Day 85. Few days ago I trimmed most leafy Northern Lights and she loved it ! So tomorrow two most mature Alaskan Diesels go to chop room. All other plants will get defoliation too, will have space to reach all plants. Third Alaskan Diesel is catching, but he is a week behind. Green Cracks will fall in 2-3 weeks, Northern needs at least 4 .... Will move my Bruce Banner's to main tent. I still feed Northern , but all other plants are on pure water. Day 86. Rearranged all girls, trimmed them heavy, gave new positions. One Northern lights is still in dark part of tent, I think I need 7-10 days til last Alaskan Diesel will mature and it will be only 8 girls left. Brought other diaries girls to main tent and added Mars Hydro SP150 as supplemental side lightning ... They miss height a lot compaired to older plants, so I hope it will help a bit . Never used lights that way before ... Happy Growing !!!

Day 36 LST complete yesterday, side branches are tied down For this plant, I am letting it grow straight up like I grew Fastbuds Bruce Banner This looks very much like Bruce Banner which is very exciting because Bruce Banner still remains tied with Pineapple Express for the most face melting autos ive ever grown PPM are very low, I will be only tripart, there is enough Silicate sediment, and Cal Mag in the pool, leafs are very green The plant is showing its female sex organs, and is approaching the flowering stage Day 37 Expansive growth everywhere The pool will be changed tomorro for pre-flowering nutrients Day 38 Pre-flowering nutrients are installed, all is looking well posted a video for the week her leaves are very thick and mature. The leaves on the stem, the large fan leafs, have the hardest stems ive felt on an autoflower. This is certainly a new generation of Autos from 2 years ago, the smell is becoming very nice Day 39 I removed some more bottom brush from the plant, all those runt limbs that will only be larf are gone. I also removed one of the first limbs that was a runt. This strain loves to be pruned, this is its 2nd bottom clear out and she always comes back with so much growth, now the top colas can all form nicely without the bottom waste DWC very healthy, she is drinking about 3 litres a day right now I am using a 1/2 strength pre-flower blend. It's the TA bottle measurements just cut in half. Ive purposely not let this one go above 800ppm due to Fastbuds advice that this one is particularly sensitive to nutrients. Day 40 Growth explosion, everywhere has expanded The leafs are very mature, slender Sativa traits Uploaded some macro shots of the preflowers, they are very healthy Day 41 Everything is going well, she is growing fast Day 42 Huge increase in growth overnight, and she is drinking about 3 litres a day right now This is thepreflower stretch phase

The thrips infection is gone but there’re still a lot of damaged leafs as you can see in the photos/videos, but the growth hasn’t slowed down which is good. Anyway after I did some research into the big bang strain I found out that the company that sells this strain recommends “flushing” for a few days every other week starting from day 16 of flowering. This is meant to speed up bud development and I think it really did something here as the buds got twice as big. But I didn’t exactly follow their recommendations as it calls for watering the plants with large amounts of water and letting the soil dry for a few days and I don’t feel comfortable with that, so I watered them every day but made sure the soil was dry.

5/5/2024 Pistils pistils pistils 5/8 these plants are fucking exploding! Super exciting to see them like this. Pistils everywhere and they’re just STACKING! don’t even see budlets yet, just pistils. The structure of these plants is beautiful. They handle training fairly well. I topped one and super cropped it and did a bit of lst. I was feeling impatient so I decided to see what happened if I pushed the one a little harder and left the other to grow naturally.

Week 1 Flower – Roller Coster Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) Lights Flipped, Ride Ascending The ride has shifted — welcome to Week 1 of Flower for the Roller Coster Haze girls. We’ve officially flipped the lights to 11 hours on / 13 hours off, marking the start of their journey into bloom. While they’re not showing any floral signs just yet (no pistils or preflowers), this moment is crucial, it’s the beginning of the shift, and everything that follows builds from here. ⸻ Why 11/13 Light Cycle? Most growers run 12/12 — and while that’s great for many strains, we’ve chosen 11/13 for a specific reason: 🌒 Shortening the light period can help trigger earlier flowering and more aggressive hormonal shifts, particularly in sativa-dominant or haze genetics like these. 🌘 In nature, light hours gradually decrease, and this slightly shorter photoperiod mimics late-season sun, signaling to the plant that it’s time to reproduce. In our experience, this encourages a quicker transition into flower, sometimes with denser stacking and better resin development down the line. The trade-off? Slightly less daily photosynthesis, but with the right lighting power and nutrition, it more than balances out. ⸻ Nutrient Shift – From Start to Top As we flip into flower, we’ve also transitioned our nutrient formula to support the shift in energy: • Removed: • Aptus Start Booster – previously used to support early-stage root development and vegetative vigor. • Introduced: • Aptus Top Booster – same application rate (0.25 ml/L), but designed to stimulate early flower development, improve transition timing, and lay the groundwork for bloom stacking. Why this change? Because the hormonal shift has begun. We’re no longer supporting root initiation, now we’re priming the plant for floral identity, helping her internal systems prepare for the stretch, calyx development, and bloom site stacking. Our base feed remains: • Regulator – 0.25 ml/L • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • Top Booster – 0.25 ml/L ⸻ Growth & Structure Update These girls are branching like mad, spreading their wings and showing incredible vegetative structure just before stretch kicks in. Both phenotypes are looking stunning: • Pheno #2 & Pheno #3 • ~55 cm in height • Both with 8+ nodes, symmetrical branching, and healthy internode spacing. • Deep green leaves, upright posture, and zero signs of stress or deficiency. We’re expecting these girls to stretch considerably in the coming weeks, and we’re ready for the ride. ⸻ Environmental Snapshot – The Summer Stretch Begins Despite high temps, the girls are thriving. Here’s a readout of current conditions: • PPFD: 760 µmol/m²/s – measured via TrolMaster MBS PAR sensor, ensuring accurate canopy-level intensity. • Temperature: 31°C • Humidity: 50% • VPD: 2.23 kPa – yes, on the high side, but manageable for the moment. • CO₂: 632 ppm We’re aware that VPD is a touch aggressive, and we’re standing by for the arrival of the new AC unit to bring that back into optimal range. Still, the girls are handling it like champions, no curl, no droop, just upward movement and new growth. ⸻ Lights & Control Ecosystem Our lighting and environmental control setup continues to perform beautifully: • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs • Future of Grow LEDs • TrolMaster Tent-X Controller – managing: • CO₂ • Temp & Humidity • PPFD • Device sync • Spider Farmer GGS Controller for extraction fans • Dual 6” exhaust systems with carbon filters • One 6” filtered intake • All airflow dynamically managed via AeroFan + Spider Farmer extraction, allowing clean in/out cycles, keeping the air fresh and responsive. This is a precision ecosystem, designed to respond, not just run. ⸻ Final Thoughts – Lifting Off This may be Week 1 Flower, but it’s really the moment of lift-off. The girls are still pre-flower, yes but this is the space where momentum builds, energy collects, and the transformation begins. We’re shifting from vegetative growth into reproductive focus — and if this week’s energy is any sign, we’re in for a glorious bloom phase. The Roller Coster Haze journey continues , and it’s gaining speed.

Hello everybody! This week will be the hardest one. I’ll have to work a lot inside the room, and even on GD to document all the changes. Last week I topped for the last time (in reality this happened the first day of this week), and finally stopped with high stress training. From now on, our attention will fall totally on ScrOG. Day 43: Topped the 4 colas at the extremities. Red blood came out from them (see the photos). Amazing! Sorry for the bad quality, but I got just the phone with me when I did the job. When I took the second photo (a few hours later), the plant had already sucked up all the lymph. You can still see the red blood by the way. Day 44: Set the timer to start with 12/12 from midnight of day 45. Day 45: SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED TODAY. Flowering started, baby! 🤩 Today, in the evening, I worked for about 4 hours to prepare the ScrOG environment. - Improved the LST before placing the grid. - Took some photos. - Removed the humidifier. - Since my LED panel has half of the blue lights broken (this happened three weeks ago), resulting in 100W less of total potency, I added 3 new lights pointing where the panel is broken (2x 36W led bulbs and 1x 30W COB led light). I uploaded a photo and a video to better understand what I’m talking about. I even tried changing the broken LED driver, but it didn’t work, so now I’ll have to wait until the end of this cycle to send it to maintenance. - Put 20gr of BatMagno (which is bat guano), 10gr of “Farina di Neem” (Neem Flour), and 50gr of Alghe, all of them over the soil. I’ll write something about these fertilizers at the end of the comment. - 4.5L of tap water (corrected to PH6.5), which gave zero runoff. Haha, she’s drinking like a camel. - Placed the grid. - Took a few photos. - Little defoliation. - Took all the other photos. - There we go! I preferred not to add the bloom fertilizer now because I’m a little worried about overfertilizing this baby. During veg, she showed me she doesn’t like nutrients, so I’m just listening to her requests. I’ll add the bloom one as soon as she seems hungry again. By the way she’s just 20cm tall (I’m so proud of this result) and the grid is located a few centimeters above her. Let’s see if I switched to 12/12 at the right time: I heard this strain usually stretches for about 6 weeks!!! 😱😱 Let’s talk about the ferts I placed on the surface of the soil. - BatGuano: it’s a mixture of organic fertilizers of natural origin and suitable to produce a high amount of organic nitrogen and phosphorus that can be assimilated at 100%. It’s a natural slow-release fertilizer for flowering: the raw materials used (guano, dried borlanda with ammonium salts, kieserite of natural origin, flagpole, meat meal, bone meal and dried poultry) are the result of a careful selection which ensures a low salinity and a gradual transfer of the elements. The phosphorus content in BatMagno (being organic) does not undergo insolubilization. - Alghe: they are a portentose substrate activator made of a mixture of algae of the species Ascophillum, Fucales and Laminariales, obtained through a process of dehydration and grinding without the use of any chemical substance. They can be used during the preparation of the soil, and increase and strengthen the formation of the root system, mobilize the nutrients in the soil, reinvigorate the plants, protecting them from adverse weather conditions, help plants to overcome stress conditions and improve the quantity and quality of production. All of this is possible thanks to the presence of betaine, cytokinins, vitamins, auxins and alginates polysaccharides. - Farina di Neem (Neem Flour): it’s a vegetable product based on Neem seeds, obtained from the extraction of Neem Oil through a process of cold-squizzing out, which increases crops, improving both growth and flowering, as well as strengthening the roots of the plants. The Neem Flour is mixed with nitrogen fertilizers, that slow down the conversion and leaching of nitrogen. Repeated interventions improve the endogenous resistance of plants to pathogens, creating an unsuitable environment for the development of insects and cryptogams. Due to the presence of important trace elements for plant life, it prevents imbalances and nutritional disorders. It also protects plants from Nematodes, ants, insects and soil larvae. Let’s say Alghe is the most smelly product. My room now smells like seaweed! I need to figure out how to give her water now that the grid is on. I think I’ll plug a 2m pipe at the end of my watering can. That’s the most easy and cheap way to fix this problem. I just need to find the right size of the pipe. I’ll show you my solution next week.

She's 4 feet tall!!! Wow! I'm a little concerned about light burn, but don't notice any signs of light burn yet. And she will be going outdoors soon. But I'm very impressed with this girl so far! 👍

📆 Semana 9: La Auto Pablo Escobar mantiene un ritmo estable en floración. Los cogollos siguen engordando y aumentando en densidad, con una producción de resina que no deja de sorprender. Los tricomas son mayoritariamente lechosos, aunque aún se observan muchos pistilos blancos, señal de que la planta todavía tiene margen para seguir desarrollándose. El aroma se vuelve más complejo y envolvente, con notas dulces y cítricas que se intensifican día a día. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

OK so update on this fantastic fast buds strawberry pie grown under the brittish company skyline leds There skyline 1000 mk1 Using house and garden nutrients in soil at a light cycle of 20/4 This seed was simply explosive from the very slick fast buds packaging too the Soil, Flowered around week 5 or 5, And from the very first week was covered in thick frosting, These two strawberry pies where like a powertrain from then on out packing on weight and frosting giving of a very skunky sweet gas smell that took over the whole enclosed area, These where alittle sensitive too light intensity in the early stages so I recommend giving them a good supplemental light for the first 2 weeks before introducing them too there flower light, They really do like too sulk if given too much light in the first 2 weeks, But other than that no issues too report, OK so now for the important part, This frostie delight once dried and only had a very short cure so far, But I do not sell anything I produce so they can cure for 12 months if its not smoked before, But its a very sweet skunk smell with hints of fruit, And the smoke is also very clean creamy friuty ice cream in fact its so smooth and creamy that even using my large chongz glass bong most of the time is very pleasant and easy on the lungs that even a novice smoker wouldn't cough, The terpins on this girl is special and as soon as you spark your lighter your mouth comes too life with this experience that is fast buds strawberry pie, The effect is instant and intense, But the intensity is not unpleasant and is NOT one that will make you feel paranoid, I am a medical grower and coming from me that's saying Alot, The high is insane, You breath out that terpin rich smoke and almost instantly This feeling of well-being and a happy vibe sweeps over you, And you can expect too zone out for a good 40 mins staring Into space without blinking, Feeling like your whole mind body & soul has been felt too marinade in pure xtc, I highly recommend this strain too anyone, And by far one of the nicest autos I've ever experienced,
