Week 7 has started and I'd say, overall she's looking good and healthy. day 45: It's time to give her some water and new "food". I took the opportunity to remove a few of the lower and inner leaves and arrange them a little more openly with some garden wire and string. Regarding those lighter leafs in the top center (pictures under the LED make it really look worse) and the reddish/violet stems i won't do anything for now but observing. day 46: just visual checks and refreshing humidation. day 47: The soil was already dry again, i guess because of those high temperatures during the last days (up to 38°C inside the box). As she seemed to be doing quite well, I decided to carry out a slightly larger defoliation. Some might even call it “soft lollipopping”. But as a beginner, I want to try the experiment and I'm more afraid of mold than a slightly lower yield. So I removed about 1/3 of the leaves and small shoots in the lower area and also took out some fan leaves and leaves that were growing inwards or covering other shoots. I then used some string to give her a new shape to bring the individual shoots back to a more uniform height. day 48: just visual checks and refreshing humidation. I guess she isn't too sad about her new haircut. Additionally playing around with the smartphone microscope I recently bought. day 49: The first pistils are beginning to change color. No water needed today, but i guess for a fresh watering tomorrow. Removed some leafes that wouldn't get much light The weather should cool down again today and in the next few days, so I'm hoping for lower temperatures inside the grow box. Today I will leave the box open for a while and try to cool down the room in which it is standing. day 50: My guess was right, it's watering day. Felt like she needed a little more nutrients so i slightly adapted my plan.

This will be the last week in veg! You can already see some coots forming and their height is upwards of 18 inches. I will switch their light schedule on Sunday and start the bloom. Can’t wait!!

Week 6: Flower - Purple Power & Organic Excellence 💜🌸 Currently vibing to: Larry June - Organic (keeping it smooth) 🎵 Week 6 flower is where things start getting REAL. The buds are swelling, the trichomes are stacking, and one of the ladies is putting on a color show that's absolutely stunning! All Three Ladies - Thriving on Organic Fire The feeding regimen is dialed in, and these girls are responding beautifully. Consistent nutrition is paying off with healthy, vigorous flower development across the board. Current Feeding Schedule: Roots Organic Terp Tea Bloom (consistent feedings) Growganica Incredible Bulk (for density and weight) This organic combo is doing EXACTLY what it's supposed to: Supporting robust bud development Enhancing terpene production Building density without harsh synthetic salts Feeding the soil biology that feeds the plants The slow-release nature of organic amendments means the plants are getting steady, consistent nutrition—no spikes, no crashes, just smooth sailing. Lemon Cherry (Right) - The Purple Princess! 💜 SHE'S TURNING PURPLE! And not just a little bit—she's really expressing those anthocyanin colors. This is exactly what we want to see! Why the purple? Genetic expression (she had it in her the whole time) Temperature fluctuations between day/night can enhance purple coloration Stress-free environment allowing her genetics to shine Proper nutrition supporting color development Bag Appeal Status: Already looking FIRE. The contrast between purple buds, green leaves, and frosty white trichomes is going to be absolutely stunning come harvest. This is the kind of bud that makes people stop scrolling on Instagram. 📸 The visual quality on this one is going to be exceptional—she's going to photograph like a dream and look premium in the jar. Apple Fritter & Lemon Cherry (Left) - Green Giants While they might not be showing the purple genetics, these two are producing beautiful, classic green flowers with excellent structure and trichome coverage. Current Status: Dense bud formation Healthy green coloration Responding well to the organic feeding program Trichome production ramping up Not every plant needs to be purple to be premium. These girls are going to deliver quality, potency, and terps regardless of color. The Growganica Incredible Bulk Advantage Adding this to the feeding rotation was a smart move. Week 6 is when bulking really kicks into high gear, and the kelp-based nutrients are supporting: Increased bud density and weight Enhanced resin production Micronutrient availability for optimal flower development Natural plant hormones that promote swelling Combined with the Terp Tea Bloom, we're giving these plants everything they need to maximize their genetic potential. Key Observations Color expression is REAL: Lemon Cherry Right is proving that when you give plants the right environment and nutrition, their genetics can fully express. Purple isn't just pretty—it's a sign she's healthy, happy, and doing her thing. Organic feeding consistency matters: No deficiencies, no toxicities, just steady growth. The microbes in the soil are doing their job, breaking down amendments and delivering nutrients on demand. Week 6 is the sweet spot: This is where flower production really accelerates. Each day brings noticeable changes in bud size and density. Bag appeal is already locked in: Even before harvest, you can tell Lemon Cherry Right is going to be a stunner. Sometimes you just know you've got something special growing. Next Week's Plan Continue current feeding schedule - it's working, don't mess with success Monitor purple progression on Lemon Cherry Right (might get even more vibrant!) Support branches if needed - as buds get heavier, stakes/yo-yos might be necessary Watch trichome development - week 7+ is when they really start stacking Maintain optimal environment - keep temps, humidity, and airflow dialed in Take progress photos - especially of that purple beauty for the 'gram 📸 Larry June voice: "Purple flowers, organic power, smooth cultivation every hour..." 🎶 Week 6 flower: Where genetics meet execution, and the results speak for themselves. Let's keep this organic train rolling! 🔥🌿💜 When she starts turning purple in week 6, you know you're doing something right. Bag appeal: SECURED.

Hey hey my fellow growers, I hope everyone had an excellent week! It is great to be back here at the beginning of week six, let’s get into it! Last week I had misspoke- I said I was going to train 5 of the 6 plants I have going from fastbuds, this was false…. What I meant is all 6… Yes at the time I had only INTENDED on messing with 5 but the last one, the way it was structured with the self top, it was practically BEGGING me to get in there and play with it- and I ask you this- who would I be to deny that little strawberry pie the simple pleasure of a little training? So train I did… Nothing crazy, but actually for all six plants (despite my best efforts, best being debatable) to not go overboard- I have been going in a doing a little bit of training and taking a leaf off here and there if it’s blocking any potential bud sites. I am trying to be really careful and not do too much at once and upset any of them- but at the same time, after stunting them a bit with the taproot incident (which I will keep referring to until I learn from that mistake) I want to do what I can to maximize yield after tripping up a bit in the beginning. We will see how it goes, but for now, everything seems to be doing well and responding well to the bit of training I have been doing. Right now I am seeing a range of sizes among the bunch- the forbidden runtz are both shorter and squatier coming in at about 5.5 inches in height each and I notice everything is spaced a bit tighter on these so I have had some difficulty spreading them out but not to any problematic extent, just in comparison with the rest- Next we have the strawberry pie- the smaller one coming in at 5.5inches, is the one that I was speaking about that had topped itself. It seems to be doing well and handling the training just fine. However the other one, that one is much bigger and is about 8.5 inches tall. It wasn’t until I busted out the ruler that I saw that this was the second biggest plant of the fast buds. That leaves the largest which of course was the gorilla cookies! The smaller of the two is coming in at 8 inches and the larger one coming in at 9.5! They are both tied down and doing great, showing growth each day after being trained and having select leaves removed. We are getting closer and closer to flower I hope to have a bit more time with them but that is totally in their hands, so we will see what happens- the game plan now for me at this point is to keep doing what I’ve been doing- trying to balance on a delicate line. As far as other news… I am doing dishes the other day- I have my phone propped up with YouTube on and dude grows playing (my preferred way to do dishes) I hear the dude mention a giveaway they are doing that I had submitted an entry for recently so my ears had perked up…👀 I saw they had the contest page pulled up and on display and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be cool if I got to see my picture right now, sure enough- I hear them start talking about my pictures! I in no way won (at this point, my fingers are crossed though haha) and I realize that this is debatably anticlimactic however, I listen to these guys everyday at work so I was stoked! I still am! There are lots of good giveaways going on right now, all the amazing contests going on on this site, Instagram wherever! You have to be in it to win it folks and often it doesn’t take much to enter- I wish you all luck if you participate in any holiday contests and I hope you all have a fantastic holiday week and I will catch you all here at the same time in the same place hopefully with some new goodies and we can continue this fastbuds journey! Growers love and happy holidays everybody!!! 💚🤙🌱

(I’m starting to try timelapsed videos of growth so lmk what you think) So I’ve added a little lst to #1(the one I topped) just to capitalize on it I guess. But they’re all doing really well at the end of week 4. I’m trying to get better with photos and documenting so bare with me but as for #3, I’m really impressed with how fast she’s gotten bushy and with how she’s taken to lst. I’m doing different things to different plants to see what I like and what works for me. #4 is my control and I’ve done nothing but water and feed and honestly, she’s still doing just fine 💪🏻

I SOAKED THE SEEDS IN A CUP OF WATER, WITH A DASH OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, FOR 24 HRS. I THEN DUMPED THEM ON A PLATE BETWEEN PAPERTOWLS, AND ANOTHER PLATE(NOT TOO SOAKED-MAKE ROOM FOR AIR) UNDERNEATH I PLACED A HEATING PAD UNDER THE PLATE, FOR 24 HRS, TIIL THEY POP AND ROOT TAIL IS QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH FROM THERE I PLACED THEM IN PRE-SOAKED JIFFY PELLETS, AND PLACED THEM IN A GERMINATION KIT/WITH LID DOME. I DEFINETLY MESSED UP BY KEEPING THEM TOO MOIST. AND HAD TO TREAT THEM WITH A HYDROGEN PEROXIDE(3%)DELUTED WITH WATER, UNDER AND TOPPED. THEY ARE 10 DAYS NOW, I BEEN TRYNA HARDEN THEM OFF, PLAN ON TRASNFERING THEM TO THE SYSTEM. WISH ME LUCK

You can tell she is stacking up. I’m hoping she pulls through the heavy rainfall and high humidity as she nears ripening and harvest stage.

Diary Day 36 Plant was watered with nutrients in these concentrations: -    FloraSeries Gro-->1.2 mL/L -    FloraSeries Micro-->1.2 mL/L -    Flore Series Bloom-->1.2 mL/L PPM ~set to 600 Day 37 Some calmag issues could be seen on lower leaves. Plant was watered with the same nutrient solution as day 36. Fifth node is already growing so I will be topping soon. Day 38 Plant was watered with the same nutrient solition as previous days. PPM measure was around 540. Day 40 Plant was watered with the same nutrient solution as previous days. PPM measure was 720 so i had to dilute it to 550. Day 41 Plant was secured to a stick because of strong winds. I let the soil dry a little bit too much this day but nothing sirious. Plant was fed with the same nutrient solution as previous days these week. Plant is happy but the lower leaves are still browning a little bit. Weather report: Day 36 Weather is still moody so plant was left insidr Day 37-38 Weather is sunny, plant was moved outside. Day temperatures were 24 °C during day and 18 °C during night Day 39-42 These days were a lot better than usual. It was sunny, day temperatures were around 30 °C. That's all for this week.

The number of points on a cannabis leaf is primarily influenced by genetics, the plant's maturity, and environmental factors. Grape Guava is an Indica Hybrid. Hmmmm Genetics: The plant's genetics are the most important factor in determining the potential number of leaflets. Sativa-dominant strains are more likely to develop leaves with a high number of leaflets, sometimes producing 13 or more. In contrast, indica strains typically have fewer, broader leaflets, usually between 5 and 9. Maturity: A cannabis plant's leaves gain more leaflets as it matures. Seedling stage: The first true leaves after the initial cotyledons emerge with a single leaflet, followed by sets with 3, then 5. Vegetative growth: Healthy, mature plants will consistently produce leaves with 7 to 9 leaflets, though 11 or 13 is possible. Fast growth: A mature plant growing quickly in ideal conditions with plenty of light and proper nutrients is more likely to show a higher number of leaflets. Environmental conditions: Optimal growing conditions can push a plant to express its genetic potential for more leaflets. High light: A fast-growing plant with ample light is more likely to develop leaves with 9, 11, or 13 leaflets. Stress: Environmental stresses, such as unusual lighting schedules, can sometimes cause mature plants to produce leaves with fewer leaflets than normal. Blue light causes stomata, the pores on plant leaves, to open by activating a signaling pathway within the guard cells. This process involves phototropin photoreceptors, which initiate plasma membrane H+-ATPase activation, pumping protons out of the cells. This creates an electrical potential that drives potassium (K+) uptake, causing guard cells to swell and the stomatal pore to open, allowing gas exchange. Foliars applied in strong blue 430nm with 4000hz tone. 20min dose prior to application. In essence, you're seeing a combination of the infrared light reflected by the plant, which the camera perceives as red, and any residual visible blue light the plant reflects, which results in a purple hue.
