Well they definitely made progress in the flowering dept over the weekend! I came back home to find a nice amount of bud sites and pistil growth all around. Bubba ya gotten so big it can’t fit under my lights in the tent with fan & filter, so it’s now been moved to the other tent. Kind of fucks with my auto grow I had planned, but not much I can do

Hi all buddies! First crop from hydro nft growth. Growth went well, I had some management problems in changing nutrients from veg to bloom which delayed the harvest for a week or two. Sensi Seeds' Skunk # 1F is incredibly resistant to mold and insect attacks, very close internodes ensure low height and compact buds. Unfortunately I chose the mother phenotype wrong, I found the lowest as I wanted but I lost the fatness of the buds present in other phenotypes, but the game was worth the same and I am very proud of it! I collected after 94 days of flowering, the last 72h 20kg ice cubes in the tank and total darkness which the last 24h without irrigation. After cutting I hung the whole plants in the tent for 24 / 48h 19 ° C 55% HR. Two days of wet trim to 8 girls and I hung their colas in the tent to continue drying. With a girl i tried dry trim but i will avoid next time. After a week in the tent I cleaned the colas and removed all the sticks, I placed everything in airtight bags in the refrigerator for 5 days 12 ° C 65% HR (daily check). Now dark storage room at a temperature of 18 ° C 65% HR. At the last weighing a few days ago it was more than 500g, from now it does not lose any more weight. Next week I will take pictures of the weigher and the finished harvest🍀🍀🍀 target!!🍀500g dry/cured🔥 Thank you GD community you are precious for everything, criticism, advice, curiosity, thanks 💚🌱✊🏼 Awesome people here on GD🔥🔥🔥

No training has been done to this girl. Only thing I can control is the height of the light which is currently at 24”. She started showing slight tip burn. I’ll have to start mixing separately now from the 6 shooter feed as she seems more sensitive and requires less PPMs. Next feed will be lowered to 500-600ppms. She is showing no signs of pre-flower but lower nodes are trying to stretch out from under the extremely dense canopy. The leaves are massive and very Indica prominent, the exact opposite of her roommate.

Tester FBA2502 – 42 Fast Buds | Day 72 This autoflower has exceeded all expectations! The plant is compact yet very productive — the side branches almost rival the main one. The buds are dense, heavily coated in resin, and fully covered with trichomes. Flowering finished right around day 72, and trichomes are about 15% amber. The aroma is incredibly strong and intense, with a sharp, chemical-like punch — powerful and penetrating. Grow details: • Nutrients: Xpert Nutrients • Light: Mars Hydro FC-3000 EVO • Pot size: 11 L • CO₂: used during veg and for 4 weeks of flowering • Strain: Tester FBA2502 by Fast Buds (autoflower, exact genetics not revealed yet) Harvest and trichome check coming soon!

Mar 9th -start of week 11, day 71 - grabbed a few trichome shots this morning. Real macros tonight. Decision time is nearing with ~85-90% cloudy trichomes... clear takes the cake with a few Ambers coming into being... time to look close - RTB #1 gets a close inspection tonight, I think its first-one Done. Pistils give it away. If there are Ambers to any degree its lights out - Zamaldelica is beyond normal flowering time, I’m waiting for the pistils to have 60-70% of them turned brown / orange. Thats tonights check. 11th a.m. - fed the Russian Tzar Bomba 2 & the Zamaldelica, 4 L of water each @ 7:00 a.m. - RTB#2 was placed in the Dark Tent at Lites-out (11:00) for 48 hours of Dark. - RTB#1 gets chopped,, weighed and Hung tomorrow morning… after her 48hrs of dark. Its Time! - Zamaldelica, whilst past her projected grow date by 2 weeks, her Pistils have finally begun to change colours from a Creamy white/yellow to Orange, currently there are close to 20-25% of them turned already. I’m putting her in the dark when 60-70% have turned 12th - chopped the Russian Tzar Bomba #1 after being in the dark for 48 hours. 372 grams of Hanging-plant to start with. - RTB #2 is in the dark 24hrs now and gets chopped tomorrow morning 13th - RTB #2 was chopped and weighed this morning: 380 grams of wet hanging-weight. It seemed obvious, visually, that the small plant would weigh more. With the bigger structure / frame I was sure the tall plant would produce more. Not so - Zamaldelica could be chopped Saturday morning… 15th - last day of week 11 and I believe its the last Nite of Light for the Auto Zamaldelica. 11 full weeks of Love for a 8-9 week auto-cycle. The BBP applications have extended the development of this plant. BBP is known to add a couple of weeks to some cultivars growth and it has done this to the Zam. Trichomes are 90% cloudy and the Pistils have remained a yellowy-white. This last week has seen the Pistils begin to Darken and are seem to be retracting Into the buds. Almost 50% have turned. We’ll see in the morning where we are. Not really interested in taking the grow into week 12. We’ll see tonight/tomorrow. Planning for the plant to enter 48 hrs of dark in the a.m. tomorrow. Last lite for Zam, tonight 16th a.m., took a few images just before the Official Lites-out for this Grow. Zamaldelica was Not part of the official Diary but I could not leave it undocumented, given her fame and poor performance on the 1st attempt. And she shared the Tent!! She’ll be followed and documented, next time Mar 17th 22:00 pm - for the record, Auto Zamaldelica tipped the scales at 402 grams. A True Beauty. - both RTB are hanging nicely @ 60% R.H. and 17.5c Mar 22nd - and on day 10 of hanging the RTB# 1 is doing amazing. No branches snapping, hanging in 62% RH @16c. The other plants are just a day or 2 behind. Leaves trimmed etc, all seems perfect Mar 25th - day 14 of the cure (targeting 20) and things are fully in cure mode. No branch snaps, at all, when twisting a Nug. - steady at 16c and 60-62% R.H.

15 seeds germinated. 100% success rate. Seeds have been planted in a mix that has volcano ash and bat guano. The mix gets the seeds off to a great start without the worry of adding nutrients. Over the next few days they'll receive water twice a day. We water about 100ml at a time 3x a day. We water in circular motion to encourage the roots to grow out.

Switched to flower nutes too early. Back to full strength terp tea grow 711. Atleast for the next 2 weeks, maybe less. 5/1/24 Plant is stretching now. FYI just to clarify, I switched lights to 12/12 on 4/20 but I am considering her being in veg still until I see more pistils. Probably the end of this week. After a 2 week transition period 5/3 2 days later and I need to get my damn camera in the tent! This stretch is starting to look like nursery explained. She’s supposed to triple in size. I thought I tied her down too much and she would stay short. I swear she’s grown an inch over night. Starting to dominate the tent. Literally 2 days ago, I said that I didn’t consider this week to be flower and still the transition phase. Now she looks like she’s fully in the flowering phase. She’s beautiful and I’ve been impressed since veg. Since I chose her as a clone I liked the way she was. Hoping she follows through🌱💚

The final day of week 10 already! The buds are still getting fatter, the trichome development is still on it's way. I will check the trichomes twice a week and im waiting for around 10% amber. Nutrients and EC is lowered again this week, harvest is around the corner im sure of it! Hot summers are rough here, airconditioning is trying to keep the temps down. I quite like the phenotype. It has quite some node space making for an easier trim. Also the amount of calyxes is huge and the density to it is super compact as well. Fade is really starting to show and leaves are starting to fade.

Ein Zelt ist voll in der Blüte und neigt sich schon langsam dem Ende zu. Das andere Zelt frisch in der Blüte hat einen starken thripse Befall -- Raubmilben + Blautafeln reingehängt und aufs beste hoffen

Been feeding PH6.2 water with bud candy (sugars) for a few days and will continue until harvest. The buds packed in pretty well, as you can see one of them is around 14" tall and fat. Pictures dont do this plant justice in bud size because it is very leafy. The smell is mild, frosting is mild and I have another week to go at least..... todays feeding will get Final Finish additive to help wash nutrients out and hopefully get a fade happening. Added a video today :)

🌿 LA Punch by The Cali Connection 🌿 Week 7 Flower-day 2 16/10/2025 Nutrient change Floramax veg 1: 1L Floramax flowering enhancer: 400ml Floramax organabud:400ml Floramax rezin: 100ml ( around 1/4 dose) Floramax cal mag: 100ml Gp3 pro cal: 100ml ( unfortunately ran out and won't have any until next week ) Gp3 massive bloom: 100ml Cyco platinum series silica: 200ml Sleeps with the fishez: 400ml ( half dose system shock testing to see of this minimises/prevents problems per nutrients change like i was having ) Ph 5.9-6 - EC 2.2-2.3 ( Floramax wants e.c of 2.4, so I'm doing .1-.2 under for now to see how she responds LST and Defoilation is finally done on her, LA punch might get another LST tweak and a couple more Defoils. Unsure yet she's staying very tight so its a little harder to gauge how she'll respond I thought I should add, with the way I lst, I like to get as much defoilation out the way before flipping to flower that way all she does in flower is just get fat and lovely. Seemed to work well coming from only doing Autoflowers so just using that knowledge and implementing to my photo grows and tweaking it

Inhale for 13s, Exhale for 13s, Inhale for 8s, Exhale for 8s, Inhale for 5s, Exhale for 5s, Inhale for 3s, Exhale for 3s, Inhale for 1s, Exhale for 1s, Alignment. 1.618 More energy, more blueprint. A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. It's a secret. Ancient biochar-rich soils in the Amazon basin (known as Terra Preta) provide evidence of carbon stability lasting over 500 to 2,000+ years. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what I give mine. Can even add N in its NH4+ form

Day 114 since seed touched soil. Again troubles .... Came to check them and found tent dark. Normally theirs day was in the night, now one day we again had no electricity and everything moved 8 hours, so day is day now .... Humidity spikes as hell. I dont want to make wounds, so no defoliation ... just too big of a risk to damage or bring infection in .... Ground level 99% rh, canopy level - 85, lights level - 80 .... never grew in such hight, i did in 65-70 without problems, but this goes overboard ... Drinking slowed down, will reduce volume by 20% next watering. One more feed left. Keeping sticky pads as prevention and it helped to catch 50 or so bugs and maybe prevent infestation. Gnats mostly ... This this girl will fight for first spot by weight, she is packing nice. Maybe see some foxtailing ... 10 days till chop !!! Hope no bud rot !!! Happy Growing !!!
