1/11/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I have a root almost in the water.. Yay!! Top feeding is almost done. she is looking a little sad as I work the transition Top feeding but once the roots are fully in the water she will start to take off. Ensured my PPFD is set between 250-300 it is set to: 258
1/12/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I have a root in the water.... NO TOP FEED TODAY SIR!!! now that a root is touching the water and she looks stable, I am not going to topfeed, I will see how she looks tomorrow and as long as everything looks good I am going to go ahead and do a change and week 1 fill on Nutes.. I know it is a couple of days in but the same Nutes go through Week 2 and get changed at Week 3 So I should be good to go.. I will just ensure I fill to root touching the water when I change tomorrow.
1/13/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- Water Change Day!!
I added 36 Gallons of Water to the system:
Silica= .5mil/gal= 18mil
CalMag= .75mil/gal = 27mil
FloraMicro=3.0mil/gal = 108mil
FloraGro=2.0mil/gal = 72mil
FloraBloom= 2.0mil/gal = 72mil
PH DOWN= 30mil
Very important thing with this system is to now wait the 24 hours for the system to adjust.. Do not make any further adjustments to your PH up or Down for 24 hours to allow time for the system to balance.
1/14/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I just adjusted the PH to ensure that it was right at 6.0
1/15/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today I Cleaned up the lower damaged leaves from the transition from top feeding to roots in the water. She looks good today.
1/16/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I just took a picture of the beautiful lady for Log. Other than that just normal day to day operations, check the pH, check the Humidifiers and fill as necessary, check level of water in the Res. Everything looks great. onto Tomorrow!!
1/17/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Today I filled the humidifers, checked the PH and just let her grow.. Grow baby Grow.....

Everything looks fine. Stopped feeding them for 2-3 days because of the yellowlish leaf tips.
I am thinking to make a defoliation since a week but i am not sure how i should do it. Would appreciate some advice ^^

Lessons learned from week 1 of my first grow so far:
the best watering solution I found so far is a mix of distilled water from the store and filtered tap water. with a final ph of 6 and ppm of 20-40.
a little ph buffer goes a bloody long way. Use with caution.
performing tasks like mixing solution and potting a germinated seed are best performed without a phone (camera) in one hand.
the seed germinated within 24 hours using paper towels. I planted after 36 hours.
After 24 hours of potting, the stem was already shooting up, and I turned on the lights, set to an 18 hour schedule. I wasn't quite ready for this, so it took me some time to research and get the desired humidity and temperature.
At this point I added more nutrient in even quantities of FloraGro, FloraMicro, and FloraBloom, according to instructions. Perhaps a little early though, although after just one 18 hour light cycle this plant is shooting up like a rocket and showing leaves.
I bought a fan for the inside of the tent and propped it up on a box, and a humidifier to bring the humidity from 40-50% to around 70%.
Since it's a winter grow, I have to periodically increase the temperature to keep it at 25 °C. The intake fan, humidifier, and inside fan are significantly lowering the temperature. I'm also experimenting with finding the right humidifier settings since the humidity seems to increase a lot when the lights go out, and the machine is still new.

Hate that I had to chop earlier then I wanted but when life throws u a curve ball u have to adapt lol anyways she had mostly cloudy tricoms and smelt amazing 👏 but her she is I'll let u know the final results when it comes to dry weight. Also I'm revegging here 😆 🤣 😂 😹 she's one of my new mother plants now!

I dry trimmed everything I harvested. What I mean is I cut all fan leaves while the plant was still in the ground. I trimmed what I could and hung the whole plant for a few days then separated branches. The ice cream cake and the large seedling are both still hanging intact. Ice cream cake was easy as it grew more like a sativa them the indicas I usually grow. Plant reached a height of 9 to 10 feet. Yield was some what diminished due to septoria. This strain seemed particularly sensitive to plant diseases.

So 7 weeks in and there are still no pistils, this was a free seed from @Dutch Passion and i thought it was an auto as the rest of the seeds i purchased were but im guessing its a photo period so i have now switched to 12/12.

I'm going to rinse the left pot with Advanced Nutrient "Flawless Finish" which is suppose to grab nutrients out from the plant and medium with empty chelates then only feed with PH 5.8 water for a week or so. Tricomes are mostly milky now on it but not many brown at all.
The 2nd plant which is much taller looks to be about a week behind, so will treat that one accordingly. I'm really tempted to chop the advanced one down!!!
Flawless Finish and Bud Candy from now on out, Giving a more heavy dose of Flawless Finish right now and will wait 12 hours and do it again with a heavy flushing that time to get the medium as clean as possible. It will take at least 4L per pot to start flushing well.
Still look like they are packing and fattening up though. Yellowing in the left side is pronounced,
Day 65: A few more days of flushing till the chop. The scent is kind of nasty right now

Beginning week 9
Plans this week:
Make a long time lapse while away this weekend - post more photos too
Lollipop
Tuck and tie a bit
Possibly build a second scrog level?? Thoughts anyone??
Research and purchase or build a “grow room controller” - tent: temp, rh, light(?), co2(?) — rez: ph, ec, temp, water level - maybe more stuff like tie in the cameras, also basement temp and rh, fan and lights and pump contro. Nutrient dosing and ph control would be awesome but likely too pricey— but I’m a geek and this will be fun! I’d prefer a prebuilt system but I’m not totally opposed to building an Arduino/pi style solution (reliability and time to get it right are concerns tho - plus I have an arcade cabinet project I’d like to get to soon) — **ANY THOUGHTS OR ADVICE ANYONE???
To do list:
I picked up some angle aluminum and I plan to finally make a single frame for the numerous LED lights
Mount things to the wall (temp and humidity sensors, timers, utility light, etc)
General cleanup and house keeping - wire management etc
Install new portable air conditioner in the basement - this will be a bit of a project - casement windows and other issues
Hopefully this week: install a utility sink in the basement and tie into the water lines and waste lines of the house (no more carrying water and waste upstairs!!)

cant wait 2 see her flowers, she has been standing in safehouse last days bc of wet and chilly weather.. and i guess we all know
purple loves a bit of chill.....😍👍
I can already smell her, guess the hedgehogs cant wait to get their hair purple!😎👌

Week 7: Bloom Phase Launch & Heat Resilience
Update: 04.07.2025 | Day 52
Temperatures peaked at 37°C this week – all plants handled the stress like champions. Zero pest issues. Took them out of the greenhouse to prevent heat stress. Adjusted feeding to address yellowing leaves.
Strain Progress:
Forbidden Runtz
Officially in full bloom mode. Buds forming densely across the canopy with visible resin on sugar leaves. LST created a perfectly even structure. Emits a distinct sweet-fruity aroma when brushed – taste potential is promising. Minor yellowing on lower sugar leaves addressed with Bokashi boost. Otherwise impeccable health.
Green Crack
Caught up to Forbidden Runtz in size. First buds forming across all tops with early resin glimmers. Less bushy than Bruce Banner but likely needs 4-5 more weeks. Aroma present but subtle – awaiting signature mango punch. Strategic tie-downs continue to balance secondary shoots.
Bruce Banner
The standout performer. Bud sites exploding from every node under heavy LST. Top-down view reveals exceptional cola distribution. Responded best to training – poised to yield heaviest in the trio. Genuine testament to FastBuds' genetics.
Feeding Adjustment:
- Crushed Biotabs dissolved in water (50ml concentrate per 10L)
- Added to every watering with Bokashi juice (1:100)
- Targets yellowing while accelerating nutrient release
Next Focus:
- Monitor bud density development weekly and watch out for pests
- Monitor plants for nute deficencies and to ensure the best growth as possible
Catch ya next week.

27.2.25:
Watermelon 🍉 and Purple Lemonade 💜🍋 are both far below the scrog net, they've definitely stopped stretching now.
My LST on these was much worse than even just using the net. 😅 That was certainly a valuable takeaway.
I'm sure Purple Lemonade 💜🍋 will be good.
Watermelon 🍉 was so stunted. It's not a tall strain, usually either, but nevertheless, the buds there are looking very frosty and are very, very sticky! 😅
Should be a good smoke, eventually, 🤗 just won't be much to bag unfortunately.

Definitely would’ve been better had I not moved but nonetheless it was a great run overall, super frosty and sticky with not very dense buds which made for a difficult trim but I didn’t mind.
