Things are coming along OK this week. Maybe I spend too much time with them but it just didn't look like much was happening this week. I am dealing with a bit of leaf burn from the LED so I moved it up to 48" and the plants seem to be responding better now. It could be it was getting too much stress from the light intensity. Will see how the next week goes. I was hoping to hit it again with Ton-O-Bud but I'm not sure it will be a good idea now that I'm a little behind. I'd almost rather start the finishing nutes for the Indicas but will see how the plants look when that time comes.

1/2/2023: decided to give them both another week. They are both slowing down their water uptake and they are both fading hard, but I'd like to see a little more amber tricomes before chopping. 1/3/2023: gave each plant 1 liter of water, mixed with ThermX-70 and Dr. Zymes Eliminator. 1/5/2023: looks like Dr. Zymes did the trick. There is a noticable reduction in fungas gnats. Just in time to chop the plants down, haha. Gave them both .5 liters, basically to wet the top soil. Plan to chop any day now. Very few green leaves left, so it's time. Tricomes could use a bit longer but don't want to chance bud rot. Should have given one last top dress 3 to 4 weeks ago, but I did not expect then to go this long. Also, 5 gallon pots are not big enough for organics. Moving on up in size next round. Going to try an earthbox in this tent. 1/6/2023: last watering today with a little ThermX-70. Going to harvest in a few more days. Been 101 days since they sprouted and the Orange Bubblegum is up to about 10% amber and the Newberry is probably 15% to 20%, so it is definitely about that time to harvest.

On February 6th, I transplanted clone into a 7 gallon fabric pot. I put 70 cups of Ocean Forest in, then placed clone (still in pot), in the center of 7 gallon fabric pot, then filled the rest of the pot up with Happy Frog. Before I transplanted, I sprinkled Great White in transplant area.

Here’s my try at lemon pie from Fastbuds, of the 3 beans I got 1 displayed traits of ruderalis is her fan leaves and stretched to 4 ft tall. The bud structure is a little fluffy but smells great and is a good stone. I would cultivate it again and I would recommend a scrog and not to put them too close together.

This cycle was really fun! I chopped 142 gs of wet plant. This time I’m gonna dry in the closet with all the leafs on for 4 days.. Pics of harvest are uploaded! 30 sweety grams for me and my gf ;) Taste is mellow, but I can taste the sweey sour taste tipical of SweetZZ! I grew the same strain with organic fertilizers and it tasted a little better, but this one with was fed with Hesi nutrients and it’s more strong than the organic one! Diarie continues with her sister!

Sorry all its been busy on my end,getting my first outdoor grow in over 20 years going, and it's a whopper of a harvest if all goes well. Now back to the Dos si Dos, she's getting so frosty and really fattening up nicely. These two clones are the last of my monster cropper's I have. It's hard to imagine that these two lovely specimens were clones taken at week 5 of flower and reverted back to veg. I do know now that if I would've waited another couple weeks before flowering these two monster clones I would have ended up with substantially more bud sites. I have heard that monster cropping produces plants that are far more bushier and are perfect candidate's for the S.C.R.O.G technique of plant training. I do have to say that this genetic from Barney's Farm has earned a spot in my lineup indefinitely do to it stability and he's a growing, super fast flowering I'm just an exquisite taste.

Day 29 Flower (Day 71) Woohoo! First day of week five of flower and an easy day at that. I just gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.2 water and took some pics. I'm still experimenting with bud photography. This time with a tripod but still no additional lights. I also need to take the pics when the lights are off as the flowers look funky under the LEDs. The right girl is slowly starting to bulk up, but the left girl is lagging. That is no wonder, though, considering that she has had much less light due to those space issues. Also, there's a huge quality difference between the lights in each tent. So I'm looking forward to comparing the bud quality that each tent will generate. Day 30 Flower (Day 72) It slipped my mind, but it's been over two weeks since I gave the girls nematodes to get rid of the gnats. As always, the nemos did their job quickly and effectively, and I haven't seen any gnats since. However, to ensure that they stayed gone, I did a second treatment today, mixed up 10 million nemos into 6 liters of water, and gave each girl half at pH 6.6. Day 31 Flower (Day 73) Chill day. I just gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and cut some clones from her. She is deep in flower so I'll try to monster-crop her. Never tried that before but have heard that it creates some really bushy plants. As she already is bushy I'm curious to see how bushy a monster-cropped clone of her will be. She had a few low branches that I left during lollipopping for this reason and I cut four of them with a sterile razor blade, then scraped the lower part of the stem and dipped them in Clonex. They're now sitting in the window with a small LED spot to make sure that they have enough light to re-veg. Day 32 Flower (Day 74) I know that I got a new tent for my left girl only a few days ago, but I decided to upgrade to give her a bit more space. I went to my local grow store today and picked up a tent made by the same company as my main tent (UndrCovrLab). This new tent is also made specifically for my wardrobe, maximizing the available space. I went from a tiny 40x40 cm tent to a "massive" 75x45 cm tent. Still very small but almost 2x bigger. Woohoo! The left girl was squeezed into the 40x40 tent for so long that I had to use some LST to spread her out and increase light penetration now when she has some more breathing room. Speaking of lights, my small ViparSpectra is a bit underpowered now in this larger space, so now I have to consider upgrading that as well. The simplest solution would be to get another ViparSpectra, and while this little light has been performing well, it lacks UV diodes. I'll look around for options. We have gotten hit by a heatwave here, so now my tents are sweltering. The main tent reached 36 degrees C today at one point :/ Oh well, I cannot do much about it except hope that the heat doesn't stress out the girls too severely. The girls are very thirsty in this heat though, and I gave each 4.5 liters of pH 6.5 water. Day 33 Flower (Day 75) All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 5.9 water. A bit low as I used too much pH down and then was too lazy to fix it. Day 34 Flower (Day 76) No idea what happened, but an army of fungus gnats invaded my right girl. It's only four days ago since I watered her with Nematodes against gnats, and there were no gnats at all then. A few days later, it is gnat central in my main tent (the left girl in the other tent has no gnats). It's almost like I didn't give nemos to the plant but instead gave her gnats. Weird as the nemos have always worked great in the past. Now I need to start fighting these annoying little shits. Sigh. I'll give nemos another go, and if they don't work, then I'll use some sand. Worst case scenario, I'll use Neem oil, but I really don't want to go that far. I gave each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water, and that was it for today. Day 35 Flower (Day 77) The last day of the fifth week of flower and all is (pretty well) well in the tents. The left girl is 103 cm tall (6 cm increase in a week), and she is lagging quite a bit behind the right girl. She is healthy and quite sticky to the touch, but the flowers still have a lot of fattening up to do. I hope that will speed up now when she has a bit more room to spread out so the light can penetrate the canopy deeper. Getting a more powerful light would also help. When in doubt, add more photons! Someone who doesn't need more photons, though, is the right girl. The top bud has been burnt slightly, and there's light bleaching on a couple of colas as well as on a few fan leaves. I removed the driver from one of the lights and raised the light a bit higher. Every centimeter counts when you're running out of space! The right girl increased another 3 cm this week and is now 123 cm tall. I hope that is it as I'm now completely out of room. The gnat army in my main tent is still going strong. So strong that they have now sent out a small expeditionary force to my small tent and started to colonize the area. Sigh. I Will hit the girls in a day or two with nemos, but today I just put up some yellow sticky traps and gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water.

This is a fastflowering test strain and I have no real information on the genetics. I'm guessing the flowering time of 57 days is about right for a fast flowering strain. I trimmed her after 13 days of drying and got 30g of decent solid buds and 15g of larfy buds that will go with the trim to make some hash. Power used for whole grow in 114 days. Lights=201.7Kw (201.7×0.25)(=£50.42) Rad=212.23kw (212.23×0.25)(=£53.05) 201.7÷114=1.769kw per day light average. Average 100w for veg Average 150w for flower. Light average for grow 125w. Stats for the grow. FFNA2410=42g FFNA2411=45g FFNA2412=43g Acapulco Gold=44g Expected hash from trim 28g Total=174g 174÷125=1.39g/W

63 days!! The girl is still not blooming for reasons I don't understand :D this is the first auto girl that spends so much time in vegetation :) the problem is that I have to go on vacation for 3 weeks in August, so I don't know how I'm going to get out of this situation :( other FastBuds varieties always bloomed +- 5 weeks and here it is already 9!!!!

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 PURPS ARE HERE TO STAY OH YAY!! Thinking about changing the title of this diary to that right there.. Like i said last week, purps are here to stay, nugs are 100% all purple though leaves are green. The smell has really come in this week. In spain we call this the Cali aroma, that high grade aroma. 😂 Kind of bummed that the buds aren't as big as I imagined but then again I wasn't expecting the purps so yeah, you get what you get I guess... They are getting a bit denser, so that's nice. Things are running smoothly.. In flower I use Enzymes once every 10 days or so to help out with the roots.. That's it.. hope you like the content. Pictures were taken on day 42. If so then check out the other diaries i've got going in the same tent. Take care out there! One love!

These are the replacement crew for the left hand side of my tent. They have been growing for around 1-2 weeks in 1 gal pots and then 1 month in the final 4gal. They are currently running on veg nutes for the first week or 2 of the flip, then they will join the other side with a 1000pm flower version of the Mega Crops. For veg I run part a/part b at a 1:1 For flower i run it at 2:1. Ill be slowly removing bud site growth that is closer to the bottom. Also will remove all the lower leaves around week 3 or 4,depending on foliage.

Week 7 flower - buds are fattening this week and smell is very strong. Two distinct phenos. I suspect a bit of nutrient burn so dialed back ec to 2.1-2.2.

Both are really shooting up. I’m noticing a real difference between using 5 gal pots vs larger containers. Planter size has a huge impact on plant size as one would assume.. But, does it have any impact on quality? I guess we will find out in a few months. Again, learning and experiments. Sooo soo hot… was afraid they would show signs of fatigue but they were good..not really trying to push dry back too much in these temps 6/27 saw signs of caterpillars and accidentally broke off an upper branch

Not much to report here been watering every 4-5 day to keep a good dry period to try and promote some trichome production without much succes on #1. I am now starting to think, it might have been a bad seed (Genetics) that i got. It have certainly been a big experience to grow my first seeds ever and to get an okay result out of it so far. Been keeping Nitrogen use down to a minimum. Been flusing my soil plants for the first time at the middle of this week

Things are moving along great.The buds are developing and smelling absolutely amazing.Cherry cola won’t be a big producer but wow is her scent potent.The Lemon cherry cookies having the biggest buds so far and will finish first but still needs some time.Ive increased light intensity to 80 percent which kinda fried the fan leaves but no longer needed at this point.
