Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

No fertilizer this week. I harvested the Apricot and the Pound Cake. I will wait one more week for the Orange Sherbet because it doesn't seem ready even if it's in the Fast Buds harvest range. This week should be the last "flowering" week, next ones will be the harvests. I don't want to add another flowering week just for the Orange Sherbet, there will be nothing to see that will not be included in the harvest. During half of the grow, the weather was really bad, especially for the summer period. The worst weather was during the vegetative phase. The plants didn't receive enough light which resulted in poor roots and leaves development. Because of that, the plants didn't have the chance to grow nice buds even if the sun was there during most of the flowering phase. Last summer, I grew a Tropicana Cookies (also from Fast Buds) in a tiny pot at the exact same spot and had better results despite the smaller pot. I didn't record the sun for that year but the weather was better from what I remember. I'm disapointed by the weather but cannot blame the plants. You cannot expect beautiful plants and buds if they don't have light 😞 In the end, my summer grows are more like bonus grows (my main grows are under a light in the winter) and I make them just for fun and to be able to taste new weeds without too much investment. So, mission accomplished 😎 Parameters : ------------------------------------------- Humidity range : 30-70% depending on the sun Temperature range : 22-30°C depending on the sun SUN Average : sunny

3.2.2024: Start of week 7 from seed. Fed 1/4 fox farm trio nutes plus calmag. 64oz at 6.5ph. There's some clear nute burn on the leaf tips but she's doing well. Super puffy bud sites with tons of long white pistils. Few random orange hairs here and there. 3.3.2024: Day 44 from seed. Steady as she goes. No change to current state. 3.4.2024: Watered 64oz at 6.5ph. No change...chugging along. 3.5.2024: Day 46. Buds are forming nicely. Some red hairs and trichomes on the sugar leaves. 3.6.2024: Day 47. Fed again at 1/4 strength with 3/4 gal of 6.5ph. Runoff tested at 6.49 just around 1000ppm. Solution going in was 300ppm 3.7.2024: Day 48. Plant doing its thing. One fan leave on the top has a touch of brown/red spotting. Can't tell if its light/nute related. Good bud development all around. 3.8.2024: Day 49, end of week 7 from seed. Watered 96oz at 6.38ph. Runoff ppm at 1050 with ph at 6.7. She appears to being doing great. Super stoked to see the bud development over the past week. I'm thinking the reddish hues the top sugar leaves are showing might be purple which is kinda cool. Doesn't seem like a deficency.

The last week of vegetative state. Some of those are pretty dense, they look like salad. Maybe adding a bit of blue to this 80 CRI LED is a good idea to get a bit more elongation. Work a lot on LST tonight. I'm trying to make some clone with a technique I've seen long time ago. I put the cube directly on the plant. I remove the skin surface of the branch before putting the rockwool cube around . All cube are wrap in plastic to avoid excessive drying. No hormones. I will wait one week before cutting those clone out of the plant( thats my dead line before flowering). They all receive 200ml of PH 6.5 water this morninig and 200 more this afternoon. Next watering in the morning tomorrow, Working on ESP32 wifi based co2 meter for controling co2 level in the next grow. =============== 2020-05-26 =============== Everybody receive 300ml of ajusted 6.5 water. Adjusting LST and adding some defoliation. Watering clone/cube with 5.5 ajusted water with blunt top a seringue. ========= 2020-05-27 ========= Trying to water 3X day the clone/cube with 5.5 ajusted water with blunt top a seringue Everybody have received 125ml in the morning. Worked on the low cost wifi Surge protector 6 space smartbar. 15AMP@120v https://mygeeni.com/products/geeni-gn-sw003-199-surge-smart-protector-white/ Found a way to get rig of the cheap stock firmware. Flash it with a alternative firmware(tasmota) using wifi/without any opening/soldering. Those are pettry nice , timer capable, you can remotly control and monitor them After setup you can acces the bar using the small web interface or via a MQTT server and home automation software. I've posted a image of the result for those 2 examples. So im thinking to turn this into a tutotial to help grower to acces flexible technology and software at resonable price. You can comment to signify your interest in this! =================== 05-29 ================== Everybody back on water until monday/switch to flowering. Added some tutor for the next stage. Moved the cam for top view I cleanup/defoliate the bottom of each plant.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 2 in the flower chronicles of our majestic Cherry Cola Auto is unfolding, and the botanical saga continues with astounding vibrancy. Our green queen, having transitioned seamlessly into the flowering stage, is unfurling her blossoms with an elegance that's truly mesmerizing. Last week, the anticipation for flowering reached its peak, and oh, what a sight to behold! The once-prominent bush has metamorphosed into a lush haven of blossoms. The topping technique from earlier weeks worked wonders, and the result is a dense and intricate network of bud sites, promising a bountiful harvest. The freedom granted to our Cherry Cola as we removed the training supports has allowed her to grow wild, like a botanical ballet of branches reaching for the heavens. The bushy bliss is a testament to the success of our training endeavors, creating a flourishing green symphony. Speaking of success, the decision to venture into topping during the vegetative phase is proving to be a game-changer. The multiple colas that have emerged are like a crown atop her green majesty, and I find myself in awe of the structural beauty it has introduced to the plant. In the nutrient department, the shift to P-Boost and Topbooster has been a key player in this unfolding floral tale. The phosphorus boost is working its magic, contributing to the formation of robust buds, while Topbooster continues to enhance the overall flowering response, promising an end product that's nothing short of spectacular. I can't help but marvel at the visual delight our Cherry Cola presents. Every day brings new growth, and the energy in the tent is palpable. It's not just a plant; it's a living masterpiece in constant evolution. As Week 2 in the flowering stage comes to a close, the Cherry Cola Auto stands as a testament to the joy of cultivation. Topping, training, and nurturing have led to this vibrant spectacle. Stay tuned, green enthusiasts, as the floral drama unfolds in the coming weeks! Genetics Cherry Cola Auto @Fast_Buds @fastbuds_genetics_official @fastbuds_official @fastbuds_espana Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_ Love, Care, and Attention: @dogdoctorofficial As always, thank you all for joining me on this journey, for your love, and for it all. My horticultural odyssey would never be the same without you. Your love and support are cherished, and I feel both honored and blessed to have you in my life
