It's been 42 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

I hung dried for three days and then bagged them up in brown paper bags for two days due to the low temps and humidity before jaring them.

La evolución de la planta continúa siendo impresionante. Esta semana, los cogollos han seguido desarrollándose, ganando aún más densidad y cubriéndose con una capa visible de resina que promete una cosecha de alta calidad. La compactación y estructura siguen mejorando día tras día. El Green Sensation de Plagron sigue demostrando su eficacia, aportando los nutrientes necesarios en esta etapa crítica sin provocar excesos ni bloqueos. La planta responde con vigor, mostrando una floración robusta y saludable. El perfil aromático de la Runtz se intensifica: ahora no solo domina el dulce y afrutado, sino que aparecen matices más complejos, casi cremosos, que anticipan un perfil terpénico muy especial. El entorno se impregna de su esencia, lo que es un claro indicador del avance de la maduración. 📆 Semana 9: Los tricomas comienzan a mostrar una transición sutil de transparente a lechoso, una señal clara de que el final del ciclo se acerca. Las flores están desarrollándose con buena densidad y un nivel de resina muy prometedor. La planta se mantiene sana, sin rastro de plagas, deficiencias ni estrés. Esta semana también destaco el excelente trabajo de Green Sensation de Plagron, que ha dado un empujón final a la formación de cogollos y resina. Gran aporte para esta etapa crítica. Con la cuenta regresiva activada, he iniciado el lavado de raíces para asegurar una cosecha lo más limpia y sabrosa 💣🚀.

hey guys here with the new release from fastbuds thanks to those guys for the testers . Will be starting as usual in coco ecothrive to be precise pictured above with a pinch of mykos mixed in. To germinate I always make a hole with my little finger to the first knuckle drop the seed in and cover , water very slowly around the edge of the pot until you get runoff like the video shown . Then i put them on a plastic or paper plate onto the heatmat (not directly on it as it dries the media too quick) in a dark place and the longest iv had to wait is 4 days after that as soon as they break the coco I put them under a small 12w led/cfl light (pictured above) 6500k at around 15 cm as this helps build a good root sytem ready for transplant will be on no nutes this week will start on plant start and katana roots next week at this point i have no fan running just the light will add a fan to sturdy her next week. will only get one maybe 2 very small waterings this week depending on how quick the media dries thanks for reading happy growing guys

So I started germinating my seeds with the cup of water method on the morning of the 25/04/20 on that same day I filled up small 9cm pots with John inns #1 for seedlings and gave it a soak through and left too sit in garden. I then this morning 27/04/20 removed all my seeds from there cups as they had all cracked and slightly shown tap roots. so I got them potted up and out in the garden however today’s weather has went slightly downhill compared too the recent weeks but I have great confidence they will be sweet. I’m going too repot in about 2 weeks time into 14 litre pots with some John inns #3 if I can get my hands on some multi purpose compost them I’m going too do a 50:50 mix as have read the John inns is good but can be abit hard upon watering and what not. So that could be an idea I know they don’t generally like repotting but so long as done at the right time “not too early or late” then they shouldn’t have too many issues with there transition. I have chosen too use fast buds as have a mate who grows them indoors and never failed too impress me with the flowers. Ideally these will stay outside 24/7 so they are instantly used too the changes in temp etc I feel bringing them in and outside can cause them too stress too much. So let’s see how we go. This evening I have moved them inside my shed so it’s stays the same rough temp as it’s due too rain heavy from 2am and don’t want too risk drowning the seeds out before they have even had a chance lol 28/04/20 update: so I have awoken this morning too the heavens falling so I’m really torn about bringing the autos back out right now I don’t want too fuck it up as right now is crucial so I have put them under a led light just too give them that little push start soon as they bust through the soil they going back outside 29/04/20 checked on them this morning just shy of 48 hours from potting and still nothing broken the soil.. starting too worry man hope I haven’t messed it up. 30/04/20 ayyyy what a good morning it is indeed 5 of 8 are coming up out the soil.. lunchtime update because I’m checking them like every hour🤣 6 out of 8 are up and out or just on the verge 01/05/20 not much more going on they definitely have grown some more as for my situation with outside weather due too get better but I have had the light on 24/7 now since they been inside so think mabye I should start cutting down how much light they are getting in a day so it’s not such a shock when they have too go all night outside. Also think we have lost one of the c4’s as the shell was stuck and I tried too help her out and she pulled out the soil😫 so I just kind of repotted it and hoping for the best but don’t think she going too pull through the rest looking find though luckily enough I got 2 c4’s on the go 02/05/20 yeah this morning I woke up too find that one dead and done for i had a feeling I had killed her slightly upset but not going too dwell on it.. on a positive note sun is out all day today and due too be lovely and warm here on out so they will probally stay outside now but will bring in at night as this morning cars were frozen so it’s still slightly too cold at night for sure... evening update we lost the west coast og also and I know why I lost them both my sprayer wasn’t working and like a idiot I watered them when they was undersoil still only lightly but the c4 bean and the wc og came to top as they wasn’t far enough in and they must have been done for from that moment can only be that as rest are sweet however I can’t believe it so I ph checked my water after giving them it too start and that because I was still waiting for my ph down too come and turns out my tap water is around 8 so I’m suprised any of them made it😮 but thankfully ph down has arrived and we are getting there 6 left but they are the chosen ones I guess you going too win some and loose some. Also tonight they about too deal with all night in the dark and then that’s how they are going too be from here on out nomore 24/7 light going too put them inside with led on still still a little later then sun down as I won’t be up at 5:30 when sun comes up... 05/05/20 so I have finally got a plan I’m sticking too and it’s working just a treat atm the weather is much nicer and sunnier now so the been bringing them out every morning leaving them Out all day then around 7pm roughly been taking them inside the tent into darkness leave them till around 10/11pm then I been turning the led on and leaving them under her for the night then straight back outside soon as it hits about 7:30am i started with just A hour of darkness one night then 2 then next then 4 then before they stay out all night for first night they will get about 5 hours darkness inside as outside it’s gunna be around 6 hours and I don’t want them too be shocked by it as started them off with pretty much 24/7 lights however since giving them darkness they have started growing a lot better and smoother think 24 hours of constant light is just abit too much they need time too rest and what not, watering with small amount of vitalink soil grow literally 0.5 ml a litre I also have some root fast by another company which I Have added a half measure in too help give her a start no signs of stress they seem too have loved the little feed so will be continuing the same measurements for about a week unless they start all a sudden booming up then I’ll up the feed just all trial and error and just having a bit of fun with it. 6 days out the soil now nearly onto week 2.... excited too say the least

Русские убийцы сбросили сегодня ещё 4 ракеты на мой город, также ударили дроном камикадзе Шахед. 13 часов нет света, воды, тепла.... Пострадали мирные люди. Я удалю эту запись вечером, просто хотел поделиться как это жутко когда целый день работает воздушная тривога...... 🇺🇦💪 Им не победить, нас не напугать! Добро побеждает зло!!! У меня нет сил описать эту неделю..... Холодно, свет включают 2 раза в день по 2 часа. Мой телефон разряжен, я устал и замёрз......

Merlin Mintz Autoflower is growing great. Unfortunately pest have gotten into the room. So treating her in neem oil this week. I want to get the room treated prior buds forming. I lollipopped the canopy, and defoliated her some. She likely won't be as pretty next week after treatments. But if it solves my issues I am okay with the outcome.

Soooo week 10 :) These girls are looking reeeeaaal nice SS1 (on the left) is <25 days from harvest and SS2 has still a while to go id say 😄 But all in all things are looking super good buds are looking super nice and frooosty with SS1 starting to shift its energy into budding whereas SS2 is still throwing out some wild pistols :) The smell is super strong which I’m happy about, some staaaanky skunkalicious bud🤤 I have stopped giving SS1 nutes, giving her only water after her flush in week 9and she’s doing awesome! SS2 I’m still giving biobizz grow and bloom 0.5ml/l ea. And she is also loving her environment Got some mushies growing in the one pot though 😄 pulled them out just to be safe still have to do some research :) might have something to say about the enviroment at the surface of the soil. ??

Ciao a tutti! Sono veramente senza parole per la quantità di terpeni e tricomi, mai avuti risultati simili. Devo dire che la linea advanced nutrients sta facendo tutto il suo dovere, non ho mai sentito un profumo così, si sente anche fuori di casa. Ho defogliato ancora tra una rete e l'altra andando a eliminare tutte le foglie che erano inutili, per evitare rischi muffa (visto anche l'umidificatore acceso) e per far sì che aria e luce non abbiano impedimenti a circolare liberamente. Penso che manchino 3 settimane, dalla prossima inizierò con l'overdrive per far sì che la pianta inizi a scaricare tutto quello che ha. Sono veramente soddisfatto, senza parole. La prossima volta metterò solo più due vasi e due strain, per ridurre il consumo di acqua e fertilizzanti, ho visto che ce la posso fare tranquillamente e più o meno nelle stesse tempistiche, visto l'eccessivo allungamento avuto questa volta. Una nota di merito allo strain, la barney's non delude mai ma la mimosa evo è veramente top, lo scorso anno ho fatto quella normale stavolta per orange punch e devo dire che è lo strain migliore che ho messo finora. Bene, continuerò a rifarmi gli occhi, a settimana prossima! 🤣 🍀😎💪🏼🔝
