🌱 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! #GrowUpdate #Week3 #BudsBlooming #KeepGrowing 🌱🌿

Strain: Fast Buds – FBA2504 Grow Type: Indoor Pot Size: 5 Gallon Medium: Coco and Perlite Nutrient Line: Athena Week 11 – Chop Day! She finally came down! FBA2504 was honestly a pleasure to grow super vibrant buds with a loud, sweet aroma that hit me every time I opened the tent. Watching her colors develop over the last few weeks made it even more exciting. Her structure held up beautifully too, no flopping or support needed. She’s now hanging and drying, and I’m really looking forward to the cure. Can’t wait to try her out! Catch you after the dry update and don’t forget to use my code ISLANDT for 15% off your next Fast Buds order!

D25 - Today was the first day in week four of veg. I had planned on starting her training today, but I found thrips in my other tent, so I was busy with that. However, I inspected the girl but couldn't see any thrips and then sprayed her with some chili tincture as a preventative measure. D27 - I still haven't seen any thrips on her, but I resprayed her yesterday anyway, just in case. Today, I started her LST and did some very light defoliation by removing the lowest two nodes. I also noticed that she is now in flower. Unfortunately, she is still too small to hang the mites sachet on, so for now, I hung it on the handle of the pot instead. D31 - She is in flower now at the end of the fourth and last week of veg. She looks healthy and vibrant, but she is also relatively small, so it will be interesting to see how she develops. It's the first time I have ever transplanted, so maybe I accidentally stunted her. But then, I've never grown this strain before, so I don't know what to expect either.

420Fastbuds FBT2310 Germination Week Time has come yet to start another amazing Tester strain from 420Fastbuds FBT2310. Started germination on 2/7 by soaking the seed in just water for 48hrs then planting it directly in the soil (Roots Organic 707) in a 3gal fabric pot. I spray the top soil with my gallon sprayer keeping it moist for the next week. After 48hrs in the soil we have sprouts that emerged that appear to be healthy and happy. All in all Happy Growing

First week of flower has been completed. Much happier in the warmer tent with more intense light and a bigger pot. I trimmed her up to have 4 mains and a couple of strong side branches. Hoping for a stretch. ✌️💚🌿💨

Day 82. Its 81 day from seed touched soil ! If leaves would be healthier, i would run them at least one more week, but it is, what it is. They spent 24 hours in darkness and now its Trim Jail !!! ;))) Harvest Day ! Day 88. Tried bud from each, clearest weed straight from drying rack ! Only 3 feeds makes huge difference to harshness at the beggining. Still Queen is pure Tangie, can it be seed mistake ? ;))) Day 89. Boy i am f@ckingly surprised !!! Heather - I love You, Your team, Your strains !!!! I still don't get how, but numbers are amazing, Thank You very much !!!!

Elle pousse très rapidement mais la trouve très fine. Toujours au engrais croissance. Je pense avoir remarqué des organes mâle sur la plante. si vous pouvez m'éclairer, vous pouvez voir une photo de ces organes mâle. Faut ils les couper ou les garder pour récupérer les graines ? Semaine prochaine je passerai le journal de culture en floraison.

Week 1 Flower – Menta de Croco 🌿✨ The flip is finally here! After 12 weeks of veg, our mutant beauties have officially entered flowering mode! This is a huge milestone, and I couldn’t be more excited to start identifying which ones are males and which are females. Let the phenohunt begin! 🎯 They are thriving under the FOG LED and wasted no time responding to the flip—just a few days in and they are already showing signs of flower formation. Now, it’s a waiting game to see how many keepers we have to play with. Fingers crossed for a female-heavy batch! 🤞 Feeding & Environment 🌱 This week, I made a small but important change to the feeding: Increased Aptus All-in-One Liquid from 1.2 ml/L → 1.5 ml/L This brings EC to 1.1 pH is locked in at 5.9 Still running the Aptus Holland Clean Program (Mineral Line): Regulator RO Water Conditioner System Clean (even without a system, keeping things pristine) The plants are responding perfectly, so we’re staying on track for an explosive flower cycle! 🌸 Scrog Net & Setup 🕸️ This week, I also set up a scrog net. Not because these girls particularly need it, but because they are sharing the space with another plant that does. Still, it’ll be interesting to see how they interact with it as they stretch and settle into flower. It’s been a long journey to get to this point, and now the real fun begins! A huge thank you to: 💚 Terpyz Genetics – For the crazy unique mutants 💚 Aptus Holland – Keeping them thriving 💚 Trolmaster – Precision control 🔥 💚 Future of Grow – For pushing the limits of cultivation 💚 The Grow Diaries Community – Whether you love or hate, we’re all here sharing knowledge!

Everything went well, the humidity was a little high because it was in an unsuitable space, but the plant is very strong and evolved well even after defoliation.

Week 8 for Strawberry Gorilla by fastbuds Don't notice much growth to be honest think its due to this plant being in a darkish shed because we've had super strong rain storms pretty much the whole week... Which really isnt ideal at this point😓But seems like the rain is over now LETS HOPE! She was fed once this week with some FPJ, Regulator, Enzym+ & Topbooster by @aptus_portugal right at the start of the week. Humidity has been so high that the pots still seem very heavy. I was thinking she would be done in 2ish weeks but seems like it may take its full life cycle to get her done.

The Afghani has filled out really well. The smell coming from this plant is sweet and skunky. The cold night temperatures are causing the leaves to turn purple and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. I'm having a hard time with identifying the difference between milky and clear trichomes. They look cloudy to me with a few areas that are still clear. I'm hoping to harvest next week but I may have to go another week.

She's starting to fatten up nicely! Terps still off the meter,and the roots are ridiculous. Definitely one of the best plants I've ever grown.

Week 5 - Day 39 - 20/03/20 Coming along well, grown 12/13 inches since last week. Plants hit 28" to 31". I tied down the plants and spread open the centre of each pot, as you'll see from images, flowering well. No issues, no problems with nutes l, recovered well from a light flushing,. Doing a 4ltr feed per pot every 2 days, however I'm only feeding nutes once a week, followed by straight water feed. Sticking to pH.6.3 ;) It's beginning to hum, let's see what's happens next Day 42. Some plants showed signs of nitrogen deficiency. Push more nutes more frequently rather than a single nute feed a week. Watering plants 4lrs a pot to ensure there's some run off. Feeding once every 2 days.

Filling in nicely has a great smell starting to frost up. My haze beast smells very sweet like fruit loops cereal. Light took a crap almost 10 days ago only 9 months old. Its a medic grow smart 8. After dealing with getting it replaced in the middle of a grow I am done with them. They make a great light, but the service is terrible. You are forced to work with someone in China who will respond to you at 2am. I had to call, text, email, FB msg and msg through IG to get a response and someone to replace my light. It should be here Tuesday. I bought a Mammoth mint today and am going to run that from now on. 11/20 Grape God has a smell of grape and rubber is the best way I can describe it. The haze beast smells Identical to fruit loops almost caught up to the GG in height.
