(10/28-11/03) Starting a new grow with two 420 FastBuds Fast Flower seeds (thank you 420 FastBuds for making this possible) I plan to be rough with these plants and top them both to 8 colas. This journal will be different than my last (alot less detail) but I will still look for new opportunities to learn something new that I can share. I also plan to take at least 5 pics per week with 1 video and 1 'pretty' cover pic per week, however I also plan to delete the excess details at the end of each week. I sanded both seeds on the edge and simply soaked a towel for germination. These seeds took 3 days to show a crack in the shell from the time that I placed them into the paper towels without glass of water soak prior- As soon as they cracked, I placed them into Rapid Rooters in an incubator until they showed tap root growing out from the bottom of the rapid rooters plug. That took a total of 6 days (now called Day 0) from paper towel to transplant day (now called Day 1) where they were about 1 to 1.5 inches above the soil line after I planted them in 5 gallon pots with about 2 tsp of Dynomyco Mycorrhizal Inoculant already mixed into the ph balanced soil that had been growing Happy Frog mycorrhizae for 12 days under cardboard. I fed them each about two cups of plain de-chlorinated tap at 6.3 ph on day 2, and another .5 gallon of 5.8ph de-chlorinated tap on day 7(both plants top soil was 7.0ph before feed). I plan to ph read the top soil again tomorrow but it read 6.7 on both plants after 5.8 feed)

I am feeding with tps one and CalMag oac one time, then it’s back to regular tap water (well water) that comes at 8.5 pH with 156ppm of tds. The feed was approx a pH of 6.5. More importantly is the consistent soil pH which appears fixed at 6.8 I know it’s lazy! However…. I have noticed doing this to reveal to me that the soil pH is very stubborn and not easily changed by the pH of the water alone. Stuff in the water can definitely have an impact. But still, most feed waters I use don’t change the soil ph. I do make sure the pH is within a healthy range for soil, something between 6 and 7 I figure is ideal. I’ve found if there is enough lime in the mix, and as long as I don’t over feed soluble nutes, then the soil pH appears stable and fixed. With enough lime in the mix, I can ultimately arrest the soil pH at 7. It’s really cool. I thought adding too much lime would give me something potentially alkaline, and maybe it will. But I’ve added lots of lime before and still haven’t gotten past 7 pH. Maybe I didn’t add enough to go further? Nevertheless I’m not interested in going past 7. I haven’t seen any issues with the speed of growth watering with 8.5 tap water, surprisingly. As I’ve said the soil pH would read 6.8 before and immediately after watering with the 8.5 tap. So….. I’m thinking the stability of the soil pH is a positive indication that the microbes are not being subjected to pH shifts, or at least nothing substantial. I mean, at the end of the day when things are looking good, I feel like I must have something right.

Hi all Here we are ar the mid 8 week flowering point and the ladies are finishing up nicely. I have expected a 10 week end but looking at #1 , she won't wait too much longer I don't think. They are not the biggest of ladies but do smell so sweetly lemon now and I am hoping the final weeks swell them to a great finish. The buds are nice and airy looking and i don't see any signs of mould anywhere so far. The positions in the room during this cold winter have made an impact on the foliage colours and it has been hard to keep a constant temp above 19°c with the energy costs ect. I can see how maybe only 3 of these girls in the same space would have been a great producer too. Their is plenty to work with in side branching and growth so a s.c.r.o.g would work wonders for this strain. I did cram them in with 5 ladies and another strains plant too so perhaps more space would have given each a way heavier final weight. I can see 4 of them Mali g the full 10 weeks but the #1 does look so close together finish now.

Been a working week! Defoliated twice! First I did lower fan leaves, waited a few days and snipped the Rest to allow light to reach all news growth! Dynomyco is a banger it’s got these girls so sturdy! Just look at the stems and how much growth I have already and this is just day 28 in veg! A lot more to come! I can’t wait! Still continuing with foliar sprays a few times a day!

🌱🌱🌱Continuamos este cultivo, con esta hermosa cepa de FastBuds, Girl Scout Cookies Auto, ya pasamos a la vegetación como tal.🌱🌱🌱 👨‍🍳Nutrición👨‍🍳 Dia 8 y 9 sigue consumiendo el agua del ultimo riego en el día 6, en esta segunda semana se comenzara a dar la solución nutritiva NPK para el crecimiento y la aplicación de tricodermas foliar. Día 10 se riega con una solución nutritiva NPK de 700 ml con Plagron Power Roots (0.2 ml), Plagron Pure Zym (0.4 ml) y Plagron Alga Grow (0.5 ml). Día 11, denota un crecimiento sostenido y saludable, exuberante con aparición de hojas nuevas rápidamente, se acerca el comienzo del entrenamiento LST para preparar el camino al SCROG 👨‍🌾🏻 Día 13 se realiza el primer entrenamiento, LST primero se fija la base del tallo, a continuación se dobla en 90° el ápice suavemente, transcurridas 4 horas la planta ya se relaja hacia esa posición y se ajusta el LST para hacerlo mas profundo y dar un ángulo desde mas abajo, logrando mejor sujeción y mayor penetración de luz a los nudos inferiores. Luego de eso se riega con una solución nutritiva NPK, de 700 ml, 0.2 Plagron Power Roots, 0.4 Plagron Pure Zym y 0.5 Plagron Alga Grow. También se aplica foliarmente Tricodermas en una solución al 0.25 ml tricodermas x Litro ( esta solución se dará foliarmente de manera progresiva, con aspersiones 3 veces a la semana)💪💪💪🌱 🚀Equipamiento🚀 Indoor de 60x60x159 cm y una iluminación BlackCob F320, se activa solamente 1 modulo (160w) a 70cm para estimular su crecimiento, pero evitar estrés lumínico Acompáñenme para ver los resultados de este hermoso desafío, un saludo cultivadores 🔥🔥🔥

Still looking abit smaller than usual but I think it could just be the genetics. Did the first bit of LST of these girls tonight and hopefully they will respond well and start bushing out letting the dident branches catch up.

Ciao a tutti! Settimana speciale queste, i fiori finalmente hanno preso forma! Sono bellissime, noto con piacere che si sono sviluppati molto e decisamente più in fretta di tutte le altre volte che ho coltivato a terra, in particolar modo i pistilli. Ho messo una seconda rete per lo scrog ma non ho calcolato bene l'allungamento della seconda settimana di ore fioritura e sono arrivato troppo a ridosso del LED, avrei dovuto girarle in fioritura una settimana abbondante prima da poter gestire meglio le altezze, ma a parte questo va tutto benissimo, iniziano anche a vedersi a occhio nudo o tricomi, anche sulle foglie più prossime al fiore, saranno ottime per il trim. Bene non ci resta che attendere, mi mancherà un mesetto scarso, le radici sono bianco latte, l'ec nella norma, il ph pure, tra una decina di giorni o poco più penserò a svuotare i 3 vasi e rifare per l'ultima volta la soluzione 💪🏼🍀😎😝🍀🍀

The made a jump in size. The weather conditions change each day. Some days it's very hot, some days it's more cold with less light. She tripped her size and shows the first pre flowering. Unfortunately she has had heat damage, but it's minor and should not effect her that much. The new leafs look very healthy and the other leafs also look good, except for the heat damage. I think she will be growing to about one meter or so, which is fine for me. I'm looking forward to some nice growth:) I do not plan to use topping or other training techniques, since it's the first time I'm using this genetic and don't want to f it up. She has a really nice spot an my south balcony, which gives her more than enough direct sunlight to bring her to its full potential, if the weather will become more consistent. If more sunlight is predictable, I will increase the silica dosage to prevent more heat damage, even though I know even that has limits.
