Added bud factor X and bud ignitor, hammerhead , 2.5 liters each 3 days , budding ist nice and getting thicker

What’s up fellow Growmies! Got another exciting strain from Canuk Seeds... Cement Shoes! Yep, gonna be sleeping with the fishes. Lol First time trying this strain but so far it’s been a breeze. I kinda took a break from documenting my grows because life got a bit hectic for a bit their, but I’m back and got some more great strains lined up for the future. Gonna try and do an outdoor RDWC setup this summer so stay tuned, gonna be some monsters hopefully! I’ve never seen it done really and I have a few ideas...lol but anyway, back the the cement shoes. So I started them awhile back(not exactly sure when) in my smaller tent(3x4) under a single 1200w King LED grow light. They spent about 2 months in this tent in 3 gal DWC buckets until they outgrew the buckets and tent and need to be moved. Up until this point they were kinda just on auto pilot in the background of my other larger tents. But I was planning on reducing my plant count in my larger 4x8 tents so I decided to go from 4 plants per tent to 2 plants per tent, so we needed some big girls to fill these tents. Lol they were topped at 3-4th node and just let them go from there. They ended up being about 3 feet tall above the 1ft tall buckets. Moved them over too one of my bigger 4x8 tents and added a screen very carefully and ScrOG’d them out. Still waiting on my new Eye HPS Bulb so they are still currently under my 1000w MH. I’ll post all the pics I can find in this weeks log from the veg time and they are about 2 weeks into flower now so I’ll snap some flower pics soon and continue from there. So far 2 plants vegged a bit longer are filling the shoes of 4 plants no problem. Having more space means I also have not had to really defoliate at all. Well that’s it so far, stay tuned for more! Cheers 💨

Kaiydaan started showing signs of Flowering early last week. A few stigmas, Pre-Flowering, but still more Vegetative. So I decided to consider this week "Flowering". She was popping stigmas before 21 days. So far these WeedSeedsExpress genetics have shown to be exceptional. I will be slowly reducing her Veg feedings and slowly working in Bloom nutrients. I feed very sparingly as the soil has been amended with all the good stuff, organically. I think my light may have been too close, so I raised it a couple of inches to 20". I'm not 100% sure it was too close, but it's better to be safe than sorry. July 1, 2021 Little calyxes have started showing all over Kaiydaan. Kaiydaan has really breezed into Flowering without any hiccups *knock on wood. July 2, 2021 I did some tucking-of-the-leaves and some mild LST on the entire crop. I had to tuck one of Kaiydaan's taller tops. I snapped one of her other tops, but quickly got her into 🚑Urgent Care and she's as right as rain. July 3, 2021 That main top, I tucked on Kaiydaan, has turned right back up and has put on some height. Trichomes are starting to pop and the leaves are sticky. She still has no smell or none that I've noticed. July 5, 2021 I'm still dialing back the Veg nutrients on Kaiydaan and Freeman. J is still vegging strong, very light defoliation as she is ALL tops. We're only 1 month away until My Freeman's birthday! July 6, 2021 I just watered the girls, they're not big drinkers yet, a liter every 3 days. J seems to be a different Pheno from the rest. Her leaves have more texture and she appears to be all tops (likely due to the FIM'ing she underwent) and she is over a week behind Kaiydaan and Freeman.

No problems. 👋Good I like her style. In maybe 1-2 weeks she becomes another place in my tent. If its free. Yes a big big tent.... 0,36 m². OK not so big, but hey, its still illegal in my land. And with such a small tent l=small yield im not in the heavy criminal scene. But sry law. Since the first time I smelled weed, not smoked, I knew. THIS IS IT! 24.09. 😛 💪 Nice girl.

*Plant #3 *Probably could go a little while longer, but here we go! *Sprouted on November 3rd *Day 101, Week 15 *Week 8 of flower * 3 gallon fabric pots * Own mix of soil ( Happy Frogs, Ocean Forest, compost, worm castings, DE, ,perlite...) * Fed bone meal , cal mag, and Dr. Earth's Flower Girl 3 9 4 *Smells very fruity and sweet, super sticky, slight diesel * Swapped between SF1000 and some Alphapar light, believe 150 *Going to attempt to dry in the closet , no room in tents *Will update with weight and smoke report when I can Update 3/18) All 5 plants have been chopped! I stopped weighing at 6 8 oz when I ran out of jars. Very sticky, sweet, fruity smell with a slight hint of pepper on one. Fantastic smoke, burns great and tastes amazing. Great for day time.

She has stretched a bit this week and started to show flowers. I removed a few leaves, and I did another refill of the reservoir. That's all that happened this week.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and still not much going on. Gave her water and nutes yesterday and just letting her fatten up as much as possible before chopping. From the looks of her, she’s still got a couple weeks but starting to show quite a bit of cloudy trichs but still quite a few clear. Day 72 - No major issues still, she is definitely foxtailing and not looking like the buds are gonna be as fat and dense and they could be but thinking it was either because of the heat we had for a bit or could of been from stress when I did the heavy defoliation or just a combo of them both but she’s for sure stinky and sticky and should still produce a good amount. I did give her two gallons of water and nutes today and thinking about just straight water from here on out. Day 73 - Still nothing new today but I am noticing that most of the colas aren’t really fattening up much but continuing to foxtail so might end up chopping her this weekend, especially since she’s pretty much all cloudy trichs in there with just a few sporadic clear and ambers. Gonna give her a few more days to see what happens and decide what to do this weekend. Day 74 - She’s most likely going to be getting the chop tomorrow. She’s foxtailing pretty bad now and I looked all over and couldn’t find any clear trichs, all cloudy with scattered amber. So instead of her continuing with the foxtailing, I’ll harvest her and salvage what I can. Day 75 - Nothing new, decided to give her another day or two before chopping, might end up doing it on Sunday. Day 76 - Still not ready to chop this girl yet so gonna give her a little more time and might not do it tomorrow either. Might end up giving her another week. Every time I think I’m ready to chop, I’ve been told to give her another week so that’s what I’m gonna do. Day 77 - The end of week 11 and giving her some more time before chopping. Not sure when I’m gonna cut her down yet but she keeps throwing out more and more pistils so letting her go at least another week.

Let’s go 🔥🔥🔥 Lampe auf 12/12 bei 60% 💡 Der Wassertank ist wieder am Start! 🌊 Sie scheint es jetzt viel besser zu vertragen. Gegossen wird nur noch ganz dezent, um die Living Soil im oberen Bereich leicht feucht zu halten. Ab und zu gibt’s ein bisschen Komposttee – alles andere holt sie sich direkt aus der Erde. 🌱 Blüte seit dem 5.11 am Start und bisher läuft alles nach Plan 😎🍁

Week 20/12 - 5/1 2 January - Harvest!

Day 40 from Seed ( 3 in flower): Yet another good week for these rapidly changing ladies. I have kept them in Mega crop at 1g/L and they seem very happy at that. This Mega crop is the best nute I have used in decades of growing. so simple to use in all aspects and the results are amazing. I am also blown away by the ecothrive living soil. now it has kicked into gear it is killing the coco girls by a mile in size for every strain. I have backed off the silica and calmag now to see how they get on with just plain water and the nutes the spil makes itself on them. The coco girls are getting a .5g upping of MC next feed now they are in flowering and their stretch mode. My fears of too much N have been put to rest now and it was the light intensity causing issues across the crop and not nute strength. #1 has had to be staked down and tied back daily to keep her from taking off vertical. The 90° bend early on has not done her a bit of harm at all and even with the trunk split and spread , she is building on the support for it as she packs the size on. Her pot has a great mulch layer with some excellent greenery low down to die back and be the next layer of food below the soil. All my removed leaf and tips have been put into this layer now too so should be perfect for the "no-till" 2nd use of them ( fast buds fast flowering girls will fly in them !!) The coco girls are responding great to their training too. They have some thick stem growth so are planning some serious bud weight. I will be thinking them out a little in the next few days to get all those sites lit up for their push to buds. Brilliant strain from fast buds and cannot wait to sample their delights. Thats when the Los pots will prove even more viable . fully organic and no need to flush.. Catch you in your grows and a huge thankyou to Heather at Fast buds for being a top rep and so responsive. Deserves a raise guys !!!!

Second week of vegetation they are going very well and lets see how it goes

stems are wounded in the middle as mentioned when they started flowering,my white table has fallen on parts of the plants and damaged the main stem and a few branches. i tied and bandaged the main stem and supported with sticks. They flowered almost as if nothing happened except for a few small branches that stopped getting nutes and died in the pics you can see how the main stems got severely broken in the middle. in the last 2 weeks there has been a few weather changes such as storm,heat,and colder climate during night time, i was ready for storm with a plastic roof on top-they were perfectly protected from water and winds and stayed healthy during 2 days of winter.got a perfect color due to colder nights and today decided they are ripe.trichs are cloudy mostly

D57 Ninth week humidity problems, I added a fan in total 3, added an additional extractor that introduces fresh air, I constantly keep the growbox open, so the risk of mold seems to have been avoided. stop PK 13 14 and big bud, now only biobizz for my fat.

Looking so delicious 😋 buds coming along nicely these girls are getting so frosty and giving off a sweet creamy lemon smell. Full trichome heads everywhere this week (still all clear of course) Buds getting denser and stickier by the day can’t touch them without my fingers sticking together. Did a heavy defoliation and a little more lollipopping earlier this week..I’m more than impressed with these genetics! Even with the tent closed I can smell them from the next room already. - Day 47 update I just bought a Blue Lab ph pen and some Terpinator at my local Hydro shop and they gave me some free Dyna Gro mag pro so I will be adding both to my feeding schedule.

:) Day 72 ~2.25L per plant - 56ml Sensi Bloom A / 56ml Sensi Bloom B / 28ml B-52 / 28ml Bud Candy / 28ml Overdrive - 14L Mix ~ 2.25L per plant Day 75 ~2.5L per plant - 56ml Sensi Bloom A / 56ml Sensi Bloom B / 28ml B-52 / 28ml Bud Candy / 28ml Overdrive - 15L Mix ~ 2.25L per plant

1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 Both "A" and "B" put on an inch overnight. Now that the soooperstunted mutant runt is acting like a normal plant, so henceforth I'll refer to her as "C." 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 days🙏 ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more days🙏😟..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.👌 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 I moved #3 into the tent with my DWC rig to veg a little longer. 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. #3 is still vegging in my SCROG tent with the #8 FFT DWC plant. She's coming along, but still not ready for prime time.. That's it for week 4-

Week 4: Light defoliation
