🌱 Week 3, Day 7 Update: Buds Are Blooming! 🌿
Hey Grow Fam,
We're cruising through Week 3, and my girl is really coming on—buds are starting to form, and it's a sight to behold!
The girl is growing so fast now, drinking 4.5L a day. She could even do with in-between waterings, in my opinion. She's aiming for the stars and shooting for the moon, getting bigger every day and stinking out my room. I had to tie my light higher up with some rope as it wouldn't go any higher, and shoots were getting way too close! I did SCROG when flipping, and I should've been a bit more strict on it (did it longer), but now I realize why SCROG is used. Imagine if I never used it—she would be way too tall. Overall, I'm so happy with how she is growing and can't wait to see the final product. :)
But, as with any journey, we've hit a little bump in the road. Despite keeping our feeding consistent at 850ppm, the runoff readings have been creeping up. Last check-in showed a runoff of 1400ppm. It's got me thinking we might be dealing with a salt buildup in the root zone.
To address this, I'm sticking with our feeding routine at 800-850ppm. If the runoff ppm keeps climbing or if our plants start showing signs of nutrient burn, I will adjust accordingly, but as of right now, I'm sticking to the same feed as she looks great! (
If I do begin to notice signs of nutrient burn (excess), I will try to water with a lower EC/PPM, like 700ppms, to bring it down. But if I don't get the results I'm hoping for, I will just flush the plant with 3x the media size of water (just plain pH water) to wash out any old salts and reset the medium. You don't really want to do this with coco depending on what stage your at in flower, veg on the other hand flush.? Sure!, if you really need to reset that medium go for it, (i do see tiny signs of burn but thats fine if it gets worse then i have a problem)
Let's stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize—beautiful healthy buds. We've got this!

420 Fastbuds Week 7
Gorilla Cookies Auto
Hello everyone. I hope all is well. Weekly update for these two beautiful ladies. They're definitely advancing nicely with flower sites getting bigger daily it seems. No big issues that I can see besides the fading in the leaves which this far into flower is expected. All in all Happy Growing.

Week 7 started, plants are going well, biscotti mints 1 looks a bit behind of biscotti mints 2.. I flushed both plants, one in the beginning of the week 7 and number 2 after it dried out from last watering yesterday..
breeder says plants will be ready in 8-9 weeks so now only water and watch the trichomes to harvest in the best time 🙌🏼

If I look at the other diaries of that starins I think half of the bloom is already done. I think around 4-5 more weeks and I can finally harvest. They are just stunning. My best grow so far and am really happy how the girls perform. It's great to watch them and I can't get enough taking a look into the tent. Beside that we dealed with a lot of rainy days in germany lately so I needed to start the dehumidifier earlier as am used to. Middle of the week I needed to refill the tank, because they were super thirsty. I will reduce 25% of my scheme for the next tank refill coming next days because I see lighty signs of nutrient burn. It's needed to reduce the scheme a bit since I removed a lot of biomass lately.
So, to the last weeks!

Day 8 - First official day of veg and both ladies are right on time for a small adjustment in lighting, PH and nutrients. 10ml of Hydro A & Hydro B were added to both buckets (10L of water in each bucket) and the Milwaukee PH controller was set to work. Starting at a PH of around 7.8, it slowly worked down to a perfect 6.0 over about 50minutes. The lights were readjusted to be 60cm from the seedlings who are all between 8-10cm tall and the intensity of the lights increased to about 70% brightness.
Day 9 - Cheech is taking nicely to the adjustment in light and nutrients, but CG 1 is looking a little bit too perky. Going to give her 24 hours to adjust.
Day 10 - We have finally renamed CG 1. Fellow enthusiasts, meet Venezia.
Day 12 - The root systems are clearly visible in the ladies today
Day 13 - The ladies are looking well today. Venezia seems to be showing some light signs of heat stress with slight curling of the leaves. The lights are due to be adjusted tomorrow to account for the seedlings growth over the last week.

They’re looking extremely healthy..gave em their first nute feed with the last watering seem to be doing fairly well..fimmed the GG and LST. Did not touch the unkown as it looks smaller to be the same age. Running GHE base line with few extra supplements.
****UPDATE****
Both are LST’d..might rethink the way I tie them. Going for a “coil” type look, we’ll see though. They’re looking great! Hoping for females!

Mintz runtz auto is doing okay, she is building her colas and starting to get a aroma. I did a solution change on her today, along with some defoliation. It was looking like the light was too strong. So I turned it down to 75 percent. Thank you Elufah, Spliff, Atami, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱

Nuets as is
8/12
Moved the light up to 30" just looking for a veg sweet spot
8/13
Looking good so increased nuets to 10 and 10 of cocotek A&B
Lots of growth tips rising from the leaf tucking we always do
8/14
Defoliation day not a lot removed but enough to open the tops to light.
Flipping in 3...
8/15
Recovered from all defoliation and growth tips aplenty in the light
Increased nuets to 12ml/gal each of cocotek AB, drinking more now
Pic tonight
Flipping in 2...
8/16
Continue defoliation, minor and selective to expose growth tips.
Flipping in 1...

11/4 Week 6
Light training to get the buds in light and keep her dry.
Watered 11/3 one gal @6.5PH - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Karo syrup 5ml
Just keeping an eye on her
11/5 Gorgeous smell coming off her purple buds, reminds me of a taffy shop.
Drooling over her
Growing well got her into the canopy better.
11/7 Update and bragging! Watering/feeding day today, she loved it! She is turning so pretty! The deep purple looks like fairies stole in the night and are using the little brushes to color her leaves. He hairs stand tall! First strain I have seen with them this tall. The smell is sweet with a warmed fruit smell...for those that bake, closest I can come. Still have some questions as if this is a true Runtz. From her coloring and bud development and her leaf shaping she is a good match. Have added some close ups of my lady for anyone out there wanting to take a stab at figuring her out, any info would be welcome.
1 gal 6.5 PH - CalMag 5ml - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Bio_Bloom 5ml

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera semana de florscion de estas Gorilla Melon feminizadas de fastbuds.
Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor.
Y ya superaron el shock provocado por el mismo trasplante.
El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%.
Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

This week unfortunatly i had to supercrop a few gelato tops that were outgrowing the canopy. The strech from the gelato was more than what i was anticipating and the huge leafs that she has doesn't make it easier.

Hi everyone 🤗
Today I cleaned the entire system thoroughly and rebuilt it :-).
8 cuttings were cut by the Gelato mother.
I do not yet know how many I am going to do this time, the last time I went with the Blue Gelato 41 I had topped 4 cuttings at the end :-)
I will decide spontaneously as soon as the time comes 👍.
Why the gelato?
because it had an incredible taste the last 2 times on soil and I want to know how it tastes on aero 😍.
As always, a new update will follow every week 👍.
I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

Bien aquí esta el día esperado la cosecha, es mi primer cultivo y considero que lo logre. En muchos medios de lectura y en especial en vídeos mencionan que no puedes esperar mucho es tu primer cultivo. En mi caso es falso y lo demuestro ya que si aprendes, investigas por cuenta y lees lo suficiente, obtendrás un alto porcentaje de que los resultados se den. Muy contento con mi plantas y sus tonos morados. Puntos a mejorar tener una carpa de cultivo y por su puesto un extractor de humedad para que baje la humedad preferiblemente a 45 grados
Vendrán mejores contenidos y cosechas mas abundantes. Gracias a todos por su vistas y comentarios. Saludos y bendiciones!

They survived the nutrient burn pretty well that they got from early transplanting. All have been connected to the autopot tank.
The Mango Sherbet has been topped, the Apple Blossom and one OCP have been mainlined. Especially the Apple Blossom is growing like hell. Never had better genetics so far. Even though I topped/mainlined them there hasn't been any slow down or still stand in growth at all.
Also I've connected the pump to the airdomes on the first 3 in the lower row as the leaves already reached the edges of the pots.

This is a fastflowering test strain and I have no real information on the genetics. I'm guessing the flowering time of 58 days is about right for a fast flowering strain.
I trimmed her after 12 days of drying and got 32g of decent solid buds and 10g of not as dense buds that may go with the trim to make some hash.
Stats for the grow.
FFNA2410=42g
FFNA2411=45g
FFNA2412=43g
Acapulco Gold=44g
Total=174g
Expected hash from trim 28g
Power used for whole grow in 114 days.
Lights=201.7Kw (201.7×0.25)(=£50.42)
201.7÷114=1.769kw per day light average.
Average 100w for veg
Average 150w for flower.
Light average for grow 125w.
174÷125=1.39g/W for the light.

The flowers are starting to form, and I’ve decided not to follow the fertilizing schedule recommended by the manufacturer. I’m concerned that adding more nutrients at this stage could lead to over-fertilization. There’s good airflow around the lower part of the plant, and soon I’ll apply a preventive antifungal treatment, since the environment here tends to be humid during the winter due to frequent rain.

The girls have survived another week ❤️ I did a light defoliation and have been monitoring the RH closely. We have had a very damp week here, and the RH kept climbing and had my fan working hard.
They are starting to plump up and fill in 😋. They have also started to slow their drinking habits, instead of watering every three days, it has moved to every 4 now. Just a couple of weeks left, I think I will be harvesting these over Christmas 🎄, and will have some great bud ready for the new year! 🎉🎊🍾
