Week 7 is over. They are more than ready for flowering. In 3-4 days I'll have free bloom tent and will transfer them there and flip to 12/12. Most of them are doing very good - slight VPD issues but will be corrected. Strawberry Cough still the biggest even after double topping and bending. Still looks weak-ish though. Stems and branches are very flexible comparing to other plants. Grandpa's Cookies #6 are a failure. I'll see but I probably will discard it. It's very underdeveloped - small, slender, willowy. Leaves are still weird - it didn't grow out of it.

Explosive growth through the week, flipping to flower at the end of this week as plants have reached their 2foot marker. 2 foot tall is my limit for vegetive growth as the plants become unmanageable beyond that.

The first grow this summer was the finest i have ever produced however, the shit got moldy and i could have prevented that had i known hi heat and humidity makes it happen. You never think it will happen to you untill it does. Critical purple and gorilla glue just beautiful buds 100% worthless. So i got the 2 barneys farm seeds from a neighbor and i believe i let these 2 down. I just finished a heavy watering harvest and forgot these young ones werent drinking the way the last ones were so i over watered and maybe theres some nute lock out going on. I thought of just digging them out and examining the roots and possibly some attempt at root surgery but these are freaky deaky autoflowers and nobody can predict what these fuckers may or may not do. So, if its 80 and 50% humidity or less, they go in the yard if the sun is out. At night i check for bugs and critters and put them back in the 3x3 with the marshydro tsw2000 which is about 400 watts for a sleepless night of fake sun then repeat to death do us part! I hope i dont bring some shit into my tent from outside. I had a bad nightmare or more of a dillusion that i saw a shrew running across the silver floor. Being perpetually stoned will make you fuck up the whole grow. I have to admit i had 5 different strains in jars, labeled, dated notes etc..plus i can always look back here to see what i did but i took some from each and put a bit of each into a bag and wrote on them with marker the details. I was going to gift them to the guy who gave me the seeds to check it out and give me an honest opinion. Havent heard a word from the guy but whatever. Bottom line, i mixed up the lids that had the notes and mixed them all together by accident somehow. I have enough left to survive another harvest so at least i got that going for me and some seeds hopefully on there way. Excited about new seeds. I have enough decent lights to put my self in a good spot but need 2 more tents though i have a closet grow area set up that i hate to say does as good as good a job with no tent. Plus i sort of like the comforting light leaking out from the edges of the tarp i havec covering the opening and the whir of the fans. I have been growing 24/7 light schedule on auto flowers for 3 years now and it has never been a problem. Only thing i have to focus on is the 1000 different things you need to pay constant attention to and i have a serious problem with drying/curing. Everything ends up not smelling awesome at all. I keep 50% humidity and 70 degrees and adjust as they dry as different strains and grows just dry differently and thats it so there is no exact science but a pretty good outline to follow. However after watching video 2500 and looking more importantly at other grows right here, i believe the fact that i have been drying for 4 years in a closet with stagnent air and absolutley no ventilation at all. Thats the only thing i can think of thats seperating me from a green blazer with gold buttons. So whenever these 2 bitches decide to treat me better, i will be xtra attentive to the dry. esp with ventilation and of course i have discovered a new chemicle that i think i absolutley need. its called terpinator and im hoping that will give ne that 5 star bag apeal everybody wants. meantime, i have plenty of this shit that doesnt smell much, though its definatley weed when you smell it burn and its all mixed together and its a pretty trippy high though i cheat for some variety on occasion and hit the dispencary but the quality just isnt there anymore. I dont know if it ever was. I was getting much better weed that was home grown hydro bud and the shit was 250 for a freaking quarter ounce! 250! Top shelf best shit ever though. Thats my freaking goal in life. I have to clean the freaking bathroom as my moms comming over and she walks right past the weed and goes straight to the freaking bathroom and makes all sorts of claims about a 50 year old man who grows weed and keeps house like a 15 year old. Thing is, you really need to keep the environment as clean as possible and i just thought of something horrible. The bags i have waiting for the new seeds are all mixed up and i have no idea which ones had the moldy buds in them. Ill ask a grow question but nobody will know for sure and the safest bet will be to sterilize the tent after i finish up my Barneys Farm abortion, which may still turn out some decent buds, the fuckers refuse to die!!!!! and buy new grow bags and just start over to be safe. Or can i bring them to a laundrymat and wash and dry them? Ill ask.

I freaking love this plant. She's got dense buds already but she's throwing out pistils like no tomorrow. I'm curious to see how much bigger she's going to get in the next few weeks. Only a little over halfway done. She's already having trouble staying up right. I'm having to balance branches on other branches and using the ratchet hangers to keep the mains upright

And this is how we successfully open week 9 - After fermenting a dose of PK compost tea at the end of last week, I poured it extensively. As always, he did them very well. They also need significantly more water again. I have now also increased the humidity a bit, because there is currently drier indoor air in the room of the cultivation area. Let's see how long I leave my Sweet Seeds ladies. I'll decide that at short notice. Sour Jealousy will then be able to enjoy all the space to bloom at her disposal. Both Sweet Seeds now only get purified and aerated water and only enriched with enzymes. It is now time to signal to both to use up their reserves. After all, their genetically pre-programmed life cycle is significantly shorter than that of sativa-dominant strains - for example, Sour Jealousy from Fast Buds. She is only now really starting to flower, while the indica dominant strains are moving towards the glorious end. I have also already been able to positively determine how practical and thought through to the end 2 Sanlight panels really make sense. I am not primarily concerned with more power through the lighting, but also and above all, I am concerned with the homogeneous illumination at 11 degrees inclined positioning of the solar panels. And to have the opportunity to meet the different growing conditions individually by adjusting the heights of both panels. Of course, I will be able to strive for much higher performance in the large Homebox Ambient with CO 2 and both lamps, but area coverage is the be-all and end-all for me. Lamps currently operate at 60% each. That's definitely enough. Because 2 x EVO 4 - 80 means to me: Precision in the form of light - a tool that you learn to use. Everything before didn't convince and satisfy me nearly as impressively as Sanlight. Also the advantage of being able to operate your lighting system from the outside, via Bluetooth, yes that is really very important, practical and innovative. It makes things so much easier... Sweet Seeds - brand new: „Jealousy Z XL“ I can’t wait to give it a try next run… Super noble presentation, in my opinion. There are many reasons for an emotional attachment to a product. But one stands out in particular: the desire to design, personalize, individualize something or - in other words - the desire to own something unique and feel special as a result. Scientists have found that our buying behavior is shaped by emotions. A person does not buy a product, but an emotional feeling. Many thanks to Sweet Seeds! 🙏 I also feel the feeling that Dark Devil gives me - as a noble high. I associate the turn with a noble, very effective and multifaceted indica dominant weed from Sweet Seeds. Creative work only works in the 1st part of the turn - haha, because then the coma phase begins with subsequent binge eating! But even during sports I was in the vaporizer with Dark Devil and it supported me mightily during training. Maybe it depends on the activity at the time of consumption, haha I find it very fruity in taste and smell. Very sweet terpene spectrum. And not very top-heavy. A wonderful body high. Worries and fears - as if blown away… Some here on growdiaries describe meticulously exactly how they give what, when and how much of it to the plant, etc. I prefer to keep a diary for my passion in a different way. With passion and feeling. I feel my plants. And talk to them. They also listen to chilled music. The Kobe beef in Japan is even massaged to classical music. ;-)) I think such information is only useful for a run to those who do it exactly the same way, under the same conditions with almost the same phenotype. That is almost impossible. And not necessary either. I have to learn to read plants. Their signs are pointing. Become sensitive to it. If I know why and how something happens, then I also know how to keep something like this alive. And what it takes. And why. So let's see what we have to do today. In any case, Lady Jealousy is being driven to the hairdresser today. Yes, we're doing beauty and wellness spa today, haha. She's so busy with branching, I'll give her a helping hand. She has developed incredibly. And has an unusually long breath. Comparative: She looks like a farm animal to me. In other words, what it was bred for. Very strong and healthy adult. Then bloom efficiently and productively. And that's the fascinating thing for me. The breeder creates all parameters here to perfection. Even though I don't particularly like the marketing of Fast Buds anymore, I have to admit without envy: "I've never experienced that before." The phenotypes are absolute warriors, from another planet. Marketing is debatable. No problem. But I can only marvel at these plants and their quality. Unfortunately, too much turnover often spoils the core vision of a successful company. …PK is on the way! Addendum about the one, Lady Dark Devil 😈, which had to be harvested too early: And yet: Dark Devil gives me a deep inner satisfaction in my existence. Nothing upsets me. Nothing can disturb me, because I am one, with myself and my environment. I can only feel gratitude for that. It gives me this broad, generous sense of inner peace. For me, inner peace means balance, equanimity, even-mindedness, harmony, and stability. And that's exactly what a noble special effect means to me. When a weed variety can develop medicinal qualities. When THC simply has a more complex effect on my organism, than just the usual power high. And if, a plant that hasn't even had the opportunity to reach its full potential, can do that, it has passed all the requirements of a cannabis variation, with flying colors. And on top of that, she seems incredibly graceful and elegantly feminine to me. It's just something very special: She's a Sweet Seed! Oh I see, I'm writing a real diary here... 😜 But I love that. I love grow diaries. Look at the brave girl. She forgives me for topping, training, defoliating and in the end: that I have to kill her. But I know then for sure, that she knows, that I really loved her. And the fascinating homogeneity. Totally instructive. It behaves like a photoperiod phenotype, unbelievable but true! on 14.09.2024 I moved her to the grow room with the others. So it's almost 9 weeks. I'm curious to see if she holds out. But I think so. It seems incredibly energetic and relatively relaxed to me. I'm mentally very busy with her right now. Every morning I comb through her leaf picture. Make impressions of the smallest changes. I currently have Pk boosters or tea with her every third day, alternating. And in between only purified water with enzymes. Dark Devil and Big Devil I let slowly starve and then die of thirst. They consumed the last booster 4 days ago. She (Sour Jealousy) currently swallows 2.5 liters per day. That's really a lot. And in the morning she wants to have something again. I think the lamps tickle out their full potential. I meticulously defoliated her and now she stands happily and despite all the exertions, like a star in the sky. My star. 🌟 Sour Jealousy is really crazy, I can say that. And the coolest highlight will be: Lady Jealousy will soon be able to enjoy the whole place in the sun for the "grande finale". The smell of the two Sweet Seeds totally upsets me! I would like to bite into it. Its killing me softly. Very few leaves have a few dark small spots or dots at the tips of the leaves. (Sour Jealousy) Many thanks to BerrySweetHighhat. I think the same. Will probably be calcium. She gets this from the Bio PK Booster. I keep calm and don’t panic, it’s organic. ;-)) Sour Jealousy: Today I cleaned out small shoots again & defoliated them from below up. I think there were still too many young little shoots. Now everything should be distributed quite well. We'll see. Tomorrow I will probably harvest both Sweet Seeds. Hello everybody! Today it's Dark and Big Devil's attack. It's about time. Lady Jealousy will be allowed to use the full 0.64 sqm of cultivation area for herself from today. Take care & bee 🐝 positive 🐝… to bee continued.

Week 16 (Harvest) 1-2 Drying day 1 Temperature: 24.5 to 19.5 degrees Humidity: 65% to 50% The girls are ready to be harvested! Before chopping them down, i took a lot of pictures. I was able to remove most of the soil from the Biscotti #2 to see the rootball. I hang the plants as a whole to have a slow dry. The exhaust fan is on setting 4. 2-2 Drying day 2 Temperature: 19.1 to 17.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 57% I changed the exhaust fan to setting 2 because setting 4 was a bit high in my opinion. 3-2 Drying day 3 Temperature: 19.9 to 18 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% Today i checked up on the drying plants, and i see there are some buds touching other buds, so i chopped the plants in half. The buds are still to the main stem for a slow dry, but are hanging more spreaded out to prevent any budrot issues. I changed the exhaust fan to setting 1, as someone told me that it was enough air movement for drying. 4-2 Drying day 4 Temperature: 19.8 to 18.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% 5-2 Drying day 5 Temperature: 19.9 to 18.8 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% Today i checked on the drying plants and the buds are shrinking a bit, they are getting a little bit crispy on the outside aswell, I hope they wont dry as fast, and i aim for a 12/14 day dry. For the next grow i already germinated 2x Chemdog (GreenHouseSeeds) 2x Gorilla Kush (GanjaFarmerSeeds) and 1x Deep Candy CBD (GreenHouseSeeds) And I have some upgrades planned aswell! I bought a autopot kit with 4 15L pots, this way the plants will have water and air 24/7 whenever they need it. I have seen alot of great results using autopots so i am very exited to try it out! And I bought a small camera so i can shoot some weekly timelapses! Feel free to Follow me if you like to get notified for the upcoming diaries! Thanks for checking out this diary, peace! (More harvest updates coming in the next couple of days!) Huge thank you to Zamnesia for the seeds, and Plagron for the collection of nutrients, and the opportunity to participate in the POWERBUDS contest! It was a fun and learningful adventure!

Honestly, we had to built a greenhouse We figured it out, temperature outside after 10AM was getting real hot and balcony window got enough sunlight but seems like they want more, that's why we installed more CFL lights to increase light intensity and since balcony window wasn't working quite well we noticed at the very first week some of them where stretching a little and thank God we noticed early otherwise our plant would've grow leggy, phew! Must say temperature, Humidity and light are things you really need to balance otherwise they really get messy They are completely aware of their surroundings, it's amazing how they actually are, great plant but needs lot of care and attention if you wanna get good harvest of course! Please fill in any comments, tips, advise, more than happy to hear you folks Day 9 We decided to feed the ladies, they got 171ppm and 200ml of water Day 10 Decided that the rooftop is a better place In the morning time Day 11 They looking good Day 12 Wanted to give them more sun light, placed them close to the balcony window from 4pm til sun it's gone! Then they go to CFL for the rest of the night until they have to go to sleep Day 13 Decided to replace her pot for a bigger one, since she's growing so fast I don't want to mess with the roots, so it's better to do it now before it grows around.... Also fed them today with 1ml Flora Nova grow mix with 1 water Gallon so total PPM was 314, tomorrow they start the 3rd week so I wanted to give them what they call "a boost" on their early vegetative stage. That was only 200ml each And followed by a 200ml plain water with a little runoff at the end to make sure the nutrients gets all well mixed up and she can absorb it avoiding extra nutrients.... Let's see how she does this week tho! Day 14 She seems to handle just fine the nutrients we gave her and she's growing fast and looking good

first day after a 12h night cycle, still have a big gnat problem. gonna go buy new bacteria, stickies and DT Earth. the grow shop just let me know that they got it back in stock but i haven't been able to find nematóides. doesn't seem to be a common practice here. i haven't watered them in a few days. the top soil is bone dry but the plants don't look like they're requesting water just yet so i think it's a good time to lay down the new dt earth and new yellow traps to see if we can kill the remainder. gonna grab some flowering ferts too while I'm at it. Update: got a bigger pot and some supergrow soil, only had time to transplant one of them today. but I decided to after them one more cycle before i do the DT earth. update: dt earth added, seems to be alright but not quite dry enough

11/1 In the water - bottled 6.0 - under the eye of the vicious Woodstock on the heated seedling mat. 2 Green Crack going into 5 gallons of washed and buffered coco 60% and perlite 40% using cocotek A and B nuets No nuets of course 11/2 On the paper towel, all look cracked on quick inspection 11/3 Cracked no tails ... at all... getting nervous... hate this part 11/4 Still no tails, the two Fastberry have already sprouted and been planted. Nervous again lol 11/5 Still no tails, going to drop two more later though Ive no confidence in them at this point. update: Holding off dropping two more, getting some activity (not breathing easy yet) from the first two. Seems my last ditch effort of a 3% peroxide solution soaking the seeds MAY be working. Wait one more night 11/7 Planted to very very sad germs out of habit more than hope on em. H2O2 works just wasnt much more to be done on em. Dropped two more into the water from the second pack of seeds, maybe it matters. 11/9 Tails on both, planted in coco. Looks like that first set of seeds is ... questionable :) 11/12 Finally some green! One is up nothing from the others yet. At least I have a grow now :D 11/13 One is up fairly strong the other is up but not looking as well may be a problem here just watching and waiting. Calling this Day 1 , will name later if things go well 11/14 New pics, both up looks like I have a grow Ladies of SciFi... Meet Ripley and Tara Going to carefully poke around in those first two pots that didnt sprout. See If I can learn anything. Need to figure out how to prevent that kind of thing. 11/15 New Pic. They growing well now. Found on the two other pots the seeds never did anything after planting which is what I expected to be honest. Afraid that seed pack is a no-go Feeding mix - 2 cups at 5.9 of each, .6ml CocoTek A & B, Fish Sh!T to runoff until transplant 11/16 New Pic and Vid The GC is playing a game of catch-up with the Fastberry Feeding every day now will go to twice daily when large enough. 11/19 Day 6 Really liking the coco coir. two feedings a day at 5ml cocotek A&B and 4 ml Fish Sh!t / gal at 6.0 Meter got in - TDS of the above feed is 575 with tap water being 210 giving a nuet level of 365 well within seedling and early veg limits, so plenty of room down the road. Will be working it up as I feel right 11/20 End of week 1 ... heh finally :) Put a lot of thought and study into this and adjusted the feeding. This in response to some slight lightening at the leaf tips suggesting nuets too high. Water TDS 220 ( gonna have to get a filter soon) so subtracting that I have the solution at 230 ppm (@2.5ml/gal cocotek AB with 2ml Fishsh!t which has little impact on TDS ) PH to 6.1. 450 ppm without adjustment which was my real target here. Fertigating twice daily to 5% runoff, transplanting when roots start poking out. Gentlest way I can think of to try and catch these babies up a little.

17.12.2021 65 giorni di vegetativa dal clone. La talea è stata presa da una pianta madre in piena fioritura e fatta rivegetare. La struttura della pianta è fantastica, cresce cespugliosa ma con un allungamento più vicino a sativa. Con 6 piante il box sta completamente esplodendo! Questa settimana faccio lo switch e le mando in fioritura🌻

Let's remember, in week 6 one of my king's tart had been broken in 2 because of the tension due to my bad LST. This plant grows much taller than the others. I'm trying to lower his height by doing HST. Currently she does not seem to complain about it. I preferred to remove my net this week, to more easily access my plants and water them. I hope the branches will hold I cut a lot of leaf this week. I hear different opinions that say it's beneficial others not... At least it will have the advantage of lowering the humidity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Water: tap water at 300 PPM, I add 0.7G of Hybrid powder and 0.3g of booster PK+ per liter to reach 950PPM and I adjust the PH to 5.8. I watered daily until water drained from the pot (to release nutrients from previous waterings) and I take a 3-4 day watering break to let it dry out before resuming a daily watering schedule. -Daytime temperature: 22-26°C -Night temperature: 20-24°C -Humidity: 50-75% ( Too high but it's hard to lower it... I need advice please contact me if you have :) ) -Lamp: Mars Hydro FC3000. intensity 90% at 35cm from the top leaves -Room: Mars Hydro 100x100x180cm -Extractor: Mars hydro 402 CFM Max. power 3/10 -Substrate : 70% coco, 25% perlite, 5% vermiculite.

Day 58 - As you can see, buds are looking full but still looking like they want to go a bit longer, checking the trichomes frequently and seeing a lot of cloudy.. think i saw the first few ambers too. Any how, we shall keep going. Flush time soon. Day 62 - Looking good, smelling better.. really fruity and sweet. Seems ripe too. Feeds lowered and a little flush. Buds are rock hard, very dense and sticky. Looking forward to harvesting. She will be ready by day 63, but I'll see weather or not ill let her go longer. Stay tuned. Day 64 - trichomes ready, little flush and shes ready for the chop. Beautiful smelling strain and easy to grow. Very hard dense gassy and sweet buds. Once dry and cure, will be back with a little update.

Sidecar Strain description from breeder: Genetic Background: Strawberry#13 x Mimosa Type: Feminized Sativa 60% Indica 40% THC: CBD: Yield Indoor : gr/m2 Height Indoor: 0 - 0 cm Flowering time: 8 - 9 weeks ( 58 - 65 days) Aroma: 
Effect: Expectations and training method: I know these genetics are a bit delicate so I’ll be taking things very easy. The breeder suggests topping and training the branches because she can grow fast and tall. By what I’ve seen from the local growers, she can produce some savory chunky buds which is what I’m aiming for. I’ll follow the breeder’s suggestion and Top/LST which is what I’ll be doing to almost all my other strains as well on this run. As for the yields I’m not expecting much given the numbers I got from local growers. No more than 40 grams per plant but always aiming for more. I’ve already smoked this strain grown by the breeder and other local breeders, which is what made me want to grow it myself. I expect nothing but trichomes and terps from these ladies. Equipment used in this cycle: Tent: Dutch Masters 120x240x220cm Lights: 1 x EasyGrow S800v2 1 x Mars Hydro TSW2000 1 x Mars Hydro FC3000 Ventilation: Garden HighPro - ProFan TT Extractor Fan - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProActiv Carbon Filter - 150mm Garden Highpro - ProFan Oscilating Clip Fans - 25cm Blauburg - Inline Fan - 125mm Humidifier: Garden Highpro - Humipro Digital Humidifier - 4 liters Pots: Garden Highpro 11L Fabric pots Medium: Biobizz Light Mix Nutrients: Grotek - Mycrorizo Plagron- Alga grow, Alga Bloom, green sensation and royal sugar. PH down Calmag Measuring instruments: Hygrometer/Thermometer - Govee: EC Meter - HM Digital: COM-80S Hydrotester PH Meter - Vanguard Hydroponics Happy Growing! 😃

Well, I've been comparing this with similar strains, untill now, i think she sugar kush is less profitable when using LST, but it works good, and the plant is nice and low
