Aug 22 - Aug 28 Week 16 (Day 106-Day 112) The Low Down- Plants responded well to the Advanced Nutrients I watered with a couple of days ago. By 'responded well' I just mean that they didn't yellow or adversely react. I'm still watering 2 gallons per day per plant when I water, but I skipped a day since I don't want to get root rot. Twice before I have had the plants get waterlogged at the bottom of the pot (obviously right =-) ), and I didn't know then that it caused the leaves to yellow from the bottom up. I honestly thought I had nutrient burn. That said, I skipped a day on the watering. I applied kelp meal on day 111. I broke my rule and used Monterey B.T. on day 111. Honestly--I felt scared because I can't inspect the plants everyday so I went for the Monterey b.t. to combat the caterpillars. Not sure if I will apply again since we are in flowering. The Plants- The plants look great and smell great. Thank you EQuillibrium Genetics. Everyday they get a little more aromatic. The smell is somewhere between minty/lemony/orangey and some bomb ass weed. Will definitely hit. One day I could've sworn it smelled like that Gary Payton weed, basically kushy, citrusy, and a little sour diesely. On DAY 108 in the morning they smelled like orange fanta. Amendments- I applied kelp meal on DAY 111 (Aug 22). The quality has improved in my plants since I started more actively amending the soil a few years back. Before I just used to add that Alaska fish emulsion directly on the soil once a month. Now I use Kelp Meal from Down-to-Earth and the Bud Candy and Overdrive from Advanced Nutrients. I even used some cha-ching from Fox Farms at the end of last season. I don't start adding anything until at least a month or two into the grow because the soils I use already come amended. I also continue using the soil year after year. I take all the soil at the end of the year and place it on a tarp. Then I add perlite, bone meal, blood meal, kelp meal, molasses, coffee grinds, banana peels, egg shells, and mix it all up. I let that sit for a couple of weeks or longer and then start using it on my potted plants in the garden. If I have enough left over after 2 months I will fill up the fabric pots again and plant clover, thyme, and oregano during the off season.

Well she popped up very fast as to be expected these beans just explode with growth . The only thing holding my girl back was the container I put her into a 400 ml container made of glass .The first issue I had was green algae on my roots from the lights so I covered the glass from light. Then it was the constant watering that had to be done as she drank a lot.. The plants structure was good and the smell as well it is a great smelling strain from the 2nd week it was flowering .At the end she started to smell string of skunk and and another smell I can't say what exactly . The team at fast buds has a great line up of genetics and I'm going to try my hand at some more in the near future ..cheers everybody and good luck anyone else growing in the solo cup challenge ...

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

This girls canopy is like a sheet of silver, there are so many tops. She may have been over trained as I had so sacrifice some tops to make room. Another lesson learned. She is starting to fatten up and has a lovely fruity aroma. She is in autopilot right now and I cannot wait for her to finish!

Hey now, hope everyone has been well. Super excited football season is finally here so things are about to get busy. I went out of town for 4 days and the plants struggled a little bit with the PH getting slightly too high before I returned. I also came back to see that some type of insect was munching away on the lower leaves of my Sundae Driver which I sprayed the plant and coco with neem oil, but hopefully they didnt do much damage before I can get them under control I have never experienced insect problems indoors, likely because I grow in Coco and not Soil. However, I left a 5 gallon airpot full of coco from a previous grow outside for a couple weeks by mistake, and pretty sure bugs got into. I wont make that rookie mistake again. Anyways the rest of the ladies are looking pretty good, They are almost getting what I consider a full dose of nutrients, even though it half of the manufacturers recommended dosage. I am feeding all Gen Hydro cal mag, Armor Si, and maxi grow. I also add some food grade hydrogen peroxide to keep the reservoir fresh for around 10 days or so but I clean it once a week. Not sure why I cant select them on this site anymore, I know they got sold but they don't list them under either name. I did get all the ladies transplanted from solo cups to airpots on day 16, and it took 24 hours or so for them to recover from the transplant and start growing again. I am running 3 of the 3.4 gallon, and 2 of the 5.4 gallon just because that is what I had available. I hopefully top them all sometime this week for the first time, as soon as the roots are a little stronger. I let them grow to 7 nodes or so before I top them and make sure they're growing fast. Hopefully I can still mainline the Sundae Driver, she looks healthy other than those two leaves chomped off. I dont really do any LST until I get get the first toppings done, because my primary goal at this stage is to ensure she grows a strong set of roots before I start manipulating her. All the plants are on their 5th nodes, except for this Green Crack 2.0 which is only on her 4th node. We got another heat wave coming through my region that I am not too excited about but at least its earlly in the game and I dont need to crank this light up yet. I am only running it at 30% and its putting off plenty to keep this ladies happy. Hoping to get a topping done this week, then another one next week, and be ready to flip to flower by week 7 or so. Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Solo dejo a la planta crecer o sigo haciendo algunas podas... Cuando y como??? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Tampoco sé si seguir amarrado es una opción.... O solo dejar que crezca y que ya comience la floración....

30.10.2025 The last week has been a chilled grow. Before yesterday I turned up the light intensity to 450 and yesterday to nearly 500 mol. They are struggeling a bit but they hopefully will recover soon, bathing in sunlight and best conditions. Now the truth will appear and they will show their sexes. Actually I really hope that both will be female. What do you think? 01.11.2025 As predicted the big one is a male and as I changed my mind I seperated him from them and left him at my window in another room. Maybe he manages to go on so I can collect some pollum? What a pitty because he really is a very precious plant!

This week ( last 4 days) the plant took off. The roots reached the nutrients rich water and the plant is growing very fast. The PPM dropped from 320 to 290 in the last 4 days and the PH is going up. I had to adjust down the PH tow times those last 4 days. My CO2 levels are kind of high ( between 650-1000) without adding any CO2. I’m trying to keep the temperature at 78 degrees Fahrenheit day time and 73 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Humidity swings a lot because of the AC . I’m using a humidifier and I try to keep it between 60 and 80% RH day time and 50-60% RH at night. After I cahanged the water at day 21 I increase the light intensity to 42%. For light I’m using Fluence Spydr 2i along with the fluence dimmer. I’m a beginner, this is my 2nd grow and I don’t have a lot of experience. I will really appreciate any comments or help if you guys notice that I’m doing something wrong. I’m here to learn and gain experience because I love this stuff!!

Tentei fazer um scrog na última semana mas a planta estava pedindo mais espaço pra crescer, então trouxe ela pro meio do grow e deixei todo esse ambiente para ela, ela continua muito forte e sem nenhum sinal de estresse. Não colocava muita fé nessa strain mas confesso que já sonho com uma grande colheita!

My gas tax plant is looking absolutely incredible right now. It's got these massive buds that are super dense and have this awesome dark color to the leaves. I'm so excited to see how it turns out when it's finally ready to be harvested. I've been checking the height, the thickness of the stem, and the density of the buds to get an idea of how much longer I have to wait. I think I might start flushing it soon. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

La SF2000 spinge al massimo da qualche giorno e si vede che c’è una bella copertura nella tenda (4x4) cerchiamo di farle stare bene perché le 4 gorilla 🦍 hanno avuto carenze importanti perché ho fatto dei pasticci verso la 4 settimana, speriamo che riescano a riprendere il meglio possibile…le altre tre piante più giovani invece vanno che è una meraviglia 🤩, ora iniziano a mangiare come si deve

Smoked this before from somebody else's grow who I know didn't posses the greenest of fingers and it was incredible, so will be interesting to see how good (or bad) it will be in my hands. Just water week 1
