Fire bud in 11 weeks looking forward to testing this by next week be Curing out in the vault in the end :) simple living soil brand Black Swallow KIS Living soil and their bloom top feed plus Dynomyco mycorrhizae 🔥 Thank you again Fast Buds for Sponsoring this journal experiment. Indoor organic farming keep it simple and get back what you put in thank you :)

This week the plant got her first topping and it was a success as the topped part has formed into 2 new branches. This was my first ever topping 💪 Added a 20w flood light on the side of the plant so the plant has access to more light under the big fan leafs. Overall very happy with the growth

- Day 63 of Flower Light reduction to 50% - Day 65 of Flower Last time Watering - Day 67 of Flower Lights out for 3 days - day 70 of Flower Harvest Trichomes are about 15% amber and 80% cloudy with 5% clear Temperatures for drying gonna be 19°C and RH around 55%. She is looking beautiful and her Smell is so intensive you cannot unsmell it. Its Loud! Has Some Fruity (Plum or Tangie like), Soapy and Floral Notes to it. I cant wait for the smoke.

07.11 New flower week is here, for now all going good, still cant wait to see final product and how big and tick buds can be, but ride is joyfull and exciding. Watering 1.3 l all 3 with nutrients and cal-mag, ph 6.2-6.5( i got ph meter without calibration fluid) but how much time i did mesuring i know how big ph is after i get water from tap [7.5-7.9(did mesuring 120 times minimum, before nutrients, after nutrients and after i add down if i need)] and yea, dont see much differnts on plants in few days without ph meter, but he is here in case, better check up,air flow is good , humidity good(above light zone 45-55%, down by plants 55-65%) and temp day 25°-27°,night 18°-24°. I adjust pots every day 2 times minimum so every side get some correct light in all parts( maybe silly but i think its not anything bad to keep every side in some parts of day better lighted). Wish me best for tomorrow i will need it, and them also in rest of the grow proces🍀💪🏻🍀🤞🏻🙏🏻 08.11 Today they was out to get some neem spray and see bit of light till weather is not bad, and to not spray in tent, better photos then last time i guess, they look happy and healty, today no watering i saw that soil is not dry 09.11 Today's subject..watering 1.3l pro plant with nutrients and cal mag, ph 6.2- 6.4. How i see its good, going good and wish them best till end and more, weekend is here 10.11 Watering 1.3 l pro plant with cal mag and nutrients, ph 6-2-6.5 I saw some gold colors on end of the leafs I think i forgot put down light intensity after spraying them with good amount of neem oil, i got some time to do it, and normal i am busy so, why not i guess Hope its not some problems with plants, looks like burned a little not like sick and dry, and only top of leafs Wish them bless and the best 🙏🏻🍀😋 11.11 Watering 1.4 l with nutrients and cal mag, ph 6.2-6.5 Plants looking good , still on big one bit of yellow color on leafs, hope it will go soon, this 9 weeks was gone fast ,but this part like clock was stoped i wish till end good situation with them, good run, and all what they need🙏🏻🍀💚 12.11 I decide to try give them one day water with cal mag,ph 6.2, 1l to each of them,try to flash a little bit in hope that will help better recovery from damage, next time when i spray neem i will leave outside a bit dry and try to keep light intensity lower, bit of adjusting fen and vent, still recovering from burning down from light.. nervously waiting end😊😋😁💚🍀🙏🏻 13.11 Waterin 1.4l pro plant with cal mag and nutrients, ph 6.2-6.5 Smallest one chaching up with 2 bigger , realy happy how she turn tabels and cant wait to see how she will look on the end, plant are happy, good health with no problems, only that few of yelowing leafs that almost all had recoverd,like i said, realy happy with what i saw , now they have bit stronger smell(can feal it when i get in apartment, even if i put vent out i can taste it but ok, thats how should be, need to smell a little) And from other stuff, today was first time snowing ❄️ Soo hard winter is in front of us, till then girls would be dryed and cured probably not 100% but enoguh to go outside, take a walk on cold and smoke one Ladys stay hard till end and good 🍀🙏🏻💚❄️ P.S night temperature when lights are off is 15-17°[problem is with opened window becuse of vent,dont know what total resault of that would be(maybe i should let lights on night so i can have better temperature in tent, aka switch ciclus of light to be dark weil i work)] thoughts ?

She has crossed the line at 90 days from seed to harvest! She smells sweet and pungent, and so so sticky 😬 Gave her a rough trim and gunna finish with a dry trim ✂️ Will update with the weigh in and a few close ups 🔥

Hello my friends, ...June 7 , 2022....Day N°87.. ...Flowering day N°31"... Fifth week of flowering for my three Feminized Watermelon Candy, they are fine, there are beautiful, flowers smells awesome. I feed them with the Hybrid powder and some Boster from Green House Feeding Nutrients. I gave them some CalGreen from Metrop, the best Cal-Mag of the market. They are under a MarsHydro TSW 3000 at 70% of power and at 30cm of the canopy. www.zamnesia.com www.mars-hydro.com www.marshydro.eu Thank you very much for passing by. Wish you only the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨

Finally over the hump! I think. All my ladies are doing much better all new growth seems to be really healthy and all the plants are taking off. I feel like I lost around a week with my issues, however im praying 🙏 that these babies will get tall enough to produce a decent harvest. I have so much more to learn. C ya next week & thanks for your time. Happy Holidays

Hey everyone, quick update on my Hulk in living soil! It’s growing like crazy, and I’m starting to get a bit concerned it might get too big once the flowering stretch kicks in 😅. Other than that, I’ve just been watering occasionally and adding some beneficial microorganisms . I’m thinking in about 1-2 weeks, I’ll switch to 12/12.

Looking Great this week but I just have I am in need of heavy Phosphorus but for now she’s a beauty

Crazy growing going on , looking we’ll see for yourselves, I don’t want to say anything as pictures speak louder than words 💪 Also we now have conclusive proof that soil plants ripen faster , the soil ones look at least 1 week ahead with flowers forming Adding biobizz nutrients to Soil plants , watered 3l each Friday Changed solutions Saturday Reduced daytime to 1130 Watered 3.5 l monday soil ones definitely ahead - why ? They all exactly the same plants

Steady progress this week. Her trichomes have put in an appearance this week! 😎 Still got a way to go yet.

Week 11 (10-4 to 16-4) 10-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 52% (lowest) No pictures. Added 10L to the reservoir, and turned it on for a couple of minutes. 11-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 52% (lowest) 12-4 Temperature: 25.5 degrees (lights on) 22 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 57% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. 13-4 Temperature: 26.5 degrees (lights on) 23 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 56% (lowest) 14-4 Temperature: 26.4 degrees (lights on) 22.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 45% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. The reservoir is almost empty, there is 850 ml left. 15-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 49% (lowest) No pictures. 16-4 Temperature: 23.5 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 53% (lowest) Today i defoliated both plants heavily for the last time, you can say i did a method called: schwazzing. Dont know why but while i was defoliating the Chemdog smelled a little bit like soap haha. Turned on the reservoir for a couple of minutes. (Till the AutoPots are full and the valve closes) Rised the pots aswell, so the canopy is very even. I let them recover from the heavy defoliation i did, and next week i will slowly increase the light's strength. (Now still at 50% 50cm)

For my second grow, I am OVER THE MOON!! I just yielded 16.1 ounces (wet trimmed) from a single lady in a small 23"x19" x 48" DIY tent. The strain; Mandarin Cookies v2 from Ethos Genetics, was very easy to manage and did not have any issues even in my small space. It was really difficult to determine the run time, it suggested 9 weeks from the breeder, I ended up going almost 13 weeks!! the trichomes stayed white

Ladies still drink a lot of water, 3,4 L every 48 hours. Main cola flowers are getting big, side colas less but still 2 weeks to go so hopefully they will continue. The lady in the front, plant and buds have another aspect then the other 2. All of them are cherry cola. Also had some issues with her during veg phase and she began flowering earlier.

Total harvest = 320Grams of buds Will update photos in the near future The buds are different now than when the videos where taken I will updated soon with the photos of the cured buds.

Surprised by how well the water is wicked to the medium from the water bottle, it took a long time, but wick works as intended. I was unsure how much if any nutrient would be transferred via wick but the high salt content altered pH at certain parts. Right before the symptoms arose I decided to supercrop the stem top to bottom on one plant, shortly thereafter the burning happened from the same plant from running 8.0 pH, and nutrient uptake ground to a halt on the plant that was dealing with stress. She doesn't seem happy. Remedied with aluminum sulfate, things seem to be coming back to normal. I need to be more careful with salts. I need MOAR knowledge. How many weeks shall we veg? Going to take a while to fill that canopy with just two plants, should probably start topping now but I'll wait until pH problem Is remedied first, a couple more days hopefully 🙏. I defoliated maybe 6 bigger leaves that had burned yellow on one plant, as it comes back to optimal range, this will be a good opportunity to observe the subtle differences that early defoliation can make. Added a pound of tourmaline powder and biochar, both increase soil urease and invertase activities. *2025 Didn't charge the biochar skewing my ph drastically. Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into CO2 and NH3 and is a key component in the nitrogen cycle in soils. Invertase (d-fructofuranosidfructohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.26) is the enzyme that capable both break down α-1,4-glycosidic linkage between d-glucose and d-fructose of sucrose and transferring αβ-D-O-fructofuranoside residue to an acceptor substrate (Toledo et al., 2019). Since tourmaline is widely distributed in the natural environment and has many excellent physical and chemical properties including radiating far infrared energy, permanently releasing negative ions, producing an electrostatic field, releasing rare microelements, and stimulating the growth and metabolism of microorganisms and plants, tourmaline had been conducted to alleviate potential environmental pollution. Perfect for how much seaweed I've added just incase.

Oh boy my first ever harvest is making its way💜💚 Day 61: So these girls have been fattening their budsites and #3 isnt mad about how close the light is😅 these plants have really strong resistance and amazing genetics 🔥 On that note highly recommend Fastbuds seeds. First ever grow and these seed did not let me down. Amazing frost, incredible resistance againts overfeed and high temp (also low). Plant #1 and #2 are further into flower than #3. 3 has still almost 90% white hairs and definitely non tris that are cloudy. 1 and 2 however have almost all hairs turned to beatiful dark orange🧡 They still have ways to go before harvest. Might start flushing soon. Day 63: Morning fellow growers 🌅 💜 Checked trichomes this morning with my quite annoying small ass 30x lens. Almost impossible to see them but by the looks of it, atleast on lower buds almost all of em al clear. So imo they have still time to get fat 😎 i think ill start flushing when i see cloudy tris on top buds atleast 90% and chop down when 75/25 cloud/amber. So far my first grow has gone very well all things considered! What to remeber to do for my cookies and runtz, is that i will keep the cannopy level so i dont have one 120cm plant and two 60cm plants😂 also i have doubts about my offbrand light. Prolly will see 2 harvests trough and see if both times i get skinny nugs i will switch it out😎 stay lifted💚 Day 66: harvest is getting closer but seems like trichomes are mostly glassy still. Been feeding normally but cut the gro out this week. So only calmabg bloom and micra. Ph round 6.1. It seems like buds wont get that much denser or wont do much anymore. Would love some opinions what to do at this point! Edit: since growquestions are bugging, decided to harvest 1 top from 2 plants. Just to see hows the high and some closer looks. Seems like i might be a day or two early for my liking but opinions and comments are appreciated 💚

Day 44 – Steady March into Flowering The journey continues! Although the weather remains inconsistent — with chilly mornings, bursts of afternoon sun, and cold nights — this lady refuses to be held back. She’s thriving confidently in her super soil blend, nourished solely with pH-balanced tap water, and showing no signs of slowing down. Her foliage has become lush and expansive, acting like solar panels eagerly soaking in every bit of light they can capture between the clouds. New growth is vigorous, and the pre-flowering signs are now clearly taking shape, promising a smooth transition into full bloom. The top node is beginning to stack, and those early pistils are spreading — a sure sign she’s enjoying her environment. Although nighttime temperatures have dipped, she’s been strong enough to remain outdoors under the open sky. To protect her from the sneaky slug patrol, I’ve elevated her above ground level — a small tactic, but one that keeps her canopy untouched and flourishing. There’s something uniquely rewarding about this outdoor grow — it’s low-cost, hands-on, and deeply satisfying. While indoor tents offer more control, nothing beats adapting to nature’s rhythm and still achieving such healthy development. Much credit goes to FastBuds.com for the genetics. This girl is showing impressive resilience, structure, and poise — exactly what you want in a CBD-dominant auto. Can’t wait to transform this harvest into some rich, therapeutic CBD oil. One step closer each day! Day 46 – Thriving Naturally Under Open Skies This lady continues to prove that sometimes, less is truly more. I’ve kept things as simple and natural as possible — no synthetic nutrients, no grow tents, no artificial stimulation. Just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a super soil blend I mixed myself months ago. The result? A strong, healthy, and surprisingly resilient plant that now towers confidently at over 60 cm and is embracing her flowering phase with grace. Yesterday brought a refreshing rainfall — and while some might worry about outdoor exposure, this girl clearly enjoyed every drop. Her leaves were glistening with energy this morning as the sun returned, and the vibrant growth is undeniable. It’s moments like these that remind me why I chose an outdoor grow: nature takes care of its own when we provide the right foundation. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to keep her outside right through to harvest. With the summer sun still ahead, she’s got the best part of the season to stretch, stack, and swell those buds. Massive appreciation to FastBuds.com — the genetics are absolutely spot on for a low-maintenance grower like myself. Reliable, vigorous, and beautiful to watch evolve. No gimmicks. No stress. Just sun, soil, and the will to grow. Day 49 – Battle-Tested by Nature, Still Standing Tall What a wild few days it’s been! Heavy rain and strong winds put my lady through her first proper trial. At one point she even took a tumble from her pedestal and bent slightly under the pressure. But if there’s one thing that’s become crystal clear — Fast Buds genetics are made of iron. 💪 Despite the rough weather, she’s bounced back beautifully. Today the skies have cleared, and the sunshine has returned — and so has her posture. Her leaves are once again reaching outward with confidence, showing no signs of stress or damage. It’s moments like these that make outdoor cultivation so rewarding. There’s no hiding from the elements out here — it’s all about adaptability, resilience, and harmony with nature. My growing technique remains deliberately minimalistic: no artificial feeds, no grow tents, no special shelters — just pure rain, sunlight, and my homemade super soil blend. The goal is to let nature take the lead, and so far, she’s doing a brilliant job. If you’re thinking of trying an outdoor grow and want something straightforward yet satisfying, I can’t recommend FastBuds.com genetics enough. They’ve created a line that genuinely thrives even under less-than-ideal conditions. We’ve now passed the 7-week mark, and I’m more convinced than ever that this grow will finish strong, under open skies — just the way I envisioned. 🌿☀️

CBD Star bud seem to be thickening up despite obvious signs of deficiencies, likely due to a pH induced nutrient lock out. Phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium, manganese, molybdenum? It’s basically the periodic table of deficiencies. Main cola started to turn purple due to molybdenum deficiency? Found a spider mite on Cheese… sprayed the leaves down with a 1:10 alcohol:water solution which seems to have taken care of the mites.
