My Alien was not a tall girl. but she didn't care. She did her own thing her own way. Looks like her way might have been a pretty good way, my scissors were gunked up almost immediately 😃 And I must say that she was an easy one to trim, took care of it myself in less than an hour. I'm looking forward to this one, smells kinda spicy almost 👽 SMOKE REVIEW This is some tasty stony stuff! The yield was small, hey that happens, but the important part is this is some very nice smoke! Smoothest I've had in quite some time, even with minimal cure time. Good stuff 😎

It’s so warm today! Of course I pulled all my plants out to spray with spinosad and feed/water. ********* I use a Hudson 2L sprayer. My partner used to work in the film industry and they found this brand of sprayer gets the most thorough even coverage for makeup or whatever movie magic they use sprayers to create. It’s great. ********* The larger gorilla glue has come around but I lost a few nodes. I’m seeing a little PMD, but I’ve been knocking it back when baking soda and water. I’ve been taking scalps, defoliating the big one gently and the little ones need almost daily lollipopping. I’m watching my ph and using more cal mag. I definitely feel like they are two different phenotypes.I have them on individual diets. ********** Some fungal gnats come with the humidity so I topdressed with gnat nix. I don’t believe I overwater so I hope that’s the solution! I think I may wait another week or two and get things more stable before moving to flower. I will update video tomorrow when I have access to faster upload speeds. ********** Added videos!

Alle sehen sehr gesund aus. Wachsen wie sie sollen und fangen langsam an herrlich zu duften. Mainlineing und toppen habe sie sehr gut weggesteckt, aber bei den Genetiken von @fastbuds ist es auch kein Wunder. Wir sind gespannt wie es weiter geht.

Day 35: Well switched over this week to my bloom nutes. My previous watering I had mentioned I used SledgeHammer just to wash out the residues from my grow nutes. She actually seemed to take that well and watered her today to kick off week 5. Really starting to have her own smell and its already smelling awesome. Can't wait to see this lady start to pick up some weight. 🙌 Day 38: This lady is just stacking up man and the most beautiful colors are shining thru def gonna be a low yield but for me the quality is always better than quantity 👌 ✨

Day 65 . Girls love theirs shitty life ;))) Looks everything fine, they started to smell really berry , time to put air filter on. The only toped and most delayed girl is showing super results, you can check her size on week 4. Its crazy what upside down plant delivered. Good i left her and always hoped that she will be special .. Day 66. And its friday 13 ;))) I see that late FastDiesel is way behind, so i made it even worse ;)) i stripped her hard, just to know how this strain reacts. All other girls are way upfront and for some it would be second round of defoliation in flower, but they never tried it and its just to late to experiment with all of them. After two hours she still hates it. Fast Diesel really loves CalMag, on day 67 all girls will get CalMag + Molasses mix, for some girls it will be last CalMag i think. They will have a heavy feed aswell. Planing on day 69-70. Thats all action and plans for this week. All girls got striped a bit on day 66 and changed left with right . Thinking new possition will light up other buds, maybe flower will develop more evenly... Looks like thats it, hope no budrot, thats my only fear .... And i forgot to make earliest Tangie photo, but she was always in front at the entrance and she is nothing special, looks like too leafy bud phenotype, the only plus, i hope she will be choped this year. Day 67. Morning, girls still not thursty, they drink pure ph water slowest from all mixes. Defoliated girl prays like nothing happend, she should make long colas ;) just in february i quess ;))) Way too long run with autos, i was hoping to flush by now ... Wont make it with two waterings this week. Its a first week for them without nute boost. Will reduce a bit amount, was feeding almost 2 liters per pot, thinking to go back to 1.5-1.7 area and stop giving silica and cal mag mix. So feed will be in 3 steps from now 1. Heavy feed 2. Ph Water 3. Molasses and calmag mix Day 67. Late Eve. They are finally light, maybe i will make feeding on tuesday, right at the end of week, today calmag and molasses mix. Raised 3 pots, girls should love more light, now have more even canopy. Everytime i say thats it , but after pot raise i dont see what can i do more with them... Toped tangie looks having some bleaching on top cola, raised lights half inch ;)) Day 70. Heavy feed day. They look happy and fatten a bit. End of week Next run if i ever do autos i will check #FastBuds beans, from all diaries this house make it super fast.

Week 20 marks a transition phase for the Pineapple Upside Down, and the plant is now one full week into her new environment. The light cycle remains unchanged at 12 hours, and nutrition stayed stable. However, the major shift this week was the move from a 5000K veg light to a 3500K full-spectrum panel. This immediately triggered a visible reaction: the leaves, previously flat and perfectly extended, curled downward, showing a clear photonic stress response. Structurally, the plant is beginning to adapt. The earlier LST work is starting to show again: the tops are lifting toward the light, suggesting that she is reorienting herself and gradually regaining balance. Externally, the structure indicates a slow recovery, even though internal metabolic adjustment to the new spectrum will take more time. All environmental parameters were intentionally kept constant: – PPFD maintained at 550 after a 72-hour acclimation at 300 PPFD, – Temperature around 23°C, – Relative humidity near 70%, – No changes in nutrient formulation. This week’s focus was stabilization rather than growth. Given the current signs — partial recovery of the tops while the leaves still show stress — the plant will not be flipped to flower until she demonstrates a clear return of vigor. The upcoming week will be key. If the foliage regains posture and the stress diminishes, the transition to flowering can be considered. Until then, the approach remains minimal: no corrections, no boosters, only patience and consistency. Week 20 closes on a cautious yet optimistic note. The plant is stressed but responsive. The next phase will determine whether she fully adapts to her new 3500K full-spectrum environment.” Peace,,,

Day 32: Autoflowers are showing signs of flowering. They are showing pistils. A little concerned about space. Especially considering I'm gonna veg 90+ days on the 707 Headband.

Day 21 she just got low stress trained so the light can reach more areas. Super excited to have her growing and being beautiful. Some of my favorite smoke around. Very impressed.

Tag 35: Den Pflanzen geht es prächtig, wir hatten viel Regen und es ist nicht mehr so warm. Beide Pflanzen haben das LST ung scroggen gut überstanden. Teilweise ist mir dabei eine Pflanze gebrochen und sie ist trotzdem normal weitergewachsen.

This week things have stabilised a bit, my bigger humidifier came on D26, so hopefully that will help slow transpiration a little! Not really much to report, plants are growing okay, one of them is still struggling a bit, they’ve all been topped for the second time. As I have one plant per 4ft sq, I think I might only mainline to 4 mains, haven’t decided yet! Have bought a Torus Hydro PH balancer, will see if that helps with the PH swings going forward 🧐 Happy growing guys!

Added yellow sticky fly traps to all cubes as a preventative measure to avoid infestation of fungus gnats. So far none have been spotted. Defoliated and did a little more LST to all the plants to open up the center and give more light to lower shoots. Blue Dream 3 and Chemdawg 3 started showing some discoloration on the leaves (yellowing around the veins) and also the leaf tips curling down. Did some research and came up with this... Possible diagnosis: - Yellowing around leaf veins could be a sign of Magnesium or Iron deficiency - Leaf tip curling down could be a sign of Nitrogen Toxicity. - Both could be caused by improper ph balance in water Possible solutions: - Applied Botanicare CalMag+ as a foliar feed and added some to the reservoir. CalMag+ contains Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. - Diluted nutrients in reservoir to lower amount of nitrogen being fed to plants. Was feeding them at 1300ppm, lowered it to 1050ppm - Tested runoff and saw it was coming out at 5.4pH so I increased the pH in the reservoir to 6.0. Now the runnoff is testing at 5.7pH, meaning that my rootzone is in the optimal range of 5.5-5.8 Well wait and see how the plants react to these slight tweaks. Hopefully we start to see a nice healthy even green again.

10/28 - Pushing this update three days early since much has changed. Did a solution change earlier today to the new mix (as noted) which settled in about 740ppm (570ppm nutrients, 1.14ec + tap). After approximately eight hours (including a dark cycle), she registered 720ppm, but we will see how she swings over the next few days. The other lady in the video was given the same nutrient solution at the same time and is now showing some dark buildup on her roots that this Amnesia XXL Auto doesn't have. Her growth has been fantastic so far and she is responding well to the nutrients. I am excited to see how this goes considering this is my first DWC run and first run with Dyna Gro. Any comments, questions, observations, or concerns are always welcome. Happy Growing! Edit: 10/29 - Added 2ml/gal Botanicare Hydroguard as a preventative for any potential root issues. Edit: 10/31 - Removed two large fan leaves that were actively shading new growth nodes. PPMs have slowly climbed up to 750. Lowered to 700 with pH'ed water. Added second Mars Hydro SP150 and raised to 18" above canopy.

June 29: looking good at the start of a new week. Hot again and risk of thunderstorms so the plants are up against the house tonight. Plant has reached lowest of three rungs on the tomato cage and I’m trying to get a few colas to go around on the outside. July 1: Happy Canada Day. Warm again today with a risk of thunderstorms. July 2: cool today (about 12 C high) so watered with 27 C water in morning to help keep things growing. Also topped fourth time to make the 16 cola manifold. This is the best way to shape photoperiod plants…all the work is up front and it produces nice uniform buds that are easy to process during harvest. Two stems on the piece that broke are healthy but smaller than the others. Should even out with time. Watered with full nutrient mix. July 5: looks good. I was gone for a couple of days after the last round of topping and just noticed today that I had done seven and had missed one which has now been dealt with.

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) All three of these plants are progressing nicely. The shortie is a little behind her sisters in terms of ripeness, but her buds are developing well. It rained for most for the day....again...😣 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: Rained again tonight.. I had to pick up a couple of them while removing a couple of other plants, and they are still heavy. I might be able to wait until Monday to feed again, which might be enough time for me to get the RH back down a little bit. 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

Week 2 has had some explosive root growth! As soon as they got enough roots in the solution, you can tell from the color they are eating well and they are really starting to pick up some growth on top. Trying to get the VPD dialed in during the day, with the dehumidifier running at night to keep the humidity in check with lights out. It seems to be successful so far.
