Week 7 since we switched the light to 12/12, What’s up fellow gardeners? So this week, things got a little faster because 2 gorilla ladies started to mature earlier than their other two companions, so they had to be given a little different treatment. They needed a little manicure so that the lower flowers could also ripen. Did a moderately severe defoliation on this 2 plants. The other two are just getting fatter and gaining more weight lovely at the moment. The flowers are beautifully full, the VPD is excellent and the resin is constantly flowing seriously. The ladies are still hungry and drinking 5 litres of water every 3 days. The two gals who are ahead got their first ripening cure with Final Part, the other two were fed as usual. The scent is starting to become a little more complex, with a basket of ripe fruit added to the sweetness. I really hope this will stay until the end of the grow and after a good dry and cure process we can get it back in the final smoke.💨🍭 Crisping has started on one pheno on the biggest fan leaves, but I think it’s genetic related so I don’t attach much importance to it.🍁 It really seems like the more advanced of the two should be harvested first, which I think will happen within 2 weeks at most. The other two a week or 1,5 later but it will definitely happen before Christmas time. Vpd.:1,21-1,45kpa Par: 690-1090 ppfd I'll see you soon fello gardeners. Happy farming family!👨🏻‍🌾🌱

She is stretching, and budding up alright! She also took nicely to the scrog. Let's see how long i will keep it this time before getting annoyed by the reduced handling capabilities 😬 Waterin still 6L at 6PH, reducing grow and introducing bloom, currentl 3ml/L grow 2ml/L bloom, next watering will be 3 Bloom 2 grow, 4-1, to 5-0. This has worked nicely with the Whiteberry so i will keep this up. Before whiteberry i always hard-switched, but this seems fine as well.

10/24/2022: plants are all healthy. Strawberry Gushers is definitely starting to flower and the Newberry is showing signs of preflower. My little guy Orange Bubblegum is still growing slowly and no signs of flower yet. The Orange Bubblegum still looks healthy, she just grows really slow. Not showing signs of any deficiencies, or over or under watering, so I think it may just be the plant. Since the other two plants are starting to flower, I top dressed with 1/3 cup Gnarly barley, 1/3 cup Craft Blend from BuildASoil, along with about 2 cups(didn't really measure, just scooped a few handfulls) of BuildAFlower. Also added a handful of bokashi on top of that. I then lightly watered the two top dressed plants, since they both received a full watering yesterday. Still doing some light LST and minor defoliation. 10/26/2022: made avtea today using TeaCo Super tea blend. Gave about 1.75 liters to the Strawberry Gushers and Newberry, since they are both starting their stretch. Gave about 1 liter to the Orange Bubblegum, since it is still the smallest. It seems to be about a week behind the other 2 plants even though they were all germinated and planted on the same days. Also raised the lite slightly, since the bigger plants were getting a little more ppfd than I wanted, but i also inceased the intensity of the light to about 80%. Been increasing by a few percent a day and plan to max it at 100% once the final plant starts to flower. The average ppfd is about 600, which is a DLI of about 40. 10/28/2022: watered about 1.5 liters per plant. This time I added Rootwise Bio-Phos, now that 2 out of the 3 plants are in flower. Also, top dressed the Orange Bubblegum. I snapped a branch on the Newberry when trying to super crop a few of the taller branches. Also noticed the Newberry was looking a little droopy today. Not sure if it was a water issue or if I turned up the light too much. I'll monitor to see how it looks later, now that I watered and raised the light a few more inches. Wanted to have a scrog net in by now, but I'm waiting for some 4 way PVC connectors so I can finish building a frame. Always just tied to the tent poles previous grows, but I wanted to try something new. 10/30/2022: watered 2 liters for the Strawberry Gushers and Newberry and 1.5 liters for the Orange Bubblegum. Added BuildASoil Coconut Powder, along with the Rootwise Bio-Phos and ThermX-70. Installed the scrog net as well. It's a little high right now, but I'm hoping the plants will grow into it. I can cut the PVC pipes shorter if I need to. Avg. VPD:1.1 PPFD: 600 DLI: 40

Day 43-49 A lot of them are showing signs of going into bloom. Doing their stretch before bloom, so they need more nitrogen before they're done stretching. My own unbiased opinions about deep water culture.I love it.It's got the precision I need and control. If you like something more relaxed, living soil is your thing, but this is mine.I'm enjoying it.Everything's growing people have already done the research.I just gotta apply it.

The Do Si Dos F1 Hybrid Automatic, did not start off well, they are a bit with the leaves gathered on themselves, but we are very confident of a fiery continuation, they have spoken very well of them and now that they take a little more nutrients you will see how they will go. Growing projects for autoflowering plants ----- As for autoflowering plants I really love preserving the Main Cola. So I will try to make or grow the plants well or badly without affecting the main cola. Nowadays topping on autoflowering plants is very accepted but it is not my favorite thing to transform a baby born to finish in 10 weeks into a baby that finishes in 14, I say at this point I do photoperiodic. But in periods of people who only grow autoflowering everything is permitted for goodness sake if you want to do it, do it I will not be the one to stop you. Also because the results are excellent nothing to really discuss about anything except time. All this to tell us that I recommend for example fimming on plants that tend to grow tall to give power to the lateral branches, LST as much as you want, I don't like too much, spread me out, I need space. HST and splitting are with experience. These are my tips not the absolute truth please do not mistake me for a great sage holder of the truth I speak as I see it. The first week went only with Power Roots 1 Ml/l and Pure Zym 1 ml/l from now on we will start with ALga Grow. The plants were transplanted shortly after germination because the biodegradable pots were very small. The soil is Plagron Pro Mix 100% organic renewed with 30% new soil and 20% Perlite added. (Pro mix does not have perlite but is airy, we added it anyway) Plagron fertilizers are available on Zamnesia in convenient Pack formats for all growing styles. I used this with a simple search you can find the other products. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/12119-plagron-top-grow-box-100-naturale.html Try a seed of this variety that drives us crazy... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10664-zamnesia-seeds-do-si-dos-f1-automatic.html Description Zamnesia // From the team at Zamnesia Seeds comes Do-Si-Dos F1 Automatic. Using consistent and reliable F1 genetics, this strain is not only incredibly easy to grow, but also offers potent and delicious buds. The plants remain small and offer a reliable growing experience that everyone will enjoy. Growbox and Air System - Secret Jardin DS120w + fans + exhaust fans and DF16 filters kit ---- https://www.secretjardin.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is at ----www.zamnesia.com Collaboration request: I am available for collaborations with companies of lights and various growing equipment (please no seed and nut companies) I would like to renovate my 120x120 space that has slightly outdated lights and would like to try some controllers. If you have any proposals available.

Week 8 for Strawberry Gorilla by fastbuds Don't notice much growth to be honest think its due to this plant being in a darkish shed because we've had super strong rain storms pretty much the whole week... Which really isnt ideal at this point😓But seems like the rain is over now LETS HOPE! She was fed once this week with some FPJ, Regulator, Enzym+ & Topbooster by @aptus_portugal right at the start of the week. Humidity has been so high that the pots still seem very heavy. I was thinking she would be done in 2ish weeks but seems like it may take its full life cycle to get her done.

06/12: c'est le moment de commencer à compter les semaines de floraison. Arrosage ce matin qui a été suivi par une drôle de réaction de la part de la plante je n'arose que très peu depuis le début vus que c'est une automatique et aujourd'hui après deux jours de canicule et 3 jours depuis le dernier arrosage. Enfin voilà ce matin j'arrose et les feuilles deviennent tombante je me dit ok: attendons quelques heures voir ce qui se passe et je l'a retrouve dans une forme holympique. Mise quotidienne du LST. 06/13: arrosage 1L *engraisser 06/14: vague de chaleur. ... je sent que je vais vite devoir arroser de nouveau la chaleur et les ventilateurs et pot en geotextiles égale substrat qui sèche vite! 06/16: arrosage 1.2L (engraisser) 06/17: température extérieure 33*C température dans la box 30*C malgré cette vague de chaleur la wcc réagi plutôt bien on dirait qu'elle aime la chaleur et le vent plus que les vario. Que j'ai grow jusqu'à présent. 06/18: la temperature retombe sous les 30°C ouf temp. dans la +/-26° arrosage 1.5(AN ph Perfect grow pour corriger un manque d'azote + bud candy) (j33)

Hello friends! Here’s the skinny on my grow “First Mainline Attempt!”. I’m going to split this up a bit so it’s easier to follow, this will be a long one :) ~ Progress Day 56 ~ There’s been a lot of growth happening since I got this new light from KINGLED, genuinely surprised. I could notice the difference within hours that my little ones where love’n the light! Compared to last week the difference is huge (to me). I was using a Bestva LED light for my grows up to this point. I read reviews and thought that would be the best light (Bestva) within my current budget. But my plants didn’t seem happy, or growing at an expected rate, I thought I was doing something wrong. Well long story short the KINGLED has made a impact on my plants, I can’t believe all I needed was more light. I will post the light specs below if you’re interested. Now i’m gonna jump right into this weeks growth. I’ll separate each plant below and provide details on height and structure. ~ Individual Progress Notes ~ [CBD Blueberry] Height: 6.0" Tops: 8 Notes: Smallest of the mothers, and she has a weird asymmetrical growth pattern, the nodes don’t match evenly, not sure what mutation this is. It could be that this strain doesn’t like being mainlined.. If this negatively impacts the overall yield and quality I will kill off this mother plant and clones. I have 2 more seeds to germ so it’s not a total loss. [Mazar] Height: 8.0" Tops: 8 Notes: This girl is responding the best to the mainline experiment, I’m excited to clone her off later. Nice symmetrical growth :) [White Widow] Height: 6.1" Tops: 8 Notes: I honestly thought she would be the runt, guess not! Though not the biggest she has the phatest leaves and thickest canopy. I can only wonder what the next few weeks will be like. Must clone! [Super Silver Haze] Height: 7.2" Tops: 8 Notes: Another that’s responding well to the treatment. I’d like to clone her of as well as soon as there is enough growth for me to collect samples. I’ve only had this strain once so I’m hoping this will be as good or better, who knows :) [Purple Urkle #1] Height: 8.0 Tops: 8 Notes: I lost the clone to this girl, I'll need a replacement(s) to test before I flower, more stretch than the others, hmm (both 1 & 2 need to be tested via clones) [Purple Urkle #2] Height: 9.0 Tops: 8 Notes: This girl is very stretchy and her clone is insane! Thickest stalk out of any of my girls? I don't know why but she is phat, love it. Check out my diary "A Few Clones" if you're interested in this possible monster of a plant :) ~ Concerns ~ My only real concern at this point is mite and insect control. This grow is in the garage so that’s not especially easy to avoid. Staying vigilant and nuke’n everything that moves (without harming my plants) is working so far. Those pesky mites and other fan favorite insects! I swear I’ll get my revenge >:( ~ Final Thoughts ~ Other than the local mite population making claims to my property, I’m very satisfied with this weeks progress. Installing the ducting and fans was the hardest chore I had to do, and now that’s taken care of. Before I finish up I want to apologize for not being as detailed and thorough these past few weeks. Now this is a bit personal but I’m willing to share it with ya’ll. My mother has stage 4 cancer, yeah… It hasn’t hit me like a train yet, but I’m still suffering. I’m trying to prepare myself in the event she doesn't make it through chemo and that’s a tough pill to swallow friends. Hopefully I can produce some cbd medicine for her to ease her pain, and help to improve her quality of life. I’m going to close this weeks update by saying thank you to all of you wonderful people, the support and comments make my day, I appreciate em all. Much love, Meus [Light Specs] Brand: KINGLED Series: King Plus Model: 3000 watt Replacement: 2000 watt Avg Power Draw: 615 watt Input Voltage(AC): 85-265 Volts Frequency: 50-60 Hz Lifespan: 50,000 hours Total LEDs: 300 Core Coverage Area at 24": 7.8' x 7.5' PAR at 18": 760 μmol/m2s Lumens: 23454.6 Weight: 15.8 lbs

Como mencionaba en el 1er video por intensas lluvias y vientos, la planta más grande se ha partido, intente "repararlo" pero será cuestión de días para ver si ha sobrevivido o no. Por las dudas he regado( a pesar de la lluvia) 1ml x litro de agua. La cantidad de la misma fue de 3litros con flora booster.

Day 60 – Dancing with Nature What a joy this lady is turning out to be! She continues to thrive under the unpredictable UK skies — basking in sunlight one moment, then embracing gentle showers and cloud cover the next. There’s something magical about seeing her adapt so effortlessly to nature’s rhythm without any artificial boost or intervention. Today marks her 60th day, and she’s standing proud at around 80cm, now fully settled into her flowering phase. In celebration, I gently sprinkled three teaspoons of Plagron Bat Guano over the soil — a natural phosphorus-rich kick to support vigorous flower development and promote dense bud formation in the coming weeks. It’s a subtle but effective way to stimulate her floral energy without disrupting the soil’s microbial harmony. Visually, she’s starting to reveal her potential. Bud sites are forming nicely, with promising pistil clusters at every top. The deep green foliage, wide open to catch every ray of sunlight, signals balanced nutrition, strong roots, and a resilient phenotype. No signs of stress from fluctuating weather or wind exposure, which speaks volumes about the Fast Buds genetics powering this grow. This grow has been all about minimal input — just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a homemade super soil blend. No tents, no artificial lights, no pampering. Just trust in the soil, the sun, and the strain. The fact that she’s developing so gracefully shows that outdoor growing in the UK is not only possible — it’s rewarding. Let’s see how she responds to the bat guano boost in the next few days. I have a good feeling she’ll thank me with thicker, more resinous blooms soon. 🌿
