9/8/2024 Plant B showing signs of female with hairs coming from the pre-flower formations. Looks to be stretching and starting to push into flower as well. Plant A is growing insanely well! Continuing to defoliate daily by removing larger fan leaves here and there to continue to open up the canopies on both plants. No complete water change yet since a few weeks ago. I have continued to add fresh nutrient water with an occasional pH-adjusted gallon of filtered water + cal mag. 9/10/2024 Both plants and stretching nicely and developing great canopies! Plant A is an absolute monster, plant B is small and compact but has really good node spacing already. I am expecting some nice flower development over the next few weeks! Topping off the reservoir with about 1 - 1.5 gallons per day of nutrient water at this point. Continuing to prune a good handful of leaves and smaller growth from the plants to open up the canopy leading up to day 21 final trim. Trying to stay ahead of a huge stress event for the plants. 9/12/2024 Continuing to defoliate handful of leaves and prune smaller undergrowth. Cutting only 2-4 stems per day to avoid over stressing. 9/13/2024 Raised lights over plant A a few inches as it continues to stretch. Also trying to keep the lights low enough for plant B without burning the side branches of plant A. 9/14/2024 All week I have been adding nutrient water to the system. No water change or replacement. However today, I decided to introduce just pH-balanced water to drop the nitrogen concentration in the system as we transition into week 3 flower. Highest PPM throughout the week was around 900, average 800, low in the PM after pH water 700. Had a minor flow issue with a root plug in one of the drain lines. Blew them out and flow returned. Humidity in the tent has been slightly higher than ideal this week, although VPD has been around 1 - 1.4 with the lights on. Likely due to the volume of plant matter in the tent. Doing my best to keep up with defoliation and trimming. Day 21 flower will be much needed!

Huge growth this week with this girl. Just feeding with water still, but she's chugging along. 2 weeks above ground as of this update (2.5 weeks from seed). I'll be starting my next seed this week, decided to go with Diesel Auto from Royal Queen Seeds as the next up. Look for that journal next week.

Week 7, one more week and i will harvest this precious girls, they dont require lot of attention and even slightly less nutrients would have done the trick! I still have 1 of these ladies in veg so i now what to expect and what to do! Great strain, very generous with very little attention, the perfect strain, a very nice sweet smell, it reminds me of candy very sweet, its going to be delicious for sure!

Week 4 on the veg and growth has been slower than expected. Still incredibly healthy but I probably topped em all a little too early and it’s taken them some time to come back around in recovery. The strain itself is still a slow mover it seems but the uniformity in all the plants is a really good sign of consistency and stability. Well do some tie backs on em this week to spread out the shoots and see where we’re at for week 6. I’ll flip em as soon as I start to see pronounced vegetative maturity. Alls good here for now.

Flowering looks awesome on the ChemDog! Lots of bud sites and they're growing at a respectable rate. ATF's are running 3 plants in 3 diff stages- one's a couple weeks into flower, one's just starting,and one's still the holdout. Meanwhile, I've got flowering on the Night Nurse and one of the Viper Cookies. The rest are close but I can't say for sure they've transitioned. Weather's getting into a hot and humid phase, gotta watch that ChemDog. Think it's got a decent structure for ventilation but I've read horror stories on how the Dog loves mold. Further training of the branches has been fruitful, I'm seeing a lot more topside bud sites than usual. I'm working on irrigation-- I set up a 30 gal container and it works for drip, but without a pipe system it's still one at a time, although I have to admit it's worth it to save my back. Plus, I have to have a supply ready for use in case my buddy needs to fill in for me and water the ladies. Been checking the cameras regularly ( I have them all throughout the property, game cameras with IR flash), and to date haven't seen anything that would constitute a threat. Just some curious raccoons and one really ugly opossum. Even the skunks don't bother them this year, which is nice but a little strange considering they dig in them every year. It's really just the animals I'm watching for, people aren't as much of a concern. Mostly because I don't know any. Aside from that, I sleep with my head feet away from my babies, so somebody would have to have big brass ones to even try. Yes, I know, a little overprotective. Fingers crossed it'll be one hell of a harvest (by my standards). 8/11 Update: Been lucky still with the weather, but it's turning really humid. Fed the girls this morning, a mix of 1C molasses and 1/2C epsom salt in 20 gallons. Just a little supplement to the tiger bloom they've been feasting on. Speaking of the Tiger Bloom, I can't help but think I'd do just as well mixing my own nutrient solution, since the cost really adds up quick. For his year, however, it'll be fine. My watering gizmo is working well, just leaks a tiny bit and that's fine for the remainder of the year. Now that I have an idea of what works for me I can spend the off-season setting up something right. Had to thin out the Lamb's a bit, it wasn't getting anywhere near enough air flow. Also took a few on the ChemDog as I'm expecting mold/rot conditions for a while and she's prone. Shouldn't have much problem, wind blows almost constantly here, but you can never be too careful. Training is taking well, overall they look pretty good. Next year-- bigger grow bags, better soil, and much pickier seed choices. I think I may even abandon the idea of topping them in the future-- it just slows them down and you can get the same end results with training. Granted, my ladies are kinda sparse and ugly, but that's the learning curve. Next time around I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do and when to do it, based on what worked and didn't work this year. Another big thing is nutrient timing-- I def jumped the gun on flower power for a few of them and it just stunted them wicked-- shoulda continued veg food a couple weeks into flower even for the early bloomer, she'd be a monster.

Week Seven Flipping to flower was a good idea because of the 6 plants in this little space. They all got into stretch and I had to adjust the light a few times. The gorilla cookies (front right) is the smallest and slowest, the gg4 sherbet is also pretty small (back mid), the orange sherbet. (Frond mid) almost catched up to the other older plants. The sfv purps (front left) stretched a bit, some sidebranches shot up, which is very nice. The gelato (back left) stretched more than the sfv and shows nice flowers starting to grow. The bagseed (back right) shot up the most with 3 big colas. All plants got a topdessing and mulch from hemp clippings. I water every to every other day with 0,5 to 1 liter. The tent got filled up pretty fast and I’m fighting the urge to defoliate. Plan to wait till day 21 of flower. Thanks for reading.

Good week, same here though. Hope she's done stretching. She's huge, please stop lol. Anyway, did a little more lst and defol on her. Upped the nutrients and she looks amazing!!! Stacking up beautifly and I'm sure she's going to have some massive cola's. Can't wait, until next week.

This plant has been developing slower than FBT2203 and 2205. I think this is genetic differences and has a lot to do with cooler air and soil Temps at the front of the tent. Amazing how much 1 or 2 degrees can have on growth rates. FBT2207 has caught up to 2208 and growth rates have taken off since I made adjustments to keep soil Temps above 15C. The floor of this shed is not insulated and it shows. Pictures are day 38 from seed

Alweer het einde van week 3 bereikt zonder problemen. Na de snoei aan het begin van de week, hadden de dames zich de volgende alweer hersteld en waren de topjes alweer fors groter. Ik ben echt tevreden over de genetica van de Powerplants. Ze drinken inmiddels ook veel meer bij de 0,5 liter per dag staan de potten de dag eropgewoon weer droog! De voeding gaat naaar e.c. 1.8 en ik voeg op iedere 10 liter ook 10 ml (Fmax) xl cell bij. Ik ben benieuwd of er mensen ervaring hebben met een hogere dosering? Antwoorden graag in de comments! Ik had nog wat spiegeltjes over en die heb ik maar aan het cob frame bevestigd om het strooilicht terug te kaatsen. Baad het niet, dan schaad het niet zeg maar. Ook de ventilatie een upgrade gegeven met een grote zwenk ventilator aan het plafond. Ik ga denk ik ook maat wat roof wantsen aanschaffen als pestcontrol, voordat ik last krijg van ongenodigde bezoekers!

1st week of flush is done the expected results is the fade, this ladies are coming to the end of their cycle. one more week of just water, I will flush again on 2/1 then let them dry out in the pots for the last week 13. When they are dry I will black out for 48hrs to increase the Trichomes and then the chop. they look to have slowed down in growth from the time-lapse I don't think they will get significantly bigger than they are now. so I hope the flush will help with the smoothness and curing and white ash as a result.

Just sitting here watching the frost and weight pack on. All of the top leaves are starting to die as I back off on nutrients. I'm going to finish them for one more week with water and floral kleen. I'm really pleased with the appearance of these plants using Oregon's Only Nectar for the Gods Basic lineup.

Hello boys and girls we’ve officially reached the finish line! 🕺🏾🎊🍾 It’s been an amazing experience growing this strain. This week we wrapped things up and flushed using Flawless Finish. Tropicana’s colors showed out with some buds going purple, her profile is a real nose-pleaser and I’m pretty happy with how my trichomes are looking (all turned milky with very few ambers) She was thoroughly set free from the salts, and after her final watering 4 days ago I just let her ride it out. Right after these photos, she’ll be chopped and set to dry! I’ll be back with updates once she’s dried and I begin the curing process. 🤝🏾 It’s been a pleasure growing this beauty alongside all of you thank you for the encouragements. Mama Tropicana sends her love too 😊 I’ve got other strains running in the garden from Fastbuds and more, so feel free to follow along. A great harvest season is upon us 🙌🏾😋 Happy growing and happy weekend, gang! 💚

Finalmente dopo la prima settimana e il trapianto ha ripreso tutto il suo vigore e colore. Dalle foto non si nota ma erano sul verde chiaro con qualche chiazza marrone chiara. Sicuramente e colpa del substrato che ho usato, è molto carico di nutrienti ho misurato i ppm dalla soluzione era 372 invece quella di scarto aveva quasi 1200 ppm! Ora solo acqua e power roots per questa settimana, così non si bloccherà come le mie prime due auto.

Zum Vergleich Bilder mit einem Feuerzeug. Beide FastBuds Pflanzen bisher sind ziemlich enttäuschend. Triebe, höchstens (!) zweimal so lang wie mein Daumennagel und schon steif mit ersten Anzeichen der Vorblüte. Vergleicht das einfach mal mit der Sunshine LSD Auto, die ich im Sommer in 20l angebaut und so ziemlich alles falsch gemacht habe. Das Teil war ein Monstrum. Selbst jemand, der seit vielen Jahren mit Photoperiodischen zu tun hat und mir von Autoflowers abriet, war sehr sehr positiv überrascht, was das Teil unter widrigsten Umständen geliefert hat. Die Buds waren so schwer, dass ich alles abstützen musste, damit nicht alles umkippt. Alleine die Hauptcola über 30cm. Wirkung hat auch gepasst. Unglaubliches Teil. Und was haben wir hier hier? Was wird das? Ein Zwergenwunderland? Ich bin ziemlich enttäuscht aber vielleicht geschieht ja noch ein Wunder. Verstehe jetzt, warum von Autoflowers Indoor wegen Stromkosten/-verschwendung abgeraten wird. Das hier wäre was für meinen Balkonkasten im Sommer aber nicht für nen 14l Topf unter 240 Watt. Hatte nach der billigen aber bombastischen Sunshine LSD Auto von 66seeds echt mehr erwartet von Breedern, die sich speziell auf Autoflowers spezialisiert haben. Wenn der Ertrag so winzig ausfällt, wie das, was ich hier in den Kübeln habe, war es das mit FastBuds. Habe noch eine Blackberry Auto und einen Mix Pack mit fünf Samen da. Aber alleine dafür sind es mir die teuren Strompreise nicht wert. Ein Miniaturwunderland kann ich auch woanders bestaunen gehen. Falls jemand einen Tipp hat, wo man ähnliche Autostrains wie die Sunshine LSD findet, bitte her damit ;) Die ist gut aber immer nur Skunk Geschmack wird auf Dauer langweilig.
