So I’ve got a fungus gnats problem. Humidity is under control finally. One of the girls is being flushed currently I ran 15g through her 5g pot . Two other girls are close to where I want them to before I flush I’m waiting for the buds to become dense still. 3 of the girls are finally fattening up the additional liquid amendments I’ve started feeding have certainly helped . I’m still racing against time in one way or the other but I have gained a wealth of experience & have formulated new methods to try in order to get the best results from my style of growing . The liquid amendments I’m feeding are indeed organic still so no worries 😉 there . I’m waiting for my yellow sticky traps & rounding out this grow in these next few weeks . Depending on how long this first girl takes to flush I’ll begin by harvesting 2 plant in a week or 2. I’m kind of tapped out on this whole posting thing I really was tempted to wait until harvest to do an update . But this is a good journal for me just the same as it is for anywho who stops by so for that reason I’m going to try to stay with it until the end . Another week on the GreeneScene in the books 📚 rounded out .

Day 48: - Shuffle some plants again to give them better spots. - Did defoliate again to make sure the lights can reach lower buds. Photos and videos where taken before watering, thats why the leafs are not lifted. Nothing special this week. see you guys next week.

Week 12 (14-4 to 20-4) 14-4 Temps: 20.5 to 24.5 degrees Humidity: 52% to 65% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 0.4 Did a big defoliation today. Leaves removed #1: 180gr #2: 199gr 15-4 Temps: 20.1 to 26.1 degrees Humidity: 57% to 64% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 1.5 16-4 Temps: 20.4 to 25 degrees Humidity: 57% to 64% Watering #1: 1000 ml. EC: 0.4 17-4 Temps: 19 to 24.1 degrees Humidity: 55% to 63% 18-4 Temps: 19.4 to 24.4 degrees Humidity: 53% to 60% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 0.4 19-4 Temps: 18.4 to 23.5 degrees Humidity: 54% to 64% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 0.4 20-4 Temps: 18.5 to 24.3 degrees Humidity: 54% to 62% Watering #1: 1000 ml. EC: 0.4 The light is at 60% strength with a distance of 45 cm. Defoliated the #1 a bit, she is quite a bushy plant. I raised both plants a bit so the canopy of the 4 plants inside the tent is nice and even.

Nothing new to report, plants are growing well. I'm giving the plants filtered water at ph 6.0. I don't know the PH of my soil or my run off etc. This is my first grow so I'm not too far into the weeds (pun intended) on the PPM and those particular factors.

Blütewoche 5 läuft ohne Probleme. Die Buds werden schnell schwerer. Muss mir wahrscheinlich bald Gedanken machen sie zu stützen.

9/27 - start day 43 - So, the other day, I tried running the thing sealed at 1100-1500 ppm and temps got to 95 with RH at 75% and the walls were straight sweating nuts....dripping...puddles.... that tiny dehumidifier wasn't doing jack. Since, I have managed to tap into the central ac with some makeshift ducting, which now supplies my spot with a nice cool, dry breeze every so often. With this, I have managed to maintain a temp of 88-91 with a RH of 37-50% at 750-950 ppm. I can keep the 750-950 ppm with a flow rate of about 1 cfh, which only goes off roughly 10 minutes every hour. probably will try it and run the temps a little high. ya, can't seem to stay consistent. i swear, it'll stay at that ppm after it all leaks out and the surrounding room is sitting at the same ppm maybe, lol … should probably drop temps and the co2, but hey, might as well gas em out while its there …. hey, maybe they'll return the favor and gas me out after harvest😁 that little square light looks like it should be lighting a lizards cage or some shit …. I swear the thing probably only pulls 30 watts, if im lucky. It didn't come with a book or directions or any type of specifications.... said 3000 watts,....id give it 30. If that's the case, im banking on the other 2 lights to cover that little red spot. Oh, and those little side lighting things suck. the stupid remote/timer thing is ….. garbage timer thing 9/28 - 44 - I tossed a HID in there for a bit for the hell of it....I really wasn't digging the "reptile light", but its still in there. I went ahead and tossed a window ac unit in my "window". it was again TOO warm with the HID cooltube and all. Was hangin around 94-97 degrees!!!! ac there, now I need to make some makeshift ductingand vent the ac exhaust outside

Beginning of week.. I went up a tad on the nutes today.. And went down on the light power last week.. It was about 65% - 70% power which was quite a bit, I guess.. I put it at 50% power and she is finally starting to get some height to her.. I noticed more pistils toward the very top. I really hope she doesn't start flowering too soon.. I'd like to get some LST done on her. But she is happy and healthy! Next day... Even more pistils! Its been awhile since I grew an auto.. So I kinda forgot how early pistils can start poppin out but still be in veg (preflower). I just really wanna turn this girl into a flat bush! 10 mins later... Ok.. So looking back at my other autos.. This is pretty typical for them to start showing preflower this early.. She should still have 2 or 3 more weeks of veg with preflower! Mid week.. This is a day early.. But close enough.. 3rd week and growth is beginning to explode! The very first node's branches aren't really doing much.. Plus they are damn near to the ground.. I'm wondering if I should just remove them.. Maybe not yet.. But soon.. Or when I finally apply some LST. She is doing great!... No deficiencies.. No excesses.. Autoflowers are a trip! Can't wait to see what she looks like in another 7 days! I wanna try to do the entire grow without removing much, if anything.. But if this bottom branch doesnt start doing something.. I'm gonna have to remove it.. Its just bothering me way too much lol. Actually mid week.. SoI have been noticing a little bit of clawing and darkness.. BUT ONLY on the new growth.. As the leaves get older they seem to straighten out and lighten up a bit.. But I'm pretty sure it's nitrogen toxicity.. So I went down from .66mL/L to .33mL/L.. I use 3L to water daily.. So basically 1mL per feeding of all the base nutrients and the CalMag.. The Floralicious Plus has a bit of nitrogen too so I went down a tad on that as well. I read someone else's grow that says these girls are a bit sensitive to nitrogen.. So that's where I'm at now. Flushed this morning, and now for a small feed tomorrow morning. Will be updating with pics at the end of this week. Later that night.. Went ahead and flushed with just 2L of pH'd water.. Going in - pH: 6.3 PPM: 240.. Runoff - pH: 6.1 PPM: 640... So the PPM is still a bit high, but during the feed tomorrow, it should go down some still.. I should have ALOT of runoff tomorrow. I had the same amount I normally do when I use 3L just from these 2L.. Just cuz its 12 hours early.. The medium was still nice and moist.. And will still be in the AM for the next fertigation. Next day... Waking up this morning, I found that the oldest set of leaves that had been clawed cleared up.. For the most part.. Still dark asf.. But not as much clawing..the newest set were still clawed tho.. Which is understandable.. I made 3L of nutes.. Only used 2L in the AM.. Going in pH: 6.3.. PPM: 420... Runoff pH: 6.2.. PPM: 480... Not bad.. And I still have 1L left over which I am going to have to give her later today.. And will update with the runoff info also. Some say not to worry about the runoff pH.. But I think that is only because when people see it really low, they tend to give make the nutes waaay too high in order to combat the low runoff.. I just make my nutes 6.5 till ai see the runoff coming out at the area that works best for my grows.. Which is 6.2 or 6.3.. Let me explain why I use 6.2 to 6.3... My first 2 grows in coco I was using 5.8 to 6.0.. It worked well in veg but it was only during the transition and beginning of flower that I had calcium defeciency.. GWE website said that in hydroponics/coco that calcium is best absorbed at 6.3 or so.. So ever since I've just ran my girls at 6.2 or 6.3.. No lower, no higher.. The entire grow.. And haven't had any issues with deficiencies since! So that is MY sweet spot.. I may let it drift to 6.1 or 6.4.. But I try not to, for the most part. Later that night... I went ahead and did 1L of pH'd water first.. Then did the 1L of nutrient water.. Runoff came out at 420 PPM 6.2 pH... Nice... Also, I went ahead and ponytailed the top and pulled some of the longer branches on top of the fan leaves.. I'm only going to keep it ponytailed for the rest of the day (6 hours left of lights on).. Never tried this before, but with these super fat indica leaves blocking literally every branch.. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. I may do it for another 6 hours tomorrow.. But I havent thought that far into it yet. I just want her and her branches to be long enough to begin some LST by the beginning of next week.. And already more than halfway through this week. Happy with the way things are going, for the most part... Almost end of week.. Ponytailed her again for another 6 hours this morning.. Just trying to give the side branches a little head start before the LST next week. End of week.. Welp.. I couldn't wait one more day to apply some LST.. I went ahead and did it today.. I also removed the bottom node, leaves and branches.. They were weak branches and I figured I could get them to take root and breed some seeds with them using Collidail Silver method! I really like how these branches have grown on this girl! It's like they already grew into a lollipop!!! Still only using the light at 50% power.. Which is helping keep the temps down a bit... Niceeee... I haven't defoliated anything (except the bottom node due to very weak branches and horrible looking leaves.. Which I'm guessing is because they were so low, possibly getting nutrient water on them during watering) but again, cloning those to breed with! She has completely exploded this week! Very happy with this girl! On to the next week!!!...

She survived a couple of very warm days 🔥(32°C). She also started to get burned tips on the bigger fan leaves and the lower leaves started to die so I used some more nutes. Seems to be solved now. Watered with 2l(nutes), 1,5l(no nutes) and 2l(nutes). She is starting to smell very loud 🤤, because flowering has started. Hoping she stretches a bit more tho🙏

Still flushing.

The buds on this girl are growing slow do too all the stress she has been thru. I plan to keep this girl in the ground for at least another 3 weeks. We had some crappy weather this week, lots of rain and high humidity. The buds are not that dense yet so I'm not too worried yet but there is more rain in the forecast fort next week. I'm gave her some nutrients as I did the last 3 weeks, There are so many leafs on this plant it's crazy. I have grown 7 plants outdoors now and I have never had one this big so so cropping, trimming and supportiing has been a learning curve. I put some wax in the big crack at the base that you at see in last weeks pictures but not before a bunch of potato bugs found there ways in there which has me very concerned. This plant may end up being used for extracts only but I hope not .

Flipmode! Went and got a grow tent and flipped the Green Crack and her sisters to 12/12. Running my old mars-hydro light for this flowering run, until I have the $ saved for a new Samsung strip build. Removed the largest fan leaves from GC, other than that she's looking happy. Thanks for looking! 👽🌳

12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍 The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season.

Getting ready🙃 this guy must be glue gellato, but i dont know why its purple. Something gone wrong or mby there was mistake and i took a wrong seed. Mby its purple punch. Or what do you think? Its massive with strong and big buds. Cant wait to smoke it. Smell is nice 💪

Monday 29th!!! So this diary is again late and only allowed too add a few images which are mix match, How upsetting 👎 annoying at the least... I've been trying since repotting these girls on monday too upload yet constantly saying resizing photo no matter which folder I upload from so I appolagize. I will try too upload and update this week but if continues will create a new diary and try that way 🤷‍♂️ So as if it were monday 29th I transplanted all the fastbuds testers into their final pots and I have 2 of each whichever I'm very happy with and the other 3 seems slightly slower but still here 🌱 They are now being fed shogun nutrients and hopefully this week they settle in and get comfy ready too begin their vegative journey 👌 I will feed lightly and all girls will start some form of lst next week Hopefully I can update this week properly soon as I like too recap myself as it helps keeping log of what I've been doing 🙄 Shouts too aptus Holland nutrients I gained great roots ready for transplant using their startbooster & regulator which I'll be continuing too use too start of all my seeds/seedlings in future 💪 thank you aptus! 💚 Growers love, stay blessed 💚

Good progress this week. Pistils changing colour nicely. Just waiting for the trichomes to go milky then it's chop time.
