🗓️ Day 78 – Embracing the Power of Nature Another week has passed in this beautiful outdoor grow journey. The plant continues to surprise me with its strength and resilience. This past week brought intense sunlight and scorching heat, but no changes were made to the technique – I still rely entirely on nature’s rhythm. No additives, no boosters – just clean tap water and occasional Plagron Bat Guano top-dressings every 10 days. 🌿 Growth & Structure After recovering from the strong winds and heavy rain earlier this month, the plant has bounced back stronger than ever. The main cola is stretching tall and proud, and the side branches are developing nicely with consistent flower formation. 🔎 Health Observation The leaves remain lush green with no signs of deficiency or stress. The overall structure is symmetrical, with good internodal spacing and healthy development. Some light purple tint appears in the petioles – likely a natural trait under current temperature fluctuations. 💡 Minimalist Approach This grow has been intentionally simple – an experiment to see how far genetics and nature alone can take a plant. The result so far is impressive, especially for a FastBuds autoflower grown without any synthetic nutrients or intensive care. 🌸 Flowering Stage The plant is now in full flowering mode. Bud sites are clearly swelling, and trichome production has started. With a bit of patience and consistent care, we’re on track for a natural and aromatic harvest. 🌱 Soil & Feeding • Organic super soil mix • Occasional Plagron Bat Guano (every 10 days) • Tap water only – manually aerated before use No bottled nutrients. 📷 See photos for close-up bud development and overall plant structure. The FastBuds 20:1 CBD strain is proving to be a great outdoor choice – vigorous, hardy, and perfectly suited for low-maintenance growers.

Another successful harvest. This time it was my perfect girl, a very good strain, easy to grow, fast, and without many demands. Besides the controlled environment, it has a wonderful smell. The buds were very dense and sticky. Every time I touched the scissors, a strong smell emitted that filled my room. I really liked the result, and this will definitely be the first of many. My favorite so far! ✌️💪🌿🍁

The girls are doing great. I decided to eliminate Bloom Part A from their schedule to start reducing N slightly. From now on, I will also give Overdrive to Cheese and Gorilla; Skunk has already been receiving it since last week. I started flushing Pineapple, as it is definitely the closest to harvest.

Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of flowering. Man! I got spider mites. I haven't had to deal with them in years. It's a good thing I have a bit of insight and bought a Hypochlorous Acid maker. I was watering the plants 6 days ago and saw some minor spider mite damage. I got my device up and going with 1 gallon of water and 2 tsp of pure salt and 3 tsp of white vinegar. It ran for 45 minutes and it was done. The device turned that into Hypochlorous Acid. I posted the article I read, in last weeks pictures or the week before that. So far I've sprayed twice and I don't see any more leaf damage. I've still got 3 or 4 weeks more till harvest so I'll keep watch and spray some more. The acid is supposed to knock out Powder Mildew and aphides too. I'll have to try it on my zucchini plants that seem to get PM each year. I'm getting some yellowing leaves on the bottom too, which is normal. We've had no rain for 3 months now and I'm out of rainwater so I'm using dechlorinated water. I fill up 5 gallon drinking water jugs and let them sit around for a few days to dissipate the chlorine. Have some summer fun. Chuck.

Once again girl are stretching like crazy and had to be bent to avoid heat issues. Couple of branches snapped but luckily survived with some tape aid, I keep defoliating quite heavily other everyday but it's still jungle, one bigger defoliation coming on program today. I feel like the buds are forming pretty slow but that's probably because I look at them evey 2 hours haha Apart from the height issues and little bit of heat stress on the top no known issues :) Will update with some pictures tonight. thanks for checking <3

She grew 16cm this week. Almost doubled her height. Next couple of weeks could be interesting 😁

53th day of flowering. A good finish also for this fast-flowering strain. A strain that I particularly like. The buds are well formed and begin to thicken. The smell, so recognizable among all, is super strong. No doubt it's Skunk ; )

La Spider Farmer SF2000 continua a tenere a far crescere le ragazze con un ottima luce e spero di riuscire a vedere qualche colorazione tra non molto…la maggior parte dei problemi nella coltivazione della Cannabis deriva da un terreno poco drenante e da troppa 🚿 acqua quando le diamo da bere…bisogna sempre ricordarsi di alzare i vasi e vedere quanto pesano e se c’è bisogno, smuovere la terra un po’ con le mani attorno alla pianta

(11/04-11/10) First Week Notes & Observations: One week old, not much to report to report other than the first plant is smaller than the second at the start of the week. Removed the domes as the humidity in the tent is set pretty high and think it should be fine. RH this week was monitored for 80% Temps were monitored for 78F daytime and 68-70F overnight. Lights were adjusted to provide 280ppfd on plant 1 and 270ppfd plant 2 - that is also the max for this week. It's an increase from 150 last week. Feed & Monitor: Day 11 - both plants were fed about .80 gallons of 5.8ph de-chlorinated tap water for runoff. Both plants produced .25 gallons of 6.7ph and 1980/1950ppm runoff measured with 2 ph pens that were tested&calibrated first. Plant 1 top soil test after feed was avg 6.62 and plant 2 avg 6.85 both plants were tested 3 times on top soil. Made a video of plants.... not sure what is expected here, but think it will just be for fan movements and free music. Hope everyone enjoys the daily progressions of overhead and side profile (Organized Chaos). I will try to add Black back or cover pics by end of week every week.

Note: At time of writing the Runtz has had 2 weeks cure, will update the review and rate it after 2+ months cure. Hermied a bit, has very few seeds so not too bad. Growth review: - vigorous grower during veg - solid stretch - medium internode distance - small sized buds - lower buds not too airy - very easy/not fussy - medium amount of smell - 80+ days flower (12/12) in hydro DWC under full spectrum led - responded well to various lst techniques Ease of growth rating: 9/10 General note: --> For me personally this strain NEEDS a good cure and is not worth smoking yet... It has a bit of a citrus grassy (not hay) taste, with some 'special' fruity smells to it that remind a bit of grapes/cassis. When grinding/opening the curing pots there is a pretty dank heavy weed smell so I think the quality will come out after a few months of cure... In its current state not worth smoking for the taste or effect after 14 days cure. --> Currently the effect is not very strong, easy to handle and I need a lot to feel a bit. The effect lasts for short compared to the average strains I smoke. Should develop more character with a longer cure. Hash making notes: - water extraction of the trim yielded 16g of hash (45mc-220mc) - rosin has a bit too much of a weird spicy grassy taste which make it a bit unpleasant, waiting till the buds improve with cure to try again - rosin color at 80c is yellow/white/beige creamy waxy, with hard consistency - rosin color at 95c is golden with hard consistency

This grow is looking like a 9 wks flower and the 3 gallon pots are starting to look like a mistake for the bigger pheno, one I took cuttings from for her vigour and bud structure, elongated buds that stretch and will no doubt pack on some weight later. Some fan leaves are showing signs of nutrients depletion already, gave her 1 tbsp of 2-8-4 mixed in with some molasses and calmag. I don’t intend to supplement any further as there should only be approx 3 wks left. Safe to say I have preserve genetic identity 😂
