Vegetation Week 16: Heatwave Endurance & Growth Surge Update: 03.07.2025 | Day 118 Hey Growmies, Week 16 tested limits with scorching temps, but the ladies laughed at 37°C. Growth went into hyperdrive – here’s the breakdown: Heat Response - Survived 37°C peaks without stress signs (no wilting, no leaf curl). - Vertical explosion: ~20cm growth across both plants this week. New feeding mix: - 1 Biotab dissolved in 1.5L water → 50ml of this concentrate per 10L water + Bokashi juice. Result: Deep green vigor, zero deficiencies. Strain-Specific Updates Durban Poison: - Now towering with explosive branching (new shoots from every main stem). - Still vegging – no flowers yet. Easily clearing 170cm, on track for 2m+. - Low odor (neighbor-friendly for now). Bud potential looks massive. Blueberry: - Healthy at 170cm but less dense than Durban. - No pistils yet, no heat stress. Hopes high for autumn purples. - Structure balanced and robust. Pest & Health Check - Zero issues. Leaves pristine top to bottom. Next Steps - Monitor flowering triggers (daylight still 15 hours). - Continue Biotab/Bokashi mix weekly. - Prepare taller supports for Durban’s final stretch. Week 16 Takeaway Genetics + adaptiveness = unstoppable growth. Durban’s a jungle queen, Blueberry a steady grower. Some rain would be good te rehydrate the soil. Catch ya next week my friends. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Looking at her, you'd say she grew more than 4cm higher... But that's all the vertical height she grew this week. But she got loads bushier!!!!!!! Hopefully she's building roots for her future!

I have grow 3 plants . number one 5 gallon smart pot. number two in a 3 gallon smart pot .and number three in a 5 gallon smart pot part of the difference between number two is because of limited space to grow big root system to support a bigger plant. They have been a very enjoyable plant to grow with an incredibly powerful smell impossible to grow stealth unless you have a good carbon filter can wait two post weight for each plant and to have a test smoke I Will Wait approximately between 7 to 14 days until the main stem snaps and a crunchy sound tell me they're ready then I check for dry weight and them jar them for curing. Day 9 off drawing and I pull out a branch to have a smoke test it is incredibly potent and a wonderful smoke despite not being cure it's very smooth but they're not ready for me to jar them I don't like to deal with mold or being opening the jars every few hours that's why I dry it thoroughly and use humidity packs so I don't have to deal with issues after weight and them jar them for curing. This are the weight plant number one 156. 36 grams and number two 76. 88 grams plant #3 72.12 grams. Already had a smoke tester this stuff its a couchlock beautiful lovely smoke come by a powerful High I recommend this train to anybody who can accommodate for the strong odour. lovely strain I want to try this one again it is like I citric skunk smell very pleasant and Powerful. I was very surprised how heavy and thick the buds were in the small plant compared to the others what an incredible nice plant to grow. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Not going to grown this one so soon. There are plenty of better option from this seed bank. Could not reach buds as good as they ones from hulkberry. It's a bigger plant with more banana like buds and not so dense and round. But still a strong high and enjoyable smoke.

It just goes to show great results can come from Autoflowering plants ! This is a incredible strain plenty of taste and smell. With a lovely relaxed stone great for anytime of the day ! But smoke to much and you will feel sleepy ! Great strain helps me sleep and feel relaxed ! Big smile on my face when I smell the buds crushed up in the Grinder 🔥🔥💨💨 zambeza seeds have got some fire at amazing prices !!🔥🔥💚

Day 35: Good say growmies. I hope we are all well in these odd times. The ladies have been very busy this week with plenty of action on the L.S.T training and constant resetting of the stakes to hold them down. Rhe only girl that won't be trained is the sweet cheese. I am curious to see how she does on her own as she has lots of growth tips poking out all over main. She is still low to the pots surface and only about 10 inches at the moment. Most of that has come about from this last week. She is still only displaying her sex pistils ( no not the band!) , at present but is approx 1 week behind the other plants. Gorilla Girl #3 is doing well and not showing any issues. I did snap her main at the 4th node while doing the video but am hoping she can offer some repair time to the clean snap with my quick repair job..( ooops). Thankfully it is where she would have been topped anyway so the two nodes have now got a chance to flourish more. Gorilla Girl #2 is still the biggest of the group and has been pushing all her stakes out with her strength. She is in flower now without doubt but only by a few days. I am hoping the stretch period will boost her height now too. she has a lot of growth tips to become buds too. Gorilla Girl #1 is chasing the #2 for top dog and looks good. she has also just about started to show flowers properly now too. I expect she will put a lot more growth on before she settles into her mid flowering so I have high hopes for this lady. Gorilla Girl #4 Still the smallest of the bunch but I have given her a nice bend to help get her lower limbs active and wanting.. The whole group had a full watering to runoff a few days ago and so far , are more than happy to be left alone a few more days. Be safe and well

2 Girls 1 Cup week 9? Short term memory loss is a m'fer... *edit* i have talked directly to quite a few suppliers/vendors/etc... and i can tell you FastBuds is a great company to do business with. im not licking boots here... i paid for my beans, and am loving these FastBuds genetics so far. JUST LOOK AT IT! a little short, but i think thats my fault from around the day 21ish mark if ya look back in the diary. i told myself i wasnt going to run any more autos, unless it was some odd occasion. but IF i do in the future... it WILL be FastBuds. unless this pink runtz i have ends up being an auto, and if it is.. im going to off the fucker lol. Day 56- GC is trying to catch up. I think stabbing the main helped a lil lol. Few random plucks on WG tonight, and don't even want to start on GC for now. May clean it up a bit later depending on how the back feels. It's got a ton of branches that are going to be too close REAL soon. Kinda f'd GC off over a week ago, and said I'd run it again in the future to make up for it. So not too pressed on how it looks, as long as it stays alive until WG chopping day. Atleast it wasn't a male 🤣. Anyway, bumped the girls up to the "aggressive" mid bloom GHE feed. Using TAP water to reduce the amount of calmag needed since mine has N in it.. Breakdown as follows: 5gal TAP water - 137ppm 15mL calmag - up to 252ppm 10mL hydroguard Micro- 33mL Grow- 33mL Bloom- 47.5mL RES total after PH correction - 818 @ 5.91. ============================================================================================= Day 57- I REALLY need to cut back GC... like yesterday... backs been hurting something fierce, and I'm out of my medicine of choice ATM. few random plucks on WG today. may make my way in there again later and start hacking away at GC. will update pic if I do. They're both liking aggressive feed, maybe a touch too heavy on the N though. *edit* 🎶oops, i, stabbed it again...🎶 lol. still feel there's a branch that's gotta go. Started pulling WG out some to help expose lowers. Need more garden wire for sure ============================================================================================= Day 58- cut back GC even more.. we'll keep it alive, but I'll make sure it doesn't block the beloved WG. remember, there will be a list of things I learned I did WRONG in this experiment and will share at the conclusion. Trimmed up WG little bit later in their morning. Top view pic is after the small defol. Some fans only had the middle finger snipped, to be on the safe side. Progress seems slow on WG atm, but it's getting ready to fatten up and mature. ============================================================================================= Day 59- i just cut back GC AGAIN!!! like HALF of its branches, and cut all the tops to the same length before snapping todays pic. after comparing 58 to 59's pic... it STILL looks like it grew.. WTF... that things confused ASF or something... just dont herm on me... WG finish is right around the corner.. a few weeks... hang in there GC... hang in there... ive been topping off with 80% strength nutes and RO water, and the EC has remained pretty consistent. may bump em up one more time for WG next week to help fatten her up some. right before we dial it all back for the end. WG already looking pretty frosty, and the weatherman is predicting some more in the next weeks. *edit* added a night vid to show my WG defol struggles. Its easier to see why the foliage looks so thick and it needs a trim when lights on when you see lights off.. We're down to a few fans towards the bottom to help out down there. Rest are connected to bud sites, and are limited. May need to add a small fan blowing up WG skirt soon. ============================================================================================= Day 61- nothing really to report. tried to kill the ice probe, and put frozen 1L bottle (in 12hr rotations) to see how it performed. i think 61.2 is a little too cold for my liking, and one morning i woke the temp was over 71.. the roots are messing with the flow and the water isnt getting chilled as much with the probe. problem ive been facing for the last week or so. ice probe back in, and warming up the tent with its exhaust again.. should fab up a duct system for a 3d printer... ideas... tinkercad here we go.. ============================================================================================= Day 62- kinda feel bad for leaving GC out of the shot yesterday. Since she's riding along in this experiment... added her back today. WG is starting to phase 2. Her finish is coming within the next 2-3 weeks I'm guessing. Maybe 4? We'll see what tricomes say when the time gets closer. ============================================================================================= Been offered a cut off a custom strain that looks and tastes AMAZING! i know i may have mentioned pink runtz or amnesia lemon next... but i dont think i can pass up this opportunity.. will mention more about it, its name, etc etc when the time gets nearer.. As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow experiment. Link to YT vid of the day 27 on timelapse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJO-eTeyyEU

Sun and Summer finally arrived with 35ºC at the moment. Since 2 days ago, the plant is growing new leaves and the buds are turning into branches again... Feeded with flower nutes.. Cut 2 branches and put it in a ph 7 water, tiny roots are developing as you can see in pictures, i know is not the best clonning method but im experimenting, as this is the way i do it with normal plants.

We are reaching the end, the buds are heavy and the smell is delightful. The trichomes look alright, I will harvest next week. Can't wait any longer to be honest.

Grow diary 11 Stage 4 Days 31-40 Day 31 Turned power up to 85% on the mars hydro ts1000. Mines one of the old ones you need to stick a screw driver in to alter it. Day 36 Removed the single finger fan leaves and the 1st 3 fingered leaves. Day 39 Removed the 4 fan leaves from where she was topped last week. The start of this stage we hit a heat wave, day after day of heat. I had my humidifier on most of the 9 days. The tent didn't hit the temps I thought it would so that means I have my loft under a bit better control. The plant really kicked into gear this week, around day 34 she started to explode in growth. So far I have only done some lite defoliation by removing some of the 1st leaves that weren't getting any light anymore. I think the kosher cake is the 2nd nicest looking one in the grow. TEMP Max 32.2 Avg 26.5 Min 21.9 Humid Max 71.2% Avg 58.4% Min 50.3% VPD Max 2.32 Avg 1.44 Min 0.85

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. 🌿

L'unico problema al momento è il ph che ogni giorno salta di 1 punto in più...da 5.9/6.0....a 7 anche 7.3... Nuovo problema: devo mettere un altra pietra porosa ad ossigenare il secchio principale,in modo che i residui non si fermino sul fondo vaso dello stesso... Ok tutto fatto...ho aggiunto una piccola pompa d'aria al vaso centrale.... altro ossigeno oltre che smuovere con le bolle il fondo...😉 Si è alzato un po' E..ora è a 0.8...mentre il ph si è stabilizzato sui 5.9-6.0

Did another light defol, top dressed with 284,wc’s, and build a flower. I removed the trellis because I didn’t like not being able to move the girls around so I hope the silica does what it’s supposed to. The buds are starting to thicken up so stay tuned 🤞🏾

Hello growmigos I don't think she is gonna finish off. The weather has really come in it's cold and wet and I think I'm either going to have a Hermie bush of pollinated hash material or I will have a putrid soggy mess of rot.. Maybe I am being too pessimistic but that's how itt feels. I put her in way too late but such is life. The good news is she smells divine filling my garden with a kinda White widow citronella smell. Frost is not an issue either as she is stacking piles of this too. I have noticed an ant best nearby tried to use my lady to farm some aphids.. but they are not foliar with this species of plant and her resin so now I have hundreds of ant corpses stuck to the frost..🤣🤣 She will need a bath. That's all really will just keep an eye and if she looks like she's going south I will just chop her and bubble what we get. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe 😷😷 Grow well 🌿🌱🌼

hi guys, This strain is fast becoming a fat lady😃💪 I love the smell, it reminds me of lemon and orange now with that touch of "fizz" if you know what i mean👍 .... it forgives mistakes (I gave her a little too much .. so she got burned a bit ...😐 she does not like much fertilizer .... very surprising .... noticed for the next time👆 ... but otherwise everything looks pretty good .. let's see how long she still grows, since she already looks premature .... because of this year's heat wave, all my plants have had problems in the root zone. these problems are now unfolding their effect .. the root zone has taken so much damage that the roots can no longer properly feed the plant, resulting in finishing wayyyy too fast ... shit happens The resin production is of the hook and she is producing more and more😍 The grow: ph 5.8 Ec.0.9 i will lower it to 0.8 and inrease N a bit at the same time RHD:45% very good for this stage.. have a nice one people till next week

buds starting to get shape and trichs coming in nice. the blueberry muffin has such a unique berry pastry smell. no dank weed smell at all. the khalifa mintz x (bcc x jealousy) is still pretty gassy, with stronger fruit profiles on both strains now that the buds are starting to get fuller. update in a bother 2-3 weeks lol.
