the start was kind of slow about 5 days for the seed to pop, I was kind of worried but soon after she came up. she grew short like most indicas do, she started to frost up in her 3rd week of flowering, her frost continued to coat her buds while they where getting fatter and denser. she started to smell real nice around the 4th week so if smell is a factor u will want to get a carbon filter. she is sticky and dank, real strong smell. she is not a big producer but you could increase yields by putting a net on her as well as a bigger pot, 5 gals. and let her go. I did not top her as I was unsure how this strain would re act. she grows pretty bushy around the 5th week in and you may want to defoliate in the first 2 weeks in flower. she was not much of a drinker, about every other day. the germination was good as I only popped 1 out of 3 so I have 2 more to work with later. I probably will grow this strain again as she was easy and with little effort I got a ounce of some dank dens buds. I do kick myself for not running 1 more of the seeds but I am happy with the weed I have. I have more weed today than I did the other day. big thanks @fastbuds for letting me do some testing. the fades of purple light green and yellows made my day.

Start of week 15. A little defoliation and LST training on a few branches. The grow medium has not dried out enough since last week's repotting, so no feeding at this time. Update 6/15, moved to flowering room and 12/12 light.

Day 29 – Holding Strong Indoors While Awaiting the Sun After two bright and sunny weeks, the UK weather has taken a turn—temperatures have dropped and grey skies have taken over. For the second day in a row, the plant has remained indoors on the windowsill, patiently waiting for the return of warm, sunny conditions. Despite the limited direct sunlight, the plant is showing steady vertical growth and structural development. The inter-nodal shoots are beginning to stretch confidently, and the canopy is broadening out with healthy fan leaves. It’s clear that the root zone is well-established, as no wilting signs appear and the medium remains nicely moist—no need to water for now. While it may seem like a temporary pause in outdoor activity, this rest indoors is helping the plant conserve energy and avoid potential stress from fluctuating cold and wet conditions. Once the weather stabilises again, it’ll be back to soaking up real sunshine. Observations: Location: Indoors (windowsill) due to cool outdoor temps Temperature: Noticeably lower; unsuitable for outdoor stay Soil: Moist, no watering needed Growth: Internodes extending, foliage thickening Patience remains key, and this CBD Auto 20:1 continues to impress with its resilience. Day 32 – Stretching Skyward with the Sun After a few overcast days indoors, the sun is back—and so is our CBD Auto 20:1, basking once again in full-spectrum natural light! The shift outdoors today was met with bright, clear skies and a lovely warm breeze. The plant is thriving in these ideal spring conditions, showing confident vertical growth and a strong central stem that’s gaining both height and girth. The leaf spread is wide and lush, with healthy serrated edges catching the sun from every angle. What stands out now are the multiple lower branches developing evenly—clear signs that this plant is preparing for the flowering transition in the near future. It’s rewarding to witness how much energy the plant can absorb on days like this. The outdoor environment clearly encourages a more upright and assertive growth posture compared to the last couple of indoor days under diffused windowsill light. Observations: Light: Full sun exposure, ~7 hours direct sunlight expected Development: Lower branches maturing, stem thickening, leaf canopy expanding Mood: Energised, reaching, vibrant We’re now well into the vegetative peak, and the structure is shaping up beautifully. Let’s hope this weather holds—it’s perfect for what comes next. Day 34 – First signs of flowering! We’ve entered a new chapter—today marks the visible appearance of pistils, signalling the official start of flowering! This beautiful CBD Auto 20:1 from 420FastBuds.com has been developing steadily, and it’s been an exciting journey transitioning it from indoor windowsill care to full outdoor exposure. Last night’s rain disrupted my plans to leave the plant outside overnight, but perhaps that was a blessing in disguise—timing and adaptation still matter. Today, however, the sun is back in full swing, delivering strong warmth and excellent light. The super soil is doing its job wonderfully, holding moisture and nutrients efficiently. The plant is clearly enjoying the rhythm of nature. Growth has stretched upwards significantly since the last few days, and side branches are expanding too. Unlike in a tent where watering might happen every 1–2 days, this outdoor grow has taught me the art of patience—watering is done only when the soil truly dries out, which depends on weather, sun, wind, and positioning. Huge thanks to 420 Fast Buds for this amazing strain—resilient, beautiful, and rich in promise. Can’t wait to see what the next days bring! Day 35 – Settling Under the Open Sky This CBD Auto 20:1 lady has now officially begun spending her nights outside under the open sky. So far, I haven’t felt the need to cover her, and she’s handling the shifting weather conditions with impressive resilience. Some nights are slightly cooler, but the days bring back that familiar warmth – and she clearly loves it. Her structure is becoming more defined, with side branches now fully visible and stretching confidently towards the light. Since she’s grown outdoors from the beginning, the natural rhythm of sun and wind has made her strong, well-adapted, and noticeably more robust than my previous indoor tent grows. It’s truly fascinating how dynamic and engaging outdoor growing can be. There’s a deeper connection to the process – monitoring the skies, respecting nature’s timing, and witnessing each subtle change. Plus, it’s certainly a more economical setup! The pistils are now popping with greater clarity, signalling the transition into flowering. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch her shift gears and get ready for her next stage of development. My super soil continues to do all the heavy lifting – no feeding schedule, just pH-balanced water when the topsoil is dry, which depends entirely on whether she’s basking outside or sitting in the shade indoors. Massive thanks to 420FastBuds for this incredibly vigorous and well-adapted strain. She’s growing with confidence, and I can’t wait to see how she flowers under these natural conditions. Let’s keep the rhythm going – one sunny day at a time!

77 days, for some reason, the girl is growing without me :( the vacation was unexpectedly long, I only managed to get these photos, I'll be back to see them next week on Tuesday, I think it might be harvest day :).

Day 88 – Botanical Simplicity, Natural Strength 🌿🌞 The journey of this plant continues to unfold as a true outdoor minimalist grow. With nothing but sun, air, and a single black fabric pot nested in a white bucket, she has proven the power of natural light and biological momentum. After thriving through the UK’s recent heat wave and absorbing up to 2000 μmol/m²/s of sunlight, her structure has matured into a strong, well-formed canopy with vigorous apical dominance and defined lateral colas. Her lush green leaves show excellent health overall, though some lower yellowing is now visible — an expected and natural sign as she redirects energy into flower production. The Bat Guano top-dressing from 08.06 seems to have fueled the transition into mid-flower with solid nitrogen-phosphorus support. Bud development is now advancing daily with visibly expanding calyx clusters and well-stacked nodes. This diary is not about chasing perfection — it’s a living testament to how far you can get by trusting the rhythm of the elements. No boosters, no artificial lighting, no stress. Just patience, observation, and a little care. Nature grows. We observe. 🌱📓

Not my strongest specimen but hopefully she will strengthen over time

🍌 banana strawberry 🍓,continuo controllando cada día. Ma non ci sono più fiori maschi...bene meglio così..La porto a maturazione verificando che non produca nessun altro fiorellino maschio..ma a questo punto penso non faccia più altri fiori.la fortuna è che non sono cresciuti i fiori maschi dentro le cime dentro ai fiori femmina,altrimenti la avrei dovuta togliere completamente o tenerla per fare qualche seme femminizzato😁😂😉

Sorry for the late video post.. I was assaulted and 2 of my 23 year old cats passed away 2 days ago.. So it's been a rough few weeks. Transplanted and flipped to 12/12 6-18-2020

Another great week, saw some great bud production and stacking. All great signs of a good yield. Increased the bloom nutrients to accommodate the plants demands during this intense growth spurt, while making sure they are balanced with a straight phd water feed to help break up any deposits that may be accumulating. When I use just water, I’ll water until I see about a 15% runoff, and test the ph of the runoff, should be within your 5.8-6.3 range. I’ve got lots of airflow keeping things moving to help prevent PM and pests. After every feed, I’ll spray a mixture of water, a drop or two of dish soap, and some type of essential oil, around the base of the pots and tent basin as part of my pest management/protection. I have yet to have any type of pests, despite growing in an unfinished basement situation. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️👊

Day 85. Girls looked ok till i saw budrot !!! Sunset Sherbet went to bin. Was biggest from all ... on last visit i saw bird poop on her, maybe its aftermath of nute burn ... ;))))) Apples looks very long and stretchy by bud structure, in other words more bubble hash plant than for smoking. Purple is going nice and steady, just no purple colours ;)))))) Overall girls can go without care, but results will be small, they needed better light , forest overtook surroundings, needs good clean up, but its not my land ;))) Think 20-30 g each is around what i will get from rest. Happy Growing !!!

3-25 Only gave her 5ml cal/mag and 1.5ml drops of balance. Runoff 850 ph 7.0. See whats going on by next. She still shining 😁🤘 3-28 3ml cal/mag, 1.5 ml drops of balance and 1.5 ml slf-100. Ph 5.9 ppm 115 6 liters water. She looks good since last water so a really lite cal/mag. Again, see how she do. Runoff .

Cold and rainy week, they are growing good though still. Like this strain. Sprayed with CannaCure

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle will turn out. Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle (Grape Crinkle x Sour Crack) Two of our fastest and frostiest varieties collide to make a sweet and sour delight! Expect super frosty, compact nugs that won't be a toke for novices. Destined to be a great strain for extraction work too! Plant size - Small - Medium Cycle time - 60-65 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 80/20 Frost level - Extra Ridiculous https://www.mephistogenetics.com/product-page/illuminauto-21-sour-crinkle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-25. Week 5 starts. Added a video of the girls. Gave the girl water and nutrients. This girl is 27 cm high and have grown 7 cm in 7 days. I flushed the girl yesterday with 40 liters of tap water. Im lowering the humidity in the room with a dehumidifier and try to have 50% air humidity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-29. Installation of the New light rail in the grow room. Its Advanced star light V 5.0. Added a video of it.

So far i feel like the plants have all decent health, for one of them i build a little think to stand on because its 10-15 cm smaller in height so that it would have the same height than the others and gets enough light for sure. I defoliatet completly i think by now, and i will just let buds develop from now Im so curious how it evolves during the next few weeks

25/07/25: Another week in the books, and the ladies are progressing—slowly but surely. Bud development is moving along, though the cool and cloudy German "summer" isn't exactly speeding things up. Fingers crossed for a bit more sunshine in august to help ripen those buds and add some extra weight before harvest!🤞🏼☀️ Other than that, not much to report this week—no major changes or issues. Just letting nature do it's thing! 🌿

Aquí dejo imágenes de la segunda semana! He estado un poco liado y se me ha pasado! Mañana actualizaré también la 3ª semana que ya mañana arrancamos la 4ª y no van nada mal!! La bolsa de CO2 THE EXHALE está cumpliendo y en si todos los parámetros del cultivo hasta el momento se están cumpliendo, ya os iré contando!!

Wow I've been growing dinafem since I first started and this strain doesn't disapoint at all it's a very hardy plant . The girl took off so fast when I transplanted her into the new pot . She stinks like that gorilla glue smell all ready when you run the stem down with your fingers . I'm glad I got this freebie with an order I did last year and now I can't wait to see how this girl is going to do in the next week . The LST training has been paying off and I'm so anxious for next week ..cheers canna family ...

Growing well this week!
