FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. 👀👀👀👀👀👀 Observations and changes 👀👀👀👀👀👀 27.10.25 VW27 noticed some min burnt tips so I decreased Calcium Nitrate 45 to → 40g, decided to add two more elements micros and Epsom salts just to make sure they got everything, Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g, Epsom salts: 8 g 28.10.25 VW27 she seems devoid of any deficiencies, seems ready for the flip to 12/12 02.11.25 VW27 girl is looking good so I decided to stop making daily videos and do a standard once a week update. 09.11.25 aVW28 7 days since flip,stretch in full swing, first pistils showing, leaf color deep and healthy.

This week I tried some gentle LST by just bending the main branch over every day once or twice a day I didn’t use tie downs, I figured for my first grow I’ll keep it as simple as possible and see if I can even get it to harvest. It has definitely grown this week from last, and seems to be liking the 50-50 mix of FFOF and FFHF. I have noticed some yellow on the tips of a few leaves I’m assuming it’s cal mad deficiency comparing with others pictures but it’s minor. I have to say fast buds has a very hearty strain here it withstands well despite not having quite enough light, but I hope that’s something I can change in the future grows. I just worry that when she flips to flower she will struggle more under my lighting configuration and fox tail or larf out. That being said I’m intrigued to see what happens and see what she produces. I see her getting into a stretch getting taller daily and wanting more frequent watering I’m assuming I’ll start to see flower in week 5 or maybe 6. All in all I’m very happy for my first grow and the fast buds northern lights, I agree with others that say this strain is resilient. Happy growing!

🗓️ Week 11 – Flower Week 7 (MAC n Cheese only) This week brought a noticeable shift: After raising the input EC to 2.0, runoff EC spiked to 2.2–2.6 – a clear sign of salt saturation in the medium. Despite that, pH remained stable between 6.2–6.3, and no visible signs of overfeeding or nutrient lockout appeared. 🔧 Adjustment planned: Starting next watering, EC will be reduced to 1.6–1.7 to rebalance the substrate and maintain nutrient uptake efficiency. 🌿 Current plant status: MAC n Cheese is looking incredibly strong – healthy, vigorous, and showing no stress despite the high EC in the runoff. Frost production is in full swing now, and the buds are packing on serious weight. 🧀 Visuals & Flower Development: The buds are massive, dense, and coated in a thick frost layer – already resembling little icicles. She’s maturing into something special. ❄️🔥

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Day91 arrosage avec 30 centilitres d'eau ph6.3 Inspection des Trichomes (30% ambrés) la sénescence ce voit nettement ce qui fait que je récolte jeudi au jour 95 après sa sortie du pot... Le fait que la sénescence soit de plus en plus visible démontre que le planing mis en place de fendre le tronc ou jour 86 est impeccable. Les trichomes seront ambrés comme je le souhaite. Je m'étais fixé un poid sec de 16g je pense en être relativement loin mais je suis tout de même satisfait de ce diarie qui touche prèsque à sa fin et qui m'a procuré beaucoup de plaisir. Jour 92 arrosage avec 30 centilitres d'eau ph6.3 et ensuite je la plonge dans le noir 48h Cette méthode est sujette à controverse au sein de la communauté des cultivateurs, et il n’existe que des rapports anecdotiques quant à son efficacité. La plupart des cultivateurs qui s’y sont essayé n’ont pas remarqué la moindre différence en termes de puissance des têtes. Certains argumentent même qu’étant donné qu’il faut plusieurs mois pour faire grandir la plante, 1 journée ou 2 avant la récolte ne permettront pas de transformer du tout au tout le processus. Mais bon, si vous êtes du genre aventureux, testez-la. Que la force soit avec vous, 💪

Week 4 So we're 1 week into flowering. The growth has been amazing. The plants are taking the nutrients nicely. I just over watered one a bit, I'd let her dry out a bit before I continue to water. I also started to shaping th stems so the light distribution is equal. Don't for get to use my code STLVDXW for an extra 15% off your next order at fast buds #fastbuds See yal next week!

This plant is fo amazing I can’t hardly wait it’s just dripping with rezon and just gleaming in the light just about to stop feeding I’m going to probably flush with just water for 3-4 days then stop watering completely for 3-4 days then early mourning on that last day of dehydration chop chop chop

😀Well the other plant just kept giving , I am very impressed with the Spiderfarmer led , but we have noticed a demand for more calcium , or phosphorus I’m not quite sure which myself 🤔 Today is Sunday 19th , Day 79 from seed into cube Looks nice , very frosty , but dark , like a blackberry , I’ll post a smoke report in a couple of weeks Small plant gave 524 g of wet buds on stalks , bigger one gave 1016g of wet buds on stalks ; there is some popcorn 🍿 but it’s such a small amount maybe 100g wet I’ve had my first smoke today Sun 26 , and I would give a smoke report , but I’m too stoned so I’ll try again tomorrow 😜 Rizla silver KS ftw Small plant gave 96 grams of super dark purple , plant 2 dropped 188 grams , this one is my favourite at th3 moment , it’s more sativa and tastes beautiful.

So far, I can't comment on the effects and taste of the girl, because I was just weighing a wet product. The smell is strongly aromatic, the girl smelled the whole apartment. I no longer gave the girl nutrients, only clean water, and she remained in the dark for the last two days. I will dry the buds for about 10 days before I dry in the jars and update here. 😉 Update: The taste is sweet, delicate, does not scratch at all, the effect comes after a while. She's great. 😍

What can I say about this lady? Well let's see. She's sticky as hell. She's a 🔝 trichomes machine. Beautiful hard dense nuggets. Very spicy and piney aroma, very very strong, stinks my whole balcony. What a great a beautiful Gorilla strain man. Definitely will grow her many more times. Top Gorilla strain. 🦍👽💎 ❄️ Peace everybody! 💚 🌱 ✌️

****** Week 8 Flower, November 7 to 13, 2020 ****** Hey Growmies......winding this run down........they are ripening this week and next.......this is the second week of flush. Lights are down and temps are down to mimic fall. Just lots of plain RO water this week......keep flushing out the media👍 One is growing spears......the other is growing bats😂👍 So much fox tailing that there will be a good mixture of trichomes at different stages of ripening.......should make for good smoke! Trichomes are continuing to come out more and bud swelling has continued,👍 That’s what I have for a quick update gang........as you can see they are by themselves in the tent now......these girls have more Sativa in them and taking a little longer to finish......better for me with trimming as well🤪😃🙏

Hey people! I hope everyone is doing well! 👋 Here's the 15th week of my babies or the 4th of flower. All of them have been developing some really nice buds and trichomes keep appearing or getting bitter (or that's what it seems from all the photos I've taken!) 😃 This week I started giving my babies more potassium and phosphorus! I hope those products will help to get even bigger buds! At first tho I was a little worried because I thought I could end overfeeding and then nutrient locking my babies (the ppm of the water after I used all my nutrients was at 1400 and the vendor says I should be safe as long as I'm bellow 2200 ppm, which I was) from all the NP I would be giving them (which would've been awful) but everything went well! Leaves look healthy (a little more yellow, but I suppose that's normal!) 😍 My only problem this week has been Falco's chlorosis... it has also gotten worse (you'll see in the photos) 😢 and I decided to cut some of them to see if that helps (I assume those leaves are making her waste energies). Hopefully she'll be fine! I also made a small mistake in the week. For a second I thought one of my plants turned herm because she had developed a "sack". I later found out I was wrong and it was only a swollen calyx which made me relax a lot haha (I'm still such a noob 😱😂)... and that's all what happened this week. It was quite calm I believe! Right now I'm debating if I should remove all the small flowers/leaves at the bottom of the plant or just let them be (I don't want to over stress my babies x_x). I don't want them wasting energies in flowers that won't be as good as the others! Maybe I'll make a grow question out of this. Thanks all for reading! I hope you all like the photos I took with my DSLR and the timelapses! 😊
