This week has started of with the girls doing well some new growth. A lot of wind this week but cooler temps. Plastic layer added aswell as gravel on top to help with parasites and possible cooler temps. Plants treated for pest and fungus once a week until flower. Day 3 Sprayed for parasites and fungus. Day 4 It has been raining before day break. Jah has taken over the watering for us today. But not enough. Watered with nutrient water in the afternoon. Everybody praying. Day 5 Removing all leaves with spider mites, washed down the rest of the leaves and sprayed for parasites and fungus. Day6-7 Plants were left in the car of the gods. He did well and took care of them very well with a 2 nice showers of rain followed by sun.

Part of an 8pot tent. Sweet seeds always has been a great experience from seed to smoke. All the senses get a good dance when growing with this bank. So can’t say any better - looking forward to building a nice sweet seed variety. These are waiting for a Harvest in coming weeks so we have them around the place being looked after by spider leg LED fir the early stages. On mobile so will add nutrients to the diary as we go. Can’t have anyone thinking I’m feeding seed full clip lol.

Day 50 since seed touched soil. They overgrew everything !!! Devil is HUGE and strong and hungry ;)))) . I think i was late with top up, they developed fast and used a lot. I check run off for ppm, but thought 800 still ok, it was not. So big last top up !!! plus to call it measuring would be sin, i collect all run off, mixed from all 3 plants, but its still gives small feel. ALL NUTRITIONS ARE GRAMS TO POT LITRES !!!! Neutralise is in real measurement only. Great White - 3 g each pot Biosys - 3g each pot Charge - 30 g each pot Life-Cycle - 60 g each pot Bio-Blend - 100 g each pot Watered straight after, 4 liters went in. Some girls are almost brushing Mars Hydro TSL2000 and i see no issues if air is moved and temp with humidity allows it. Great light, plants grow very well, too well ;)))) will do new clearing after two waterings, want girls to eat first, make bigger roots, then i will resize again to concentrate more on tops. MARS HYDRO TSL2000: 300W, Flower 2'x4', Veg 3'x5' It's recommended for beginners. Low-budget & high-efficiency. Took down first time ever LST while still growing. Needed space of pot, for last top up and i think they will breath better without, branches are stiff, i would add silica to feed at such time, to stiff them, but i go with one line only, just full beans ;))) Happy growing !!!

What can I say, this week is going great. The plants are growing flat taps. The heads are slowly but surely fattening up and it starting to get smelly. The liberty haze in particular is a smell queen🤩 it has this insane bubblegum/fruity smell to it.. let's just say I'm starting to fall in love 😍 the tangerine dream on the bottom left is just growing like a absolutely machine and has a nice citrus smell coming through. And its growth has no signs of slowing down any time soon. Looks like it's going to hit the roof if it doesn't slow down🤣The stocky little blue dream #2 is starting to pack on some serious bud size for its age.. the plants not a fan of vertical growth but it looks like it will make up with bud size and structure 👌 Everything has been super mellow, I'm watering at the same PH the only thing added was some humic acid and fish emulsion for a bit of a booster. But otherwise letting them do their thing🤙

Chopped on day 119 (complete life cycle not flowering days) Unfortunately, early and mid flower was dealing with some brutal heat that I was unable to mitigate due to the tents location and external weather. I gave her some silica blast to help them, which did help, although the total yield weight was effected. i have a total weight of 139.6 grams (4.99 ounces), and probably around 60 grams of Larry buds which I will be using for edibles. The rating may change post curing. Terps: unfortunately only 1 pheno had the lemon scent, the other 2 smell like RANK body odor. The terps are definitely present and I have yet to sample a nug to test its potency. As of now, she gets a 7.2/10 solely because of the total weight and days it took to grow. Unfortunately the heat stress took its toll, and it's no knock on the strain or the breeder. It is what it is.

Day 56...Started feeding everyone with a feeding schedual. The mullberry is full of small nugs wont be the biggest buds but looking like they will fatten up. I should of started her new feed schedual 3 weeks ago instead of last week (my fault), but her smell is loud and proud of her heritage and is unmistakeable...the Blutane and CQ started on full feed this week. There nugs are both pretty decent, next grow will def mix soil a little different. I had 2 heavy and 1 light so got a good average for next mix. Again the smell with these 3 ladies in 1 tent is pure blueberry bliss.

Fungus gnats were in full effect here due to the Down-to-Earth potting mix. That stuff doesn't drain worth a damn! I had just sprayed the plants with neem oil and soap in this video... and needless to say that didn't turn out well (more to follow) In other news, the French Macaron roots were growing like crazy at this point.

I just recently made a growdiaries account and wasn’t able to get one of my Gelato Auto by Fastbuds. But I was really happy with the results and wanted to show it off a bit. I ended up with 105 grams dry from the 1 autoflower plant alone! Also mid grow as I was entering the flowering stage I broke one of the bigger stems during lst so I know for sure I would have pulled a QP off of her alone. Really happy with that and not to mention the quality of nugs I got off of her.

Most lower leaves have now yellowed. Pistils still white though. Stinks! Epic crops. Probably 10x more than I've ever managed before. Lord knows what I'll do with it all... ;-) Hoping she's ready to harvest soon because the electricity bill is starting to hurt :-/

Welcome to Week 3 of the Sweet Seeds Gorilla Girl XL Auto’s grow. It’s been extremely cold here in Canada this last few weeks and these plants are doing their best to survive- not thrive. Although they are healthy and happy, they are just not thriving like my previous Sweet Seeds grow from the fall of 2021. The temperatures are only a few degrees cooler than spring, summer and fall but the humidity is extremely low at this particular time of year- 20-25% at best. Without adding additional humidity via a humidifier, my plants are at the mercy of the dry Canadian winters. Week 3 did not bring the expected growth spurt experienced by the plants in my previous Sweet Seeds grow (the Cream Mandarine XL autos). I have included a side by side comparison photo above to show the massive difference in size between the two SS grows. It’s because of the slow growth that I have decided not to top these plants 👎🏼 I increased the water early in Week 3 to 2.1 litres per plant every 4th day (0.52 of a litre per plant per day). Hopefully these ladies pick up a little over week 4. Mom’s Tip for Week #3- To Top or Not to Top?… Topping is an simple technique used by growers to split the main stalk/stem into two separate stalks/stems. This allows for height control when growing XL strains, encourages lower branch growth creating a more equal canopy height and of course- creates two beautiful, big colas instead of one! But topping Autoflowers has long been the source of great debate so I’m here to clarify Mom’s Do’s & Don’ts when topping autos. Do top your plants if they are healthy, thriving and on track (growth wise) with other growers and any info the breeder’s might provide. Don’t top your plants if they appear unhealthy, simply surviving and behind/slow (growth wise) compared to other growers growing the same strain. Do top your Autoflowers between 3-5 weeks from seed or when your plants have grown as many sets of branches as you desire (usually 4-6 sets of branches or nodes). Don’t top your auto’s beyond the 5th-6th week as they are most likely going into full flower. Do top, prior to or very early on in the pre-flower stretch and don’t top too late in pre-flower or once budding has begun- it’s too late and you’ve missed your opportunity for this grow. Do top your plants if you know what you’re doing and you’ve got the right tools. Believe it or not, I use a sterilized set of nail clippers (dedicated to this job alone) as they deliver a clean, controlled, perfect cut every time. Don’t top your plants if you haven’t done your homework or you haven’t got the right tools. Many people use their fingers but I find they are too large and awkward for such a precise job. More than once I have missed (FIM’d) or taken one of the two baby branches that are supposed to be left behind or simply injured those tiny developing branch sites by accident. Do top your autoflowers if you are growing a large/XL strain in a small/short space. This allows the grower to influence/control the overall height of the plants and creates a more equal/level canopy of foliage and eventually bud. Don’t top your auto’s if you are growing a short, fast flowering strain as this can sometimes stall/stunt them a tiny bit. Some Autoflowers run such a tight seed to harvest schedule that they legitimately cannot afford any interruptions in their growing cycle so check the breeder’s info before you chop. Do have fun with growing your Cannabis and don’t be afraid to try something new. Don’t top your Auto’s expecting to triple your yield though. I have learned that it will change the shape and height of your plants and you’ll end up with less low level, larfy bud but your yields will be almost identical whether you top or not. ✂️✂️✂️

the weather forecast says 2 weeks of rain, it will be a challenge to keep the humidity low in the house and of course in the growbox.

🇩🇪 9.2. Weiter in Form gehalten. Das Video ist vor dem entlauben und nach Justieren aufgenommen. Heute Abend werd ich die untern Blätter die von oberhalb wachsenden verdeckt sind entfernen und die Triebe wieder in die gewünschten Positionen bringen. Ein paar Fotos werden folgen.💛✌️ Das erste Fotoshooting für den Fast Buds Pets & Pot 2026 Contest gemacht 2 von 33 sind ganz ok geworden. Aber ich werd die Woche über noch ein paar Versuche haben. Aber dabei bin ich schon mal.😂💛✌️ 🇬🇧 2.9. Still keeping her in shape. The video was filmed before leaf removal and adjusting. Tonight I'll remove the lower leaves that are hidden by the ones growing above and reposition the shoots. A few photos will follow. 💛✌️ I've done my first photoshoot for the Fast Buds Pets & Pot 2026 contest. 2 out of 33 turned out pretty okay. But I'll have a few more attempts this week. I'm already in! 😂💛✌️

*Jan26th-#plant2 was ready to cut Tuesday she's In the dry tent goon for a few days then will jar up. * Plant 1 is goin strong still. But they both are on a tap water diet till the end. We're at week 14 from seed and 8th week flower so should be done growing and filling out from here on hopefully.. Just glad the tents set up fully now with exhaust and dehumidifier so no more crazy spikes (would get up to 80% rh and 55°f .. cold and humid had me freaking out lol. But that's all sorted) All in all I'm happy with the lil test run on these, seeing how they did with minimal nutrients and light gives me hope for the next go. Still debating on running these with growdots , my next set will be with ganja farmer seeds and growdots. Should be fun may throw in a plat jelly or two aswell. We shall see once the beans get here.. As always tho. Appreciate anyone thst may leave suggestions or feedback. Always like gearing what u see or don't see . Helps get better so its mainly why I'm here . And thanks to anyone goin thru my rambles ,videos and photos. Hope everyone's grows are doing well, I'll be skipping around checking out what is going on .! Till next update take care gang !
