Day 78 - Starting week 12 and had a ton of leaves that yellowed and died off. Most were from the bottom of the plant so thinking it’s just the natural process. Gave her two gallons of water and cal-mag today and the next watering will be with nutrients. She’s definitely starting to fatten and fill up and really frosty and sticky. Day 79 - All looking good and she’s chugging along nicely, couple more weeks and will probably start flushing her to finish up. She’s almost dried up already so she’ll be getting 2 gallons of water and nutrients tomorrow. Day 80 - Things are going good and gave her 2 gallons of water and nutes today. Afterwards I placed her back in the tent but had to hook up some of the yo-yo’s in there because she’s tall and the buds are starting to weigh her down so hopefully she won’t stress so much trying to stand tall now. Day 82 - All is looking good and had to give the girl 2 gallons of pH’d water and cal-mag today. She really seems to like the yo-yo’s helping her support the weight of the buds. She’s fattening and frosting up more each day and looking like we might be down to the last couple of weeks. Day 83 - She’s starting to develop a little darker coloring on her towards the top and it’s making her look fantastic. The smell is amazing and she’s frosty as hell. She’s got some really thick and bright white pistils still shooting out so still looking at a good couple of weeks before she’s ready for harvest. Will be giving her some pH’d water and cal-mag tomorrow. Day 84 - The end of week 12 today and gave her her 2 gallon drink of water and cal-mag. Other than that, she’s doing good and starting to notice the pistils just now starting to shrivel up just a bit. Still bright white and standing tall but some are starting.

Still stacking up buds starting to fill in. I just realized one of my bulbs blew out. So I will replace as soon as I can get one. I have been watering every other day alternating plain water with Beastie Bloomz every other watering. Strawberry Pie is really getting full of resin really sticky has a stronger smell than the others with that strawberry smell really coming through

Plants are all a little out of sync with each other due to multiple strains. Most are in early flower, a couple in late veg but the big Tangiematic is way ahead of the rest. Warm wet weather is making humidity a bit of an issue, hit 80% at one point so I've had to turn the outtake fan up to full power.

🌸 Week 8 Flower – The Trichome Symphony Begins 🌸 Eternity Grow Cup This week… it’s all about the frost. ❄️ We are diving deep into the universe of trichomes, those magical crystal-like structures that define potency, aroma, and visual beauty. Each pheno this week is presented with its own dedicated video — so everyone can witness the uniqueness and evolution of these genetics firsthand. The photos? Focused close and true on the trichomes and their stalks, the very essence of the plant’s protective and expressive language. 💎 What Are Trichomes? Trichomes are tiny resin glands that cover the surface of cannabis flowers and sugar leaves. They’re responsible for producing and storing cannabinoids (like THC and CBD), terpenes, and flavonoids — the compounds that create the plant’s effects, scents, and flavors. They act as the plant’s natural defense — from UV rays, pests, and environmental stress — and in return, they gift us with beauty, medicine, and art. Why So Many Trichomes Here? This room has turned into a crystal forest thanks to a harmonious mix of tech, care, and nature: 🔹 Spectrum Tunings: Using the TrolMaster system, we’ve dialed in a spectrum rich in reds, far-reds, and UV at precise times to stimulate trichome production. The plants are responding in full. 🔹 Lighting: The under-canopy power of the ICL 300s, combined with the canopy-level intensity of the Model 1s, is creating full-spectrum saturation from top to bottom. Buds are stacked, frosty, and glowing from every angle. 🔹 Nutrition Synergy: The tag-team of Aptus Holland and Plagron has been flawless. The clean base, balanced micro and macro elements, and biostimulants have driven these girls into full expression mode. You can see the nutrition working in every crystal. 🌿 Where Are We Now? We’re likely one week to ten days from harvest, but of course we’ll follow the plants’ signals. They’re still swelling and building — it’s the final stretch, and they’re sprinting. Nerdy Note: Trichomes can be bulbous, capitate-sessile, or capitate-stalked — and in this run, the capitate-stalked ones are standing tall and loaded. Expect a full cannabinoid and terpene profile when it’s time for analysis.( bro talk not lab hihihihi) 🌟 Let’s take a moment to recognize that we’re witnessing the peak of this cycle. This is living art, frozen in time by a camera lens but alive in scent and energy. This Week’s Feeding Program To support this explosive trichome production in Week 8 Flower, we’re feeding with precision and purpose. Every drop counts now, and here’s the clean, efficient mix we’re running: • Aptus Holland – Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • Aptus Holland – System Clean: 0.25 ml/L • Aptus Holland – RO Water Condition: 0.8 ml/L • Aptus Holland – All-In-One Liquid: 1.25 ml/L • Plagron – Green Sensation: 1 ml/L • pH set at 6.2 💧 We’re keeping it clean, clear, and consistent. No extra PK boosters or unnecessary additives. Just smart nutrition, tuned spectrum, and stable conditions to let the plants express themselves naturally. The synergy between Aptus Holland’s Clean Program and Plagron’s Green Sensation is clearly showing in every frosty bud. This week, we’ve fine-tuned the spectrum to push the plants into full resin-production mode. I’ve reduced the white light intensity to 40% while keeping the reds and UVs running at 100%. This shift focuses energy on the wavelengths that directly stimulate secondary metabolite production—especially trichomes. Red light enhances flower development and density, while UV exposure encourages plants to produce protective compounds, like cannabinoids and terpenes, as a natural defense. This balance between lower photosynthetic pressure and high-spectrum stimulation is helping the girls finish strong, frosty, and full of character. 🙏 Massive thanks to all sponsors, followers, friends, and growers in the community. To the ones competing, to the ones just watching — THANK YOU. This is almost the end of the road, and every diary, every plant, every effort deserves respect. 💬 Don’t forget to follow the full 4K experience on YouTube, and for behind-the-scenes action and updates, join us on Instagram.

Much better harvest to end this first greenhouse grow. 48g dry on this plant. Still quite airy, but resinous and great smell. More relaxed effect than harvest 1. I could have done with another week or two with her, but the humidity was regularly into the 90s, there was very little sun and nearby tomato plants were starting to grow mold. I cut and ran, I need these meds to get me through the winter. Final total for both plants 59g. With a bit of luck, this should keep me medicated for a while. Indications are good.

I harvested one of the plants last week, and it finish drying today. The buds are small and airy well because the that plant is not in best condition but still pretty good for first grow. I harvested another plant today, and still one remains maybe i’ll give it another week before harvest. I will update this post for the taste and weight of the plants. (I don’t have a weighing scale) UPDATE 1: The buds of the first plant is ready to smoke. It smells citrus and fruity but when i smoke it its earthy and woody taste. Maybe its because of the early harvest or it didn’t developed right.

Not sure if i want to top her or not. I might be forced to if she gets out of control. She sure is magical and so easy to grow. Not need much attention right now I'm just letting her do her thing! I have learned that if you leave them alone instead of being overbearing they will surprise you!

420 Fastbuds FBT2304 Week 5 These two girls are starting to transition into flower very nice. Don't mind the dropping in the leafs my lights just came on. Over all haven't done really much besides another defoliation and lollipoped them taking off the lower 3 nodes. Should allow them plenty of light through flower and air to prevent moisture build up at pot level. All in all Happy Growing

Plant at the front #3 has had slowed growth but buds are filling out pretty well now, pretty sure she is a Orange sherbet. Back 2 are on week 3 day 17!!! & Are going Awesome, buds stacking up & down every branch! Going to get some really good Cola's of them! They are loving the 730watts!’ of light, back left plant looks like a Tropicana Cookies, going to do some defoliation on her & tie branches down a bit to open up middle of plant to allow more light & air to lower bud sites.

This week has been amazing. I did some defoliation since last week but you can hardly tell. She has been taking the 3.0 EC real well I thought I definitely had hermed it but damn if she isn’t resilient. I e noticed she drinks 6gal rn I feel that’s gonna ramp up these last coming weeks. This Autopot system has really changed everything I don’t got to worry about any timers or anything just check my ph and that’s it. Drip hydro was kind enough to let us test out the nutrients so shout out to them. See you all guys next week.

Update - 4th July 2021 Just still flushing away. The colours that are coming out are crazy. I have edited some pics but not videos and the videos dont really pick up the colour. Its strange that it started completely green and then went darker and darker until it reached purple buds covered in trichomes. I am planning on harvesting both this plant and the purple punch today or tomorrow depending on when i can be bothered lol Tbh, its not hard because i dry trim so it's just a case of plucking off the fan leaves and hanging it in different branches.

These girls are doing great. The square container is proving to work amazing. I do think I need to feed the one it's a little more hungry in the round container. I really do hope you folks enjoy my diaries cause I sure do. Check back next week to see just how fast she grows & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!

I had some problems this season with dumping off because of too strong sunlight on the seedlings,that's one of the problems on germinating at the end of may however it's gonna be a beautiful outdoor season anyways
