[ Information ] For all grow information, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] (Flower) Day 1 - Light intensity increased to 65%. C02 increased to 1300ppm average. Day temp/humidity 85/70 (1-1.2VPD), night temp/humidity 75/65 (.8-1VPD). Fed a diluted compost tea mixture before lights on. Base water was R/O and tap water mixed lightly with silica and Tribus microbes. Tea was a mixture of Fish Hydrolysate, Bat Guano, Molasses, Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, and Earthworm Castings. 8 gallons of tea were added to 72 gallons of water mixture for an 80gal batch total. The batch was mixed for a half hour before feeding to the room. I did not PH or PPM test the mixture, organic material is hard to get an accurate PPM reading so the numbers are useless to me. I will be working to bring the lights to 100% power over this first week of flower. Day 4 - Light intensity increased daily, currently at 90%. Will raise to full power tomorrow. C02 increased to 1800ppm average. Temp and humidity for day and night are still the same. Lights were raised slightly to maintain 12 inches from canopy height, and a few growth nodes that were above the canopy got topped. Watered today with an 80gal (1.25gal p/pot) mixture, 10% tap 90% r/o water. 6.8 PH, 2.2ec. Foliar sprayed yesterday before lights off with a neem mixture for weekly IPM. Canopies are stretching relatively evenly, though I will be adding in support nets within a few days to help maintain the even spread. I've run this strain before so I'm fairly confident that I know what to expect during these few stretch weeks. Day 7 - Lights have been at 100% since day 5. C02 still 1800-2000ppm on average. Plants are stretching quickly into the lights, I have yet to readjust their height. The best growth usually happens when I do nothing, and I've done almost nothing the past couple days besides enjoy the unusually warm spring weather my area is currently experiencing. Watered today, 100gal (1.5gal p/pot) mixture, <1ec. Mainly an organic feeding for microbe health, also wanted a bit more runoff than normal due to the high ec feeding previously.

Cantaloupe haze needed a good flush brought runoff from 2000 ppm to 1100ppm will continue to monitor.

Waiting for first signs of life … While we are, I thought I’d give you a short explanation on the software’s graphics in case you did not follow my first diary. The one to the upper left, as its headline says, is the temperature graph. Most important line is the red one, showing the leaf temperature measured with an infrared temperature sensor. As there are no leaves yet, it is pointed towards one of the pot’s wall at soil level. Air temperature from a sensor that usually hangs around somewhere around top level is violet, and the grey line is the outside temperature close to the tent, helping the software to determine if a main blower action will effectively lower temperature. As I learned from the first grow a plant day that corresponds to the natural day can cause enormous gaps both to temperature and humidity, I inverted the plant day now, starting their night at 11 a.m. So after the first day temperature will only vary around 1.5 °C, which is of course due to the low light intensity too. Humidity graph on the upper right is quite crowded. Main line is the blue one, tent air humidity, which on this first day was between excellent 65 – 70% most of the time. For the moment humidifier is electrically disabled. There is quite some excess humidity on the tent floor and no reason to push this any further. Outside air humidity is grey again and taken from the same outside sensor that reports outside temperature. The soil humidity sensors are simple analogue capacitive sensors which have their flaws. I am interpolating their measurements to have a somewhat smoother reading, but as you can see from the turquoise humidifier reservoir reading (in legend named as plant soil hum 1), they can get confused when humidity is very high and start to report random numbers for some time. The most important graph for all growing stages is the lower left one, where the pink line meaning plant VPD should be inside the green optimum range for somewhat perfect conditions. This cannot be attained all of the time – dehumidifying isn’t as easy as humidifying –, but software tries its best to do so. Outside VPD is grey again. The last graph is more for amusement than anything else. The light intensity sensor is hard to position correctly, and everything you see about illumination and DLI (orange and green, plus grey for the accumulated 24 h DLI) should be taken with some spoonful of salt. Any resemblance to real world professional instrument readings can be considered purely coincidental. The violet line is the CO2 reading from such a sensor, and you can see that its tiny peaks correspond to even tinier black peaks at the bottom of the graph, reading TVOC values which in this case, once they will be more than possible measurement irregularities, can be interpreted as smell. ------- End of week 1: All seeds germinated. I wasn’t at home most of the time, and it turned out using the humidity sensor to monitor the humidifier’s tank wasn’t good for the stability of the system. Arduino crashed, so there are no pictures yet and no graphs to show. I have the feeling light was a bit low as the seedlings grew a bit tall, but with lights now up to 20% I guess this problem is fixed. More tomorrow when I have some more data to share. Even more end of week 1 (I extended this week to 9 days as I cannot tell when the seedlings started to show): Lights are at 40%, meaning 40 W in total. No reason to give them new water until next week. As some flies showed up from the BioBizz soil, I added 2 yellow cards. So far, everything in normal ranges. I’ll switch the control to grow phase soon which will raise the VPD slightly by 0.5 kPa. It’s interesting to see the CO2 level started to climb by 50% during their last night and has not come down to baseline afterwards. I restarted the app to check if the sensor had lost its calibration, but it still sits at around 660 ppm now.

Wonderful color😈 The smell is divine🤩 The trim was super easy & the buds are dense & super sticky👌

Day 28 flower, things are doing well, humidity and heat are stable, plucking off leafs as I go along now anything blocking bud sites. I'm on week 7 of the biobizz feed schedule full dose, these girls not showing any nute burn or stress so far either I could probably push them more. Day 33 from flip. Heat and humidity are under control. Sitting at 27°c and 40-47% humidity with lights on. And 20°c and 47% humidity lights off. Ph levels on feeds and watering is 6.5, there really loving the biobizz range and the marshydro tsl2000 combo. So today the plants are getting fatter and nice and dense. Its super sticky and stacking on trichomes. These 3 beans came from The same pack, and each one smells diffrent. Closest pheno is a really lemon citrus smell and its strong. Middle pheno is like a sherberty smell and really tickles the 👃. Pheno 3 at the back is like a lemon skunk, really pungent and its got the fattest buds so far too. Day 34 flower, Feeding molasses today in 6.5ph water, I will start the next week tomorrow and will be starting on week 8 of the bio bizz nutes schedule. Thanks for all your support so far. Keep on growing

7/20 Went over this morning to plants soaking wet and heavy rain. Went back around 4pm and plants actually look really good. The rain has stopped for a bit and the girls looked great. Apart from some septoria leaves I needed to defoliate on the first plant I treated. I also noticed a few others on other plants so it's spreading albeit slowly. I treated the three in the middle with their second dose of Plant Doctor at 3tsp/1gal. One gallon administered to each plant via root drench. I think I may treat the other plant showing signs with a diy Dr. Zymes using citric acid as the active ingredient. That way I Gould start treatment right away without having to rely fully on plant doctor. Plus it would kill any pests. Ive seen damage but the birds do a number on them. I dont want to spray my plants with a bunch of chemicals if I don't have too. I shouldve replaced the pallets and cleaned the cage better. I think I did a good job sanitizing as I have no wpm. Just this septoria I probably got when the lady mowing the lawn cut all tjis fucking grass and blew it in my pen, throwing bird seed and I'm sure tons of disease into my grow bags. I literally had to harvest a bunch if fucking sunflowers. It looked like my plants had been mulched. Just with small disease carrying shrubs. At some point some of this stuff has to be on purpose. You CAN'T be that stupid. A couple kushes in the back look hungry. I think I may need to up my feed. I've written to much. I'll keep this updated. Thanks if you made it this far. 7/21 I guess it rained last night. Oh well. It was blue skies for hours before dark. It must've rained late/early morning. I'm sure the app of plant doctor will be fine. Like I said I'm considering using citric acid as a foliar spray to help with the septoria and clean up any pests. I don't have enough pests to warrant spraying. I just don't want to put all my eggs in the plant doctor basket. Today is overcast and windy. The wind has really assisted in spreading this virus. I remove anything I see infected immediately and since these plants are reveges they have plenty of leaves. Plants are really stretching. I know I talk about the septoria a lot but realistically if someone looked through my garden they'd have a hard time spotting it. I don't want to exaggerate the problem but I don't like dealing with ANY fungus or molds.

Great week. Plants are ready to be harvested. Really nice plant . Great smell nice structure. Very frosty , really sticky very dense buds. Fast strain to grow, very enjoyable. Thanks everyone

D97 F50: what a week!!! I can't believe it, the plants are more and more fragrant, the flowers are bigger and bigger... I expected less than that! I started the flush with simple osmosis water, corrected with a PH of 6.1! I managed to increase the EC from 2.1 to 1.3, with about 4 liters per plant!! I was able to remove the excess water in the tank using a pump! I'm aiming for an EC between 0.1 and 0.5 for half of week 9, before letting them dry on the foot. In any case, there are fewer seeds in my flowers than I thought, I tried to remove a few seeds with tweezers, it worked for a few plants but the code red #1 didn't like it... some pieces of flowers dried a little and some trichromes matured faster!! I'm not touching anything anymore smells: Papaya Bang Bang #1: smells of exotic fruit candies, especially papaya, very deep and addictive!! a banger LA Vanilla cake #2: smell of gas with ripe fruits, very cali gelato Papaya bang bang #2: smell of exotic fruits on a very earthy background, a little og, it's not really what I was looking for but it looks interesting! I think it will be round in the mouth cherry gar see ya #4: smell of exotic fruit compotes on a very fresh background!! white runtz x Hollywood: a banger!! a very resinous runtz smell, almost rosin, with smells of lemongrass, ginger... I've never smelled that in my life!! code red #2: smell of tangy strawberry, simple, not so many smells in the background, almost a little citrus Code red #1: a banger too! a smell of strawberry syrup, cream, sugar, I can't take my nose off when I smell it B-45: smell of citrus, grapefruit, with a bug background that I love LA Vanilla Cake #1: very cali, gas, good gelato too, but without fruits no TCO for the last two weeks, or very light! I'll give you the recipe anyway in my flowering TCO, I put: - kelp hydrolysate - epsom salt - bat guano - mealworm guana - castor bean shell ash - palm ash - vermicompost - blackstrap molasses - elycitor -Yeasts Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Bottom right: LA vanilla cake #2 Bottom middle: Code red #2 Bottom left: Papaya bang bang #1 middle right: cherry gar see ya #4 clone middle: white runtz x Hollywood middle left: Papaya Bang Bang #2 Top right: Code red #1 Top middle: LA vanilla cake #1 Top left: B-45

These buds were giants, fat and sticky, the aroma of these plants was very robust with heavy aromas with subtle hints of citrus, fruity sweetness, with hints of sour diesel, I could swim in the smell, these buds just blew me away!

Starting to get lots of pistils, gave her a feeding without watering in between ( newbie mistake) so i think i gave her a little bit of nutrient burn

1 at top looks a bit weird Change Monday

The weak plant is a disaster but learning making the masters, right. The healthy plant is fantastic, smell well and flowers are growing.

Die Woche lief sehr gut, alle Pflanzen haben gute Fortschritte gemacht und sehen meiner Meinung nach auch gesund aus 😄 das Wachstum der beiden Z-ups ist nahezu identisch und wenn ich sie mit anderen diaries vergleiche, dann finde ich das Fastbuds mal wieder einen sehr soliden Strain rausgebracht hat. Von den Mandarin Panties gibt es wenig bildliche Dokumentationen, was einen Vergleich schwer zulässt, aber ich finde den Wuchs ganz schön. Mal sehen wann die Ladies in die Blüte kommen, ich gehe ja davon aus das sie diese Woche in die Transition gehen

flower week 8, 2nd week of flush and my 15th week of crappy sleep due to this VIVOSUN 4"high cfm fan. I would just get rid of it as it does not owe me anything (2 full grows) but I am planning on gifting my old complete set up to someone I know that's in need. and shit.... Spider Farmer never even got back to me....so my next grow will include my first HLG to supplement the Spider.... no contest this month due to...... well I gotta move. I don't think id be winning any contest but on the off chance I would.... address change. lol HAPPY FRIDAY

Well guys week 5 is complete and she looks to be doing fairly good! She is growing like a champ and right now im trying to figure out what to go to get my light higher, im growing in a closet so im hanging the light on the bar you would usually hang clothes and the canopy is about 6 inches from light surface and im sure she hasnt finished growing yet so i need to figure that out for a better grow. I'm also starting to see some new growth on the bottom branches have leaves that are slowly fading to yellow which makes me think maybe its not getting enough nitrogen? could be that once i flushed my soil from week 3 mistakes that i took out all of it and now it is lacking? I will keep an eye on it regardless but i am just curious what its doing and how i can fix it before it become a real big issue! That being said i am seeing tons of pistils pop up everywhere its actually quite amazing. I guess one thing i am curious of as well as one of the pistils on a calyx have turned orange im not sure what that means for me but ill be keeping my eye on it regardless! Hope you all enjoy this weeks update and i will make sure to keep updated further!
