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.

I made a concoction of living soil using ingredients I could find of subcools formula. Theoretically all i need to add is ph balanced water. And a tea once I decide to flower. I'm waiting for some gadgets[ph and moisture meters]to come in before doing any extensive watering.

Plant suffered of poor quality water, problems of transpiration and nutrients absorption due to pH unbalanced values, low humidity level, both light and ventilation intensity excess. Humidity is under control: stabilised between 45% and 50% continuously. pH has been fixed to 6.0 in all H2O solutions. Exhaust fan has been equipped of a rotative knob control in order to settle power: once desired humidity level is overpassed ventilation can be returned to max speed in order to maintain 24,5 Celsius degrees. LED light cycle 24/0 TOTAL AGRO at maximum intensity has been abandoned for energy and its cost savings purpose in relation with the final scope and entropy reduction effectiveness : Main+ 100 Blue+ 100 Red+ 100 LED Light Spectrum has been settled in order to give a natural Sun Dawn/Sunset effect maintaining the 24/0 cycle: 09:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 85 Red+ 50 10:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 90 Red+ 50 11:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 95 Red+ 50 12:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 13:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 14:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 15:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 16:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 17:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 18:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 19:00 Main+ 45 Blue+ 95 Red+ 45 20:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 90 Red+ 40 21:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 85 Red+ 35 22:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 80 Red+ 30 23:00 Main+ 25 Blue+ 75 Red+ 25 00:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 70 Red+ 40 01:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 65 Red+ 35 02:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 60 Red+ 30 03:00 Main+ 25 Blue+ 55 Red+ 25 04:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 60 Red+ 30 05:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 65 Red+ 35 06:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 70 Red+ 40 07:00 Main+ 45 Blue+ 75 Red+ 45 08:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 80 Red+ 50 Note: ORTOLED SERIE K is intrinsically provided of Sunrise/Sunset function which enables a smooth, uniform and gradual variation of light intensity during time without generating any kind of shock from sudden switching on or off, or changes in power and spectrum value. Blue light parameter overwhelms in this stage in order to encourage vegetative growth, compactness, and bushiness and photomorphogenesis, its development, including leaf expansion, stem elongation, and overall plant architecture. Decreased light intensity during night cycle should help regulate phototropism and reduce light stress. The plant well reacted to the care it received and the measures put in place, which given the visible critical health condition, were drastic and extreme. Possible combination of over feeding, overwatering and excess of light, responding to stress to be identified, on the basis of following visible symptoms : - leaves have turned thick, fat, dark deep green; - leaves start curling; - leaves hint a deep yellow hue; - new leaves are born with light green and yellow tips; - leaves report burnings such as fresh black spots which turn into dry brown spots; - 1 leaf at the third node is born with 4 tips, the second one is a 5 tips leaf correctly. Additional considerations to be uploaded asap regarding : - Biochar pH 8,5; - Biochar nutrients absorption and retention capacity in relation with organic growing; - Biochar and Coco Coir micro and macro nutrients binding capacity; - moon effect during plant life cycle; - huge vitality has been noticed during crescent moon appearance; - plant is asking for more and more feeding; - growing will be abandoned for no more than 96 hours therefore a self irrigating cotton rope wick system has been implemented. Added nutrients : Biobizz_ Alg-A-Mic - FishMix Bionova_ Ph+/Ph-

Auto looks done. Pakistan Valleys look almost done. Candy may need another couple weeks. What do u think i should do guys? Should i wait and harvest all together? Or harvest the auto now, then the kush and lastly the Candy? What's the best way. Also i had been planning to dry them all in my tent. If I do a staggered harvest, i have to build a box or empty out a closet to try and dry them in 😫

Coming along nicely. 4th week into flowering and she will surely finish fast. Buds are a little thin imo. But fattening is still a long ways before finishing. And I'll be adding higher part B of master bloom (as it has more pk). But still given a good NPK dose just not so much of pre-flower but more heavy flower npk. + bloom stim given 2x a week. And everything else is given weekly as stated above. 2npk 550 ppm feeds + 2 bloom booster & 1 of everything else. PH'ed between 6.6-6.8. Water 1.5L every 6 days or so plant takes in 800ml without spilling out a bit. Happy with the performance of Xpert Nutrients and this been my 1st Fast-Flowering im liken 'em a lot. Lfg Fastbuds. Thanks to all my sponsors, seed & Nutrient alike. And also for the inside rays. Much love SF/MH. Thanks to all whom drop(ped) by. I appreciate it. Good Growing.

Hi liebe Community! 💚 Heute ist die erste Blütewoche in das Land gezogen Sie hat in der ersten Blütewoche einen moderaten Stretch von knappen 10 CM hingelegt. Der Wuchs ist sehr kräftig und die Pflanze bleibt bis jetzt sehr homogen. Außerdem habe ich nun nochmal die Sonnensegel zurückgeschnitten und die unteren Triebe auf etwas 1/3 der oberen Höhe zurück geschnitten, damit die Pflanze ihre kompaktere Wuchsform beibehält. Insgesamt ist die Pflanze sehr Vital und hat eine sehr schöne Wuchsform😉 Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 25°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 1,04 kPa ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

This 10gal reservoir has been a game changer!!! If you’ve been wasting/going through your nutrients fast I suggest you get one of these and in the comments add Midnitrtoker from IG sent me. Trying to get sponsored and give one of these systems away!! Like I said i filled up the res with 10gal and it has gone 4weeks!!! Today I empty out what’s left and change the feed to flower. That means we up the EC a tad and let it go. If 10gal lasted up 4 weeks we will be using 5gal this time and hope it lasts us the first 3 weeks of flower. I have not experienced any deficiencies the tips are turning purple but that’s because my night temps drop to the low 70s even to 69F. I took cuts of these girls again. Next round we will be using Floraflex or Athena. Same environment different nutrients we will see which company gives us the biggest harvest. See you all at the end of week 1 Flower.

This was my second grow ever. I started with a blueberry headband seed from a bud I got from the dispensary. This strain was very easy to grow and very forgiving. Final product had some seeds but wasn’t too bad.

Bonjour a tous ..enfin les premières commencent leur flusch = 2x cherry cola = 1x gorrila x purple = et les 2 grandes dos i dos de barney elle aussi passent en flusch (strain qui sent bon la kusch citronnée mais l allure des plantes est juste incomparable avec le travail de fast bud et c été bien la mon but vous montrer que sans la génétique on sort au mieux des plantes moyennement belle (cristallisation. Recolte.effet.gout) je vais rajouter 2 ..3 vidéo histoire que vous voyez mes belle de pret;) Autrement pour les magnifiques gorrila x strawberry que l on dirais chromé tellement elle cristalise !! Ben tous se passe bien elles 2 recoivent encore des nutriment leger jusqu'à fin de semaine et normalement d ici la elle seront prêtent à partir en flusch. J ai également 2 monstre de 30 jours que vous voyez en pré- floraison Mention spécial à la orange scherbet elle est énorme pour 30 jours Et ma amnesia x zkitlez elle aussi est bien développée pour 30 jours également.. je précise que je match en béquille je ne peut donc pas faire que toute mes plantes termine en même temp sa me ferait trop de travail en une fois j espère que @fast bud ne m en voudra pas pour cela ;) Et d ici demain je posterai un nouveau journal *bannana purple punch* *West coast og * et bien sûr tous cela vient de mes grainetier préférés FAST BUD bien sur !!! So stay tuned les amis Petite mise a jour ... la miss orange scherbet et la amnesia x zkitlez on été mis dans ma box 70x70x160 parcqu elle n avaient plus assez de place en hauteur dans mon espace spécial autofloraison (la hauteur maxi est de 1m sous la lampe :) sa suffit en général mais la la orange scherbet fais déjà 90cm après à peine 30 jours!!! Et la amnesia la suis de prêt..voilà chose qui me permet d utiliser du co2 en gaz (vue que la tante se ferme ) mon autre espace serai trop gourmand en co2 pour les gens que sa intéresse mon système s appel =airbombz il utilise des cartouches de co2 et est complètement réglable par telecomande je vous porteraient une vidéo demain du système :) voilà voilà j ai hâte de voir le résultat de ces 2 beautées.. On se voit pour la suite et surtout pour la recolte de mes 2 cherry cola d ici vendredi au max ;)

Salve a tutti i coltivatori Inizio a condividere la crescita di queste genetiche autofiorenti della RQS di cui 5 Green Gelato e 3 Northern light in vasi da 6,5 L e terriccio olandese light mix dell'Atami. Qui parto dalla 2 settimana di fioritura ( 31 giorni ) e devo dire che stanno rispondendo bene anche se purtroppo di giorno ho alte temperature che arrivano anche a 30°C con una lampada agro da 600w e scendono a 19°C a luci spente. Ho dovuto anche togliere alcune foglie prendisole più basse su alcune piante che sono state colpite da Septoria fogliare penso per colpa mia che in fase vegetativa e anche i primi giorni di fioritura ho spruzzato acqua sulle foglie più volte e non penso sia stata una mossa furba e anche l'umidità a luci spente quindi per 6 ore mi arriva a più di 80% anche con umidificatore spento.. Per il resto sto dando 4ml di soil nutrition bicomponente dell'Atami Bcuzz A/B e del the di banane per dare un po' di PK in più e ho messo anche cenere di legno di faggio per dare anche calcio e aumentare un po' l'alcalinita' del terreno visto che era un po' acido. Bene ringrazio a tutti quelli che passeranno di cui e auguro grassi raccolti a tutti noi! Reyden

Edit from second day of the June. 10am in the morning. 600W @ 30C @ 55% RH Yes, sir o7 #Lady BanaN = 95cm tall #Space Girl = 80cm tall Its between 15-18C outside for few days now. Lady BanaN starts "shinning" in the light with her precious trichomes, I have feeling that all that stress will coat the main cola with sugar :) Space Girl have that Jamiroquai vibes all the time, no worries at all, pretty forgiving plant (Royal Critical / 14% THC / Indica dominant hybrid) it was a freebie. I plant it only to have variety from Fat Bananas (22%THC/Indica dominant). I'm mainly looking for Rosin extraction so Trichome production is the most important for me. Don't care about the yield, this is why I filled the tent with biggest pots. Due to lack of place I can't stress these two plants just right before harvest (dark period etc). I was thinking about stressing whole tent with music. I have played Techno Rave already and they seems to like it... so... I don't think loud and aggressive music will stress them. Maybe sound of a city? Honking cars? Talking people? will stress her more? I'm gonna experiment. I just need to think of a way to make her thinking it's time to die and she needs to protect her self. I was thinking about temps and lights also, cuz she gonna coat her self with sugar if it's gonna be too hot/cold to protect/isolate herself from temperature changes. But how do I do that without fucking up? :) Anyway, plan for now is to let them create big buds and then I want to stress-the-f*ck-out-off-them. Maybe I'm gonna lie to them and I'm gonna switch lights? I'm just gonna put 7W led above them so they gonna think its for real lol... 3rd June @ 8am So normally I water these bitches in the morning so there is enough time to make the soil dry by night. Yesterday I did differently and I water them around 5-6pm. They seems to like it, idk. Too high to think about it. 27C @ 60% RH Tent is fully open. I'm sitting with plants today. I'm a plant today... 3rd June @ 5pm 30C @ 55% RH (closed tent) WE COOKIN' ! 4th June @ 10am 26C @ 60% RH (open tent) We still cookin' Things getting frosty!!! Rest of the plants show pistils coming out of calyx's. All of them. Non of them have any pollen sacks etc. So Lady BanaN turned into hermie at 34C (93,2F). From the other hand, they liked 32C temps. Today all of them get at least 1L of (cold) water. Some of them didn't care, one or two of them didn't like it at first but then they turns back to normal. #Space Girl = Same height = around 80cm #Lady BanaN = 98cm (3cm more then week ago 👍) 5th June @ 7am Fungus Gnats sleeping on my leaves, wtf is going on? Or was it dead? Space Girl's main cola is getting bigger then Lady BanaN's main cola. 😳 And Space G is younger by 5-6 days. Temps later. DAMN THAT FROST BUILDING UP EVERYWHERE! 28.5C @ 51% RH (morning) [bottom of the tent] 29C @ 52% RH (evening) [bottom of the tent] 30-32C(evening) in higher parts of the plants. Fan leafs and colas. (NOW I'm really glad I have this temp-pistol) 2C more and I'll have a problem. I don't like that VPD. I hope cold water in the morning will regulate that stuff. Just noticed yellow mushroom growing in west side, lol? 6th June @ morning Shroomy growing big and nice. I decide to leave it alone. I was growing mushrooms before so I know that mycelium under the ground is just in the price of a gold for these plants. It's just natural symbiosis. Somebody answered my question saying it's a damp soil not "humid nights" that cause this but... humid nights makes the soil rly damp. I hope that makes more sense. I moved hydrometer under the canopy of a plant with shroomy. 👉[600W @ 27C @ 61%]👈 with open tent (full front door / little bit of east side) and left the lights on for 24/0. Baby plants no water today. Only big girls drinking now. Oh, I forget that I re-arrange the pots. So Critical and Banan are at the same place but the baby plants around switch their places. The tall one from North-West was moved to South-West etc. In North(back) of the tent is warmer + stronger light. South have colder temps and light is not so intense. You can see Critical have curly leafs but Fat Banana that is taller have not. Temp check before night 👉[600W @ 29C @ 45%]👈 7th June. Morning routine. 👉[400W @ 26C @ 56%]👈 8th June. Late morning. 👉[600W @ 29C @ 49%]👈 I was 100% sure I'm on 400W now but I checked the knob and it was set at 600W? So... somewhere between today and few days ago I had to set it to "Super Lumens" that are above 600W. 660 I think to be precise so no big deal but I guess that's why Royal Critical got her leaves curly a little bit. L A D Y B A N A N F R O S T Y 👽 M E L I K E F R O S T Y 👽 If that's how you increase Frost production then Im gonna do the Palm Tech to all future plants xD
