3rd week in and just transplanted my 6 girls! All spitting white pistols! Can’t wait to see what these girls turn out like! They are pumping along and am very happy with growth rate and health!using fabric pots as I like the soil to be able to get air! Using 1 litre of perlite to 25 litre premium potting soil! The potting soil itself is very coarse aswell to allow for good drainage! I fertilised the last 2 weeks and willl continue! Another 3 weeks under the fc 6500 by mars hydro then flip to flower! Will keep posted! My first grow using the newest LEDs instead of the old hps. Happy as people thanku

WEEK 5 8/16- Alrighty! Start of week five and all the ladies are in flower and starting to look sexy as hell! Even the Crystal Meth #2 in the SOHUM Living Soil that had a soil ph of 5.2-5.4 and 4.2 ph runoff on a 4 1/2 gallon flush of 7.7 ph water is doing well! I checked the ph on her soil this morning and she's at 6.4...PERFECT! I gave all the girls a drink of de-chlorinated water in the amount of 2 1/2g with 1 tsp CalMag+ added and ph'd to 6.9 split evenly between them. 8/17- Day 30- The girls are all really growing like crazy filling out their 10g fabric pots. I went through all of them today and, using the green horticultural wire LST'd the crap out of everyone! I know, I know....LST on Day 30??? I've LST'd this late before and had really good results so giving it a go this run. Gave all the girls a small drink as they were moist 2" down using 2 1/2g de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 75 deg. After I LST'd all the girls, I selectively tucked shade leaves and defoliated a couple here and there and also removed all the shitty little undergrowth down low on the main stalks. Can't believe the FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 came back from the edge of oblivion. I checked her medium(SOHUM Living Soil) ph which is still @ 6.4...whew! I think she's gonna do just fine, although not as good as her sister who's an obviously different phenotype. 8/18- Cranked up the HLG 650R's to max today. Now drawing 1300w at the wall-650w each and raised both lights to 42" high which is giving 800-1100 umols depending on what place on the canopy you check. 8/19- I administered the second dose of live Nematode's with the girls morning watering. I put the Nematodes in 2 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 @ 74 deg. and split it evenly between all eight pots. I tightened up the LST on all the girls to keep spreading them out and getting better light penetration into the lower canopy. 8/20- I started a batch of Compost Tea this morning- 4 cups worm castings, 1 cup of Alfalfa Meal, 1 cup Kelp Meal, 2 tbsp Bat Guano into 4 1/2 gallons of de-chlorinated water with a 6.9ph in which I added 5 tbsp of unsulphured molasses as a catalyst for the microbes. I'll brew this for 48 hours. The ladies all were moist enough that I felt safe skipping the water for today, I'll give them a light watering tomorrow, then a heavy feed with the compost tea. I went through and tucked the heck out of leaves blocking bud sites from light (this is a chore as the girls are getting BUSHY as hell!) and removed a few scattered fan leaves that refused to be tucked and were really blocking light into the lower canopy....can't be having that, need the LIGHT! 8/21- Ladies were all looking very perky this morning and the FastBuds Crystal Meth and Purple Lemonade are both getting beautiful purple shades to them especially the FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate, she's absolutely on FIRE although her node spacing is very wide. The #2 Crystal Meth in SOHUM that had the ph issue with her medium seems to have recovered after I flushed the shit out of her. She's behind her sister and definitely has a different structure than the #1 phenotype. The Purple Lemonade #1 & #2 are both flowering with #2 looking way better. The #1 Purple Lemonade has some thick kushy leaves and she's a short little biatch, in contrast to the #2 which is tall and lanky with wider node spacing. The #2 Purple Lemonade is having a little issue apparently with the nitrogen level in the medium as she's getting 'claw tips' on several of her leaves and judging by her dark green coloration, she's nitrogen rich right now. I'll keep an eye on her but don't think it's a big issue at this moment in time. The Seedsman Gelato OG in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate is getting bushy and has filled out the 10 gallon fabric pot. She's got a ton of bud sites and it's a struggle training to keep all the sites exposed to light. The #2 Gelato OG in SOHUM is doing about the same as her sister but she's not quite as tall. The Seedsman Zkittles #1 slowed down on her stretch and just decided to get bushy instead! She's still in pre-flower but is very healthy and will be getting it on very soon! Her 'Sin Twisters' Zkittles #2 & #3 are beautiful and in flower. The Zkittles 'twins' were previously the shortest plants in this run but have caught up and are as tall as the Zkittles #1 @ 14". 8/22- End of Week 4! The girls got Compost Tea ( 8.1 ph, 840 ppm and 1636 EC @ 78 deg.) for breakfast this morning along with a top dress on the six ladies growing in Natures Living Soil Autoflower Concentrate / Fox Farms Happy Frog mix. The two SOHUM pots with the Seedsman Gelato OG #2 and FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 got 4 tbsp of 2-8-4 slow release dry amendments by Down To Earth top dressed and worked in by hand. I gave them each 1/2 gallon of Compost Tea after top dressing to help water in the nutrients. I went through all the girls and tucked and gently spread their branches to continue to train them as they get ready to really start flowering. The FastBuds girls are getting MORE colorful each and every day and I can't wait to open the tent each morning to see them....BEAUTIFUL!!!

Bienvenidos de nuevo! Esta semana he seguido regando con agua hasta el corte, no he dejado que las hojas se pongan más amarillas porque los tricomas habían llegado al punto de madurez que más me gusta. Se nota que cyco tiene productos muy buenos por el simple echo de que después de dos semanas de agua siguen bastante verdes. Actualizo la semana como semana de floracion simplemente porque no tomo pesos en húmedo, después de un par de días colgadas pasaré a manicurarlas, y para cuando seque subiré pesos. Creía que sacaría flores extrañas por el calor, o que tendría algún problema más serio a la hora de cultivar en esta época,todavía falta secarla bien, pero a simple vista creo que me acerco al peso de la anterior cosecha, ojalá. Subiré más fotos en cuanto tenga la manicura echa, un saludo!

Week 12 Update — Gorilla Zkittlez Auto (FastBuds) Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Medium: Scientetics Coco Stage: Late Flower / Ripening Status: Days from harvest ⸻ Overall Plant Status Week 12 marks the final stretch before harvest. Nutrient uptake has noticeably slowed, which is expected at this stage as the plant shifts energy away from vegetative processes and into final resin and terpene development. Trichomes are almost entirely cloudy, with harvest planned once approximately 15–20% amber is reached. Natural senescence has begun, with leaf fade becoming visible. Buds are fully formed, swollen, and resin production appears to be peaking. ⸻ Feed & Maintenance Log (Final Week) 12/6 — Late Flower Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.0 | 600 ppm • 4 ml Green Sensation • 0.5 ml Silicium Bloom • 18 ml Coco B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 6 ml Photo+ • ½ tsp Recharge Purpose at this stage: • Green Sensation: Low-dose PK and carbohydrate source to support final bud density and resin production without pushing excess nutrients. • Silicium Bloom: Maintains cell wall strength and stress resistance late into flower. • Coco B: Provides potassium-heavy nutrition to support terpene production and final swelling. • Pure Zym: Breaks down dead root matter, keeping the root zone clean as uptake slows. • Ruby Fulvic: Improves micronutrient transport and overall nutrient efficiency. • Photo+: Enhances photosynthesis efficiency during peak resin production. • Recharge: Supports microbial life to keep nutrient availability high despite reduced feeding. ⸻ 12/7 — Maintenance & Reset • Mild defoliation • Reservoir cleaned and remaining solution dumped Fresh mix: 1 gal RO | pH 6.1 | 500 ppm • 2 ml Green Sensation • 14 ml Coco B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Purpose at this stage: • Reduced EC to match slowing uptake. • Focused on potassium, enzyme activity, and nutrient mobility rather than growth. ⸻ 12/8 — Observation • Senescence becoming visible • Lower leaves beginning to fade naturally This is a healthy sign of nutrient drawdown and internal remobilization late in flower. ⸻ 12/9 — Reduced Uptake Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.2 | 366 ppm • 2 ml Green Sensation • 12 ml Coco B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Purpose at this stage: • Further reduction in nutrient strength to avoid salt buildup. • Supporting resin maturation rather than biomass growth. ⸻ 12/11 — Ripening Additives 1 gal RO | pH & ppm not measured • 10 ml Winter Frost • 5 ml Car-Bou-Naria • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Purpose at this stage: • Winter Frost: Signals the plant to finish strong by accelerating ripening, resin production, and terpene expression. • Car-Bou-Naria: Provides readily available carbohydrates to fuel final metabolic processes without adding nitrogen. • Ruby Fulvic: Maintains nutrient mobility even with minimal feeding. ⸻ 12/12 — Final Low-EC Feed 1 gal RO | pH 6.0 | 255 ppm • 10 ml Winter Frost • 5 ml Car-Bou-Naria • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 4 ml Pure Zym Purpose at this stage: • Extremely light feeding to support ripening while allowing the plant to finish clean. • Encourages full terpene and cannabinoid expression without pushing nutrients. ⸻ Harvest Outlook • Trichomes: Nearly 100% cloudy • Target harvest: 15–20% amber • Plant is in full ripening mode with minimal nutrient demand • Senescence progressing naturally This run is finishing exactly how a dialed-in coco grow should — controlled fade, clean root zone, and intentional nutrient tapering leading into harvest.

8/12 - Dropped 3 seeds into RO water to germinate 8/13 - Placed seeds into moist paper towel and into plastic bag to germinate on heat mat. 8/15 - All three seeds sprouted. In the morning I prepared three 3-gallon pots with Roots Organics Original Soil and Nature's Living Soil Autoflower mix. I will be doing Super Soil method for this grow. I filled the bottom one third of the pot with regular soil, then added 1 lb of Nature's Living soil and mixed it in. Then filled the rest of the pot with the regular soil. I topped it with Mosquito Bits for added BTI for pest prevention. Finally, I wet the pots down with RO water and Organic Black Strap Molasses. After about 8 hours, I planted the three seeds and placed them in the 4x5 tent with a humidity dome to keep in moisture. 8/16 - Two of the three already have their true leaves. So, I have removed the humidity domes from those two. 8/17 - The last of the GSCs have sprouted her true leaves so I have removed her dome. I sprayed them lightly again today with RO water and molasses.

Bueno, aquí están estas candy caramelo de Zambezaseeds, la verdad que esta genética me está gustando tienen bastante densidad y son algo chatas , los nudos están muy juntos y eso me gusta porque el cogollo compacta más a mi parecer. Sigo regulando las condiciones del ph en cada riego en 6,2 y actualmente no supera el 50% de humedad ni sube de 26 grados. Estando a finales de mayo not bad por las condiciones climáticas pensé que sería algo más complicado 🤷‍♂️. Gracias a Mars hydro y a Zambezaseeds por hacer posible estos proyectos. . Www.mars-hydro.com web: http://bit.ly/2uJAjgy ts600: http://bit.ly/3cnv0Ev code: an420 . Buenos humos fumetillas , las semanas que viene más y mejor 💪🖤.

1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 days🙏 ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more days🙏😟..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.👌 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. That's it for week 4-

Día 03 de la 4ta semana flora (25-06-2022) * En estas últimas semanas he tenido problema con el frío. Con luz encendida llegaba a 22°C en carpa aprox, y luz apagada 12-13°C y humedad relativa de 70%. * Hay una lemon que ha sido la más afectada que es la más alta * Hay una AK que soporto mejor los estrés, aunque empezó a flotar antes que todas. Una diferencia como de 2 a 3 semanas. * Para ser mi primer cultivo y tener problemas de principiante con riego y problema con el frío. Siento que puede ir peor, estoy conforme * Hoy aplique riego foliar de "Knactive". Producto anti estrés nacional Día 28 de floración (29-06-2022) * Ayer en su día 27 aplique lavado de raíces a la Lemon_1 que es la más afectada por distintos estrés a ver como se comporta, además le agrege de forma foliar Knactive al igual que regué de forma foliar la amnesia para ver como se comporta * La AK que es la más desarrollada y la veo bien, por otra parte la banana_2 se ve menos afectada al estrés y va avanzando de forma pareja a comparación de todas las otras

Bubatz is growing well, she is now starting to make pre-flowers, i can see some small pistels coming up..(i have given her 'flower'nutes yesterday) But weather is still very unstable and now she is standing in their safehouse, to stay dry and comfy.. weather is gonna get better end of this week, they say, lets just hope for some sunshine now and then... 😇 But as you can see, she grows strong and doesnt seem to care Its feels so nice in the safehouse when it rains.. 😎👌 i just want to 'set up shop' there when i visit them.. oh wait a moment!! I already have !!...😜👍 happy growing for all✊ *** KISS! Growtechnique: KeepItSimple, Stupid! PS i also sprayed her with a mix of neemoil (8ml) , detergent(2'squeezes) and luke warm water. last week.bc there are a lot of parasites running/flying/crawling around..

One of the plants grew massive! However the smoke wasn’t the best until a good 4 weeks cure. Very hairy buds too which was interesting 😂 Still a nice smoke

Final dry weight report (details later): Final chop was on day 88. First harvest was 184g of top-shelf from 5 colas. Then another 5 colas brought it up to 300g of top-shelf on sticks — all from the tent. On the second-to-last harvest I took the rest, which added up to another ~300g including leaves. Flushed with Terra Aquatica FlashClean (before that I was running Overdrive + honey with the base bloom nutrients). In total: 3 days on water + FlashClean, followed by a step-by-step harvest and another 6 days just on water.

Day 61: I left them in darkness for 3 days and just switched on the lamp for 12/12 with today the foirst day of the 9th week. Fertilization goes on the same days with the nutrients above and water intake approx 250 ml per plant per day. Nice green color comes they always look nice after darkness :) Lets' go. Day 66: Growing growing growing...
