Week 5 : Six Shooter in Biotabs An eventful week, growing daily, destroying its training daily, pulled out it's metal hook and most of its ties , but overall doing well, getting bushy and pushing it's secondaries above the canopy reaching for the light. Turned up the light to 600W, it's making the room a bit warmer but i'm able to control it pretty well. This 6 shooter is basically in the first week of flowering, but will need an extra week or even two of bloom i think before it comes to maturity, i'm guessing week 12. watered with my micro and beneficials solutions, frothy and brownish but i mean clean water is overrated lol gave them some watering with co2 too, but when i sprayed I think i was spraying too close and using tap water in which i had not measured the micro i was adding so the spray left residue everywhere on the leaves, not really sure how to fix it actually, it's not biggie i know but still. I got these bakery trays used for cooking cakes and cookies and i'm using them to lift the pots slightly getting better airflow. I dont know if it's the airflow under the pots or simply that these are just drinking more for the stage of growth they're at but they're getting three waterings this week which means they are drinking fully 50% more on last week ! 9 pints instead of 6 ! special shout out to my new friend @greencropPT for teaching me some new tricks and showing me some cool stuff ! Week 5 : Six Shooter in Vertafort decent week for the vertafort six shooter, used to be the runt, has basically caught up by now. Glad i did some LST the canopy is even which is great to gage how high the light goes - i'm adjusting the HID every couple of days basically following the growth of the plants. This one has bushed out nicely, i removed a fan leaf that was shading the main cola. It's just now pushing out mini pistils , looking forward to seeing how these do during the main flower stretch. Watered her with my micro and beneficials once, co2 enriched water once, and will likely get a third watering this week. Just going in the tent every so often trying to train the side colas and keep the canopy even. Looking forward to seeing some amazing buds come out of this one ! Week 5 : Mr.B's Six Shooter First week of flowering for the tent and everything is going really well actually, Mr.B's not really showing any signs of excess or deficiencies, but i got nervous going into flower so i added some beneficials. The six shooter is bushing out really nice, pushing it's secondary colas above the cannopy. i took two leaves off this one, they were healthy leaves , but thick, dark brown and causing all sorts of shadow... It was a really interesting experience doing the beneficials for the first time, it got clumpy, brownish, frothy ... gross ! and it was "so ghetto" getting spores and such straight out of a zip lock, check my other diaries i'll put some pics up of that just for laughs. I decided to eyeball my micro and kelp spray which means that there is residu all over lol, trying to get rid of it without rubbing it off, but i might just have to do that. lol that was an experience too, i mix it in for the spray and the solution turns red ! never seen that before even on this site ! check out the vid too, you can see me spraying the plants lol... no biggy but it was an eventful week for bulbi and I learned loads and loads ! not sure if I'm doing the beneficials correctly : does anyone know if those bacteria and fungi play well together? anyway VPD is really on point doing very well on that front, and you can tell from the explossive growth : these six shooters completely pulled out their metal hooks ! drop me a line , i'd love to hear from you ! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€

Week 3 Update โ€” Transplant & Early Veg Development Date: 11/12โ€“11/17 Strain: Fast Diesel (IZI.Farm) Medium: Fox Farm Happy Frog + Gaia Green Amendments Light: Mammoth Nova Sun 950W Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Light & Environment Fixture: Mammoth Nova Sun Series 950W Settings: 50% total | 100% cool | 40% warm | 0% IR | 0% UV Previous PPFD: ~300 ยตmol/mยฒ/s Light Adjustment (11/17): Lowered 6", increasing canopy PPFD to ~435 ยตmol/mยฒ/s Temperature: 83ยฐF Humidity: lowered to 65% RH Three phenos continue showing strong vegetative growth, while one runt remains smaller but healthy with no signs of stress or deficiency. A minor leaf-curling issue caused by airflow has been corrected. Considering relocating the driver outside the tent to help mitigate heat as the grow transitions toward flower. Transplant Details (11/12 โ€” Day 21) All four plants were transplanted into 5-gallon pots. Soil Blend & Purpose Gaia Green 2-8-4: Supports root development and provides early phosphorus and potassium for the transition into flower. Gaia Green 4-4-4: Balanced nutrient source maintaining steady vegetative growth. Worm Castings (20%): Supplies organic nitrogen, microbial activity, and improved soil moisture retention. Glacial Rock Dust: Provides trace minerals and silica for stronger structure. Mykos: Mycorrhizae applied to the root ball to promote efficient nutrient uptake and early root expansion. Watering & Nutrient Breakdown Initial Watering (2 gal RO) ยฝ gallon per plant, pH 6.4 Silicium (1 ml)-Improves cell wall strength and plant stress resistance. Helps stabilize growth during and after transplant. CalMag (4 ml)-Replaces the calcium and magnesium absent in RO water and supports new growth development. Ruby Fulvic (10 ml)-Improves nutrient movement, chelation, and trace mineral uptake in the freshly amended soil. Pure Zym (8 ml)-Breaks down organic material and dead roots, converting them into available nutrients and keeping the rhizosphere clean. Rhyzium (2 ml)-Promotes rapid root establishment by adding beneficial microbes. Recharge (1 tsp)-Provides a strong microbial inoculation that enhances nutrient cycling and soil vitality. Feeding Log 11/15 โ€” Light Microbial Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.4 | 250 ppm Silicium (1 ml): Continued cell-wall support. CalMag (2 ml): Maintains Ca/Mg levels during early veg. Ruby Fulvic (5 ml): Increases nutrient uptake efficiency. Pure Zym (4 ml): Supports enzymatic root-zone activity. Photosynthesis Plus (6 ml): Adds beneficial microbes that enhance carbon metabolism and overall plant vitality. This mild feed kept the microbial community active while roots colonized the pot. 11/17 โ€” Early Veg Support Feed 2 gal RO (ยฝ gal each) | pH 6.4 | 250 ppm Silicium (1 ml): Helps support structural integrity as light intensity increases. CalMag (4 ml): Ensures steady Ca/Mg availability under higher PPFD conditions. Ruby Fulvic (10 ml): Maximizes micronutrient uptake and transport. Rhyzium (2 ml): Continues promoting root spread throughout the 5-gallon pots. Growth Notes & Plans All four plants have adjusted well to their new containers. Three phenos are vigorous; one remains a smaller but healthy runt. Increased PPFD from 300 to 435 has improved leaf posture, node spacing, and overall vegetative growth. Humidity reduced to 65% to match increasing canopy density and airflow needs. I tied down branches on 3 of the 4 plants on 11/20 to open their structure and prepare them for the upcoming stretch. The smallest phenoโ€”the runtโ€”was left untouched to continue growing vertically. Itโ€™s still healthy, just not meeting the overall standard of the garden. Iโ€™m giving it one more week to show improvement before deciding whether it stays in the run or gets culled. Flip Decision After monitoring growth, root establishment, and canopy development, the decision has been made to flip to flower on 11/26. This will give the plants enough time to fully settle into their 5-gallon pots while still maintaining a 4โ€“5 week vegetative cycle.

This slurricane smells sweet and delicious. I spread the plants out a little this week so they get better light and air flow. Other than that I haven't done anything besides keep the reservoir full. Still pumping nutrients 1 minute on 20 minutes off. They are getting .5 tsp maxibloom per gallon. Not going to run any boosters this round. They dont look like they want or need it.

I installed a PH controller but it didn't work right and only the ph up peristaltic pump is working. I will use this over my vacation as my PH drifts down naturally so this should work until i get a replacement. I watered in my gsc and other seedlings until runoff with 850 ppm heavy in nitrogen to green them up as the organic top dressing is taking too long.will see how they respond.on week 4 day 4 They are responding well to nitrogen Gsc is taking off!!!will continue nitrogen until end of this week as needed.

Beginning of week.. So I went ahead and did a late defoliation.. humidity is sitting too high in the tent.. its been around 50 - 55 % RH but it does sometimes get up to 60% RH.. removing some of these leaves should help lower the RH AND lower the chances of getting mold.. these are gonna be some fat colas.. and those are the ones mold can creep up on.. doing my best.. dehumidifier just cant keep up.. but I also dont run it inside the tent due to the heat that thing and it's transformer give off when it runs for over 24 hours or so.. but she shouldn't mold.. I've got 3 fans inside just moving air.. but of course, sometimes that isn't enough.. but we will see how this goes.. may even add another fan.. keep it on the floor of the tent an point it up.. we shall see! But damn she smells so amazing.. i can smell alot of similarities from the Mandarin Cookies in here.. which also has Mandarin Sunset as a mother.. just as this one does.. but you can smell the skunk along with it.. but not as powerful as the citrus.. aw man the citrus.. love that shit.. I even chewed on a trichome covered fan leaf.. very delicious! So glad I have 9 more of this strain and a few others from ETHOS.. next run may be some Aura Genetix.. I've gotta see what fast versions are all about.. I bougt some of the Peach Bellini.. should be pretty epic.. keep an eye out for that diary after this one! Mid week.. Lower branches are getting plenty of light after the defoliation. The smell is getting intense. My carbon filter has began to smell like shit lol. Not literally.. but it stinks.. maybe like rotten skunk or something.. I've ordered a new one but I took that smelly one off for now.. so the whole block smells like member berries right now till the new filter comes in.. tomorrow. I couldn't figure out what the smell was untill i accidentally got my face into the exhaust fan wind.. smelled like rotten skunky shit.. lol. I guess I forgot things need to be changed out every so often.. just figured "air" running thru it wouldn't make it crap out so fast. Been maybe 8 - 12 months.. something like that. Never used one before this.. but running some ETHOS, it is a must! So citrusy! Purples are slowly coming in. She really reminds me of the Mandarin Cookies I grew.. but I also think the Mandarin Cookies was heavier on the Mandarin Sunset phenotype side.. and this one is pretty similar. Scent, growth, stretch.. but I know I cant say for sure that's what it is.. this is just what I believe is going on. But wow.. such a beautiful plant.. I've had to run a a few twist ties to other branches in order to keep them from flopping over, leaning on eachother and the sides of the tent.. should have scrogged I guess lol.. live and learn tho.. but so far its not too bad.. but this early on shows me what I might have to be dealing with in the next couple of weeks cuz they are beginning to get STACKED! I've said it before, and I'll say it again... ETHOS for the win ๐Ÿ† Later that day... Wow.. going back in again and now she smells just like the Early Lemon Berry! Wth! How is that even possible?! She is doing amazing things! Some calyxes are beginning to turn purple. Some of the top leaves are as well. Tried to get some decent pics of it.. but I guess I cant figure the new phone out.. as you can see, some pics are a little blurry. And sometims the capture is delayed behind the flash and I still get a dark pic as if it didnt even flash.. but whatever.. I can't wait to see what she has to offer! Such a gorgeous girlie! So happy and excited for this one! End of week.. Nothing left to do now but feed/water for about 1 more week and she will be ready for the 2 week flush!.. I normally like to just water as normal (without nutes, duh) for the entire 2 weeks and still keep checking runoff.. maybe FloraKleen once a week and then just water till harvest! So far, I am starting to see some milky! Still mostly clear, but that means she is getting closer! So excited! This girl really smells just like the Early Lemon Berry I grew! But still with a bit of sweetness to it too! Aw man I can't wait! Anyways... on to the next week!...

10/27/2025 - Day 63 Short Facts: - 45cm tall - VPD @ 1.2 - Light @ 60% - Showing very small flowers ----------------------------------------------------- It doesnโ€™t look like thereโ€™s going to be a big stretch. Sheโ€™s staying smaller and more compact than the Papayton. I defoliated her a little bit and tried to remove a few of the very small branches, but sheโ€™s just too compact, so it wasnโ€™t that easy. I decided to stop for now. She grows as she grows. ๐Ÿ˜Ž I canโ€™t change much about it, so Iโ€™ll just let her do her thing. Honestly, apart from being smaller and very compact, there are zero problems. Everything else is perfectly fine. Nothing more to report this week, except that I decided not to switch the normal Blumats to the Blumat Maxi anymore. Instead, Iโ€™m watering from the bottom occasionally whenever the Blumat Digital Pro shows a high value, meaning the soil moisture is getting too low.

Day 41 Start of week 7- the 3rd light looks like it has added some over-all weight, however, doesnโ€™t look like Iโ€™ll pull a gram per watt out of the 3 lights together. Weโ€™ll find out soon enough, few more weeks.

In week 10 I have some plants, which have grown taller than the rest (canopy is appr. 80 cm high now). In order to not have to raise my lamp, I rather correct their height by 'supercropping' them. Supercropping is a technique developed by SOMA from SOMA_seeds and works VERY WELL. Instead of topping your plants (=cutting off the main stem) it is better to take the main stem between your fingers (appr. 15-20 cm form the top) and brake the fibers inside and then bend it downwords. This way the stem will stay intact and heal itself and you dont loose the main buds growing on it later. In the video above I show and explain how I supercrop a plant. The plants are now getting more and more into flowering and therefore I switch the dimmer on my SANlight EVO4-120 plants to 100% now (see in video above). The BIO NOVA nutrients are increased as well a little bit, so the plants can build big buds.

This week have been all about making sure the bud sights get enough light and enough water. They drink rapidly now compared to the first 10 week of its stage. Very happy with the result i didnt expect to do so well with that many bud. So i am happy with this still and still as excited as i were in the start of the grow. I learned to be more patients with plants. I am planning on harvesting in week 17-18. This will be bombass weed i can see and smell it. Smells like a candy shop every time i open the tent :D

Very good journey to me, she has responded very well to the lst training, providing me beautiful colas, enough for me to have nice clean organic nuggets to smoke. I would definitely would run this Ak420 by seedstockers again, the sweetest phenotype was the number #2 which you can take a look at here in my page!
