I had a lot of fun with this strain and it was grown against 400 growers so let me say PHENO hunting is a true thing. Overall the Bud was a nice dense structure and the smoke on it was smooth and the high nice and even.

Really just a video from this week but I think I was a week or 2 behind anyways lol just so y’all can see some real color of my girls. Still haven’t named em but I’ll be doing that in the next week I’m switching em to 12 gradually within the next week to experiment with some stretching during the transition compared to a straight 12 switch

Week 3 of Fast Buds CC from seed, a little over 2 weeks from seedling. Growing nicely. No smell obviously. But the baby leaves are getting huge and fat (seems to be common with Fast Buds strains). She's starting to put out nodes. I started some LST. Gonna have fun with this one! Thanks again @FastBuds !! 👍

So it’s the end of Week 5, Day 35 for the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL auto flowering grow. I have come to the conclusion that these four plants are not going to be XL after their pre-flower stretch. Overall the plants are healthy but the prolonged low humidity and temperatures have robbed them of the vigorous growth documented in my previous Sweet Seeds diary (Cream Mandarine XL Autos). I am disappointed that this will most likely be an XS harvest but a tiny quantity of quality bud is better than nothing. I gave them their first feeding of GHE FloraNova Grow fertilizer at a rate of 1.25 ml/gallon and this is 1/4 of a full dose that would be given to a photosensitive strain. I am still watering every fourth day at a rate of 2.8 litres per plant or 0.7 of a litre per plant per day. I will only be using the fertilizer every other watering or every eight days. That’s about it for this update and on to… Mom’s Tip for Week #5- To Tuck or Take? The when, where, why and how to defoliate Autoflowers successfully…. Lets start with some basic Biology- Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants take in sunlight, water and Carbon Dioxide and transform it into energy in the form of sugars that feed the plant and make it grow. So essentially, every fan leaf on your plant is a solar panel collecting light and therefore valuable in it’s own right. I always try to tuck my leaves if possible before considering removal as my plants need all the energy they can get to power through until harvest. But sometimes tucking isn’t enough or just isn’t an option anymore so here are my suggestions for taking the fan leaves from your Cannabis plants if needed. When- defoliating Autos can be done anytime throughout the grow although it’s generally not done within the first 3-4 weeks. The plants are usually quite small and those early weeks are valuable growing time that these plants simply can’t afford to miss. This is when I find leaf tucking to be most valuable, allowing the plants to keep what few solar panels they have while also allowing the grower to position the leaves so that they are out of the way. I personally find that I defoliate my plants the most over the final 3-4 weeks of the grow as foliage is dying off on it’s own by that point and a few less leaves at harvest time is always a good thing! Of course anytime you see dead/dying or diseased foliage, it should be removed as needed throughout the grow. Where- defoliating Autos is a delicate balance due to their small size and short lifespan. If my plants are healthy, thriving and tucking is no longer an option, I will only remove fan leaves if they are covering/blocking new growth or potential bud sites. As the plants age and the foliage begins to die off naturally, I tend to remove the oldest, lowest growth first working my way up the plant as needed until harvest. Why- defoliating Autos is done for a few basic reasons but only as an extreme in my garden when all else fails. Removing certain large leaves will allow more light into the lower portion of the plant’s canopy reaching young branches or potential bud sites. As the plants age, it also helps with increasing airflow around your swelling buds thus reducing your risks for mold and fungi in humid grow environments. Removing any and all dead/dying or diseased foliage is absolutely necessary in keeping your plants healthy and the grow room clean and pest free. How- defoliating Autos is simple if you keep it simple. Only remove what you absolutely have to and use a sterilized set of sharp pruners for a clean, controlled cut. As the plants age and the foliage begins to die off naturally, just wait. What doesn’t fall off on it’s own will snap off with a simple twist of the leaf’s stem. If the leaves don’t come off with ease, they’re just not quite ready yet so be patient. Be mindful that removing the solar panels from your Cannabis plants is always risky business but Autoflowers are even more challenging in their own way. Smaller plants with a lower leaf to bud ratio and a short lifespan means less room for error so paying close attention to the when, where, why and how is crucial for successfully defoliating Autoflowers. Tuck if you can, only take what you absolutely have to and of course- never take more than 25% of your plant’s overall foliage at one time as this can be devastating or deadly to even the healthiest of plants. Allow your plants to take the lead and they will show you which leaves are ready to go- at what time, all on their own just as nature intended.

12/30/23 - Day 54 - Hello All! I started this week a day early. I wanted to update everyone on something I have been thinking about a lot. Curing. I feel if there was a hole in my growing skills it would be curing. Last grow there was more than I had anticipated. I was not set up for curing 1 lb. I threw in an audible at the last minute. It worked out but I know I can improve with some trial and error and hands-on experience. So after reading a ton, and going off of some of my prior builds for drying, I came up with this design. I have a controller that will turn the air on and will run when the contents inside the box hit whatever RH% I want to set it at. I think the first week I will set it for 78%RH, then every couple of days go down a % until I hit 62%. The thought is that if the bucket gets above the set RH% then the air will kick on and distribute air across the buds until the RH% is back down to where you want it. It will force the humidity out. I won't need to worry about burping. It will happen on its own.... in theory. Ill update tomorrow with some pictures after the water change. 12/31/23 - Day 55 - Everything is looking good. The water change completed this morning while I was in the shower. Its adding nutes now and will do so over the next hour or so. She is starting to get stinky. I had to add the extra carbon filter to the room. I've got some pics up top of that. Happy New Year! Next time I post it will be in 2024! Have a great night and be safe! Dont drink and drive, your life and anyone else involved in an accident is too important! C' YA! 1/4/24 - Day 58 - I have been thinking of trimming her for a while.... I got a comment on the bushy-ness and I got self-conscious and gave her a trim. Lol I have been going bath and forth for a while and that gave me the push to give her a little trim. She looks great and is growing really quickly. Ill update with more pics as it goes along.

Day 15 21/5 . Plant #1 is going amazing. very happy with the recent development. Considering a transplant in a week to its final 18L soil pot. Plant #2 still breathing. Everyday gone my hopes go lower. Plant #3 is finally out of the soil. I'm so happy to have a 100% germination rate in this batch. Great job Barney's Farm. - Moving from here on full diary on a separate and individual one. Link coming soon. Temps have been great, 19 with lights off, 26 lights on. RH levels go from 70% in the lights off, down to 30% in the day. Regarding the replies to my second question: First of all thank you for your help. Now, the extractor is running in the minimum speed already it has incorporated thermostat. Think it's really a bit too powerful. And yes, I only turn it off a couple hours in the night to raise the RH inside the grow, that's been helping me getting better results for the lights on period. Day 16 22/5 - Plant #1 continues growing great. Leaves have a daily growth that amazes me. Maybe a little short, if I compare with the height of the #3. Looking to transplant it during the weekend to the final 18l pot. Keeps drinking water very well, and is reacting well to the humidifier. Plant #2 still there. Not sure when, but I'll just throw it very soon Day 17 23/5 - Plant #1 is getting nice big leaves, but not as tall I as expected for this stage. Today was transplanted to the final 18l pot during night time, and watered with bio roots. Plant #2 is gone. unfortunately, turning it upside down wasn't such a good idea, should have waited a little longer and the outcome would have been different. I noticed I was keeping my lights too far, so went down to 45cm (ish). Hopefully the plant won't stress from transplant, and the lights aren't too close. RH is finally going up inside the grow to more acceptable levels. 40% with light on and up to 70% with light off. I also made a little change in my passive intake, to create more negative pressure, and the result is immediately visible when closing the tent. Day 18 24/5 - Plant #1 Reacted well to both the transplant and the light approximation. Nice response and stretch as you can see on the pictures above. As both plants reacted well and showed no signs of heat stress, lights went a little more down, closer to the plants. The closer the better, so let's see tomorrow the result. Keep feeding with the nuts mix I made earlier this week,switching to water when it's finished and then a new week should begin. RH looks stable 40% day 70% night. Night temp oscillates between 17 and 19, nice and cool for the ladies. Nice numbers, makes me happy. Day 19 25/5 - Plant #1 keep its natural development, love to see her in the day, has a beautiful green color and also the leaves looks quite nice Temperatures today got a little higher in the grow, touching the 30's during day time, and consequently de RH went to 32%. Also got a few of this bug stickers to help prevent with possible intruders Day 20 26/5 - #1 Start to consider topping it soon, got the 3 branches already. Not sure if should wait for another set of branches comes out. No feeding today, yesterday gave it enough so it looks like it can take another day to dry. The temps were at 19.5 and RH was 62% - off time I leave you guys also a video of the grow with the lights off just made. I'm quite proud of it, let's see how it goes! Day 21 27/5 - #1 growing steady. Love her so much 😍It hasa really nice green, leaves are quite strong. Love the way they bounce back when touched. Definitely the plants are enjoying the work of the circulation fans. Inside the tent things are looking nice, even though the RH is still low in the peak of the day. 30% only today. In the night can get it up to 70% if wanted but day time is getting a little hard. Temperatures are nice, 27 on, 18 off

Day 72: 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off the same with ventilation. Ferilization is the same except Critical Orange Punch and Sour Stomper they are being flushed. Water intake also remains the same 200ml per day. Humidity approx 35 percent. Day 74: All good, Sour Stomper needs to.be harvested next week and then Lemon Zkittle and Critical Orange Punch.

Harvested #2, 40/60 amber to cloudy trichome ratio, couldn't weigh wet 25/10/24 - Harvested #1, 50/50 amber to cloudy trichome ratio Haven't weighed #2 final dry weight yet, still in the process of trimming #2 final dry weight: 273.9g, just under 10 ounces. 02/11/24 - #1 is dry, haven't had time to trim, in jars until I have time. Estimate #1 will yield more then #2 #1 final dry weight: 351.8g, 12.5 ounces 625.7g total off both plants #2 has better bag appeal, smell is very floral and piney. #1 is not as nice looking in appearance but takes the win for smell, has a strong skunk smell, get a whiff of cat piss whenever the jars are opened as well. Was very prevalent in the final week of flower, kept thinking the cats had got into the room and peed somewhere. Overall happy with the results.

Finally into the big tent. The plants are looking a bit unhappy but fingers crossed it’s temporary until they adjust to their new home. Also back to using my 550w x 2 LEDs. Hps can cause swings in temperature and the plants love these LEDs better. Will top these once they have recovered from transplanting. Still only using root juice as using allmix soil.

If you like the sweet and fruity smell and taste this is the strain for you. But only if you grow organic thats when the taste and smell comes out strong.

amended so there is enough for the plant to finish flowering. After the 3rd week they are really perking up and getting that fat structure on the buds. Starting to smell very danky. Can't wait to taste this one under these new grow conditions.
