Smoking_Joe_Frasier’s Natural Grow Diary – Fast Buds Outdoor Contest 2025
Week 5: Pre-Flower Surge and Canopy Management Update: 27.06 2025 | Day 45 Consistent 32°C+ temperatures require watering every 2-3 days as roots fully occupy the 15L pots. Slow, edge-focused watering ensures lower soil activation without runoff. Strain Progress: Forbidden Runtz She's showing the furthest progress. Colas start to form and I only bend down branches that overshadow other parts of the plant. The smell develops a distinct fruity scent just by rubbing the stems. Can't wait for the full bloom aroma. This girl appears to be a definite winner in all aspects. Bruce Banner She's really pulling off the growth show now! Keeping up feels demanding - bending every new shoot while managing space constraints around the fabric pot. From above, numerous bud sites emerge through the canopy. The structure shows incredible potential - imagining this genetic as a photoperiod tree excites future plans. FastBuds delivers impressive genetics. Green Crack Last week's prediction holds true: overdrive mode engaged! While not matching Bruce's pace, she's nearly caught Forbidden Runtz in size. Within 48 hours, white pistils transformed nodes into defined bud sites. Strategic tie-downs on dominant tops redirected energy to younger shoots, creating a balanced canopy. Environmental Management: - Greenhouse humidity stabilized (25-28°C) - Evening watering with temperature-matched water - Zero runoff maintained to preserve soil biology Next Priorities: - Apply Bokashi juice (1:100) - microbes will activate Biotabs nutrients - Continue selective LST adjustments - Monitor lower canopy light penetration - Sniff aroma development daily The real bud porn begins when colas start stacking - patience and observation now pay dividends later. Catch ya next week. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

04/03/2020 All are doing well. #5 (Male) has gotten a lot more sturdy, all other will be Given numbers when Repotted to final pots. Today is day 21 and will be first real week of veg at 18-6 will veg until mature enough to flower, 55 days maybe?, that will give me time figure out how many males and females I got to work with. I will most likely pollinate a branch of each female to try and isolate some cherry vanilla terps mmm! Ps. As soon as they are big enough I will get one clone of each female and male. (Future Breeding ideas). And save to compare with the next 5 beans out of my 10 pack. I'm dreaming of cherry cheese cake flavor, or cherry lifesaver.

Eccoci qui... Per problemi di lavoro ho tardato un pò la pubblicazione delle foto, la piccola è molto vigorosa ed emana un forte odore.. Già si può vedere la resina che si inizia a formare sulle cime in alto... Sono estremamente soddisfatto della sua crescita finora e sono sicuro che mi riserva sorprese, odore veramente intenso. Grazie a tutti per il supporto, NON VEDO L'ORA DI RACCOGLIERLA 🔥🌲❤️
Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia Pheno B
🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 1 Flower | Every Phenotype Tells Its Own Story The beauty of running multiple phenotypes from the same genetic line is seeing how each plant writes its own story. While her sister has already embraced the flowering stretch with a tall, elegant frame, Pheno B has chosen a different path. She has remained compact, sturdy, and methodical, investing her energy into building a strong structure before fully committing to flower. Although both plants germinated together, share the same environment, receive exactly the same feeding schedule, and have been trained using the same techniques, nature reminds us that every seed carries its own personality. This slight delay isn’t a disadvantage—it’s simply another expression of the genetics, and one that I’m excited to follow over the coming weeks. As always, this grow continues under my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. Instead of giving the plants an extended vegetative period, they are flowered from the very beginning, allowing each phenotype to naturally reveal how efficiently it can grow, stretch, and produce within a shorter lifecycle. It’s an amazing way to discover unique expressions while making excellent use of indoor space. ⸻ 🌱 Environment Since both Amnesia Haze phenotypes share the same flowering room, Pheno B has enjoyed exactly the same stable environmental conditions throughout the week. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 31.1°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 72% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21.6°C ? Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: ~639 ppm Maintaining stable environmental conditions is one of the biggest factors behind healthy plant development. Rather than constantly chasing numbers, I prefer creating consistency. Healthy roots, stable temperatures, proper humidity and good airflow allow the plants to focus entirely on growth instead of adapting to environmental swings. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Management Just like her sister, Pheno B continues receiving only gentle Low Stress Training together with regular leaf tucking. No heavy defoliation has been necessary. Instead, large fan leaves are simply repositioned whenever needed to expose developing flowering sites underneath. This approach improves light penetration and airflow while allowing the plant to keep nearly all of her solar panels working at full capacity. Because she’s naturally shorter and more compact, her canopy already has excellent structure. The goal now is simply encouraging every future cola to receive as much light as possible while allowing her to complete her stretch naturally. Sometimes the best training is knowing when not to over-train. ⸻ 🌾 Feeding Program This week represents that interesting transition where the plant isn’t fully vegetating anymore, but hasn’t completely entered flower either. For that reason I’m currently combining both vegetative and flowering nutrients, allowing the plant to transition smoothly without experiencing unnecessary stress. Current feeding: • Plagron Terra Grow — supporting continued structural growth during stretch. • Plagron Terra Bloom — gradually introducing the phosphorus and potassium needed for flower initiation. • Plagron Power Roots — encouraging continuous root expansion while the plant transitions. • Plagron Sugar Royal — supporting terpene and flavour production from the very beginning. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient availability by breaking down old root material. • Plagron Power Buds — stimulating the natural transition into flowering and encouraging additional flower site formation. This balanced approach ensures the plant still receives enough nitrogen to fuel stretch while slowly shifting nutritional priorities toward flower production. ⸻ 🌿 Phenotype Spotlight Pheno B is quickly becoming the “compact powerhouse” of the pair. Standing at approximately 55 cm, she’s significantly shorter than her sister but carries noticeably tighter internodal spacing and a much denser canopy. Every branch feels sturdy, every node is closely stacked, and the overall structure suggests she may eventually produce a very compact field of dense flowers. Flower initiation is just beginning. Fresh white pistils are appearing across every growing tip, and the stretch is only starting to gain momentum. Rather than racing upward, she’s carefully building each level before moving on to the next. One thing that immediately stands out is how balanced her architecture already is. Even with very minimal intervention, multiple future flowering sites are receiving excellent exposure, and her natural symmetry should make canopy management straightforward over the coming weeks. Sometimes slower simply means stronger. If this structure carries through to harvest, she has every opportunity to become one of those incredibly satisfying plants that stays manageable in size while producing remarkably dense, resin-rich colas. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect Pheno B to fully commit to flowering as the stretch accelerates and the first true bud sites begin to stack along every branch. Training will remain minimal, with continued leaf tucking and occasional adjustments to maintain an open canopy. Feeding will continue following this gradual transition toward a full flowering program while carefully monitoring her response as nutrient demand increases. Her sister may have taken the lead in flowering, but Pheno B is quietly building something very promising. Sometimes the plants that start slower end up delivering the biggest surprises. ⸻ Thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make projects like this possible, and to Plagron for keeping these ladies thriving with an outstanding nutrient line throughout every stage of growth. Finally, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following along, sharing your knowledge, offering encouragement, and making this hobby even more enjoyable. Every comment, question, and bit of support motivates me to keep documenting the journey one week at a time. Until next week, growers love and … Happy Growing! 🌱💚
Testing my auto strains
This week was all good she starting to go right into flower now she's got a nice smell to her .kind of like fuel or gas.Will be interested to try more of the seeds that I have .I will just put them in the ground because of my coco grow that I've got to concentrate on later this month. Will have a lot of diaries to deal with.thank you for looking at the diary and will be an update on this plant every week till finish. Happy growing and remember it's 420 somewhere
Organic Fastbuds 1st Grow.
The girls are fully in flower this week which of course is a GREAT sight to see when opening the tent. The smell in the tent is so sweet and fruity it's already making your mouth water!! So this week I feed the girls with a little of the living soil veg so they are still getting a helping hand. They were also given the living soil bloom and some barley which I will admit is the first time using it but so far me plus the girls are very much enjoying!! I have done the necessary light de-foliating on all 4 girls over the past 2 weeks and more LST. Happy toking guys and girls!! Will keep you all posted with more videos through the week so please keep checking back 🙂

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Fastbuds GSC x Barneys Red diesel 6 weeks of flowering completed 9th April 2020 Hi Everyone I hope you are all feeling well and keeping busy during the lockdown. It's raining cats and dogs here (lucky there's no chinese around LMFAO) and the humidity is 100% so today Ive chopped this little lady down and she is now drying up in my shed with fans going 24/7. I was quite pleased with the amount of bud I got off her and it's smelling fantastic and is very sticky.The trichomes were very milky with a few amber as well. 😍 very easy to grow no fuss and no problems but we'll have to wait and see as to whether she is a good smoke or not . Now for this weeks Aussie Music videos 👊 Because we are almost at the end of this grow I thought I had better add a few extra songs this week to make sure I get a decent selection of Diffrent music videos for you all to check out. So for this weeks selections I chose Empire of the Sun 👊 Walking on a Dream https://youtu.be/eimgRedLkkU Big Pig 👉 (from Bill n teds excellent adventure) 👊 I can't break away https://youtu.be/f_rfXVdYelA Peking duk 👊 Reprisal https://youtu.be/4GboBAg2Syo The white stripes 👊 Seven nation army https://youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY Grinspoon 👊 Chemical Heart https://youtu.be/58mXxWuUqYw The hilltop hoods 👊 Leave my lonely https://youtu.be/yKifJ4Q5ph0 And Silverchair 👉Not bad for a bunch of 16yr olds which they were at the time this video was made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD982yrmx4 The Next update will be the Final harvest update with the dried n trimmed buds etc. I will also have to add another heap of tunes in that I had wanted to play , so keep an eye out for my next Update of Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music videos .😀 Until then Stay safe and Keep lit And we'll all get thru this Together 🙏 👍
Runtz selected pheno
Always a very pleasing on the eye strain to grow and was surprisingly easy to get a good yield with such a short veg and almost no training. Quality is pretty much 10/10
First grow 2 Auto and a Photo

GMO Zkittlez F1 Reg. - Ethos genetics / Indoor
Wir schreiben die vierte Woche der Wachstumsphase. Letzte Woche hatte ich erst das Gefühl es verschlimmert sich, dann hat es sich scheinbar verbessert. Ich bin mir ehrlich gesagt noch nicht 100% sicher was jetzt das genaue Problem ist bzw was den Pflanzen fehlt. Sind sie jetzt von einem Cal/Mag Defizit in eine Überdüngung geraten? 🤔 Oder sind es wirklich einfach nur die kleinen Töpfe..? Naja die Pflanzen sind mittlerweile auf jeden Fall jeweils zu viert in ihren 15l Töpfen (Endtöpfe), haben also jeweils ca 3,75l Substrat,... mit der üblichen Mischung + Biotabs Palette ( leider finde ich hier keine Auswahlmöglichkeit zu Mengenangaben von Feststoff.-/Streudünger wie g/l(Substrat) ) Außerdem haben sie eine schöne BoomBoom Spray Dusche bekommen, fantastisches Zeug - ich liebe es und die Pflanzen lieben es noch viel mehr. Der Topf mit den Automatics steht jetzt hinten links.

And they bounced back so fast and so good that i decided to give them some hard training and i topped her again and defoliate her as much as possible, she might take a few days to respond to it all ( since i was kind a hard on them) but i belive it was for the best, we will c 😆😅💚 Gave them some water today and no NPK at all , from now one i will not include any NPK on my watering until i change it to flower. Gave them a bit more training today since they wore all praying like no tomorrow lol and with it i spray some NutriSpray From Haptus Holland to help them move a bit faster hihihihi As always thank you guys for your love , your time, your support and it all, i fell blessed and i am truly thankful 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌 All i grow is medicine for myself, for me and for my best friend with is me 😆 nothing to sell, so don’t even ask 😅💚💚💚 All info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://viparspectra.eu/collections/grow-lights DISCOUNT CODE 5% - DOGDOCTOR ( all store ) https://www.zamnesia.com DISCOUNT CODE 10% - GROWITGD ( just for seeds ) https://aptus-holland.com/ #aptus #aptusplantteck #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #viparspectra #zamnesiaseeds #growerslove With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚💚💚 More info and updates @ https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctor https://instagram.com/dogdoctorofficial https://youtube.com/channel/UCR7ta4DKLFMg2xxTMr2cpIg 💚💚💚Growers love to you all 💚💚💚

11 Noviembre: Primer riego con 2.5EC y 5.9pH, runoff de 2.9EC y 6.2pH, en una semana más ya deberían estar recibiendo 3.0EC y seguir con esa concentración por todo el cultivo. Alturas están entre 15cm y 20cm. 13 Noviembre: Riego 2.5EC y 5.9pH, runoff de 3.3EC y 6.2pH. Hoy se removieron los primeros nodos de cada planta y se les hizo poda apical. 14 Noviembre: Riego 2.5EC y 5.9pH, runoff de 3.3EC y 6.2pH en la mañana. En la tarde se realizó transplante a maceteros definitivos de 5 litros con 4 litros de sustrato aprox. el cual fue pre cargado hasta la capacidad de campo, con 3.0EC y 5.8pH, desde este punto se debe esperar un par de días hasta que el dryback(secado) del sustrato sea de un 35-40%, lo cual vendría siendo el primer P3 del cultivo, una vez se alcance ese porcentaje de secado, se comenzará con los primeros riegos de precisión llamados P1.
