The plants are growing like and hell and some plants more than others. I therefore have to super-crop the plants, which is a method promoted by SOMA from SOMA-Seeds. I take the stem of the plant at appr. 20 cm under the top, directly above an internode, and squeeze it hard between my fingers. So hard that I can feel the fibers brake inside the stem. I squeeze in a circle around the whole stem and then bend the stem sidewards until the whole top of the plant is bent 90 degrees to the side or even points downwards. This way I dont have to top the plants and save the big top buds. The stem will heal and the plant will continue to grow, just at a lower height. I use this method since many years and it works GREAT. The BIO-TABs nutrients still do thier job VERY WELL, all plants have a healthy green color. The SANlight EVO4-120 LED-lamps are still hung at 75 cm distance from the top of the pants and do an OUTSTANDING JOB.

So here we go again with some hopefully amazing new genetics from fastbuds to experiment with. I was very impressed with my previous testers and am looking forward to seeing what they kick out. So far I have had issues with germination and ended with inly 3 of the 9 I tried to herm fro the remaining testers I had !. I am so glad i at least got these ladies this far. 2 will be grownni living organic soil oots and 1 in the nft tanks fed on Megacrop. Not much to look at yet but the FFT9 has took off and been topped with a fimming. She is starting to look trainable now so will be bent soon. The other 2 will be a little longer wait but all in good time. Fingers crossed for some fruity fun .

420Fastbuds FBT2309/Week5 What up grow fam. Sorry for the late weekly update but was having some technical difficulties. This week has been eventful to say the least. My heater went out letting my Temps drop to high 40'f for a night or two and wow did the plants tell me they're angry. Definitely starting to bounce back but just goes to show the reselants of Fastbuds genetics. I lollipoped and did one more defoliation this week so hopefully flower stage will be smooth sailing. All in all Happy Growing

She gets bushy quick, led me to tying down some branches, caused me to snap a branch. I tied it back with a good fit and 2 days in its still alive, going to monitor and prune it off if necessary...just starting to get open amd see some decent growth but might have to up the nitrogen

I've been defoliating slowly trying to keep them small due to a house inspection coming up. Once that's out the way I'll put them in bigger pots then switch to flower. They all outgrew the mutated start and are looking good.

9/19 tied up some of the drooping branches on the bottom that have fallen from their own mass/weight. Shes been smelling so so awesome this whole time. Each day more frost, resin and trichomes cover the buds 9/22 looked at trichomes through magnifier. They're magnificently long with big heads. Not very many amber heads though. Like maybe 30% clear, 60% cloudy and 10% amber. Thats just a rough guesstimate, I may change that ratio later

I’ll be reducing each nutrient by 0.5ml from last weeks total, as there’s nute burn on most leaf Tips. The funky aroma coming from this girl this evening is just amazing, her layers are sweet and gassy. There’s almost like a sickly rubber smell to her . She’s got it going on. Wow!

What up family, weekly update on these girls. I raides the lights 6in this week to allow some stretch but still keeping 400-600ppfd at the canopy level. Over all they're progressing beautifully. I started adding 2.5ml/gal of Athenas Blended line Grow A & B. Haven't seen any burnt leaf tips so I think they'll be OK adding a little boost. All in all Happy Growing.

Der Wetterbericht sagte niedrige Temperaturen um nur noch 5° C. Tagestemperatur voraus mit täglichem Dauernebel, deshalb entschied ich mich für die Ernte. Die Lady in der Growbox hatte sich noch im Folienzelt Schimmel in einer Blattachsel eingefangen, der gesamte Zweig war am vertrocknen, deshalb wurde sie auch geerntet. Outdoor Growing ist und bleibt ein "run with mother nature across seasons", wir können nicht alle Faktoren bestimmen. Das ist ein Nachteil aber auch eine Herausforderung, die ich jedes Jahr gerne annehme, seien es Tomaten, Paprika, Artischocken oder Borlotti-Bohnen im Freiland. Die erzielten Ergebnisse kann ich nun bis zur nächsten Saison geniessen. Nach der Saison ist allerdings vor der Saison, viel Saatgut ist angefallen ud neue Sorten müssen ausgewählt werden. Danke, dass ihr dieses Diary begleitet habt! --- The weather forecast predicted low temperatures of only 5° C. daytime temperature with daily continuous fog, so I decided to harvest. The lady in the grow box had caught mould in a leaf axil while still in the foil tent, the entire branch was drying out, so she was also harvested. Outdoor growing is and remains a ‘run with mother nature across seasons’, we cannot determine all the factors. This is a disadvantage but also a challenge that I gladly accept every year, be it tomatoes, peppers, artichokes or borlotti beans in the open field. I can now enjoy the results until the next season. However, after the season is before the season, a lot of seeds have accumulated and new varieties have to be selected. Thank you for following this diary! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

15.4 The buds are already looking beautiful, with a deep purple—almost black—color. They’re developing incredibly fast. The fan leaves are starting to turn yellow, which is expected at this stage of flowering, but it feels a bit fast to me. It might be because they’re autos and the buds are maturing so quickly, so I’m guessing it’s just that. I’ll keep an eye on it, though. Interestingly, the buds on Plant #1 are developing differently from Plant #2—they have a much wider structure. The buds on #2 are already looking absolutely stunning imo.

Grüßt euch Freunde! Wir sind nun am Ende der 4. Woche. Einige Blätter verfärben sich Lila. Habe in dieser Woche nicht viel getan, außer Wasser und Dünger zu geben. Die PPOG entwickelt in der 4 Woche wirklich heftig Resin. Sie sieht wirklich frosty aus, gefällt mir !☺️ Mir ist nun aufgefallen, dass die unteren Blätter alle die Spitzen nach unten neigen. Man nennt das auch ‚Adlerkrallen‘ und ist auf einen Stickstoff Überschuss zurückzuführen. Habe durch die Verfärbung der Blätter auf einen Mangel geschlossen, war vielleicht nicht die beste Idee mehr Bio Grow zuzuführen😂 Werde im laufe der 5 Woche keinen Bio Grow mehr verwenden und beobachten wie sich das entwickelt. Euch allen eine gute Woche !💚

A couple of days ago I got home and a sublime smell of coffee pervaded the area. Smell it smells you I came to understand what was good when I started the flush of our wonderful Auto test #1. The colors have come out forcefully both in the hair and the leaves have taken on a fantastic color, the maturation at the top is practically finished at the bottom something is missing, the plant still drinks a lot and we are flushing as if there were no tomorrow. We don't know what this beauty is GHSC mouths are rightly kitchens because it will be out very soon we are sure of one thing, a smell of coffee that makes me tear my underwear, wonderful. Auto test #2 is a week late but because I planted her quite later, she has now started to apply color but she has been throwing resin everywhere for a while, she too will be scary. There is a lot of good seed bank but only one is of the King. https://greenhouseseeds.nl/ Love this Farm! https://www.mars-hydro.com/

Decent little stacks starting to form. Awesome aroma. Good frost production. At this point I was falling in love with the strain just due to its propensity to be grown under less than epic conditions. They took to the scrog nicely, despite the looseness of the trellis.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong with my autoflowers but regular plant looks and smells fine. Also 2 cols with mutations looks fine, really glad for it😇
