(9th feb) So these girls are now entering week 5 and with small space comes challenges as these girls have really started too lift off growth wise as you can see 2 of the girls icc are tall and the remaining shorter girls are toronjaz all happy and healthy... still no defoliation I have chosen not too took these girls only a topping and leaf tuck here & there and wow they are loving life under aptus nutrients 🌱 They are thriving into this week where I will be tucking a few more leaves before flip in roughly a week or so time 🙏 Finally grow diaries has let me update with images and videos and I'll be updating my fastbuds diary tomorow too These girls are sailing through each week and I'm really happy using aptus nutrients I have topped 1/2 and all have responded great under aptus nutrients which I'm really loving using atm. These girls will have another 2 weeks untill flip too 12 hours light but these aptus fed girls I expect too boom in flower 😍😅 We shall deal with that issue when it arrives 🤣 Happy growing! 💚

I put many identical photos to see the details, the next I will take them with a camera to make sure you see all the smallest details, it smells of citrus almost like smelling an orange, and the bright orange color and magnificent, it started this week to fill with trichomes, we see with the microscope and when it is ready after washing the cut and I will show you the result, too bad that the smell cannot be felt in a video

May 12, 2024 Day 22 A new week. A new watering and some noticable size and progress differences. Let's get to it. Sour Diesel A: She looks really good. About 5.5" and fairly strong. I expect her to harden off nicely. Sour Diesel B: By the most noticable difference in the bunch. This lady is a whole node ahead of the others. She looks amazing. I wonder if she is going to tower over the rest. I'll have to really focus on LST in the coming weeks. She already has a really stiff stem. Thick as well for her size. I'll have to be careful with the initial bend. She's also a out 6" tall. Not much taller than the others, but the ratio is noticable. Sour Diesel C: Just the same as Sour Diesel A. About 5.5" tall, great color and a pretty strong stem. Nothing really noticable between the two for now. Sour Diesel D: She is about 5" now. A bit shorter and a bit behind. However, she is about the same strength and progression as A and C. She will most likely end up small. So I'm definitely giving her her own tent. Sour Diesel B is getting a bit wide now. She's starting to get to the edge of the container. I need that not to happen yet. I won't have space on 4 days. Eek! I'll see how things go. The rest aren't that far behind either. They are just about at the edge of the container. Not as bad, and they won't be much of an issue for the next couple of days. All four plants got 1/4 gallon top watering today. I don't like to flood the soil as my bottom feed system does not. So it makes sense to start low and work my way up. Eventually they will take in about a gallon a day. But by then, they will be well off on their bottom feed systems. Anyway, 1/4 gallon plain tap water each. I've set the DLI to 25 mol/m²/d for the week. I don't think it's going to stay like that for very long. I don't have top space left and this is not a dimming light. So if I have to I can only drop the light down. The environment is looking excellent. I stopped using the humidifier since the watering brought the humidity up to 70% all on its own. I'll have it down to 60% by the end of the week. For now it's nearly perfect with a temp of 77° and the humidity at 71%. The night temp is a bit low for this stage. It's 64° at night. Very low. I'd rather it be closer to 70° during lights out. As soon as they go in the 3x3, it will be fine at 70° during lights out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 72.7% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 13, 2024 Not much to do today. No watering needed, no light changes, no pics. Just planning out LST starting in the next day or 2, especially for Sour Diesel B. She is growing quickly and is starting to grow over her container rim. Sour Diesel A looks great! Long base stem, nodes are a bit tight, but it's not the light. It's just how she's growing for now. I expect her to stretch those nodes out in no time. Sour Diesel B is shaping out to be a pretty vigorous plant. If she keeps this up, she may end up towering over the other plants. I'll have to work on a plan of action. Most likely more LST and maybe a SCroG net for the stretch. Just to keep things low and level with the rest of the canopy. I plan on tying her top down at node 4. It's just starting, but it's super pliable and will be tall enough in a day or two. Sour Diesel C is just the same as A. She is sporting shorter internodal spacing but has a nice long base stem. Much easier to get under the plant when defoliation time comes. Sour Diesel D. Now this plant is still behind the others. She has the same tight internodal spacing like A and C, but smaller. Depending on what happens with how these plants grow, I might be able to keep her in the main tent with the rest of the plants. However, if she ends up too short or if B ends up being too tall, she's going in the 2x2. Hopefully she will end up as big as the others and I can put my 2x2 away for now. The light is going to stay the same while in the veg tent. I can't turn it down, nor can I lift it any higher, so the plants will have to naturally grow into it for the time being. It's should be perfectly fine. Plus it's only for a few more days. I'll be harvesting a couple of Tropicana Cookies in a couple of days and that'll open up plenty of space for these 4 smaller plants without cramming them in. That's where my only concern with Sour Diesel B comes in. She may grow faster and be too big to fit in the tent with the other 5 plants. I hope not. I have a final 2 plants almost ready for harvest in the 3x3. They aren't huge, so they shouldn't really overshadow these ladies. At least not much. The environment is spot on. 77° and 72% humidity. Night time is fine I guess. Kind of cold in my opinion. It's at 67° on average at night with a low of 63.4° and a high of 73.7°. That's for lights out. Daytime is perfectly fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 72.8% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 14, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just some pics and a water weight check. Still heavy. The solo pics will be every other day and the Veg Tent pic will be everyday with the grow day marked. Sour Diesel A is stretching nicely now. She can start training in a couple days. Great color. Beautiful leaves. Sour Diesel B is amazing. She's growing out now and has a strong stem. The very top is pliable. Not great for training. I might have to wait for a bit more stretch from her. She has some excellent internodal spacing. Perfect greens and 7 finger leaves. A great sign for a healthy plant. She's definitely going to be the star of this show. But who knows. Sometimes, another plant will shoot up out of nowhere. It's happened to me. One plant looked great while the other had some early stress. That one turned into a 21 oz monster. Insane. Anyway, there you have it. Right now any of them to could just take off, but I'm putting my money with this lady. Sour Diesel C still has some tight internodal spacing. I need to wait for her to start stretching so she can begin training. We'll see when that will be. Great colors and super healthy, just growing differently for now. Sour Diesel D is the definite runt of the bunch. She's not far behind though and I may actually get to keep her in the tent with the rest and put my veg tent away for the next 6 or 7 weeks. Still, I have the option of keeping it out and using it to keep space open for all plants. 3 in a 3x3 would leave tons of room for them to bush out and fill the canopy. Anyway, great color and very healthy regardless of size. She still may produce a good yield. The light will stay the same as always. They all have a slight reach going on and I couldn't be happier. I'll run a DLI check before I move them to the big tent. So I know what light level to start at. The environment is looking great! The temp is at a nice 77° and the humidity is right at 72%. That will drop when they get in the 3x3. I'll keep it at 60% for the rest of the Veg cycle. I'd also like to note about the medium. This is super soil I think. Or it's just loaded with nutrients. Happily all of the plants too swimmingly to it with no stress. My only thing is with adding nutrients. I don't really have any veg nutrients at the moment, but as this is hot soil, I don't think I'll need any for the veg cycle anyway. However, flowering may be a different story. I have Advanced Nutrients Big Bud, Bud Candy, Overdrive, Sensi Cal/Mag Xtra, Tasty Terpenes and B-52. I think I'll use them. I could use the B-52 during veg, but as I said, this is hot soil. So unless they show signs of deficiency during Veg, I won't add it. No sense in overdoing it. These are autoflowers and don't need a ton of nutrients. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 74.9% VPD: 0.78 kPa May 15, 2024 All 4 ladies got a quarter gallon of water today. I forgot to PH it, so that's a mistake. I will definitely remember next time. Tap water is 7.3. Sour Diesel A looks great! Her branches are growing nicely and fast. She has nearly caught up with B, but she's still 1 node behind. This one seems to be a straight hybrid phenome. Sour Diesel B looks amazing! She has doubled in size and her branches are about half way to the edge of the container. Very exciting. This is a sativa dominant phenome. Sour Diesel C also looks great. She still has the tight internodal spacing, but it's getting better. She looks to be the same phenome as A is. Sour Diesel D is a straight up indica dominant phenome. Her leaves are super wide compared to the other plants. She is still smaller, but not by a lot. Branching hasn't really started yet. Not like A and B. All four plants are super healthy with perfectly green leaves. Their stems are pretty strong. Especially B. Her stem is very close to being unable to train. We shall see. I may be just pulling the side branches out and defoliating that one. The light seems to still be perfect. Slight praying on the outside and perfect on the inside. I rotated B because of this. She was starting to pull towards the light. I may be able to drop it down a smidge for a bit more intensity. They should be able to handle it and maybe grow even faster. I just don't want squat plants. Not leggy either. Where they are at is just right. The environment hasn't given me a problem yet. Temp remains in the high 70°s and the humidity stays just around 70%. I think I'm going to drop it a bit earlier than I intended. I think it's time for the humidity to be closer to 60%. The temp will definitely stay the same, if not climb to the very low 80°s. The night time environment is a bit cold running at and average of 66.8° with the humidity climbing up to 80%. Once I drop humidity, the temp should increase. And once they get in the 3x3 tent, they won't have any problems keeping it at 60% and 77°. The night temp should also increase slightly. I'm hoping for 68° to 69° average and I'd like the humidity to remain at 60%. Shouldn't be a problem. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.5° RH: 71.2% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 16, 2024 All 4 ladies are showing vigor. They will definitely need water tomorrow, but are all very happy plants. Huge leaves, strong stems. Beautiful color green. Sour Diesel A is now the second best of the 4. She's a little shorter than B, but has started spreading her branches and stretching to spread that internodal spacing. She looks great! Sour Diesel B is absolutely stunning. She has beautiful leaves of a lush green. Perfect internodal spacing ratio and a super stiff stem. The branches are nearly at the edge of the container from both nodes 1 and 2. Node 3 is about half way there with node 4 and 5 just starting out. Eventually, I'll have to tie her down, but as I said before, I may train her differently and just pull out the side branches. Sour Diesel C still has some pretty short nodes. Tall main stem, and she is starting to stretch, but still kind of tight. Huge leaves though. Like massive for the size of the plant. And I'm pretty sure she has the biggest leaves of all the plants. Indica dominant? Or straight up hybrid? We'll find out soon enough. Sour Diesel D is still short, but is catching up to C. And much like C, she is showing short nodes and big leaves. Beautiful color and a very nice plant, but not as nice as the other 3. I think I'll rotate them out tomorrow. Put A and B in the back with C and D up front. My light may be unlevel. I don't think I can fix it though. It's too light and the power cord is super stiff, so it pulls the light one way. Oh and I need to check the DLI. I have a feeling I can drop it down now. Just a few inches I think. Just to get that DLI up and make these ladies shoot up. The environment is still really nice with a temp of 77° and the humidity at 68%. Night temps are an average of 66°. I'll leave it his way until I get into the big tent which should be tomorrow. Or even tonight depending on how I feel. I have to check trichomes on one thing plants in the main tent and if they look ready, I can swap them out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 72.8% VPD: 0.81 kPa May 17, 2024 We have finally moved into the main tent. It's a super tight fit, but it fits nonetheless. Now things to note as we go into the main tent. First, I'm pretty sure my light in the 2x2 wasn't level front to back. Mostly because Sour Diesel A and B are now twice as tall as Sour Diesel C and D. More developed and perfect spacing between the nodes. To solve this issue, I changed the orientation. In the very back of the tent, behind these ladies is the last Tropicana Cookies. This plant is floppy and bendy to say the least. That being said, it's propped up by one of the Banana Purple Punch's on the right with the second one in the right front. I placed Sour Diesel A and B in the back in front of the Tropicana Cookies. It's taller so there's less light getting to these two. In turn I put Sour Diesel C and D up front where there is more access to light. Let's hope they catch up. If not, then maybe they are different phenomes afterall. Sour Diesel A looks great! Completely caught up with B now. Beautiful color and strong stem. Her branches aren't as long as B, but they are definitely getting there. I think I'll start training in the next day or two. Sour Diesel B is amazing! Her nodes are perfect, her branches are spreading out to the edge of the container now and she is just begging to be trained. However, her stem is really thick and strong. So I have to wait for her to take off which should be any day. Then there is the pre-flower stretch. I'll be training just before that and a little bit during, just to position the branches accordingly. Sour Diesel C is shorter than A and B. About half the size to be honest. Right internodal spacing and I'm pretty sure lack of light quality kept them like this. I don't think it was too much light. That would t make any sense with a 100 watt light nearly 36 inches away. No chance. Anyway, so that's what I think happened. Sour Diesel D is still small as ever, but is now the same size as C, so that's a thing. As I said before, I put her up front with C to get a bit more light. Hopefully she catches up with A and B. If not, it's not really a big deal. All I have to do is place them on one side of the tent with risers and the taller two on the other side. I favor the taller on the left and shorter on the right. It's just the way the tent door opens and placement. I'll check the DLI today at some point today. It should be around 20 to 25 mol/m²/d which is spot on with the stage they are in. Also a much better light, so much better light quality and more efficient intensity. The environment in the main tent is a nightmare for the flowering plants, but for these 4 it's paradise. The Temp is hovering around 76° and the humidity is 62%. There's tons of airflow, so I'm not all that worried about the flowering plants for now. They get well taken care of. Of course I'm trying to drop the humidity down a lot for the flowering plants, but the weather here won't let me. It's been ridiculously humid out for the last week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.4° RH: 61.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa Quick Update: I had to increase the light power from 60% to 80%. I can't really move the light down yet, so I just I increased the power. Once all the other plants are out of the tent, I'll adjust accordingly I also took the light distance measurement and we are at a whopping 40.5" away. No matter, the DLI is what matters, and it's correct. May 18, 2024 No watering today. Just some leaf tucking and rearranging. Sour Diesel A looks great! She is the same size as B. Maybe a tiny bit taller now, but her branches aren't all that long yet. I could only tuck 3 leaves on this one. Still looks good and grew nearly 2" last night. Super vigorous. Sour Diesel B is the star of this show so far. Her branches are all long enough for full leaf tucking. I don't know how I plan on training her up. Maybe I'll bend the top, maybe I'll leave it alone and tie down the side branches. We shall see how things go. Sour Diesel C is smaller with shorter branches and still tight nodes. She's definitely not going to catch up to A and B. Not with how vigorous they are growing. Unless they stop randomly. Anyway, C looks good. She has perfectly healthy leaves and big ones at that. I managed to tuck 2 leaves, but that was it. Sour Diesel D is the same size as C. Same branch length. And no tucking available. She does look healthy. Super healthy, just growing differently. The light is perfectly spot on. I won't be changing it at all until all the other plants are out of the tent. Then I'll set the light to 24" from the canopy and power level down to 60% for a week. Maybe 70%, but I doubt it. We shall see The environment is perfect for these 4 plants. Not exactly perfect for the flowering plants. Actually, it's super horrible for the flowering plants. The temp is around 77° and the humidity is around 65%. Perfect for these ladies. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 64.3% VPD: 1.05 kPa

No signs of flowering yet, maybe slight formation of calxys beginning. Been spraying with molasses, neem, cal mag and liquid kelp (bioweed) and superthrive just once to hopefully delay flowering to increase yield. P.S. if youre new at growing DO NOT try this unless you know what your doing with hormones etc. Theres a chance it can turn your girls hermie. Just be aware!

This is where I really started to take a lot more pictures! Everything was coming along great, I had some slight nutrient lockout starting this week but I took care of it quickly! They respond very well to the training.

Well, those in the catalog died or did not germinate well, apart from that, the 6 seeds without breed that we have saved from good buds that came into my hands germinated well. here I share a little of what could be recorded, as you can see there is a bigger one that was the attempt to germinate the cars with an approximate age advantage of 25 days, with that criterion I will comment on this one in particular and the others in your set. The largest in age also has the largest pot of all of 11 liters approx 3 gallons The 2nd largest is for having the 2nd largest pot of 7 or 8 liters approx 2 gallons The remaining 5 are in pots of 3.5 liters or 1 gallon We also started fighting with the high temperatures due to the weather, which will go down as the months go by in our favor, we turn on lights at night and turn off the lights during the day to compensate, which we will manage just as well as the plants adapt, as will be seen until 3 o'clock 4 week of flowering, which is the one we are currently going through when this diary is being updated

Week 2 —— Wednesday: Day 8 —- Started blues main nutrient feeding. She seem to be loving life at the moment. Getting bigger by the day. Run off:30% Run off ph: 6.1 Run off EC 2.4 I believe the run off ec is so high is because the coco mix I used is pre blended with charge. The reason I think this is today feed was the highest EC I’ve done and that was 1.5 EC. —- Day 9 —- Increased her base nutrients by .5ml/l it added an extra 0.3 ec that yesterday feed, but the sound of the medium Snap crackle and popping it quite relaxing. Is this the zen water at work? Final EC: 1.8 Run Off: 27% Run Off PH: 6.0 Run Off EC: Still way over what it mean to be but it’s going down, I still believe it’s too do with Ecothrive Charge being in the coco already. Blue looking very healthy even tho the high ec run off. —- Day 10 —- Feed: 900ml PH: 5.8 EC: 2.0 Run Off: 275ml Run Off %: 27 NOTES: Looking healthy as usual. —- Day 11 — Feed: 900ml PH: 5.7 EC: 1.8 - Run Off Amount: 220ml %: 24 Ph 6.4 Notes: All is well in the garden this morning. Still trying to bring the run off ph down to 5.8 during veg. Still the ec of the run off is still stupid, read somewhere re top dress on week 4, which I’m not as not using charge. So touchwood it would of sorted itself out. Blue look like she enjoying the feed mind. —- Day 12 —- Just the same as yesterday just bigger. Today going to start to research how to lst etc and to see if can find out what EC charge is at. —- Day 13 — Feed: 1l PH: 5.7 EC: 2.0 Note: Thought today was the best time to start to use my base nutrients at full dose. Not much new to report but starting to enjoy waking up just to see how much she has grow. She has started to lean one side so I have proped her up with a plant label stick. —- Day 14 — Water: 2L PH: 5.8 EC: 2.0 Notes: Seem to be enjoying the nutrients. She looks very healthy. Roll of week 3 as think maybe to start of her lst training

Well I thought I'd give Sweet seeds Red Poison auto a shot this round and so far she's looking nice and strong. She's only getting overcast days so far. I started her in a solo cup with suits in it and transplanted her into a 10ltr pot to stay. 10ltrs bcoz it's I'm in the middle of autumn right now so she should get to big but ya never know hey. I started her in a home made seed mix and then into Canna terra pro mixed with a bit more perlite with no feeding unless she says otherwise. And I really hope to be in the outdoors Sweet seeds comp and pets pics..but I'm in Oz so maybe not..pls SS..☮️

Seems I told a lie last week, I'm late one day and I've done videos again cos again 🤥 Its been a good week for bud production regardless of a hiccup this week which shows as cal/mag and nitrogen deficiencies throughout each plant🤒 My ph pen malfunctioned and I ended up feeding them all 4.5 and didn't notice till the leaves told me 🍂 The ph pen has been replaced, amendments made to buffer the root zone and fingers are crossed 💉🤞 Super stinky grow this, going to replace my carbon filter before starting a new one because I caught wiffs of them when I entered my home today. If the flavours match the smells in this tent I'm in for a treat come smoke time.👃⛽🍋🍇 Its that magic time in the tent now where each girls really showing their own characteristics, both the purple punches and the zkittlez are different phenos to their siblings so I'm excited to see what they finish up like🏁 So far mostly good 👍 Thanks for reading 📖 One Love💚 Fire Farmer🔥👨‍🌾

Trimming started on day 11 of drying an took roughly 5 hours to complete. The yield was 644 of dried flower and another 8 grams of dry sift from the trim bin. I pressed 6 oz into flower rosin with about 20 percent yield with a total of 35g of rosin.

Die kleine wächst ausgesprochen gut. Bisher erfüllt sie meine Erwartungen was die wuchsgeschwindigkeit angeht. Schon nach ein paar Tagen nach Keimung konnte ich für den kräftigsten Sämling entscheiden. Ich werde sie toppen, LST und Scroggen.

These things have been chunking up very nicely in the past 2 weeks. The only 2 plants that I grew where i have pulled 0 buds with botrytis from!! These were the most amazing strains to grow from seedling right up to end of flowering!! I am 100% going to be growing many many WICKED GENETICS strains over this winter I cannot wait so much chem and sour and kush strains going to be an amazing winter for me and my friends!!! Next entry will more than likely be HARVEST!!! ✌️⚙️💨⛽️🦄

The strain is really good. I harvested it when the trichomes were milky and it had a very energizing and uplifting effect. I'll definitely grow it again now with better care and the knowledge I've gained. I harvested around 20 grams dry.

Week 10 done and dusted and I think she is getting closer.... she absolutely stinks so I'm staying out of the tent as much as I can so the pictures are getting less.... No problems to report everything seems to be going just as it should be. 1 question though is from the pics and videos I've posted when would you guys start the 2 week flush? Thanks for popping by people and happy growing 😊
