Welcome to the end of Week 2, Day 14 update for the Fast Buds Lemon Pie Auto Flowering replenishment grow. Apologies for missing Week 1 as I am still dealing with some lingering symptoms of Covid 19- finally caught it towards the end of my last grow and still feeling it this many weeks later. So, not much to report as all is going well so far. During Week 1, I was watering every 4th day at 0.7 of a litre and in Week 2, still watering every 4th day but increasing to 1.4 litres or 0.35 of a litre per plant per day. Keeping the Secret Jardin Monkey fan (hooked around the left, back corner pole) tight just over the top of these seedlings so as to keep them constantly moving thus strengthening up those stems! As always with Fast Buds, these plants seem extremely healthy, vigorous and thriving- exactly what I need to replenish my personal pot stockpile. I absolutely hate spending my hard earned $ on something that I can grow for next to nothing! So hopefully I have a bumper crop and all will be well once again. Until next time, thx for checking in, stay safe and healthy and cheers! 🥂

Diese Woche brachte sehr viel Regen, stehende Luft und hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit. Um die Schimmelgefahr zu minmieren habe ich einen Ventilator in das Folienzelt gehängt. Hoffentlich wirkt er. Wäre schade wenn die Bubatz vom Schimmel betroffen würde. Ansonsten verdicken und verfestigen sich ihre Buds, der Leittrieb wird immer dicker. Der Test der selbstangesetzten Jauchen geht in eine weitere Woche, Demnächst kommt noch Beinwelljauche hinzu. Ein paar Blätter wurden entfernt. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch mit besten Wünschen für eine weitere erfolgreiche Grow-Woche! Aber um es klar zu sagen, bei dem Wetter, das zur Zeit hier herrscht, ist ein erfolgreiches Anbauen der Auto Candy Bubatz XL in den letzten Blütenwochen im Freien ohne Regenschutz nicht möglich. --- This week brought a lot of rain, stagnant air, and high humidity. To minimize the risk of mold, I hung a fan in the foil tent. Hopefully it will work. It would be a shame if the Bubatz were affected by mold. Otherwise, their buds are thickening and hardening, and the main shoot is getting thicker and thicker. The test of the homemade manure will continue for another week, and comfrey manure will be added soon. A few leaves were removed. Thank you for visiting, and best wishes for another successful week of growing! But to be clear, with the weather we are currently experiencing here, it is not possible to successfully grow Auto Candy Bubatz XL outdoors in the last weeks of flowering without rain protection.

Flower Week 2

🌈 LSD — Week 5 Veg Report 8×8 Tent | 12/12 From Seed & Short Veg Comparison 👋 Quick Welcome Welcome to everyone joining us now — and thank you for being here. This diary documents LSD genetics grown under a shared environment, with different early-life strategies (short veg vs 12/12 from seed), allowing us to observe how structure, vigor, and timing express themselves under identical conditions. ⸻ 🌱 Overall Status — Week 5 All LSDs are doing beautifully — not as a figure of speech, but in structure, color, and behavior. • Strong vertical growth • Active lateral branching • Clear phenotypic differences depending on early light exposure • Early signs of pre-flower expression, which is fully expected at this stage There is no panic, no rush — just plants doing plant things. ⸻ Plant-by-Plant Observations 🌿 LSD #1 — Former Autopot Plant (Short Veg) • Initially placed in autopots • Showed early nutrient demand stress (“hangry” expression) • Removed from autopots and transitioned to regular feeding • Recovery is excellent: • Purple stems fading • Leaf color returning to healthy green • Strong upward momentum Structure & Behavior • 9–11 visible branches • Lower branches aggressively reaching upward • Clear sativa-leaning dominance in structure • Responds quickly to nutritional correction → a demanding but expressive genotype This plant tells us clearly: “Feed me, and I will perform.” ⸻ 🌿 LSD #2 — 12/12 From Seed • No autopot exposure • No nutrient issues observed • Grew entirely under 12/12 from seed Structure • 7–8 nodes • More compact internodal spacing • Heavy lateral branching • Balanced, controlled architecture Roots clearly prioritized first, followed by steady vertical growth — classic 12/12-from-seed behavior. ⸻ 🌿 LSD #3 — 12/12 From Seed (More Compact Expression) • Also 12/12 from seed • Even tighter internodal spacing than LSD #2 • Similar node count • Excellent symmetry and branch development This one reinforces the pattern: 12/12-from-seed LSDs are stacking nodes tightly while still branching hard. ⸻ 🔍 Key Insight — 12/12 From Seed Behavior This run is revealing something important: • These LSDs are vegging, structuring, and initiating pre-flower simultaneously • Behavior closely resembles autoflowers, despite being photoperiods • The same pattern is visible in the autoflowers sharing the room This suggests: • Time efficiency without sacrificing structure • Reduced “waiting” between phases • Early architectural decisions locked in sooner This is not a flaw — it’s a different rhythm. ⸻ 🌸 Pre-Flower Signals — What to Expect ✔️ Expect • Continued vertical stretch • Ongoing lateral branch expansion • Gradual, overlapping transition into flower • Plants “deciding” their final shape soon ❌ Don’t Expect • A sharp, sudden flip • A clean separation between veg and flower • Uniform behavior across all phenotypes These plants are layering growth stages, not switching them. ⸻ 🧠 Closing Thoughts This week confirms something important: When conditions are stable, plants don’t rush — they express. The differences we’re seeing are not problems. They are information. And we’re doing exactly what a good steward does: • observing • adapting • and letting the plants teach first Week 5 Veg/pre-flower | 8×8 Tent | Master Conditions 🌍 External Environment (Context) • Outside temperature: ~5 °C • Outside RH: 92–96% (very high humidity) • Strong seasonal pressure influencing internal stability ⸻ 🌡️ Internal Tent Conditions • Tent temperature: ~21.8 °C (noted drop due to cold external temps) • Tent RH: ~58% → Very good considering outside conditions ⸻ 💨 Airflow & Circulation • Primary airflow: Bottom → top → wall return • Pattern: Full-room vortex circulation • Additional fans: Central airflow to break blind spots and mix layers • Goal: No stagnant pockets, uniform VPD across canopy ⸻ 💧 Water Source & Rationale • Water: Dehumidifier water + rainwater • Base EC: force • Systems designed to support plant intelligence, not override it FOR DISCOUNT CODES AND MORE JUST FOLLOW THE LINK https://website.beacons.ai/dogdoctorofficial 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

By week 5, I could clearly see the difference between the two auto plants. The first one, I purposely used the LST technique to inhibit. And the second one, I let it grow naturally. The result is that naturally grown plant tend to thrive and flowering faster than the other. When the plants showed signs of flowering, I tried to make the plants thirsty without watering for 2 days, then watered the plants with nutrient solution so the plants could absorb the nutrients well. The results are very positive. I will keep updating, please follow my diaries if you are interested. Peace!

da secret of why plants need ventilation is two things. one da air moves da plants cells allowing them to stretch. two da air helps maintain a plants electromagnetic charge.

Half way through week 2, started LST on a few & topped a few, just trying different things right now! If anyone has any pointers or sees anything I should change leave a comment!

Ahh shit, here we go again. After 2 month, I'm ready to grow again. This time it's gonna be Lemon AK, cuz its summer you know, not indica time. I'm using same lamp, same DIY growbox but with different reflective material. Gonna use Air Pot , i think it will be better than smartpot, will see. I have chosen some interesting combinating of nutrients for this plant, some from Advanced Nutrients and GHE, hope it works great. First seed that i started to germinate on 23/6 didnt germinate, i guess it was my fault cuz have put seed in refrigerator, and temperature was bouncing between 7.8c- 14c degrees, i thing it was a problem, so no pretension to fastbuds, you guys are awesome. Bought a new timer, set to 18/6 light. 3/7 Bought and started to germinate new seed, checked 24 hours later and its already opened, will plant after 48 hours, mb earlier. 7/7 Planted seed today. 9/7 After morning watering and turning on the lights, plant finally sprouted. 10/7 is first day, watering 2 times a day, on morning and evening. About 50-70ml under stem using syringe, rest 400+ml around plant. Day 2 - 500ml with RootPlus. Day 3 - 500ml with nutrients. Day 6 - Switched lights from 18 to 20 hours. Fans are now turned on 24/7. Intake fan gives a plant some nice breeze. Had no time so watered at night, 1L water under and near plant, and another 1.5L all over pot so it can last until tomorrow after's morning. Day 7 - Plant is showing great progress. No water today. New set of leaves showed up. Very happy with this week. Peace.

Day 50 😍welcome to week 7 😃👌 Day 51 i like the colorchange 😍🙏👍 Day 52 everything seems to ok 😃🙏👍 Day 53 and a long weekend 😎🙏👍 after 3 weeks a new SF SE3000 has to build in 💪😃👌 Day 54 after 4 weeks with SE1500 LED i upgrade today to SE3000 from Spider Farmer 💪😃👌 Day 55 massive leave cuttings in the morning and after that nutrients 😵 we will see whats happens next 🙏 Day 56 i think erverything is ok with the queens 😃🙏

Another fantastic week! The girls grew nicely during the stretching phase filling out most of the space, but have now started to calm down. It has been 14 days since switching to a 12/12 light cycle. We lowered the light and are running it at 100% power. The girls are being fed five times a day through a drip feed system @1500EC. No problems so far. Happy daze 😁

Excited to see the pistols keep coming and coming I have such tight spacing that the buds will probably start connecting by the end of the week on the Royal Gorilla Day 19- Tomorrow I will tie some branches down to open up the plants more. The LSD plants needs it the most!

Grüße Growmies wir sind am ende der Reise angekommen!! WOW diese Farben und Harz bessatz kombiniert mit den Terpenen Bombe ist dieses Jahr für mich eine schönste Pflanzen. Selbst Thripse am Anfang der Blüte hat sie super verkraftet! Sie hatte am Freitag das letzte mal Dünger bekommen und am Samstag so wie Sonntag nur Leitungswasser bekommen. Ab Montag habe ich sie nicht mehr gegossen und 3 tage bis zur Ernte austrocknen lassen. Vom Anfang bis Ende war das ein Unkomplizierter der Grow mit super Ergebnissen und dass von Keimung bis Ernte in 63 Tagen ! Dank EPN(Krumme-Gurken)Mykoriza&Trichoderma Mischung mit Canna Terra Professional Plus Erde hatte ich ein aktives Bodenleben & Rhizosphäre das die Nährstoffe ausreichend verarbeiten konnte trank sie zur Spitzen Zeit in 24std 3l Wasser mit leichter/normaler Dünger dosis bei einem 6,2 PH wert. Zusammengefasst: Ein pflegeleichter Strain der sehr gut mit LST zu steuern ist und auf Temperatur Schwankungen von 10C°+/-zwischen Tag und Nacht in meinem Fall: 19std tagphase 27-28C°/40%-50% Luftfeuchtigkeit, 5std Nachtphase 17-18C°45%-55% Luftfeuchtigkeit mit leuchteten Lila Blüten Spitzen und massiver Harz Entwicklung reagiert um dass ganze noch mit neon Orangen Pistillen abgerundet. Bei ca. 950-1000 ppfd an der Spitze und ca 800- 850 ppfd an den unteren Blüten so wie die letzten 2 Wochen 2x 660nm Deep red Adlite leisten tiefer gehängt auf 15cm Abstand. Was deutlich den Harz bessatz verstärkt hat und die Blüten nochmal haben anschwellen lassen.

Super happy with the wedding cake autoflower from barneys farm! Smells like wild strawberrys 🤤

SUMMARY: I flushed the NL with tap water straight from the hose. I’ve heard you’re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume, however that would be around 57 litres for a 5 gallon pot which seems absurd. I didn’t record the amount but I took my time and flushed with at least 30 litres. I will now continue to flush until harvest on 10th April by which point she should have faded nicely and used up any residual nutes. I read that the each time you water/irrigate you draw oxygen into the root zone and this promotes growth and in turn helps to increase yield and so I will endeavor to water her twice per day now until harvest. DAY 86 ----------- Sunday 28th March I flushed the NL with tap water straight from the hose. I’ve heard you’re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume, however that would be around 57 litres for a 5 gallon pot which seems absurd. I didn’t record the amount but I took my time and flushed with at least 30 litres.

30/01/2026 This transformation marks the moment she moves past the Purgatory cycle of purification. After shedding the weight of that transition, she’s finally breathing, stretching, and claiming her space. ​...... ​The Awakening: Post-Purification ​The Purgatory cycle is behind her now. Those scarred leaves were just the shedding of the old self—the necessary price for this purification. Now, the ritual of the manifold is taking hold. I’ve opened her up, breaking her singular focus to force a new, balanced symmetry across the hub. ​The Flow of Energy ​By pinning her down, I’ve mastered the apical dominance. I’m redirecting the internal flow, sending the life-force equally into every node rather than letting one stalk hog the light. We are building a foundation of perfect geometry. ​Current State: ​The Structure: The LST is set. I’ve widened the canopy to maximize the light-soak, ensuring no part of her is left in the shadows. ​The Environment: The reflective scroll-work is guarding the roots, keeping the light on the leaves and out of the depths where the nutrients flow. ​Growth: She’s vibrating with a new frequency. The energy levels are surging, and you can see the secondary shoots beginning their ascent. This is where the expansion truly begins. ​The cleanse continues, but the frame is set. She’s getting bigger, stronger, and more aligned with the ritual. ​..... I've just stretch her wings out to open her centre for the new shoots.. .... -Midday- Attached her training Wires; therse create huge knuckles! They undo easy as well; no faffing about! ..... Few-hours later... She's flipped her leaves and is praying 🙏 🤲 🕍 🕌 ⛪️ Diary Entry: Friday, Jan 30th – The Midday Pivot ​The Steady State ​Transitioned to a maintenance-level reservoir dose of 10ml 12% H_2O_2 in the 5L master-mix for the Bubblegum (Female Seeds) and Back To The Future #2. ​Adjusted the nutritional frequency after running out of "Grow" by pivoting to a half-dose of Bloom (2ml/L); this provides the Phosphorus and Potassium needed to harden the vascular knuckles without a Nitrogen spike. ​Applied botanical hydrosol to the mix to maintain the "stillness" and clear biofilm management. ​Hardware & Logistics ​Confirmed with Ergtech that the Gativa power leads have shipped via FedEx (Tracking: 888340178046). ​Delivery is locked for Monday, Feb 2nd, aligning perfectly with the end of the 72-hour structural hardening phase. ​Biological Alignment ​Successfully reached the Round 3 protocol; the "biofilm shells" in the right ear are breaking down under the bubbling/crackling phase. ​The vagus nerve release is active: right nostril is open, sense of smell is sharp, and the internal "whooshing" sound of vascular flow is serving as the metronome for the reset. ​Lineage acknowledgment: The "40% Italian engine" is driving the symmetry and discipline of the manifolding. ​The Result (Few Hours Later...) ​The Bubblegum has already responded to the wiring with an aggressive phototropic turn; she is stretching and "praying" back toward the light, signaling peak turgor pressure. ​The Back To The Future #2 remains stable under the dome, preparing to transition out of the stillness and into the manifold frame. .... 31/01/2026 Log Entry: Atmospheric Optimization & Metabolic Continuity ​Environmental Parameters ​Thermal Logic: Maintaining a constant 27°C (80.6°F) diurnal/nocturnal cycle. By eliminating the standard 3°C nighttime drop, I am bypassing the "metabolic glitch" and ensuring uninterrupted enzymatic velocity and nutrient uptake. ​The 8-Inch Upgrade: Transitioning from 6-inch to 8-inch industrial ventilation. This increases atmospheric throughput while reducing static pressure and turbulence. The goal is a total "atmospheric flush" to prevent stagnation and potential biofilm/pathogen footholds. ​The "Back to the Future" Survivor ​Current State: The plant is in a high-turgor "Prayer" position, indicating optimal root pressure and water potential. ​The Transition: Executing Dome Removal during a 15-minute "dark window" to minimize transpirational shock. Removing the dome now introduces the plant to the new 8-inch airflow, forcing a "hardening off" response while she is at her metabolic peak. .... ​01/02/2026 Lite defoll of the inner fan leaves to open up her new shoots 🔫 bubblegum femaleseeds. 02/02/2026 Defolled one fan leaves and using wires to anchor down #back to the Future

Plant did ok, not the best result and far below my expectations for it. I found that growing them in pots with other plant is a no go from now on for autos. they just don't grow all that well when their root space is being shared, all my autos from a few breeders did poorly when I grew them like this. however the ones I kept in their own pot did much better, the Ganja farmer brand is good, just wish they had some CBD/CBG strains in their catalogue. This will all be for friends and family. @GanjaFarmerSeeds, If you like the images or videos I can send you raw files that have not been shrunk and contain no watermarks, if you feel I am in the top 3 of your BDOTY Contest that is :D
