Greetings one and all, welcome back to my garden. Late update as I’ve been busy. Cruise control on all ladies, at this point I’m just being patient, following the feeding calculator to the letter. Shogun Nutrients have proven to be a great range, absolutely no issues whatsoever since day one. A few weeks to go before flush and hopefully we’ll see a real explosion in flower output. Right now the aroma in closet is a mixture of citrus and candy. Impressive genetics by FastBuds.

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grows First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this CBD Fast Eddy plant from Royal queen seeds will turn out. CBD Fast Eddy Automatic is combining Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis, Fast Eddy is a rapid growing, flavourful, and CBD-rich auto strain that goes from seed to harvest in 8-9 weeks, produce generous yields, and induce a clear, mellow, and most importantly, functional high. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 400 - 450 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 80 - 130 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 80 - 120 cm Flowering: 6 - 7 weeks Harvest month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis Type: Sa 50% In 40% Ru 10% Effect: Clear, Painrelief Climate: Mild ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-18. Week 4 starts and she is in flower. She is 36 cm high and looking really healthy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-19. 2 new fans is installed in the grow room. Added pic and video. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-20. Kl 10.00. New video. The girl is 38 cm high and doing great. Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-22. The girl have recovered well after my massive defoliation. She is 39 cm high now and have received 2 liters of water and nutrition today.

9/5: I hope to successfully germinate all 15 of the Fastbuds seeds that I bought along with the 2 freebie Blackberry beans I was given by the nice folks at Hipersemillas.com. I'm also germinating 4 x Sweet Seeds Dark Devils that will be managed in a separate diary. I am keeping it really simple this run and am using my new DWC cloner to germinate. I made up 3 gallons of a de-chlorinated water in a strong solution of Endoboost Hydro and added 1/4 tsp of Superthrive per gallon. I adjusted the Ph to 6.0 and let the pump and aerator cycle the res for a few hours. I put rapid rooters into 1.25" net pots and ensured that the water level was high enough so as to just touch the bottoms of the rooters. About 10 minutes later the rooters were all nice and damp, so I planted and prayed. I've just got a 9w pinkish grow light mounted about 5 inches above the rooters, but once they are rooted well, I'll move them into a 1020 tray with dome under 65w of mixed spectra lighting with supplemental blues. Once they've got a couple sets of leaves, I'll plant the rooters in some half-gallon biodegradable fabric bags and move them into my tiny tent under a pair of mixed spectrum QB's. They'll have to stay in there until my current run of photo clones is done in the closet. Once space opens up in the closet, I'll plant those biodegradable bags into 3 gallon pots and move them in. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks....🙏 9/7 (a.m.): Thus far, I've just got one each of Wedding Cheesecake, Strawberry Pie, and Lemon Pie emerging... 9/9: All but one Lemon Pie are up and growing. The problem child may yet fully emerge..her cotyledons are opening up, but they're just below the surface. I caught some rainwater today and pre-watered all the 1/2 gallon degradable fabric starter pots with it. My photo clones still have a couple weeks left, so the timing should be right for me to move these seedlings into the tiny tent in a few days and plant them in the starter pots...and 12-15 days later I'll plant the starter pots into some new 3 gallon fabric pots I've already got filled and waiting. This batch of soil I'll be using has been cooking since late March, and the rhizosphere is fully rocking. I also treated all my soil this summer with Beauveria Bassiana, Metarhizium Anisopliae, and Azamax to ensure I have no pestilence to deal with, so I'm optimistic that this will be a successful grow.😁 9/0: I planted up all but one Lemon Pie in 1/2 gallon degradable pots and moved them into the tiny tent under 240w of mixed spectra quantum boards.

24/08/2023 - made a 2.2sh solution with 2ml bio grow, 8ml bio bloom, 8ml top max, and 6ml bio heaven and fed like 40% of it today and will give the rest tomorrow. 5.5ph and 735 ppm was the measure readings. Did not gave nutes to the monster cropped one, only plenty of plain water. 26/08/2023 - gave the rest of the solution to them. noticed today some deficiency, plants must be requiring more nutes for the flowers

Ok so today is day 9 and I have had a change of plans for the grow and have lost 4 of the 9 papaya cookie seedlings.Probably just a stroke of bad luck but I must move forward.I have 5 papaya cookies,1 gelato auto and 3 mystery photos from fast buds mix pack in the tent that will flourish after the autos finish.Just plain water every few days is the plan and recharge once every 10 days.SE7000 is raised to the ceiling of my 5x5 80 inch high tent set at 30 percent power.

Day 26 of 12/12 today , So in day 22 I made a biotabs PK compost tea with Mollases in place of Orgatrex. Yet two days later they still look hungry, so I turned the autopots off yesterday and gave them a little Canna Flores Organic. I really underestimated how much Biobloom I should have added to the soil. Next time I would use 5g per litre of soil. The jacks Toe Jam that's decided it wanted to flower in its own terms is almost ready so that did not get any feed , just water. Apart from that just general maintenance , defoliation , tying the branches down a little tighter , keeping the autopot tank full.

🌸 Week 6 Flower – RollerCoaster Haze 🌸 The RollerCoaster Haze ladies continue to impress, towering, branching, and now fully focused on flower production. At this stage, the stretch has slowed down and the energy is clearly moving into bud development. Both phenos are responding exactly as expected: stacking, swelling, and pushing out white pistils everywhere. 📸 Media Update This week we worked mostly with video content, editing clips to show different angles of the canopy, along with a handful of carefully edited photos. I also tested the GoPro inside the tent. While it captures the energy of the grow, the challenge remains: grow lights and reflective walls can be tricky for sensors. It’s part of the experimentation, learning what tools work best for documenting the journey. 🌱 Plant Development • Flowers: Buds are bulking up, calyxes swelling, and pistils standing tall and abundant. • Colas: Long, thick colas are forming, showing that the plants are putting their full effort into bloom. • Health: Leaves remain vibrant and healthy, a great sign that the nutrition plan is balanced. • Size: The girls are still ginormous, filling the tent with their structure and presence. 💧 Feeding & Environment The recipe continues as in Week 5 with the Aptus + Plagron combo, fine-tuned to deliver exactly what they need in mid-flower. The soil’s foundation combined with targeted liquids creates harmony between root uptake and flower demands. • pH: ~6.0 • EC: Moderate, adjusted to soil reserves • Temps: ~28–29°C • Humidity: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 The girls show no stress signs, just steady flower development and consistent stacking. 🔬 Educational Spotlight: What Happens in Week 6 Flower? By Week 6, the plants are deep into reproductive growth. Here’s what to expect and observe: • Bud Bulking: Calyxes swell, flowers add weight, and colas begin to take their final shape. • Pistil Production: White hairs remain abundant, showing active flower growth. Some pistils may begin to slightly darken or curl in certain spot, a natural step in maturation. • Trichome Formation: Resin heads start to appear and multiply, laying the foundation for terpenes and cannabinoids. • Nutrient Focus: Plants now require a steady supply of phosphorus and potassium to fuel flower production, while still needing calcium and magnesium for structural support. This is also a week for observation. Every genetic expresses differently, some push pistils longer, others start swelling earlier, some stretch more, others pack tighter. It’s a reminder that growing is about watching, adapting, and learning from each cycle. 🌟 Looking Ahead • Expect even more bulking in the next two weeks, as the flowers really start to pack density. • Trichome coverage will increase noticeably, and aromas will begin to intensify. • Environmental control becomes crucial — high humidity can risk mold at this stage, so keeping air moving is key. ✨ Reflection Week 6 Flower is where the RollerCoaster Haze girls show their true potential. The canopy is vibrant, the flowers are swelling, and every sign points toward a powerful finish. This is the heart of the ride — and these plants are carrying us higher with every day. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – Summary 🌸 • Development: Buds bulking up, calyxes swelling, long colas forming, abundant white pistils. • Health: Vibrant leaves, strong root base, plants remain ginormous and thriving. • Feeding: Aptus + Plagron combo (no All-in-One Liquid), balanced P/K support, steady Ca/Mg. • Environment: • pH: ~6.0 • EC: Moderate, adjusted to soil reserves • Temp: ~28–29°C • RH: ~65% • VPD: ~1.3–1.4 • Notes: GoPro testing for photos/videos; documenting challenges with tent lighting. • Focus: Observation of pistil production, trichome development, and bud stacking. • Looking Ahead: Expect flowers to pack on more density and trichomes in the coming weeks. 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Hello everyone! I promised to track this grow very closely this time and ufortunately life got in the way. Here is a quick sumup of the grow. First of all- One of the sour stomper plants unfortunately didn't make it. It died at about week 4. The main stem somehow had rubbed/broken down. That's why it was falling down. It was almost like a mini beaver had chewed it off at the point where the stem touches the riot rooter. At first I thought nothing much of it, maybe it hasn't been rooted in quite well yet or something. And I was constantly touiching it when watering, that made it worse. Soo the leaves were dropping and the plant looked very weak. Then I decided cut thr rapid rooters top layer and found out the severity of the problem. Tried to tape it up and other things, but it was too late. At the end it appeared all good as the remaing plants got so big the I had some space issue so I wouldn't have been able to fit another plant in anyway. At that time I finally made my self-draining saucers. I took me a while and a lot of effort, but finally they were ready and working well. I also installed the self watering system and flowering was starting. Pretty soon I started noticing weird leaf symtoms. Brown spots, different kind. Some plants had it more, some less. Sour Stomper looked pretty good throughout the grow. Mango smiles seemed sensitive and Strawberry Nuggs were pretty strong until the end. The grow was basically me experimenting with the setup- changing watering schedules , changing ppm, ph and all that stuff to keep the leaves looking healthy and it was very hard I have to admit. Probably my hardest grow in that regard. But somehow, the bud leaves remained healthy and the buds really fattened up good. I got away with an amzing 700G dry bud harvest which was def a new record from one grow. And the bud quality is very good too! Next time definetly no more than 4 plants as they got pretty big and I thought it was a little overcrowded. I was doing some good defoliation too. I should have defolited strawberry nugs more tho. Sour Stomper got some amazing bud development from top to bottom because it was was growing next to strawberry nuggets which were really small most of the grow. They actually took the most time to harvest even longer than Mango smile. Mango smiles were ready quite early. Sour Stomper was just in time! I topped sour stomper and both Mangoi smiles, left SNs both normal. Looking back at it, the way I grow them, Should have topped SNs too. Would probably have more space in the middle and longer side branches. Probably wouldn't have been as bushy! I followed the full Terra aquatica feed chart until the end. I was supplementing with CalMag a lot as I thought the symptoms could have been from a CalMag deficiency as this was my first grow with RO water. Overall a very challenging but good grow at the end. First time no mold problems. A record breaking yield for me. Basically surpassed the upper limit for all plant probable harvest sizes. Got good smelling quality bud. Very happy overall and will continue experimenting with Mephisto beans in the future for sure! I guess what I like the most about Mephisto is how close to description the plant is, very stable genes in that regard. Next time I will also have to start feeding plants higher PPM feed faster at the very start. and during flowering. But still not 100% sure what caused the leaf symptoms.

14.10.2022 56 days from seedling. This beauty hasn't stretched anymore but she looks amazing. Slight increase in flowering nutes. She is consuming more amount of water in irrigation. The plant is a little dark green so I took a few more days to fertilize. The buds are gaining weight at a good pace, I can already see the size of some trichomes by eye. Good weekend to everyone. Happy growing 💚🌱🙏

| 📅 Week 10 | Days 64 - 70 | 💡 750w 📏25' | | ☔ 38%-50% | | 🌡️️🌞 72 - 74 | | 🌡️️🌑 68 - 71 | 1/11 The reservoirs were swapped out with fresh nutrients and topped off at 5.8PH. I will give them another day or two before flushing I think. The smell is currently fantastic 1/12 There really isn't much to do with these girls anymore other than PH every day and make sure their water levels are consistent to maintain their nutrient levels. Tomorrow I will begin the Flushing 1/13 I decided on one more day of nutrients. I Topped off the Reservoirs and adjusted their PH's to 5.8 as usual. I cleaned out the tent today as well. I can't wait to harvest these buds they are looking great. 1/14 Today is Flushing Day! I will flush them for about 6 days which is very fairly long for a typical DWC grow. I will only PH the water from here on out. 1/15-19 I Flushed these plants while maintaining a stable PH and humidity the best I could. The water level is not important during this because without nutrients you don't need to worry about ratios as long as you just keep the PH stable you will be fine. With a longer flush like this one, you should expect to see death in leaves its ok. I only did this for life reasons, I suggest a 3-5 day flush in DWC. These plant's Trichomes matured fast and harvest time approached quickly. The smell in the tent is very potent and gloves are going to be an absolute must on this chop! I will be hang drying the plants inside the dark grow tent with ventilation to maintain humidity levels. I don't personally have a preference between a slow or fast drying process. This time I will be looking at 3-5 days of hang drying before chopping them into jars for a few weeks of cure using Boveda packs. I'm very pleased with the bud color and smell even though the overall weight will be less than desired I will be growing this strain again immediately. There isn't too much more to add to this week other than the grow is complete and the Dry/Cure process is all that is left. Be sure to look out for the harvest update with the final weight and smoke test! _______________________________________________________________________ Feel free to leave comments/questions below or give me any feedback to improve my diaries.
