so Barney's Farm what do you think about your Afghan hash plant and its progress?... what's your opinion on the finishing times judging on the video that I took of your variety?

Welcome to week two. Day 8 05/10 So far the two plants in Down to Earth seem to be doing better. Hopefully this week goes better. Day 10 05/12 all for plants growing one of them very weak but will let it go till it gives on its own. Feeding all four plants a cup a day of water for two and the other two get FoopCanna everyday following schedule. Other than that Down To Earth seems to be kicking butt. Day 14 05/16 so we come to the end of the week and again Down To Earth seems to be kicking ass. Both plants in DTE are twice as tall and busier.

Left Plant Buds are getting bigger and bigger Right plants not so much yet

Hi there 💚 The Fat Monkey is doing really well! She is developing splendidly the flowers look great am happy this week there was only water without calmag !Had a few problems with too much calmag so I think I'll start again next week with 0.3ml per liter . Thanks for your time and see you soon😊✌️ For more just follow and like 😊👍💚

GMO Cookies — Week 8 From Seed (≈ Week 3 Flower — 12/12 From Seed) “Served with extra curiosity.” 🌱 Quick Recap (For Everyone Joining Now) These girls have been running 12/12 from seed from day one. No traditional vegetative phase. They decided their timing — we followed. This is not about chasing more harvests per year. It’s about efficiency, energy management, and less unnecessary labor. We are now at Week 8 from seed, which we consider early–mid flower transition (Week 3 flowering) based on pistil development and stacking behavior. ⸻ 🌡️ Room Conditions The room is looking strong and stable. • Temperature: ~28°C • Humidity: ~70% (slowly reducing) • PPFD: 800–1300 µmol/m²/s (varies per plant height) • Airflow: Heavy exchange + vortex + crosswinds Now let’s explain the why. We are prioritizing leaf VPD, not just room VPD. Because of strong airflow and active transpiration, we can run slightly higher humidity at this stage without creating microclimate issues. Big intake. Big exhaust. Vortex movement. Crosswind fans breaking boundary layers. This allows us to push intensity safely. And intensity is where the fun begins. ⸻ 💡 Lighting Strategy We are not just running a top light. We are using: • Over-canopy lighting • Inner canopy lighting • Under-canopy lighting Why? Because photosynthesis doesn’t only happen at the top cola. Lower sites can remain productive if light penetrates and airflow supports them. Benefits: • More uniform energy distribution • Reduced larf • Better lower bud development • Higher nutrient demand (which we are seeing) This multi-angle light system is part of why we can push EC while still seeing substrate EC remain low. ⸻ Feeding & EC Strategy Current Irrigation EC: ~2.4 Substrate EC reading: ~0.9 That tells us something important: The girls are eating. When runoff/substrate EC remains low despite high input EC, it means uptake is strong and salts are not accumulating. The moment we see substrate EC climbing? We reduce feed EC immediately. End goal: Final week or so → likely water only. ⸻ Current Nutrient Recipe • CalMag Pro • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal (No more Vita Race foliar for now.) ⸻ 🔬 Why We Switched Additives We moved from Power Roots → Power Buds + Green Sensation Power Buds • Encourages flower initiation • Supports generative growth • Helps hormonal shift into flowering mode Green Sensation • PK booster • Adds Magnesium & Iron • Supports enzyme systems & chlorophyll stability • Assists in energy transport during early bulking phase We are now in the stage where roots are established — focus shifts to flowers and energy management. ⸻ ⚗️ Order of Mixing (Chemistry Matters) This is important. 1. CalMag first Our water is very soft. We raise EC to ~0.7 using CalMag before adding anything else. Why? • Calcium stabilizes solution chemistry. • Prevents nutrient lockout. • Reduces risk of precipitation when adding PK later. • Supports cell wall strength during high transpiration. 2. Base nutrients (Terra Bloom) 3. Additives (Power Buds, Green Sensation, Pure Zym, Sugar Royal) Mixing order affects solubility and stability. This is not random. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Development Defoliation was done recently. Result? It looks like nothing happened. The canopy refilled quickly. Structure is strong. Stretch is controlled but active. Stacking is beginning. They are bigger than expected at this stage, to be honest. This is where things get interesting. ⸻ 🔬 Macro Season Begins We are entering the phase where microphotography becomes meaningful. Yes, it’s always interesting. But now: • Trichome stalks are forming. • Resin heads are developing. • Pistil clusters are stacking. • Leaf surface gland density increases. From this week forward, macro and focus stacking will become part of the reports. Not for hype. For documentation. ⸻ 🔮 What To Expect Next Week • Continued stacking • Slight humidity reduction • Possible EC adjustment depending on substrate readings • Increased resin production • Internodal swelling No drastic changes planned — just observation and precision. ⸻ 🤝 Appreciation Section Thank you to: • The long-time followers • The OGs • The critics • The silent readers • The new growers joining • The Grow Diaries platform • The sponsors • And everyone watching quietly This doesn’t happen because I’m alone in the garden. It happens because of community.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Dies ist die letzte Woche der Vegetation. Ich habe zu Beginn noch einmal etwas defoliert und werde es nun die ganze Woche wachsen lassen. Der Triebwuchs ist sehr schön und es wird einen Haufen Spitzen geben.

On the final few days of a 10 day flush. Will be chopping down this week to harvest and hang dry. Really excited to try this one. The smells in the room are unreal.

As I am growing automatic plants arriving in the 5th week it goes into pre-flowering and I was thinking that my 140w led panel would not suit me in the 3 foot cover of the grow. So I invested in a new 240w panel that will provide me with excellent coverage. This week I added the koolbloom to meet the needs of the plant in this phase of transition to flowering. The first pre-flowers started to appear and the plants showed good vigor. Some brown spots on B2 show some magnesium deficiency, decreasing the watering interval and increasing the callMag a little.

Easy start. Good impression.

Off to a good start 2/3 seeds popped but starting another one and hopefully it’ll follow a week or so behind these two. Have a few purple gelatos flowering beside these a week or so out from harvest for and then I’ll be acclimating the room fully towards these two :)

Divine Seeds 2025 Auto Contest 👉Sponsored👈 AK-47XL Auto W5 F1 7/6- 12 AK47XL has 3 tops, stretched about 6 inches, now 18 inches and started flower. What an exciting week for AK47! I moved her outside last week and so far is demonstrating resistance to heat and humidity. Let's keep that going little Miss Candy. We have returned to heat in the 90s with heat index at or above 100. with rain expected daily this coming week. I am giving water only for this grow since I have Supersoil as part of the base and will add Green Sensation during flower. As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of all growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Hanging tight with this kiddo... If one thing is for certain, she is dedicated to her life as a bushy Betty. Having to so often defoliate has stressed this lady out. Despite that, she is surprisingly still hauling strong. I have to say, in my experience Fastbuds genetics really take a beating. My cycle with her goes something like, bush out, defoliate, stress, bounce back with full on bush, repeat.

Fastbuds is the best Autoflower seed company. I’d try any other brands if someone would let me test one. As of now, no reason to switch a great thing... bravo fastbuds 🇺🇸 USA USA
