16.2.25:
I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage.
I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves.
However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining.
There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too.
I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it.
🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see.
I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients;
♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster
♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys
I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes.
18.2.25:
The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast!
Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above.
I watered a very small amount to each plant.
What I put in:
♡ Black strap molasses 150g
♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients.
I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4.
19.2.25:
I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately.
I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster.
I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing.
I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗
I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients:
♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A
♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B
♡ .5g Sea K(elp).
The plants drank this up within a few hours.
I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then.
20.2.25:
My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in.
I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in.
I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp).
I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂
So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons;
♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle
♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano
♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge
♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Week 1 Day 1 9/23/2023
I decided to go ahead and flip her to flower today, she had a stem past the net and high enough to super crop. Humidity was a little high so I added both Dehumidifiers to the tent and attached them to the InkBird.
Added:
36 gallons of Water
CALMag- .75mil/Gal
GH FLoraMicro-5.2mil/Gal
GH FlroaGro-4.3mil/Gal
GH FLroaBloom-5.2Mil/Gal
TPS SIGNAL- 1mil/Gal
ORCA-.5mil/Gal
Flipped the lighting to Flower 0800-2000, I filled with Week 1 flower Nutes, and I Super Cropped One of the Tops down.
Week 1 Day 2 9/24/2023
I cleaned my canopy today, by trying to look straight down and opening up as many Tops sites as I could see blocked by leaves directly above. This will be my life for the rest of Flower cleaning and clearing as well as ensuring no sucker buds.
Week 1 Day 3 9/25/2023
Today was one of those days where you can just sit back and look and enjoy some of the work you have put in. Today I just let her be..
Week1 Day 4 9/26/2023
I took the fan leaves that were blocking those beautiful bud sites from light.. Such will be my life every time I enter the tent for the rest of the grow. The clones all have roots coming from the rapid rooter, I am feeling really good that by Sunday they will be ready for selection and planting.
Week1 Day 5 9/27/2023
I did some extreme defoliation today I opened the tent and she was just sooo full.
Week1 Day 6 9/28/2023
I took a little from the inside and a few smaller inner stems.. I hate to take stems until after week 3 of growth to give each a chance to shoot up and hit the canopy.
Week1 Day 7 9/29/2023
Took a look from the underside to see how much light was penetrating the canopy and removed some leaves and stems that were blockers. Tomorrow will add 10 gallons and the Nutes.. that will be my last in between week fill before I start having to change weekly for the rest of the grow.

This little monster is shaping up nicely. This is the budget tent and she is directly under a single 60 watt HLG 3k panel now. There is a mars hydro 300 on the other side of this 2x4’. So far it looks like I’ve got 8 or 9 cola sites and I can’t wait for the stretch. My nutes are nectar for the gods organic and I’ve been giving her full strength veg on the intermediate schedule. Next watering I’ll switch up to the flower at half strength.
I’d like to note that I’ve also been using bloom khaos in that line as a foliage spray but like with my other diary I’ll probably have to finish with kool bloom powder to get any sort of swelling.

First time trying a main-line. I left four growth points so I wouldn't have to top again. Makes sense to me, but I'm not sure if that's proper or not. Looks great today, though.

The temperatures, humidity, 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.
Using 7.6 pH well water creates challenges in keeping iron, nitrogen, and phosphorus available to the plants. This soil is recycled and had a starting pH of 7.3-7.5. I added Diamond Brand Ferrous Sulfate at the above listed rate of 2.5 ml/gallon of soil. I distributed these granules evenly across the top of the soil. Adding this amendment acidifies the soil and provides a readily available and lasting iron supplement during veg. After adding the ferrous sulfate some small particles were splashed onto the leaves by the rain. These particles burnt the leaves and are the dark spots you see in the photos. Those dark spots turned into tears in the leaves as the high winds ripped through them.
The girls are showing a little excessive nutrient stress. I believe from the phosphorus in the Coop Poop. I've come to believe it runs higher than the advertised 4%. The higher soil pH exasperates this. As the ferrous sulfate works and these girls grow larger these issues will be solved.
Day 1 we had cooler temps, overcast skies, and showers during the morning and night. These continued early morning day 2. Followed by sunshine after noon on day 2. Early morning Day 3 at 2-3 a.m. we had thunderstorms that produced strong winds and very heavy rain for almost two hours.
Day 4, despite the 5% rain forecast, we had another thunderstorm producing heavy rain and strong wind followed by rain that evening.
Day 5 the plants had a respite. We had lots of sunshine and a lite breeze to dry the soaked soil out.
Day 6 we had more sunshine and breezy weather.
Day 7 more sunshine and excellent cannabis weather, not too hot and not too cold. I didn't water these this week as the rain was more than enough.
These girls are real tuff. The weather during their germination and first two weeks after planting was brutal. The high winds and heavy rain blasted the leaves and soaked the pots. These girls bent but didn't break. They look a little beat up from the weather, pH issues, and nutrients stress. This isn't ideal but in two weeks it will be a faded memory. Fastbuds can handle harsh outdoor conditions, minor user error, and still produce lots of beautiful buds. Follow and see for yourself.

Hi Growmies,
My apologies for the delayed update, but work life balance got a bit out of wack recently. Anyways, water was changed on time and general maintenance took place. Continued with very light defoliation to really guarantee that all the shoots get equal light exposure. She is turning out to be a real beauty and literally no Scr.O.G was necessary due to her natural structure. Buds are already forming very compact and dense to touch, something that’s always a good sign ;) Since this is my first proper DWC grow I am actually quite impressed by the root growth and the resulting nutrient uptake, as well as vigor in plant growth.
Is it btw just me or is this website getting slower, buggier and laggier by the day? Videos won’t upload, weeks don’t reflect, diaries won’t update….

FIRST DAYS
-------------
The girls tolerated the topping well; in three days, I found small bushy bushes in my tent.
So, a little mainlining to give them the desired shape, and a little splash of water with just Voodoo.
Tomorrow they will receive their 4ml Grow A+B, with 2ml B-52 this time.
PS: as you can see in the photo, a little mistake due to over-enthusiasm...
I damaged one, but the branch didn't break completely; a little bandage, we'll see if it recovers, if not it will do without that branch.
I've seen worse in a previous session, and it was my 3-branch plant that gave me the best harvest!

MIDWEEK
-----------
Two days after mainlining, it's time for the first defoliation.
I cut the “horizontal” sites, as I don't want branches growing in the center of the structure.
I'll leave them to rest now; I'll do some lollipopping when they've climbed.
+ I'll switch Voodoo to B-52.
PS:
- The damaged branch is not dead, but does not seem to be recovering; I will give it a few more days before deciding to cut it
- On the other hand, I had an unpleasant surprise: one of my other girls showed signs of wilting and browning on three of the four branches. I've never had that before... As with gangrene, I cut the three, hoping that the fourth will hold up. For her, I kept the middle sites + mainlining; if it works, I'll still have three branches.

This beauty is on autopilot at the moment. I’ve been watching the temps and doing what I can when I am home. It’s been soooo hot. My tent has been getting to 84 degrees regularly, I’m hoping that it won’t stress her out. I will be ordering a T8 in-line fan from AC infinity to accommodate the summer temps and RH and ensure good air circulation. Couple
Of weeks still to go, she is a 9-10 week strain , but she is definitely proving to be worth the extra time. Her colas are getting nice and fat, and should be a good producer for me.

First week in flower ended with some training yesterday and a feeding.
I've been focusing on more regular feedings at smaller amounts and she has responded well.
Her stalk is getting massive and she's recovered from a slight N deficiency 1 week prior to going into flower.
---------------
Week 2 was just feeding and regularly rotating the plant. Doubled in size over the week and about 2 weeks shy of next defoliation.
She is starting to become more fragrant and she's drinking up water pretty quick I water about .5gal every day at the moment feeding smaller amounts but more frequently.
----------
Week 3 was a regular feeding schedule and some defoliation.

Plants are doing well, The 84" inch tent is a must if your not training or topping. I removed all the sacks that appeared last week and I haven't seen anymore show up so fingers cross, I check daily. Bigger tent also helps with heat control as the air has more room to rise. Hope you all like the pictures, I started to take videos as they provide more detail with less work.

day 30 video day 30 note crossed bridal party x pink paradise
day 31 crossed blackberry oreo bigstuff x pink paradise
day34 videos of each, a lot of photos. Rh% high I keep my terps non-volatile. Bridal rubbing sugar leafs smells like some sort of candy watermelon, blackberry neat skunky AF sugar leaf rub, pink is nice mellow I will have to check tomorrow. Dr. Thunder very oily with sugar leaf rub I swear you could deepfry with it. It also smells mellow skunky but will check again tomorrow it may have been terps overload on my fingers regarding thunder and pink paradise aromas. Pink caylaxes have shriveled and accepted pollen locations. I just don't think the seeds will be ready when harvesting in a few weeks. Start week 5 tomorrow and I don't think crosses will be ready so I will figure it out. Pink crosses would be fun next round but I have so many more selections to choose from to grow my next 4.Thunder smells like a citrus cleaner, almost pineapple front notes then a full citrus.
day35 defoliated like madd. no lie so sticky: 2 fingers lifted a ceramic cup like I was spiderman. 1 finger was a struggle.. science

Buds are growing day by day. The smell is still weak but very pleasant. We are halfway through the flowering, so the final countdown to the final cut down will begin soon 😎

I found out that I have to go out of town when I had planned on harvesting. So I did it a few days early. This plant has been a blast to grow. I was a little worried at first because she just wouldn't put on any inches. The plant only reached about 12 inches in 2 months. However, after the that she grew like crazy. It could have been due to my inexperience. I guess we will have to see on the next grow. I still have 5 more seeds of this plant. She flowered in about 9 weeks. Big fat dense colas. The next time around I need to pay better attention to the little scrubby side shoots. There were a lot of them. I ended up with about 60 grams of larf because of it. I should have done a better job of defoliating before flower and I should have kept her colas clear of the dense foliage. Having said that, she turned out a ton of bud!
Wet weight count:
Clone 1 - 179g
Clone 2 - 163g
Mother - 586g
Total - 994g
I will come back next week and update this with some more pictures and final dry weight.000

End of Week 6 of flower
All seems ok
Would have began flushing this week
but not going to, she doesn't look ready for that
