Hello 👋 🤗 Ripening word-forming element meaning "beyond" (ultraviolet) or "extremely" (ultramodern), from Latin ultra- from ultra (adv. and prep.) "beyond, on the other side, on the farther side, past, over, across," from PIE *ol-tero-, suffixed form of root *al- "beyond." In common use from early 19c., it appears to have arisen from French political designations. As its own word, a noun meaning "extremist" of various stripes, it was first recorded in 1817, from French ultra, shortening of ultra-royaliste "extreme royalist." There’s no specific formula for boiling the roots. It’s just boiling the roots, nothing out of the ordinary. Here’s a simple step-by-step process to boil cannabis roots during harvest for utmost potency; Step 1: Detach the roots from the substrate without spoiling them. Some will break from the root ball but retain as many roots as possible. Note that the technique is only helpful when you leave the roots attached to the plants when you boil them. Step 2: Soak the roots into boiled water for about 45 seconds. The water should be hot, bubbling hot, if you may. Step 3. Hang dry the plants while still attached to the roots and let them dry until you can cure them From here we ensure consistency, 60F/60RH with strict measures to ensure little fluctuations. for the next 4-7 days. (edit: Took 9 days)

the waterworks come covered in some olie residue and i only did a few rinses. I think it kept the ph high for some time and i did a few more water cycles after complete setup. Everytime getting rit of more oil film. I like the bucketd rinsed the leca pepples in high ph tap water and again it took me some time to get ph down but this time no oil residue :) After a few days i felt i got ph under control so started the canna nutes schedule.

The grow is going on well,doubled the bloom nuts , plants have a different but nice smell of skunk and wild berries. The tall one is growing crazy in the cell, i want to harvest first the highest one branches, to let the lowest grow round the cell for a higher yield. I had to train a lot the plant, because the autoflower was getting too tall about 120cm, so i tied it up around the cell doing scrog a like.

I’m really just updating with photo dumps at this point lol but this white widow is proving to be f*cking massive and these buds are looking like they’re going to STACK!!! I defoliate here and there lightly and open the canopy to get some light further down. She fills a 2x2 out completely! My next run will consist of a few of these for sure!! Should be a great harvest!!

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

[DAY 64] - 3/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.7 - PH 6; started with EC 1.7 and after 24 hours EC is 1.95; - 73 cm height; - LST on 4 branches to open the canopy; - Removed some damaged leaves; - Added new PH down: CANNA PH DOWN BLOOM (instead PH DOWN by GHE). I prefer GHE, it seemed more effective; - Let's see what happen this week, I want to see big flower by the end of this week; next one I'll add Bloombastic again; - A lot of leaves with yellowed tips, I hope it is not suffering excessively the temperatures. [DAY 65] - 4/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 50%; - EC 2 - PH 6; tomorrow I add lighter solution to keep EC to 1.7; - In the last couple days I noticed plant drank less than usual, the half. I guess it was very stressed due defoliation, but seems to be recovering well. - Today I did bit defoliation and in the coming days I let the plant rests, then we'll see if another defoliation is still needed. I don't want to exaggerate. [DAY 66] - 5/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - EC 1.7- PH 6; tomorrow I add lighter solution to keep EC to 1.6; - Did a growquestion about some brown spots on some leaves: https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/49286-brown-spots-on-some-leaves. [DAY 67] - 6/8/2022 - Lamp as yesterday; - TEMP. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - Plant is having problems. It is drinking little and I believe it drinks very few nutrients. For this reason I did a DWC change and added a lighter solution (EC 1). Despite this, the EC is continuing to rise. I hope it recovers soon! If tomorrow it continues to rise, I try to further dilute the solution. - Added a new better quality video. [DAY 68] - 7/8/2022 - Lamp as usual; - Temp. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - EC still rising, that's the reason why I added 2 l. demineralized water to bring EC to 1.1; - Solution in DWC at the moment has this composition: Silicate 0.25 g/l - Calmag: 0.25 ml/l - A: 0.8 ml/l - B: 1.6 ml/l up to EC 0.94 - Bloom stim. 0.5 ml/l and Bloombastic up to EC 1.05. [DAY 69] - 8/8/2022 - Lamp as usual; - Temp. 32° - RH 50%; - EC 1.2, almost blocked all day long. Added 2 l. dem. water to lower EC a little bit; - I guess plant is drinking about 2 l. of solution / day, good! [DAY 70] - 9/8/2022 - Lamp as usual, I'm planning to lower it near the tallest bud (from 20 cm to 15 cm) to reach better the lower bud sites - Temp. 30° - RH 50%; - Last day of this week, some problems last days.

Day 15 - wow, this plant is growing better than ever! a. this plant is growing at the rate of my last Pineapple Express Auto by Fastbuds b. the indica traits though, are really nice with the wide leaves c. humidity has been a little lower than I want, but we have had some impressive rain to compensate Day 16 - more growth, many many roots in the pool a. there are about 3 good root clusters into the pool, they are making nice ladder roots b. the DWC is running well, with temps almost 30 outside, the DWC is staying 22, ph 5.8, 440 ppm. c. installed the CO2 generator, a Banana Bomber, 1KG sugar, 3 tsp yeast, 2 mashed up bananas, 5L warm water. Day 17 - she is growing a. the CO2 generator is generating CO2 already, this time I ground up the bananas like baby food. b. adjusted the ventilation a little to maintain 27-28 degrees in the tent Day 18 - growing well a. i have to keep reminding myself that just 18 days ago this was a dry seed in a packet. b. many roots in the pool, there are a few very large roots about to bust through the netpot Day 19 - growing well a. smooth and steady growth, temperatures in tent are 28 in the day, and around 23 in its 4hrs of darkness, humidity is always 60+, and we are getting alot of rain to help with that. b. noticing growth all over, this plant is growing a bit different than my others, it seems that in the past ive had mostly sativa leaning auto hybrids. Day 20 - many BIG roots hitting the pool a. there are about 25 huge root tips hitting the pool right now, there are already about 10 root clusters in there, but these roots are much thicker b. like the breeder says, week 3 this will take off, totally accurate Day 21 - growth everywhere a. the stem is becoming much thicker, the symmetry of the plant is beautiful, really liking the wide leaves b. next week she will take off like a rocket c. the CO2 bomber, as usual, is generating CO2 very well

420Fastbuds-Week 6 Gelato Auto What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 3 beautiful 😍 ladies. They got moved over to the flower tent this week. Temperatures have gone up tremendously since it seems summer weather has finally got here. Over all they seem to be handling it, OK. Showing some heat stress but I think it's just an adjustment period. I'll most likely do a defoliation this week thinning it out to allow more air flow. All in all Happy Growing

Week 6 of flower about another 2 to 3 weeks to go . Buds are forming Nicely but I’ve been a little heavy on the nutrients so I’m trying to remedy that .
