Hi guys! long time no see. its been a long journey this pass year thinking about popping some beans. Well the day has come, i couldn't take it any longer. If you've followed my previous diary, i was waiting for this house I'm living at to sell but its been slow since march and i really feel like its going to be on market for a while with going price. Im taking a gamble here and if it does happen to sell i got 60 day or so to move out and i think worse comes to worse i got a friend who can transport them safely and care for them while i move. Lets get this going !! Femenized M39 Granddady ( m39xGranddaddy purple ) I'm very eager to see these girls grow big ! They are currently substrate germinating. I bought 5 from Q.C.S and they threw in 4 Quebec White Feminized seeds which i donated to a friend who hasn't planted them yet. Very satisfied with the packaging Q.C.S provided and the bonus. Eager to see you guys follow these girls through their life ! Thanks for popping by. Edit: I was using a no name peat I had laying around that had dried out, I picked up an organic micro active pro mix peat today and fished out the seeds. They had successfully germinated and I picked them up with tweezer ever so gently and placed into new smaller cups. I think some may frown and say I should have left them but the tap roots were only like 1cm just coming out. In my opinion no different than grabbing em off a wet paper towel. I just wanted them to have best success at growing strong with healthier medium. I have faith i did the right move for better seedlings. 8) see you guys when we have life appearing outside the cup :D we also plan on doing this whole grow Organic. Will be my first time all Organic Day 4, Seedlings are emerged and strong. Light is set to 21 inches from the seedlings. Ive mixed the live soil two weeks early and will continue to stir daily. I fed the live soil ( pro mix organic ) Gaia Green 4-4-4, Epsom salt at 1 teaspoon per litre. and black earth.(documented in a book ) with home made fruit and egg shell compost. eyed up a 1:3 ratio of perlite. 1:3 Worm casting. I gave the soil a treatment of Monkey Juice microbes. Should be some very healthy soil when it comes time to use it. PPE arrived aswell, not taking chances with contamination this time as it made my last grow very challenging. Added a clip of grow room im using. Fresh air induction and exhaust running to outside the house with a carbon filter installed.

Welcome to week 18 of my grow diary. As expected, growth has stopped. In the middle of the week I removed underdeveloped shoots that were covered by leaves. I also removed the lower fan leaves to ensure better aeration and additional leaves that were on the inside. The buds are slowly becoming denser and denser. See you next week ✌️

Last week of nutrients. I will flush them next week with advanced nutrients flawless finish. There are some big differences in finish time between the plants ,but we will see . Unfortunately i don't have the luxery of having a separate drying tent. So i have to find the sweet spot between the plants.

420 Fastbuds Amnesia Haze Auto Week 4 This week has been exciting for sure. Since the mild defoliation I did a week ago, they bounced back like I never took any leaves off to begin with. I still have only watered 2 liters of straight well water daily and they seem to be absolutely fine. All in all Happy Growing Everyone.

This was their last week! Harvested on Day 60. Smells are incredible, tricomes are carpeted and have a good mix of amber and cloudy. Love the wireless microscope I got of Amazon ❤️ i gave the girls their last watering on day 55 , and I watered till I had about 15% runoff. I like to whole plant hang dry my plants in my tent, hopefully, aiming for about 60 degrees and 60% humidity for about 10-14 days. Typically the more there is, the longer it takes. i cant wait! 🤤

1/16 - got the first topping done for the mainline. Cleaned up the rest of the shoots below. Excited to do a proper mainline for the first time!! Going for 8 tops 1/21 - pretty sure I overfed her! She will be getting phed water next feeding. She's coming along though! I may not cut her for another week to let her fully recover and start thriving again 1/23 - not topping her just yet, she is still developing that 3rd node on the 2 mains so I will shop her in a few days and clean up some of the lower stuff. Knuckles looking thick!

This was an experiment grow. Seeing if I can grow and flower in a 1 gallon pot with organic amendments. These buds actually turned out better than when I grew this same cut early this year with a bigger pot. Chopped at day 55 of flower on 10/21/25

Last auto i'll grow , autos are actualy good for fast and not so heavy stoners , my yield is good but not the way i want it , so i'll keep improving my shit , starting with femenised seeds next run also a blueberry , first femenised im going to use , so lets hope it will have a better harvest. Overall this autoflower blueberry yielded the most of all my autoflowers , dense buds , good quality and very fruity smoke!

Dear Francos' Lemon Cheese, as usual it was difficult to let you go, every time I touched you when you were in the grow you made me crazy just thinking about tasting you. But in fact I have to taste you and almost a we have to proceed with the harvest. Stunning plant has swollen quickly and matured in just under 8 weeks declared, it releases a truly spectacular Greek handmaid's pussy scent of Zeus. We know it doesn't have the highest THC and we can't wait to try it in action in the morning when we work in our creative works it must be fantastic. The amount of resin is moving I was about to call friends to take my fingers off. I seem to see Franco behind the counter of the main coffee house in Greenhouse in Amsterdam, who immediately realizes my nationality, smiles at me and responds in kind, telling me choose this <3 Franco Loja Rest in Peace <3 p.s. The first time I cried while writing a diary. LIGHT >> MARSHYDRO SP3000 AT 100% OF POWER ..

Tag 22: Beide Pflanzen sind schon in die Blüte gegangen. Tag 23: Zeit zum umtopfen! Von 3L auf 6L Topfgröße. Eigentlich wird ja von umtopfen von Automatics abgeraten. Aber ich habe bei meiner letzten Automatic damit erstaunlich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Das wollte ich nun nochmal testen mit anderen Sorten. Tag 25: getoppt bei 4 Nodien. Tag 27: Ich biege die Zweige täglich

Royal moby is doing amazing, heat wave is hitting but she is not impressed, it's kind of hard to keep the soil moisture right with 33c in the tent but we are going on !

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 As you can see these ladies are growing nicely. They're both at the same height 59cm but one is wider than the other. Quite nice so far. That's 12cm in one week same as the Royal Gorilla. Evenly spread canopy, the one that had better shape from the start now has longer colas. Both are stacking nodes nice and tight. They have a nice green color to them but you can't really appreciate that in the pictures. I'm still trying to get a hand of this new phone, I might just go back to the camera. 🤔 Starting to get a little shine to them, I think this strain will be the first in forming trichomes. They give off a nice smell but I can't put my finger on it yet. Feeding 1,5L each, every other day. Will be increasing as they ask for more. How do they ask for more? When feeding if the soil is drier than normal I give a 150-200ml increment of water. I do that until they stop feeding so much then i just maintain that amount. I start reducing if it takes longer to dry. That works good for me. The old finger in the dirt trick. 👍 Nothing like knowing exactly what your ladies need first hand. **Info and pictures were taken at day 12 of flower.** Hope you enjoyed this week's update. Stay tuned for next week. 😃 If you like this check out the other diaries of the strains in the tent. 😄 Take care and stay safe! One love!✌️🏽

I tried three types of training intensities. Pheno 1 I topped all cola sites twice for more tops. Pheno 2 I topped each site once. Pheno 3 I topped the main cola once and tied down the whole plant. Pheno 1 will have the the biggest harvest. Pheno 2 will have the most trichomes and turning purple. Pheno 3 has the largest orange colas. Going to push the trichomes this time.

I had to take a big decision. I know it is not good it is way too hot in the tent but needed to remove from my garden because of some reasons. Firstly, illegal which is fine but I do not want to take a risk for 3 g of harvest. She should start flowering in autumn when less sun and weather is basically shitty here in London it is okay to grow but when starts flowering.... so I planted an auto and saw that it wont yiled good so I was thinking what will happend to my Zkittlez in autumn when mush less sun and weather is going down. So realised I can have a 2-3 m plant but it ain't gonna flower just a bit. Soni decided to put under artificial light but it is summer my plants are suffering in the tent. Inhave no choice I will try to manage maximum I will cut back. Hopefully all goes ok. Day 86: Fucked up she was totally wilt I removed all the leaves basically the stalk left only..... she will be okay

🗓️ Week 6 complete – 2nd week of flowering The second week of bloom is in the books – so far, nothing unusual or problematic. Seriotica continues to grow healthy and evenly alongside the others 🌸 I’m currently feeding at least 50% of the AN schedule, but since they’re clearly taking it well, I’ll increase to 75% next watering. 💧 Watering setup: 6L per plant every 3 days Input EC: 1.3 Drain EC – Seriotica: 0.92 They're taking up nutrients nicely – no signs of deficiencies at this stage. 📏 Height – Seriotica: 60 cm Stretch seems to be settling down gradually – everything looks under control 👍

Really happy to harvest this girl. Made sure I pushed her to the max. Just about 70 days. She was done around 65. 14hrs into pre fower and beyond. I find that with High ppf with less hrs. Makes for much better phenos. Really happy to say. This is SUCH A 100% TOP strain. And it'll be 500% a auto that I'll repeat Mind you I've hardly ever repeated any strains. Except mimosa X orange punch auto and super lemon haze. And a few CBDs. So, if anything that should speak volumes to me saying this is a tip top strain. Going to run her with one of their new autos, apple strudel is meant to have very high terps. All about the taste. And this Apricot Auto from Fastbuds has this in spades.

Been doing a lot of tweaking with the new gear and multiple sets of plants. Been quite a busy week and probably behind a bit on keeping track of everything. I'm currently working on trying to get better charts made to keep track of things like light schedules, detailed feedings, height change per day, etc. My current setup is my oldest 1st set of plants (5plants) and my 3rd set (6 seedlings), in my new 4x4 Vivosun grow tent equipped with a Spider Farmer SF-1000. I have kept my 2nd set of plants (4plants) in my original 4x2 Vivosun equipped with 600W Vivosun LED. These plants had been extremely stressed due to not having soil or containers available with shipping constraints. They've been doing a lot better since then and I'm hoping they make a full recovery. Fingers crossed! Running 24hr light schedule. Both tents equipped with temp/hygro high and low ranging from about 71-81°F with an average of about 78°F. Watering by plant pot weight, according to GH FloraTrio + CalMag Schedule. Mild LST via tucking of leaves blocking developing sites. No more than 3 leaves removed per plant, per day to avoid stress. ______________________________________ Can't wait to start upgrading the quality of my journals and to hear you all's feedback! Happy growing and good vibes as always 🌱 ______________________________________ 4/29/20 - Update Okeydoke! Feel like I've been doing too much running around everywhere. Sorry for being so hectic the past week or so if anyone has been keeping up with this 😂 For the time being, I'm currently running all three sets of my plants in my 4x4 tent. It's running all three of my fans, both lights and has the carbon filter system and humidifier hooked up to it as well. I basically have the other 4x2 just sitting as a shell for the moment. Either planning to save it for climate control when curing the first harvest or sell it to invest in another Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED or equivalent and possibly another 4x4 tent. I have started a grow chart that's still a little sketchy but if nothing else having it here hells me keep up with it that much better. [April 24th @ 3pm] Plant 1- (11in.) 2- (9in.) 3- (14.75in.) 4- (13in.) 5- (10.75in.) [April 26th @ 1:30pm] Plant 1- (11in.) 2- (9.5in.) 3- (18in.) 4- (14in.) 5- (11.5in.) [April 27th @ 12pm] Plant 1- (11.5in.) 2- (10.5in.) 3- (20.5in) 4- (15.25in.) 5- (11.5in) [April 29th @ 4am] Plant 1- (12in.) 2- (10.5in.) 3- (23in.) 4- (16in.) 5- (11.75in.) [April 30th @ 3:30pm] Plant 1- (12.25in.) 2- (10.5in.) 3- (25.75in.) 4- (16.75in.) 5- (12in.) ______________________________________ The most current batch of nutrient mixes for was made this morning about (2am 4/29/20) for the 1st and second set of plants. The first set of plant's nutrients was made to 4gal of water. The mix is a ratio of (Cal-Mag/GHMicro/GHGro/GHBloom) It's mixed (for the 4gal) in order; 10mL, 5mL, 10mL, 10mL. 440ppm @ 98.5°F 890EC @ 2.2°F us/cm This new nutrient mix was applied for the first time tonight and will run about a week. I'm running a bit behind according to the GH schedule I was following due to stunting the growth I felt like over a couple issues to where I have them an extra week of veg nutrients. As I have defoliated them and they have seemed to take it pretty well, I'm hoping the increase in bloom nutrients will kick the buds into overdrive for production and the plants will start to thicken up again. The second mix follows the same order as the first set in regards to nutrient usage. This mix is only mixed to one gallon. It as follows; 2.5mL, 2.5mL, 1.25mL, 2.5mL. 500ppm @ 98.6°F 992EC @ 0.4°F us/cm This is mostly following the same GH nutrient schedule as the first set only about 2 weeks behind. These plants suffered from being in too small of containers for too long and I believe this stunted their growth. I've had them in suitable new containers for a couple days now and hoping this new mix of increased nutrients will bring them back to life a bit and get them back in schedule. I'm honestly not too sure still about the ppm and EC numbers but a few bud-dies have mentioned that it plays important roles in plant health. So until I can better research good numbers and how to control it for my set up, I'm at the very least trying to keep track of the data. I apologise about this large chunk of text! I hope you enjoy the diary anyway in spite of the fact. I'm loving the look of the buds and everything seems to be going great. Only a few months to go! 😎
