In week 9 my 'Fruity Terp' ladies have grown substantially and filled out the space in my HOMEBOX growtent. Therefore its time to do a round of defoliation. I take out my plants one by one and cut off the lowest branches on the stem (the ones not grown tall enough to get good light) and also the biggest fan-leaves (the ones shading the lower part of the canopy). The defoliation will increase the airflow thru my plants, which will in turn help to avoid mold from a build-up of humidity between the leaves. The light can now also penetrate deeper into the canopy now and therefore lower buds will also get more light and can grow bigger. The SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs are doing a GREAT job, my babies love their spectrum and intensity and grow like hell. The nutrients from BIO NOVA work EXCELLENT, all plants have a nice healthy green color. Since we are further in flowering now, I also add PK 13-14 from BIO NOVA following their 'SOIL-CULTIVATION' schedule.

Harvest time for Green Crack! Another successful run of this strain! While she is a bit nutrient hungry, she's been a pleasure to grow. Mars-Hydro TSW2000 killed it with this plant & grow, definitely happy with the performance of the light! Will update in 7-10 days with dry weight. Update July 1, 75 grams dry and not much flavor, will let it cure for a few weeks, then hopefully it'll have some flavor. Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚

Second defoliateon, bushy baby

Hey guys and welcome to start of Week 8! 🌻 Today is day 21 of flower so i went ahead and cut most of the plats Fanleaves off. It took a while but now the Airmovement is improved and the humidity should also be lower. I also hope I didn‘t stress them too much. From now on they will be reseaving less and less Nitrogen going forward. I hope the colours come through as well 🤞🏻 Thanks for following along and I will keep updating the progress. Happy growing 🍀

Okay, thank you so much @SmokingTiki for donating me his first price of the fast buds TikTok challenge. And thank you Heather from @Fast_Buds for the super fast coordination and shipping. You both rock and I really appreciate this – it's just amazing 💚 Will start Germination tomorrow. UPDATE April 29th: Put the seeds directly in substrate on April 26th, three days later they already put her heads out of earth. It was a sunny day and it's just perfect for little Guava. Welcome little girl! 💚

7.9.24 I had to some major jungle patrol! Everything is going crazy! I was adjusting the plants around to maximise light exposure. One branch bent. FBP1, the branches are getting heavier. I had to add my last 2 stakes. I used duct tape and some imagination, tying with string, for the rest of it, too. I'm not going to be able to move them again, so tick, toc ladies! I added 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2, containing the following nutrients:- ♡1ml per litre of Ecothrive Flourish ♡2ml per litre of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. ♡2ml per litre of cal-mag. After watering each pot with 3 litres in each, with the above nutrients. FBP3. She has again spilled out, run off. I might have mixed my soil, and used less perlight or coco. I've overwatered that plant twice now, fairly recently I'll only give her 2 litres in future. Continuing to give the others 3 litres. I've continued to defoliate. The leaf in the photo was the only one and it was like halfway up the plant. Not sure what it was, so if you know, tell me in a comment please! 8.9.24 Have not needed to adjust any ties. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.2. With the following nutrients. ♡1ml of Ecothrive Flourish ♡2ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡2ml of cal-mag I don't want to overwater, I also need to not let the soil dry enough to kill the microbes. I'll keep an eye on it, and adjust it as necessary. 8.9.24 I had to adjust ties and support for several branches. The fruits are getting heavier. I really hope they get done before anything breaks under the weight. I keep checking the trichomes daily through the jewellers loupe, each plant, and different bud sites. 9.9.24 Dijons birthday 💔 Ok, today another branch on FBP1, Branch wasn't snapped open, just fell under the weight. I tied it back up. I have some potash, which arrived today. I was going to top dress, however I've decided to cut all nutes now. I'm just watering with dechlorinated water PH'd to 5.8-6.0. "Final flush". I will continue this for next watering or so, then switch to straight RO water. Also I'm slowly lowering the temperature of the water, to about 70°F. When I see any amber, I will throw into the dark period for 48h. 10.9.24 After having my last question answered, I have decided to go ahead and call it a day on this grow. The plants had a final watering last night, with regular dechlorinated tap water PH'd to 6.0. This evening I have put all equipment inside the tent, like the dehumidifier, tower fan. I have split the stems, I mean why not? 😅 I will leave in the dark period for 48h then chop the whole grow, to dry together in the tent. FBP2 I am satisfied with the readiness. FBP1 and FBP3, are mostly glassy still but they need to come down too. I need to get it done and dried, if it's not the best smoke, it's my fault for being incompetent due to inexperience. I just don't want to risk messing up my FBP2, due to waiting on the others. So it is what it is I guess. We'll have to wait and see. This was quite possibly the worst time imaginable to do this run. I've had so much personal tragedy and upheaval, (of course we never know when these things will strike); combined with the unexpected conditions, including temperature and humidity throughout the grow. This being my FIRST grow of any plant at all, and these being autoflowers was particularly stressful. Fingers crossed that it works out in the end. All I'm concerned about now is drying in the closed conditions of the tent environment, and avoiding mould issues. The finish line is in sight. I'm so glad, now I can get back to my life. Will update, when I harvest! 🙂

Wish the buds would have got a little bigger but feel like that’s particularly my fault for a short Veg but overall I am blow away by the outcome for all the seeds to just be random bag seeds! 2 of the plants are drying now 3rd one will be cut tomorrow & the other 2 got probably 2 more weeks! Will do a taste & smoke report and also give a weight as soon as they dry & cure a little bit but honestly couldn’t be happier with my first grow! Thanks for all the support & help along the way & happy growing friends!🤙🏼✌️🏼🌱 Update on 1st plant - dry weight 42g, still smelled pretty Earthy when I put it in the jar but the smell is definitely coming out now, extremely sticky & frosty buds❄️: 1:🏼🙏🏼 Update - plant 2 Dry weight was 40 grams! Extremely happy with the out come this is honestly some of the best bud I have ever smoked! Amazing to me this came from a random bag seed, it has a very citrusy flavor, smells & smokes amazing! Honestly a 10/10 in my book, wish I could knew what strain this was so I could grow it again!😫❄️✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 3 Dry weight 34g, smells & look phenomenal, the buds are much smaller & had the smallest yield so far but this is by far the best smelling so far! Will have a smoke update on this one soon, stay tuned friends & happy growing!✌️🏼🌱 Update - plant 5 dry weight was 52g it dried a little faster than plant 4 which I will probably jar tomorrow! Will update again with a smoke report soon, this plant brought my total so far up to 168 off 4 plants👍🏼 Thanks for following friends & happy growing! Also the butter I made from the trim was 🔥🔥

Looking good so far...liking the dry amendment/ organic method. I havent tried any of the same strains with this method vs regular nutes feeding so i cant say for sure but i think i may have given a little of the yield away and cant say if the quality and taste went up to offset it just yet. Still plan to stick with it atleast until fall to get a good sample size. Will b going into week 6 on Thursday so we in the home stretch.😁😁😁.... Got blumats coming to free up time and water this style a little better. And a cam for better pics and so i dont have to b in the room as much. Should have more time to betted document everything. Damn i cant wait til outdoor season.

Here we go! Day 1 Kosher cake 15-05-21 Today for her, is the first day under the light 🙌🏻 I hope she grows up healthy and strong. I added a quarter of Biobizz's recommended dose of Root-Juice (1ml / L) I start to give less, and then increase in the next few days so as not to be aggressive with the baby. 👶🌱 I will be uploading new updates soon! Day 2 16-05-21 ..There is not much to say, the plant continues to grow and seems to like his little house 😋 Day 3 17-05-21 The girl is loving her life! 🌱💚 today I added (1g/1L) of Micro-vita to the recipe, to ensure that it is able to assimilate better nutrients and it has beneficial bacteria and fungi available for the protection of roots and for general plants growth. I also added a quarter of the prescribed dose of bio-heaven (0.5ml/1L) to start with the amino acids .. we are still at the beginning but surely he had a great start! see you at the next update! 😊 Happy growing to everyone! ☮️💚 Day 5 19-05-21 Looking great 😊 She’s growing fast.. I also added some cal-mag (0.8ml/1L) To start the prevention of calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Positive vibes to everyone! ☮️💚 Day 6 20-05-21 The little Kosher is doing well. she’s almost close to have spent a week in the grow tent.. Now the hypothesis would be to leave her inside another week and then move her outside, I still have to decide where she will go but I have various options to choose from.. We will see what to do on the next week ☺️ As always, Happy growing! ☮️💚 Day 7 Today is the last day of the first week for Kosher Cake, she spent it well and without problems. I added Biobizz Acti-vera to the recipe (1ml / 1L) to be used in foliar solution by spraying it above and below the leaves of the seedling. For now there is nothing more to say .. Have a good weekend, relieve yourself and relax. Peace to all ☮️💚

Che dire! Una.delle.mie preferite in growbox! Sta crescendo veramente bene a mio preavviso! I rami sono veramente spessi e si preannuncia veramente una fioritura esplosiva secondo me! Molto buoni anche i nutrienti di BAC sotto stretta concessione del sig.fritz che volevo ringraziare veramente molto per avermi fornito i prodotti adatti per crescere al meglio le mie piante! Volevo anche ringraziare i ragazzi di Fast buds sempre per i splendidi "fagioli"! Queste genetiche autofiorenti sono veramente da urlo! Al prossimo aggiornamento che si preannuncia veramente, veramente di oro!

We decided on Pineapple Express (by Grower's Choice) as our summer strain this year, we veg anything going outside under 16hrs ..We only get 15hrs at peak light(Far North/East, Canadian border) and this prevents any pre-flowering and possible revegging downtime. We're going to flower 4 plants indoors ASAP (to ensure we don't run out )and bring 3 out to the field in about 2-2.5 months...

Another strong week. Away for a few days and he heat was back upto 28-30 so was a bit concerned but they came through fine with a heavy dowsing. Still stretching and lots of preflowers. Very happy that my first grow is still going and this decent!

Harvest time. Good bye my love 😘

Welcome back, gardening brothers! Our first trip with water and something exceptional and we were really impressed by how this autoflowering genetics reacted.. Stay updated

UPDATES: Insanely frosty and insanely stinky already. Very suprised! GENETICS: -Mephisto ~ Sour Stomper Been waiting to plant my first Mephisto seed. I had a hard time getting a hold of some, but got the Sour Stomper from Harvest Mutual eventually. WATER: -Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) -Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: - Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 27'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1-2'C - Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C - Under Canopy Temp: 27'C (Day) ~ 22'C (Night) - Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) - VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) - Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: - Avg. ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = up to 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) - Avg. actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = up to 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) - Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: - 2 x CREE COBs - At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 35,000-45,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 NUTRIENTS: - Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) - Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) - Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: - Mostly getting out of the plants way and letting nature take its course. - Some LST. (i.e. tying down branches and tucking large leaves away) - No HST or Defoliation. INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e -PPE, Alcohol Hand wash -Gray room outside tent, -Carbon filter -HEPA filter -Plasma Ionizer -Inline UV-C germicidal bulb - Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. - Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. - Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

The plants have been drinking up water rapidly with the increased heat, I have stopped using individual gallons and now started using a hose in order to speed up the process. They seem to take about 2-3 gallons each while the larger plant I have been trying to water until I see small amounts trickling out near the bottom. Will give them a second round of organic granular feeding soon! I also started to notice this week that there are a good amount of small black flies above soil. I will have to take care of this sooner than later
