Hello GD Crew!!! I’m glad to finally be back with a new diary. A LOT has happened since my last diary. The large room I was using back then got infested with spider mites. For a while I thought I had them beat, but they came back with a vengeance. So I thoroughly cleaned my 2x4 tent and set it up in the opposite side of the house. However, that part of the house is also now my new man cave and was under construction until a few months ago (its still not completely done yet, but close enough). I have also switched back to LED lighting. I’m using a pair of Spider Farmer SF1000’s (100w) LED’s. I was using a 315w CMH fixture but felt I was getting better results with my old blurple ViparSpectra’s (both of which have died). Also, it was getting too hot in the tent with the CMH. To be completely honest the best weed I’ve ever grown was using a 1000w HPS, but that could possible melt a 2x4 tent and I’d be tripping circuit breakers all the time again. After a lot of research it looked like the Spider Farmer SF1000’s were the best bang for the buck in the LED market these days. They have the right components (Samsung LM301B diodes and MeanWell drivers) and have great specs. I was able to purchase them on Amazon Prime Day for $129/each (USD). For soil I’m using Coast of Main Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix. I had been previously trying to amend and reuse old soil or mix old soil 50/50 with new soil and in retrospect that was a mistake. The PH was totally unpredictable as were what nutrients were available or deficient. I felt like I was always trying to fix soil problems and one thing would lead to another. So, from now on its fresh soil in every pot. I’m using 3 gallon pots with self watering reservoirs at the bottom. In addition to the Coast of Main Stonington Blend I’m also using Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix. I filled the 3 gallon pots with the Coast of Main Stonington Blend first, then dig out a hole in the middle about the size of a grapefruit and filled that hole with the Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix. Then I planted the seeds about knuckle deep in the middle of the Seedling Mix. This seemed to work great, both pots had small seedlings appear in 5 days. This diary will focus primarily on FastBuds BlackBerry, but I am also growing a DinaFem Critical+ Auto at the same time. I’ve grown both of these strains a few times in the past with mixed results. But, I’m hoping this grow will be far greater than those in the past. My plan is to allow the Coast of Main Stonington Blend act as the ‘super soil’ it is supposed to be and not add any additional nutrients. I will however be adding RealGrowers Recharge on a regular basis (I love that stuff, it really makes a difference) and will probably also add some CalMag once in a while. But that’s all. Additionally, I do not plan on doing much training with these girls. I will LST bend them over at a 45 degree angle around the time they hit their flowering stretch, but that’s all. Bending at a 45 degree angle gives better exposure to lower branches and allows those lower branches to produce larger tops. Hoping for the best!!! Please feel free to comment and follow. I’ll be updating this diary weekly and will be doing videos in the future. Here’s a breakdown of the equipment: 1 - 2x4x6 tent 2- Spider Farmer SF1000 LED fixtures (100w/ea) 1- Carbon filter 2- 3 gallon pots w/self watering reservoirs Coast of Main Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix RealGrowers Recharge Also, here’s what Coast of Main says about their Stonington Blend: “Coast of Maine Organic Products Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix is a complex “super soil” designed for high performance container growing. It works well with tomatoes, and, where growing cannabis and medical marijuana is legal, growers have reported tremendous results. This soil incorporates mycorrhizal fungi, kelp, fish bone and alfalfa meal, as well as worm castings, peat, coir and lobster compost.” Here are the specs on the Spider Farmer SF1000’s: Materials: Samsung LM301B diodes and MeanWell Drivers Power Draw: 100w PPFD: 922 umols/s @ 12” PPF: 250 umol/m2/s PPE: 2.5 umol/J Yield: 2.5g/W Spectrum: 660-665nm,3000K,5000K, IR 760nm LED: 218 pcs

Start of day 28 ...... Nov 6 Flowering Check out the full grow video on latest weekly update Super Exceptional Growth Daily Still adjusting LST when needed and leaf tucking....... Water Only when needed but its drinking more every otherday and adjusting lights when needed...... Rain Water Only ....... ( DAY 33 AND IT SHOWS ZERO DEFICIENCIES ) IM ALSO DOING VERY LITTLE, SLIGHT DEFOLIATION Sidenote : Being that's it's my first autoflower I'm super happy with it overall growth and surprised on how quick they are going from veg to flower , NL 2 on day 21 and NL 1 on day 26 .... I will say this, i really am liking the speed and vigorous growth of this northernlights autoflower in general and becoming a huge fan.... Hope you enjoy my growlog .......

In this breeding adventure, I can say the best taste and smell quality.

I will start by saying a BIG THANKS at Barney’s Farm for sending their genetics. As always I will follow The Grow Boss growing recommendations ( except one of a kind under one lamp ) I will use Cellmax Nutrients as they have increased the final quality of the last crop. So, welcome onboard this new trip to the Jumanji Jungle , fasten your seatbelts and enjoy an 18 weeks journey on my GrowDiaries 😉 ( I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower , Mineralogist or Quality Control and Management ) Using a 2 x 55w STARLITE SuperPlant at 30cm to start. Germination have been done in water at first then in cotton once the germ start to show and finally when the germ is about 1cm long I put them in UGRO Rhiza Coco plugs with just a pinch of mycorrhizae powder. Keeping the plugs moist but not dampened ☝️ Seedlings have sprouted 2 days ago , in a perfect spring condition with no wind , on the 3thd day B4RNS says shall the wind start to blow and the wind started to came up gently.... doing my own Genesis 😄😂😊 (Growers tip: no wind = seedlings getting looney for the light will need a stick or support) [Day 4] Tranplanting into 1.5L pots Water + RootBooster + AllZymes

After 21 days in turbo cloner I transplanted 4 Sweet seeds Green Poison into 1 gallon plastic pots filled with Cana coco. Few days later I transplanted another 4 clones into DWC! Stay tuned! Coco feed at 700ppm Dwc feed at 480ppm

Week 5 there was a lot of sun I watered it completely every 3-4 days

The white hairs started about 9 days ago, ive been watching closely since, its grown another 5 inch in past 5 days, the hairs are multiplying but im still to see no bud shapes anywhere? Is this normal? I know over the growth ive caused a few problems for her and maybe this is why not alot is happening now, hopefully get something off it though, make it worth the effort and costs of the things ive bought. The days are running out for whats left to grow with it been a auto, online said anything after 83 days is pointless? Is that true in any way?

The photoperiodic Tangerine Dream has flowered super fast and efficiently, it is full of resin and has hard flowers, very hard I dare say like never before or almost. The flower density is at the highest levels really. You can also see it from the photos if you can't touch... ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per variety, one worked with techniques and the other left to grow freely and splendidly to preserve its speed and classic Christmas tree shape in height. Description // This plant was unexpectedly turbo in flowering. By now we have understood that there are some that flower quickly and finish in 6-7 weeks what is difficult in these plants is the discharge which is actually the only thing that I did not succeed in this case the plant was harvested too green but it is at the limit of the risk of mold so it must be pulled. I have however carried out large flushes in the last few days. Look at these flowers for me they are exceptional and I have another plant worked with main lining that primes very well too, fingers crossed the fall has arrived and the air conditioner has broken I am waiting for the new one that will arrive anyway near the end of the harvests. Trichomes and maturation // We did a careful 10x (and 10x x 1.6) microscope look and noticed a good percentage of milky/clod trichomes but still plenty of clear trichomes and some amber too. It's mostly sativa but just 60/40 so guys if we want to keep a more sativa effect we must harvest with a majority of cloudy/milky trichomes if we want a more indica effect, remembering that the thc oxidizes going too far, amber is your color. I do day use and therefore I look for more of the sativa effect when the plant is sativa. Fertilizers and soil // We used Plagron's organic range of nutrients the whole time, all the recommended additives and the unfertilized and organic Pro Mix soil. Calculate everything to suit your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ Nutrients are available in handy packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html I love this strain, I love the tangerine smell and the hard and potent flowers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10966-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream.html Zamnesia Brief Description // Whether you're new to the fascinating world of cannabis cultivation or an expert, Tangerine Dream by Zamnesia Seeds will give you great satisfaction both in growing and smoking.

This pretty lady born on 2/19/2020 she is 10days old being a beauty. I’m really excited to see what she has to show the world. Shout out to sensi for the awesome genetics. Let’s watch and see what she has to tell us. She’s been growing in fox farm ocean Forrest and peralite. Hasn’t been feed yet but we shall see what this pretty girls got.

Through week 5 of flower and all is generally good. The whole tent stinks like hell of berries, pine and earthy Kush. They’re all presenting something a little different in terms of growth but still very similar terp profiles and bud structure. Seed maturation is showing on some of the lower nodes as well. We’re getting much closer here. Hopefully not more than a couple weeks but we’ll see. #1 will go off first for sure. She’s showing a progressing N deficiency that likely isn’t fixable but it does remain possible she’s simply ending her cycle. If so, it’ll be a trait worth noting on the F2 run. Until next week, ✌️! Background This project has been a year in strain selection (and another year in the actual making) to get to this point with a viable potential cross. It’ll be a true polyhybrid with a mix of sativa and indica leaning properties for each. We’ve combined an especially powerful hybrid sativa strain of Strawberry with an equally manageable and hard hitting strain of indica dominant Skywalker OG. The hope has always been to combine them and boil out the best characteristics of each. The strawberry is phenomenal in terms of terp profile and a mix of strong head and body effects while the Skywalker is a mind bending, body butter kind of indica with that earthy Kush profile and flowery undertones. The strawberry is prone to botrytis and fasciation but features excellent terps and yields if grown correctly. She’s Also stretchy and somewhat unruly when she gets going. The Skywalker is a contrast in growth characteristics with a squat structure, medium sized buds and excellent resilience and resistance. The plan is to seed out the available females and take cuts of what we can post-stretch to get a closer look at any differing phenos. Still very much early stages for a stabilized new strain but we’ve got the right foundation of solid genetics. Now we just gotta get it off the ground to the next generation👍. We’re predominantly focused on the plants that demonstrate that hybrid vigour and wasting no time with any problem plants or runts. Stay tuned - with a little luck, this cross is gonna be straight 🔥😎👌.

She looks perfectly healthy and ready to get big! Haha so excited about this beautiful strain,I hope you all enjoy my diaries I'm growing 4 plants of this genetic,and 2 more automatics from this wonderful Spanish seedbank,let's see what we can do! 💚 🌱

Week6 of bloom, feeding Cal-mag+Floranova Bloom, both at 1tsp/gal. Each plant receives a glug or two from a 1gallon mixture. Runoff is removed. New Clones of different phenos have entered the arena! Happy growing!

Doctors Choice = Cali Crasher Hello 👋 guys, I took the pictures the other day and never did my update on here 😆 🤣 I apologize I'm in the middle of C treatments right now and things get so messed up for me 😆 These ladies are still swelling up and stinking up the growroom, it's a good sweet smell I still say they smell like Dr Pepper. I did some defoliation on the left plant it's like days from the chop 😁 ✂️ the other one has a little more to go Thank you Doctors Choice and Mars Hydro Mars-Hydro.com and doctorschoice.farm coupon code "Cyrus"

For the life of me I can’t remember what days she on😂 She’s coming a lot so nicely. I’m very happy to have her. Excited to watch her bulkin up day 49!! She’s a beautiful lady.

Beauty

Notong to go now looking good swelling into nice solid nugs citrus aroma coming off of them

Not much to say. Buds developing nicely. Just the stems tied lightly away from center letting more light and air into the middle. Im really happy with the look so far.

First set of leaves were a bit light and what appears as some decent tip burn? Bucket was running hot on week two, but left it alone. She’s happy now that she’s starting to get the munchies. Most of the growth is looking decent. I’m going to top above the fourth node, and take the lower branches leaving 6 main branches to train. She’s topped but it looks like I will end up with 8 branches to play with. I may remove the bottom two?
