Aug 24: starting the sixth week of flowering and this Blueberry Pie F1 Fast is amazing. The development of the flowers has been very fast and they are nice and big and thickening quickly.
Thanks to Mrs.Larimar and I totally agree that these F1 hybrids are amazing.
Did a watering round with potassium silicate, and likely the last one but we’ll see.
Probably three weeks at most to go, so no more molasses and now mostly just pHed water to the finish line.
Did a final light application of malted barley and Power Bloom and watered in. Removed fan leaves that were growing inward and shading buds.
Aug 25: Flash pics are only okay when using a far red light after. Don’t take flash pics of plants unless you also have a red light. Having said that, I love taking flash pics of my plants.
Aug 26: sunny again but not too hot and had the UV lights going. To spread the UV around I rotate the plant 90 degrees three times. This seems to be okay. This plant is the furthest along in flowering so I’m giving it most of the UV light and the slower ones can wait until they’re closer to harvest.
Aug 27: she’s doing great. Up to 12 h of rain tonight with the potential for a pretty intense thunder or hail storm in middle of the night. All plants are in the garage tonight to ride it out.
Aug 28: spent last night in the garage to stay out of the all night rain that was forecast. Turned out to just be light rain. Overcast all day and no UV light today.
Aug 29: this plant is amazing, but I’ve said that before. The other day I noticed that some branches on the side are heavy enough that they are now slumping against the SCROG net. Fun to see that.
The flowers are noticeably bigger each day and she still looks very happy. She is also becoming quite top heavy but the water bottle weights and five gallon pails of water hold it stable in the winds.

So WHY is this auto taking so damn long to mature??? Is this normal? It's my first hydro grow, but my wife's soil grow started after mine (more than a week) + was grown in the exact same room .... but has been harvested over the past TWO weeks. Thoughts?
Not much needed doing this week. Did a huge trim mid week that was posted to a mid week update in last week's diary entry. She didn't like it at first but then bounced back pretty well. I think I have a very slight touch of nutrient burn on some of the tips, but it could also be a touch dry as we're having a hard time keeping the room over 40% humidity as the outdoor temps here are stupid cold recently.
Hoping to harvest in 2 weeks or so.. but could be longer. Urgh.
She's a big, bountiful, heat-loving lady that's finally a under a bit of vegetative control... but apparently REALLY likes to take things slow.

Light increased from 50% to 60% strength.
I also made a new 10L feed, and added it to the reservoir, there was still 2850 ml in the reservoir, so i can calculate how much they get per watering.
Opened the reservoir for a couple of minutes.

Day 15. Girls got dried up again, but i transplanted them !!! Now in one day they stretched, happy and all will go as diamond ! Think i lost one week at the end of grow with all those hiccups ...
Pots 30 liters, were topped up with Biobizz All mix soil 80% and Biobizz Worm Castings 20% , each girl got 600 ml of water.
Big pots sorted low humidity too , now i have too high even, but exhaust is sorting excess..
Light is working well, but ... coverage for 3 plants is impossible, so for veg i still with help of pot rotation will manage, later ill plug one of my quantum boards as extra.
For two plants TS1000 would be perfect in veg, for flower still its one plants light.
Money wise its a huge grab ! Less than 100£ for 150W with dimmer ... Honestly impressed with it , maybe next week i wont mention it , but .... ;)))
Tent is doing her job too, perfect size for 2-3 plants, even 6 inch fan fitted perfectly !
Strawberry looks tallest from all, will need some LST soon.
Happy Growing !!!

This flowering week gave me some experience about watering because i used only hand watering method so i made a mistake when i watered in this week . some nutrient dropped upon some leaves of my banana daddy one (the second biggest of my babies). But i also experienced this on vegetative state so i can take care very well of my plants and they made a great start . Can't wait to see the flowers of my babies but i'm still trying to do another steps and to grow organic.

She has stretched a lot more than I thought she would! Day 18 of flower and I believe we’re done stretching from here on out. I defoliated a bit so some of the lower bud sites can absorb some light. Also gave her some nutrients this morning. Onward to week 10 ✌️🏾

Hey folks. She got thrashed by a pretty good storm but I think she'll pull through. This season is an anomaly the rainfall has been above average and a tornado occurred just a few miles away. The girls were looking absolutely stunning before hand though. I was very proud that morning and before even lunchtime it started hailing. It will be easier to tell what the real damage is when I can get into the mud without making a mess but mostly the plant was fine. Still raining good hadn't had to water her. Got her cleaned up from the hail damage and decided to try out cutting all of her branches out from below. Hopefully I end up with a tree.

I changed the water and raised the nutrients this week, I'm going to start 12/12 today. Not much to report but they're growing fast, power plants are already out pacing the rest like last time.

La fase de engorde sigue viento en popa y una fragancia dulce inunda cuarto de cultivo junto con unos atractivos colores.
Día 70, Día del último Riego con fertilizantes y desde ahora serán 15 días solo con agua y enzimas para obtener un resultado más limpio.

Week 7 of Flower going well, plants seem to be stressed a little bit though I believe it's either some slight nute burn or a nute lockout caused by overfeeding. Runoff EC coming out about 200 higher than the input also runoff ph is around 5.4-5.5 which to me indicates slight overfeeding. Going to feed one more week every other day with a watering in between each feeding ph'd to 5.7, than I will start my 2 week flush using clearex by botanicare and plain ph'd water. Some nice purples have also started to really come out this week and the trichomes are constantly packing on.

This will be the last week i will Feed. I m keeping TDS at 400PPM and PH at 5.8. This week I took out the Silica Blast, Great White and also stoped the CO2.
Also I lowered the water temp to 66 degrees.
Lights on temp is between 75 and 80 degrees, lights off between 65 and 72.
I’m trying to keep humidity as low as possible around 45%
week 10 will be flush week.

I'm at the end of week 8! Just gave a feed of water and so on for the next week
Any advice on them but I know they're near. All trichomes are mostly milky, sugar leaves have amber on them but I'm not judging by

So this was quite the week...I was looking over our set up, and making sure Grandma has everything she needs when she says "it seems to me that we need a vegetation cabinet." Turns out she had all the supplies too. Cracked me up...so I ended up building a nice little veg / drying cabinet. You'll see it in the second Meph run diary, was too busy to get some shots today. 😅
She doubled in size from last week, super happy with the progress. She's under a combo of flouro and LED in the new cabinet and LOVING it. Started ramping in nutrients slow and steady, keeping the c02 around 600-800ppm while I finish up the environmental control in the new cabinet.
I realized that Mephy, might be a flight risk...so I made her a pen. 😂 ...also removed any confusion on her breed. Yeah, I nerded out a little. #prusagang #piggydankfarms
Hope everyone had a great week, and all the competition ladies are stellar! Until next week...time to go play on the farm. ✌️🌱

After some consideration I decided to move the DoSiDos back inside for her last stretch of blooming. The heat in the greenhouse caused her to foxtail and the buds became less compact. I have a tent I mostly use for drying, but with a 100W Led it can be transformed into a temporary home for the DoSiDos. I'm watching her closely the coming days to make sure she isn't too stressed and starts growing bananas.
As I had hoped the buds are growing mode dense by the day. Instead of foxtailing outwards the buds are now just growing upwards and continue to swell. Not too many brown pistils just yet, so the buds will keep growing bigger for a while.

There's another week, last major cut, Gorilla No. 1 was male or hermaphrodite so it was removed, Gorilla No. 2 looks like a female for now, maybe it will stay like this 🙏
Day 40: Because one wheels grew 20 cm above the others I had to do HST, I can do topping, but I didn't want to lose buds, so I chose HST
Day 41: the next day, the HST branch turns behind the light
day 42: The last day of the sixth week, the girl is in great condition

Not much to report this week, the trichomes are still milky. My feeling is that it will take another 2-3 weeks until they are ready to harvest.
Until then, I will continue with the fertilizer scheme. The smell of both strains is very pleasantly fruity (citrus) and I continue to monitor the VPD value and temperatures.
This time there are no pictures and only videos they show better the development, in the time lapse you can still see a growth in the flowers, slow but there is still growth.

Very nice genetic. I'll do same Jack H from Fastbuds for sure again. Plant was very strong and ready for training. I still did not smoked it, will replay later about the taste and power.
