Day 50 - Started week 8 with a nice drink of water and nutes today. She’s definitely a fat a bushy girl and looking like she’s finally starting to kind of bud up a little bit on the top. I’d really like to do a heavy defoliation but don’t want to do anything to screw this grow up. She’s looking like she’s gonna be a hefty beast when all is said and done. I just placed her back in the tent and tucked everything as much as I could. Day 51 - Everything’s still looking good and stretched another inch in the last 24 hours. She’s a very bushy plant and a shit ton of bud sites so I went ahead and clipped off a couple of the lower branches trying to develop that are just not getting to the lights. Day 52 - Not much to say right now, nothing much going on. She’s definitely gonna need some water tomorrow or Saturday. So I just took her out today to give her a once over and placed her back into the tent and retucked the leaves. Day 54 - She’s still chugging along and still stretching quite a bit each day. She was pretty dry today and definitely ready for some water and nutes. On advice from a friend, I added some molasses to the water as well, so we’ll see what it does for her. I’m ready for her to really start budding up but she’s not quite there yet. Day 55 - Nothing much new for this girl today. Just took her out and removed a couple of fan leaves and put her back in the tent and tucked the leaves again. Day 56 - The end of week 8 and can definitely tell this will be a longer grow than I’ve been used to. She’s drinking the water and nutes like a fish so will be giving her more tomorrow to keep her growing. She’s still stretching quite a bit, over and inch the last 24 hours.

Might be experiencing some nute lockout I'll dial back the nutes even more to flush, flush, feed. Watering daily, the medium drys out almost completely every 26hrs and then she wilts. Lots of air flow in this setup with a fiber pot so just trying to keep it wet really. 1000w HPS is amazing in this small of space I could get 2 or three plants in here next time.

This week has been all about maturation. I’ve been watering only with plain water, starting the flush to clean the roots before harvest. The buds are looking dense and compact, covered in a nice layer of trichomes that keep getting frostier day by day. The lower leaves are yellowing, which is normal at this stage since the plant is using up the remaining nutrients stored in the foliage. Trichomes are mostly clear with some turning milky, so I think she will be ready for harvest in about a week. Overall, the plant looks healthy and stable, with tight bud formation and a great aroma coming out. Even though she stayed quite small, she’s packing some nice, solid flowers. Watering: only water (about 600 ml)Environment: stable and controlled Stage: late flowering / flushing phase Next: monitor trichomes daily and prepare for harvest

Day 6 update - adjusted tie down points and watered. Still no pests and no other significant signs of stress. They ladies are happy and healthy. Day 3 update - Two of the plants have started transitioning into flower. Next week BB1 and BB3 will be dubbed in flower. BB2 pheno is strange I just can't quite tell if it's even in flower... it's lanky and strange. Temps have been steady and now that the heat in the home is on I have to watch heat stress again. BB3 has recovered fully now with new growth looking absolutely perfect. No problems with pests or anything else at the moment. ....Previously.... (day 7 of week 3 - day 1 week 4) One feeding of baking soda to raise the PH of the soil. I decided to tie the girls down the last day of week 3. The topped plant (Bb2) looks more like the strain should than the other 2 phenotypes according to pictures. But the BB1 pheno is so bushy it will be a bigger yeilder for sure. The Bb3 pheno has recovered a bit we will see if the baking soda addition to the top watering helps rebound her better. Selective defoliation was done on all 3 phenos with some under growth getting removed and a couple target fan leaves blocking prime budsites.

Plants continued to mature this week and all the buds are getting fat they will have there last nutrient feed this week in prep for flushing and harvest next week. The Lemon Zkittles looks and smells amazing looks amazing. Nearly all the plants look and smell the small, good genetics and breading. The Cxx is again a very stable genetics and flowered and smells exactly as the last grow did. Good genetics. The Peyote Cookies and Shishkaberry also grew well and similar, good genetics. Afghan Kush amazing buds and very earthy smell.classic The gorilla cookies had a rather large variation in pheno types but all look amazing and each will be a pleasure to smoke.

January 16, 2019 Everything is moving along nicely now. The last Blackberry is just about done. This week I fed some some Espoma Organic Bloom (available at most big box stores). I’ve had it kicking around since last season and figured I should use it up before it goes bad. I’m looking into more organic nutrient options for the future. I’m not sure I’m ready to start making my own organic compost teas yet. But BioBizz seems like they will take care of what I’m looking to accomplish without needing to make my own teas (fingers crossed). I removed the house plant that brought in the bugs and everything is back to normal now, no new bug damage. I finally received and read “True Living Organics” by The Rev. Its a good book, but growing the “TLO” way is vastly different from other growing methods I’ve read. I’m going to have to read this one again before making any comments. Thanks to all of the answers on CO2. Seems like its more valuable with larger setups than I’m running.

Day 15 since seed touched soil. Ducks are very very very slow to develop. Maybe slowest strain i ever grew. Most look nitrogen overfed , dont want to grow at all ... Will be forced to leave them for one more week at home. Other strain goes out this friday . Autumn not far ... Not a big hope with this one ;))) Day 19. They went out !!! Hope summer is long .... Happy Growing !!!

ready to chop

12.09.2023 Tag 52 - Woche 8 / Tag 3 Licht: 45cm – 80% Lichtzyklus: 18/6 Luftfeuchte: 58% Temperatur: 26°C VPD: 1.4 kPa Bemerkungen: Höhe Apricot: 46cm Höhe Watermelon: 34cm Es gab ein paar Probleme mit dem Mischungsverhältnis, aus dem die viel zu zeitige Blüte der Wassermelone und guter N Stress bei beiden Damen hervor ging. Insgesamt haben die Beiden das Alles aber gut überstanden und hauen nun dicke Nuggets raus. Ich gieße täglich gut 2 Liter H2O an die Damen und genieße ihren Duft nach Feierabend. 😍 Es gibt mehr Updates die Woche. ########################################################################################################################################################################################################## 15.09.2023 Tag 55 - Woche 8 / Tag 6 Licht: 40cm – 80% Lichtzyklus: 18/6 Luftfeuchte: 60% Temperatur: 27°C VPD: 1.5 kPa Bemerkungen: Ich habe es ein wenig mit dem Wasser übertrieben. Die Wassermelone zeigt Anzeichen von Überwässerung (könnte auch N sein). Aber nur wenig, deswegen mache ich mir keine Sorgen. Freunde, es geht weiter mit dem großen Wachsen. Es gibt einen Neuankömmling im Zelt. Ich weiß noch nicht, ob es ein Tagebuch geben wird, aber die Dame wird zumindest immer wieder Gastauftritte haben... und es wird eine sehr schöne Dame werden... FastBuds Crystal Meth. Terp 💪😎

They are moving quickly these days! I’m using FF nutrients, then just water, then a mixture of molasses, recharge, and epsom salt, and then water again. Not sure if I’m overdoing it but they seem happy.

This was a real fun strain !! Definitely do it over and over again ! Thank you Fastbuds!! I’m not sure of the weight yet ,I have them hanging low an slow for 12- 14 days to try then will be trim , cure , the fun stuff!✌️Peace, love, and Positive Vibes to y’all cheers 🔥😤💨💨💨💨🤙 I will be letting know the final weight soon as it’s done drying!

5/27/22: - Today makes 4 weeks since sprouting! 5/30/22: - Transplanted today into an earthbox with 14ft Build a Soil 3.0 Recipe. Have a light watering as well. Added Mykos to the transplant hole. 5/31/22: - did some training to bend branches to get lower nodes some light and to level out canopy before adding trellis net. 6/1/22: - Gave a foliar spray today with Build A Soil Quillaja Wetting agent, Horticultural Aloe and Horticultural Coconut - Top dressed with silica, craft blend, worm castings and kashi blend. All from build a soil 6/2/22: - filled up the earthbox resovoir for the first time today. - increased light to 90% ppfd around 500ish

The last 100 meters shallow hahaha. The vegetative growth and bud formation are good I believe we will have at most 15 more days for plants # B1 # B2 # B4 # B5. Plant # B3 has small white pistils and, due to its structure, there is no way for it to be a photoperiod so it will have more days than its sisters. **UPDATE: B3 finally starting flowering with 66 Days ***UPDATE: 68Days flush Plants OK

Day 42, start of flowering week 3: they are growing nicely, had to do a lot of defoliation on each plant, except the one in the 3L pot. Day 43, I started to discover that the roots are coming out aggressively from the bottom of the pot. I did not move the ones in the back, but I guess same thing. The one in the 3L pot doesn't have this problem. Day 45: getting really excited for these guys! I'm trying to keep the temp and humidity low, and I hope I can achieve some of the purple color :P any advice on that? day46: defoliaton

Hello. This is the end of week 10 of flowering... and it's harvest time. Just shot some quick video's to show what they look like after flushing. Should take around 4 or 5 days to harvest all 13 plants. With the weighing of the raw branches before wet trimming them and writing down the weight, And the taking of the photo's, making them look good, it takes a little longer to harvest doing a diary. OK. See you in a couple of weeks. Chuck.

As usual plain sailing the autopots are such a bonus when it's 28c indoors. This week they have had pH water and Iguana juice Bio. Also they have had two times KNF foliar feed.

Start in to week 7 As usual, she lost again some Fanleaf's 😏 She's getting really sticky and she's developing a stronger fruity smell in the last 2 days👍 Trying out a CO2 Bag.... And she gets another watering with 2l with 1g/l BioEnhancer Day 78. Day83 Trichome's are most milky and some few Ember at the Top's. Still few clear I think she get another Week and she will be finish👍

*So many leaves!! Lots of defoliation still. *Smells stronger, earthy *About to have her own tent
