1st 4 days of this week was away for a long weekend. Despite going a little paranoid worrying about them they were absolutely fine (probably enjoyed the time with me not fussing over them) Even managed not to water them the second I got back but rather waited until they actually lightened up. Which I think they’ll actually be ready to be watered tmw. Really happy with the way they’re all going so far. Interesting observations are, GC2 seems to be a bit of weird one. Looks like a ducksfoot pheno. I have got one or 2 of these from Fastbuds not a huge fan. (That being said it’s entirely possible I mixed up seeds and this is actually the freebie seed. Will find out later I guess). And SP2 is just a little sluggish / droopier / less reactive to light compared to the others. Not overworrying will see what happens. All are pre-flowering just starting to flower. So all good so far, Thanks for reading have a great week 😊

Ende von Woche 4 ist zu sehen, die Mädels wurden geFIMt allerdings mit einer Rasierklinge. Die beiden krumble brauchten dringend Dünger, der verbrauch steigt deutlich an. Habe von 5 auf 7 ml/L erhöhen müssen auch bei den Zake.

Beginning of week.. Wow she is stacking fast! Stretch has slowed.. may have even stopped.. I'm attepmting to water/feed daily instead of skipping a day every 2 days. After waiting 1 whole day without watering and the pot feels super light.. like if I waited too late into the second day that she would start showing stress.. rather keep her from even getting close to stress right now.. but she is fairly happy and doing magical things! I love this stuff! Next day... Just wanted to take a pic lol... she is doing INCREDIBLE things with these pistils, calyxes and trichomes and not showing any signs of slowing down.. amazing genetics for sure!... Almost mid week... I cant stop taking pics of this girl! So beautiful.. gonna be some FAT colas for sure.. she is still stacking.. but stacking very nicely! The smell, which is a bit too early to judge what the end product will be like, but smells very fruity with just a hint of skunk.. I can really smell the skunk when I first open the tent.. but rubbing the trichomes, I can smell alot of delicious fruity scents.. hard to pinpoint just one.. citrusy of course.. but man.. love this plant so far! A few banches I could hve lollipopped a couple nodes higher.. but even the bottom nugs I left are getting nice and fat! About halfway thru flower at this point.. very impressed with these genetics! Still have been able to water/feed daily now.. there may be some days that I may have to skip a day.. which SHOULDN'T be too stressful on her.. maybe more stressful on me if anything lol. Other than the overfeeding, she is loving life and doing magical things.. ive went down on some nutes already.. but as I mix nutes, they end up at 950 PPM.. so I have concluded that I should go ahead and just drop the micro down from 4 ml per gallon down to 3 ml per gallon.. leaving everything else rOuGhLy the same.. hoping it drops from 950 PPM to 850 or 900 PPM.. and thats with using 75% rainwater and 25% Brita filtered tap water.. which automatically brings the TDS of the water at 75 - 80 PPM.. just a little detail on how I water/feed... and also I use water, feed, water, feed, etc... not flushing.. just running 1 gallon of water/nutrients a day. I love growing in coco coir/perlite.. and fabric pots are awesome too!.. love love LOVE this shit!!! Mid week (1 day late.. whoops)... So I fed yesterday, just forgot to get some pics. She smells absolutely delicious at this point.. skunky but also very fruity, sweet.. citrusy.. such amazing genetics. It almost seems as if this pheno will look exactly like the pic ETHOS has for the Member Berry RBx1.. which he says all of his strains are +90% stable with pheno variations, for the most part.. but man.. beautiful plant.. these flowers are stacking hard and fast (that's what she said) but just.. wow.. now that Ive been using my PAR meter and have a better understanding of uMols and th footprint, and not overfeeding (not like I have been at 1000+ PPM.. but she is still showing some nute burn so that tells me that I WAS still overfeeding this girl.. but I believe I have cut back enough because the burnage isn't spreading much, if anymore at all.. I'm happy with the way things are going with this grow.. perfect runoff.. perfect PPFD.. shouldn't be anything short of fucking spectacular! End of week.. Went ahead and skipped watering today. Didnt want to.. had to.. but she should be fine by the AM.. I'll have to use 1 gal + 1 liter to make up for the lack of water in the medium.. other than that.. she is doing great! On to the next week!...

Hmmm, I'm growing her right beside a strain from a famous breeder that's nearly 50 bucks a seed (I've grown 3 of those so far, and all 3 hermied, so even the famous breeders apparently aren't stress-testing!) and a Blue Cheese. The Blue Cheese's buds are half the size of the other two plants. So, all in all, this is a raging success. My strain is beating the other two by miles. Hopefully it smokes well...

EXPERIMENT: Still waiting on the teapot to boil the water properly, but the photos and video of the "still" attached to this diary shows proof of concept. The sludge coming out is from the copper tubing manufacturing process, it'll eventually stop. I need to get the real setup built and run a couple gallons through the tube. Plant B is coming along nicely! I have a feeling it's going to finish around week 6 rather than the full 8 week period advertised. So I've started the flushing process. I can always add nutrients if necessary. Flushed twice this week with 2.5 gal of pH-adjusted distilled water. Plant A doesn't seem to like the bud blaster. I think it'll finish around the 8 weeks advertised. I flushed all week same as plant B, though I will probably add more nutrients to A next week. It just seemed to be getting some nutrient burn so I wanted to back off.

7.9.24 I had to some major jungle patrol! Everything is going crazy! I was adjusting the plants around to maximise light exposure. One branch bent. FBP1, the branches are getting heavier. I had to add my last 2 stakes. I used duct tape and some imagination, tying with string, for the rest of it, too. I'm not going to be able to move them again, so tick, toc ladies! I added 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2, containing the following nutrients:- ♡1ml per litre of Ecothrive Flourish ♡2ml per litre of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. ♡2ml per litre of cal-mag. After watering each pot with 3 litres in each, with the above nutrients. FBP3. She has again spilled out, run off. I might have mixed my soil, and used less perlight or coco. I've overwatered that plant twice now, fairly recently I'll only give her 2 litres in future. Continuing to give the others 3 litres. I've continued to defoliate. The leaf in the photo was the only one and it was like halfway up the plant. Not sure what it was, so if you know, tell me in a comment please! 8.9.24 Have not needed to adjust any ties. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.2. With the following nutrients. ♡1ml of Ecothrive Flourish ♡2ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡2ml of cal-mag I don't want to overwater, I also need to not let the soil dry enough to kill the microbes. I'll keep an eye on it, and adjust it as necessary. 8.9.24 I had to adjust ties and support for several branches. The fruits are getting heavier. I really hope they get done before anything breaks under the weight. I keep checking the trichomes daily through the jewellers loupe, each plant, and different bud sites. 9.9.24 Dijons birthday 💔 Ok, today another branch on FBP1, Branch wasn't snapped open, just fell under the weight. I tied it back up. I have some potash, which arrived today. I was going to top dress, however I've decided to cut all nutes now. I'm just watering with dechlorinated water PH'd to 5.8-6.0. "Final flush". I will continue this for next watering or so, then switch to straight RO water. Also I'm slowly lowering the temperature of the water, to about 70°F. When I see any amber, I will throw into the dark period for 48h. 10.9.24 After having my last question answered, I have decided to go ahead and call it a day on this grow. The plants had a final watering last night, with regular dechlorinated tap water PH'd to 6.0. This evening I have put all equipment inside the tent, like the dehumidifier, tower fan. I have split the stems, I mean why not? 😅 I will leave in the dark period for 48h then chop the whole grow, to dry together in the tent. FBP2 I am satisfied with the readiness. FBP1 and FBP3, are mostly glassy still but they need to come down too. I need to get it done and dried, if it's not the best smoke, it's my fault for being incompetent due to inexperience. I just don't want to risk messing up my FBP2, due to waiting on the others. So it is what it is I guess. We'll have to wait and see. This was quite possibly the worst time imaginable to do this run. I've had so much personal tragedy and upheaval, (of course we never know when these things will strike); combined with the unexpected conditions, including temperature and humidity throughout the grow. This being my FIRST grow of any plant at all, and these being autoflowers was particularly stressful. Fingers crossed that it works out in the end. All I'm concerned about now is drying in the closed conditions of the tent environment, and avoiding mould issues. The finish line is in sight. I'm so glad, now I can get back to my life. Will update, when I harvest! 🙂

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

6. Woche Das letzte Topping ist ein paar Tage her, denke diese Woche macht sie noch Veg und wechselt in ner Woche in den Stretch. Gab gerade nochmal bisschen Dünger. Ich habe den Green Sensation von Plagron erstmal wieder rausgenommen, da der ja speziell für die Bloom ist und ich nicht will, dass der jetzt irgendwas im Wachstum blockiert 😊

I’ll update more info after a nice cure! Update: So in conclusion. Super easy Grow. She didn’t give me any problems. Only problems were the heater torching some buds. I put her in a 7 gallon smart pot just to see what an Autoflower would do. Well she paid off and then some! Ended up with 144 grams of some primo FastBuds!00

This is by far the largest indoor plant I have ever had!! I'm super excited. And because I am so convinced of Hydro, I bought an RDWC system. This will be used in the next grow The PH always rises to 6.2, I bring it down to 5.8 every 48 hours Otherwise it really just keeps growing. It takes significantly longer than Dutch Passion stated. It also doesn't get 20H light but "only" 12H. I think these are the last days of the flowering phase. I slowly shut down the EC. It will also sometimes be below 16 degrees. I am very excited to harvest this plant!

My house is full of sweet chocolate and fruit aroma:) her flowers are full of shiny trichomes :) the girl only bloomed for 57 days, but she is already ready, maybe her flowering sped up in my grow box, high temperature 33°, because of that under my arm my light was set to 85%. From the first days, the girl showed fast and healthy growth:) I made a timelapse video, but unfortunately due to problems with the SD memory card, it takes 3-4 days at the end of the video, besides, my tent is too small for that :D I also made bubble hash from sugar leaves myself :) I tried Zamnesia seeds for the first time - I hope that someday this seed bank will offer me its products to try again :) thank you all. you were together :) good luck with the growing.
