I switched the timer on 12/12, i will do not defoliation for 2-3 days and after i will do it, no too massive but i want have as much light i can in the second bloom week. Half week: I modified the layout of grow room, I putted the vertical net behind the tube to earn more space for plants. End week: I did the first of the last 3 defoliation . The plants has a lot of shoots, it hard to arrive to cut the 3 plants on the back, i decided to cut only the leaves and try to have more shoots possible

Updating for the Week of 9/5 Unfortunately still behind but glad that I'm making videos so I don't have to remember everything! Defoliated inner branches and fan leaves that needed to be moved out Top dressed with some Down to Earth mineral Vegetable Garden 4-4-4. Put down about 1 cup spread out over the roots and then covered with some compost. We've been getting a lot of rain so I really don't need to water, therefore I think the dry will work out well and it saves time.

Sorry for the delay was in a wedding this weekend came home and been trimmin like a dog the past few days but I gotta feed everything in this tent tmm so I'm gunna get some pics. If your interested in the pics come back tmm night. The only 3 autos in 1 gal bags are the mexican airlines, pineapple express and blue dreamatic. Theyll stay pretty small and dry out quick so they are tough to keep up with cuz I only feed when I'm feeding the big ones. I dont mix up separate batches for these I just dilute the big batch which is usually 10-13 gal at a time

I soaked 3 Laughing Buddha seeds - 2 developed a taproot - 1 bad I soaked 3 Acapulco Gold seeds - 2 developed a taproot - 1 bad I soaked 3 Amnesia Lemon - All 3 were bad and did NOT develop a taproot I also tried the paper towel method on 2 Amnesia Lemon - Both were bad and did NOT develop a taproot Seeds were soaked by using 75F degree water, water was kept warm using a heating pad over night, cups were covered to prevent light leaks Seeds were sown on wet paper towels inside of a plastic baggy, covered and placed on heating pad for warmth at 75% water PH level 6.4 4 seeds that developed at taproot were placed in 78F grow tent, 80% humidity, 16 hour light cycle, lights 24 inches away, light meter reads around 250 with the plants moved off slightly to the side of a 4x2 tent 5 foot tall. Carbon filter not used as it was taking the temperature and humidity down too much. I DO NO RECOMMEND BARNEYS SEEDS - THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS I was offered a 30% off coupon on a future purchase, but I was not compensated for their out of date seeds. worth of garbage seeds, one strain would not germinate and the other two strains did not fully germinate. Customer service was condesending and rude.

📅 Tag 21: Alle Pflanzen weiter abgebunden/nachgesteckt nachdem die Triebe länger wurden. DARK DEVIL: Sieht aus als hätte sie trotz des Plagron - Terra Growmixes defizite :( Jetzt stellt sich mir nur die frage ob das nicht vielleicht doch einfach nur Lightburns durch die hohe RLF an dem einen Abend sind? Leider kommt mein Cal/Mag von Plagron erst in ein paar Tagen an. 📅 Tag 23: Alle Pflanzen weiter abgebunden/nachgesteckt nachdem die Triebe länger wurden. DARK DEVIL: Topping zeigt seine Wirkung - Untere Seitentriebe so wie 2 Tops wachsen GELATO: FIMing bei der Gelato scheint wirklich verkackt an Tag 19 angekündigt? GG#4: FIMing scheint auch hier verkackt? Ich schau's mir hier die Tage nochmal an, wenns danach wirklich verkackt ist wird die kleine nach etwas Ruhezeit getoppt. 📅 Tag 26: Alle Pflanzen weiter abgebunden/nachgesteckt & Entlaubt. DARK DEVIL: Topping verlief ohne Probleme, ca 1-1,5 Wochen noch bis zur Auto-Blüte. Seitentriebe kommen auch Super. GELATO: FIMing Bei der Gelato lief solala, in verbindung mit frühem LST wärs wohl besser gekommen - aber ich versuch nun das beste draus zu machen. GG#4: FIMing Lief hier "etwas besser" (?) Da LST sogut wie sofort mitgemacht wurde. Seitentriebe Wachsen wunderbar. PH Wert Wasser: 6,45

8. Woche Sie sind gut unterwegs und messen jetzt 60 cm.📏 Beide zicken jedoch etwas nach dem toppen rum und zeigen gelbe Spitzen bei den neuen Trieben... Hoffe aber das wird sich geben ...✌️ Nächste Woche wollte ich sie eigentlich in Blüte schicken 🙏

My first ever harvest went great! I trimmed 3 different ways as well as flushed for different amounts of time. 24hr flush and wet trim with bowl trimmer, dried on dry rack. Aprox 4 ounces as i was smoking it soon as it dried, small buds first. 🤷‍♂️🏻 3 day flush. Wet trimmed by hand. Hung to dry. 119 grams Last two ladies were the bushy ones. I let them flush for a full week and then hung to dry. We hand trimmed them both(not as close of trim) to make edibles and oils with. 412 grams! I think I did pretty well on my harvest. I have over a pound of bud! I’m all smiles!

8/19 Monday Fast Buds Strawberry Gorilla just woke up, RSQ Medusa sprouted yesterday. So far so good. What a great Monday!!!! It's evening now, and Dark Devil Auto from Sweetseeds is clawing her way out from hell!!!!!! Yeah!!!! Still waiting on Blueberry in the mostly perlite mix so might not work, and Pink Kush she will be along soon. 8/20😈😈😈😈😈 Every single one clawed their way out of hell...100 percent success !!!!!!! 11am Dark Devil might need some assistance with her shell, looks awesome...... I've been dancing with the Dark Devil Auto in the pale moon light and it's pretty cool. 👹 This is the first time I didn't kill any seeds... when I get out of practice my germination rates are bad.... Im still learning to grow in 1 gallon. My health has gone to hell so I can only move smaller plants now...so much fun though. Easier AND I can do smaller 4 cola grows...they dry in 1 or 2 days NO WAITING for curing or 10 days to dry...it's just the BEST!!!!!!! 8/21 1 am Everyone is looking good a little worried about Dark Devil I may have helped too much again... I planted another dark devil auto seed just in case I’m not sure this one is really gonna work and if it does then I’ll have two of them growing in one and I’ll have a double Devil auto it’ll work. I’m pretty sure.👍👍 8/22 I took off the paper light diffuser I made raised the light up a few inches and have it at 50 Watts now. They are looking good. I replanted Dark DEvil seed maybe 2 will grow?? Halloween 8/23 8/24 Dark Devil Auto took off and the other one looks like she's trying to grow!!! 🚨 I was noticing some light stress since some of them are a week behind the other one I went ahead and turned the lights down to 45 W until all the plants are a little more stable. I just don’t wanna move them to another tent and turn another set of lights on. I’m trying to do this for low energy and heat as I can. They are responding well to turning the lights down 5 watts👍and Dark Devil Auto is being a devil, she has MASSIVE personality, she tricks me then wakes up..... I love when I can really connect with the plants sometimes they are like pets and they respond to you like pets. not very often but it happens . I successfully did a minor surgery on Dark Devil Auto, her cotyledon was stuck together so I used a razor and a paperclip for counter weight and CAREFULLY cut the seed coating off of it. Now I will have 2 in the same pot!!! So cool I never did that before and it worked!!!!!! Love my Dark Devil!!! 8/24 2 pm Switched to 18 hour lights 8/25 12 hours later and the cotyledon surgery was a success!!! First time I tried that. 10 am, Dark Devil is ALIVE, I got more cotyledon microscope pics and you can see inside, she's a go. 330 pm end of week.

Day 74 - still growing, but not looking as healthy as I'd like. Leaves are curling downwards at the tips, and tips turning yellow/brown. I think this is a one of the classic signs of overwatering and over feeding, so have cut back nutes and watering, and will re-assess next week whether or not to go back to old schedule. Have also diluted the reservoir, so oping that a slow gradual easing will sort things out. She also looks quite stunted in growth to me - she's all of 50cm tall. The RQS data sheet advises 80 - 120, but she has been in the RQS Royal Dwarfs shadow, so perhaps needed more of the light earlier on. I was warned about overuse of the PK nute and am think I've learnt my lesson here. Fingers crossed all will be fine. On the up side, she's defintely flowering. Day 75 - might be wishful thinking, but tip curling seems to have been brought under control and looks to be recovering. Phew. Day 77 - definitely wishful thinking. Did some readings, and found ph has leapt up to 6.67, and ppm at around 2500. will ph down a little later, and continue to monitor.

everything is fine, the rains have stopped and it seems that the plants are quite mature, I think I will harvest them next week. It has been 2 weeks without watering with fertilizer, making the washing of roots as natural as possible. They have developed a very beautiful purple color in just 2 weeks, because of the stress caused by the cold. I have also found some worm and some rotten bud but usually it is holding very well. I found a leaf of a very powerful pink color, much more than I had ever seen, and that color is not repeated throughout the plant, I leave some photos. chekit

***** Week 6 December 23 to 29, 2020 - Days 36 to 42 from germination ***** Week 5 was certainly a stretch week and she grew tall baby👊👍 She has been doing well with her crack on the main stem from early on and when I pulled her out you could hardly tell where it was. Perfect......because she has been growing hard she is getting a little uneven in her canopy but I have been watching how hard I pull on her main stem. Correcting the situation as best I can now but with only in 3 gal pots its tough to get out further on her long branches and tie them down. Could get creative with Bamboo and creating ties but those suckers are eye pokers and I don't use them too often. Will just deal with the potential difference in height and keep pulling her harder now that I can. Silica increasing this week as well now that we close to the end of being able to shape her lower branches. She needs the strength now to defend any potential pests and to growth thick stocks so she can support the bud weight. Since she has been going hard it was time to pull her out and start trimming some lower branches now. Yes she is an auto and many say to never remove leaves, never mind branches, but I do and want to allow her to focus on top buds. I will accept a potential decrease in yield but since I am already performing LST and working with more than one top.....a gain in one area can be offset in another without too much pain😜👍 Stripped quite a few leaves from this girl. She is thick at the bottom and in the last week her node spacing has gone crazy on the 8 main branches😲 I will trim the bottom as it just doesn't get the light intensity down below......even with opening the canopy up lots those sites are still 12" to 18" lower than the tops at this point. Her side branching is really thick and looking awesome. She is showing signs of wanting to grow some big buds😀 She will be able to support the weight at least.........really nice selection Fast Buds!!!!!!! Little more detail........ Dec 23/20, Day 36 - Feeding day today. Continuing with first weeks flower feed of 2ml/L. - 2L feed with Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, AstroFlower, VeloKelp, Natures Candy @ 2ml = 800ppm and 5.8pH. - add microbes again on the next feeding!!!! Dec 24/20, Day 37 - She was given 1L of feed left from yesterday (both her and Orange Sherbet.......J47 is on a two day dry.) - Her color is good but still quite yellow in the new growth points. - pull out tomorrow and clean up lower growth and check runoff numbers. Dec 25/20, Day 38 - 2L full feed again with the same 2ml/L feed as earlier in the week for all the autos. Added AN Rhinoskin as well for silica. - 1150ppm and 5.9pH going in.........pots were really dry and perfect pretty well. - Runoff was 925ppm and 6.1pH.........I can live with that at week 2 flower😁😁 Dec 26/20, Day 39 - 2L full feed again. Had mixed up 12L yesterday. - Added 2ml/L of Microbial Mass and Piranha = 1200ppm and 5.9pH. - The girls needed their microbe allotment as we get closer to the end. - Bacteria added to help keep some of the nutrients in the media as she finishes. - next watering is more of plain water and add Terpinator. Dec 27/20, Day 40 - pots are light again in the afternoon. - 2L watering with Magnifical, Rezin, and Microbes @ 2ml. Terpinator @ 3ml = 400ppm and 5.8pH - She taking the nutrients but backing off the ppm on this watering a bit. - noticing some clawing in the girl.....start of some excess nitrogen or environmental??? Keeping an eye on it👌 Dec 28/20, Day 41 - the girl is hungry so feeding again today with full nutrients. - 2.5L watering today, stepping up from 2L volume. - Full line of Remo, all 6 parts plus silica again @ 2ml = 1150ppm and 5.9pH Dec 29/20, Day 42 - another feeding in the morning today. Pot was really light. - 2L in the morning giving with same feed of 1150ppm and 5.9pH. - her colour change in the leaves is really popping out now. Bud is all purple but the leaves are turning purple as well. - noticing leaf colour is getting even to the other girls for green. No need to compensate any deficiency anymore......in fact watch over feeding now😀 - in the evening, 12 hours later, pots were pretty light so gave another 1.25L of feed that was left over for 16L mixture yesterday. - she had a total of 3.5L feed today......water tomorrow and not feed. She is doing very well at the start of the week. Canopy height is good but her node spacing has me concerned a bit. Looks like we are going to get some beautiful colours from this girl as her buds are purple already. Leaf colour already has a yellow huge to her........Purple Lemonade baby......on point!!!!.......nice work Fast Buds.......this strain is making a lot of growers go, DAMN she's freaking awesome😁😁😁

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Was a good week. Both phenos have ripened nicely. Both harvested together, being done in the same pot. That's always a plus. Only added LemonPaya and will do Lemonmandrin in a few days. And update on drying of the bud. 9-12 days. The buds are super dense. Temp 19.5-20.5c RH 62-6
