(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! 💚

The demo clips show how the nutrient and air supply are being delivered to the root zone. After the flooding of the root zone to the top of the container, the pump turns "off" and the nutrient solution simply drains back down the supply pipe and out of the pump intake, which in effect, has now has become the outlet :)

They are going slow but steady. Holding back on watering to help fight the gnats. They were with too many last week. Some yellow points because of an 'on the limit' foliar feed. Nothing to worry about. Still very lush greens. I'm thinking the main reason for their slower growth, is the fan that is on high. My mission from the start s to get thick stalks and branches, to facilitate larger buds. Also, I'm pushing the SP 3000 to its max for the age of my plants, they don't have to reach for the light, resulting in shorter, bushier plants. I don't mind, I think the flowering stretch will make up for that and fill the tent. Still very happy with the SP-3000 from Mars Hydro, a much more constant and manageable climate in the tent, a dream to work with. I made a thank you video for @MarsHydroLED, of course, to also show off my music. I'm thinking one or two more weeks before resetting the light schedule for flowering. I'm already late and if another week will deliver bigger and more buds, I will give them what they need. For those living in Europe, wanting to try super soil, see my recipe in the images. Thank you for following and your likes and support! It really keeps me motivated. Big Hug Bud

All seems to be going well. I'm watering twice a week with 80ml per plant. Using mainly plain water with a little Fish Mix. If growth is strong this week, I'll look potting into 5 gallon pots next week. I've begun some small training with my fingers to keep the stalks malleable and see what shape I want. Once they're in their final pots I'll start training with clips.

Buds should be dried in the dark at 50% humidity at 20 degrees 😍💚

Plants are starting to pack on the buds and densen up. I noticed one of the plants is starting to fox tail and another have rounded buds. See how it turns out in the coming weeks. Other then that nothing new to report .. started to add flora mirco and bloom into the feed to get the ppm up, still want it higher then what it is right now but over the next 2 weeks I will bump it up around another 200-300 ppm to really get the buds growing.

Just got them potted. Plants are in Shock. Removed Damaged Leaves. after Day 1. New growth is standing up and Praying. Flooding every 3 hours. 9/18/2020 had a problem that looked like Cal-Mag issues & overwatering... Was using the tank labels for water marks to tell how much water was in the tank. Discovered that the marks from the factory are wrong. Measured back in exactly 100 Gallons of water and re-nuted the tank. It didn't solve my issue. So I changed the water flood schedule to see if I was overwatering or underwatering. no response from the plants except it was getting worse. After trying things for two days, I "Phoned a friend"... and they suggested to turn the lights down to 25%. BAM! after 20 min or so, there was a positive response and lifting of the leaves... Moral of the story is to start your clones and a lower light setting and gradually bring them up over time. Pics included...

Nothing to report. Very rapid growth this week. She is already bigger than the other plants the same age. Only feeding water, will add nutes maybe on week 3. Also start training this week.

Think about 2 weeks to harvest. The smell is amazing, they're frosty as hell. Little bit of fade starting on the fans, aiming to dial nutrients back over the last couple weeks and finish strong!

12/09/2025 19:20 Unfortunately i finished space in my phone so i stopped doing video on the last 2 plants The end Is near for the gorilla z and the frostbanger,next time will be the chop day #1 gorilla z auto 78 days from seed This plant won't stop producing new pistils but i've seen something at the apical bud that looks like a start of bud rot,so i will harvest the next time i go here Smell Is at his peak,pure z terps with a hint of funky gas #2 frostbanger auto 71 days from seed This strain has some really solid buds and the trichomes ratio Is just perfect ,10/15% amber and the rest milky with almost no clear ones Having problems with spiders as i've seen a lot of webs on a particular bud Now Is 14/09 i think this one could be chopped right now but i will give her 2 more days so i can harvest both this and the gorilla z Smell is strong for real ,citrusy sherbet like so delicious #3 Coco fresh 43 days from seed Almost fully recovered from the damage and streched like crazy Pistils now forming on every site but it is toooooooo late for this period of the year #5 Coco Milk 55 days from seed Sadly there Is just a picture but the difference from the last time is noticeable Nice bud forming but not so much in the middle of the plant so i did a bit of lollipopping,i will continue cutting the internal sites at least for a week until her stops the stretching phase Resin fountain didn't open yet but the top bud started to smell like milk and coconut ,just like her name,never smelt something like this from a plant #6 apricot auto 52 days from seed So small compared to the others but the smell i now becoming something awesome Seems to have no problem with any kind of insects and some pistils are fading yet I do not know how much to wait on her because started to flower so soon,i think/hope 2 more weeks at least #4 #7 medium gorilla z Bud 14/09/2025 Took a bud in the middle of the plant that splitted in two,i wet trimmed the little one and the big i will let dry slowly Trichomes are 60% milky and the rest more clear than amber,hope 16/09 i will see more amber and milky ones but i will cut her down in every scenario No frostbanger samples as her Is ready with lots of milk and amber Crossing fingers guys next update will be harvest,we're at the end of this journey 🤟🤟

⭐ TrolMaster tracking ⭐ I started to track my crop during week 15, when I got the Tent-X TCS-1 by TrolMaster. First impression was: this is too professional for me, I can't handle setting it up and using it well. Then I started reading some posts on Instagram, I visited their site and in 5 minutes my cultivation experience took a huge step forward with disarming simplicity, I couldn't believe it. I have uploaded tracking videos from the TrolMaster app for each week from the 15th to the 19th, as well as the two weeks of drying stage. ⭐ Controller Chronicles ⭐ Day after day I appreciated the clarity and precision for data, access to all settings and instant readings by connecting a WIFI router to the controller's LAN port. I loved the possibility to dim my lamps remotely, or even automatically based on the temperature in the box! 🌱 GERMINATION (2 days) Seeds in a glass of EC 0.4 tap water for 10 hours, then in root riots and under the lamp. They sprouted after 48 hours from dry seed. 🌿 GROWING STAGE (10 weeks and half) I decided to give these plants a long vegetative growth and this allowed me to do a lot of training on both. Starting from the 4th veg week I started with defoliation sessions every two weeks, for a total of four during the entire vegetative phase. The last defoliation was done a couple of days before the switch, in order to allow the lower parts of the plant to get as much light as possible. Furthermore I did Topping on week 6, cutting the apical branch, then on week 8 I did Topping again on several sites, as well as SuperCropping on the highest branches to make the canopy uniform. The light cycle I used is 18/6 and the last two veg weeks I lowered the light hours to 16/8 first and 14/10 then. During the veg stage I made 4 DWC change, PH was always between 5.5 and 6, about EC I started with 0.6 and was 1.4 on the last veg week. 🌸 FLOWERING STAGE (9 weeks) I started this phase after 36 hours of darkness, I then changed the DWCs solution (adding a flowering stimulator). Then I mounted the ScrOG-net about 50 cm from the base of the plants and I wove the phenotype #1 through the net occupying at least 60% of the available space; the phenotype #2 stretched shortly after the switch and I used the net only to widen the central branches. They showed the pre-flowers two weeks after the switch, then I made two defoliations on week 3 and 5 flo. During the last four weeks of flowering (weeks 6-9) I simply paid attention to the PH-EC levels to provide the roots with optimal conditions. I then kept the TEMP-RH-VPD-PPFD values ​​under control and this also thanks to the Tent-X controller by TrolMaster which allows me to provide optimal conditions also above. I chopped them when trichomes were about 85% milky and 15% amber. During the flowering stage PH was always between 5.8 and 6.2, about EC I started with 2 and was 2.3 on the last week before flush. ✅ HARVEST - From dry seed to harvest: 140 days (2 days germination + 75 days veg + 63 days flo). - Chopped after 4 days flush and 48 hours in dark; - Wet trim, removed fan leaves. ✅ DRYING STAGE - Time: 14 days; - Average: 20° C - 50% RH. - After that I made a dry trim, removed branches and sugar leaves. ⚖️ DRY WEIGHT - Phenotype #1: 230 gr buds + 25 gr larf; - Phenotype #2: 105 gr buds + 50 gr larf. So, the overall dry weight is: 335 gr buds + 75 gr larf. ✅ CURING STAGE - Curing is done after 30 days with Boveda 62%.

Light schedule was switched to 12/12 it's been a week now and pistils and starting to show on main cola. *I trimmed the fan leaves and bud sites on the very bottom of the plants on each branch. I took a few cuttings 😊 However I did not trim the top halfs of the bottom branches because they are somewhat even with the main tops now. * The cuttings I took were put in zip lock bags in the crisper drawer of the fridge and will be rooted around harvest time (this is an experiment) I'm trying to keep the cuttings in stasis to avoid wasting space and more money on a mother tent. * I moved my lights farther up and dimmed them so they can stretch a little. I will turn them back up when there is adequate bud development. That's all for now.

This week started with the last feedings with Top Bud (1 ml/l) and after that, flushing time... The yellowing appeared at the end of the week, and the 3 pointed leaves deteriorated faster as normal leaves so when this started the plant lost it easily and fast. The colas are getting bigger each day, carbohydrates and enzymes full dose (TopCandy 2ml/l), until harvest, as this product is recommended until the end... Added micro vita to clean ethe soil and roots, not much, like 2-3 grams No bugs, fungus or other pests at the moment. Flushing schedule: -Water-/-TopCandy-/-Water-
