New week starts __________ 🌞26.04 It's a first day of pre-flowering period today. I've changed schedule to 12/12hrs and turned on third 100w lamp. (This is not entirely correct, because I'm using one and a half 200W lamp. There was no room for two of them and I was forced to cut one of them in a half) My babies started to grow dramatically fast after flushing two days ago and i decided to do one more particial defoliation procedure. Now a yong branches they grew has more light and space wich should help them to produce more flowers. Spraiyed all four with 'Sea Weed' and prepared to feel a strong smell after a few days (if You know what I mean 😉). I'll flush them with 'FloraKleen' solution tomorrow to outwash saults, then start to feed them in a 'Pre-flowering' mode. 🌞27.04 Nothing today except 'SeaWeed' spraying. I decided to not flush my plants today, because the soil is still too wet. I'll do this procedure tomorrow in the morning (when the lights will turns on). Girls are growing dramatically fast now, especially 'Hulk Berry' wich was the smallest. It dobled its volume in one night! 🌞28.04 I flushed my plants with 45 litres of 'GHE FloraKleen' solution in 3ml/l retio. It was a success! Drenage EC fall from 1.9 to 0.9 (from 1850ppm to 800). Now I'll wait four or five days before watering to soil dry. Also, I spraiyed them with 'GHE Sea Weed' as usual. 'RG'#1 leaves already toching my box wall, but I am afraid to defoliate it once more to pervent male flowers developing because of a big stress on pre-flowering period. 🌞29.04 All four plants are growing faster then ever after "GHE FloraKleen" flushing. Their leaves became 1.5 times wider in one night! Even 'HB' miniature leaves are spredding out in size. I spraiyed them with 'G.H. Protect' today. 🌞30.04 My plants crones are too thyck. They're asking for one more defoliation, literally. I'm still afreid to do this. Maybe I will do this a few days laiter when I'll water them. Till then I'm only bending big leaves under the top of a branches. 'G.H.Protect' spraing and that's all for today. 🌞01.05 Nothing for today. Even no spraying. My grow box is in the 'stealth' mode (hidden in the wardrobe-looking shell) so there will be no photo today. It's too difficult to open it, ecpesially there is no sense to do this just to take a picture. I'll water my plants tomorrow, so there will be an update. 🌞02.05 No watering today, the soil still too wet. I made one more defoliation instead. Almost half of a crones were cutted (big old leaves and some lowest branches). I think it's a good thing, because there were alot of new branches and no light reaching them. Now light goes toll the very bottom of my plants, forcing small yong leaves to grow quicker. ___________ Week ends.

Sie wächst immer noch in den unteren Seitentrieben weiter, obwohl sie schon gut blüht. Leider hat der Grauschimmel sie nicht verschont und ich musste ein kleines Stück eines Buds entfernen. Der Ventilator im Folientunnel weht auch sie nun direkt an um die Luftfeuchtigkeit in den Blüten zu senken und die Wasserversorgung wurde heruntergefahren. Hoffentlich schafft sie es bis zur Ernte in ca. 3-4 Wochen. Auto Cinderella Jacks benötigen etwas länger, dafür wachsen sie auch stärker. Sie ist die größte meiner diesjährigen Autoflower Pflanzen. Leider habe ich auch an ihr etwas Bud rot gefunden und sofort entfernt. Ich vesuche den Autoflowers den bestmöglichen Platz unter dem Ventilator zu geben. Der durch Schneckengewicht abgeknickte Zweig hängt zwar, aber er wächst bereits sich biegend nach oben. Bis nächste Woche! --- It is still growing in the lower side shoots, even though it is already flowering well. Unfortunately, gray mold has not spared it, and I had to remove a small piece of a bud. The fan in the foil tunnel is now blowing directly on it to reduce the humidity in the flowers, and the water supply has been reduced. Hopefully, it will make it to harvest in about 3-4 weeks. Auto Cinderella Jacks take a little longer, but they also grow stronger. It is the largest of my autoflower plants this year. Unfortunately, I also found some bud rot on it and removed it immediately. I try to give the autoflowers the best possible place under the fan. The branch, which was bent by the weight of snails, is hanging, but it is already growing upwards. See you next week!

All plants are flowering now :) Day 62 picture is missing because I was not at home on this day, sorry for that. The dehumidifier is still always ON to get +/-50% humidity. Weather is still wet outside. I poor +/- 2l in each pot during each watering (a little bit more for the 26l pots). I started to use some BioBizz/Bio-Bloom for the Mandarin Punch #2. I think it lacks of nutrients because of the smaller pot and since I added the nutrient, it looks like it's not getting worse. I made the second and probably last big defoliation. Plants heights at the end of the week: Honey Melon Haze : 116cm (+28) O.G. Kush : 72cm (+12) Mandarin Punch #1 : 127cm (+13) Mandarin Punch #2 : 117cm (+22)

The week started with an of trichome production and smell, orange and mandarin peel. Really nice to smell on her. She is packed with flowers and looks quit healthy. I need to have an eye on nitrogen. My potting mixes were a bit too hot and Tangerine Dream maybe needs a flush. We‘ll see how she will looks tomorrow morning and the so decide.

Il be harvesting this girl tomorrow on the 3rd of October, it’s been 78 days since she germinated, she’s had a good two weeks flush. She looks and smells fantastic!! I’d like to thank everyone who’s liked, commented and had a look at this diary 🙌. She was a pleasure to grow and appears to have rewarded me with a bountiful supply of solid, crystal coated, tennis ball sized buds 🎾🧀🔥 Il do a follow up when she’s been dried and stored for curing. Until next time 🌱💚

This week went by quick but they grew a lot! I didn't do anything different than last week but just increase their water intake from 1L to 1.5L and then followed my same nutrient regiment. I use the Fish Poop then the next day I just water. Then I use the Real Growers Soil Recharge and then I just water the next day. Then I use the MaxiGrow and then I just water the next day. Then I use the Stash Blend and then I use just water the next day. You can pH (using soil) between 5.5 and 6.5 so I always pH my Nutrient Solutions at 6.2 and use my pH'd water which is a 6.8 (7.0 for soil) but I pH my H20 after adding my Nutrient Solutions. I use my H2O that's always 65 degrees! I find it's better and easier to have a bucket with pH'd water ready to go at all times. It makes it easier when watering and feeding your plants especially if you have a few to care of!

The autos stems are really thickening up this week and have started to really expand the leaf size. probably good to note that 3 of the dosi-do autos are as wide as the 5 gallon fabric pots now and only on the 3rd set of leaf's. the Goat'lato has the most impressive starter leaf ive seen in a while also just being so wide and ridged. I added a 1500 watt ceramic heater to the grow room since temps are decreasing every night here in the pnw. the plants have seemed to really respond well and started drinking faster. on 10/30 i gave them a small dose of fish & kelp ph'ed to 6.0 I am adding a picture of the soil recipe i am using for these autos as i would like to openly share any knowledge i'm able to. feel free to use it as is or tweak it any way you see fit. so far its been an amazing start but only time will tell how it does throughout flower. i do plan on top dressing with gaia green bloom feed around week 2 of flower also. dates range 10/24 - 10/31

Hi meine lieben, 🤗 Die 2. Woche der Wachstums-Phase steht an... ..und die realität schlägt zu. Hatte versucht diesen Run mit einem höheren VPD-Wert und dadurch ohne zusätzliches CalMag hinzufügen zumüssen laufen zulassen. Da laut einer Studie, man durch einen erhöhten VPD, kein zusätzliches CalMag unter LED's hinzugefügt werden müsste. Allerdings gieße ich noch mit Leitungswasser. Also hatte ich mir mal die werte meiner Stadtwerke angeschaut. Und in meinem Wasser habe ich Calcium = 78 mg/l und Magnesium = 5,3 mg/l und somit ein verhältnis von 14:1😰. Was von einer Optimalen versorgung von 2:1 - 4:1 CalMag etwas entfernt ist... 😅 Beste Lösung wäre ein Filtersystem wie der Watertrim zu nutzen. Günstiger ist es Mono-Magnesium (oder bei bedarf Mono-Calcium) zu besorgen und das Wasser im richtigen Verhältnis auszugleichen. _________________________________________________________ Optimale CalMag-Versorgung in den einzelnen Phasen: Sämling: Cal: 50-60 mg/l Mag: 20-30 mg/l Wachstum: Cal: 80-100 mg/l Mag: 30-50mg/l Blüte: Cal: 100-120 mg/l Mag: 40-60mg/l ______________________________________________________________ Wie mein Ablauf in dieser Woche genau aussah, habe ich auch diesmal für uns Dokumentiert.

Day 29, 08.05.2024 1730 - Gave ladies a drink of 500ml water incl. fertilizer each - added two fresh yellow cards - removed my old DIY VPD controller unit (boy I learned a lot - for example that mechanical relais are not as durable as I thought - more on that later maybe) - Both girls look fresh & healthy - I am looking forward to this week! Day 30, 09.05.2024 - No action at all today. They are growing fast! Day 31, 10.05.2024 1000 - Raised the lights by ~5cm again. - thinking about installing a net that holds down leaves and lets the buds (which are uneven in their distance to the light) receive an even amount of light - Today after the "night" there will be a round of drinks again as both of the ladies let their leaves hanging 1700 - gave 500ml water incl. fertilizer 2115 - got the ladies out of the tent to give them an inspection. Both look good (from what I can tell anyways...). Removed 2-3 lower leaves and one smaller bud which do not receive enough light (again: from what I can tell - I don't know what I am doing, just following my gut feeling :D ) - and the biggest change: I installed a SCROG Net / trellus net! I was already able to stretch out the branches and it helps me organize the branches and buds towards a much more even canope. It is currently at about 35cm above the pots with the tops of the first branches poking through Day 33, 12.05.2024 - one round of drinks inkl. Fertilizer: 500ml each. Cheers, drink up! - also rearranged the buds to better fill the net Day 34, 13.04.2024 - another slow day while approaching end of week 5 - installed a 3D printed LED display holder - fit light a charm - soil is bone dry - there will be an early drink tomorrow morning Day 35, 14.05.2024 - Cheers - drink up ladies! Decided to give a tap more: ~600ml each, inkl. Nutrition In the end of week 5 both ladies look healthy and good to go. There are a lot of buds visible - I am curious to see how many of those will not evolve into popcorn buds. The height in the end of the week is ~38cm with Erika II being 1 cm taller than Erika I (who would have thought...)

Song of the week : Ray Charles - I've Got A Woman VS Kanye West - Gold Digger ft. Jamie Foxx ------ Day 8 - It's a new week and I'm so happy to deal with a recent slight over watering 😒 , I could not expect a better surprise as all of us growers likes to give extra care in attempts to save a grow 😤. Anyway , the ladies are thriving and It's the only things that matter ✌️😛 ------- Day 11 - They looks better today so I decided to transplant them in 3L pots. I did not water a lot to let the soil dry after the over watering 👍✌️. As I am a Lucky man , after the nice over watering here comes the white flies , this tiny little bugs that only want to suck the plants , bring fungus and put plenty of eggs under my leaves , you can't imagine how happy I am to already deal with 2 issues 😒, it will bring a lot of fun to try to get rid of them 😖😩😧

Tester FBA2504 – 42 Fast Buds | Harvest Report Harvest time! This Fast Buds tester delivered beyond expectations. The plant developed a compact and productive structure with dense, rock-hard buds absolutely drenched in trichomes. The central cola stands out, but the side branches didn’t fall behind—each one stacked with sticky, frosty flowers. The aroma is intense and unmistakable—sharp, chemical-like notes that hit hard and linger in the room. A truly powerful scent that hints at strong effects to come. Grow Setup: • Strain: Tester FBA2504 by 42 Fast Buds (Autoflower – genetics unknown) • Nutrients: Xpert Nutrients • Light: Mars Hydro FC-3000 EVO • Pot size: 11L • CO₂: used during veg and the first 4 weeks of flowering • Flowering time: ~78 days • Trichomes: ~15% amber at harvest This girl is frosty, loud, and ready to cure—can’t wait to see how she smokes!

I still found a few places with bud rot and I keep removing every spot I see. The plants have been doing fine beside that, they are looking and smelling great, they are super dense and I can't wait for them to be ready. Most trichomes are still clear so I am awaiting for the first ambers to show up, aiming for around 5% amber and 95% milky.
