Days 74 - 80 (from seed) 4/15/24 - 4/21/24 Lamp distance: 13" @ 50% power (estimate PAR?) VPD: not checking - humidity set to 40% Feed schedule: feed schedule once a week, 1/4 gallon water per plant daily - FPE added at 2oz per gallon every third day IPM: visual inspection only Notes: Final push, fading occurring on all plants now and some amber starting to show during trichome inspection. Cookies & Berries taking the most time of the group to finish while Mango Sky crossed the finish line first. All four plants will be chopped next week on the morning after the full moon, April 24th - according to the moon gardening calendar it is "best time to pick medicinal herbs and plants, while flowers if cut during this time have an intense scent and endure longer." They're close to finished in my book so it can't hurt to follow the lunar suggestion.

Germination week is going great I am looking forward to growing Fast Buds Purple lemonade. I am a fan of fat juicy citrus nugs and being a purple citrus verity just puts the cherry on top. Also looking forward to the fast turn around as they advertise. In my grows I use ONLY organic gardening techniques. No bottle nutrients or synthetics of any sort will be used in this or future grows ✌️🙂

Nothing notable this week. The ladybugs continue to have a grand time. LST is continuing well, and it’s looking nice and bushy!

02/07/2026 A new week and the last week of veg. The stretch is just around the corner. So before hand, I did a tiny bit of trimming. Just the main stem fan leaves and a couple lower hanging leaves. I also took the lowest branch off. It wasn't gonna make it anyway. She's still super full, but has plenty of open space for air flow. I'll be increasing the light intensity at some point this week. However if she starts to stretch like I expect, I shouldn't need to increase the power much. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of the canopy. Currently she's short enough. So all the light is reaching. But when the stretch starts, I'll need a deeper penetrating light source. Mine. Turned up. I'll also be changing the nutrients out at some point this week. I'm pretty sure we start transitioning from grow nutes to bloom nutes. Adding in some bud ignitor, bud factor x and big bud in small doses. I'm just waiting for the bud ignitor to come in. It's absolutely frigid outside today, so the environment in the tent is off. The humidity is fine, but the temp is low. And I already overheated one heater. Hopefully the other one gets the tent back up to snuff. Once that happens, the devices will level off finally and run at low settings if at all. We just gotta get there. As for her looks, she looks full and vibrant. Beautiful green color. Super strong branches standing straight up. S couple of them are starting to spread out now, but the majority of them are standing up close to the main stem. They are too thick to use the bud clips and I don't have tie downs, so it's all natural for her. Maybe a little push down on the top just to get the lower branches pumping. 02/08/2026 Looking good today. She is really starting to look like a little fat Christmas tree. Still no training though. The branches are long enough, but too thick. So I'm still waiting for the stretch to start. Although, I'm pretty sure it started already. Maybe. It could be a couple more days. The water is low. I was thinking about topping it off, but I'm changing it tomorrow when my bud ignitor gets here. I think that's what I'm gonna do. Either way, I'm waiting for tomorrow. She might need a gallon or so if I were to top her off. I'm not sure now. Maybe I should top off. I will say that she is hungry. She's sucking up all the nutes in the water. She'll be fine. When I swap the water out, I'll make sure to give her enough food. However, I don't really know what she needs for nutes. Maybe 550 ppm? She's drained the nutes down below 300 ppm from 450 ppm or something like that. At least she's not overfed this time. The fucking environment. No matter what I do, it just stays fucked up. There pardon the language, but it's definitely needed. So I set the humidity ton55% now it's stuck at 52%. Where yesterday it was at 57% with no problems. I don't get it. And the temp is just low. AGAIN! It was 75° yesterday. WTF. 02/09/2026 I still haven't decided what to do about the water change. I'm definitely doing it today, but I'm still waiting for a nutrient to show up. I can't decide if I want to stay with the current feed or start the transition from grow to bloom. I think I'm going to start the bloom nutrients. Just at a really low dose. So I'll be adding big bud, bud factor x and bud ignitor. We'll be keeping the voodoo juice, Tarantula and Piranha out for the rest of the run. She looks absolutely amazing. Beautiful vibrant green, thick branches and side branching coming out everywhere. She's definitely gonna be a bushy one and I'll need to defoliate a good amount. That's ok. She's healthy enough to take a pretty good hair cut. But I won't be doing so until after the stretch. I moved the humidifier around and put a hose it came with on it. So now the humidity is put in above the canopy. Hopefully it keeps the humidity in check and not constantly running. The temp is also kinda good. So no complaints there today. I also took measurements. She's 14" tall now and about 21" from the light. I was considering lifting the light up and increasing the intensity for a bigger footprint, but I don't think I need to quite yet. I'm thinking in the next couple of days I'll need to adjust it anyway. Especially because of the Apple Strudel which is 16" tall and only starting to stretch now. She's gonna be a beast. This little lady won't be small either. I don't think she is beast material though. Well, who knows maybe she is. 02/10/2026 So instead of swapping the water out today, I topped off with a half gallon of the new stuff. She's drinking about a half gallon a day, so I'll continue to feed the normal dose but in half gallon intervals over the course of the week. Then I'll change out the water with the regular dose. Regular as in 1/3 dose from what the manufacturer says. It should be fine. Update: I decided to swap out the water. Lol Readings: pH: 5.8 EC: 898 TDS: 450 Temp: 64.7° We will have to see how she likes this mix. A couple hours later: So far it looks good. I'm not exactly sure what to look out for. According to both the Advanced Nutrients app and the FastBuds autoflower schedule, I'm perfectly in range. Anyway, she looks fantastic! Beautiful colors. Strong side branching. Best of all, it's starting to spread out. So more and more bud sites may be grown. I'll just have to cut some select leaves after the stretch. We'll see how it goes. I have a good feeling about this plant. Not sure how big she'll get, but her buds should be POTENT. 02/11/2026 So I forgot to add an ice bottle last night. Now there's big bubbles on top of the water and on the roots. Not really sure what it means, but both plants did it. This one and the Apple Strudel. Maybe it's the mix with the new nutrients, like bud ignitor and bud factor x. Maybe the water was too warm and I screwed up. We'll find out at some point today or tomorrow. I'm gonna have to check the EC and TDS to make sure it's staying the same. If it's raising, I know I have too much nutrients. But I don't think so. I hope it's not another algae bloom. It didn't look like this before though. Maybe a new issue? I'll keep an eye on it. Other than that, she looks amazing. Taking a very nice shape all by herself. She has clear layers of leaves and branches. Directly from the side, you can see them. It's very nice. Don't get me wrong, unless she stretches considerably, I'll definitely be defoliating after the stretch. Plus I'm expecting bigger leaves. The environment seems pretty decent as well. Doesn't seem any equipment is having issues either. Something I'll note is the color of the leaf tips. They are dark, but barely. No claw either. So I'm only noting it. Not too worried about it. We'll see how things go throughout today. It's not like I'm pumping her with like 1000 ppm or anything. It's like 450. There shouldn't be any issues whatsoever except for maybe being a little underfed, but this doesn't seem to be the case. She seems very happy and healthy. Wanting for nothing. She has all she needs.

So this was the first week for the 1st clone clipping of pure ice cream. She looks pretty good like it will root, and make it. She will let me know for sure within this next week. Hopefully I caught part of the lighter color pigment mutation the mother plant had. 🤞🏻Thank you Pure Instinto seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

i was thinking about harvesting half and letting the bottom half finish but after chopping some of it i just ended up taking it all down. i knew i wouldnt get a crazy amount of weight from the early mess ups but im guessing it will be about 2 oz when dried. im happy with anything thats smokeable for a first time grower tho and i cant wait to get started on 2 more ladies :D im thinking maybe do the purple punch but this time use a 5 gallon pot so i can see her at her best ! the roots were sure cramped in this 2gallon lol. thanks for reading and following my journey :D

Starting to get some nice purple colours on #4 buds and Ozz leaves! Not super visible on the video but looking really good. Also had an unpleasant surprise the other morning, due to wind gusts the support went out the pot and #4 straight bent to 90 degrees. Looks like it happened around 3/4am and I only saw it around 9am, so she got pretty roughened up but no actual damage to report. Same for Dorel, a brush fell on a lower branch but didn’t break anything. The learning here as it is the second time it happens, both time just before I water them: I suspect drier medium is less efficient in holding the plant when there is a lot of wind. Well well! In just 2 days she went from little purple to actually the whole plant changing color. Curious to see where it’ll go!

At Day 33 we started with defolation. They seem to be very healthy, although there are fungus gnats. The Ladies have no problem with it. You already can see the preflower in the last pictures. Next step will be to send them in the Flower Stage and turn up the lights

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. We harvested one of the Tropicana XL girls , this is going to be a weird entry because I decided to not make a harvest entry till the other one lady finishes. Unfortunately because of my sticky fingers from all the trimming I did not make many pictures/videos of the grow itsels, to fill this void I decided on including the harvest videos and photographs. Although the final weight will be summed up in the final harvest. We finally see that our problem with the plants may not a deficiency but overfeed...decided to leave the reservoir as it is for this week and add only fresh water next week we will flush the system and for seven days the girls will only drink water. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SE7000 runs at 520 Watt and about 33cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweet Seeds for the gift of this fenomenal genetics: https://sweetseeds.es/en/ Also I want to thank Jungle Indabox nutrients for supplying me with their excellent & affordable nutrients line: https://www.jungleindabox.cz/en That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.

So these ladies are in full swing of flower and the stretch I have tucked any branches I can under my netting too spread out the plants and too fill the tents canapy they are growing about 1 or 2 cm every other day at the moment so tucking under is the order of the week Really into the massive stretch now I am having too move the climate control probe and thermostat every day now and these girls will soon cover the WiFi camera too , probably growing around 2 or 3 cm per 24 hours at this stage , " day 4 of week 5 " The tent is filling up nicely but the fbt7 is a clear winner so far , be is my cock up of snapping the main stem and fixing it ? The ftb7 is double the size of all the other 3 plants and is a very nice little bush , the smoothie has been very consistently healthy and vigorous and is around 22cm now and is one I did not lst , the BlackBerry has finally woken up and is now the same height as the others another plant I didn't lst , the c1 started very vigorously and was strong , them week 3 started too show signs of very early flower , she is now is fully fledged flower at week 5 and looking fantastic , and I was lucky enough too get all the side branches out and bend over the main cola too the netting and has made up for in lst what it lacked in size due too the early flowering ,

Day 33: What an amazing height and bud gain in just 3 days! Lady #1 is 67 cm tall now, her sister a tad smaller. Both still have a great color, and I dared to cur away just the lowest branches and leaves that do not look like they could gain height in time. Really enjoying this strain so far! At the end of their day, they are a bit dropping leaves, so clearly no hunger for more light. The impressive growth speed continued on their buds: Tallest lady at 70 cm now. Their next morning shows growth is still at an impressive 5 cm/day as lady #1 with her leaves erected again stretches now 72, the maximum of my previous growth. Pulled the lights as close as possible to the ceiling and hope they won’t make it much more than 1 m. I activated the Sansi 30 W folded wings LED to give them somewhat of a morning and evening light and to add some more light to their overlapping center branches in the middle of "their" day. Sadly that’s causing some interference to the timelapse videos, but I can’t say they’re perfect if it wouldn’t. Watching the timelapse video of day 34, I have the feeling the additional light rather irritates them. Maybe the interference is not only visible for electronic eyes. I’ll keep it off next day for comparisons. Day 35 shows stretch speed has reduced indeed and they seem to be concentrating on leaf and bud growth instead. 75 cm, so we are currently at "only" 3 cm/day. Watered them with a HPE/Bud growth mix again last night, about 1 l each. Well, forget my words about reduced growth. After they recovered during the night, we are at 77 cm for lady #1. Which measured at 78 with hanging leaves in their day’s evening. I must have missed a day number – day 36 concludes their 5th week. I gave them another 2 l of fertilised water each and will lave them for the weekend again. Video shows that growth concentrates now more on leaf and bud development than on gaining height. So I guess my 160 cm tent will be sufficient. For a moment I was worried, but it looks like stretch is over. Anyway, time to rearrange the camera next week. Leaves are running out of focus.

Week 9 Veg – White OG 🌿🔥 “The Topping Madness Begins” Welcome back, fellow growers, to another wild chapter in the White OG road trip! 🚐💨 This week, it’s all about structure, training, and control—or should I say, complete madness? Because, my friends, I went full throttle with the toppings! Did I count them? No. Did I stop to think about it? Also no. I just let my instincts take over, snipping away like a sculptor carving a masterpiece! 🏆 My vision? A massive, wide, fierce bush—one that will command attention and demand respect in the grow tent! With each topping, the lower branches gain strength, new nodes emerge, and the canopy expands like an explosion of green energy. 💡 Why top so much? • Forces the plant to spread wide instead of growing tall. • Encourages equal light distribution to all sites. • Increases potential flower sites for a bigger yield. • Strengthens stems & structure to support those future fat buds!

Her color is deepening, the growth is picking up speed, and she’s responding to the training better than expected. ⸻ 💡 Grow Conditions – The Perfect Playground Under the FOG LED, every leaf is catching that perfect spectrum of light, while the TrolMaster keeps everything dialed in. The environment remains stable, and this girl is flourishing. 🔹 Temperature & RH: Same steady balance, keeping the plant happy & stress-free. 🔹 Airflow: Increasing to keep her breathing fresh & growing strong. 🔹 Defoliation: Light trims to expose lower growth & keep airflow optimal. ⸻ 📢 A Big Shoutout to the Whole Squad None of this would be possible without the dream team behind the scenes! 🙌 Much love to: 🔥 Seedsman Seeds – For this legendary strain that just keeps impressing me. 🔥 Aptus Holland – Keeping her nutritionally dialed in and thriving. 🔥 TrolMaster & Future of Grow LED – Precision control & lighting for the ultimate environment. 🔥 PRO-MIX Soil – The living foundation fueling these roots! 🔥 Cannakan, Grow Diaries & The Community – For all the love, support & passion we share. And of course… huge respect to YOU, whether you’re here to learn, cheer, hate, or just be curious—this space is for everyone! 🎤🔥 ⸻ 📣 Join the Journey! 🚀 This week, I’m launching something new & exciting over on Instagram, and I want all of you to be part of it! 🎥💚 So hit me up, let’s connect, and keep pushing the plant love movement forward! 💬 How do you train your plants?
