New week, she is developing very fast now, we are tying the branches down almost every day. We bought an EC meter, and we finally know if we are within acceptable parameters. Tap water is approximately 70 ppm and after adding fertilizers the ppm was close to 850. We are also planning to make our own colloidal silver for use in clones. If all goes well, we will start flowering in the ninth week.

Week 18 done and dusted!! Week 10 of flower!! 🌸 They're ready!! There's enough milky/amber for my liking and they're currently on day 4 of zero water so they'll be pretty much bone dry!! 🏜️ I've turned the LEDs off for their 2 days of darkness!! 🌃 And once that's up I'll give the bottom of the tent a quick clean and take everything out except the extractor fan and a small dehumidifier then 14 days of drying!! 🍂 Catch you next week for another update!! 🍋🍇🤙

For this week, since its second week of bloom, will give it a P boost to the 1st gen mother to make sure she knows it's time to switch gears and flower. So taking out Flora Bloom and added dry Koolbloom which is 1-42-22 450PPM and also added 100 PPM of Flora Grow and 100 of CaMg for my main macro/supplement. Will be doing silica every other week and Hydro guard every week (since I found brown slime) Will resume with Flora Bloom next week. Been only doing Hydro for cloning and vegging so its my first time encountering brown Slime. Anyone know how I can get rid of it? What I know... - Need to lower PH to closer to 5-5.5 from 6.0 - Added Hydro Guard to fight slim - Minimize Air Stone duration - Been having it on pretty long because I have one large pump and I use it to brew Compost tea for my organic grow. - Need to minimize light penetration to resi - I have a perforated plastic cover laying around the house and I have been using that to cover the resi and sometime I even forget to put it on. Anything else? I run totally chemical nutes from GH Flora Series. And I have been sharing the PH and PPM meter with my organic nuets which I brew for 36 hours before use. Maybe some of that got contaminated thru that? Cause I have been using the same bucket system (without res) to raise my mothers for almost 7 months already and never encounter any slim before. I think I finally understand what tops are LOL: So please correct me if I am wrong... What I understand: - All tops large or small will "stretch" at the first weeks of flowering - Most of the "stretch" only occurs at the tops - The "stretch" will determine the length of that bud - The "stretch" should be as high as possible BUT with short distances between the NEW internodes that develop during that period. for a large and dense bud. - Don't get confused with stretch that cannabis experience under low light.

Another 20L dechlorified tap water reservoir change on the 19th. Flowering stretch looks to be finally over - and I'm glad, because I've got no more vertical space left. Can barely believe these have been topped, they're by far the biggest plants I ever grew (not that I have grown many to be honest lol) Did a good defoliation session on the 22nd, but that was before the pics and video. RH went down from around 70%+ to a controlled 64%. Temps are super high at the tent, but the girls look to be handling that very well. We'll see.

In the video you can see quite well how much work the defoliation of Mrs. Jealousy has been. I had to graze so many nodes and internodes, really gigantic, these genetics. We'll see how it goes. I can already imagine it. What do you mean?! So, I'm going to call it a day for today. Food is waiting. Take care & bee 🐝 positive! Yours Alpha_Green Hello dear garden friends, I hope you are doing well and everyone is high in the sky. Finally, the American election campaign has come to an end. I can't hear all this anymore. So let's start right away with new photos from this morning and of course a few suggestions from me. The profile of my beloved Sour Jealousy now resembles that of a closed tulip. It will soon reach its full potential and bloom as if there were no tomorrow. Last night I personalized the conditions a little more precisely and adapted them to the respective growth. Since Lady Jealousy is still withering a bit, I keep the humidity just about at the reasonable limit of tolerability for both fully flowering Sweet Seeds ladies. I think temperature and humidity is a good but necessary compromise here. Different strains require different conditions. Especially when growth is so different. I also find the tribes of the three protagonists interesting... In my opinion, it tells us a lot about the selection of phenotypes in breeding. So my dears, the day takes its toll. Time to sleep. Thank you all for being out there. Like-minded and motivated to share our efforts around the cultivation of these enchanting plants. Thank you for this wonderful gift of being able to grow. Nothing can be taken for granted in this world. Not even happiness and peace. Take care and bee 🐝 positive! Yours Alpha_Green Hello again…. 👋 This morning the buds of the Dark Devil lady, which was harvested a little too early, came out to dry. I tried a little in the vaporizer. And I would like to take this opportunity to express great praise. The effect and taste are really very pleasant, although it was not quite there yet. And a berry-scented taste - very pleasant. I'm already looking forward to the perfectly matured lady then even more... 🤩 Yes, everything is going great at the moment. I'm really happy and satisfied with all the girls. Tomorrow my Sweed Seeds Jealousy package will be delivered from Spain. Despite the circumstances there with so much suffering due to storm disasters, super punctual. I'm already mega excited about it. Sweed Seed also presents a brand new hybrid strain. It hides or unfolds 55% indica and 45% sativa parts. Can't wait: Jealousy Z XL Auto Sweed Seeds I think this will be my first run of the Homebox! Yes!!! Oh, I almost forgot to mention that from today on the 8 side radiators are active for 12 hours each during a daily cycle. Predominantly 640 – 780 nm. Dark Devil is definitely really poisonous, wow - awesome turn... I had a 3-month break, that's noticeable... ;-)) A little mental excursion at the end of week 7: "Freedom"... We cause ourselves the most stress, because we have a completely distorted conception of freedom. Freedom does not mean being able to do everything you feel like doing. The assumption of having to do something all the time, is the main reason for stress. Only, when we have internalized, that we don't have to do, what we don't want to do: Only then, we are free.

Cherry cola,the one we thought was gonna be a runt turned out to have the fattest,tightest,most dense buds. The bud structure on her is absolutely amazing,the aroma she leaves on your fingers is out of this world and honestly she will be one that hits the tent again. She may of been smaller but that’s only because we thought she wasn’t gonna make it giving she had issues in the first couple weeks. But she bounced back and thrived the entire grow! Highly recommend this strain to any home grower that wants a nice plant with even better bud structure 🔥 she’s definitely a keeper!

This is going to be a scattered Summer, as I have had enough with plants being stolen from my property 2 years running. So I am sharing Pheno's this summer with Friends and Family, throughout this local area... My seed-gathering hit a spectacular spell this winter, and there are simply not enough years left to grow all of the Treasures I have acquired. And there are some juicy specimens. For the purposes of maximizing a single diary, I am going to check in with and keep a loose running diary on these 8 selected Phenotypes. They are all going to be following a set routine, unlike any previous grows. Pre-loading the soil in the outdoors location will be the Norm, it’s something I have never done. Using specific Soil Amendments and Mulch applications will be new ground for me, as these are all proven and successful steps to take, in producing Nutrient rich Soil and a fully developed plant at harvest. People: I love talking with people here on G.D., such as those right here and many more; DeFharo, LegacyMarketFarm, Roberts, DissNoof, HighRoller909, Ferenc etc. (I know I should have your name right here too lol ) Thanks everybody for the words & assistance in the past and I'm sure you will all hear me Squealing when/if the shit hits the fan. I feel this is already on its way to be a wonderful experience this summer. Mostly this will be grown in the boonies, virgin ground on the edge of a certain Farmers Field, with the Farmers consent. And the path he has cleared for us... Just put the 30+ seeds in water a couple days ago, all the seeds in Dirt within 48 hours of each other. We'll see which ones make it and which ones get replaced... awaiting sprouts to Pop through, I wanted to get this set-up and have it waiting. Sending out Best Wishes to all the Brothers n Sisters getting ready for a Big Summer. - Mar 25th a.m., 21 of 40 have sprouted... by Noon there were 24/40 and the obvious ones with Open leaves... had their first Foliar mist at lights out. Kelp Meal is next to be added to the Foliar. Will wait for a bit more development & participants Mar 26th, Lots of activity overnite as Now, 35 of 40 seeds have broken through Mar 27th - Foliar Mist @ lites-out (a.m.) Foliar pH = 5.9 - transplanting healthy plants into 1 gal pots starting tonight as they are ready - Soil in the 1 gallon Pots will be the existing mix with the agitated addition of Azomite, Kelp Meal, “2 oz of old dried-up weed” and some diluted RapidStart - a week ago today, 33 seeds were put in water. Another 7 were added the next day… its a nice way to wrap up germination-week up. Still a few seeds in that crazy survival mode… alls good though - finishing Germination week tonight by moving this gang into 1 gal pots. - pre-soaked next soil ahead of Transplanting; 1 gal h2o pH 6.3 ~ 36 - 40gal soil - DynoMyco introduced to Bulk Soil and mixed well. Each seedling will have it sprinkled on its roots and into it’s destination pot (1st time using it)

*apologies for lack of media in first week* Welcome to first week of Fastbuds Cheery Cola Auto, growing along side Fastbuds Gorilla Cookies, so good it has its own grow diary on here! So be sure to check it out! Started off by doing some surgery as the husk was still attached to the stem. By day 7 it it looking slightly hungry, so gave it it's first dose of a low strength batch of nutrients. See next week how she likes it!

Day 64 - Beginning of the Final Flowering Week 🌱 Hello, my grow friends! We’re entering the last flowering week, and it looks like I’ll be harvesting the plant around Friday, which will be roughly Day 68. 💭 Harvest Decision: It’s a tough decision because while the buds are still growing, the trichomes in the middle and lower parts of the plant are already about 80% milky and 10% amber. I’ll keep an eye on things and plan to check the trichomes again on Day 65, two days before harvest, to make a final decision. 🌿 Trichome Considerations: I have a feeling that even after cutting the plant and hanging it upside down to dry, some nutrients might still move into the buds, potentially causing them to swell a bit more. This is something I’m curious to see. 💧 Humidity, Water, and Temperature: As I mentioned in my last update, I flushed the plant yesterday, just before the start of the final week, with 4 liters of water. This should help flush out any remaining nutrients, and I likely won’t need to water again before harvest since the pots are thoroughly soaked. The humidity and temperature are holding steady between 52-58% and 20-24°C, which I find ideal. I’ve got my exhaust system and fan running continuously to ensure no mold develops. 📸 Final Updates: I’ll check in again with an update just before harvest to let you know how things are looking. Remember, I’m posting new pictures and videos of my plant every day. 🌱 Day 70 - Last Day Before Harvest 🌱 Hey Grow-Friends! 😄 Today marks the final day before harvest, and I couldn’t be more excited! As planned, I’ve kept the plant in darkness for the last 48 hours and haven’t watered it for 6 days. My goal is to let it sit in the dark until this evening, when the time finally comes to chop it down. 🌿✂️ Drying Decisions 🌬️ After much research and considering several factors—especially the high humidity in my tent—I’ve decided to go with wet trimming instead of dry trimming. I know dry trimming is often recommended for better bud quality and taste, but my main concern is avoiding mold at all costs. So, to play it safe, I’ll wet trim the buds, get them into the right size, and then place them in a drying net for about 7 days. Timing Concerns ⏳ I’m still figuring out the best timing for transferring the buds into curing jars. Since I’m wet trimming, I won’t be able to rely on the classic “stem snap test” to check dryness. But we’ll figure that out as we go along! Final Reflections 🌟 It’s been an amazing journey, and although I could push the grow a little further, I believe this is the perfect time to harvest. Given my upcoming personal plans, it feels right to finish up now. I can’t wait to report back with the harvest update soon! 🌿 Stay tuned, and as always, thanks for following along!

Hey guys Ive had technical difficulties but I've kept pretty good paper notes and pictures. I will try to transfer things here later. These clones were started March 20th I'll start a new week tomorrow and post weekly conditions and methods. These plants have been through 30mph wind gusts, freezing temps and other extreme environmental problems as well as pests. I'm very happy with the progress they've made this far.

Stretched a bit. Ramping up their nutrients. She’s doing well! She had a prominent main cola. She’s not as big as the other testers. Bu tv seems to be the most frosty so far
