OK, im doing an update now becouse my breakup cake is going tranny!!(hermie) I already have noiticed she was not growing as strong .. but u can blame that on anything , especially when growing outdoor.. but this morning i saw that she was g(r)oing 'bananas'!😢 I have put her aside from the rest (in the back of garden) but think gonna have to terminate her asap!..(and i will, right after this post👍) The weed she will give will be filled with seeds and those seeds will be hermies too, so wothless.. and if i dont throw her away quick she can infect the rest. So goodbye breakup cake..😢 who wants to eat a cake when they are breaking up anyway..😒 (just hiding my pain with lame humour 😳) happy growing for all ✊

This brings the Journal up to speed. So going to start the 48 hour FLush this upcoming Sunday as well as going to move it to 48 hours of light insted of 48 hours of darkness. Then straight into the Freeze dryer to bring it down to 60% humidity in the bud and then to the curing jars. Going to be Timber 2 days into Week 9 of FLower. 1/20/2023 Week 8 (Day 5)- Flower- Day 107 overall T - 2 days until start 48 hour Flush T - 2 days until Start 48 hours of Light T - 4 days until TIMBER!!! 1/22/2023 Week 8 (Day 7) -FLower- Day 109 Overall Flush Day and 48 hours of Light. I subscibe to Dr. Bruce Bugbee's suggestion that production is under light instead of under darkness so I no longer do 48 hours of Darkness, I go 48 hours of light before Chop, sending my plants on a marathon run before I Cut. Here is Dr. Bruce on basics of lighting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID9rE5JewVg T-2 days until TIMBER

D57. All good in the tent. Both plants going well. There's a video for the banana blaze for you this week!

The first week has gone well and now we are looking at week 2. Good strong growth right now and is looking great. My goal over the next weeks is to get this guy ready to be trained and ready for flower!

Wedding cheesecake FF by Fast Buds Germination, days: 3 Vega (18/6), days: 35 Flowering (12/12), days: 64 Total, days: 101 Ec 2.5 (Athena bloom, Fade, Cleanse, Balance) Ph 6.1 Red 100% Blue 25% UV 20% DLI ~32 T. Day: ~25C T. Night: ~21.5C Humidity: ~57% T.leaf: 24.5C Week progress. Two slow plants are still lagging behind, the video shows what a variety of phenotypes, it is very difficult to grow. I plan to harvest in a week, afraid that if I'll do not cut then buds will start to turn yellow. I probably won't keep the two lagging plants longer because the box is needed for drying. The smell is similar to sweet strawberries.

Several issues stabilizing the pH, but otherwise nothing special – the grow is progressing well. Waiting for the flowers

She got defoliated and feeding goes up now 1ml/l calmag 2ml/l floranova bloom Ph between 6 and 6.5

Week 5 defoliated a little but not much , there getting sticky and the smell is getting really strong now with a smell of oranges and pungent weed , you can see the trichomes forming all over the plants , they look similar at this point to super lemon haze and are stretching like it too.

Thanks for dropping by and welcome to another exciting update :P Finished manifolding and continuing LST. Transplanted into final 7 gallon pots on day 35. Mixed my own soil and let it cook for a month, slurry test is 6.4ph and 400ppm. Lots of work but I think the plants are liking it....so far so good, will be flipping soon. Stayed tuned and happy gardening 🌱

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... Tropicanna poison... Nice plant well done Sweet Seeds.... Little beauty sex appears by the pistils are coming out so I assume strech is ending soon :) All good look at her fertilization happnes every 2nd day by the mix above and the ratio. Let's see.... She is promising haha :)

Day 67 F14 2/7/2021 Watered plants with nutes at 6pm Day 70 F17 2/10/2021 Watered the plants with nutes at 4pm Day 73 F20 2/13/2021 Watered at 4:20pm no nutes

Day 100 - Mazar is lookin good.... she's into flower and the feeding has stabilized... it's almost bonzai size, haha Feeding her daily now, 1-2lts of nutrified/crystallic/particulates..... topped up, she's 6.2 PH / 1500 ppm, (the particulates are garden variety blood bone fertilizer, just add a little sprinkle in the tank) the neuts are same, nutrified, and impressed with the results of both the base set and the whole range, crystalic is unbelievable, it brings out a beautiful deep shiny green...... 👍👍

Greetings Rastamans, as you can see my girl is getting thicker and is growing weekly. Every used fertilizers have very good results. Slowly aproaching the time of harvesting, This is evidenced by the trichomes as well as the timing of the flowering cycle. I believe that the harvest from this plant will be great. Use of the necessarry techniques at the right period of times gave me the results that you see yourselves. It is the last day of lighting. It will be in dark for 36hrs. Also today defoliation will take its place and I have already splited main stalk. hope you get enjoyment and also knowledge from my diaries. Wish you all good luck. Yours trully Rastagrow

2 Girls 1 Cup week 9? Short term memory loss is a m'fer... *edit* i have talked directly to quite a few suppliers/vendors/etc... and i can tell you FastBuds is a great company to do business with. im not licking boots here... i paid for my beans, and am loving these FastBuds genetics so far. JUST LOOK AT IT! a little short, but i think thats my fault from around the day 21ish mark if ya look back in the diary. i told myself i wasnt going to run any more autos, unless it was some odd occasion. but IF i do in the future... it WILL be FastBuds. unless this pink runtz i have ends up being an auto, and if it is.. im going to off the fucker lol. Day 56- GC is trying to catch up. I think stabbing the main helped a lil lol. Few random plucks on WG tonight, and don't even want to start on GC for now. May clean it up a bit later depending on how the back feels. It's got a ton of branches that are going to be too close REAL soon. Kinda f'd GC off over a week ago, and said I'd run it again in the future to make up for it. So not too pressed on how it looks, as long as it stays alive until WG chopping day. Atleast it wasn't a male 🤣. Anyway, bumped the girls up to the "aggressive" mid bloom GHE feed. Using TAP water to reduce the amount of calmag needed since mine has N in it.. Breakdown as follows: 5gal TAP water - 137ppm 15mL calmag - up to 252ppm 10mL hydroguard Micro- 33mL Grow- 33mL Bloom- 47.5mL RES total after PH correction - 818 @ 5.91. ============================================================================================= Day 57- I REALLY need to cut back GC... like yesterday... backs been hurting something fierce, and I'm out of my medicine of choice ATM. few random plucks on WG today. may make my way in there again later and start hacking away at GC. will update pic if I do. They're both liking aggressive feed, maybe a touch too heavy on the N though. *edit* 🎶oops, i, stabbed it again...🎶 lol. still feel there's a branch that's gotta go. Started pulling WG out some to help expose lowers. Need more garden wire for sure ============================================================================================= Day 58- cut back GC even more.. we'll keep it alive, but I'll make sure it doesn't block the beloved WG. remember, there will be a list of things I learned I did WRONG in this experiment and will share at the conclusion. Trimmed up WG little bit later in their morning. Top view pic is after the small defol. Some fans only had the middle finger snipped, to be on the safe side. Progress seems slow on WG atm, but it's getting ready to fatten up and mature. ============================================================================================= Day 59- i just cut back GC AGAIN!!! like HALF of its branches, and cut all the tops to the same length before snapping todays pic. after comparing 58 to 59's pic... it STILL looks like it grew.. WTF... that things confused ASF or something... just dont herm on me... WG finish is right around the corner.. a few weeks... hang in there GC... hang in there... ive been topping off with 80% strength nutes and RO water, and the EC has remained pretty consistent. may bump em up one more time for WG next week to help fatten her up some. right before we dial it all back for the end. WG already looking pretty frosty, and the weatherman is predicting some more in the next weeks. *edit* added a night vid to show my WG defol struggles. Its easier to see why the foliage looks so thick and it needs a trim when lights on when you see lights off.. We're down to a few fans towards the bottom to help out down there. Rest are connected to bud sites, and are limited. May need to add a small fan blowing up WG skirt soon. ============================================================================================= Day 61- nothing really to report. tried to kill the ice probe, and put frozen 1L bottle (in 12hr rotations) to see how it performed. i think 61.2 is a little too cold for my liking, and one morning i woke the temp was over 71.. the roots are messing with the flow and the water isnt getting chilled as much with the probe. problem ive been facing for the last week or so. ice probe back in, and warming up the tent with its exhaust again.. should fab up a duct system for a 3d printer... ideas... tinkercad here we go.. ============================================================================================= Day 62- kinda feel bad for leaving GC out of the shot yesterday. Since she's riding along in this experiment... added her back today. WG is starting to phase 2. Her finish is coming within the next 2-3 weeks I'm guessing. Maybe 4? We'll see what tricomes say when the time gets closer. ============================================================================================= Been offered a cut off a custom strain that looks and tastes AMAZING! i know i may have mentioned pink runtz or amnesia lemon next... but i dont think i can pass up this opportunity.. will mention more about it, its name, etc etc when the time gets nearer.. As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow experiment. Link to YT vid of the day 27 on timelapse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJO-eTeyyEU

Maybe one of the biggest autoflowers in soil? Thanks to Fast Buds for this experience. I think all the love I gave to her really paid out :D Thanks for following the diary, happy growing ✊
