The the buds were small so it made trimming a nightmare! But it’s done and the end product is worth all the time. I have loads of trim and small popcorn buds that will be dry Ice sifted and pressed into a hash brick. Will update the diary when I have some bcp hash Weighed up the trim at 588 grams, used my trim bins with dry ice to sift the trim and pressed it into blocks using a rosin pre press, I’ll now jar this and put it to one side. My first time doing this, definitely worth the effort!

I transplanted the Blackberry Kush a little early so it could start benefitting from the auto watering. For my grow set up I am not worried about overwatering, and I think the root development will be just fine in my tall, 2.5g pots. I will keep dialing up the nutrients carefully, as the Blackberry Kush is showing some minor development issues which I hope will self resolve (the Fastbuds Blackberry is doing great in the same conditions). I will have a lot more updates during the week, happy growing everyone and stay safe! 👍🌱 Day 10: started adding silicon and rapid start (and a little pH down) and upped the trio slightly. In case anyone is wondering if there is any perlite, there is! It's just chilling under layer of pure coco. Right now there is 3l of perlite per pot, with the highest concentration lowest in the pot where drainage will be needed the most. Day 12: I lowered lights to 20 inches which is my vegitative growth hanging height generally. Thanks to those who responded to my grow question regarding this plant's leaf deformaties, the general consensus was that if the other parameters are good and this is the only plant showing symptoms it is likely genetic. This is also what I have suspected, as the only other plant I have had display these characteristics was a Black Cream almost a year ago grown with a completely different growing style. That plant grew alright (although slightly behind it's peers) so I hope this one can do well once it starts taking off! Day 13: I am running low on calimagic as a cal mag source, so I switched out to Greenleaf nutrients cal-mag pro that I have a bag of (that will last forever!) It has a bit more nitrogen, which is good for the current plant stage, so I can save the calimagic for flowering if the plants don't mind the switch. I mix about .5-.6 EC worth of Cal mag, which is about .625tsp per 5 gallons of the Cal mag pro. I will have this reflected on tomorrow's diary entry.

Watered with 2ml/l of BioGrow and added Micro Vita to the soil, using around 7 grams on 15 litres. Vegetative explosion !! Every morning i check the plants to see if there are bugs or plagues, or if branches need to be bended down, in that case im using strings wich i tie to the pot holes, made with a screwdriver. Every day inspection 😎

Not going to say I expected more as I did but I can also say wow they’re doing amazing and forming big ole buds! And the aromas are crazy coming from all of them! And I have NEWSSSSSS… so mystery revealed! On 2 big ones solo still forming! But bottom left is FASTBUDS purple punch and top left is FASTBUDS forbidden runtz and I’m so glad of it as I wanted them to be the fastbuds to get another finish or a better one on these and it seems I may not with the forbidden runtz but I will with the purple punch! My next run I will hold back as best as I can to do nothing but open them up and not defoliate or trim one set and visa versa on the others back to back to see the difference alongside each other! Be great too as I have more fastbuds to run and new Zamnesia to do on this so will be equal in timing! Plus I get to do some solos so will be a great grow!

This week I’m introducing my plant stands. It is a carousel design. They are lightweight, independent and can be put on/removed during growth with little effort or at the time of setup. I’ve had this idea for years, tried to find anything similar to it on line without success. I designed and assembled it about 2 years ago. It’s very versatile, can be modified for various uses and sizes, allows you 360 degrees access to you plant by rotation, brings you the ability to grow in a sea of green environment. Netting can be any size you desire and rotates with the plant. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Please take a look at my video this week that explains more. **The one on the plant now is actually designed for a 5 gallon bucket, I’ve simply modified it to work on this 2 gal bucket temporarily. This week she continues to outperform expectations and needed bracing because the weight of the flowers tipped her over. This was expected and remedied and all branches have now been spaced apart to allow bright lighting to penetrate deep into the plant. This is needed to mature out the lower buds. In another week I will cut back some more of the bigger leafs to allow even more light to get through. She continues to focus her energy on bud and trichome development (girth). The nutrient schedule has been updated as she is headed toward a late bloom cycle. Her smell is intensifying weekly. Maintain light power at 100% and PH at 6.24 I would highly recommend doing your own research on the blooming cycle. The change in nutrients is still controversial, but there is new and relevant studies that show of the main 3 NPK - K potassium was thought to boost flower production, the fact is this need on the plant remains relatively unchanged from vegetation through transition up to ripening. I continue to increase K in my schedule, but have started cutting back over this past year - up to 1/3 - without any noticeable difference. I have more that lends credibility to this theory I’ll explain next week. The case of bigger bud doesn’t mean anything special unless genetics and growth are in synergy. A quick note: I use General Hydroponics for nutrients and not this other one that is being listed, Terra Aquatica. I have no control over this update within Grow Diaries.

Start of Week 4 ❤️ Watering 2L every 2 Days per Plant. Waiting for 10 more Days until flipping to flower. Defoliation on first day of the week. LST Bending with Bending Clips on 26.01.2024 Topped Pheno 2 as it’s growing little higher and we want an even yield. (28.01.2024)

FBT2309 is doing great under the Mb Medic Grow mini Sun-2. I finally got the ph to stabilize not long ago. She has been growing fast, and strong since. She has started her preflowering. so I expect she will gain some size soon. Thank you Fast Buds, Gen1:11, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g If anyone needs to purchase fastbuds here is a link for my affiliate program https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419

Moin moin liebe growmies diese Woche war wieder ziemlich gut ich hab eine Lady bei der ich den Verdacht habe das sie einen tabacmosaikvirus hat werde die komischen Flecken weiter beobachten, da ich nach der ersten gabe von guano Grow das Gefühl habe, sie füllt die Flecken mit grün aus ( konnte ja auch ein Nährstoff Defizit sein) 16.04.22 heute gab es nährlösung 300 ml (extract, bat boost und microbes, Ph 6,5) 17.04 und 18.04 am Wachstum erfreuen 19.04.22 wieder giessen 500ml diesmal reines Wasser ( Ph 6.5) die Ladys sind durstig 20.04.22 zuschauen und am Wachstum erfreuen Ach ja und die wurzel Masse im Topf kontrolliert ist gut voll gewesen weshalb ich mich entschieden habe in dieser Woche noch um zu Töpfen (wollte eigendlich erst in Woche 4 umtopfen) aber die Flecken an dem neuen Wachstum sahen für mich im ersten Moment aus wie Nährstoff Mängel da war handeln angesagt 21.04.22 heute war Tag des umtopfen's habe meine 4 Ladys die im Zelt bleiben sollen in 8l stofftöpfe eingesetzt (sind zwar 8l stofftöpfe da sind aber ca 12-13L Erde die da rein passen bis der Topf voll ist) sollten sicherlich reichen wenn ich 8 bis 10 Wochen vegi fahre. Angegossen habe ich das ganze mit 500ml nährlösung ( extract, bat boost, grow und microbes) 22.04.22 heute war nur zu schauen und beobachten wie sich das Problem kind entwickelt, für nächste Woche steht dann endlich topping an freue mich schon total endlich mit den Ladys zu arbeiten zu können Euch noch ein schönes Wochenende und erfolgreiche ernten cu growmies Update: Habe meinen kleinen Eimer zum Wasser aufbereiten ausgetauscht ist jetzt eine Oscar Tonne 23L Fassung Vermögen, ca 20 L wasser drinnen 2x Sprudel stein,eine aquarium Heizung und den Deckel habe ich mit löchern versehen. Die Schläuche für die Sprudel Steine habe ich am oberen Rand durch gezogen also auch dort jeweils gegenüber liegend ein Loch gebohrt damit der Deckel sie nicht ein quetscht.Wie in dem video zu sehen ist,sind die Löcher im Deckel damit das wasser vernünftig aus dünsten kann wegen dem chlor was enthalten sein kann da es ja aus der normalen Haushalts leitung kommt. Das ganze läuft 24/7 h und wird ca alle 14 Tage aus gewechselt und gereinigt

Day 78- She is ready with about 5-10% Amber Trichomes. I can’t tell you how Amazballs she smells. Super limey like a green sour patch kid. So frosty I couldn’t be happier with Xmas around the corner I am going to be blitzed off of this for the Holiday😎 . Going into 2 days of dark then the choppers. I will upload more pictures beofore I chop and hang her. I defanned her before the dark period so I can just chop and full plant hang for about 10 days. Then into jars for cure. Chopped Her and came out to 597 grams full plant. Can’t believe I got her on my scale but I did and was epic.

Monkey Bomb is pushing past its 8 week flower time now with at least another 14 days of strong growth left, the resin build up on this strain is straight from its lineage and it shows very strong gassy smell and resin like glue . Great strain for the patient grower thank you @bombseeds

Stopped feeding this week. I'm pretty sure they should be ready to chop in a week or 2. I hate looking at them with my microscope so I've gotten pretty good a judging when they are finished. I love ILGM. They always come thru with solid genetics!!
