Not much to say, I’m trying to get my tent to the right temp and humidity, checking for the best settings and making sure everything is ready.

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

"Hi, I received my pH meter this week, so from week 6 onwards, I'm aiming for a pH value of 6.0 - 6.5. This week, I noticed that the plant in the small pot received too much fertilizer. The other two 7.5-liter fabric pots also received double the recommended amount according to the feeding schedule, but they don't show any signs of over-fertilization."

02.08.2026 Hi Growmies, welcome back to week 8 of my Fast Buds Auto Grow! Weather and Conditions The weather has been almost perfect for the girls, with plenty of sunshine, high temperatures and still no rain at all. If these conditions continue for another two weeks, I might make it through the grow without any major issues. Fingers crossed! Unfortunately, my rain barrels are completely empty by now, so I've had to switch to tap water. Growth The girls have completely stopped stretching and are now focusing all their energy on swelling their buds and producing more resin. Papaya Cookies No more side branches are developing, but the buds are getting noticeably longer and fatter every day. Her smell has become incredibly intense. With the right wind, you can already smell her from the front of my house. Definitely not the best strain if you have neighbours with sensitive noses. The colours are absolutely gorgeous as well—a real eye-catcher. I estimate she'll be ready for harvest in about two weeks. Tangie When it comes to bulking up, she has now overtaken Papaya Cookies with ease. Just like in my 2024 grow, she's producing long, candle-shaped colas. The genetics seem to be incredibly consistent. The aroma reminds me of freshly peeled oranges, and I absolutely love it. I think she'll need around three more weeks before she's ready. Apricot Apricot is also showing some beautiful colours, although she'll probably end up being the smallest yielder of the three. But... she easily has the best aroma of them all. In my opinion, she even smells better than Papaya Cookies, although not nearly as overpowering. Fast Buds really created a beautiful terpene profile with this one. Her buds aren't as large as the others, but they already look as if they've been coated in thick sugar. She's by far the frostiest girl in the greenhouse. I have a feeling she's going to deliver a seriously potent smoke. I also expect her to finish in about two weeks. Feeding Nothing has changed this week. I'm still feeding T.A. TriPart as before. Over the next week I'll switch Apricot and Papaya Cookies to T.A. FinalPart, while Tangie will stay on TriPart for another week because of her longer flowering time. Pests Still nothing to report. Looks like the grow gods are on my side this year. 🤞 Final Thoughts Overall, it's been a solid—though not spectacular—grow so far. Missing a feeding while I was on holiday probably cost me a bit of yield, but that's perfectly fine. The vacation was definitely worth it. Now it's all about finishing strong and letting the girls ripen to their full potential. That's it for this week, my friends. Catch ya next week! Smoking_Joe_Frazier

😎Week 3 8/2- Here we go into week three and I'm looking to see some explosive growth happening in the tent soon!😃 The girls are all running 2 1/2" to 4" in height with the Seedsman Gelato OG's and FastBuds Purple Lemonade currently kicking all the others butts!💪 Gave a good watering this morning 2hrs after lights on with non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4. I plan on maintaining that watering schedule from here on out. I refilled the humidifier with non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5. Love the new setup with the two HLG quantum boards, 4 plants per light, and currently running at 400w per light. I'm looking forward to some record yields with this new setup using these 650R's! Temp's/RH/VPD are where they need to be at this point with daytime temp's maxing @ 83 Deg F/ nighttime @ 68 Deg F, RH @ 55%, VPD @ 9.0😀 8/3- Started compost tea last night, ingredients were; 5g de-clorinated 7.0ph water & 5tbsp unsulfured molasses, 4 cups worm castings, 1 cup alfalfa meal, 1 cup kelp meal, 2tbsp bat guano, 1 scoop Great White mycorrhiza and 3tbsp Neptunes Harvest seaweed extract which were added after the air was turned on and the 'bag' was in the bucket. I fimmed the FastBuds Purple Lemonade #2 and Seedsman Gelato OG #1, LST'd the FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 & #2, and the Seedsman Zkittles #1. Whilst doing all that I noticed my old friends the fungus gnats so I immediately placed sticky traps in all pots....little bastards! I went online and ordered Nematoads who will have a field day with the gnats! The girls all got watered in from the top and bottom with de-chlorinated straight water ph'd to 6.6 @ 76deg 225ppm, lights still @ 36" above the soil and running @ 400w each.😎 8/4- Gave the girls compost tea for breakfast. The tea had brewed for 38hrs., had 854ppm and ph'd @ 7.1...PERFECT! I split 4g of the tea between the eight ladies @ 1/2 gallon each. I also topped the FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 and Seedsman Gelato OG #2 and checked and adjusted LST on all. Temp's, RH, and VPD all on point with the girls are showing it! 8/5- Soil felt moist so skipping water today and will feed early AM. All the ladies have taken on a deeper shade of green and are really starting to take off since receiving the compost tea yesterday and they'll be going crazy by the end of this week going into week four. The FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 & #2 are both showing early flowering signs already and are starting to get some purple coloration in new growth which looks natural, not a deficiency. I topped the FastBuds Purple Lemonade #1 and Seedsman Zkittles #1 and checked/adjusted LST on all. 8/6- Gave a good watering this morning with 4g of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8, went through, and tucked leaves on all the girls to keep exposing lower bud sites to the light so that we have a nice even canopy for flower! All the girls have either been topped, fimmed or LST'd at this point and all I'll be doing from here on out is tucking leaves and possibly some very minor defoliation if needed, 8/7- All the girls look very happy this morning and are starting to get ready for that stretch at the beginning of flower. The FastBuds Crystal Meth's are the shortest, along with the Seedsman Zkittles #1 and the CM's are already showing pistils but I'm not declaring that they're in 'flower' quite yet. 8/8- Gave all the ladies a good water in this morning with .5g each of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.9 @ 76deg. Went over all the girls and tucked shade leaves to expose bud sites, removed a couple of the ones that couldn't be tucked, and were blocking numerous bud sites. I also continued with LST on all bending branches outward to expose them to more of that HLG 650R goodness!

Got a good Mason Jar and a half

Can't believe these now absolutley smashing it. Think it's another week of Overdrive for a few of them and then flushing. There is one that developed some black spots which I think is potassium deficiency. Other than that the rest are doing amazing under the Spider Farmer and Advanced Nutrients. The Purple is crazy really don't wanna chop it down become attached haha Smells like blackcurrant fruit punch omg Unreal . One smells like giant bag of skittles fruity as hell man! 2 weeks maybe and she done 💪👽

Ehi ragazzi come potete vedere anche questa ragazza sta crescendo più che bene! Grandi foglie e nuovi internodi e diramazioni si sono sviluppate dall ultima settimana, sono più che soddisfatto di come è in grande salute nonostante abbia toppato due volte, mi aspetto un buon numero di cime più o meno della stessa grandezza e produzione, mi aspetto tanto dalla solita qualità che Barney'S Farm offre da decenni ormai! Buon 420 a tutti ringrazio Mars Hydro come al solito che ha reso tutto ciò possibile e tutti voi che mi seguite, spero che che vi piacciono le mie ragazs quanto a me! 💪✌️😸😎🙏🌲💖

Uff...it was rescue in last second. Set her to bigger pots with 20liters of bio bizz allmix, gave her coffeset and biobizz biogrow, and at lesst the sanlight q6w and she slowly recover. I let her too long in a little pot. Hope in 4 to 5 weeks shes strong enough to give some nice buds to me

WIFI PUNCH by Growers Choice, another strain I am excited about trying, I did try this strain before but had a terrible germination that time so I ended up scrapping them. But this time around things are going great 👍🏾🔥😎

😎Happy day to all, my brothers!😎 We have reached the end of a wonderful journey...that of MY FIRST HYDROPONIC GROWING!!! I have obtained fantastic results from everything that accompanied me on this wonderful journey! starting from the bucket and the pump to finish with a wonderful AUTOFLOWERING genetics, each single component has played a fundamental role in the game, managing to give me extraordinary results....(let's hope it wasn't beginner's luck : )😁😁😁 on this special day, I send a greeting to all the people who unfortunately are no longer among us, but always live in our hearts!😇 LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKED THE DIARY IN THE COMMENTS

420FASTBUDS-Week 5 Strain:FBPHP02 What up grow fam. Weekly update on these girls. Finally the weather is nice enough I transplanted them into there final 4gal pots and put them into the greenhousefor the season. Got my drip line all hooked up and so far seems like it's going good. All in all Happy Growing

The plant is doing very well is filling up with flowers everywhere and it has a fruity skunky smell to it very nice I can't wait to see it fully developed . For now not much to talk about her except that she's doing pretty good developing good and very fast thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Day 57 : 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off light schedule, the same with ventilation. Water intake 200 ml per plant per day, fertilization remains the same on Monday, Wednesday and Friday Biobizz Family and on Tuesday Thursday Saturday bat guano and Epsom salt. Humidity approx 50 %. Smell is strong and nice. Day 58: I removed all the LST stuff so no more elastic bands and hooks. Day 62: Plants are developing nicely especially BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 they will be the fastest.

WEEK 5!!! Final top dress this week with 2 tbsp/gl of a 70/30 mix of 2-8-4 and 4-4-4 Gaia Green organic dry amendments. Started the week with compost tea @ 1250 ppm. GSD leaves always droopy, continuing to turn purple, then yellow on leaves so going to give her some seaweed extract and bat guano for the added Potassium that I think she's hangry for. Checked soil PH with my trusty BlueLab soil PH pen and low and behold the ph had somehow climbed to 7.0-7.4 on all (should be @ 6.5-6.7). Going to PH water to 6.0-6.2 for a couple of waters and recheck soil. The WW is just fuckin packing on buds and they're getting sticky as hell as well as the smells coming off all but the pissed off BD. Have learned that you have to be ABSOLUTELY on point with that strain!
