Week five in flower and not much change. The buds are starting to bulk up and get fat. I have noticed a color shift in the bud as well. They are developing a pink/purple hue with a gray undertone. It’s an unusual color because it’s very pastel looking. Frost production is still on high, these things are coated like crazy already. Magnesium issue has now stopped, I’ve been adding 1/16 teaspoon of magnesium sulfate to the water every time to keep up with the demand for this large plant. Smell is very strong and hits you hard when you open the tent. When rubbing the bud I pick up a fruity pebbles smell. So far watering every other day and she is sucking down about a gallon a day of water. Run off pH was reading 6.5 which has been spot on this entire grow so far.

(TNC MycorMax scheint einen Stickstoffüberschuss zu erzeugen. Hatte im Sommer auch je einen halben Teelöffel unter den Samen gegeben bei drei Pflanzen und alle hatten massive Probleme mit Stickstoffüberschuss. So auch hier die Banana Purple Punch. Bei der Gelato habe ich testweise das Zeug weggelassen und sie krallt die Blätter nicht ein.) Zum Größenvergleich Bilder mit einem Feuerzeug. Beide FastBuds Pflanzen bisher sind ziemlich enttäuschend. Triebe, höchstens (!) zweimal so lang wie mein Daumennagel und schon steif mit ersten Anzeichen der Vorblüte. Vergleicht das einfach mal mit der Sunshine LSD Auto, die ich im Sommer in 20l angebaut und so ziemlich alles falsch gemacht habe. Das Teil war ein Monstrum. Selbst jemand, der seit vielen Jahren mit Photoperiodischen zu tun hat und mir von Autoflowers abriet, war sehr sehr positiv überrascht, was das Teil unter widrigsten Umständen geliefert hat. Die Buds waren so schwer, dass ich alles abstützen musste, damit nicht alles umkippt. Alleine die Hauptcola über 30cm. Wirkung hat auch gepasst. Unglaubliches Teil. Und was haben wir hier hier? Was wird das? Ein Zwergenwunderland? Ich bin ziemlich enttäuscht aber vielleicht geschieht ja noch ein Wunder. Verstehe jetzt, warum von Autoflowers Indoor wegen Stromkosten/-verschwendung abgeraten wird. Das hier wäre was für meinen Balkonkasten im Sommer aber nicht für nen 14l Topf unter 240 Watt. Hatte nach der billigen aber bombastischen Sunshine LSD Auto von 66seeds echt mehr erwartet von Breedern, die sich speziell auf Autoflowers spezialisiert haben. Wenn der Ertrag so winzig ausfällt, wie das, was ich hier in den Kübeln habe, war es das mit FastBuds. Habe noch eine Blackberry Auto und einen Mix Pack mit fünf Samen da. Aber alleine dafür sind es mir die teuren Strompreise nicht wert. Ein Miniaturwunderland kann ich auch woanders bestaunen gehen. Falls jemand einen Tipp hat, wo man ähnliche Autostrains wie die Sunshine LSD findet, bitte her damit ;) Die ist gut aber immer nur Skunk Geschmack wird auf Dauer langweilig. Noch eine Geschäftsidee für FastBuds: Verkauft doch mal Mikrowerkzeuge für's LST. Einen 2,5mm Draht kann ich da nicht dran machen.

day 67 - This week the buds keep getting fat and the most notable change is the color. The buds are madurating and getting more intense red and nice dose of resine.

Day 57 from seed. 8 full weeks in. 1st day if week 9. Stretch is calming down I can tell because of how many bud sites are forming. Every arm above the net should have full thick colas. I'll trim and lollipop after this last week of stretch. The last watering was ph water. And the best 3 days will be as well, then I'll swap to beasty blooms.

Welcome to the Week 9 update for the Sweet Seeds Cream Mandarine XL Auto’s. This was an eventful week of the grow as I finally gave up on the first two plants suffering with the majority of the powdery mildew. Instead of wiping a single spot off of a leaf it had progressed to wiping multiple spots off of the majority of leaves. It was becoming super time consuming just trying to keep up with not further contaminating the tent. So after fighting the good fight but realizing it was now a losing battle- I decided to harvest the two smallest plants. They were pulled from the tent right at the end of Week 9 and placed in my garage for 3-5 days before they were actually chopped and trimmed in Week 10. My garage is not heated and the temperatures have been around 0-5 degrees celsius so both plants had some time to “chill out" before harvest. Not only did they reek stronger than ever but also seemed to produce additional resin after being exposed to the cold for a few days. I chose not to weigh the wet trimmed bud as it hasn’t amounted to much but after drying for 7-10 days it’s working out to be approximately 1 mason jar of nuggets per plant. I will provide final weights and better pictures of the bud in my final harvest update. Nothing much has changed for the remaining two plants except for drinking a little less water and the humidity has slowly been decreasing as Canada moves into winter. Until next time- stay safe, happy and high! 🇨🇦

I put the plants into an NFT system couple weeks ago. I could have waited a bit longer for the plants to develop a stronger root system before placing the rockwool cubes into NFT but I was being impatient because of the slow start and wanted to get the plants under proper light. Now two weeks later they are growing well with good root development. I switched the lights to flowering cycle about a week ago so they should start stretching soon. No preflowers yet.

We've made it to Week 4 of flower going strong 💪 Plants are no longer stretching, now focusing on bud production. Bulking up bigger & bigger everyday. Plants are about 72 days old from seed from today's date 06/05/18 I've labeled the plants in picture #1 The smell is very strong, I had to leave fan with carbon filter running 24/7 to keep smell down. Iv'e also bin adding 1/2 teaspoon Wholesome Sweeteners, Inc., Organic Unsulphured Molasses since week 4 veg, seems to be helping with THC production, only time will tell. 👍 Thanks again for all the positive comments, likes & follows! Please feel free to share your tips & tricks as i'm still new ( FIRST GROW ) HAPPY GROWING!

Amber trichs are just starting to show up and for my preference that's my Q... Put em in the dark for couple days and flip em upside down ;P really excited... Took a little sample off each one to check for seeds and problems ect. And u know I couldn't go without sparking up... Lemme just say... Every cookies strain except the fried banana tastes amazing right off the bush... (That's not to say fried banana isn't good either just had problems and it hermied and freaking got my orange cake along with it ... Haven't found anything on the big Z or spilt paint but u can't about bet ur bottom it happened to them too... So that didn't thrill me... But for the most part these cookies have been really good to me... Big Z smells like absolute zkittles and u can really smell the runtz too! All followed by a sweet earth smell that just lingers for ever! It's great! All n all pretty stoked! I'll get a total of the 3 plants... Fried banana is going to hash and I'll press it to some oil ...

Le sfighe sempre a fine ciclo, riprendendo l'over fert ieri ho trovato 2 tubicini dell'irrigazione tappati, quindi non circolando l'acqua 2 piante sono seccate un po, adesso ho sistemato e l'acqua continua a circolare ma mi sa che sono ancora in blocco... attendo qualche altro giorno per vedere se ci sarà una ripartenza, altrimenti raccoglierò questo fine settimana o il prossimo.

10.04.25 day 38. Plants are progressing nicely. Decided to defoliate today. As stated previously I mixed up plants so don't know which is name is for what plant. I think plant in back is chemdawg as it has a grow time of 9-10 weeks while other have 8-9 weeks. Both plants in front are more sativa so maybe tropican cookies. The struggling plant had purule stripe in flower so maybe banana purple punch or lemon cherry cookies. Will continue observations and try to figure out name.

Had issues with RH this week have 2 humidifiers now a 1100 and 2200 eva dry and seavon. Seavon is better!!and cheaper!! Jet fuels growing tall buds as to where the plat punch is filling in most likely do to the indica dom on plat punch and all the sativa fuel strains in jet are just amazing it just pushes hard the whole time really great strain to grow. Tried TNB naturals co2 seems to have done something i have plumping wherever i put the bottle doesnt matter if its under the plants remember air gets sucked out the top so its going to pull air from below to the top with co2. Directly under plants no good toooo much moister off in the corner by a vent! 2 led lights going one 600watt using only red and whites the a 1500 full blast all colors veg and bloom. The bloom on the 1500 is only red its a Templay light no red and white but its working getting a little more stretch on that side of the tent. Found good info on using mutes drain to waste.. Alot of salt present (this is against whats commonly mentioned online) around the roots makes the plant compete with the soil or medium and produces shit tons more sugars and essential oils this goes actually for all plants grown hydro or drain to waste. If u feed one time then not the next ur stressing ur roots out hard thus stunting ur growth especially in late bloom. My plan is to feed until 8 to 10 days prior to planned harvest of 63 days in flower from switch. Then FloraKleen every other day with blackstrap
