12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍 The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season.

3/30/25 - start of week 3 of flower. I have been defoliating larger leaves and leaves blocking bus sites here and there throughout the week since her growth is exploding and will do a heavy defoliation in a week at day 21. I top watered with FPE of my bloom at 1tbsp per gallon of water and PH'd the water down to 6.5 3/31/25 - My humidity kept rising in the tent and i couldn't get it down under 60% RH even with my lung room at 32% RH so i decided to do a large defol to help air circulation 4/1/25 - Filled the res with plain water PH'd at 6.5, it was real dry and between the both they took an entire 5 gallon bucket. I'll have to start checking the res every few days to see how thirsty these girls are 4/4/25 - Top watered about a liter and a half each with FPJ. Reservoirs are almost empty so I'll probably need to fill them tomorrow. I got a battery powered siphon from Amazon to make it a little easier since the trellis and canopy get in the way of the PVC 4/5/25 - filled the res with plain water PH'd to 6.3. Tomorrow is day 21 of flower so will be defoliating again probably pretty heavy but plants are looking nice, Ive been keeping PPFD around 850 while in flower

My #1 plant is huge and doing amazing. Looks like loose soil is the way to go, not ever using root riots again- all the small plants were planted in root riots, but they’re catching up!

Germination 27 September 2023 Heya 🤙👍🤙🌱🌱🌱 Winter has come and gone. The sun is out after a heavy stormy weekend it's finally time to start Germination. I have been extremely lucky, privilege and blessed to be here right now in my life. Start of a new season have been itching deep in my bones since a week after my first harvest. Let's see what the hype on Fastbuds420 delivers. In the heart of a humble garden, a miraculous journey is about to unfold. Beneath the soil's dark, nurturing embrace, a seed lies dormant, awaiting the precise moment to burst forth into life. It is a marvel of nature, a tiny capsule of potential, encoded with the blueprints of the plant it aspires to become. As the heavens open, raindrops penetrate the earth, quenching the thirst of the soil and signaling to the seed that its time has come. The seed absorbs this life-giving moisture, swelling as it takes in water. It's as if the seed is awakening from a long slumber, stretching its embryonic limbs for the very first time. Within this subterranean realm, the seed's outer coat softens, and a tiny rootlet begins to emerge. This is the radicle, the seed's first root, and it instinctively knows to journey downward, anchoring itself into the soil. It is the plant's lifeline, seeking out water and nutrients essential for growth. Simultaneously, a delicate shoot, known as the plumule, makes its way upwards, drawn by an invisible force towards the sky. It is a daring expedition, fraught with obstacles, as it navigates through the soil. Yet, guided by an innate sense of direction, it perseveres. Finally, breaking through the soil's surface, the shoot unfurls its first leaves, miniature versions of what they will one day become. These are the cotyledons, a pair of leaves that have been stored within the seed, packed with nutrients to sustain the young plant in its earliest days. As the sun's rays touch these fledgling leaves, photosynthesis begins. It's a momentous occasion, the plant's first breath, as it converts sunlight into energy. The seedling, still fragile yet full of promise, has successfully embarked on the first chapter of its life. From here, it will face countless challenges and opportunities, but for now, it stands as a testament to the remarkable resilience and complexity of nature. Thanks for reading!!🤙👍🤙🌱

Today start of week 13 and it´s the final coutdown to get some nice buds to harvest 😵😲😩🙏 I think tomorrow evening i harvest the plant wish me luck to get some good stuff 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hello. This the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Took that partly dead Pink Kush branches out and will use them for kief. The room looks much better with it gone. The plants/buds are bulking up and some are heading for the floor The Critical is quite heavy The Pink Kush is Pinkish Purple now. And the Dos Si Dos 33 is frosty. Just started flushing, I'll flush for the next 2 weeks. Then a day or 2 of dark... then harvest. It's all about taste from here on. I add 30 mm of 30% hydrogen peroxide with every 5 gallons of tap water I use for flushing. Helps finish the plants better than anything else I've used. They will even get color when it's not cold out. The Blackberry Moonrocks will be finished in 2 weeks even thou it's mostly white with stigmas now... see the pics. OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

First feeding going well so far . Day 1 of lst. Lst going well so far.

Did more tie downs, she's very resilient. Planning to flip to flower end of this week. debating when to remove root protection, before or after flower. Love being able to interact with plants on a daily.. got a 5×5 in flower and that tent is just in auto mode lol.. Happy growing

Listen up! Sweet Seeds just picked up their rating from the growdiaries.com folks—tons of respect for their killer seeds! #SweetSeeds #growdiaries

We're in the ninth week of flowering, and everything's going great. They'll probably be ready to harvest next weekend. Cheers!

Setted up this cutting of Skywalker. Having some initial problems with air and humidity. Hopefully is going to rain soon so humidity will rise a bit. Planning to do some LST and ScrOG. I'm helped by a friend because my skills are not good enough yet. Let me know if you liked the sequences! I'm trying to do some timelapse research as well. Raspberry is running the timelapse and compiling the video I'm trying to update every day or two. 😷7/12 Changed water due nutrients deposit. Clean start as the roots have touched the water. EC 1.5 Ph 6.2 😵Ps. light was set with VEG and BLOOM BOTH ON! Lol, hopefully this is the 5th day 😂

Day 64 the queens got some fertilizer 💪😃👍 Day 65 that massive smell and these juicy buds 😃👌 Day 66 that massive smell 😍👌 Day 67 i think the results are near 😍👍

So far, so good. The Dr amazingly grows similar sized buds above the light level as she grows buds behind the lights. Buds are small in general. I fertigate her once a day, 0.4 g/L of the base fertilizer. Inflow conc is 550 ppm (ca,. 1100 uS/cm), and I think I may be slightly underfertilizing. I plan to raise the concentration 150 ppm within two weeks and see if she tolerates that amount. What's fantastic in these long flowering strains, that it seems one has all the time in the world to plan and make changes, in the end, there's so much time to recuperate in case of an inconvenience! Day 107 (29-12) It consoles me that even the infortunate grow disadventures of mine with this "stretchy sativa" I think the journey will turn out successful. Let's some in April! (perhaps somewhat earlier, I dunno) If not for yields, which I reckon thwy may not be as large as I wanted (if for big yield was the original intention of growing this strain I wouldn't grow this one specially -which is know not ot be a big yielder, it was the desire of the experience of growing this noble and beautiful landrace (heirloom) sativa. by myslef...and I have 4 more seeds ;) I raised EC with 0.5 g/L Bloom fertilizer per liter solution, keeping all the other ingredients constant, in concentration and order of mixing. Every day I have the extra work of inspecting the colas to see whether they are being damaged by heat and eventually apart them from the cobs, etc., but in general, I thank God this could have been even much worse. Luckily she resists both the high indoor temperatures (31 ºC by this date, when outside temperatures are of that order), and pro-silicate additive may have been useful to resist heat, as Grotek claims.

Tutto perfetto 👌 a settimana prossima. Buon anno a chi legge 😉

Welcome back to week 9 This week will be mostly playing the waiting game and some post stretch defoliation on the Photos As all plants are done stretching, the feeding of PK was increased to support the bulking phase. The auto tent is getting more frosty every day with temps between 25-20 degrees Not much to do there, just ensuring reservoir is filled and airflow is good The photos are also done stretching….mostly….i hope 😬 The BBM now reached same height than the others and some side branches also If they stay like that for the next days I will do a final clean up defoliation on all 3 to get a bit more airflow and light penetration through all plants Feeding will reach its peak this and next week with 2.0-2.1 EC and 5.9PH and decreased slowly after that As an addition to my “why are photos stretching so crazy this time?” Question, I think I found the answer…. I started the PK a bit too early, as phosphorus in stretch makes plants grow more in between the branches… which is exactly what happened to all 3… they some times have 5-10cm spacing between the branches… Lesson learned: don’t start pk before stretch is REALLY done! 😅👍 Update: the BBM and BKH are both still growing 😬 while I first thought the CW would be the big stretcher…it now shows I was completely wrong… The CW is now the smallest in height and due to my LST the most dense I have all a heavy defoliation (not completely lollipoped but still a lot foliage removed) When I shut down the UCL it was complete darkness at the tray 😱 never had anything that dense and bushy I just hope I can keep the RH under control in late flower… And as a remark: I need new vents…both top fans get issues with the oscillation Those need to be replaced before late flower starts!

Sprayed some Silicum Boost this week. Good strong smell. You can also follow me on instagram: Dutch_Grower

4/29🐼👍 I gave her about 2 L of water yesterday with a little bit of bud factor X I think about 2 mL into that and I don’t think it needed it but I’m trying it with some other plants and I had good results but that also could have been a result of the way I mixed up my regular general hydroponics nutrients which are my favorite. 5/5 🐼👍🔥💫
