This diary will be solely too showcase as I go along also too help me keep track here and there when needed. Not all will be correct or down too perfection but is still a journey you can join along with 🌱 Gifted these great beans from across the water and glad to finally see them pop through the soil 💚

They are frosty! Getting close.

Today March 10th is day 50! I spend a few hours of work every other day to tie branches and manipulate leaves -white pistols are showing -will secure netting and stop using pipe cleaners to tie down at the end of the week -I have been using nutrients about every other watering -1.5 tsp micro .5tsp grow 1.5 tsp bloom in about 2 Litres of water After 2 weeks. Royal Gorilla is the fastest blooming followed by the Green Gelato. The LSD is slower. The HulkBerry I started 4 days later is blooming ok

Out of the 4 seeds only the gnarly taproot made it successfully. It is growing visually more and more everyday and soon I will investigate other two seeds that didn’t germinate and make this a one plant operation.

Hey people! We have arrived to Day 14 and WOW these girls really do make you realise why the company is called FastBuds!! (Just checked my last diary and I said the same 😂, FastBuds genetics are really fast guys). The GSC girls have BOOMED in growth since week 1. Unfortunately, my local mail service lost my FastBuds Gelato seeds, so the back two pots right now are mystery seeds, and they definitely have a very slow growth rate compared to the GSC. The small cup is Gorilla Glue (photoperiod), but just doing for fun as it was lying around, may not continue with it so let's not focus on it. This diary is all about the GSC, so who cares about all that! Gave them a second feed of nutrients, and PH'd it to the right level. They seem to be LOVING it. I have upped the dose since my last grow diary for this strain and they are reacting very well it seems. Thinking of doing some LST next week or so but not sure if I should, never done it before and don't want to mess these plants up. I've done a lot of research on it so I'm going to have to come to a decision next week. We'll see! Much love friends, see you on the next update! Hope you and your loved ones are safe during this world situation and may you all keep in good health! ┏(＾0＾)┛ ***EDIT*** MY GELATO SEEDS ARRIVED (a day after this Week 2 entry)! Woohoo! Will start their 1 week separate diary next week. I ended up pulling out the smallest mystery seed in the back (trashed it) and replaced it with a FastBuds Gelato seed. I then transplanted the other mystery seed to a 5th pot, as it seems to be doing well, and replaced it's old pot with another FastBuds Gelato seed. I also just got an EXTRA LIGHT! There was no real need for it, but I really want to try and produce the best buds possible. I have added a MARS HYDRO TS1000 LED. Hopefully they do well with it.

These 2 are growing amazing, especially plant 1 is doing great. I've had the humidity on about 40% for most of the time since I have another flowering auto in the tent but these don't seem to mind. I've also had them on about 400umol/m2/s

hello growmies! day 51 finally the pre-flowers begin to appear. I apologize for the few photos but unfortunately they really filled the box and I find it difficult. overall I have to say they look in perfect shape! I will keep you updated thanks for passing by. like and comment! good day and beautiful growth to you 🌳🌱

Good week... she's grown a lot, is looking VERY strong - #1's stem is already pretty thick for such a young plant.... so I think I'm going to let her get a couple more nodes on her and then top and clone her... #2 is a little weaker so I think I might top her this week. I've put them both on an aggressive veg feed and they're both responding very nicely to it... such a difference from autoflowers! I find it fascinating..... so much so that I tend to rather ignore them... for example, I think I MAY have given them a drink of something only 4 or 5 times in their lives (they've just celebrated their 4th week from seed)... never any complaints, never saying "hey, fool - pay attention to me!" .... I glance at them once a day and move on.... Still trying to decide where in my yard they're going to be planted - but I've got at least 4 more weeks before I'll feel comfortable enough with the weather to go dig a hole for them... SHOULD also start some LST, I suppose.... going to be relying on LST a lot outdoors so I can hopefully avoid the bud rot that plagued me last year... Great fun! May 4 - I've decided I'm going to top #1 today and stick the top in Clonex, into a RootRiot and plunk it into a DWC bucket ... so while I'll have these two plants out in the yard waiting for an October harvest, I can flip the clone indoors for an earlier harvest to see if I like the strain at all.... Hmmm... maybe I'll do that to both of them and keep one in veg while I flip one of them... This is kind of cool - I'm learning about all the possibilities growing photoperiods gives you... just amazing! I'm like a kid in a candy store! LOL! I'll put up a video when I top and clone... but don't take it as gospel because this will be my first time and I don't REALLY know what the hell I'm doing... just having fun and experimenting! May 5 - Happy Cinco de Mayo! Didn't get around to topping and starting a clone yesterday... but I've just now posted up two videos - the first where I'm determining where to top - and the second, longer one, where I place the top I've just cut off into DWC to clone... or ATTEMPT to clone! LOL! God knows if this is going to work... if you've got any comments on what I've done, hints for a better way of doing things PLEASE comment below! I could use all the help I can get! Should I, for example, chop off the lower fan leaves of the top? Or are they needed for the top to survive? I can't help but think they're a pretty big drain on the poor thing... #1, which is the one I topped, is really showing me she needs to get outside in the yard... her roots are starting to peek through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot.... I THOUGHT a 2-gallon would be big enough to last at least a month and a half but..... I'm going to have to get serious about where to put these ladies!

Going smoothly, got a 3rd Trellis in case they grow to high

Week 7. About 1-2 weeks more for 4 out of 5 plants. I’ll feed them one more time with nutrients and then I’ll start to flush.

Buds Incoming & Balcony Patrol Engaged 🐾🌸 We’ve officially hit Week 2 of flowering, and the signs are now impossible to miss—pistils and early flower sites are popping up all over! After running 11/13 light cycle in the tent, I’m seeing the payoff: compact structure, steady stretch, and the first sparkling hints of what’s to come. 💡🌿 This week was all about keeping her supported during this crucial transition. Here’s what she got on her plate: Foliar Silica spray for strength and resilience 🌬️ A full round of Alg·A·Mic, Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, Top·Max & Cal-Mag 💧 pH adjusted to 6.6 using Bio pH- 🌡️ A fresh brew of compost tea followed by Effective Microorganisms two days later for that living soil magic 🔁 And honestly? She’s thriving. Strong posture, vibrant color, no signs of stress—and just enough stretch to let those future colas shine. I really feel like she’s found her rhythm now. Bonus moment of the week: My cat discovered the balcony and decided to join me for a little garden patrol. First sniff, first paw on the tiles—it’s officially a shared project now. 😺🌿 We’re stepping into bloom with style, strength, and a bit of feline approval. Can’t wait to see those buds start stacking! Stay tuned—this Red Hot Cookies is just getting warmed up. 🍓🔥

Just topped part of this beauties 🔥👌✌️ Put 2ml per l revive by Advanced nutrients I've noticed that helps girls to recover After transplant & topping This accually a week 3 of vegetation cuz i threat first 2-3 like seedling stage After germination stage😁😂🤪

Great grow, dealt with some pests that took a few plants from me . But overall my best grow quality so far and I’m very happy with the grow!

Topped in last few days 2-3 days ago, was completely overran with life , kids and work so didn’t do SST on Wednesday , nor water as the reservoir is still somewhat half full, I mist the top soil lightly, was everyday , last 4 days every 2-3 days as cover crop retain moisture and probably pull some from the reservoir . Galaxy Grape 2nd seed sprouted but got ate by mould mites 😂, actually they manage to eat 2 Galaxy grapes and Eden secret sprout 🙈🤣🤣, 100% living soil and only strong will survive 🙈😂😂😂😂 elimination by necessity of nature haha

Just did last light defoliation.. she is bursting with trichomes .. lighting and video don’t do them justice... pics you can see little better
