I'm impressed with this C4 Auto, from fastbuds this is one of two plants I grew. This plant is a real indoor plant she grows lovely. The other plant is an outdoor plant it's pretty too don't get me wrong but where i thought the outdoors would produce a bigger plant i got the opposite of that, I got a Mutated plant, nice colored bud on here but she continues to mutate even in flowering stage my indoor plant is twice her height and size but love both my C4 Auto from fastbuds. Even if they broke my heart by changing payment policy, I'll never be able to get seeds from fastbuds again so I decided to spray my runt on the outdoors with tiresias mist feminized seed spray..... hopefully I get some pollen and able to pollinate my indoor C4 Auto..

Day 35 and I can finally see them putting weight back on after the light situation. Debating on top dressing one more time or not, we’ll see in a couple of days.

I can’t wait to cut these buds down!

Great Terps on this plant. looks like a good washer as it is covered in trichomes up to the big leaves. Definetly has a Grape/Lime Soda Taste to it.

WOW LOOK AT DAT!! DAT PLANT IS NOW HARVESTED!!! IT HANDLED THE OUTDOORS VERY VERY GOOD!!!! I WOULD LIKE TO THANK DA THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO STOPPED IN AND VIEWED DA GROW!!!!! A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE ONES WHO LEFT COMMENTS YOU ARE VERY VERY KIND!!!!! I WILL HAVE A SMOKE REPORT AFTER DA DRY AND CURE!!!!!😎 PLEASE COME AGAIN!!!!!

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

12/15/2020 12/18/2020 Last 3 pics posted. And she is smelling nice definitely like nothing I have grown , I got to taste the mom and it is very good! Hope I can do as well as the previous grower did🙏 It's cool this week so holding back on watering as she is still perky and pot is heavy still, if it gets colder I'll use seedling mat to raise temperature a little, also hope she can take cooler weather outside in the spring.

📆 Semana 7 Blue Zushi sigue avanzando con mucha presencia y estilo propio. Esta semana los cogollos han ganado aún más volumen, y la compactación empieza a ser realmente destacable. Las flores están cada vez más recubiertas de resina, dando un aspecto brillante y pegajoso que promete una buena producción final. El tono azul se intensifica, especialmente en las puntas más cercanas a la fuente de luz, lo que le da ese toque exótico tan especial. En cuanto a la nutrición, continúo con la base de XpertNutrients y el aporte de Sticky Fingers, que está haciendo maravillas con la producción de tricomas. El aroma sigue evolucionando: más penetrante, más complejo… con matices cítricos y un fondo terroso que se mezcla con esa dulzura fresca tan típica. Los Adlite mantienen su rendimiento uniforme. La penetración de luz está siendo excelente y hasta las zonas bajas están desarrollando cogollos bien formados y densos. Las condiciones climáticas siguen dentro del rango ideal: temperaturas estables entre 22 y 25 °C, y humedad en torno al 50-55%, siempre bajo vigilancia para evitar cualquier contratiempo. Los olores en el cuarto de cultivo ya son más intensos y empiezan a llenar el ambiente. La combinación de frutas ácidas y notas kush es cada vez más evidente. Los tricomas siguen mayormente lechosos, con algunos empezando a mostrar tonos ámbar, pero aún no es momento de cosechar. Una planta vistosa y con mucha clase. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

The plant is ripening, leaves are turning yellow and harvest day is coming closer. Until now, I can not really say, that this strain is a " lemon Cherry Cookie ". Unfortunately I can not say, that I smell cherry, lemon or cookies. I have had other strains, which were definitely more on the lemon side or cherry, which I did not make a diary a out. Sometimes, she smells very sweet, a bit like over ripened fruit. A positive thing: her buds are really beautiful. The colour is really nice and she is not a hungry plant. Until now , I could not see any signs of mold, even though the weather is not that optimal. If you have space on your balcony and you like to see some purple bud, you could give this a try. If your liking for extraordinary terpenes, I would choose a different strain . I'm waiting for harvest, to look out for how much she will hit, on grams and effect.

I fill the reservoir, they drink it. Rinse and repeat.......

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. #dinafem # HLG #foxfarms

К началу 3 недели снизил влажность до 60%. По листу добавил Б52 на 1 литр 1 миллилитр. Опрыскиваю по мере высыхания листьев. полив ежедневный под корень.

New week they are good , I put second pheno into the big room with her sister! Add green sensation to the soup!

They surprised me how fast they reached the finish line. I've been flushing them with only water for a few days now. I'm quite pleased by the results, considering that this is my first time in coco. The trichs are getting 50/50 clear/milky and over, so it's harvest time this following week. There's a purple theme going on and I enjoy watching it :D I'm quite sure it's because of the low temps at night.

Solo una semana más. Domingo 19 se cosecha... Plantas muy hermosas.

Well growmies ive been looking forward to the bubblegum for sometime now , as the last time i grew it was like 09 and there both keeper that's for sure 👈 couldn't of asked for better Genetics 😉 The smell coming from both plants during the entire grow was just dreamy 👈.... Amazing Plants 👉 Big thanks to all my Growmies out there in GD land 👈 Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks To MarsHydro for the TS1000 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34

Gave the girls their first big feed yesterday and so far they seem to love it. One of the Bubba kush plants has a slight case of heat stress but it's not much n she's still growing. Happy growing my friends.. #CultivationsTheMotivation 🌱
