Officially week 7 Dec 31: Came back a week later to very heavy pots, needed 36 hour drying period, not happy, smaller plant has tips of leaves curling down, some like taco, dryed out the pots and went back to normal conservative feeding, need to fine tune the auto irrigation setup before I use it again for sure. All in all, nothing crazy happened. Really cool to see a plant be small, but way bigger after a week of vacation. First grow seems to be going pretty good! PS: I think my hygrometer is broken, saying 85-100% RA even when I significantly improve airflow and it doesn't seem anywhere near that. Gonna do the salt paste test on the hygrometer . Jan 1: I recalibrated my hygrometer and it’s working great, weird leaf curling of smaller plant still happening but seems to be improving, big plant is frosty and fat for week 7, seems to be at same stage in development as smaller plant but the pheno is beautiful.

Lots of growth over the last week. She's doubled in overall size. Hope she'll start flowering very soon. Can't see any pistils yet though. The colas are bulking out and there seems to be plenty of possible bud sites. I'll be keeping a very close eye on her this week and keeping fingers crossed for pistil growth. Little sister is aiming for the stars. She is very tall now in comparison (35cm vs 22cm) and is starting to fill out with foliage.

Harvest for top buds which are already done ❤️ smell is strong sour/fruit/sweet. The rest of the plants i will leave in tent to be ready for harvest in few days... I will leave sugar leaves on for few days and then do the trimm work. Buds are rock hard and covered with trichomes!

So these girls are now under their fc3000 and plodding along without issues allthough I have done absolutely no training at all with these girls they are doing just fine. Now entering week 8 I'll be putting them into a more spacious space over this coming week and take a good look at these girls see if anything needs a tidy up and post some better lower images 💚

Obama runtz x gas tax sad to say both seedlings are super crappy so far. If it was not for the gas tax parent being the best flower ever then I wld just toss these but sometimes the crappy slow growing plants end up being super dank It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

5/7 Week 3! This is our first CBD Crack grown in coco and she is showing wonderful color, form, and size for only 14 days up. Very happy with this so far even if the delay does present some issues. She just so pretty! 5/9 She is just exploding, a full inch of height and girth in one day. No hairs yet, increasing nuets tomorrow 20%. 5/10 Nuets increased Raised her base up to get better light, think she has fully acclimated by now. 5/11 She has grown another node and another inch in one day! The reward for what we did yesterday, she wanted more light and nuets. Will leave things as they are for now. 5/12 Just call her "Inch a Day" a that is her growth rate. Training her today, Pony Tailing LST First hairs visible so folding in a light dose of Bloom 5/13 10 inches wow First cycle of pony tailing was productive though she still tacked on over an inch in 24 hrs. Secondary growth tips grew a lot during the process and expect tonight to be even more productive. Node spacing is about one inch so perfect now

As you can see from the third picture on day 29 she is looking a little ugly and unkept. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing or something I need to take action on. Advice would be great. So day 30 rolling around. Decided I had to try LST again. She felt more receptive to being bent over today as well. I mainly had to attempt it for space reasons. With the current covid panic all the markets where I buy my buckets from are closed and I can't procure a new one to increase my height for probably a couple of weeks at this rate so LST was my only option. She seems to have taken well to it and I will upload a finished picture of her shortly. Day 32, watered and fed her. 500ml of water plus .3ml each of fox farm trio. Hoping to see her perk up a bit. Concerned about the large brown spot on one of her leaves which made me think she was having a deficiency? Probably a bit early to worry about buds fattening up also but I am worried they are looking a bit airy at the moment on the non main cola sites. I'm not sure if my LST was effective at tricking her into trying to have more than one top cola? Day 33. No noticeable gains today, at least to my eyes. I can spot a little nute burn perhaps but hopefully nothing too serious. Looks like a cola that isn't the original top is starting to fill out just as much, if not more, than the original top though. Hoping they all catch up at a similar pace to each other and reduce the pop corn nug potential! Day 35. She has shown a few more bud sites since last post. I am worried that she is going to produce a fair bit of larf/popcorn bud and wanted to know how to get rid of that? I am not confident to remove any growth without knowing for sure it has a beneficial impact on the overall health of the plant and the final results. Any advise is appreciated. She also seemed a bit thirsty to me. The leaves were feeling a bit thin and dry so I gave her 1L of water with .7ml each of fox farm trio. Hopefully she responds well. I will check her in an hour or so to see if the leaves are starting to point back up - fingers crossed.

Ok just finnished a blunt of this a out an hour ago, and I do not smoke blunts lol But it seems only right too do a real smoked reveiw , So the fbt7 has been dry now for about 2 weeks and in a jar and today was the day too take the first bud too try so I rolled a fat one " fat one in photos lol , So for me the flavour just isn't there yet and am hoping that will come after a cure , So I smoked this all too my self and qiukly , Within a few minutes I went white as a ghost as was twitching the the corner hehehe, This is very strong bud and I would go as far as saying it's probably the strongest bud I've had in years , I am what I would describe as a joker smoker , as I turn my bud into oils and do not smoke it , But any serious cannabis smoker will absolutely love this strain , Well done fast buds and thank you :)

* Early in the week I spent some time removing smaller fan leaves in the middle of the canopy. My goal has been to allow as much direct light to the bud sites as possible. * I've been working from home a lot more so I have been able to keep the PH on point fairly consistently. * The buds are really starting to fatten up and I've been noticing more hairs turning orange. Probably still at less than 5% overall orange so a long ways to go still. Pineapple Express #1 continues to impress. The buds are getting FAT!!! I can't wait to hold them in my arms. The lower sugar leaves have so much sugar on them that I literally panicked thinking I had a mold problem. On closer inspection is just solid crystals. I added a photo (maybe I'm exaggerating just a tad but see for yourself). Pineapple Express #2 is starting to pick up steam but it is the furthest behind. And I am thinking that might be for a reason if it keeps growing like is has been. I was taking a few leaves off and got to smell the trichomes, and I am telling you this smells like the best fruity pebbles you've ever had. I took 2 clones from her and both are looking great, so this won't be the last of her. Pineapple Skunk is middle of the road. It is further ahead than the others as the orange hairs are probably right at 5-10%. The buds are starting to get fatter and they are full of trichomes. I haven't been able to isolate a smell from her yet but there is a lot of competition in that tiny box. I think this one will yield a little less than the others but there are still many weeks to go so we'll see. Thanks for stopping by!

2022-02-05, Day 33: The Right has a solid 10cm advance over the left one, i'm guessing this is because of the failed FIMming (too little).

She grew another 17cm this week! 145cm tall!!!!!!!!! She is totally out of headroom now, her top cola is through the lights and getting close to the roof of the tent 😅 Fastbuds do say it can reach 1.4M... 😁 It's accurate, she is a MONSTER of a plant. This week I have done a quick video showing the result of my experiment a few weeks ago where I FIMed a couple of side branches. Take a look 😃 Nothing else to the report as I'm just letting her do her own thing. For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 powder mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water.

The previous two dried and smoked lol There are 3 plants left on the site, they need about 7 to 10 more days, 2 days ago he was with them end of the 10th week. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

Chugging along here now, half way through flower I suspect, still learning as I go, hopefully she will fatten up real big, but realistically just want to be done now, taking so long!!

Lamp Brightness: 100% @ 16" - estimated 914 PAR (top of GMO 2/back left) Waterings only, daily crop steering - reduced water temp + dry down periods IPM once-a-week visual inspection - no foliar applications notes: harvest likely next week (after 12 weeks flowering) trichome check - showing little signs of amber looks like they could go longer but another week I feel is sufficient smell has largely stayed the same for a few weeks if anything just more complexities

So I started germinating my seeds with the cup of water method on the morning of the 25/04/20 on that same day I filled up small 9cm pots with John inns #1 for seedlings and gave it a soak through and left too sit in garden. I then this morning 27/04/20 removed all my seeds from there cups as they had all cracked and slightly shown tap roots. so I got them potted up and out in the garden however today’s weather has went slightly downhill compared too the recent weeks but I have great confidence they will be sweet. I’m going too repot in about 2 weeks time into 14 litre pots with some John inns #3 if I can get my hands on some multi purpose compost them I’m going too do a 50:50 mix as have read the John inns is good but can be abit hard upon watering and what not. So that could be an idea I know they don’t generally like repotting but so long as done at the right time “not too early or late” then they shouldn’t have too many issues with there transition. I have chosen too use fast buds as have a mate who grows them indoors and never failed too impress me with the flowers. Ideally these will stay outside 24/7 so they are instantly used too the changes in temp etc I feel bringing them in and outside can cause them too stress too much. So let’s see how we go. This evening I have moved them inside my shed so it’s stays the same rough temp as it’s due too rain heavy from 2am and don’t want too risk drowning the seeds out before they have even had a chance lol 28/04/20 update: so I have awoken this morning too the heavens falling so I’m really torn about bringing the autos back out right now I don’t want too fuck it up as right now is crucial so I have put them under a led light just too give them that little push start soon as they bust through the soil they going back outside 29/04/20 checked on them this morning just shy of 48 hours from potting and still nothing broken the soil.. starting too worry man hope I haven’t messed it up. 30/04/20 ayyyy what a good morning it is indeed 5 of 8 are coming up out the soil.. lunchtime update because I’m checking them like every hour🤣 6 out of 8 are up and out or just on the verge 01/05/20 not much more going on they definitely have grown some more as for my situation with outside weather due too get better but I have had the light on 24/7 now since they been inside so think mabye I should start cutting down how much light they are getting in a day so it’s not such a shock when they have too go all night outside. Also think we have lost one of the c4’s as the shell was stuck and I tried too help her out and she pulled out the soil😫 so I just kind of repotted it and hoping for the best but don’t think she going too pull through the rest looking find though luckily enough I got 2 c4’s on the go 02/05/20 yeah this morning I woke up too find that one dead and done for i had a feeling I had killed her slightly upset but not going too dwell on it.. on a positive note sun is out all day today and due too be lovely and warm here on out so they will probally stay outside now but will bring in at night as this morning cars were frozen so it’s still slightly too cold at night for sure... evening update we lost the west coast og also and I know why I lost them both my sprayer wasn’t working and like a idiot I watered them when they was undersoil still only lightly but the c4 bean and the wc og came to top as they wasn’t far enough in and they must have been done for from that moment can only be that as rest are sweet however I can’t believe it so I ph checked my water after giving them it too start and that because I was still waiting for my ph down too come and turns out my tap water is around 8 so I’m suprised any of them made it😮 but thankfully ph down has arrived and we are getting there 6 left but they are the chosen ones I guess you going too win some and loose some. Also tonight they about too deal with all night in the dark and then that’s how they are going too be from here on out nomore 24/7 light going too put them inside with led on still still a little later then sun down as I won’t be up at 5:30 when sun comes up... 05/05/20 so I have finally got a plan I’m sticking too and it’s working just a treat atm the weather is much nicer and sunnier now so the been bringing them out every morning leaving them Out all day then around 7pm roughly been taking them inside the tent into darkness leave them till around 10/11pm then I been turning the led on and leaving them under her for the night then straight back outside soon as it hits about 7:30am i started with just A hour of darkness one night then 2 then next then 4 then before they stay out all night for first night they will get about 5 hours darkness inside as outside it’s gunna be around 6 hours and I don’t want them too be shocked by it as started them off with pretty much 24/7 lights however since giving them darkness they have started growing a lot better and smoother think 24 hours of constant light is just abit too much they need time too rest and what not, watering with small amount of vitalink soil grow literally 0.5 ml a litre I also have some root fast by another company which I Have added a half measure in too help give her a start no signs of stress they seem too have loved the little feed so will be continuing the same measurements for about a week unless they start all a sudden booming up then I’ll up the feed just all trial and error and just having a bit of fun with it. 6 days out the soil now nearly onto week 2.... excited too say the least

Mild nitrogen toxicity still in effect from a couple weeks ago, leaves showing a deep green with a bit of waxiness to the shine and tell tale curl under. New growth seems to be growing normally however, so the past couple flushes seem to be helping. Bud development is slow while stem growth is advancing pretty rapidly, relatively so. Just waiting a few more days to start adding GHE micro & bloom nutes with a very minimal (.5 ml) amount of floragro and armor si.

Day 49 - Have been having a bit of a high humidity problem in the tent but will be getting a new dehumidifier soon to keep that under control but over all these ladies are growing beautifully & seem to be very healthy! I am extremely impressed at how well they are doing with little to no nutrients, the buds are starting to get thicker & put on some frost! Make sure to check back for more updates, thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱
