11/15 - Day 43 - I've changed the light schedule on the timer from 20/4 to 18/6. I will be heading out of town for 10 days on December 25th and so I'll need to harvest and hang to dry by the 24th at the latest. I've read in a few forums that decreasing the lights on/lights off ratio can speed flower maturation on auto-flowers. The other growers also mentioned that the decrease in light also reduces yields, but on such a tight timeline I'd trade total yield for more fully ripened buds any day of the week. Would certainly be interested if anybody has experience/knowledge that contradicts what I've read. Plants stretched another 2 inches in the last 24 hours putting them 22 inches from the light. I still have room to raise my light another 2 inches, but if these girls stretch more than 6 more inches they'll be < 18 inches from the light which I'm assuming would cause light burn based on the research i've done on this 600W ViparSpectra reflector series. Here's hoping they don't stretch more than 6 inches from here. 11/17 Day 45 - Haircut day. Left a few fan leaves on the shorter/lower shoots, but took almost everything else. Tallest tops had stretched another 4 inches in the past 48 hours, and were 18 inches from the light. I raised the light the final 2 inches I had available, which places it back to 20 inches from the tallest bud sites. Hopefully the haircut I gave the plants slows down the stretch, but either way it looks like I'll have to do a lot of retraining before I head out of town tomorrow for 5 days. 11/18 Day 46 - Fed nutes. Cal mag + advanced nutrients (micro, grow, bloom), and MKP. 4 Litres of water per plant. A lot of runoff in the saucers, but I'm out of town for the next 5 days so I'm leaving it to be absorbed throughout the week.

After Input from the Community I've Decided on NO Nutrients for a few Days to let Her Recover from Her Suspected Nitrogen Toxicity. If She Recovers like I Hope She'll get One more Feeding of Beastie Bloomz only before a Final Flush as I Suspect only a Few Weeks before She's ready to Harvest.

Very fast seedling process, seeds stayed soaking for 24h and in the water they were already showing the first white root hair, another 48h in the paper towel and the day I potted them up they showed cotyledons. They took around 11 days to reach third node and complete germination but honestly I belive it could be faster if in better enviroment, mainly the humidity which was low and I transplanted them a day late. From day 5 I started feeding them exact same nutrients and ratio from the first vegetative week but starting at 0.4EC and increasing by 0.1EC/day until 1.1EC

Start of the week my first grow light arrived! I got it setup right away and then decided to transfer them into a bit bigger pots. 2 were still looking terrible and 2 were doing okay. One was tall and straggly so I had to try to prop it up after I transferred it. I placed them in a closet and then periodically checked on them throughout the week. A few days into the week I realized how bad the growlight I had ordered actually was. So it was time to decide.. option 1 was to let the plants just try to survive outside. Option 2 was order a better light and return this one. Option 3 was purchase a tent setup with light. After a bunch of research I decided on spider farmer and ordered a kit from them! (https://www.spider-farmer.com/?ref=Bigbuds420) to receive 3% off. The kit was set to arrive in a week. The decision was made to keep them as indoor. 2 would be outdoor, 2 in the tent.

Germination 27 September 2023 Heya 🤙👍🤙🌱🌱🌱 Winter has come and gone. The sun is out after a heavy stormy weekend it's finally time to start Germination. I have been extremely lucky, privilege and blessed to be here right now in my life. Start of a new season have been itching deep in my bones since a week after my first harvest. Let's see what the hype on Fastbuds420 delivers. In the heart of a humble garden, a miraculous journey is about to unfold. Beneath the soil's dark, nurturing embrace, a seed lies dormant, awaiting the precise moment to burst forth into life. It is a marvel of nature, a tiny capsule of potential, encoded with the blueprints of the plant it aspires to become. As the heavens open, raindrops penetrate the earth, quenching the thirst of the soil and signaling to the seed that its time has come. The seed absorbs this life-giving moisture, swelling as it takes in water. It's as if the seed is awakening from a long slumber, stretching its embryonic limbs for the very first time. Within this subterranean realm, the seed's outer coat softens, and a tiny rootlet begins to emerge. This is the radicle, the seed's first root, and it instinctively knows to journey downward, anchoring itself into the soil. It is the plant's lifeline, seeking out water and nutrients essential for growth. Simultaneously, a delicate shoot, known as the plumule, makes its way upwards, drawn by an invisible force towards the sky. It is a daring expedition, fraught with obstacles, as it navigates through the soil. Yet, guided by an innate sense of direction, it perseveres. Finally, breaking through the soil's surface, the shoot unfurls its first leaves, miniature versions of what they will one day become. These are the cotyledons, a pair of leaves that have been stored within the seed, packed with nutrients to sustain the young plant in its earliest days. As the sun's rays touch these fledgling leaves, photosynthesis begins. It's a momentous occasion, the plant's first breath, as it converts sunlight into energy. The seedling, still fragile yet full of promise, has successfully embarked on the first chapter of its life. From here, it will face countless challenges and opportunities, but for now, it stands as a testament to the remarkable resilience and complexity of nature. Thanks for reading!!🤙👍🤙🌱

I have problems with her. I think it's because of the local water. the earth is not fertilized with any product. only earthworm humis.

Planta hermosa, por problemas de respaldo no tengo sus fotos finales y es una pena :( pero puedo decirles que es una planta que rinde bien, entrega frutos de calidad y no es para nada exigente.

Weather is getting hotter and hotter every day now and will be for another couple of months, so it's going to be a hot harvest... Temps getting close to 90°F now every day for a couple of hours... Plants seem pretty happy so far, taking the heat, hopefully they won't stress too much over that... Flowers getting FAT, QUICK. Need to get some sticks for support for the taller plant. Im feeding almost nothing this week, mostly just plain water. They did get a worm castings top dressing a week ago, along with some diatomaceous earth, and that should be kicking in about this week... My FoxFarm Trio is almost empty , so i will make it last until the end. Pretty happy with this grow, my best so far, and the easiest too... I do have better gear now though... Specially the dehumidifier.... Now im going into the weeks that always kill me with mold. The difference is, now i have a proper dehumidifier and mold should get under control, so i can really explore the 8th and 9th week in flower... Let's hope it works out well Plants smell and look awesome.

Ok guys was down with a bug, hope to be getting over it barring some weird turn. 4/5 Pics of all Ok this is what we have to work with on this grow, one looks perfect, another a bit light, one super small from a small seed, and the twin. Ahh not what we had in mind but its enough 😎 Going to have reevaluate the seed situation as using more than had planned, looks like it will take a planned 6 seeds to make a good grow. Please no more seed give-aways it really effects the quality. 4/6 Excuse my aggravation, lot going on but still... Ok have two possible failures here. Mary may be genetically faulty as well as it remains small as crap. Doubt if she makes much of anything but am more than willing to be wrong as hell but dont think so. Sally... well Sally has split personality, think we will snip the small twin it has no growth tip. Really needed four good plants dang it. Increased nuets slightly 4/7 Two feedings with Recharge just to try and get some life into these girls. Not going on the list just a try to kick start some enzymes. Mary is worrisome and I may turn Sally over to my wife she is pretty good with these odd birds. We decided to let the small thing stay dont want to cause any rotting in the medium. Re-eval later Athena and Baba doing ok Seeing some results from the Recharge Vid 4/8 Good results on the Recharge with Athena, Baba, and Sally but Mary continues to be a project. She will be getting only H2O2 and water every other feeding (once a day) to try and get her going. Its the end of my tool kit so hope it works. We will be popping another seed on 4/20, the Fast Buds 20-1 CBD under my wife's diary, HisHope. She will be doing that one entirely by her hand and she has learned a LOT. So looking to be able to sit back and watch her for a while 😎 4/9 The two large girls are doing fine. Baba is Beautiful I have seen these light leaves, Sally and Athena, on LSD-25 in the past. As long as they are growing well there is no issue. Not a good sign nor is it really bad either Mary is on her own feed, propping her up with H2O2 and begun light feeding again at every irrigation. No idea what to do next, did not respond to recharge, and kangaroots did not seem to help so I am down to H2O2 4/10 Sally's Twin has a growth tip so we will have to expect to deal with it as things grow. Mary is responding so the little project may make it after all. Three bigger girls looking good! 4/11 The bigger girls are into their first growth spurt so everyone got a big dose of FishSh!T to get this party started. Athena and Baba go back and forth as largest, think Athena may take that race we will see. I am going to have to drop Mary from the grow, she is alive and improving but lets be honest... little if any production and focus needs to stay on the healthy plants. Letting my wife see what she can do, leave her as a project.
