use was set to 100% and it hangs 80cm away from the tops

Hope you all enjoy the video, but don't share ok it has an uncleared Beatles Song that The good Dr. loves ;-) Peace

💩Holy Crap We Are Back At It And Loving It💩 Growmies we are at DAY 21 and she's just killing💀it👌 So Shit , I gave them just a tad to much nutes 👈 But I have since fixed it So I'm starting to pull her over and do some low stress training 🙃 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍rain water to be used entire growth👈 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

Plucked a few leaves that were looking at me funny ;) Not much to do! Very strong lemony smell!! Watered with 2.5 gallons of the above listed nutrients, every 5-6 days. (when the soil becomes 95% dry) 10% of the solution watered runs out the bottom of the pot, and is removed with a wet-vacuum.

All the ladies bounced back from the little stress at the transition. They are all charging. On 9.11 I’ve increased the light from 600 to 660w. We will see tomorrow how they handle it.

Removed all the new side shoots and the first set of fanleaves. Did this because I want the plant to focus all of its energy on the main stem. I dont need any new side shoots. I thought that this weekend I would flip them in to flower. But I'm going to wait some more. I want to see more height in the plants and I think that after this defoliation that hight will come quick😁🚀 PATIENCE IS KEY! On day 75 I changed the light colour from blue to red to see if this can promote some stretch before changing the lightcycle to flowering. ‼️I did not change the hours of light‼️ On day 76 it seems like there has definitely been some kind of reaction from the plants overnight. They seem to have stretched a little bit. I'll keep a close eye on em these coming days.

D-70 : Chaco Haze. They just look amazing, even 1/4 is very small (about 40cm). At this stage she should be 60 or 70 cm high... Anyway, the flowers are doing great. I really hope the will continue to grow. I dream of a grow room full of flowers between 1 and 1.4 m high ! Still 8-9 weeks to go, so they have time :)

Esta semana fue bastante positiva en el desarrollo de la planta,los riegos con un ph más bajo y la ec en valores óptimos, lograron mejorar un poco el color de las hojas.Tambien a los nutrientes que veníamos regando se le sumo el big bud, veremos que es lo que pasa en el transcurso de la siguiente semana. Creo que en términos generales la planta va creciendo saludable. 🤞🤞😅

7/29 - Week 9 of veg is starting. At this point, it is just let them grow up a few inches, and also fill out the pots some more with roots before transplanting to 5 gallon fabric pots (their final homes). I also plan on mixing a 'flower blend' soil to fill up the 5g pot around the rootball that is transplanted. This recipe for the soil is taken from MaximumYield: Enhanced fruit/flower potting soil recipe This soil recipe is designed for plants that are ready to fruit or flower. In particular, this recipe works great for ornamentals that are already in bloom and for fast-growing annuals that are entering their fruiting or flowering stage. Parenthesis indicate small changes or products I'm using. 1/2 cu. ft. (60 cups) sphagnum peat moss (Promix BX) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) coco coir (Mother Earth Coco Peat) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) compost (either compost or manure) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) perlite 10 cups pumice (likely to just use perlite here) 5 cups worm castings 3 cups bat guano (high phosphorus) 1 cup fish bone meal (using regular bone meal, got Jobe's Bone Meal) 1 cup oyster shell 1/2 cup seabird guano (likely to just add as the high phosporous guano) 1/4 cup alfalfa meal 1/4 cup fish meal (Down to Earth Fish Meal) 2 tbsp. langbeinite (Down to Earth Langeinite) 1 tbsp. glacier rock dust (Azomite ordered from Amazon) 7/30 - While technically the morning of 7/31, lights haven't gone out yet, so it is still the 30th ;) It almost hurts posting pictures today, because they were really thirsty, but I honestly hadn't looked at them for a couple days. Anywho, the plants were watered with ~1.25 liters of water each, about 90 minutes before lights out. Will be interesting to post the 7/31 photos after a couple hours of lights on, and see the difference in appearance. I also mixed the soil for flowering, and it will now have a couple weeks to 'cook' and become ready for the plants. I did make a mistake and accidentally added 1 cup of fish meal instead of 1/4 cup (oops), and the alfalfa meal just smelled too good, so I added 1/2 cup instead of 1/4. Hopefully those 2 'changes' don't add too much nitrogen for flower, but I imagine it won't. I also instead of adding perlite (didn't want to buy a 4 cu ft bag when I needed at most 2.5 gallons (1/3 cu ft), so I opted to add 1 gallon of pumice. Since the coco peat and promix both have perlite in them, I didn't want too much added. There were also some worms from the compost that made it into the tote that is now storing the mix, so life has already started in the soil. 7/31 - It wasn't just after lights on, as I didn't have time to photo earlier, but this is just about 24 hours after watering, and praying/looking good. I had noticed that it looked like the fan had slipped down the pole a bit, and was causing some wind burn/clawing of the leaves yesterday, which probably attributed to poor looks, but looking better today! While I am not that versed in checking preflowers, from what I can tell, if I had to guess, CH#1 could be either (maybe slightly leaning towards female, thought I might have saw a couple hairs), and the #2 actually looked male to me. 8/4 - After getting home from work, and realizing I hadn't checked on the plants in a couple days and I knew they were due for water either yesterday or today, I saw some THIRSTY plants. They each got ~1.2L of water, and also a quick trim back. After checking preflowers again, I am afraid that both Chinook plants may end up male :(

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.

Some issues with soil being too wet. But we have hit preflower on Christmas.

What up Growmies, this one grew hella fast maturing in 9 weeks from seed to harvest fast. Buds is true to their name. This one has some serious resin on the flowers reminding me of some sort of a gelato Gorilla glue cross, but we shall see when it's released! I could be far off lol. I had no problems growing her. She was really easy and happy her whole life. She's a great one for extractions! Thank you grow diaries and thank you fastbuds for the opportunity to show the world my organic gardening skills! I appreciate all the support from the growing community here on grow diaries. Big thanks for my followers!

Hoping that this week will not be a tennis match with my PH and my nutrient solution. Last week I saw my solution drop a full point in a matter of hours - consistently. I also ditched the PH up/down dosers crutch two grows ago, and I am not missing it as the intel is far better without them. IMO PH dosers do not give you real-time feeding feel from your plant - yet they adjust your PH to the "Perfect" level. Less is more in this craft, and in more ways than not. There is a balance between technology, automation, efficiency and most importantly - humans. If we removed the human element out of a grow, the product will be inferior, right? - trichome check showed mostly cloudy, with a few random amber if one looks hard enough. She’s ripening nice and reservoir running fairly normal for late flower. Wonder if that zero water filters-gone-bad caused my major PH crashes. Fed her KookBloom dry only this week and now in a 2 day flush. Should be about 10% amber.
