Vegetation Phase - Week 5 Week 5 marks a bittersweet milestone. RIP to the Marienkäfer homie — gone but never forgotten. Their watchful eyes and pest-snacking legacy will forever live on in the tent. Meanwhile, the Donutz gang is thriving and about to hit the next big step in their journey: the 7-liter pot upgrade. Updates & Changes: RIP Marienkäfer: Nature giveth and taketh away. The tent feels a little emptier without our little guardian, but pest pressure remains nonexistent thanks to their diligent work. Transplant Time: The plants are moving up to 7L pots this week, giving their roots the room they need to expand and thrive before flipping to bloom. This upgrade will ensure a strong foundation for the explosive growth coming soon. Watering: Still sticking with reverse osmosis (RO) water for maximum control and cleanliness. Plan for Flower Transition: After the transplant, the plants will chill for the rest of the week in their new homes to recover and adjust. Week 6 will cover the flip to flower. With the clean lollipopped structure and solid root development, these plants are set to focus all their energy on producing hefty main colas in the Sea of Green setup. Observations: The Donutz are stacking beautifully, with healthy green leaves and strong stems. The SOG canopy is filling out, and each plant is shaping up to deliver a uniform, productive grow. Next Steps: Monitor the plants closely after transplanting to ensure they adjust smoothly to the 7L pots. Maintain stable environmental conditions to avoid stress during the final veg phase. Prepare for the flip to flower in Week 6 — the real show is about to begin!

D-29 : I made a mistake. I think the second top I did today was too soon. Only 4 days after the first one. What is done, is done. Now, let see what happend but, I'll wait more for the last top. I think I'll wait untill the new mains have at least 3 new real nodes. D-30 : Every thing is ok except that the new mains are really really really small.... It should be better in a couple of days. D-33 : Everything is ok ! What should I say ?!

So this lady probably could co one more week as I’m getting that second round push of fox tails and more white pistols, but she is also about 10% amber 10% clear and the rest cloudy. I chopped her as these buds are FREAKIN MASSIVE and it’s getting pretty humid in the basement (even with the dehu running 24/7). So I’m chopping a little early to be on the safe side! The speed and quality is amazing! Im super impressed with these fast flowering ladies! I will have to pop more really soon! Smoke and dry weight in a week! ✌️🏻💚

Hey Guys :-) . A few days ago, the seeds were sprouted. I will put one for the GHSC Cup and two in an extra diary. The reason why I planted 3 seeds right away is because the Wonder Pie is a very interesting strain. And I'll take cuttings from all of them, and hope to have a beautiful mother 🙏 🏻 🌱. The seed was planted in Canna Bio. This contains enough food for the first 1-2 weeks before repotting that I only have to mix with Bio Grow Feeding and Enhancer when repotting ፦) I wish everyone a nice week 👍 👌 🌱. Green House Seeds Company Cup 🏆 Type: Wonder Pie ☝️🏼 Genetics: Wedding Cake x OG Kush 👍😍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Flower Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 220 W 💡💡☝️🏼 Earth: Canna Bio ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Bio Grow Feeding ( GHSC ) , Enhancer ( GHSC ) , Bio Bloom ( GHSC) ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 6.0

She's a real beast. I started the flush this week by removing all nutrients from her watering. I just overwater her a little, and remove the access. Going forward, I will continue just giving her a good diet of plain water to remove some of the salts from the soil. She's a little too big to take outside to really flush her. I'm sure this will work out fine. I had to continue tying up some of her branches to keep them from falling over. She's looking good.

48 days left to veg 😖😖😖 Getting close Soooooo ya, full steam ahead. 1 more week and I will transplant 2 of the RuntZ into 5 gallon containers. Hulkberry- the lateral branching is going wild now. The extra SST’s are helping in a big way. Side Note: the nutrients listed are for the Hulkberry. RuntZ Nutrients: 2-2-2 All purpose Dr Earth - 1 TBSP, a sprinkle of recharge , earth worm castings 1 TBSP

Ok this is my Full guide with pictures on how to setup a Deep Water Culture grow, items you will need for this grow - Firstly a TENT or ROOM i use a tent REMEMBER stuff you buy NUTRIENTS off eBay and Amazon could be decanted (watered down) , or cheap chinese fakes (Ph Meters, PPM meters) you should really buy these things from you local hydroponics store,as they are guaranteed , i ve dropped a few into the bucket and they are fked,its been a sunday night with a bank holiday monday and i m fked, 1) Ph Down - makes the ph of water LOWER - this is VERY STRONG SHIT , wear gloves and googles if you are messing with it, i drop a bit into my main reservoir Ph 6.9 ( maybe 10ml per 200L) 2) Ph up - makes the Ph go higher - also STRONG SHIT -only needed in Emergencies 3) Ph meter 4) PPM Meter or EC meter 5) 20L Bucket + moulded lid netpot 6) Air Pump ,air hose 3m ,air stone x2, 7) Pebbles to fill to top of netpot, 8) ROOT IT cubes , i use these and ONLY these, by that brand,i know why,and so im telling you, 9) Seeds - I prefer Fast_Buds ,autos ready in 10 weeks of 18/6 - top quality 10) Nutrients, I use Canna as they are the easiest, they have a way of filling the one side , if you take the top off you can squeeze into the measuring side - I would also recommend Advanced Nutrients,but they are more expensive - so you will need 1L Canna Aqua Vega A+B ( it comes as two parts that you cannot mix together , when you put this into the water you MUST stir it well before putting each one in seperately otherwise you will get salts formed and crystals floating around,10 ml per 10L week 1-2 ,15ml per 10L week 3, 20ml per 10L in week 4) 1L Canna Aqua Flores A+B (as above) 25ml per 10L week 5, 30ml per 10L week 6 ,30 ml per 10L week 7 , 25ml per 10L week 8,15ml per 10L week 9, 0 per 10L week 10 250 ml Canna Rhizotonic (roots love this use this from start 20 ml per 10L and cut down after 4 weeks to 5ml per 10L up until week 9 250 ml Canna Cannazym ( breaks down dead roots, enzyme of some sort) 15ml per 10L from week 3 through to week 9 250 ml CannaBoost - (quite expensive but worth it, DWC will show you why) 15ml per 10L week 3 to 4 , 25ml per 10L week 5-9 250 ml Canna PK 13/14 (bud booster) this is optional because you only add it once,personally i add 15 ml per 10L in week 7 so its stays in for 10 days I leave my water for at least 24 hrs before using it, in a big old olive container i bought , i think its 225 L i might be wrong, but it was cheap , solid and had a top :) I check my water levels ,my PH and PPM daily 11) Jubilee clips x3 - to secure the fan ,filter and outlet.( 5 clips if using air cooled hood ) 12) Fans - i have 2 little fans and 1 big one = think about it, outside there is always good air flow - 13) Extractor fan -mine is 6 inch 14) Carbon Filter - mine is 6 inch im not overly impressed with any brand. 15) Ducting- 5m of 6 inch easy enough,well for me... 16) Ballast - LUMATEK -i found this one amazing and switchable. 17) Lightbulb -600w HPS ALL THE WAY but i would use 1000w HPS if i could keep the heat down, they both fit in same fitting 18) Air hood - i have a MAGNUM superXXXL it has screw in holders for glass , they are quite tight 19) Timer for lights , must be good quality , I do 17 hrs on 7 off as it's more natural 20) Syringes for measuring accurately 21) Bucket to mix solutions THE GOLDEN RULE - you can always put in but never take out - never put in too much or undiluted into the reservoir unless you really know what you are doing, less is better than too much . Ppm v EC - you may well buy an EC meter instead of ppm meter there is an easy way to convert between the two ~ 1.0 ec = 500 ppm EC multiply by 1000 then divide by 2 to get ppm This diary will start shortly but as so many people ask me how to setup HERE YOU GO :)

I start this in a "safe zone" of plain potting mix. It takes a little over a week for them to get into the pre mixed nutes. They should jump this week when they do. I got tired of waiting and watered them with 20ml liquid kelp, 20ml liquid fish, and 5ml molasses per gallon of ph 6 water. Roughly 2-1-1 to give them a boost on day 2 week 2. This week was a success. Pest have been controlled and the plants made progress. One plant gg4 #3 is behind the others. There's a tree top that throws shade on it for about 1.5 hours longer than the other two in the morning. This will be fixed for week 3. It's warmed up considerably with the day time temp reaching 90 plus f for day 6 and 7 of this week. This should really speed up the vegative growth.

Mein erster Auto Grow auf dem Balkon. Hatte einen Gratis Samen von 420 fast bud und bin schon richtig gespannt auf diese Pflanze. Habe mich für den Plagron Royalmix entschieden. Ganz unten im Topf habe ich Bad Mix von plagron genommen und als Drenage schicht am Boden habe ich Tongranulat genommen.

week 3 of flower looks like they are hungry. Last week I Lolly popped the bottom 1/3 of the plants for air flow and to push the energy to the tops. I have a theory that the potassium is low in the media due to flowering I was going to wait till the 4th week of flower to give them a topdressing. but I think I will mix some PK booster in the next watering and fertigate the pots from the top, so the plants have immediate access to the PK for flowering. let me know what you think after watching the video image section. take care for now,

Das Licht auf 250 Watt MH geändert. 2 von den 6 Pflanzen zeigten Mangelerscheinungen (ich denke Cal/Mag) da mit reinem Regenwasser + geringe Menge an Nährstoffen gegossen wurde. Jetzt ist das Wasser zum gießen halb Leitungswasser und halb Regenwasser, seitdem mit einem EC Wert von 0,4 keine Probleme mehr. Das Wachstum ist soweit aus meiner Sicht okay. Da ich aufgrund der Außentemperaturen und der geringen Wattleistung der Lampe noch nicht mit aktiver zuluft arbeiten kann, ist ein CO2 Beutel oberhalb des Ventilator aufgehängt. Mit einem CO2 Messgerät wurden 490 ppm an den Pflanzenspitzen gemessen......

Was a tough last few weeks lots of work to be done big problem with humidity finally sourced a good enough dehumidifier and added another 1200 light. Lemon skunks were suppose to be autos but no signs of flowering yet so I'm forcing them with 12/12. No room left in the tent now because photos are going into flower too

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil to be spread evenly on top of the soil. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 95°F with clear sunny skies. It was super hot today. I watered each pot 4-5 gallons twice. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 81°F with partly cloudy skies. The girls are still thirsty. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot once. These girls roots have tapped through these pots and into the soil. Unless it's just super hot watering once is enough. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 95°F. It felt like 97°F. We had super clear sunny skies. The girls are loving the sunshine and slightly less humidity. I watered twice @4-5 gallons per pot. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 90°F with super clear sunny skies. The temperature was more comfortable at 90° today because we had less humidity. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot from the well. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 83° with clear sunny skies. I watered 4-5 gallons once per pot. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 83° with clear sunny skies. I watered 4-5 gallons once per pot. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 79°F with clear sunny skies. I watered once 4-5 gallons of well water per pot. The girls are thirsty but the heat isn't sucking the water out of the pots. The girls are in full vegative phase 2 and continue to gain height. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 75°F with mostly sunny skies. I watered 4-5 gallons per pot once. This week was a great success. The girls really stretched. The middle height plant is at 102 inches. The tallest plant looks about 10"-12" taller. The weather was very pleasant. We had a few hot days but mostly cool fall type weather. The defoliation and treatment of powdery mildew with Growers Ally fungicide ended that problem. These plants do have a high level of resistance but not immunity. I'll continue to treat once a week. Most growers don't talk about their fungal pathogens or treatment of them. Outdoors, if your plants aren't immune (many fastbuds I've grown from seed have been) then this is an issue you'll deal with if you have cool humid nights. There are many treatments and preventatives and some are scarey. My grows are all organic and I carefully chose Growers Ally fungicide as I smoke these plants and don't want anything scarey in(systemic) or on them. Thabks for visiting my diary 🌱💚

I have transplanted these 3 girls into bigger fabric pots after they healed up a few days from topping.They have been doing great in the new pots even though I did lose some roots that grew thru the bottom of the air pots searching for water I didn’t remove 🤦‍♂️.So far so good and looking very healthy developing some colas :)

So this plant grew huge, was put in the ground at around 3 weeks old and she took of from there. I topped it around a week after she went in ground and believe it was the perfect time as all side branches shit up as well as the 2 main heads. Biggest auto I’ve done to date including any indoor. She didn’t get the attention it deserved and not much feed went into this plant she just lived of the soil and rain. Will certainly try this strain again. Well done to tastebudz for this amazing auto and big thank you to them for letting me try there strains! Happy growing🌱

Could have done a much better job overall but I'm pleased with it anyway as the plants produced some really nice smoke 🙌
