Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. 😎🎄 I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather “rinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method 👊🇨🇦❤️

I put a net in to try to get a more even canopy and utilise the space of the tent. It didnt really work too well though. I ended up only leaving it in for periods as i found it really annoying to water and manage devices in the tent with the net in.

This is week 3 of flowering - realistically week 2 since pistils have shown. All is starting to balance out humidity and temps, I’m still running a bit too warm at 28 but al fix that further down the line. Done a light defoliation on week 2 and another light strip of blocking fan leaves today. I still can’t get this Lumi over 250w with the 2 Mars hydros middle running at 50% and the end right light running at 75% so I’m hoping later on I can reduce these Mars and atleast get 400w on the Lumi by week 4/5 flowering But all is looking well - strains that are already starting to chuck out is this purple punch x dosido and the rs11 smaller bushy pheno type are looking fire.

Plantitas sanas. Hoy cumplen 21 días de flora Día 22 comienzo con los fertilizantes de engorde.

se realizo una 2da poda apical a una de las plants la otra solo quedara con la poda apical inicial y se transplanto a maceteros de 11lts.

Posting this week so late. I dont know why i never ended this diary, but yeah... here it is :) BSF Gorilla Glue comes with tovely buds, gave a great yield for a beginner, and a very pleasant smoke at the end.

Day 65 past nutrition problems I believe have slowed growth. unfortunately on a plant I think I have problems with the compaction of the soil which has caused too much irrigation. the plant does not eat and a little slower than the others. now after 4 days to dry i will give only datpo water which seems to burn for nutrients, i believe brought about by the fact that they are deposited in the soil. all in all they continue to grow and hope for the best! 💚🌱

Week 8 - 05/03 - 05/10 Light - 400 W HPS & 265 W LED Temperature - 76 +/-2 Humidity - 55 +/-5 D1 Flower - This week will be the transition week for the ladies, each day reducing the light schedule by an hr. It worked pretty well last time so hopefully, this batch follows suit. I will change the MH bulb to an HPS midweek, along with switching on the bloom switch for the LED light. Added the Scrog net and ended up defoliating and cleaning up the underside a little bit. D4 Flower - Watered with nutrients and switched to an HPS bulb D7 Flower - Plants are doing great, nod spacing is nice and stacked. The transition eased the plants into flower, they are down to 12 on 12 off.

I need to learn how to clone better. Half of them died. No skylotus clones survived. ALL of the Terpenado clones are making roots but Space Monkeys didn't make it and half the Herer Hashplants made it. I can pinpoint a couple errors I made: 1.) Didn't sanitize a god damn thing. 2.) Didn't cut the stems at a 45 degree angle. 3.) Put waaayyy to many nutrients in the cloner reservoir. I mean...one the Space Monkeys was just rotting the humidity dome. Terp 3 clone didn't even droop. Terp 2 clone died and Terp 1 made it out as well. I took more cuttings this week and put then in Root Riots. I have a good feeling about them. So good that I think I will flip to flower this week. Terp 2 has developed a powdered milk with strawberry scent when doing a stem rub. The other two are the same. Terp 3 is offensive. I fucked up again when taking a cutting from Terp 1....snipped another top. She's gonna grow like a snake. I am being overzealous with the nitrogen. The leaves are quintessential nitrogen toxicity at this point. Gonna flush for a day or 2 and then flip. Day 39 - Flipped to flower today. Most of them are starting preflower and I tried to identify the sexes. I'm hoping atleast 2 of the Terps are female...we will see though. I really don't wanna build a bunch of male isolation chambers right now.....didn't feed today. They have plenty of nitrogen. Day 40 - I have a skylotus that was germed at the same time as the terps and HE is a male. I hear that males will preflower earlier. I'm going to use this as a reference point and assume that my Terps are females since they haven't sexed yet. Of course...I could be completely wrong. First day of 12/12 and they are thirsty af. Nitrogen ended up not being a problem. I fed them bloom nutrient today to kick start flower. The extra phosphorous should kick em into gear. Day 42 Terp 1: Bright Strawberry Smell, almost no gas undertones. Not sexing yet. Might have issues from vermiculite mixture. Terp 2: Bright berries with strong gas undertones. Earthy funk somewhere in there too. The least bushiest out of all of them but good node spacing. Started off the smallest but picked up good speed later. Kept up with #3 well. Definitely not as hardy as the other terps. Her clones died while Terp 1 and Terp 2's clones feigned death but eventually gave me strong roots. Terp 3: Funky Strawberries. Like...Strawberry Fanta cut with diesel and old Bustelo coffee grinds. No bright berry scent. Makes me gag a little. Growth is superb. Strongest out of all three and a hungry gal to boot. Confirmed female as of about 2 days ago. She's fast, hardy, decent node spacing and gave me her terpene profile a long time ago. Was bigger than my Crem De La Chem of 4 weeks at 2 weeks. Didn't stretch until flower switch. Got a healthy clone of her too. So far she's the winner.

I decided to give the ladies a extra week and I am glad I did these beauties have really fattened up Trichomes are all misty with a few Amber now is the time whoop whoop

I can’t say enough! Terpy piney gas, frosty, yield, beautiful bud structure! Just a perfect plant all around. 🏻💚

Diaries updated daily so please check back! Welcome to day 1 of week 4 aka day 22 since breaking ground. Nesia continues to impress, being by far the most advanced plant for her age that I have grown so far. I am very excited for this week in particular. She is following Karen's pattern exactly, except without the three week bad start. By the end of this week I expect she will be 50cm in diameter at least. Day 22.5: Performed LST on secondary nodes. Day 23.5: Fertigated. Adjusted pot and added risers. Performed some brutal LST. She's growing almost completely horizontal now. My plan is to train her around the pot circumference. She's currently about where Karen was at the end of week 5. She is consistently 10-11 days ahead of Karen so far. Exciting. Brutal LST honestly I'm basically torturing her at this point. Day 23.75: Fertigated 3l Day 24: Nesia has put on a lot of foliage growth in the last 24h. I am noticing a pattern here with defoliating, it seems that the plants seem to alternate between focusing on foliage growth and focusing on height. I am starting to think regular defoliation may reduce internode distance and stretching. I am going to test this theory a bit by letting both Nesia and Misty grow a bit now before I further LST the primary node. Removed a few fan leaves. Day 26: Reconfigured tent. See video. Nesia now has more light. Incidentally, I believe I have now corrected the Magnesium deficiency, colour is looking great, growth accelerating rapidly. I did say this would be an even bigger week than last and it is certainly shaping up that way. Fertigated 2l. Day 27: Performed major LST and minor defoliation. Nesia is really growing well. She fills the big pot already. I severaly pruned the companion plants to make room for Nesia. I also reorganised the tents and configuration again while installing upgrades. New reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Airflow and light both increased and optimised. See video. Day 28: Nesia has responded quite strongly to the LST and defoliation yesterday. Nesia has not been watered for 48h. I am doing a short "dry spell" for all the plants. End of week summary: Well what a great week for Nesia. She hid a lot of her growth under massive leaves until the LST on day 27. I was pretty hard with her, and I aslo defoliated. She saved us a big surprise for the end of the week. Can you believe the response 24h later? That is quite shockingly good adaptation. I am certain that the reason she responds so strongly, is because by now, the end of week 4, she is well used to this regular process. Every time I have done LST and/or defoliation she has responded quicker and more vigorously. Nesia is going to far, far exceed Karen in size if she keeps up at this rate. Overall I couldn't be much more pleased with Nesia. She is an absolute star and I am already thinking a possible future diary of the month winner. I have been extremely impressed with Fast Buds genetics so far.

Fastbuds seeds LSD-25 auto #2 Only using spring water for first week and spraying with foop mist every night. Going to be using foop nutrients with Humboldts secret cal/mag and nectar for the gods ph up and down. Here we go!

day 11 of flower

Day 47: LSD 25 is really starting to smell amazing! Notes of pine, citrus and sweet berry.

I harvested part of it! I had a problem with this plant until 3 weeks of flowering It messed up the whole plant. 😣😒

10/31: I fed today with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, and silica. This strain smells really good..kinda exotic, but it's much leafier than anything else in the garden. They could probably have used less N throughout their lives.. 11/4: Fed with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, silica, and humic acid. They are fattening up well now and starting to show me some trichomes. Very peculiar aroma....can't quite place it...

Hey there again! Just a couple of videos of the week, the treatment has been going for over a week now and it's almost over.
