Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

8-24-25 All of the girls continue to do well they’re no longer stretching. I believe they’ve reached just about their full height starting to stack pretty well with buds Dosie Dough 33 is the farthest along with the runt’s layer cake being the least farthest along. I’m going to add a photo of some really good amendments that I have been using. I would encourage individuals to look into these nutrients, if interested in a large harvest of organic buds.

I just harvested lilly x White Widow. She looks very frosty. I can't smell right now due to a head cold. She did have a very earthy flowery smell last time I could. I will be back fir the smoke report once I get her dried, and cured in the cannatrol. Then of course the final trimming.

VIDEOS ADDED FOR @Fast_Buds #BestStrainPresentation Contest! HARVEST - DAY 96 - 06/20/2020 - NEW PHOTOS ADDED (06/27/2020) - CURING AS OF 06/23/2020 DRY/CURE UPDATE 06/23/2020: DRY WEIGHT: 64 GRAMS - 44g Buds - 16g Trim/Larf - Best Results Yet! 🙏 Best Quality flower I have been able to grow in my short hobby career. Best looking, density, quality of flower due in heavy part to @Fast_Buds genetics and my slowly improving grow skills. Cannot wait to get a full test once they dry and cure for 2-4 weeks. I'm going away in a couple weeks so I will take my half-cured tester up and test it by the lake 😎😇 Mac, Frank, and Charlie all down on 06/20/2020 after a week of half light and 48 hours of pure dark. Mac is fully ripe to get that stoney effect. Frank should be right in the sweet spot for highest THC. Charlie is a week or so early for that early energetic pure Sativa end of the spectrum. Mac was a fresh wet trim for the photoshoot. Frank just got trimmed and chopped up today so I will take dry pics before they go in the cure jars. Charlie is still hanging with the sugars. Will trim him today or tomorrow. All have a couple days left hang drying in the tent minimum. Will update with pictures as I go! UPDATE: 06/27/2020 Curing and breathing 2x a day since the 23rd. Made hash for the first time! About a gram from the trim and a crappy magic bullet blender has set up 😅 Going to turn it into Cannabutter for @9teen90 for the help on the logo creation! Give her a follow on IG! -- Thanks for checking it out! Throw down a like and/or follow so I can return the favour! 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow - Msg me you're from Grow Diaries so I can follow back and avoid bots/plugs!

Old Dinafem free seeds I got from attitude 5 years ago... 6 critical/cheese All sprouted but one. 2 growing fast and big 1 medium/small 2 very small ( wanted to discard those at first because they were the weakest and slowest one to grow but I could not kill them!!! And so kept them squeezed on the side in a small pot just to see. Planted the two biggest one completely laying on their side in the final pots before flowering because they were way too big for my little set up! I tried not to make too much lower stem in the medium, but I think I should have bent early in veg instead of what i did... One of the plant did not like it very much, but the other could not care less...Roots were poking out the top layer of pot, roots were truly rioting!

Hello everyone. Welcome to another week of Medusa love!! Finally entered week 9 these ladies are really packing on some weight now. Maybe 2 weeks left at most. The smell is very intense and interesting. These ladies will be on plain water now until harvest. Once again thank you to all my fellow growers for the love and support received I really do appreciate each and every one of you 🙏🏻 A link to Medusa F1 below I believe everyone should have a go at this one. And a massive thanks to James @ RQS for giving me the opportunity to grow out the F1 strains. ✌️👊🏻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/uk/f1-hybrid-cannabis-seeds/621-medusa-f1.html⭐️⭐️⭐️

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

Stretching well at day 14, will only do a little defoliation on day 21 and then it’s pretty much on auto pilate. Excited for the terps on this one

Flowering Week 23: The Great Defoliation & Purple Hints Update: 17.08.2025 | Day 163 Hey Growmies, Week 23 was all about the snip-snip – gave both ladies a serious haircut and opened up them tight spaces. Airflow’s king now, and these girls are breathing easy. Here’s the wrap: Durban Poison – Cleaned & Gleaming After that defoliation, she’s standing tall like a proper little tree – clean stems, no clutter, just good light and air all through her core. The buds are frosting up with pistils that’s turning a soft, shy purple. Real pretty. Smell’s picking up too – still subtle, kinda old-school. Not like these new genetic gas-monsters. If I had to call it something? Flowery. Earthy-flowery. Simple. Honest. Blueberry – Tall, Late & Mysterious This girl’s still reaching – almost 2.20m now, though only three mains broke the 2m mark. Rest is hanging around 1.80m. Buds are forming slooow, pistils are shy. She’s blooming on her own damn schedule – way behind Durban. Started sexing at the same time, but now it’s like Durban’s sprinting and Blueberry’s strolling. Starting to sweat a little… if she’s too late, mold might sneak in when the autumn damp hits. We’ll see. Fingers crossed. What’s Next? Wait... Catch y’all next week. Stay easy. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Flower Week 2 Day 14 to 20 - 4/1 to 4/7 Simply watching the stretch from this point. Defoliation is needed by day 20 (4/07) so I removed all but the top 1 or 2 fan leaf sets as well as a few of the lowest branches. The idea here being that I want to mostly lolipop the colas and allow more airflow/light into the center. Feed this week was an auto pot reservoir feed now at 700ppm total before add-ins. I used 175ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 525ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.8 where Io plan to maintain it until harvest. Video Post defoliation Next week nutes will increase in Bloom mix again but also eliminate Veg mix. Feed will again be 700ppm before add-ins with 5.8ph before feeding.

I will be growing her again, as I feel like I let her down, by letting her PH drift so low.. Other than that, she grew beautifully, and fumes of potency as you gaze at her! She yielded more than I expected! She's not that far below my previously lowest yielding plant! :)

Black Muffin Harvest Report The Black Muffin Monster really impressed me. She grew into a beautiful and strong plant with dense, resinous buds and an amazing aroma. Unfortunately, I suspect she developed a fungal infection, probably Fusarium, which forced me to remove about four side branches. Still, the rest of the plant stayed healthy and finished strong. Overall, I’m very happy with the results and excited to see how she turns out after drying and curing. It was a great experience despite the challenges.
