GORILLA MELON / 420FASTBUDS WEEK #21 OVERALL WEEK #10 FLOWER This Lil lady showed up and showed off for being in a 16 oz. grow cup from BUDTRAINER and my first photo grow in a grow cup she handled all the training and produced many bud sites. Buds are dense and covered in trichomes she's got a sweet gas smell to her!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! THANK YOU 420FASTBUDS!!! GORILLA MELON / 420FASTBUDS

Not a bad strain inbox for info on growing it Seem to keep wasting money with fast buds as out of 3 seeds I never get 100vpercent germination success never have so might try diffrent genetics from now on as I’m a loyal customer to them only ever grew there strains and they never send me care packages like other growers I see and other company’s have done to me so yeh time for DRSHOTZUK 🍀🍀🍀🍀

So this round I just lollipopped and didn’t strip the top at all, with better veg next round it’ll work better but I’m having issues with some plants not quite trellised how I’d like. Everything smells great, BCS,BD and WM are getting fat and PKB is frosty and tight. Watering is more of a chore than I’d like I think I’m just going to use some 5s for the next round . Thanks for following along I hope your buds are fat and frosty.

Week 13. Looks good, smells good, doesn't strech, just getting fatter, ... the fatter the better) Trichoms on some leaves are getting ember already. That's a surprize, as I initially expected it to flower 9-10 weeks, and so far she is through 5 weeks of floweri ng. Anyways, not foing to rush so far, I believe there's more potential in it. Waterring /feeding is the same, 1 liter every 2 days with 5ml of plagron flowering smthn) Thank you for checking!

Flowers coming along well, with frost now developing. Nutrient strength increased now they're gonna be eating a lot more. Remo grow reduced slightly now they're slowing their growth, but Bloom and AstroFlower have been increased to favour PK for flower development. Day 28 will be the last day feeding Growth Tech Liquid Silicone as it takes the longest to completely flush out of the plant. I never feed silicone later than this in flower otherwise you risk hard, black ash with a horrible burn in the end.. More leaves have been stripped here and there to slow growth and to allow the light to penetrate deeper, uncovering flower sites. Leaf stripping is a great technique to stunt the growth of selected branches, allowing the others around to catch up and meet the top of the canopy more evenly 🦊

23.08 The Drainmaster moved into the tent to control the drain. Defoliated and lollipopped them. 25.08 First run with the drain system. Nutrient Solution (Tank): Volume: 8.5 L EC: 3.05 pH: 5.5 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Micro/Grow/Bloom + CalMag Irrigation Run: Pump time: 30 minutes Total Drain: 5.0 L (≈ 60%) Drain EC: 2.6 Drain pH: 6.0 🔎 Observations Drain volume was far too high (target is ~20%). Drain EC lower than input EC → medium was relatively “empty”, plants absorbed nutrients quickly. pH drift from 5.5 → 6.0 shows some buffering effect left in the reused substrate, but limited. Substrate behaves more like coco than soil now (low buffer, fast response). 💡 Insight / Lesson Learned 30 minutes pump time is way too long → resulted in 60% runoff instead of 20%. For 8 × 1 L pots, a single irrigation event should be ~1.0–1.2 L total, with ~200–250 ml runoff. Solution: shorten pump time to ~5 minutes and re-test runoff. Better approach: run shorter, more frequent irrigations (daily) with a lower EC (2.0–2.2), instead of heavy feedings (EC 3.0) only 3× per week. This will keep EC more stable in the root zone and prevent salt buildup in the tiny 1 L pots. 27.08 Adjusted the pump timer to 5 minutes, gave the first dose of PK13/14.

She is starting to fade on her own... I will start flushing her today... 👊😎

6nov11pm.After 2 weeks. 3 day since transplantation. pH meter broke. Humidity around 50%. Light intensity: 50%.

Я так и не понял FastBuds, может потому что в моей стране война, каждый день были ракетные обстрелы и я не смог нормально выращивать. Обновления 13.05.2023 русские террористы продолжают убивать мирных людей. Очередной ракетный обстрел Украины 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦. Моё утро началось не с кофе а из 13 взрывов ракет. россия и русские это террористы, убийцы, преступники.

March 3 Start of week 6 pistils turn brown already buds need to get fat now march 7 buds start to swell now

Update: Watering & Feeding Log "Today, I watered the two Bruce Banner 🥦 in the back with 2.4 liters each. The water was pH-adjusted to 6.34. As a preventive measure against pests, I added 1 million SF nematodes to the solution.😤 Nutrient Schedule (per Liter): • Hesi Bloom Complex: 2.3ml / L • Hesi Phosphorus Plus (PK): 1.2ml / L • Hesi SuperVit: 1 drop (as per instructions) • Plagron CalMag Pro: 0.8ml / L I skipped the Alfa Boost this time because it tends to lower the pH 🍋further than desired. Environment & Lighting: • LED Power: 88% 💡 • Light Intensity: ~730-825 PPFD • Distance to Canopy: 34cm" #Viparspectra #LED Grow

27/04/22 CONTEST TIME! 😍 I'm very happy to announce that I've been selected for "Best Diary of the Year - Edition 2022" 😍😍😍🎉 Third year as grower and first time with this strain. 🙋‍♂️For those that don't know me, I'm a 100% OUTDOOR grower from Italy, great supporter of efficient and simple things; I love experimenting and always learning for my errors and this what I do also when growing 💪 🌱 The candidate for this new diary is a "White Widow Auto" by Ganja Farmer Seeds. I would like to thank @GanjaFarmerSeeds for sending me these seeds and allowing me to take part to their contest. I will update the diary once a week and in particular the first day of each week. "Day 0" will be assigned when the first leaves will come out from the soil. #OUTDOORGANG #PRAISE_THE_SUN - DD

Happy Easter. According to my calculations, the final week is beginning. Or the second to last. Let's see. I defoliate everything that has turned yellow. I think I read once that shortly before the end it is normal for the plants to draw all their nutrients from the leaves. So everything looks good, I think. Oh yes, I put my fan on the ceiling “McGyver-style”. Functions. Have fun looking for eggs.

Wow these girls are growing fast now they have been flipped, had to put net in to control stretch over the next few weeks, slight smell at the moment mostly a slight ammonia smell mainly. See you next week 💚🌴🌱🙏

Beautiful couple of phenos of haze berry, they're starting to produce some trichomes and I'm starting to feel that tropical fruity smell so tipical in this amazing strain, let's see how this ladies keep developing those buds! Stay tuned everybody! ❤️💚💛👨‍🌾

Critical x Animal Cookies is stunned from the too much nutrition at the start. Plus everything was neem oil sprayed this last week. I had russet mites in the next grow space over. So I wanted to treat everything that was vegging plus the problem plant. So she got her first solution change today. So hopefully she takes off. No training this week with spraying. She is growing under the Hortibloom Solux 350. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 60 and a new week, with lady #2 starting to show her age by getting some more yellowish fan leaves. Sugar leaves on both started to show a very lovely, deep violet color. By breeder information they should be ready in 60–63 days. I guess it will be a few more in my case. Lady #1 is foxtailing a bit. Summer grow, definitely, and it was over 30 °C outside most of the daytimes, so I couldn’t avoid peak temperatures of more than 31 °C fully. Like every indoor grower – no restriction to this kind of plant only – I like to see self-grown green become big and bushy, but I guess with a 1,60 m tent it‘s better to stick with shorter specimen. Even some fan leaves are getting into their autumn dress now, and wow, I like their style! Pistils are still white to more than 50%, so ne reason to check for harvest proximity or to feed them pure water only. Day 62: With their cola foxtailing, tallest bud is now at 91 cm. Color is gaining saturation. A bit more intense leaf curl on very few of the uppermost leaves; nothing to worry about at this stage. Think I can do a microscope tour soon, even if I know it’s too early. ;)

First signs of flowering 😃 and she's really stretching now 😁
