Hi Growmies, I'm excited to share some big news today! Although there have been some unexpected twists, it's all part of the incredible journey of gardening. I've just completed the harvest, a tad earlier than initially planned, due to finding a bit of mold in one of the buds. Despite this minor hiccup, the trichomes were already at a decent 10% to 15% amber. So, all things considered, the timing ended up being pretty spot-on. The harvested weight was a solid 609 grams after trimming, which is quite a feat! A lesson learned for next time: perhaps I let her grow a few too many buds, leading to a denser canopy than ideal. But on the bright side, the aroma is absolutely divine. I sampled an airy bud that had dried a bit, and wow, it packs a stronger punch than its clone mother. And the flavor? Pure, unadulterated cheese – no hint of pineapple here! Now, the anticipation builds for the final dry weight, which I should know in about 3-4 days. It's always exciting to see the fruits of our labor fully realized. A huge thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. Your interest and support mean the world. And now, the adventure continues! I've started on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds. The diary for this new chapter is up and running, and the seedlings have already sprouted, marking the beginning of another exciting phase. (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/185718-grow-journal-by-salokin) I can't wait to share more updates with you all. Here's to the continued growth and learning in our gardening adventures!

-Start of Week 7- 8/30- Here we go...Week seven should end with ALL the ladies in flower, I hope! The Seedsman Zkittles #3 is the 'last girl out' having been a week behind the others. The Seedsman Gelato OG in Natures Living Soil is not as robust as its sister in the SOHUM Living Soil. They are both visually extremely similar in appearance except the one in Sohum is roughly 25% bigger!...interesting! The ladies received Compost Tea for breakfast @ 1/2 gallon each but before I fed them I added 1 cup of Diatomaceous Earth to each pots medium which I worked into the soil by hand (this will cut the Fungus Gnats and any other undesirables in the medium to shreds! Muahaha!😈) then watered it in with the tea. The Crystal Meth #1 is showing nitrogen toxicity and possibly the Purple Lemonade #1 as the Crystal Meth #1's leaf tips are 'clawing' and she's deep green. The Purple Lemonade #1's also really dark and shes got some yellowing of a few leaves happening but no 'clawing'. I'm just going to let her eat as she's a short, stocky little biatch with some heavy, stanky buds forming!. The FastBuds genetics are appearing to be very sensitive to nutrients, more so than the Seedsman strains which haven't shown any real issues other than being slower to flower and BUSHY as hell!😁 *On a side note, I popped nine photo-period beans today- Dutch Passion Power Plant, White Widow & Meringue / Archive's Poochie Love and some Blueberry Skunk from bag seeds🙏 8/31- I moved the fans directions to avoid too much wind on the girls this morning as it was blowing pretty hard on the Crystal Meth #1 and Zkittles #1. Going to put pot elevators under all the fabric pots today to allow any water/nutrients to drain out and not be reabsorbed. Gave the Crystal Meth #1 a 2 gallon flush with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8 to try to leech out some of the nitrogen from her. I gave the other ladies a lite water if they felt dry and tucked shade leaves on the Gelato OG's, Zkittles and Purple Lemonade's. Conditions in the 4x8 are right on point for Week 7: 64-82 deg., 65-70% RH and a 11.1 VPD Heights as of 8/31- FastBuds: Purple Lemonade #1- 14" Purple Lemonade #2- 19" Crystal Meth #1- 24 Crystal Meth #2- 19" Seedsman Seeds: Gelato OG #1- 24" Gelato OG #2- 21" Zkittles #1- 17" Zkittles #2- 21" Zkittles #3- 20" 9/1- Lite water: 2 1/2 gal. de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.7 @ 74 deg. divided evenly between all but Purple Lemonade #1 as she was still very moist and the Crystal Meth #1 which got flushed with 2 gal. of 6.4 ph de-chlorinated water @ 74 deg. I did a heavy defoliation on the Crystal Meth #2 taking off all the crappy looking shade leaves that were damaged from the ph'd imbalance she had. I also defoliated both the Seedsman Gelato OG's and Zkittles #1 & #2 as they are SO bushy and leafy they needed it to get the light down into their canopies. 9/2- The FastBuds Purple Lemonade's are displaying to vastly different phenotype's with #1 growing short, squat with THICK indica leaves and the darkest green color. #1 also is exhibiting fox tail structure on her buds which are extremely resinous already. The #2 Purple Lemonade is tall with wider node spacing, a traditional bud structure with the flowers exhibiting rich purple hues contrasted by snow white pistils...beautiful! Both ladies have an extremely pungent citrus aroma to them! The Gelato OG's are both putting their energy into the multitude of bud sites that both have and both are tall, bushy plants with multiple branches although the #2 in SOHUM Living Soil is doing slightly better than #1 in Natures Living Soil. The FastBuds Crystal Meth's are both stacking nicely although the #2 will never be the beautiful specimen her sister is I'm hoping she'll finish out with a decent yield of quality smoke. The Seedsman Zkittles #1 & #2 are both doing well, both into flower with their buds just starting their development. The #3 Zkittles is doing her best to catch up to her sisters but is still about a week behind them, just coming out of pre-flower. Gave all the girls a drink of de-chlorinated water which had a ph of 6.7 @ 75 deg.. I evenly divided 4 gal between them, then went over all tucking leaves. 9/4- Gave all the girls 5 gal. of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.7 @ 74 deg. with 3 tbsp/gal of unsulphured molasses added to it and divided evenly between all. Daily branch coaxing and leaf tucking. The FastBuds ladies are all way ahead of the Seedsman girls and are well into flower. I'm guessing that the FB's will be harvested within the next 7-10 days and the Seedsman's 1-2 weeks later. All the Seedsman plants are doing fantastic! They're all bushy with good color and a ton of budsites! 9/5- Cleaned the pre-filter on the Terra-Bloom carbon filter as it was clogged. Watered all today with 4 gal de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @75 deg. with 5 ml/gal CalMag+ added. Goodbye Week 7...Here we go into the home stretch!!!

Ok so the taste test is : I like this over the girl scout cookies and the BlackBerry for daytime , It's a very nice euphoric head high that turns you into a creative genius , you feel like you could do anything you put your mind too, the buzz sticks around for a while too , It's really nice indeed , and a few months cure and she will smell fantastic ,

1/11: Fed today, but didn't have time for a photo session. Both plants look great. Really fattening now.👍 1/15: Was gonna feed today, but life got in the way...tomorrow it is... 1/16: Fed today and took some photos. Sexy bitches!😍 They are both about 2 weeks from finishing up, so I'll probably feed them with Cha ching next time, and then start flushing after they're dry again.

The lemon pie has sum stuff going on not sure if I under-watered her a little bit I did wait 4 days to water that one but I thought the soil was still good until I picked it up and it was light as a feather so I gave a cup of Ayer maybe a littler more and had I slight VPD problem I think it was 84 with like 50% humidity I added a second fan today it bounced up to 65% at 82 degrees! Please help am I over thinking or is this something bigger

Was bummed out plant got red mites at the end but that’s fine, it didn’t not impact the grow (or at least I didn’t notice.) Harvested at the end of the 6th week of flower. Trichomes had already started turning amber due to heat degradation (couch lock party) what trichomes that were not dust ridden or amber was milky so I’d say it’s ready. Choosing the best time to harvest is still puzzling for me due to the fact that this is my 4th time harvesting cannabis. Thanks for reading... more info to come ...TBC

Mental rainbow f1 has been developing well the bid site are bulking up noticeably whilst just started seeing the production of thrichomes on the main bud sites while at the smaller side branches are not that far behind the main ones

Pollen is everywhere! One female has purple red under leaves One female is quite frosty.

It was a smooth and easy grow overall. Happy with initial results. Excited about the end results...😁

Yo yo

Another Great YEAR ANOTHER WONDERFUL GROW LETS GOOOO HAPPY 420 GANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Week 7 - Oh Mehn There’s So Much To Say About These Girls, I’ll Start With The Purple Power, It Is Ready To Be Harvest Anyday Now But I’m Looking To Push It To Week 8, It Has A Strong Aroma Of Sweet Berries. The Stardawg And Girls Scout Cookies (3gal) Are Putting On Some Dense Nuggets I Like How They’re All Looking Identical That’s A Good Sign. The Stardawg Has A Lemon But Earthy Scent And The 3gal Girls Scout Cookies Smells Like A Citrus Lemon With A Hint Of Pine, The Buds Are So Hard And Sticky Mehn I Cant’t Wait To Taste These Girls. The Other Don’t Have A Scent And The Gorilla Glue Having Start To Flower Yet Probably Gonna Steal The Show In The End! And I Would Like For MSNL To Acknowledge I Grew There Auto Lemon OG Up To A 100cm Be Sure To Like My Grow Diary. Height Chart: Girls Scout Cookies: 30 1/2 (3gal) Purple Power: 29 1/2 inches Stardawg: 34 1/2 Girls Scout Cookies: 37 1/4 inches Gorilla Glue: 24 inches Lemon OG: 39 1/4 Inches

It breaks my heart to write this, but I have to officially cancel and chop down this Gorilla Melon outdoor run. I got into trouble with my neighbors. The massive smell that triggered the neighbors' heavy complaints actually came from my Orange Sherbert Auto (OSA), which was flowering right next to her in the greenhouse. However, having hunted and selected this specific Gorilla Melon phenotype myself, I know for a fact that she is an absolute terpene monster and will stink just as heavily once flowering starts. She reached a magnificent 150 to160 cm in veg, but knowing how intense her aroma gets and seeing how sensitive the neighbors are already, keeping her outside is a ticking time bomb. It’s incredibly sad and frustrating to see that despite legal progress, society is still so far away from real tolerance when it comes to a simple plant in the garden. To avoid endless conflict, safety comes first. I refuse to live in constant stress, so we are pulling the indoor season forward earlier than planned! The silver lining: Her top-tier genetics are safe with a mini mother plant indoors, and all my energy now shifts directly to my upcoming indoor Orange Cream Pop selection run. R.I.P. Big Girl. Stay tuned for the new Orange Cream Pop diary coming very soon!

8°settimana...gli do ancora 2 settimane di solo acqua,con un pochino di melassa,così la addolcisco un po'...ma sicuramente già sono super dolci al raccolto....... Mah! Guardando le mi sa che una ultima settimana di flush andrà più che bene... Faccio l'ultima settimana, dandogli solo flawless Finish e via.......dopo sarà prontissima,😋🤤😜

Still no major problems so im very happy. Theyre all continuing to fatten up and i took the first microscope shots this week and they look amazing. much more dense than any of my previous. Gorilla is behind still, guess i got a slow phenotype but its still moving along at its own pace. Starting to see amber on the others so i reckon its right at the start of the possible harvest window. I have taken off a couple of small low down popcorn buds to see how they are. I am just very impatient haha. Hopefully it continues well for the next 2 weeks!

Title: 100% ChatGPT-Guided Grow – 12/12 Fast Flower Test (With Supervision) Hey growers! This grow is an experiment: I'm letting ChatGPT guide my entire grow cycle, from lighting to nutrients to environmental tweaks. It’s all based on AI suggestions. Of course, I’ll still be keeping a close eye on things — if I see something going wrong or the plants aren’t vibing with the plan, I’ll step in. But the idea is to test how far AI can take a grow under controlled conditions.

Immediate win: steady 700 PPM from just the pilot light, no active burn needed. When turned off, it drops neatly to 400 PPM, matching the calibration point. Double-checked with the Dimlux CO₂ sensor—readings line up perfectly. Still no tracking info for the originally ordered lights, so out of impatience I grabbed two new 720W LM281B fixtures from Germany this afternoon. Should arrive Friday/Saturday. It's a Trade Assurance order, so in theory, I'm covered. Now the question: let the seedlings coast at 259 µmol for two more days, or hang the old lights to boost them to 500 µmol? Eight out of twelve are already above soil, and honestly, I’d rather not mess with the current vibe. Leaning toward leaving them be—low stress, happy sprouts. Best part: temps dropped to 27.9˚C inside the tent now that the CO₂ generator’s out. Room itself is 24˚C, so all in all pretty chill. Curious what’ll happen once those dual 720W monsters fire up… it’s gonna get toasty, no doubt. 24/05: Stocked up on new Plagron nutes—finally. Now I can lock back into the full 10-week feeding plan (Plagron Cocos + B.A.C.). Flushing the res tonight and going full reset. Mixing fresh soup right after, dialed in to match this schedule: Week 1: Plagron Cocos A/B: 2 ml/L B.A.C. Silica Power: 0.2 ml/L Plagron CalMag Pro: 0.5 ml/L B.A.C. F1 Extreme Booster: 0 ml/L EC: 0.9–1.0 pH: 5.8 PPFD: 500 DLI: 22 RH Day: 70% RH Night: 65% CO₂: 700 ppm

I believe she cherry cola good one 👍 Day 51 I relize she have deficiency in leaves that's why I ask in grow questions And someone told me to raise ny ph to 6.5 so I did that and let see what happens next week Update day 54 she start fatten up the buds guys she so fast flowering I think she is ready to harvest in 3 weeks not long to go 💪

🌅🌅🏝️💚

Finally at the end of another grow, unfortunately it's the worst grow I've done!!! My heart just wasn't in this grow! It started out well until the flowering stage. Which was right around Christmas, super busy with other things, not maintaining them every day. Leaving them days at a time 4 to5 days before checking ph & ec! So they were constantly rising to high levels, went away a few days & had a watering line come loose flooding the tent & draining the reservoir so they had no water or nutrients for days. Pure laziness!

I skipped the last week because I didn't take any pictures. But this week there's some more pictures. The buds are developing beautiful. They're growing a lot and starting to get some beautiful colours. They're starting to smell amazing as well.
