Day 65, 17th of November 2020: Welcome back at the beggining of the 3rd week of flowering. They seem to be stopped streching and now concentrating on buds. All of them are gorgeous..... The 2 Zamnesia genetics Gelato and Kalini Asia are pretty and buds are forming nicely. Kalini Asia might strech a bit more but not long. The Sweet Seed ones are really nice and I am so happy because Red Hot Cookies is already getting red.... pistils and around the leaves.. I hope the same happens to the Red Mandarine and Tropicanna Poison also. They are so gorgeous. They calmed down I don't expect more strech. Fertilization still the same every 2nd day with the ratio and mix above. Some lollipopping (Defoliation) is also done. I removed all the LST the plant remains in the same shape from now. The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

MAY 1st 2024 - LAST batch of clones have come in, Did 3 runs off each to get the plant count high enough to have the ability to pick and choose which clones to keep to get the best of the best. So a nice surprise was that we got to add in purple ghost candy to the run ! @seedsman seeds PURPLE GHOST CANDY , Out rooted every other strain in the room showing as soon as 5 days in some cases. The EXOTIC ANIMAL was extremely hard to get to root and take and grow vigorously. So we ended up cutting back on the exotic animal to fill out the bed with the PGC. We will be axing 3 of the mom's out of the tent right away & keeping the rest for evaluation after harvest, Stinkin Bishop is going, Even though it roots well, I did not like how much it haired up & for that reason its gone, Exotic animal is gone as well. As much as I love animal cookies and the sound of this strain, It HATES to clone and is damn near impossible to get it to take well. We ended up getting enough for a few rows, Then the Gorilla Sherbert is going as well, As it is a weird mutant sort of phenotype just shooting strange leaf patterns out. So our ROSTER going forward after this harvest well be : PURPLE GHOST CANDY RAGE KILLER TUNA JUNGLE LAVA LAMB CHOPS STRAWBERRY COOKIES from our original seeds, Then our GENERATION 2 mothers will be : Sugar Cane Jaeger Banana Jealousy @seedsman Peyote Skittlez @seedsman Rude Boi OG @Seedsman Fuel Do.G @seedsman after we have run the Generation 2 mothers as clones & get the harvest in, We will be finalizing our mother plant selection & cutting out the weakest of the lot. We are looking to keep 6 of the absolute best of the best. @seedsman WAIT until you see the RUDE BOI OG, I knew not to give up on it... This one is going to be special 6 year old seed but its gonna be a banger.

This is the last week of flowering, the harvest will happen this week as well. Nothing unusual, I am giving them water for the last 1,5 weeks already.

Ganja Farmer Seeds - AK 2.0 XL auto Day 19 from sprout Starting on week 3 soon Light: ViparSpectra XS2000 Watering every other day to every 2 days Started LST on the GaniaFarmer seeds. They have much faster growth than the Fastbuds growing in the same 4x4. I decided to LST only and not top the Ganja Farmer seeds. See you next week!

Great week. The plant is really starting to branch out or bush out, getting ready to pack on those nuts! I can see some purple coming in on the older leaves which is beautiful and well, I'm just really impressed so far with ganjafarmer seeds.

Not bad at all, chopped on day 73. It should / could have gone a little longer, but it was dying. After the lockout it stopped eating and drinking, and with the new light they had to much heat and the tops started drying up. One morning I opened up the tent and felt like the smell was burnt away, I lowered the temps and started flushing until it was smelly again and chopped it. Waiting for the new box to come in.. should take another 10 days max. Starting a new happy adventure ;) See you there https://growdiaries.com/diaries/214096-fast-buds-purple-lemonade-auto-grow-journal-by-colla69

As you can see, our macro lens arrived, we were able to take several photos and see the trichomes, we had never seen them so close before. We also noticed that many pistils have turned brown in the last days of this week but the trichomes are clear yet. The smell is getting stronger, reminds us of fresh fruits, mango and a little citrus. We are excited, she is healthy and smells good, but a little concerned with the development of buds and if they are within the standards for this week. Despite having many trichomes and the pistils turning brown, we are not noticing a significant fattening of the flowers (correct us if we are wrong). hahaha, noob stuff =)

Beginning of week.. No more Floralicious Plus.. It just makes the water very nasty. She is drinking like fucking crazy. She keeps drying out pretty quickly so I've been leaving some water in the runoff cup for her to have some extra on days Im not gonna be aroun till lights out.. We will see how that goes.. The leaves are still slowly yellowing.. I guess rOoTbOuNd is the issue?? Maybe?.. for once lol.. I understand tho cuz it is just a 9oz cup.. But she will make it! Got some slight red colors coming through on the tips of some top leaves (see last pic in Beginning of week) and the tips of a very few top calyxes.. Last time this plant was pretty colorful.. Hoping to get even more out of her this time around.. So I'm chilling the water.. Not just in the PM but every watering will be chilled. AM and PM.. About 35°F, I believe.. My PPM/EC/Temp meter doesnt show the correct temp.. Everything reads 50°F.. But it does great reading the TDS.. So it's still a keeper in my eyes lol. Mid week.. The bottom set were pretty yellow and were easy to just tug off.. So I did.. Colas are starting to swell.. Under my 60x loupe, it seems like damnnear all the trichomes are cloudy.. Not many amber just yet.. And I'm not checking the leaves.. I'm checking trichomes on the calyxes.. Like you're supposed to lol.. Alot of people dont seem to realize that.. They see some amber trichomes on a leaf and think its time to harvest when you still got 2, 3.. Maybe even 4 more weeks to go lol.. Just what I've seen alot of.. But I know I'm on the right track.. She is pretty healthy for the most part.. Her clone is getting thick asf too! Lol.. Just 3 little nugs hahah.. I only water/feed it with runoff from her morher that has been a little watered down.. So far shes happy and loving life as well.. Not a bad strain for buy 10 get 10 free.. I wanna see how the White Widow Photoperiod turns out.. May throw one in under the 320H when I get all that set up.. Just waiting for this girl to finish for the most part.. Then I can get started on that. End of week.. Lookin gorgeous asf! Calyxes are turning a little red toward the very tops of the colas.. Leaves are slightly doing the same.. Still some slow yellowing.. But the buds are super happy and healthy.. Still waiting of more pistils to turn.. But she is starting to swell nicely.. I love these girls... Lol.. On to the next...

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

Reaching peak flower now so added PK into the mix for extra Potassium and Phosphorous over the next 10 days or so. Never had plants soak up this much nutrients without any burn (touch wood) so I'm really impressed with the Vitalink range. Theis plant is at the front right of the tent, and to the left of the screen in the timelapse. Defoliated for the last time at the beginning of this week.

This out grow for me is extreme, cause daylight time less than 12 hours, Just awful weather, and at night temperature is 15 degrees. Despite all the difficulties Blackberry grows very vigorously and healthy. I am sure this strain will grow in any conditions.Nice genetics. Plant have already started flowering, so fast, and easy strain. For now buds r green, maybe just got the green pheno, or still early and i will see purple colors, color is not important to me. Still weak smells like berries, very tasty. Thanks Fast Buds, nice genetics, and thank to everyone who follow my grow report, Peace!😇

2025-10-15 2025-10-15 The Shaman was cut today. It's always bittersweet for me when it's time for harvest. Like every time I've grown her, I had so much fun and joy—just looking at her brought me happiness. SHAMAN is a keeper in my outdoor genetics. She is easy to grow from start to harvest, always a pleasure. Despite the fact that this year she took longer to mature, I can't blame the genetics—all my outdoor plants were 3-4 weeks later this year. It was simply the conditions. Let's talk about conditions: The soil bed is prepared in autumn the year before and refreshed in springtime, so the plant always has at least 60 cm of deep, nice, and fluffy enriched soil base filled with microorganisms, microbacteria, and mycorrhizae. The roof is the most important part. This year I added 2 SCROGS—that was great! She stayed stable during heavy wind and rain and kept on shining after the storms. I'm very pleased with the outdoor season overall, despite a very cold and wet spring and summer with only short periods of hot and sunny weather. The girls in my garden didn't care and kept growing and blooming until the last day. Thank you @DutchPassion_Official for the seeds—I still have 2 left for next year. My first Attempt with SHAMAN https://growdiaries.com/diaries/27066-shaman-dutch-passion And the second Run https://growdiaries.com/diaries/106092-grow-journal-by-mrs-larimar Breeders Infomation: Shaman is a solid, highly powerful F1 hybrid. This mostly sativa strain has the THC level of 13.7%. It consists of 75 % sativa and 25 % indica. It is perfect for the outdoor and greenhouse cultivations. The plant is resistant to the mould and the bud's rot due the open structure. It has a big intermodal distance between the buds. The flowering time is 8-9 weeks in greenhouses. The plant reaches 1-1.5 m in height. The sweet woody smoke brings a sensual high-quality sativa effect. I hope you all enjoy reading my diary. stay hydrated legalize worldwide
