This plant has been a Beast has been going very healthy and very strong I have been defoliation heavily to ensure maximum light penetration into the canopy in order to make them ready for flowering cycle . Currently running on 12/12 cycle. I will continue to update thank you for reading have a happy grow

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2202 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 1/19- Here we go into Week Four of flower and these testers are ON FIRE!🔥🔥🔥 Both testers are in a flower frenzy and are ready to eat! Today I gave both girls their last top dressing with Down To Earth 4-8-4 Flower Mix at a ratio of 2tbsp/g and Coast of Maine's Stonington Blend 5-2-4 Organic Plant Food at a ratio of 1tbsp/g which I simplified by using 1/3 cup of the 4-8-4 and 1/4 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 4g pot and 3/8 cup of 4-8-4 and 1/8 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 3g pot. After working the amendments into the medium, I watered it in with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. It will take a week for the microbes to begin breaking it down and will last for 3-4 weeks after that which should coincide with them finishing up, or close to it, enabling them to naturally 'flush' themselves out. The #1 tester that has had the weird coloring and leaf texture is a beast @ 26" tall and I'm happy that she's come around! In my experience, more times than not I've had plants with issues when they started and debated yanking them but let them stay and all, and I mean every one, have turned out to be epic. I guess it's just dumb luck, or the fact I hate to kill any plants if I don't have to! 😎💚 The # 2 is doing exceptional as well and is beginning to get some purple coloration of the leaves in her flowers! I've also increased the power to the HLG 650R's the the Trolmaster Hydro X Controller to 75% which has them pulling 990w at the wall and have them hung 32" above canopy. I also starting adding in 4 hours of UVA during the middle of the light cycle for the remainder of flower. I've been monitoring their leaf temperatures and they're running 71-73℉ which is perfect! I have the AutoPilot APC8200 co2 Controller set to 1100ppm with a 100ppm window and the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 controller set to maintain a 74℉ temperature in the tent while the lights are on. 1/21- I'm watering these thirsty girls daily with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉ and they're both thriving! The #2 pheno stays in a perpetual state of 'praying'.... a VERY happy girl she is and the #1 is showing signs of purple coloration in her flowers! 1/23- I watered/fed both testers today with 0.75g of de-chlorinated water each with GreenGro's Natures Brix, Granular Myco and Flower Finisher mixed in, after which I added 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses and then ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉. They'll be getting straight water from here moving forward as the medium has enough food in it to support them until they finish. 1/25- Daily watering continued today with both girls receiving 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. OMG they're both looking fantastic with both looking tall and proud with a beautiful purple coloration expressing in their flowers and even into the leaves of the #2! I'm really looking forward to Week Five of flower where these ladies should really start to strut their stuff! 😍💚 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Harvested everything on the 11th will update when dry

Buenas noticias para esta semana. 1. La semana pasada comenté que tenía una planta desordenada, pues no me había percatado que la karpa tenía un orificio abierto en el techo y estaba entrando contaminación lumínica cuando dormía y por eso estaba débil. 2. Un loco que sabe más que yo, me dijo que las puntas amarillas es algo bueno en mis plantas y no algo malo, por lo que están saludables. 3. Las flores tuvieron un gran avance y ya se notan de mejor tamaño y un excelente aroma. 4. El calor y la humedad hacen que cada planta consuma 2 lts de líquido al día. 5. Voy a iniciar Pk1314 esta semana que sigue. Malas noticias 1. Ya no tengo mota seca jajaj Buenos humos

It was finally time to harvest her, what good times we had with her. Amazed with how beautiful this plant is, how easy to manage and train and how rewarding Orange Hill Special is. So we said our thanks and goodbye, thanked her for all the joy she gave while growing her. I realize more and more how I love growing them even more than the end-product. It takes my mind of all going on for a while, in my miniature jungle world in the attic. Im sure all of you just sometimes sit there and watch them, in wonder, dreaming away with a good buzz on, watching them wave in the wind of the fans. So with a heavy hart I apologize, play them their last music, sit with them and feel them and smell them, watch the glistening of the cristals. In the end we had 209 gram dried Orange Hill Special, I will know the total of the grow, in a few days, since the final big whopper still has to dry: my XtraKush, be sure to check the harvest of that one *in couple of days) and see a one-dollar seed outperform two 10 dollar seeds. I probably go over 500 grams for the total grow, which would be 1.6 grams per watt. Big success! Consider an SP-3000 for your next light, you won't be disappointed! Check www.mars-hydro.com for the latest discounts! Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting us try out your light, it made this successful grow possible! Greetings and all the best! Thank you to our friends here, our followers and the whole Growing Diaries community for just being there. Big Hug, Sunshine and BioBuds

last day ... harvest day ...

things are still going great. She’s still at 18/6 light schedule. No nutes yet, in a month or so I’ll start with molasses and water, for the natural sugars when I put into flower.

Hey guys so another week has passed these ladies have been repoted in there new 10 gallon pots for next month then will be put into 20 gallon pots for flower stage . Done some major supercropping on them over last week and am just going to continue to build my core structure to these ladies so I am able to flower with as little supports as possible . All going well so far and the monsters are well on way 😉

On flush, not sure why most has finished up first even though it's rather level

Comenzando semana 7 de estás nenas, aun las mantengo en 1L y hoy le hicimos su primera defoliación masiva, ahora a esperar que se recuperen para hacerle trasplante a maceta de 3,5L. La verdad no eh tenido muchos problema, todo sigue igual siguiendo el mismo orden de nutrientes, bacterias y hongos benéficos una vez por semana, enzimas ahora se las estoy dando día por medio o cada 3 día. Ya logramos sacar los primeros clones de la watermelon, punch y cookie y la thc bomb. la dss aun la tenemos tirando fuerza que no va mal pero no tenia espacio para más clones. Saludos

🌿 **Moby Dick Auto Grow Week 9 Update: Harvest Time Approaches!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exhilarating update on the progress of our Moby Dick Auto adventure as we hit Week 9 of the grow cycle. With excitement mounting and buds maturing, let's delve into the latest developments: 🌟 **Abundant Bud Growth**: At Week 9, our Moby Dick Auto marvels are truly showcasing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production reaching its peak. The once-tiny flowers have evolved into dense, resinous clusters, promising a generous harvest in the near future. Trichomes are abundant, signaling optimal cannabinoid potency and aromatic richness. 📏 **Final Phase of Flowering**: As we enter the final phase of the flowering period, our focus is on maximizing bud development while ensuring ideal ripening conditions. By meticulously managing environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we're creating the perfect environment for our plants to flourish and achieve their utmost potential. 🍃 **Leaf Aging and Nutrient Management**: As anticipated in the late flowering stage, some leaves may exhibit signs of aging as the plant redirects its energy towards bud formation. This natural progression indicates that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient regimen remains carefully calibrated, providing essential elements to support vigorous flowering without risking imbalances or deficiencies. 🔍 **Monitoring Trichome Ripeness**: With harvest drawing near, we're closely monitoring trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using magnification tools like jeweler's loupes or digital microscopes, we're scrutinizing trichomes for signs of ripeness, aiming for a blend of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of cannabinoids, as well as flavor and aroma complexity. 🌞 **Preparation for Harvest**: As we gear up for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering essential tools such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a hygienic and organized workspace to preserve the integrity of our precious buds. We'll employ proper post-harvest techniques and curing methods to safeguard terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In summary, Week 9 signifies a pivotal juncture in our Moby Dick Auto grow expedition, where patience and precision converge in anticipation of the impending harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the forthcoming update as we rejoice in the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation, yielding a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready for enjoyment and sharing. Happy growing! 🌿✨

Excelente experiencia, volvería a cultivarla nuevamente.

Finally finished stretching. Now the bud development begins.

Well this lady is fizzing off in all directions and has an absolute joy too watch grow and develop she is covered in thick hard purple war heads all over her and the berry smell coming off her is mouth watering and I cannot wait too chop her down possiblity the end of next week at this rate , Just look at those photos , wow

No hay mucho que comentar, sigo añadiendo humedad pulverizando con agua destilada 3 o 4 veces al dia. Y riego en cuanto veo que está "seco" A los 18 dias les hice un foliar con Hemplex , un bioestimulador. Con estas raices ya necesitan un transplante urgentemente, xd.

I decided to resume the diary and so is my peyote next to his buddy sour ripper. I bought an indoor one and left them there even though I am having problems with the temperatures and the miners

November 2nd marks another week of flower with "Ava". She's doing quite well with Juicy thick colas. November 3, 2021, Wednesday. Nothing new to report. November 4, 2021, Thursday. "Ava" is an absolute breeze, sometimes I forget I'm even growing her. She's grown with no deficiencies or need for feeding. She has be very content with her All Organic Grow. November 5, 2021, Friday. Ava has a tremendous amount of sugar leaves, just covered in tiny leaves. I am not looking forward to the extensive amount of trim work she's going to need. November 6, 2021, Saturday. Her calyxes are starting to explode. She's covered in sticky trichomes and seems to be happy. November 7, 2021, Sunday. Day of rest.
