The final week for both grapefruit by Fast Buds I have given another generous feeding of a compost tea to ensure all the microbes are at their full strength before the flushing begins next week. Both are frosting up nicely and showing a little stress from the light, bleaching the top colas and causing some foxtailing. Iโ€™ve increased tent air flow, reduced temps and will leave it at that. Trichomes ate quickly clouding up so Iโ€™m giving extra attention to time the chop right, my prediction is that it will be in the next 2 weeks. Thank you as always for taking the time to look through and read the update ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘โœŒ๏ธ

๐ŸŒธ Week 5 Flower โ€“ RollerCoaster Haze ๐ŸŒธ The RollerCoaster Haze girls are thriving in mid-flower, building structure and stacking buds at an incredible pace. Both phenos are stretching into the canopy with strength, white pistils everywhere, and flower sites developing beautifully. The plants are balanced, vibrant, and showing no signs of stress, just healthy, determined growth. ๐Ÿ’ง Nutrition & Feeding This week weโ€™ve adjusted the recipe, stopping the All-in-One Liquid completely as the soil and pellets still provide plenty of slow-release nutrition. The focus now is on a lean, targeted bloom feed, keeping the roots active without oversaturating. Current recipe (all at 1ml/L): โ€ข Aptus Regulator โ€ข Aptus CalMag Boost โ€ข Plagron Green Sensation โ€ข Plagron Sugar Royal โ€ข Plagron Power Buds Solution runs steady at pH 6.0โ€“6.1 with EC balanced to complement the soilโ€™s reserves. The results speak for themselves: stalks, roots, and leaves are thriving, and the flowers are coming on strong. Environment โ€ข Soil Temp: ~24ยฐC โ€ข Room Temp: ~28โ€“29ยฐC โ€ข Humidity: ~65% โ€ข VPD: ~1.3โ€“1.4 kPa Airflow, extraction, and monitoring keep the conditions stable. Despite the size of these girls, theyโ€™re handling the environment perfectly. ๐Ÿ’ก Inner Canopy Lighting โ€“ ICL300 This week I want to highlight the role of the ICL300 inner canopy lights. These lights are designed to deliver light where traditional overhead fixtures canโ€™t: deep inside the canopy. Why does this matter? โ€ข As plants stretch and leaves overlap, the lower branches and bud sites often receive far less light. Without supplemental lighting, these inner flowers stay smaller, less dense, and less developed. โ€ข Inner canopy lights like the ICL300 solve this by pushing photons directly into those shaded areas, ensuring the lower and middle buds get the energy they need to bulk up. Spectrum: The ICL300 units provide a balanced white spectrum with a red push, tailored to maximize flowering response while avoiding heat stress. This means not only are the tops getting stacked, the inner and lower flowers are also swelling, making for a more even, consistent harvest. The difference is visible already: the RollerCoaster Haze girls arenโ€™t just top-heavy. The mid-canopy sites are developing beautifully, with structure filling out in layers instead of just one dominant top. ๐ŸŒผ Pistils: White Hairs Everywhere At Week 5, pistils (the fine white hairs that emerge from each calyx) are one of the clearest signs of flower development. They serve two major purposes: โ€ข Reproduction: pistils are part of the female flowerโ€™s reproductive system, designed to catch pollen if itโ€™s present. โ€ข Growth indicator: the color, abundance, and orientation of pistils give us a direct look into the maturity of the flower. Some genetics push out bright white pistils, while others lean slightly toward cream, yellowish, or even orange tones earlier in bloom. This variation is completely normal and tied to the plantโ€™s lineage. At this stage, the RollerCoaster Haze girls are full of vigorous white pistils, standing tall and reaching outwards. This shows they are actively building flowers and pushing energy into new calyx formation. Itโ€™s also a reminder that this week is about observation: watching how the pistils evolve will tell us not only about maturity, but also about how each pheno expresses itself. Later on, pistils will darken and curl inward as the calyxes swell, but right now, their abundance and brightness are a clear signal of healthy, strong flowering. ๐ŸŒฑ Observations โ€ข Bud sites are stacking with strong pistil production. โ€ข Inner canopy looks healthy and productive thanks to the ICL300. โ€ข Plants remain lush, green, and full of energy. โ€ข Root systems are still vigorous, visible at the soil surface. โœจ Reflection Week 5 Flower shows how balance in nutrition, environment, and lighting can work together to create truly explosive growth. By dialing in the recipe, highlighting pistil development, and introducing inner canopy lighting, weโ€™re not only supporting the tops but ensuring that every bud site gets its chance to shine. The RollerCoaster ride continues, and these girls are carrying us higher every week. ๐Ÿ“ฒ Donโ€™t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Pictures coming soon, they will be made by my friend Bean, he studies cinematography as well. I'm excited to see his pictures. Plants are doing very well. Sun has been out and the plants have been growing. Accidentally misread the dosage of fish force but they were able to handle it. I also just received some advanced nutrients, carboload and Tarantula. It says to give tarantula at the beginning of the veg and flowering state but I was late..Still thought I would give it a try. 07/14 - All the plants have shown some kind of preflower and I think they're all girls! Been stress training the girls as well to be a bit bushier.

Flowering day 30 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Every day when I look into the tent, the sight and the smell are a dream ๐Ÿ’š. They are all developing very well. There is no tip of the leaf that looks funny at the bottom or at the top ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. They were watered every 2 days with 1.3 l each (nutrients see table above). They were all checked and checked for their health.

Fastbuds Auto Update โ€“ Week 7 One of the autos is really standing out already โ€” beautiful frosty buds forming and an amazing fruity aroma filling the space! ๐Ÿ“โœจ Itโ€™s definitely the star of the group so far. I had to switch the light schedule down to 12/12 because Iโ€™m running a shared space with my photoperiod plants. This caused a bit of a step back in their growth pace. โณ Honestly, if I had kept them at 18 hours of light, I think theyโ€™d be much closer to harvest by now. ๐ŸŒž. Still, theyโ€™re pushing through nicely, and Iโ€™m excited to see how these buds fatten up over the next weeks! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ

Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 42 since time change to 12/12 h. Hi everyone :-) The buds will certainly develop further :-). They keep getting thicker and smell more delicious :-). This week there was 3 watering with 1.2 l each time and the whole tent was cleaned. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked again. I wish you a lot of fun.

Got a little behind on the defol. but everything runnin smoothly besides that. I lost a fight wit a greenhouse and he bruised my ribs. Been gettn around a little slow. Then on top of that broke my phone again ya kno, because im retarded. That makes life difficult sumtimes. Just given em a gal of water and a recharge, coconut/aloe water mix rotated every 3 or 4 days and trying to stay out of the way. I had an issue wit the blumats so just turned it off about a week ago. Ill get around to fixen it eventually....50/50 on if thatll b during this run. Member berry grew weird but turned into a monster, purple punch is standing out and so is the wedding cake and gorilla blue. And obviously the D is lookin lovely as always. Im down to 13 because i cut a gsc. It was a long shot from the start and didnt want to risk a hermie. Cant wait to finish this run so that i can make a plan for outside. Form sum kinda ranking. How many of which plant goes where and all that. I kno...I Kno I take shitty pics๐Ÿคท

Week 13 - a cute visitor! We've had strong winds, so I made a little support net with some hemp string. Tbh, I just went with my inuition: knots here and there and strong support. Let's hope this will do the trick. Temps are lower this week but humidity is up. Sun keeps shining. This should be a good harvest. Another 10cm growth spurt. That's more than 1cm per day. I should hear her grow at this speed. Also, the leaves on this one. She really means business. It's almost a full time job to keep her in check. But I'm only here on weekends and I think she likes that. 5 days of undisturbed growth until it's time for a little leaf shedding. She's doing and looking great. I found a tiny critter enjoying some leaves, luckily my cats keep them at bay, so no damage.
