05.01.2023 Day 31 I don't even know where to start. These Truffaloha's are by far the most iced out plants I have ever grown. #1 is the most uniform plant while #2 is the prettiest and #3 the iciest one. They are also extremely stinky . If these smoke half as good as they look this will be the best smoke of my life 5.3.2023 day 33 I took some cuts of my mother plants. I will Flower them out and keep the clones as a new mom

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2204 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... đŸ€Ș But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/1- I soaked both seeds for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged roughly 24 hours later. 12/3- Today their tap roots were about 1/2 to 3/4" so at 11 am I transferred them into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph using a tine off of a plastic fork as a 'mini trowel' to make a hole in the pellet and to gently cover the tap root, leaving only the seed head slightly exposed. This method accomplishes most of the initial work the seed has to do by eliminating having to orientate itself, push it's root down and head up. By 10pm the #1 seed had her cotyledon leaves opened and the #2 isn't far behind! 12/5- Well this is the full Day One for the #2 FBT #2204 and the second day for her sister! I'll keep them in the covered/heated Jiffy tray until I see their roots beginning to emerge from the peat pellet, then I'll transfer them gently into their respective fabric pots. The #1 will be going into the 4g Gronest pot from FastBuds and the #2 will reside in a 3g pot by Wraxly, which I'm trying out for the first time. 12/7- Yesterday I checked the #1 tester and she had roots starting to emerge from her pellet so I transferred her into her 4g Gronest pot. After making a hole in the medium for the peat pellet, I coated the entire surface with Xtreme Gardening Mycos then placed the pellet in the hole and planted her in. Lastly, I watered her in with about 4oz of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of FishShit added which was then ph'd to 6.4 @ 75℉ after which I placed a humidome over her for 24hrs to ensure that the humidity stays constant. The #2 tester is doing great and I'm confident that she should be ready to transfer into her fabric pot in the next couple of days! 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! đŸ’ȘđŸ˜ŽđŸ€™

Que dire mise Ă  part que se strain est tous simplement magnifique ? Il porte bien son nom, il commence Ă  ĂȘtre bien Frosty! Et la couleur violet commence Ă  apparaĂźtre de plus en plus! Les bud sont beau et dĂ©gagent une belle odeur fruitĂ©, le plant a une sacrĂ© couverture rĂ©sineuse, je pense qu’elle pourrais ĂȘtre parfaite pour faire des extraction! Cette semaine je lui ai donnĂ© un thĂ© de compost oxygĂ©nĂ©, on va voir comment elle va rĂ©agir. Recette du tco pour 20 litres. (Grammes : gr) 50gr biochar 250gr zĂ©olite 3gr granulĂ© Micro-Organisme IT45 10gr pollen d’abeilles 10gr levure de biĂšre 3gr endomychorize 10gr consoude 20gr vers de farine 10gr cendre coque de ricin 12gr ortie microniser 15gr Kelp 10gr spiruline 10gr de cbd living soil 20ml de miel liquide 30ml de mĂ©lasse 20ml d’acide humiques et fluvic Mettre tous les ingrĂ©dients (sauf la mĂ©lasse ,l’acide h/f et le miel) dans un filtre 400micron, le placer dans un seau avec de l’eau (10litres). Rajoutez le miel et 10ml de mĂ©lasse Y mettre un micro bulleur alimenter sur une pompe Ă  air et faire oxygĂ©nĂ© le mĂ©lange pendant 24h. Rajout de 10ml de mĂ©lasse aprĂšs 12h le dĂ©but de la mise en route de la pompe. A la fin des 24h rajoutez le restant de mĂ©lasse et d’acide h/f, mettez y en plus 10litres d’eau au mĂ©lange. Reste plus qu’à arroser! Pour la Frosty j’y ai incorporĂ© 7litre de mĂ©lange La veille j’ai prĂ©parĂ© le pot Ă  l’arrosage avec 500ml d’eau et 2gr de Bacillus IT35 Amyloliquefaciens X5 Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens : rhyzosphĂšre, probiotiques. Aspersion et arrosage. Utilisable pour toutes cultures. La bactĂ©rie Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens se fixe dans la rhizosphĂšre en se nourrissant des exsudats racinaires. En contrepartie, elle stimule la croissance racinaire en sĂ©crĂ©tant des mĂ©tabolites de croissance et solubilise le phosphore en sĂ©crĂ©tant des phytases (enzymes). Effet probiotique consistant en l’utilisation de micro-organismes bĂ©nĂ©fiques pour la nutrition et la santĂ© des plantes. La spiruline, le plus riche et le plus complet des amendements organiques La Spiruline est une algue aquatique connue comme complĂ©ment alimentaire, la Spiruline est aussi un amendement organique et Ă©cologique trĂšs complet. D'une grande qualitĂ© nutritive, elle apporte Ă  vos plantes une quantitĂ© de nutriments, dont l'azote, phosphore, potassium, minĂ©raux, acides aminĂ©s, vitamines, chlorophylle et protĂ©ine. Le charbon vĂ©gĂ©tal actif est capable d’absorber jusqu’à cinq fois son poids propre en eau ainsi que les Ă©lĂ©ments nutritifs qui s’y trouvent. Il joue ainsi le rĂŽle de catalyseur et d'amplificateur pour les fertilisants traditionnels, qu'ils soient d'origine organique ou minĂ©rale. Ce pourquoi il est idĂ©al pour activer un sol et pour les thĂ©s de compost oxygĂ©nĂ©s. Le charbon vĂ©gĂ©tal amĂ©liore la diffusion et la disponibilitĂ© des Ă©lĂ©ments nutritifs dans le sol et offre des conditions propices au dĂ©veloppement des micro-organismes. Le Biochar peut ĂȘtre introduit dans une grande variĂ©tĂ© de sols. Il est particuliĂšrement efficace dans les sols pauvres, difficiles et acides. Pour faire agir rapidement et efficacement sa capacitĂ© d’amendement, le charbon vĂ©gĂ©tal est enrichi et biologiquement activĂ© avec des micro-organismes. Le Biochar se comporte ainsi comme un structurateur et un activateur dans le but de valoriser les sols. Composition : ‱ Charbon vĂ©gĂ©tal actif 31%‹‱ MatiĂšre organique 33%‹‱ MatiĂšre sĂšche 75%‹‱ C/N : 17‹‱ PH : 7,2‹‱ Azote (N) : 2,1 % dont 1,2 % azote organique‹‱ Phosphore (P205) : 0,74%‹‱ Potassium (K20) : 1,18%‹‱ Calcium (Ca) : 6,8%‹‱ MagnĂ©sium (MgO) : 0,65% Le pollen est l'ingrĂ©dient de base de la fabrication du miel par les abeilles. Riche en vitamines et minĂ©raux, il est qualifiĂ© « d'aliment parfait », y compris pour les plantes ! Les zĂ©olithes sont des roches cristallines, prĂ©sentant des capacitĂ©s d'adsorption particuliĂšrement importantes vis Ă  vis des polluants que l'on rencontre dans l'eau et dans certains liquides, ainsi que dans l'air et les gaz. Elles sont extrĂȘmement poreuses comme les charbons activĂ©s et elles peuvent ĂȘtre chargĂ©es Ă©lectriquement pour opĂ©rer comme des Ă©changeurs d'ions. La zĂ©olithe est un produit naturel qui respecte notre environnement. UtilisĂ© dans le milieu industriel depuis de longues annĂ©es dĂ©jĂ , ce minerai aux propriĂ©tĂ©s filtrantes particuliĂšres commence Ă  se vulgariser dans le domaine de la piscine privĂ©e, de l'aquariophilie, des bassins d'agrĂ©ment, de la rĂ©cupĂ©ration des eaux de pluie, ou encore de la culture des bonsaĂŻs et autres plantations diverses par exemple... 4 points techniques majeurs : - GrĂące Ă  leur propriĂ©tĂ© hydrophile, les zĂ©olithes peuvent adsorber l'eau jusqu'Ă  30% de leur poids total et sans aucune variation de volume : pas de gonflement en prĂ©sence d'eau ni de craquement en cas de dĂ©shydratation comme certaines argiles. Les zĂ©olithes sont d'ailleurs de puissants agents anti-mottant (anti-agglomĂ©rant). Cette propriĂ©tĂ© est trĂšs apprĂ©ciĂ©e dans le cas des terrains de golf et autres aires de jeux. - Les zĂ©olithes ne captent pas l'eau de façon irrĂ©versible, elles se comportent comme une rĂ©serve au voisinage des racines. Celles-ci peuvent capter l'eau en fonction de leur besoin. Les zĂ©olithes permettent ainsi de rĂ©duire les besoins d'arrosage jusqu'Ă  35 %. - Une zĂ©olithe se comporte comme une "Zone de Stockage" qui retient l'azote et les Ă©lĂ©ments minĂ©raux nutritifs au voisinage des racines et les relĂąche lentement en fonction des besoins de la plante. Cela se traduit par une croissance harmonieuse mais rapide du vĂ©gĂ©tal. - La capacitĂ© d'adsorption et l'Ă©norme rapport surface/volume des zĂ©olithes, vont permettre Ă  la fois la rĂ©tention de la solution du sol et une bonne oxygĂ©nation au voisinage du systĂšme racinaire. Les zĂ©olithes favorisent donc l'organisation biologique des sols en contribuant au dĂ©veloppement de la micropopulation. L'apport en nutriments (N, P, K) est rĂ©duit de 20 Ă  25 %. Ces derniers, adsorbĂ©s par la zĂ©olithe, sont beaucoup moins sensibles au lessivage et Ă  l'Ă©vaporation. Composition minĂ©ralogique : * Chabasite 70 % * Phillipsite 2 % * Feldspath 5 % * Augite 3 % * Illite - Mica 2% Analyse atomique: * Sio2 52 % * AL2o3 17 % * CaO 5,7 % * K2O 6,1 % * MgO 2 %, * Na2O 0,6 % * Fe2O3 3,6 % Amendement calcaire, dolomie et gypse avec prĂ©paration microbienne Ă  base de Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens IT45 et Saccharomyces cerevisiae LYCC6420 Formulation : micro granulĂ©s (1 – 1,6 mm) Ă  base de rhizobactĂ©ries favorisant la croissance des plantes qui se multiplient et colonisent rapidement la zone des racines, et de levures Saccharomyces cerevisiae souche LYCC ayant un effet probiotique. Les PGPR produisent des enzymes qui solubilisent le phosphore Ă  partir de complexes inorganiques et organiques dans le sol et stimulent la croissance des racines efficaces augmentant ainsi la zone d'interception des Ă©lĂ©ments nutritifs. Les levures LYCC permettent une occupation de la rhizosphĂšre par une flore bĂ©nĂ©fique.

ParticuliĂšrement riche en Potassium (K) organique, la consoude est une alliĂ©e idĂ©ale pour les pĂ©riodes de floraison. La consoude a tout pour plaire : riche en vitamine B12, elle agira Ă©galement comme stimulateur racinaire, mais aussi comme biostimulant cellulaire, grĂące aux alcaloĂŻdes, aux allantoĂŻnes et jusqu'Ă  30% de protĂ©ine ! 100% dĂ©jection de vers de tĂ©nĂ©brions.‹TrĂšs riche en microorganismes, le guano de vers de farine est une matiĂšre directement compostĂ© par les vers.

slow start for the gorilla glue family (gorilla glue auto and the strawberry glue), the wedding cake from Barneys farms started surprisingly flowering after 3 weeks! :D The wedding and all others needed a lot of defoliating but now the wedding has slowed the growth on the leaves and focussed on stretching for some nice strength to the dense buds its growing :D Every other day the strawberry and gorilla need defoliating to stop the bud sites being covered.

10 /11 Weeks FlowerÂŹÂŹ It's going to be a long flowering phase! 18/01/2024 Performed a mid-day clean using hydrogen peroxide Moved Spicy Temp to the flower tent Noted that the temperatures are a little high Searching for a new, large heatsink for the CropMaster Pro 1000 to resemble the SK600. Considering modifications to the CropMaster's heatsink as it is currently equipped with a 12-watt fan driver, PC fans, and connected to the LED mains power. It still works well, but planning to replace some LEDs once this grow is completed. Fed 200ml of organic random feed to 5 plants Discovered a sprouted seedling beneath the Forgotten Haze and relocated it to the veg tent 19/01/2024 Noted the arrival of the flowers 20/01/2024 Conducted a mid-day photoshoot Started using natural fertilizer as flowering has commenced, applied 150ml for every 5 liters of water 20-01-2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage, indicating anticipation of a substantial yield 20/01/2024 Performed defoliation before the onset of substantial flowering and cleaned up the lower growth Implemented SCROG (Screen of Green) 22/01/2024 Recorded a video of the pre-flowering stage 23/01/2024 No major changes, just observing more leaves and flowers 23/01/2024 Trimmed off the small undergrowth shoots Missed a few of the lower growth shoots 24/01/2024 Gently stretched the plant within the SCROG setup I'm aware that I need to reposition the pot more to the left to ensure the plants stretch evenly from both sides, but honestly, I'm feeling a bit lazy to do it tonight. I'll tackle it first thing in the morning, I promise! Originally, my plan was to have two plants in the set-up, but it turns out that Freaky Pablo is male. And now for a plant-related joke: Why did the Forgotten Haze Cakes go to therapy? Because she had too many hang-ups! _____________________________________ #IT WAS A RIDDLE YA DIDDLE SEE IT- "I was so stoned & baked last night and a little bit pebbled and tripped over a rake and then I finally had a ''eureka moment'' of what, ''Banana Shrimps are symbolic of! haha, my innocence is now ruined! The question I'm asking is; will I ever grow up? and leave Mushroom Town" _____________________________________. REAL CONCLUSION: The Skunk Of Trutn. Answer: Not for another 3-4 Weeks, then you get to leave Mushroom city. "But it's about Forgotten Haze Cake maturity in to woman hood begins. But she still stays in mushroom land, the land of the Forgotten, she's lost amongst the Haze and Cake strains of the cold damp soil where mushrroms grow. This is a Kind symbolic gesture reminder here, to keep the top soil clean during these colder times. We don't want mould or bud rot. Some hazes like to see 3 days of dropped temps to change her colours like a psychedelic trip during the start of maturity" "Shes always tripping over rakes, I have a little baby rake I use to freshen up her top soils" Allso she was living next door to Freaky Pablo that turned out to be male to where Bananas come from and shes the shrimp. This riddle is told by the perspective of the Plant realising she's a woman going through the stages womanhood" So, in conclusion, my fellow thinkers and growers, let's embrace the absurdity, cherish our innocence, and ponder the enigma of find a rake to trip over and lead us to that illuminating "eureka moment," no matter how stoned, baked, or pebbled we may be. Cheers to growth, both in the mind and the garden! _____________________________________ At mid-day on January 25th, 2024, I accidentally placed the light too close to the plants for a couple of hours, resulting in burnt leaves and pistils. It can't be a calcium deficiency since I have been feeding 6ml of calcium to 5 liters of water. The only difference was the proximity of the light.

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they œ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" Ă· "g" = kw/g "$" Ă· "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw Ă· 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 Ă· 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

This week I made the decision to remove the ScrOG net because the plant has stunted growing and the leaves were droopy before and after watering . Given the fact she is an indica dominant strain, my approach to training wasn't the best. Also the light intensity has been adjusted to PPFD level of 700. The light schedule is 18/6, so the DLI is about 45, which is the recommended maximum for autoflowers. I will keep my eyes on her, how is she will react.

She continues to look like she has a nitrogen problem.I'm stumped. pehaps its just fading.. or too much nutes ot needs a bit of flushing. will switxh to a less flores more boost and freah water to see how it goes. i still think my ph was a bit high.. not sure if ive seen any diff from feeding at 6.2 with some cal mag early in the week..
