Hi Gromie's Welcome to my Experimental & tent filler grow. 2 Orange sherbet FF FASTBUD CLONES that were left over when transplanting my current other FF FASTBUD clones into final 15 ltr pots. Originally had 4 left over however due to my mistreatment & lazyness at the time, only feeding/watering every 3 to 4 days, which caused slowed growth, the other 2 died & these 2 were brought back from the brink of death! Picture of them in white container next to current flower run. Transplanted from small pots into net pots, plant#1 had 1 small root protruding from pot, #2 had 1 little main root not even growing out of pot! Put them into 15 ltr Dwc pots running 2 airlines & stones per plant to give plenty of oxygen & help combat any root issues & quick growth. Hot temps as it's summer rising the same temps as environment inside tent. Have been placing frozen water bottles into pots to reduce temps. Add 2 frozen bottles per pot, reduced temps right down to around 17°c. Change bottles out twice a day. Temps slowly rise over extended period until ice melts. Experimenting with different training methods, lst ,hst Mainly super croping. Have been Hst bending, pinching stems & roughing them up.which causes the stems to grow stronger, repairing themselves along the way as well as the hst bending, I also go around & pinch/ squash the stems every few inches which really strengthens the stems & branches! In fact I've done no tying down! I've managed to create a flat table top canopy with out tying down to hold shape. Super crop them over, they grow strong stems & hold that shape, as they grow out they always start to grow back up towards the light & I continue the process of bending, pinching & damaging stems so they grow strong & hold shape by them selves. Going well & it doesn't seem to slow them down much at all, given I grow perpetually using separate veg & Flower tents makes it impossible to train through scrog net in veg! Trying to train an established plant through a scrog can be difficult & easy to damage or break branches . However I like the benefits off scrogging so looked at a way to make it easier to scrog already veged plants. This is the training methods I've come up with, taking & incorporating established training methods of various soughts to create plants with flat table top canopy. That way when moved to flower tent I can just lower scrog net over the top of plants to hold them in that shape & train through the net as they go through flowering stretch, making it a lot easier! I've come up with a name for it & I'm calling it the pre scrog ! Method of training. In fact it seems to be going so good that the plan is to see if I can scrog them without a scrog net as they are holding that table top canopy shape & have super strong stems that are solid as a rock, can't squeeze or pinch repaired stems, they are super strong, holding shape & should be able to support the weight of the buds, lower growth already lolliepoped as I don't see the point growing that lower growth out just to lolliepop it & remove it once in flower. It's similar to why I grow relatively short plants when scrogging. I see some growers growing 2 to 4 foot plants which take longer to veg only to lolliepop & remove bottom half to 3/4 of the growth, so you end up with 2 foot of bare lolliepoped stems & branches under canopy? Each to their own/I guess. I grow mine around a foot before putting into flower so there's between 20 to 30 cm of lolliepoped stems under the canopy & a foot or 2 trained through scrog net & above .

Feedining 5ml tiger blood and 2.5 ml of grow big per gallon ever since pistols have appeared. This plant is taking on my lsd-25 which was the biggest for the longest but is now competing against this blackberry which was the runt of the liter.

5/10-Last week went well. She is still growing like crazy! The clones are growing super fast also. I can't imagine what it will do once put into the ground. It's a super drinker and is a very vigorous grower. It takes all forms of training with ease such as topping, lst and supercropping. Hope it's a colorful plant so it will look nice when done. Will be going outside in the next 2-3 weeks from today. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

day 32🌱 things are going very well 👊the girls are in shape I made a change of solution👽 and I am very happy👨‍🌾 with what I see. I'm perfectly in the middle of the flowering🌻 period if things go this way I expect a great harvest💚🔝💪 Day 33 I had to open the tent for a check during the hours of darkness (suspicious noise) I took the opportunity to take some photos that without HPS and much better .... 🌻😍💚

Final week! I am starting the flush process at week 8 so going to do quarter nuts for 2days then half then 1/3 and then finish with 2-3 days water Tricombs where about 75% milk rest where clear maybe a few random turning amber She really must have put on weigh this last week because she is sagging hard now!

🍀13/06 - Empieza su tercera semana en etapa de floración. 🍀Se encuentra muy saludable y fuerte, hasta el momento no tuve ningún problema con ella. 🍀Ya los cogollos se pueden ver perfecto y hasta los tricomas. 🍀Esta semana solamente le puse Top bloom y Top candy. 🍀Cumple 69 días de vida en total desde su germinacion. 🍀En estos dias seguire subiendo mas imagenes. 🇦🇷😶‍🌫️🍀Podes seguirme en Insta gram como @bruweed_arg 🇦🇷😶‍🌫️🍀

This strain was a lot of fun to grow, Training was easy, it responded well and rolled with the punches, She was CalMag hungry as that as my only noted deficiency. She was chopped at day 69, would have been 70 but I had mothers day plans with the Ol' lady. The wet weight is everything but the bigger fan leaves (larf galore) I had so much trim. I love the smell I loved growing it, but I do not like how airy the buds turned out, I use quality LEDs and have a white widow in another journal that grew along side it under the same conditions, even the same trainings to the point where there structured extremely similarly, and the White Widow is ROCK SOLID. BUT with that being said, the trichome production was very nice, the sugar leaves will leave me with a lot of hash (half the buds were considered larf but were so sticky and covered in trichomes) and the smell is very sweet, berries and a hint of lemonaid and must. Keep in mind this is a taste after just a couple days of drying a sample bud and no cure. Overall its definitely smokable ill probably give some out but I would rather keep the airy stuff for me to smoke/process because I love it all. I am currently taking the week as a T-break so I can give everyone here a proper smoke report, including myself. Dry bud weight is only 51g BUT all the trim did get me a couple of grams, probably 3 of some incredible hash, The Hash taste like blueberry pie and a glass of lemonaid, the flower is similar but with a bit of a musky punch, the high hit me straight in the head and had me laughing at myself for getting so stoned, literally all i wanted was that pie and lemonaid that's all that I had on my mind. after a bit it mellowed out into a nice relaxing sativa feel, I wasn't nearly as full of energy but I was by no means tired either.

Eccoci qua all ultima settimana di vegetativa di questa bestia! Penso che le piante crescano davvero meglio con questi casi antispiralizzazione, prima pensavo fossero dicerie, ma sto sperimentando che le ragazze crescono molto di più rispetto rispetto alle sorelle nei vasi normali, questa ad esempio è germinata 10 giorno Circa dopo le sorelle, e sta rapidamente raggiungendo le stesse dimensioni! Anche la sour Apple di anesia ho dovuto spostarla e portarla in fioritura una settimana prima di queste, xke stava diventando troppo grande, ora è a 80 cm di altezza rendetevi conto! Al prossimo giro tutte le mie ragazze avranno un nuovo vestito, ovvero il vaso antispiralizzazione che permette alle radici di avere un accesso maggiore all ossigeno, e ci sono maggiori cicli asciutto/bagnato significa che la pianta respira e cresce meglio, raddoppia la velocità di fotosintesi secondo me! Merito anche dei nutrienti di Terra Aquatica naturalmente sono orgoglioso di fare parte della loro famiglia e utilizzare i loro nutrienti famosi ed orgoglio in tutto il mondo! Un buon 420 a tutti alla prossima settimana 💪😸

Curing 1 and half plants and froze the other 1 and a half for hash later. Can't wait to try!

Loooking Great!!! The first leaves are a liiitle bit fd up but the new ones look perfectly fine.. End Week 12 im HYPED!! Really like the way she grows. letss see how she does in flower.

Love the smell and its sticky. love to test in 3 weeks

It should be noted that with the current share of blue in the spectrum, the sprout does not stretch at all, I will probably adjust in favor of red in the coming days

These plants are getting bigger and bigger, i really like the shape of them, they look vigorous, at the moment great strain, still need to see the buds but its looking good 👍

114 Days left as of 11/6. Disclaimer: 56 days left to veg. Which ever plant is 3 ft or taller in 56 days will be flipped. In 1 week, I will be transplanting into 3 gallon containers that leaves 49 days. When there are 2 weeks left, I choose which ones go into the 5 gallon containers for flowering. After the transplant recovery, I do heavy defoliation and lollipopping. Wait 1 week to recover, and flip time…..Which just so happens to be: New Years!!! This week ( and past few days) has been on target. I am seeing growth everyday I open the tent. I don’t know why, but the first 2 weeks of my grows move super slow. Then in week 3-4, it’s like a rocket ship. 11-11 (51 days left) - kicking some ass now. 2 of the RuntZ might make it, the Hulk-Berry is def going to make it pretty close to 3 ft tall. Hulkberry has 21 days to be transplanted, RuntZ will be transplanted in 14 days.

Feeling pretty good about the grow so far if anyone thinks I should something to improve the grow let me know but I think I got under control and will continue with the feeding schedule my gsc is lookin pretty bad tho!

Week 12 looks girl #1 is coming to a end. I haven’t over fed or over watered and she’s starting to get yellow leaves. I feed her one more time at the end of this week. Starting week 13 I’m going to start to flush her. Her smell has gotten more intense this week also. She smells like sweet tropical citrus. Also she looks to be filling in more and her buds are starting to get a little dense. She definitely exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t have predicted from veg she would be this size. Girl#2 unfortunately never started flower and she’s going get 12-12 after I harvest girl #1. I’ll start another diary for girl #2 when that time comes. I knew she would be long winded but this is just extreme 😂. I know you experienced growers know this story very well, but for a rookie like me 😆 I’m pulling my hair out and punching the air with frustration 👊🤬🤯😁. This for me is a learning experience and I love the duality of this grow. I’ll know better next time I run into this time of issue. Thank you for viewing my diary. I will be looking to possibly harvesting this girl in the next few weeks or sooner,

She is doing better now with the Nitrogen she looks much better but she is a heavy Nitrogen feeder. And the Plagron Start Up is doing really good its like steroids for ht eplant. Next week monday I will start to flip the switch to 12/12.
