Chugging along week six licking my wounds and biding my time all is well though I ain’t mad leasons learned no reason to cry over spilt milk

So this week the little gelatocake is on week 8 and is really starting to eat herself now, full of trichomes and smells like tutti fruity chewie sweets. Last week of nutes for her then mollases only. Week 7 for the othere gelatocake and shes starting to fatten up now as well as fade also. Babys have got big since re potting I will.bend them over later. Sherbert mimosa are still taking there time I think they are starting to get bigger 🤔🤣 I Will keep you updated lol. Happy growing guys 👌💪💚

Hey hey hey! What's up? The flowering has begin! This is so amazing 😍 I little bit defoliation and the tea has been changed as well. Keep flowering and waiting for the rocking buds 💪😂

So these Jiffy peat moss pellets are the absolute worst!!! I usually use rock wool cubes but I ran out and decided to try these stupid things again. They just get so water logged or so rock hard dry. It’s hard to keep them in the middle. I had to remove them from my cloning machine because they where just to water logged compared to when I use rock wool or clones in it. 2 of the 3 seedlings came up no problem after they dried out a bit and the third one took another day longer and needed so help getting her shell off. For watering, I’ve just been dunking them halfway into my cloning reservoir and letting them soak up water for a second then pulling them out. This seems to get them wet enough but not soaked. 24hrs or so later they are almost completely dry and I repeat. I’m afraid to let them dry rite up cause they get so rock hard, I can’t see that being good at all for the newly developing, delicate roots being formed. I will update some more pics later in the week when I get my starter 3gal DWC buckets built and going. Cheers 💨

Looking good so far

Thirsty girl drank 3/4 a gallon plain water,gonna brew some AACT, tonight, then add veganic special sauce after brewing 12 hours, and unleash my microbial army. Moohaha!😈

FastBuds - Gelato Auto x 1 Dry Weight - 2 ounce and 20.73 gram I can definitely see an increase in weight and yield from doing the mainlining technique I would normally get around 1.7 oz of an auto If I hadn't done any training and not lollypopped and defoilated the plant. Highly recommend this method to avoid clutter , little popcorn nugs and messy plants. I thought I lost a plant to herm but I could have been wrong as I seen a diary on here that looked very similar to the one I Isolated and it turned out OK. Smoked that one already and didn't hear any popping or cracking of seeds so she could have gone longer but I didn't wanna risk other plants turning. Nugs are rock solid! Gassy lemony smell! Tried one last night as a tester and it was niiiiiice! Will try and let the cure begin before I raid the jars lol Buzzing with results! This was also a sample from FastBuds so good! 🙌🍦🍦🍦🔥🔥🔥 👊

Happy with progress flipped the switch today

Very very sticky i had to change gloves every 2-3 buds!🤓 Delicious smell🤤

Big buds nice citrus smell well THC coated.

So, the nutrient lock is fixed, the humidity is under control, and these ladies are looking super vigorous. We will flip very soon as the stretch will fill out any holes in the SCROG net. We will also clear the bottom of these plants in the next day or 2, taking lots of clones and making sure we have that SOG. We have introduced some workers, 10 praying mantis to keep an eye on any pests.. the video of the mantis is from another grow, not the OG kush Light is about 70% ATM and i will turn up to 80% today, Spiderfarmer have kindly sponsored us with a Light controller, that arrives imminently and as soon as it does, it's week 1 of flowering and the light will go to 80% - then 90, then 100.... We have had serious rain here, the relative humidity outside is 90% and the temp is 31 degrees. We continue to feed with our own nutrient schedule. Slightly increasing the nitrogen for the last week or som of pure Veg. Thoughts? Lets Gromore,

Harvest Day 105

This is the final week, they are going to be chopped coming week. Already had some darkness and they are very very smelly. I am amazed at this strain's resilience. It had to deal with my noobishness with autos, heat, very hot soil and less PH buffering with my own super soil recipe (see the yellow image in the germination page) in the smaller bags. Still, they became huge and full of bud. Forbidden Runtz is an amazing strain. Very strong growth but also with most auto's I've grown: once the grow derails, it seldom recovers. But these do. I'm sure next grows I'm going to get even more out of them. Can't wait to try them again with what I've learned now. And you should all consider the SP-3000 as a growlight, look at my results! I will update when I've harvested, thanks for visiting!! Don't forget to check out the special spring discounts on www.mars-hydro.com Big hug Bud

Picture taken 20 Feb 2022. Some great progress. Overall am happy. The buds are forming nicely, starting to reduce nutrients, wanting to start to flush. Will have to check a closer look with micro lens. Trichomes looking milky 🥛

That’s a tall skunk.

10.10.2021 DAY 160 On this beautiful date I harvested a plant Bruce Banner #3 Fast that had survived the tremendous winds of the last few days. I sheltered it from the wind and rain so that the resin didn't wash away. It was a great grow and I am very happy with the genetics and natural fertilizers from biocanna, having doubled the dosage the last few weeks. See you soon.

11/24: The shorter MPP is now the taller MPP. Both plants have great structure and very thick stalks. Fed today and sprayed with microlife super seaweed. 11/25: Had to raise the lights about 5 inches because of the taller plants, so both of these girls are on platforms now. 11/27: I fed them today and raised the lights a few more inches. 11/28: I sprayed them with Microlife Maximum Blooms today.

~FastBuds Tropicana Cookies~ This was my first time running this FastBuds strain, along with my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing using the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I cultivated three plants from seed to finish in just over 70 days growing in a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix coupled with a layer of straight Perlite in the bottom of the fabric pots to ensure drainage and fed Plagron nutrients for the entire run with the exception of a 10 day flush at the end. Among those three cultivars, I had three distinctly different phenotypes. The #1 plant grew short and extremely bushy, with beautiful thick purple flowers, showing more Indica like traits. The #2 plant, which was the only one of the three that was topped, stretched her 'legs' and grew fairly tall in comparison to the #1. She also lacked the deep purple coloration of the #1, having just hints of light lavender in her flowers which were stacked tightly and completely frosted over with glistening trichomes! Lastly, the #3 phenotype grew the tallest of the bunch with wide, 'Sativa-like', node spacing. She was the one that experienced several issues during the grow, but finished out not looking too bad with a super dark purple coloration to her flowers that almost appears black. That dark purple color, coupled with her dark orange pistils give her flowers extra eye appeal! FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto was a very easy to cultivate strain and produced really spectacular results all things considered. I'll definitely be looking forward to running this one again in a 100% organic grow and can't wait to the results from that! 😎👍 Now let me move on the the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I was sponsored this system in return for my feedback on it shared through my Social Media accounts. On paper, this looks like a really great product, and I'm sure with enough time and experience you could get optimal results from using it, but for me that just was not the case. The initial setup went very smoothly, GrowAce's AirCube System looks to be extremely well made, comes with fairly clear instructions, and went together easily. I did add hose clamps to all the fittings attached to hoses for an extra measure of insurance against leaks (no one needs 20+gallons flooding the grow room!) and also placed the reservoir and 'brain bucket' outside of my 4x4 which allowed me to place all six AirCube pots in the tent, and yes it ended up being a bit too tight for me... it probably would work better with 3 plants or less in a 4x4. So lets get in to my pluses and minuses in my opinion for the GrowAce AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System: Positives: • Well made • Easy to assemble • Easy to understand instructions and lots of 'how to' media available • Easily expandable Negatives: • Not for novices, previous hydroponic growing experience needed • No way to control solution temperature in reservoir • Roots growing out of the fabric pots end up dying and rotting which results in a ton of debris in the solution necessitating draining/cleaning/refilling the system every 4-5 days • No way to adjust nutrient levels for individual plants, they all get the same PPM like it or not. • Requires having all plants start together, and finish together as there is no way to flush individual plants. • Lastly, I like to turn my plants, which is impossible and also to photograph them which is difficult with this setup. All in all, I enjoyed the experience of 'hydro' growing, but am ready to get back to what I really LOVE to do which is 100% organic grows... Stay tuned fam!

D40 (31/12/2020): Second week of flower and everything is good! They are still stretching a lot. I'm not continuing LST with ties but just by tucking and banding stems and leaves. I will continue to slowly remove leaves and small bud site under canopy that will never receive enough light. The higher buds receive around 520 and 600 PPFD (40 000 to 46 000 lux) for a DLI (for 20 hours of continuous light) around 37,44 and 43,2 moles of photons which is perfect. This Glue Gelato phenotype is weird as it grows weird leaf structure since a couple of weeks. Probably since I discovers a nutrient lock in the soil with too much nutrients. Banana Kush is super healthy and look amazing! 😎 - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 56% D41 (01/01/2021): They are stretching like crazy so it's a sign of good health! I fed with nutrients 3/4 of the recommended dose for transition week. I gave more then a gallon approx. 4L per plant. I did remove leaves today but no bending. I want to let them grow in height. - temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 820 PPM approx. 4L each plant - run off: PH6.7, 1150PPM for BK ; PH6.8, 1120 PPM for GG - RH: 54% D42 (02/01/2021): Nothing special today. I try to turn the plant 180 degree each day to make sure fan is blowing air on every side of the pot and plant and to make sure light is distributed evenly. I also swap the two plants every 2-3 days to make sure again that the plants receive light equally. I continue removing leaves and small buds site under canopy. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 54% D43 (03/01/2021): The lights are now at 16 inch from the top buds and just 12h later I saw a big difference. They are now ready to receive intense light 😎. They receive approx. 650 to 780 PPFD and even 900 PPFD for the top buds (50 000 to 60 000 lux, and even 70 000 lux). I will check closely in the next days to make sure the buds and leaves are not burning. I fed only Max Minerals full recommended dose for transition week. I gave more then a gallon approx. 4L per plant. I placed a round stake in each pot for when the buds will be heavy. - temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 460 PPM approx. 4L each plant - run off: PH6.8, 1550PPM for BK ; PH6.9, 1480 PPM for GG - RH: 55% D44 (04/01/2021): Nothing new today. *** UPDATE ON BUGS: I did not see any more larvae since last week. It's the 3rd week since adding nematodes and after adding 2 pouch per plant, doing 2 insecticidal soap treatment and removing 1 inch of soil, I feel like I did control the infestation. I still see some mature fungus gnats on sticky traps but nothing alarming. Increasing air flow and reducing RH also helped a lot for those bugs. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 55% D45 (05/01/2021): Nothing special today. I let them grow without new LST. I did not removed leaves since a couple of days. They are growing in height and that's what I want. I might do a defoliation in beginning of week 7 (or week 3 of flowering). I want to reduce RH in the tent under 50%. When the lamps are off, I have a lot of difficulties to maintain a proper RH for flowering stage. During night, it is around 57% with the 4 inch AC Infinity inline fan blowing full speed. RH in the room where the tent is is around 35%-40%. With 5 plants in the tent (2 cannabis, 2 tomatoes and 1 mint) it will be more difficult to control RH in the next week with flower and fruit growing bigger. I ordered a small dehumidifier on Amazon to help me reduce the RH. - temp: 25 C - no water - RH: 53% D46 (06/01/2021): I fed today half of the recommended dose for transition week. The PPM of the run off from last fed was high so I want to cut a bit on nutrients. The run off of both plant is down under 900PPM which is what I wanted 👍 -temp: 25 C - water: PH6.3, 480 PPM, approx. 3.5L each plant - run off: PH6.9, 860PPM for BK ; PH6.9, 766PPM for GG -RH: 52%
