July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat. Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant). Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I鈥檓 starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible. Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it鈥檚 like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works. July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days. July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average. July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 馃憤馃憤

Hello! For this setup i麓ll use Optic 1 XL in a 80cmx80cm tent, (indoor grow), with temperature, humidity and air flow controled... Have heard great things about Real Cookies and now it麓s time to grow it! Have successfully germinated 2 seeds out of 2 using the easy start kit from RQS, 100 % rate! (made a DIY box and used the wireless router to keep it warm) Notice this seeds have sprouted in less than 48h it麓s a personal record to me! I麓m using Janeco light mix and prepared the soil with the the easy boost organic nutrition before reporting the seedlings... It麓s time to turn on the lights and let the mother nature do the magic!

420Fastbuds FBT2310/Week2 Weekly update for these 2. I started seeing some rust spots so I decided to add a little General Hydroponics Calimagic at 0.25tsp/gal to my feed. So far seems to stop. I also decided to start a very light dose of nutes General Hydroponics 3 part flora series at the same 0.25tsp/gal to every other feed to see how they'll respond. All in all Happy Growing.

The girls look to be finishing the vegetative growth phase this week and are starting to switch full steam ahead into flower production 鈽猴笍鈽猴笍 Trichomes are also starting to form now and the smell is getting slightly stronger each day. Not much to be done this week just some defoliation and training to help open up the canopy鈥檚. Peace 鉁岋笍

7/16 some plants are showing yellowing in the leaves and one the plants has branches drooping. theyre flimsy as is. same plant is showing airy buds, almost no bud structure. maybe will pack on weight a little bit? probably not 7/18 could be a nitrogen issue. considering theyre autos, i shouldve dialed it back before flower 7/22 plants are still throwing out pistils

Que pasa familia, vamos con la sexta y 煤ltima semana de crecimiento de estas Papaya sherbet feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al l铆o, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de m谩s por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. Tambi茅n se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros, que el mismo trasplante provoc贸 un shock, que tambi茅n fue solucionado inmediatamente. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Hasta aqu铆 todo, Buenos humos 馃挩馃挩馃挩

Hi all, Another amazing week passed by and RUNTZ from Zamnesia is starting to look like a real winner. So cool how well she is expanding and how well she takes LST. You can see we going to have a big bush when finished with hopefully a lot off very big coals. If no any serious problems get in our way hopefully I am looking to have her in flower by end off this month. Happy Growing

Happy Chrimbus. TW is looking better this week, lots of growth in the nodes, the stalk looks THICK. BUT she also is a weird plant because I know nothing about it. Was found in my bud from the test plant. Just switched over to my large tent so the two can be alone to grow. I topped her a few days ago and looks to recovering well. :) 2019.12.29 well well well this beautiful bitch is pre flowering and showing ITS A GIRL! im so so so happy. YAY I plant to keep her in veg maybe 2/3 more weeks- she isnt very tall.

10/2: My soil mix was too hot and I accidentally killed 11 of the 12 Fastbuds seedlings I had going. So, I started about 20 Candy Cane hybrids in rapid rooters wetted with myco, tricho, and beneficial bacteria. All but one popped up. One of them did a cobra-basket and petered out. The beans all came from tray trash that accumulated while I was smoking three diff strains, so I probably won't know what they are until they are flowering. 10/4: Looks like I'll have enough growing that I have to cull the weakest few. I can feasibly (possibly) squeeze 14 into the lower section of the closet under 720w if they act right and if I do some training, and another 4 in the top under 200w if I keep them at 30" or less in height. 10/6: I think I'll veg everybody in the bottom section until I'm out of space, then move the shorter 4 or maybe 5 into the top section as necessary...and move the tiniest ones outdoors to finish. I just don't have the heart to kill anything that's got a potential yield of a half-ounce or more. Some of the most diminutive plants I've grown produced the stankiest buds.. I've currently got the 200w 3500k+660nm running at about 32" in the middle of the closet, and one of the 3 pairs of 120w 3000k+660nm quantum boards running at about 36" and should be sufficient coverage for the next week or so. Then I'll kick on the pair of boards closest to the doorway and spread them out a bit..and then I'll move the 200w light to the top section along with the best 4 short plants. At that point I'll turn on the center 2 qb's and install a 2 foot Solacure Flower Power UV light in the perpendicular center channel of my frame. 10/7: I installed my new AC Infinity 6" fan in the attic and hooked up a 16" carbon filter today. I used some sound deadening foam on the rafter that I mounted it to and removed 100% of the vibration. I haven't programmed the thermo/hygro stuff yet, but tested it on high and I can't hear a thing anywhere in the structure.馃憤 I'm also purchasing a dual 120mm fan system from AC Infinity in the door, behind the grille I already installed to serve as fresh air intake. It also has a thermostat feature that will allow me to set it to only come on when the temps are too high, so I'm optimistic that it will allow me to manage the temperatures in this closet with about 1000w running for 18-20 hours a day.馃檹 I moved the 200w 3500k+660nm to the top section today and lowered my QB frame to 32" above the plants. I have two pairs of them running now, and received the replacement HLG 240-48A driver today for the third pair. I'll hook it up later..dont need it now.. 10/8: I fed most of them today for the first time...about 16 oz of solution containing grow big, big bloom, kelp me kelp you, boomerang, and armor si. I hooked up the 3rd pair of qb's today....wow that's bright....they're gonna love it!馃槑 The last of the sprouts has been planted and is growing. That's a total of 19.... 3 of them still in 1 liter pots and getting plain distilled water. I also foliar fed all of them with a little big bloom and kelp me kelp you. 10/9: I got some Axiom to apply onto them tomorrow. It's got a good amount of Harpin a|b proteins which trigger rapid plant growth and other defensive traits that are proven to be canna-friendly, like enhanced resin production and increased resistance to molds, mildews, and fungi. I foliar fed them today with big bloom kelp me kelp you, and the day following the Axiom application I plan to foliar feed them with Biotabs BoomBoom Spray to negate any initial ill-effects caused by the Axiom. I'll probably just mist them with distilled water for a day or two following that regimen to ensure that it's all rinsed off. But, following that break in the foliar feeding routine, I've got some Fulvic/Humic acid to rain gently over them for a couple of days. 10/11: End of week 1, and I'm happy with their progress thus far.馃榾 They had no trouble with the "Harpin protein attack" I engaged them with yesterday... at all, and even look quite a bit bigger than I expected. They also had their first "night time* last night...4 blissful hours in 74f temps with 48%RH.馃挙

D铆a 08. Arranca la segunda semana. Las plantas pegaron un estir贸n grande. En una semana crecieron 20 cm. Un poco de espigado hay, pero nada preocupante. Las dos que fallaron van a quedar ah铆. Por el momento la soluci贸n mantiene la misma formulaci贸n. Espero lograr obtener un poco m谩s de crecimiento. D铆a 13. Fue una semana movida as铆 que no pude actualizar m谩s. Ya estan en una altura interesante. Estuve cortando las flores chicas en las ramas bajas. A煤n espero que sigan estirando un poco, dado que la variedad es sativa. Espero tener m谩s referencias pronto, porque por ahora no imagino ni de casualidad lo que puede llegar a ser.

Alrighty, the fun part鈥檚 over鈥攏ow it鈥檚 time to dial things in. The plants seem to have used up the nutrients in the soil and now require a different feeding approach for the flowering stage. But hey, you鈥檝e got to grow to know, and the fix is simple. From now on, I鈥檓 fertilizing once a week with BioBizz organic nutrients, following the provided feeding schedule. I鈥檓 sticking to the basic components only. I鈥檝e also added some calcium and magnesium, as the lower fan leaves are showing signs of deficiency. Since the plants have become quite bushy, I pruned the lower third over a few sessions鈥攕preading out the stress and avoiding cutting too much at once. Lastly, I鈥檝e set the oscillating fan to medium intensity to prevent stagnant air. The duct fan is now tuned to maintain a VPD between 0.7 and 0.8 kPa.
