Time to start feeding her! She is doing ok but a little smaller compared to other diaries. I figure its because the heat. I’m hoping this is the week she starts to run. Wish me luck!!

I harvested when go began to see some amber trichomes, the plant grew very well, the maturation of trichomes was quite slow. The buds are nice and full bodied and the scent is very sweet and pleasant, reminiscent of gesolmino and strawberry bubblegum.

These are the replacement crew for the left hand side of my tent. They have been growing for around 1-2 weeks in 1 gal pots and then 1 month in the final 4gal. They are currently running on veg nutes for the first week or 2 of the flip, then they will join the other side with a 1000pm flower version of the Mega Crops. For veg I run part a/part b at a 1:1 For flower i run it at 2:1. Ill be slowly removing bud site growth that is closer to the bottom. Also will remove all the lower leaves around week 3 or 4,depending on foliage.

Holy crap can you say rocket ship hahaha. Thing grew over 10" I 7 days. I've only got 6" of grow space left before my light is completely maxed out soooo yea fingers crossed lol. She's got tones of buds growing all over and is looking amazing. She has filled this tent out better then my last few grows in this tent. The temp has been holding around 25 to 26.5 light on the last week and humidity has been jumping back and forth between 50% and 60%. I've jumped up to a gal of water a day plus a extra 500ml every other day for run off. My run off gas been between 50 and 100 above my input so that's good. Plants looking happy so I'm happy Well that's all Happy growing everyone!!!!

She's healthy and going strong! Smells absolutely amazing. The only issue I currently have is the light being far away from plant because there is another plant in the tent twice her size. It's not terrible though

Partially drained the tank at the start of the week and topped up with ro water and 1ml of final solution per Litre. Last 2.5 days were in darkness. I trimmed the majority of fan leaves before hanging up to dry in the tent today. Started out trimming with the plants in the tent and soon realised it would be much easier to just cut them down whole, hang them upside down outside the tent and trim them up a bit. I have a small dehumidifier and a small fan heater setup in the tent and they have been keeping a humidity level of about 60% and a temp of 16 Celsius for the last few days while the lights have been off. I figure that's a good starting point for drying and I can increase the temperature if needed, that will drop the humidity also. Intake fan at the bottom and extract fan at the top are running constantly as they have been since the grow started (low power 4" fans). I might add back in a fan for circulation depending on how the drying goes, or maybe even trim or hang the plants better to get more airflow around the buds

Week 3 is here and again thank you to all you fellow grower’s that have stopped by to show the love 👊🏻✌️ a massive thank you to James @RQS for trusting me with this grow. A link to their website below go check them out 🙌 . Well we are at the start of week 3. Moving along nice and steady. Starting to really struggle with RH yesterday was down to 40% for most of the day. Managed to get it back to 50%. I think I will top them all towards the end of the week but I need to see more growth before I do this. Day 17, watered last night. Started to train the first plant. I’m going onto the back one either tonight or tomorrow. Turned the heat Matt off as I think the roots were getting too warm 🤷 we carry on. ✌️👊🏻 Day 18, adjusted the ties on this lady gone in fairly hard so we shall see how she handles it. Topped the other weeding cake today too. Let’s see how they look in a couple days. ✌️🙌 Day 20, watered last night. Slow and steady happy with how they have progressed after training and topping. ✌️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/uk/

This week with this girl has been awesome she has really started to take off now that her soil is rite! She grew over 5" in the last week and that's what I chose to take for my clones. 2 to be exact and hopefully will have better results with this go around. Took me 2 clones off this mom plant so now she has been topped twice. Hopefully with the lessons from personalsmoke will end up with a couple clones of puffinz. They look sad at the moment but I havnt seen what normaly happens to clones 24 hours later. I give momma about 330 ml of de-clorinated 6.8 ph water every 2 or 3 days when the hydrometer goes around 3. She is in living soil so for now will just sit how we are and just straight water to make her happy! Thanks everyone for the love All sent back 10

Day 9 – After the Clouds, the Sun Returns Following a couple of cloudy, cooler days with unpredictable UK spring weather, today we’re back in business – full sunshine bathing the windowsill, and the seedling is clearly appreciating it. On day 9, she’s showing good upward momentum, with a healthy green tone and a nicely elongated, but not overly stretched, stem. The second set of serrated leaves is beginning to open up, and the seedling’s posture is strong and upright. This morning I gave her 1 litre of clean, pH-balanced tap water. No added nutrients – the organic super soil and Biobizz All Mix are handling that just fine for now. I’m keeping to my minimal-intervention philosophy: no boosters, no chasing perfection – just observation, clean inputs, and natural sunlight. Observations: Although the last 48 hours brought overcast skies and some temperature swings (unmeasured near the window), the seedling remained stable – no signs of droop or stress. Today’s sun is back in full force, with direct light from 07:00 to around 14:00, likely peaking again at ~1350 μmol/m²/s. Still no supplemental light or artificial environment. Everything remains natural and low-effort. Thoughts Moving Forward: It’s always interesting to see how a young autoflower responds to dips in light and ambient temperature – they don’t have time to waste, and yet this one seems to have taken the brief grey spell in stride. Looking ahead, if the weather holds steady, we should start to see noticeable structural development over the next few days. She’s holding up well. Calm, steady progress – just the way I like it. Day 11 – Holding Strong Indoors While the Outdoors Waits. Here we are on Day 11, and the little CBD Auto 20:1 continues to develop steadily on the sunny windowsill. The first set of true leaves is broadening nicely, and the new growth in the centre is coming in with good symmetry and colour. Stem strength is improving as well, holding the plant upright with no signs of stretching or leaning – exactly what I like to see at this stage. I’m continuing to water only with clean, pH-balanced tap water, no additives, no boosters. Just letting the super soil mix and Biobizz All Mix do their thing. This “less is more” approach seems to be paying off so far. Weather notes: The past few days have been moderately sunny, with occasional clouds, but the windowsill stays consistently warm – definitely warm enough to encourage strong vegetative growth. Outdoors, however, it’s a different story: cold air, unpredictable swings, and… snails. Lots of snails. This seedling wouldn’t last a night outside right now – she’d be a gourmet treat for any passing mollusc. For now, she stays safe behind glass, soaking up the sun from dawn until early afternoon (~07:00–14:00), and building up strength for the future move outdoors – once the weather is right and the risks are low. Final thoughts for today: There’s something satisfying about watching a seedling thrive under low-tech, natural conditions. No grow tents, no supplemental lights – just sunlight, soil, and simple attention. She’s doing well, and the coming week should bring the next round of leaf growth and even more structure. Slow, steady, and sun-fed – exactly how I imagined this grow would go. Day 14 – Two Weeks Strong & Natural Salty Signs Two weeks in, and the CBD Auto 20:1 is holding her own beautifully. After a slow and steady start on the windowsill, she’s now clearly entering a more active vegetative phase. The leaves are spreading wide, looking rich and healthy in colour, with that classic Fast Buds symmetry already taking shape. Stem structure is upright and solid, with no signs of stretching, which tells me she’s perfectly aligned with the available sunlight hours. Watering & Environment Update: She continues to receive pH-balanced, clean tap water only, and the pot remains well-drained and breathable thanks to the fabric construction. Today, I noticed white patches on the fabric pot – a common and harmless sign of mineral salt deposits. This occurs when moisture evaporates through the fabric, leaving behind minerals from the water (mainly calcium and magnesium). It’s cosmetic only and doesn’t affect the plant or roots in any negative way. Light Conditions: After a few low-light days earlier this week (we recorded a light intensity drop down to ~30 μmol/m²/s during heavy cloud cover), today brought back that sweet UK sunshine. The plant is once again receiving its reliable 07:00–14:00 window of direct sun, which we’ve measured previously around 1350 μmol/m²/s at peak – ideal for a low-input indoor approach. Final Thoughts: She’s looking compact, balanced, and ready to stretch. No signs of stress, deficiency, or pest issues – and I’m really enjoying observing how this plant responds to minimal intervention in a realistic environment. Not rushing anything, not chasing perfection – just letting nature and a well-prepped soil mix lead the way. Next week should be an exciting one!

D60. I'm back again after being out of town for six days. The tent was packed when I opened it! The girls had stretched more, and a couple of leaves were even touching the lights and had gotten burnt. They are now 125 cm tall. That's five times the height they were when I flipped to flower. Five times!!! I have never had a strain stretch this much, and I hope they are done now since there's no more room in the tent. I removed the fan and carbon filer and placed them outside the tent. It looks a bit stupid and is far from stealthy, but what to do? I moved up the lights as far as possible, but I will probably switch the lights with the one I have in my autotent. That light has a much lower profile, so raising it even further is possible. Should that not be enough, I will have to cut off some tops, but I hope it doesn't come to that. The first girl already has dark purple flowers, while the second looks more green with some purple. ------------------------------ D61. I opened the tent today, only to find that the second girl had stretched another 2 cm overnight! This is getting ridiculous, and I hope they stop soon. I super-cropped the tallest top, hoping it would slow down the stretch. A few hours later, she had already recovered. These genetics are nuts! In other news, my girlfriend found spider mites on her papaya plants that are in the same room as my tents. We immediately removed the plants from the room, and I started to scout my plants for an infestation. The good news is that I didn't find any spider mites. However, the bad news is that I found thrips on the lower leaves of the second girl. Ugh! I had thrips last grow season, and I guess some survived. The thrips were only on the lower part of the plant, so I defoliated the girls by removing a bunch of leaves and tiny branches down low and immediately threw them out of the apartment. Thrips don't like it humid, and since the buds are still tiny, I don't need to worry about botrytis yet, so I cranked up the humidity into the high 70s to low 80s. Finally, I ordered a bunch of lacewing larvae that will get here next week. They should eat the thrips and any spider mites that I might not have been able to find. ------------------------------ D63. The girls have slowed their stretch, BUT they are still stretching somewhat. I freaked out when I opened the tent today and saw they were taller, so I attacked them immediately and super-cropped the highest tops. I will switch out the lights next week, gaining me another few centimeters, which I hope will be enough. The VPD in the tent is way off, but I'm more interested in figuring out the light and getting rid of the thrips. Finally, I watered each girl with 2.5 liters of water L pH 6.1, with 10 ml humic acid and 5 ml Fermented Fruit Juice I made a few months ago. ------------------------------

She's ready to get flushed. I've put her in my second tent to leave her in total darkness for 2 days before I'll hang her to dry. This helps the plant to break down the chlorophyll.

After 24 hours in the large fabric pots alot of improvement from a few errors in the germination stage they were streching for light so i had to rush the seedlings to the tent and get it all set up u will see the difference from when i put in pots to now

Not sure about the pin down technique, although I will carry on until flowering. It definitely requires more practice. Seems like the plant is willing to live, and the thing is I have only 3 months until my holiday, so there is no time to start over with an another grow. The genetics in this one isn't the best in my opinion, one stem grows really odd leaves. I will wait a bit more and if the strange shaped leaves are keeping growing, then I will have to cut off that branch.

week 6 of flower and she is starting to put on the weight. Buds have not got more frosty, not sure if its the strain or I've missed something. We are going to go with it the strain and not me, LoL. RQS says 8 to 9 weeks for flower. We will see how accurate that is. i'm going to give some Silica this week to see if it will help with trich production.
