Slowly going towards the finish with this beautiful run. I will give them slowly less nutrients over the next week before than flushing this ladys.

She's starting to show some nice purple colors, even though it's not getting very cold at night. She's showing many nice buds and it appears that while they may not be the biggest buds I have grown, they will be quite firm. So far, so good! Let's see what happens!

Still feeding them with Greenpower 7ml/l and i give them around 1.7L every 3 days. Yesterday i added some Great White Mycorrhiza (this stuff is killer!!) to the feeding. i will give the runtz 1 more week and flush it. HerzOG will go to flush in 2 - 2 1/2 weeks. 😏 ps: hope you guys enjoy the video 😅

This week i topped the plant at the 4-5th node Check out YouTube video SuperSmoker for more!

Week 2

Day 44 – Steady March into Flowering The journey continues! Although the weather remains inconsistent — with chilly mornings, bursts of afternoon sun, and cold nights — this lady refuses to be held back. She’s thriving confidently in her super soil blend, nourished solely with pH-balanced tap water, and showing no signs of slowing down. Her foliage has become lush and expansive, acting like solar panels eagerly soaking in every bit of light they can capture between the clouds. New growth is vigorous, and the pre-flowering signs are now clearly taking shape, promising a smooth transition into full bloom. The top node is beginning to stack, and those early pistils are spreading — a sure sign she’s enjoying her environment. Although nighttime temperatures have dipped, she’s been strong enough to remain outdoors under the open sky. To protect her from the sneaky slug patrol, I’ve elevated her above ground level — a small tactic, but one that keeps her canopy untouched and flourishing. There’s something uniquely rewarding about this outdoor grow — it’s low-cost, hands-on, and deeply satisfying. While indoor tents offer more control, nothing beats adapting to nature’s rhythm and still achieving such healthy development. Much credit goes to FastBuds.com for the genetics. This girl is showing impressive resilience, structure, and poise — exactly what you want in a CBD-dominant auto. Can’t wait to transform this harvest into some rich, therapeutic CBD oil. One step closer each day! Day 46 – Thriving Naturally Under Open Skies This lady continues to prove that sometimes, less is truly more. I’ve kept things as simple and natural as possible — no synthetic nutrients, no grow tents, no artificial stimulation. Just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a super soil blend I mixed myself months ago. The result? A strong, healthy, and surprisingly resilient plant that now towers confidently at over 60 cm and is embracing her flowering phase with grace. Yesterday brought a refreshing rainfall — and while some might worry about outdoor exposure, this girl clearly enjoyed every drop. Her leaves were glistening with energy this morning as the sun returned, and the vibrant growth is undeniable. It’s moments like these that remind me why I chose an outdoor grow: nature takes care of its own when we provide the right foundation. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to keep her outside right through to harvest. With the summer sun still ahead, she’s got the best part of the season to stretch, stack, and swell those buds. Massive appreciation to FastBuds.com — the genetics are absolutely spot on for a low-maintenance grower like myself. Reliable, vigorous, and beautiful to watch evolve. No gimmicks. No stress. Just sun, soil, and the will to grow. Day 49 – Battle-Tested by Nature, Still Standing Tall What a wild few days it’s been! Heavy rain and strong winds put my lady through her first proper trial. At one point she even took a tumble from her pedestal and bent slightly under the pressure. But if there’s one thing that’s become crystal clear — Fast Buds genetics are made of iron. 💪 Despite the rough weather, she’s bounced back beautifully. Today the skies have cleared, and the sunshine has returned — and so has her posture. Her leaves are once again reaching outward with confidence, showing no signs of stress or damage. It’s moments like these that make outdoor cultivation so rewarding. There’s no hiding from the elements out here — it’s all about adaptability, resilience, and harmony with nature. My growing technique remains deliberately minimalistic: no artificial feeds, no grow tents, no special shelters — just pure rain, sunlight, and my homemade super soil blend. The goal is to let nature take the lead, and so far, she’s doing a brilliant job. If you’re thinking of trying an outdoor grow and want something straightforward yet satisfying, I can’t recommend FastBuds.com genetics enough. They’ve created a line that genuinely thrives even under less-than-ideal conditions. We’ve now passed the 7-week mark, and I’m more convinced than ever that this grow will finish strong, under open skies — just the way I envisioned. 🌿☀️

######################################### HARVEST (Day 110 / December 21) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x4 because of heater and dehumidification but each plant averaged a 2x3 canopy. Each plant had a dedicated light, Sage 2 used the HLG 300 V2 Rspec and Sage 3 used the CMH 315. It's not an accurate comparison of lights because there was some overlap but I'm just utilizing my resources the best I can for this dedicated autoflower tent. The plants were grown in hydroponics using a custom two-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Sage #3 had an issue just after stretch, and I think I burnt it a bit when the CMH was at 22". I also experimented with a single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7 and turned out surprisingly well - see the results below. It's always fun to see the two contrasting phenotypes side by side. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- From day 106 to day 110, I just stopped feeding and let the ppms run down. No dark period and no flush. On day 110 they were chopped. I probably could have let them go a bit longer, but my concerns were growing with Sage 3 and the sugar leaves being brittle and flacking off onto lower buds promoting bud rot. The smell of this flower on the plant was funk and was hard to control the funk... even with a carbon filter. Trichomes are slightly amber, mostly milky overall. I'm convinced hydroponics can add a couple of weeks of veg time to the run compared to coco/soil. Cutting the Scrog net was required. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- The plants were dried in a 3x3 tent, so I had to cut the plants in 1/4 sections to fit in the 3x3 drying tent for a slow dry. Branches were hung to dry on burlap twine in a tent in complete darkness, branches upside down. The temps were dialed in at 60F by pointing AC at the intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. Ambient RH in my house is 30% due to winter so I had to use two humidifiers and an Inkbird controller to add humidity to the room and block the humidity streams from hitting plants directly. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 8, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. I pulled the branches to trim as they were ready around starting around day 12. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- I trimmed each branch as it was ready but there were times when I pulled more than I could trim without being interrupted so a few branches did overdry on my trim table due to the low ambient RH due to winter. Very few fan leaves on branches, so most trim was all sugar leaves. I went tight with trim to ensure a better flower product and more supply for edible totaling in over 11 ounces of trim product. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and boveda/boost 8gr humidity pack. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. I started by burping once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange. Because the flower product was already at almost 62% when packaged in jars, quite the contrast from drying in summer conditions, I only needed to burp once per day and mold really wasn't much of an issue due to low humidity in winter. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 10 day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 301g (10.75oz) Sage 3: 377g (13.46oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 670g (23.93oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 204g Sage 3: 135g ---------------------------------------- Total: 327g (11.67oz) **I went tight on the trim for better flower product and sufficient supply for edibles, and is calculated in overall yield. ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Flower: 678g (24.21oz) Trim: 327g (11.68oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 1005g (35.89oz) (2.24lb) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 1005g / 12 sqft (3x4 canopy) = 83.75g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 615 Watts / 12 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 51.25 watts per sqft. 1005g / 615 watts = 1.63 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- On day 10 of cure, I tested the flower and passed some to a few friends for their input. Feedback was positive. One little bud was given to a friend and he reported it stunk his entire car. Sticky, trichome-covered fire! Smoke is smooth, no cough. White ash. The 60/40 (sativa/indica) is a blend that is on point. Sage Scout definitely is a heavy hitter; upwards of 3.5 hour noticeable head/body change with no couchlock at the end. In regards to flavor and smell, it's not fully there yet on only day 10 of cure. The flavors/scents are still muted but I expect the flavours to prevail after 6-8 weeks of curing. Very funky and strong smell that bursts past the mason jar lids. Piney sweet scent. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, I only have two regrets with this run. 1. More aggressive lolipopping! I just feel if I had lolipopped more, I would have had a denser product overall. The flower product is indeed dense, and all in all, I'm happy with the result, but it's I'm adding as a reminder for the next run. I need to be more selective. 2. I slacked on the training of Sage #2 due to the hard-to-reach factor which probably affected about additional 1-2 oz of yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. I’m was very happy with Microbial Mass product in combination with Orca. Once again, I was overall happy with Advanced Coco blend for RWDC. I went with Coco product because Coco is similar to hydroponics, the AN Coco line just has added Calmag to it. I didn’t really see any issues with the AN Coco line and I like the autonomous factor of AN sensi products because my photoperiod tent takes some of my attention, so it is nice to have this autolower tent on auto-pilot for the majority of the grow. 2. When harvesting, I did find a few spots of concern in the root system, so I will definitely upgrade the pump from 250gph to a 400gph for better flow to combat that issue. 3. My experiment with a single water change when switching to bloom nutrients was a surprising result. Sage 2 (purple pheno) performed well with no deficiencies which I had trouble sorting out the deficiency on Sage 3. I continue to wonder if it was salt build-up, but it seemed to start shortly after the change to bloom nutrients so maybe it was a nitrogen/calmag issue. I may add an additional water change mid-flower (week 11) to the next run and see if it makes any difference is the same conditions happen. 4. I'll also like to move the two-site system to the front of the tent for better accessibility to train the plants. 5. I'm also looking at the floorplan of the tent and I think I can run a single system in parallel next to this two-site system and still have room for heater/dehumidifier and still keep accessibility for training. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- Night Owl genetics has performed once again in my RDWC setup. I also feel a dedicated light for each plant really helped improve the yield. If I calculate a 2x3 space for each plant, with a total of 615 watts / 12 sq ft, running at 51.25 watts per square foot is the result. In regards to gram per watt, I've calculated the result is nearly 1.63 gram per watt when using 1005g / 615 watts. My goal was a pound per plant, I was happy to exceed that goal line with autoflowers with 2.24lb total yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!

FLOWERING WEEK 1 - 4TH DAY FLOWERING/WORM TEA

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

The girl has been blooming for six years now, now I'm just waiting for the trichomes to turn white and finally there will be a harvest. So far they are transparent and the buds are not yet ripe, I will have to wait 😉

Defoliated these ladies, still have the feeling that not enough I took down. What do you all think? Overall condition is great and buds are surprisingly well established at this stage. Stems already shaking some more weight and they gonna drop down easily.

Growth is exploding, nodes are coming in hot! .happy with the progress so far. These girls will fill out nicely .

Acabamos la séptima semana de floración de las Original de GrowBarato familia, y no podéis imaginaros lo bien que huelen. Tienen un buen color, se ven sanas, y van progresando adecuadamente la flor va poco a poco engordando y tirando bien de tricomas. Creo que seguiré abonando una semana más , ya iremos viendo estos días que hago pero si creo que una semana más es necesario. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 45%/55% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Week 7 - 08/11 - Topped most of the plant so far - LST tied down all main colas - Had an issue with the PH - has since been neutralized - clean water feeds for the next 2 weeks - prepping for transplant into 7 gallon pot.

Week 4 was actually pretty smooth. she was showing nitrogen and potassium deficiencies because she was being terribly underfed and because i had weened her off the veg nutes WAY too soon. I found the dyna gro nutrient schedule and ive been following that. i will definitely be following the schedule much better next round as i wasnt actually aware they had a schedule out. Shes currently week 5 day 1 and shes already fat af and super trichomey.s he still got at least 2 weeks left. she might be ready by week 7 honestly tho who knows guess well see. Ive been giving her 1 gal each time of dechlorinated tap water just straight water. it has been phd to 6.6 ph. runoff tested at 6.3 ph. will probably flush one last time before continuing the bloom feed.

Every 8 months in my house... a whole crop gets harvested.

Day 12 of organic grow and all is well. Seemed to have dialed in the conditions and able to keep good air movement, CO2 levels, and consistent temperatures/humidity with the ThruWall Closet Fan (Model TW108 ), and the Holmes Twin Exhaust/Intake Fan (Model HAWF-2041). Humidity is maintained with a Lovoit 6L Ultrasonic Programmable Cool Mist Humidifier (Model# LV600HH). Added a SCROG screen (just a cargo net) and bought the Sample Pack of organic nutrients from Nectar for the Gods (just pay shipping and they will send you the sample nutrients - check out the website). People say their line of nutrients make the buds smell and taste like no other! I have always been an organic Earth Juice nutrient guy, so I am going to experiment with combining the two. Lights are on 24/0 and she has tight internodal spacing with good vertical growth. Room that closet is in is beginning to smell skunky at times, and like diesel at other times. Will begin light organic nutrients with next watering. If you made it this far, please check out my other autoflower grows. Day 13 - Watered today with very low strength nutrients added. - Zannabis7

Couldn’t manage the stretching anymore ... heartbreaking but this is the end for this G14.
