Day 56 these autos are running 12/12 because of the northern light being photo period

I defoliated this week, in the 3rd week of flower. The stretch should be about over. Pistils and bud sites abound. I increased Tiger Bloom. Now we wait.

Final stretch for the Cheese trees twins. Amazing smells inside the grow room. Smells great, but this dank ass smell, lingers in the air. Not sure which is creating this odor, or maybe just a mixture from all the ladies. Straight water for the next week. Once I get them down under the 200 ppm mark, I will be dropping these ladies. The tops of these ladies are super heavy. Light cables are stopping them from bending right over and hitting the floor. These Cheese have been healthy through the entire grow. Haven't lost a single leaf and all remain healthy. One healthy strain and a pleasure to watch grow and bloom. Looks like it will be a breeze to trim up.👍

Approaching the finish line. Fertilizer is now at its final dose. Both plants stopped growing now and started to build thick buds. Ken in fact is way ahead in terms of buds but it might be because he Hase a little bit less in number. It’s possible that I trained Ryu too much for his pot size 😆😆. But let’s see. Both looking very good and a lot more powerful than in my first grow. Water intake is still massive. The top soil is rock solid while draining water super fast which must mean the pots are filled with massive roots. The erected teeth came down a bit but they were never that severe in the first place so I’m still not worried about that. I skipped one day of watering to account for possible slight overfeeding but I mean, today’s watering then was with the increased dose of fert 😆😆. I know I’m pushing it a little bit but that’s deliberate. I have high demands both in mass and quality so my approach is riding the edge as good as possible from the beginning 😆

Week 2 Flower Report: Blackberry Auto's Swift Blossoming! Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 2 of flowering marks a significant milestone in the journey of my Blackberry Auto, and let me tell you, this one's moving at lightning speed – the fastest I've ever witnessed in an auto. Let's dive into the unfolding botanical saga and witness the blossoming beauty firsthand. Burgeoning Buds and Floral Symphony: As the second week of flowering commences, the once-timid buds of Blackberry Auto are now burgeoning into floral marvels at an unprecedented pace. Each bud tells a story of promise and potential, with delicate pistils reaching out like fingers, embracing the essence of bloom. Hydration Harmony and Nutrient Nourishment: The AutoPot Aquavalve continues to be a steadfast companion, ensuring the plant's hydration needs are met with precision, crucial for this rapid growth. Coupled with a nutrient regimen tailored to support flowering, Blackberry Auto thrives in a symphony of hydration and nourishment, laying the groundwork for robust bud development. Aromatic Euphoria and Visual Splendor: As the flowers unfurl, they release an aromatic symphony that fills the air with notes of sweetness and delight. Meanwhile, the visual spectacle is equally captivating, with hues of green giving way to vibrant shades of purple and indigo – a testament to the genetic lineage of Blackberry Auto. Tender Care and Gentle Guidance: Amidst the flowering frenzy, I continue to provide tender care and gentle guidance to Blackberry Auto, ensuring she stays on track despite her rapid pace. Low-stress training techniques are employed to ensure optimal light penetration and bud development, shaping the plant's canopy into a tapestry of floral abundance. Anticipation and Gratitude: With each passing day, anticipation grows for the bountiful harvest that lies ahead.

Yoo, what’s crackin’ y’all? It’s Zuppler checkin’ back in with the week 4 veg report, comin’ to you from the land of dirt and sadness. Yo, we’re hittin’ the home stretch of veg, and these girls look like they’ve been pumpin’ iron or somethin’. Stalks thick as a palm trunk, leaves lookin’ like they tryin' to catch all the rays. Ain’t no stuntin’ goin’ on here – these ladies in full-on beast mode. Still feedin’ that Advanced Nutrients on RO water, You know, that extra sauce to keep ‘em strong, gettin' rid of them lower leaves that ain’t doin’ much. Gotta make sure all the energy goes where it counts. The roots gotta be massive by now – these girls takin' up water like a sponge in the swamp, but no signs of droop or deficiencies. The stretch is slowin’ down, but that’s all good. They’re lookin' sturdy, like they ready to handle whatever comes next. Just about time to flip the switch and let ‘em show us what they really got. Zuppler out, peace!

To update...

My Northern Lights #10 plant is a real beauty. I love the old-school look of the leaves and the way it's growing. It's stacking up so nicely and getting huge! It's definitely a standout in the garden. Okay, This past week has been absolutely fantastic! The weather has been incredible, and I've been able to keep the windows open almost the entire time. My plants are thriving in the humidity, and the VPD has been perfect. Everything just feels so balanced and in check.

Harvested Ganja Farmer Seeds / Mandarine XL Auto today, and put 263 grams of wet plant matter into the tent today, I tend to yield about 20% of that in the drying process, so we are looking at about 52 grams of finished weight flower, I am very pleased with the quality of what I harvested today, I would like to grow this again to see if I can push it further, the buds are thick and very hard, extremely resinous, the terpene profile is Sweet, Sour, Mandarin, Citrus fruits, I am looking forward to the smoke report!

She popped up a couple of days ago (check the timelapse) so I'm calling this week 1. I've put lots of perlite in her soil this time around, last couple of grows, as a test, did not have perlite and I noticed the soil was really firm and compact. Also it didn't drain very well at all. Hopefully the addition of perlite will fix this.

Looks nice

Still trucking along. I had my light turned up a bit high for the first week, I turned them down a few days ago and all the plants seemed to enjoy it. Nothing else to report really.

Last week and flushing With flawless finish and pure water

Hey hey my fellow growers, I hope everyone had an excellent week! It is great to be back here at the beginning of week six, let’s get into it! Last week I had misspoke- I said I was going to train 5 of the 6 plants I have going from fastbuds, this was false…. What I meant is all 6… Yes at the time I had only INTENDED on messing with 5 but the last one, the way it was structured with the self top, it was practically BEGGING me to get in there and play with it- and I ask you this- who would I be to deny that little strawberry pie the simple pleasure of a little training? So train I did… Nothing crazy, but actually for all six plants (despite my best efforts, best being debatable) to not go overboard- I have been going in a doing a little bit of training and taking a leaf off here and there if it’s blocking any potential bud sites. I am trying to be really careful and not do too much at once and upset any of them- but at the same time, after stunting them a bit with the taproot incident (which I will keep referring to until I learn from that mistake) I want to do what I can to maximize yield after tripping up a bit in the beginning. We will see how it goes, but for now, everything seems to be doing well and responding well to the bit of training I have been doing. Right now I am seeing a range of sizes among the bunch- the forbidden runtz are both shorter and squatier coming in at about 5.5 inches in height each and I notice everything is spaced a bit tighter on these so I have had some difficulty spreading them out but not to any problematic extent, just in comparison with the rest- Next we have the strawberry pie- the smaller one coming in at 5.5inches, is the one that I was speaking about that had topped itself. It seems to be doing well and handling the training just fine. However the other one, that one is much bigger and is about 8.5 inches tall. It wasn’t until I busted out the ruler that I saw that this was the second biggest plant of the fast buds. That leaves the largest which of course was the gorilla cookies! The smaller of the two is coming in at 8 inches and the larger one coming in at 9.5! They are both tied down and doing great, showing growth each day after being trained and having select leaves removed. We are getting closer and closer to flower I hope to have a bit more time with them but that is totally in their hands, so we will see what happens- the game plan now for me at this point is to keep doing what I’ve been doing- trying to balance on a delicate line. As far as other news… I am doing dishes the other day- I have my phone propped up with YouTube on and dude grows playing (my preferred way to do dishes) I hear the dude mention a giveaway they are doing that I had submitted an entry for recently so my ears had perked up…👀 I saw they had the contest page pulled up and on display and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be cool if I got to see my picture right now, sure enough- I hear them start talking about my pictures! I in no way won (at this point, my fingers are crossed though haha) and I realize that this is debatably anticlimactic however, I listen to these guys everyday at work so I was stoked! I still am! There are lots of good giveaways going on right now, all the amazing contests going on on this site, Instagram wherever! You have to be in it to win it folks and often it doesn’t take much to enter- I wish you all luck if you participate in any holiday contests and I hope you all have a fantastic holiday week and I will catch you all here at the same time in the same place hopefully with some new goodies and we can continue this fastbuds journey! Growers love and happy holidays everybody!!! 💚🤙🌱

Es geht in den Endspurt, die Trichome auf den Headbuds werden langsam Bernsteinfarben. Die leicht beschatteten Buds haben noch einige transparente Trichome und dürfen daher ein paar weitere Tage an der Pflanze bleiben. Leider gab es in der letzten Woche in inneren von drei Buds beginnenden Schimmel. Buds wurden vollständig entsorgt somit (42g) Nassgewicht an den Pilz geopfert. Die drei weiteren letzte Woche geernteten Buds (46g Nass) waren nicht betroffen und trocknen schon für eine Vorverkostung. :) Die Headbuds werden aufgrund ihrer vortgeschrittenen Reife und steigenden Schimmelgefahr schon zu Beginn dieser Woche abgeerntet. Unglaublich wie massiv diese Buds gewachsen sind.
