W9.D1(60) 🌸⏰🌟👀🔧 I think the time has come to transition to flowering. 🌸 As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights ⏰ before, and I know that the standard is to switch to 12/12. However, I'd like to experiment with reducing the lighting by 30 minutes each day this week, aiming to reach 14/10. 🌟 This gradual approach will let us 👀 observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care 🔧. 🌿🔪📉✂️🤲 Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. 🌿 Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the 🔪 blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual 📉 and gentle, not abrupt and harsh ✂️. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach 🤲, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for. W9.D2(61) 🕶️🌞📉✂️🌱 Nothing special is happening. 🕶️ As the days continue, I am reducing the light 🌞 hours and gradually trimming the excess ✂️, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our 🌱 champion. 🤔💡🌸🚫🌿 I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. 🤔 It's a delicate balance of stress 💡 and growth, where each cut 🚫 might impact her readiness to 🌸 bloom. 🏠✂️🍀💪🔗 But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. 🏠 Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip ✂️ boosts the vitality 💪 of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links 🔗 to the flourishing future we aim for. W9.D3(62) 🔄💧➕🔙 I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. 🔄 In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence 💧 is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing ➕ Bud Factor X into our regimen. W9.D4(63) 🌱🌿🌟🔍📦 Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. 🌱 With her vigorous 🌿 growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. 🌟 Her ambition to explore beyond the 🔍 confines of her 📦 environment is both astounding and challenging. 🤔💡🌱👏🌟 I'm not sure how I'll manage it, but the example set by @Chamomile with his compact yet extremely effective growing method is truly inspiring. 🤔 While pondering this, the innovative 💡 approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, 🌱 greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of 👏 applause for its efficiency and 🌟 brilliance. W9.D5(64) 🕒🌞🌱👀🌸 The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. 🕒 Having adjusted the 🌞 light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we 🌱 observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage 🌸 right before our 👀 eyes. W9.D6(65) 🌱📦🔄🌿💚 The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. 🌱 As time 🔄 unfolds, our grow box 📦 becomes increasingly vibrant with 🌿 lush greenery, brimming with the 💚 essence of vitality.

Me encanta las apicales, ver como crece la estructura de la planta, una de las técnicas que se puede presenciar en esta semana, haciendo un corte apical, amarro los 2 brazos principales dejando horizontal y cambiando la estructura de la planta(LST). La linea de fertilab me acompaña en este proceso para no llegar a un alto estrés.

Just waiting it out now. No added nutrients, just water. Bubba and Black Dog have exceeded their expected flowering time, and both are at 95% cloudy with 5% or so still clear. Chemdawg and The New can take up to 70 days or more so we’ll see if they’re late too. Bubba is a foxtailing machine. It was one weekend in early Flower when heat/humidity got out of hand while I was away for 3 days. She hermied a bit and I’ve had my eye out for bananas ever since (find a few every so often). Taking a risk to keep her in the tent with the others but if I catch them early enough the others should be ok. Interestingly I found a YouTube video of a guy that ran bubba and had the same foxtail development (also the same scent description and look overall). Nothing like the gorgeous fat purple budded girl I had last year but the citrus smell on this lime green bud pheno/version is impressive. Curious to see how the smoke compares. Scent combo from all four plants is amazing!

So far so good. Fattening up nicely, growth has been wicked up till this point. Only vegged her for 27 days. Pretty impressive growth. Hopefully she will be ready end of next week. Dropped the feeding back slightly, will be starting the flush soon. Stay tuned.

Ich war sehr zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis der Pflanzen. Sie waren gut zu formen. Leicht zu beschneiden und zu trainieren. Diesmal konnten wir den Platz perfekt ausnutzen ohne Verbrennungen von oben zu riskieren.

Gracias al equipo de Barney's Farm y a MarsHydro por las donaciones. Con un giro totalmente único, Barneys Farm continúa su búsqueda en la creación de una genética pionera con nuestra propia Strawberry Cheesecake Auto. Después de una extensa cría selectiva con nuestras diversas cepas ricas en terpeno de fresa, elegimos un sutil y seductor fenotipo Strawberry Pie. El laboratorio luego cruzó esto con un raro corte de una Afghan OG. La infusión de éstos rasgos Kush dominantes de Indica garantiza un crecimiento rápido, capacidades de producciones increíbles y una fuerte estructura. Cruzar ésta creación con nuestro BF Super Auto #1 significa que Strawberry Cheesecake Auto también puede prosperar en climas más fríos, es perfectamente compacta y completa su ciclo de vida en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Durante su etapa de crecimiento nuestra Strawberry Cheesecake Auto es típicamente modesta antes de que el rápido crecimiento de sus ramas florales de forma contundente se extienda, sus hojas de color verde oscuro eventualmente se transforman produciendo hermosos tonos púrpura profundos. Como era de esperar, se trata de una planta resinosa muy pegajosa con flores anaranjadas profundas cubiertas de una gruesa capa de tricomas. Los aromas son bastante intrigantes, queso dulce de cabra con toques de "old school Skunk" rematado con sutiles notas de hachís de fresa y bayas silvestres frescas. Consigue aquí tus semillas 😁🌻🚀: https://www.barneysfarm.es/strawberry-cheesecake-auto-569 📆 Semana 1 de crecimiento: Relleno las macetas de tierra evitando espigamientos. Aplico tierra de diatomeas para evitar futuras plagas y humus de lombriz para mejorar el sustrato y así también el sabor final de los cogollos. Solo regaré una vez con nutrientes con una EC de 550 y el resto con agua y calmag hasta 350 ppm, al haber aplicado el humus de lombriz y la tierra de diatomeas. Humedad: 70% Temperatura: 30°C

Welcome back everyone, As you can see are almost all seedlings growing. Some where still in the soil. Might happend when giving water(seedlings can turn or get deeper), checked it out and they are alive and well. All pictures are from day 4. The humidifier had been added, so I had to adjust the room. I spotted a corner of the room that gets dryer faster. I adjust the fan for now and see what happens. Corners are always hard to get perfect. Sometimes the light, air, watering doesn't come there properly. Seedlings don't need much nutrients, neighter do autoflowers. with normal soil I would recommend to only give water for 1-2 weeks, since it holds nutrients in it as well. But since I'm using Cocos for this grow, I might have to add some basic nutrients in the upcomming week. For this week I gave/give only water turns and Startbooster/rhyzotonic turns. Update day 5: - Lowerd the lights to avoid stretching, they are now at 75cm distance from lamp to pots. I want them at 40-50 cm, but I don't want to rush it. - Added another layer of cocos to avoid the soil from drying up therefore the roots from dying. This will happen because of lowering the lamps down, the soil will get exposed more to heat. As you can see, the humidifier is doing his thing haha. Pictures and videos where taken without the lights + fans on. because of that, it will look like this. Still fun thought. Arround 7 seeds didn't reach the surface yet, lets hope they make there way up soon. Enjoy!

2 Girls 1 Cup week 10! Fuck yeah, the end is near. Can't wait to reset and put the new system in. Day 70- today marks the girls 10wk from breaking surface. Having the windows open on a rainy day is cranking up the RH. I just turned the A/C on shortly after snapping pics. Closing the windows and turning on A/C should bring humidity down. I may take GC (depending on tricomes) and make bubble out of it. Stabbing her multiple times got her hormones flowing. Still don't think it'll be mature enough at chopping day, but I'm trying to think positive. WG tricomes looking good. Up top we have a few amber, mid section they're 90% cloudy. I will try and take a pic with my scope. Tried once and i need another hand or two to make it easier. Picked a sample bud off WG's mid section. Mostly cloudy, few clear, few amber. It'll help with air flow right?? 🤣 *edit* A/C is on the fritz.. need to bring home a multimeter and diagnose. ======================================================================================================== Day 71- anything else want to break on me this week? Today my inline fan took a shit.. next day air a replacement, and hope the smell doesn't escape between now and then. Burning a little Nag Champa here and there for the time being. ======================================================================================================== Day 72- keep forgetting my DMM from work to diagnose the A/C. I'll remember one day, prob after WG is cut and hanging lol. Camera went offline for a period on day 71, so there's no timelapse of it. Have been thinking about ending it since there's no big changes daily like before. Didnt even set one for today. New inline fan installed at 6am this morning. I can tell ya after using two cheap ass fans that vivosun is louder than ipower. Both rated at 195cfm, but the new vivosun pushes MORE air from the outlet on the lowest setting compared to the ipower on high... going to have to figure out something for the noise though.. sounds like a jet engine. Lowered Temps during day and night is bringing back the terps! Both of the girls smell AMAZING. only checking tricomes daily on WG though. She determines chopping day. Mostly cloudy with equal number of clear/amber. Shooting for 50/50 cloudy/amber. Heady buds don't have any medicinal/psychoactive effect on me. Love the taste, but does nothing for my pain or insomnia. *edit* they're eating and drinking less by the day. Figure it's time to drill the girls. A few hours before lights out, late in their day. #7 drill bit right through their hearts 🤣. It sure did make GC ramp up when I stabbed it each of the 5 times. Bro Science may be onto something here... ======================================================================================================== Day 73- took another "sample" off WG. right side, if you scroll from 72/73 you'll see which one is missing. ======================================================================================================== Day 74- combination of cooler outside temps and the new inline fan have helped bring temps in the tent down. Daytime high 77F, night time low 66F. Nice swing and cool enough will hopefully bring out some purples, but not really pressed if it doesn't. The SMELL is what I wanted back, and I got it!! Not baking the girls in the low to mid 80's anymore is really helping. Dropped the TDS from 950's to 750's since TDS was slightly rising and PH dropping. Indicating too many nutes. I hung the "sample" in the outlet duct to speed dry it yesterday. Still damp, but tried anyway. This is gonna be some good bud, if I don't fuck it up that is.. need to grab a tricome pic for the diary. ======================================================================================================== Day 75- EC still rising and PH dropping.. took 8L out and added 8L bubbled/PHd TAP. Dropped RES from 668 to 365 @ 5.9. WG is looking great. Can't say the same for GC 🤣. I can't let my mistakes ruin GC rep though. It's my fault she's not making it to the finish line smiling. ======================================================================================================== Day 76- EC still climbing slightly and PH still dropping slightly as well. Went ahead and drained the RES, and flushed the WaterFarm with bubbled PHd TAP @ 132ppm. Tried to rinse some of the excessive salt buildup accumulated over the duration of the grow. Filled RES with PHd RO. Haven't been able to completely drain the WaterFarm since before the side RES was installed. So there's always a bit left over. Only took 4.2gal to fill her up. Can't wait to take a pic of the root mass below. Currently sitting at 80ppm @ 5.91. Days are numbered... watching tricomes up top, in mid, and down low for maturing. Tops 5-10% amber, mids 1-5% amber, down low still 10% clear. Smelling good ASF! ======================================================================================================== As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow.

Hello my fellow growers I hope you are all having a great day! So I am not doing anything training wise with this girl at this point just using plant ties to hold the plant open to achieve better light penetration and airflow. But beyond that I am not doing anything else then what you see in the description for my nutrient use that is all!

This girl has been topped twice and is loving life. Really strong growth. She wants to stretch. She isn't far behind the amnesia. Tapering up the ferts gently as I've read she can be a bit sensitive. Hard to believe she was incredibly stressed as a young 'un.

BIG BIG apologies to Heather from fast buds & to Growdiaries & anyone who follows. The past few months have been a massive struggle, not just with temperatures & growing weed but on a personal level. My wife has been very poorly & with covid and everything going on, it's put a massive strain on us all!! I've tries to maintain an active presence on Instagram but that's about all I've physically had time for. I've put this update together today, so far into the grow now it almost seems pointless. I lost my original Mimosa due to high temps & high RH. Moving into the attic at that time of year was a mistake. It has cost me a small fortune to keep things alive. I've had to purchase an air con unit, more fans & just more of everything to be honest. My purple punch is almost ready to harvest, any time within the next couple of days, followed shortly by Bruce Banner & Kosher cake. I wont be winning any awards for this Diary & I feel bad as I was supposed to be show casing what 420 Fast buds has to offer & I've failed...miserably. I hope you can make sense of all the pictures I've included....just a mass photo frenzy over the past few weeks. Thanks to everyone & all your comments. Wishing you all the best. One Love ❤️

Empezamos 3ª semana de crecimiento, durante esta semana, podare los bajos y algún nudo. Tras unos días de recuperación pasaremos a floración. Se empezaron a germinar el día 10/10/23 llevamos 27 días desde que se empezó a germinar. Hoy día están siendo regadas con 1.5 de ec y 6.0 de ph, usando la gama de abonos orgánicos de boom nutrientes y CALMAG. Uso de sustrato el LIGHT MIX de GBNUTRIENTS. Son frondosas con grandes hojas, nudos muy corto entre si y además están verdes. Se nota que la luminaria hace su trabajo sin calentarse y por eso la tengo cerca de las plantas evitando que se "espiguen" **Actualización 08/11** he podado bajos de todas las plantas y alguna hoja grande que tapa las formaciones. En pasar 2-3 días para que se recuperen, pasamos a floración.

I have been very busy over the last week so I haven't had much time to do any documentation. There isn't much going on at the moment so you aren't missing out on much. There have been a couple of leaves on this plant showing some strange markings. Nothing that is uniform nor reoccurring. I think these defects I show in the video are localized to just two or three leaves so I am not too concerned at the moment. I will keep an eye on her for the time being. Other than that, the plant looks really happy and is growing very well. Good color all around and getting very bushy.

Sep 7: what a great plant. Totally love how it’s going. Flowers keep getting fatter and heavier and she’ll be done before the end of September. Sep 8: there a tree root sticking up a bit in my yard which means the plant can be tilted toward the late afternoon sun. This is helpful because the sun is getting really low to the horizon already and we’re down to 13 h of daylight. Plus now direct sun is done in my yard by about 6 pm. Indirect light is okay but you really want direct sun at all times. Videos shows use of 730 nm far red light at dusk. Just a few seconds is all it takes to set the plant into dark mode two hours faster. It’s a bloom booster because you get two bonus hours of darkness or a 26 h day. Very effective but don’t miss a night and you have to adjust the timing each night. When starting this on July 20 Civil Twilight, as listed on timeanddate.com for my location, was at 9:45 and today it was at 8:40 pm. The red light at dusk is a highly recommended trick if you have daily access to your outdoor plants. Also works indoors, of course, and on autos too. Also I think it helps ‘stabilize’ the plant by emphatically putting it into dark mode, and therefore less susceptible to stray light to cause a hermie. Have not had hermie problems in four seasons of using the red light so that is my only ‘proof’ but it is true so far, even with taking flash pics before using the red light. Sep 9: getting heavier and now more branches are weighed down and slumping against the scrog net. Nice problem to have, I know, and without the scrog net some of the branches would be breaking off now. She’s now officially too big and too top heavy to keep moving around the yard in pursuit of direct sun. Sun is much lower to horizon now and direct sun hours are dropping too. Sep 10: getting close to done and getting very top heavy. Awesome. Sep 12: raining today. Has been cool last few nights and some purple colour is just starting to show. I don’t want to overdo fertilizer near the end, but I decided she is showing K deficiency. I’m out of malted barley but I still have potassium silicate, so I used that and some cal-mag. I’m avoiding kelp and molasses or using more P at this late stage because that can make the dried bud hard to burn and that really sucks. So, potassium silicate and cal-mag it is. The potassium silicate raises the pH and it takes about the same volume of vinegar to get the pH down. A good does of acetate is likely good for the bugs in the soil too. Then a squirt of Dr Bronners soap as a surfactant and that also supplies some biodegradable carbon for the bugs in the soil. Seems to work overall and is cheap. Apologies for the large number of pics, but she’s so photogenic. 😎 #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds
