This has been one of the easiest grows I had so far. The feeding was the key. Amending with a ‘Grow’ amendment(rich in Nitrogen) and supplement with Bloom liquid nutrients. Watering as often as possible and using RO water. Even though I had a pest invasion the girls did great.

05/15/2020 Harvest day is here! Total of 187grams! I was surprised, very happy with my results perfect first time plant no worries use a good potting soil and add water. Next time I will try and push her maybe break 200 grams! Smelling very grapfruity trimming should be easy. More on taste and effects once dried and cure are done. 06/05/2020 13 week bud is great, stronger than I thought it would be. Taste is GREAT! I can't wait to see how the 15 week harvest is I'am very happy with my results i plan to finish this report in two weeks with final report and final dry weight.🙏 06/10/2020 Four weeks in jar and still not quite dry will air out some overnight. Smell of citrusy goodness, will try dried buds in the am. 06/11/2020 am smoke very nice comes on in 5-10 min., And steady high for 2 solid hours mellowing out after 2 hours easy come down great smoke cant wait until they are cured completely!👍 great work Fast Buds I will grow again!👍 The rest back in jar for a slower cure. 08/09/2020 3 months and still smoking her,love the taste and effects!

Buds could be bigger but I’m not complaining, their doing great on my add back method. Starting to stack and plump up now.

This will be the last week for this girl , she has stopped feeding now and is in her second week of flush , She is looking too be finnished this week and looking and smelling amazing , Update , 80% pistels are lovely and golden , the tricombs are not quite ready so I would say just a few more days too go then chop chop

Hey Team! What can I say, my first time grow is coming along smooth. 🍃🍃 🍃 D-Boogie coming along smooth y’all. I think My tangerine dream is getting ready to flower soon. Going to carry out the veg-state as long as I can. I’m not sure how much water to give them but I’m sticking my gallon a week to keep it safe. Looking forward to next week!

The big sister.... Just way more mature. She has pre flowers.... so soon.....The biggest of the 3. She is starting to branch. Need to transplant this week. Greenhouse is ready.

This has been another awesome week. She has been doing extremely well. Her recovery time from her first topping, to the point where I could top her again, was almost 2 weeks to the nose. So we have topped her a 2nd time this week. She is now at 4 nodes. I am expecting/hoping to be topping her again for the final time in another 2 weeks. From there, Its Veg time, A Lolli popping, And then Flower Flower Flower. This week she will also be moving into a bigger tent. My bloom tent is currently empty, so I am going to move her over early, get a little more light, and be ready for flower. This also allows me to use the veg tent for my other fresh started grow. Don't worry, I have just installed a camera into the bloom tent, so we will continue with the time lapse videos as best as possible. Some adjustments may be needed as Cotton Grows, but I have already thought ahead and "should" be ready. Notice the "'s around should.

For my first ever harvest to finish. I am proud got 59.85gs for an autoflower and no prior experience I am pleased. I learned alot and want a better finished yield for the future but pleased with this girl an her turn out.

She's looking super healthy,unfortunately I couldn't plant her earlier,but she's a strain that I like cery much and I will grow her again for sure!,let's see how big she gets before flowering starts now that we're in July already.

04/13/25: The plants have now fully adjusted to their new environment, and all five are looking vibrant and happy. Leaf posture is strong, color is rich, and the canopy is filling in nicely. They’re handling the training and topping well, showing no signs of stress, and overall growth has remained consistent. While inspecting them before today’s round of training, I noticed what appear to be early signs of male pre-flowers on PP1 and PP4. It’s still too early to be certain, but it’s looking like I may already be down to three possible females. I’ll be keeping a close eye on them over the next week—things should become much more clear soon. Today I topped all five plants again—this time at the first node of each of the four main branches created from the last topping. This will help build out a broader, more evenly structured canopy. I also used plant ties to gently pull down each of the branches to open up light penetration across the plant. In addition to branch training, I used ties to lightly hold back some of the larger fan leaves on the lower two branches to help expose new growth sites. I’ll leave those fan leaves on for another 3 to 4 days as the new tops develop, then remove them to redirect energy upward and continue opening the structure. They were also watered today with a light nutrient mix, similar to last week’s. The plants still look very nutrient-rich, so there was no need to push the EC any higher just yet. Based on the current rate of uptake, I expect they’ll be ready for another watering in about 3 to 4 days. If anything noteworthy comes up—especially regarding sexing—I’ll update sooner. Otherwise, I’ll be back in a few days to document a light defoliation and any continued developments.

Was another pretty good week in the books both in and out of the tent. More and more branches are being weighted down by colas, and had to be tied up. UKBS 1 continues to frost up like a winter morning. I'm doing my best to keep airflow moving in the tent, mainly in and around UKBS 1 as it's the denser of the two. Carl 1 was having a little bit of an issue but I believe it's been mostly resolved as of now as I've given it a pure watering in between the latest feedings. Outside (inside, most of the time. haha) The plants are doing quite well, save for the high winds that magically spring up whenever they go outside. At this point I'm basically forced to purchase a greenhouse or something of that sort so they don't blow away completely. Timelapse is out for the week, as per usual. EOS Rebel T5 shots will probably come tomorrow or the next day. -6/18/2021 - Keep fuckin' up the watering schedule. Carl 1 is not pleased. These kinds of whoopsies shouldn't be happening in flower, especially not this late. Gotta get on top of things. - In other news, took some shots with the EOS Rebel T5. Hope you'll enjoy. -6/23/2021 - Built a greenhouse kinda thing. Should keep the wind off the plants well enough while allowing a wee bit for airflow. Hoping all goes well.

Pulled the second cherry Cola today and it looks and smells just like heaven , some nice pinks , purples and greens . Plants look to be around 12 oz together but we’ll see how they dry .

On day 1 week 4 flower the girls are bulking up smelling great and some pistils are turning orange. The trichomes are still mostly clear with some milky trichomes starting. On day 3 one of my blumats had a runaway I believe from fertilizer sediment all I can do this late in the game is to lower the flow rate and hope that will solve the problem. It is strange that this is the same blumat that flooded when I went on vacation earlier on in the grow. I will inspect the blumat closer when I finish the grow. I tightened the carrot down 1.5 carrots. Except for the minor flood the girls are doing very well, even though they are too close to my grow lights :). On day 6 almost all the buds are starting to have a second growth spurt with some small white pistils showing, the trichome concentration is visibly growing and I expect to harvest the girls between week 8 and 9 of flower.

Day 71👋🌱 I started flushing some days befor. I think I’ve got 20 days left but this lady eat a lot of feeding this last weeks so I give some more flushing. Buds looks full of all What they needs also if now they need to get fat and fat. :) let’s see what’s happen. Giving ph controlled water at 6.2/6.5, I check TDS to water owerflowing from pot, bringing it to 50ppm from 400. Now I’ll start checking trichomes every three days, I’d like a 60% white and 40% amber Day 72👋🌱🌱 Hi all growers, how is going? 😊 I'm at my first real flush for this Orange, i gave 10 lt of ph controled water and was checking ppm from water coming out. i gave water unitl it reach 400 ppm, my water is 200 ppm, i hope i'll bring it to 50 ppm for next flush in 3 days. i think bud are going to bloom nice this last days befgore harvest, i can feel it :D Day 74👋🌱🌱🌱🌱 Soil is already quiet dry, smell is increasing rapidly. Today I’ll give another e 1 lt of water and Sunday I’ll do another flush. I think will go up to 90 days. Bud will get fatter and fatter🏆. Maybe I could have fertilise two times more, but anyway I’d not a big problem, I’ve been feeding them a lot since the beginning so a more long flush won’t be a problem at all. Can’t wait to the harvest. Day 77 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 Just posting some trichome pictures, waiting to some changement before publishing some new pic of the lady. Keep washing it with ph controleed water that looks always cleaner, i think i'll be cutting the most high bud some days before the rest of the plant. Can't wait anymore Let’se go! ❤️🌱 Any suggestion is really welcome :)😋🌱🌱

Hey ZAMNESIA has sent some more seeds to rock under the new lights X2 Vipraspectra lights 200watt total 400 watts These new lights (LEDS) where sent by Vipraspectra to upgrade me to newer LED lights with the sunlike full spectrum lights , the room is brighter no doubt and the spectrum of light outperformed the HPS running at 400watt the same running power as both LEDs . As you can see I'm already a fan of this light and I haven't even been running it under plants yet I've just had it on to see what the running temps where of the room and at 19oc does a pretty good job at keeping stable temps . I do plan on adding another P2000 in for flower The leds themselves run with 3000k 5000k warm white and cool white IR AND DEEP RED giving of a full spectrum of light , running there pretty bright and a recommended hanging height of 20inch , I've hung the lights at 5foot with the hps also and will not move my hanging height instead I'll start from 100% light and increase towards flower the amount of leds. These lights arent over expensive considering there dimmable with a great functioning dimmer switch, also I notice there built quality is superior in this category of lights and price, there solid heat sink is amazing giving the light a solid build finish the driver is mounted on the top but raised away from the board to maintain better heat dissipation from the driver and board . Approx 6 foot cable hanging rope also include with a very well thought out hanging kit .the only thing I think was a downside is having no stickers I'd love to see these light come with logos corresponding to the size of the light , 2x2 = 2foot sticker would be amazing 😉 If your interested USE CODE : IGROWNEIL at checkout an get 5% off and also help this channel There's also the link to join and become an affiliate https://partners.viparspectra.com/create-account?ref=jursrsaof8 Back to the seeds these girls where the frist to pop above ground on my last . I didn't get out of the frist week and the timer failed so ZAMNESIA quite happily sent the same batch of seeds to start again with which is pretty class of them , big thank you These genicitis are top class 👏 I'm glad to be running them again as I do love gorilla glue they also have sent Runtz and GSC which in themselves are another couple of great strains with amazing genetic potential locked up in there seeds 😀 Started on 14-11-21 , I was planning on using hps along with this run but instead I'm gonna aquire a xs4000 from viparspectra 480watt and have the two p2000 hung at either end leaving us with 880watt LED grow ( will be insane) The seeds are all off to a great start but I'll always have great exceptions for this strains. The last time all 3 gorilla glue where frist above the soil , nows there a wide selection of strains growing and will be multiple plants also I ended up dropping 20 seeds I total 3 of them being the GLUE

Week 3: Mars Hydro TS3000 light came in and installed at 12 inches from tops. Ran at 100% light for a few hours, however, temp was an issue. Temp was at 83. Posted in FB group, suggestions were to turn lights down and raise it up. Raised lights to 24 inches from top and built vent box to use AC for cooling. Filled a pot with FFO to test our water. Watered with 1 gallon of water. Test the runoff and it had a PH of 5.9. Seeing how long it takes to dry out in tent. Fox Farm Nutes arrived Soil Test - check moisture level at 1 inch from bottom registered at a 4. Watered plants with Fox Farm Nutes, Week 1. Gave all GSC's 3/4 Gallon and the Delite got 1/2 Gallon. Lots of runoff, removed from reservoir after 30 minutes. Forgot to add the PH Up and Cal-Mag. Runoff PH tested at 5.5.

Rotated the plants 180° to separate some buds on the other side. Last defoil and waiting... Some early harvest.

Today put in new light for replace the niello 300w with a mars hydro ts1000 2022 version
