Con 22 dias, pasados 7 de la última poda de hojas y 22 del cambio de fotoperiodo me decidí por hacerles una nueva poda, esta algo más severa . Yemas, hojas y chupópteros de bajos. A partir de entonces solo se irán quitando muy de vez en cuando alguna hoja o algun brote o yema que pueda salir por ahí que no me guste, muy poca cosa. Me deshice de la malla, harto me tenia. La quité para la poda y luego me hizo mucha pereza volver ponerla. Prefiero menos cantidad. Esta semana explosión de tricomas

Diese Woche gibt es leider nur die Timelapse, da ich im Urlaub bin. Normalerweise hätte ich die Pflanze noch ein bißchen weiter trainiert, aber nun ist es halt so. 4-5 Tage muss sie noch alleine klar kommen, mal gucken ob ich sie dann noch ein bischen gebogen bekomme.

The Lavender by Seeds Mafia had some difficulties at the beginning otherwise it would have become even more super, I was wrong but the plant is still nice and produced about 25 grams dry. We like main colas and the cannabis has a nice texture. https://seedsmafia.com/en/ https://www.mars-hydro.com/

I've turned down the lights again to 60%, and with the increased feeding last week, the GMO and Glookies really seem to be getting back some green where it was almost gone. The overdose in N from CalMag Agent seemed to have done the trick. Some of the lower leaves on the Glookies are already quite dark green, and since I expect to harvest (some) in 2-5 weeks, I don't want to overfeed it now. So I have reduced the CalMag Agent level again. Sour Strawberry and Acapulco Gold are unimpressed and continue to slowly fade. They have also gained a bunch of weight again, all in all it's going ok now.

Cash Express by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🚂🌱 Vegetative Week 1 | Building Momentum Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to another chapter of this 12/12 From Seed adventure. This week we continue the journey with Cash Express Pheno A as she completes her first full week of vegetative growth and begins settling into her final home. Following a smooth germination and early seedling stage, she has now officially entered the phase where roots begin exploring new territory and the plant starts building the framework that will support the rest of the cycle. While every plant in this project shares the same environment, nutrition program, and methodology, each phenotype brings its own personality to the garden. And Cash Express Pheno A is already beginning to introduce herself. ⸻ Straight Into The Final Home As with all plants in this project, Pheno A was transplanted directly into her final container early in life. Since this run follows a strict 12/12 From Seed methodology, the objective is to avoid unnecessary interruptions to root development. By allowing the roots to establish themselves immediately inside their final container, we reduce transplant stress later in the cycle and give the plant every opportunity to maximize its limited vegetative window. At this stage, everything happening below the surface is just as important as what we can see above it. ⸻ Plagron Lightmix Foundation The growing medium for this run is Plagron Lightmix. Lightmix provides a gentle starting environment for young plants while still offering enough nutrition to support healthy early development. For seedlings, less is often more. The goal is not explosive growth during the first week. The goal is creating a stable environment where roots can expand freely and plants can establish themselves without unnecessary stress. So far, Pheno A seems very happy with the arrangement. ⸻ Water First, Feed Later The first irrigation after transplant consisted of plain water only. During the first days of life, seedlings still rely heavily on the energy reserves stored within the seed itself. Combined with the nutrition already present in the Lightmix substrate, there is little reason to rush additional feeding. Around Day 4 we introduced a gentle nutrition program consisting of: 🌱 Terra Grow 🌱 Pure Zym 🌱 Power Roots 🌱 Sugar Royal All products were used at light dosages with the goal of supporting root development, microbial activity, and overall plant health without pushing growth unnecessarily hard. The philosophy remains simple: Healthy roots first. Everything else follows. ⸻ Light Strategy & 12/12 From Seed One question that often comes up when growers follow these diaries is why the seedlings are already receiving approximately 350 PPFD. Under an 18/6 schedule this might seem relatively strong for plants this young. However, because this project is being run under a 12/12 schedule from seed, total daily light accumulation remains significantly lower than what plants would receive under traditional vegetative schedules. This is where DLI (Daily Light Integral) becomes important. Although the PPFD is moderate, the reduced lighting duration keeps the total daily light exposure within a comfortable range for young plants. The objective is early adaptation rather than rapid acceleration. By gradually introducing stronger light from the beginning, the plants learn to work efficiently under the conditions they will experience throughout the entire cycle. ⸻ Environmental Conditions Conditions remained stable throughout the week: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: approximately 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% 🌱 Solution temperature: 21°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌿 CO₂ levels: approximately 600 ppm Maintaining consistency remains one of the most important aspects of early plant development, and so far the environment has remained exactly where we want it. ⸻ Early Observations Cash Express Pheno A appears to have adapted very well to her new environment. Growth has been steady throughout the week and by the end of the reporting period we are already seeing the emergence of healthy three-finger leaves. Leaf color remains vibrant and uniform. Structure appears symmetrical. The stem is developing nicely and overall growth feels balanced and confident. At approximately 3.5 cm tall, she may still be small, but she is already showing signs of healthy progression and strong establishment. This is exactly the kind of development we hope to see during Week 1. Nothing rushed. Nothing forced. Simply healthy growth built on solid foundations. ⸻ Looking Ahead As we move into the second week, the root system should continue expanding rapidly while vegetative growth begins to accelerate above the soil. The appearance of the first true leaf sets is often where individual phenotype traits begin revealing themselves, and it will be interesting to see what characteristics Cash Express Pheno A decides to express as the journey continues. For now, she is healthy, stable, and steadily moving forward. Exactly where we want her to be. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Cash Express genetics for this project. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition and substrate supporting this run. And thank you to Future of Grow and everyone following along and supporting these diaries. Your support makes projects like this possible. As always, thank you for stopping by. Until next week… Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚🚂

First week of vegetation! They are doing very well, they have all grown and I am very happy from now on to give them more cane, as soon as they grow a little more I will plant them directly in the ground so that they have more space.

Hey hey my fellow growers, I hope everyone had an excellent week! It is great to be back here at the beginning of week six, let’s get into it! Last week I had misspoke- I said I was going to train 5 of the 6 plants I have going from fastbuds, this was false…. What I meant is all 6… Yes at the time I had only INTENDED on messing with 5 but the last one, the way it was structured with the self top, it was practically BEGGING me to get in there and play with it- and I ask you this- who would I be to deny that little strawberry pie the simple pleasure of a little training? So train I did… Nothing crazy, but actually for all six plants (despite my best efforts, best being debatable) to not go overboard- I have been going in a doing a little bit of training and taking a leaf off here and there if it’s blocking any potential bud sites. I am trying to be really careful and not do too much at once and upset any of them- but at the same time, after stunting them a bit with the taproot incident (which I will keep referring to until I learn from that mistake) I want to do what I can to maximize yield after tripping up a bit in the beginning. We will see how it goes, but for now, everything seems to be doing well and responding well to the bit of training I have been doing. Right now I am seeing a range of sizes among the bunch- the forbidden runtz are both shorter and squatier coming in at about 5.5 inches in height each and I notice everything is spaced a bit tighter on these so I have had some difficulty spreading them out but not to any problematic extent, just in comparison with the rest- Next we have the strawberry pie- the smaller one coming in at 5.5inches, is the one that I was speaking about that had topped itself. It seems to be doing well and handling the training just fine. However the other one, that one is much bigger and is about 8.5 inches tall. It wasn’t until I busted out the ruler that I saw that this was the second biggest plant of the fast buds. That leaves the largest which of course was the gorilla cookies! The smaller of the two is coming in at 8 inches and the larger one coming in at 9.5! They are both tied down and doing great, showing growth each day after being trained and having select leaves removed. We are getting closer and closer to flower I hope to have a bit more time with them but that is totally in their hands, so we will see what happens- the game plan now for me at this point is to keep doing what I’ve been doing- trying to balance on a delicate line. As far as other news… I am doing dishes the other day- I have my phone propped up with YouTube on and dude grows playing (my preferred way to do dishes) I hear the dude mention a giveaway they are doing that I had submitted an entry for recently so my ears had perked up…👀 I saw they had the contest page pulled up and on display and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be cool if I got to see my picture right now, sure enough- I hear them start talking about my pictures! I in no way won (at this point, my fingers are crossed though haha) and I realize that this is debatably anticlimactic however, I listen to these guys everyday at work so I was stoked! I still am! There are lots of good giveaways going on right now, all the amazing contests going on on this site, Instagram wherever! You have to be in it to win it folks and often it doesn’t take much to enter- I wish you all luck if you participate in any holiday contests and I hope you all have a fantastic holiday week and I will catch you all here at the same time in the same place hopefully with some new goodies and we can continue this fastbuds journey! Growers love and happy holidays everybody!!! 💚🤙🌱

02/07/2026 A new week and the last week of veg. The stretch is just around the corner. So before hand, I did a tiny bit of trimming. Just the main stem fan leaves and a couple lower hanging leaves. I also took the lowest branch off. It wasn't gonna make it anyway. She's still super full, but has plenty of open space for air flow. I'll be increasing the light intensity at some point this week. However if she starts to stretch like I expect, I shouldn't need to increase the power much. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of the canopy. Currently she's short enough. So all the light is reaching. But when the stretch starts, I'll need a deeper penetrating light source. Mine. Turned up. I'll also be changing the nutrients out at some point this week. I'm pretty sure we start transitioning from grow nutes to bloom nutes. Adding in some bud ignitor, bud factor x and big bud in small doses. I'm just waiting for the bud ignitor to come in. It's absolutely frigid outside today, so the environment in the tent is off. The humidity is fine, but the temp is low. And I already overheated one heater. Hopefully the other one gets the tent back up to snuff. Once that happens, the devices will level off finally and run at low settings if at all. We just gotta get there. As for her looks, she looks full and vibrant. Beautiful green color. Super strong branches standing straight up. S couple of them are starting to spread out now, but the majority of them are standing up close to the main stem. They are too thick to use the bud clips and I don't have tie downs, so it's all natural for her. Maybe a little push down on the top just to get the lower branches pumping. 02/08/2026 Looking good today. She is really starting to look like a little fat Christmas tree. Still no training though. The branches are long enough, but too thick. So I'm still waiting for the stretch to start. Although, I'm pretty sure it started already. Maybe. It could be a couple more days. The water is low. I was thinking about topping it off, but I'm changing it tomorrow when my bud ignitor gets here. I think that's what I'm gonna do. Either way, I'm waiting for tomorrow. She might need a gallon or so if I were to top her off. I'm not sure now. Maybe I should top off. I will say that she is hungry. She's sucking up all the nutes in the water. She'll be fine. When I swap the water out, I'll make sure to give her enough food. However, I don't really know what she needs for nutes. Maybe 550 ppm? She's drained the nutes down below 300 ppm from 450 ppm or something like that. At least she's not overfed this time. The fucking environment. No matter what I do, it just stays fucked up. There pardon the language, but it's definitely needed. So I set the humidity ton55% now it's stuck at 52%. Where yesterday it was at 57% with no problems. I don't get it. And the temp is just low. AGAIN! It was 75° yesterday. WTF. 02/09/2026 I still haven't decided what to do about the water change. I'm definitely doing it today, but I'm still waiting for a nutrient to show up. I can't decide if I want to stay with the current feed or start the transition from grow to bloom. I think I'm going to start the bloom nutrients. Just at a really low dose. So I'll be adding big bud, bud factor x and bud ignitor. We'll be keeping the voodoo juice, Tarantula and Piranha out for the rest of the run. She looks absolutely amazing. Beautiful vibrant green, thick branches and side branching coming out everywhere. She's definitely gonna be a bushy one and I'll need to defoliate a good amount. That's ok. She's healthy enough to take a pretty good hair cut. But I won't be doing so until after the stretch. I moved the humidifier around and put a hose it came with on it. So now the humidity is put in above the canopy. Hopefully it keeps the humidity in check and not constantly running. The temp is also kinda good. So no complaints there today. I also took measurements. She's 14" tall now and about 21" from the light. I was considering lifting the light up and increasing the intensity for a bigger footprint, but I don't think I need to quite yet. I'm thinking in the next couple of days I'll need to adjust it anyway. Especially because of the Apple Strudel which is 16" tall and only starting to stretch now. She's gonna be a beast. This little lady won't be small either. I don't think she is beast material though. Well, who knows maybe she is. 02/10/2026 So instead of swapping the water out today, I topped off with a half gallon of the new stuff. She's drinking about a half gallon a day, so I'll continue to feed the normal dose but in half gallon intervals over the course of the week. Then I'll change out the water with the regular dose. Regular as in 1/3 dose from what the manufacturer says. It should be fine. Update: I decided to swap out the water. Lol Readings: pH: 5.8 EC: 898 TDS: 450 Temp: 64.7° We will have to see how she likes this mix. A couple hours later: So far it looks good. I'm not exactly sure what to look out for. According to both the Advanced Nutrients app and the FastBuds autoflower schedule, I'm perfectly in range. Anyway, she looks fantastic! Beautiful colors. Strong side branching. Best of all, it's starting to spread out. So more and more bud sites may be grown. I'll just have to cut some select leaves after the stretch. We'll see how it goes. I have a good feeling about this plant. Not sure how big she'll get, but her buds should be POTENT. 02/11/2026 So I forgot to add an ice bottle last night. Now there's big bubbles on top of the water and on the roots. Not really sure what it means, but both plants did it. This one and the Apple Strudel. Maybe it's the mix with the new nutrients, like bud ignitor and bud factor x. Maybe the water was too warm and I screwed up. We'll find out at some point today or tomorrow. I'm gonna have to check the EC and TDS to make sure it's staying the same. If it's raising, I know I have too much nutrients. But I don't think so. I hope it's not another algae bloom. It didn't look like this before though. Maybe a new issue? I'll keep an eye on it. Other than that, she looks amazing. Taking a very nice shape all by herself. She has clear layers of leaves and branches. Directly from the side, you can see them. It's very nice. Don't get me wrong, unless she stretches considerably, I'll definitely be defoliating after the stretch. Plus I'm expecting bigger leaves. The environment seems pretty decent as well. Doesn't seem any equipment is having issues either. Something I'll note is the color of the leaf tips. They are dark, but barely. No claw either. So I'm only noting it. Not too worried about it. We'll see how things go throughout today. It's not like I'm pumping her with like 1000 ppm or anything. It's like 450. There shouldn't be any issues whatsoever except for maybe being a little underfed, but this doesn't seem to be the case. She seems very happy and healthy. Wanting for nothing. She has all she needs. 02/12/2026 Not much to report today. She's stretching and her leaves are all filling out making her explode with growth. She looks amazing. Still growing one main cola though. I can tell. It's gonna be short I think, but the rest of the plant will have caught up by then. I don't expect small buds from this plant either. She's definitely gonna pack them on. But, if this is in fact a blue dream, the buds will be pointy and long. Let's hope these branches grow long enough for a hand full of foot long colas. The environment looks pretty good too. Equipment is running just fine. The water this morning wasn't warm, so that's good. I did however replace the ice bottle. The pH is fine. I haven't taken it, but I'm guessing with the pH perfect technology, it's 6.1 to 6.3. perfectly within range. I'll check numbers this afternoon and report then. Also, from the looks of it, the water seems fine. No films, no smells, just bubbles. I wonder if they make a styrofoam bucket insulation thing. That'd be nice to have instead of always swapping out ice bottles. Oh well. I also have to top her off today. I just checked. Looks like maybe a half gallon? Maybe a little more? I'm trying to wait for a gallon, but the water looks so low. Oh well. I'm still topping off today. Lol. Update: So I added a half gallon of the current dose and the EC and TDS are lower than what they were when I swapped out the water. Am I supposed to increase the dose as needed? But I don't know what I need exactly. I'm pretty sure she is hungry and needs more nutrients, but I don't want to overdo it. Plus I have to figure out a way to not take the plant out of the bucket. She's getting big and cumbersome. Plus with the other plant in the tent, maneuvering around without pressing too hard against the other plant and the walls is damn near impossible. The heater is in the way. Like really in the way. I would need to take the heater out, move all the wires and hoses just to put the reserve bucket in place. I suppose I can pump out a gallon, add more mix and then dump it back in and let the bubbles and top feed system mix it in. I'd rather mix it in by hand, but again, I can't lift the plant from the bucket. I mean, maybe I can pump out the full bucket, dose it properly and then pump it back in. That wouldn't be too bad. 🤔. I might do that. At least with this plant. The other plant has a lot more space to move around. I can lift that one out... for now. She's gonna be big. Anyway, that's all for today. 02/13/2026 Lookin good today. She definitely exploded in growth. No height yet, but definitely filling out. I expect the height to come soon enough. She's only like 15" tall. I need double that. Lol I swapped the ice bottles out. She wasn't warm so that's a good thing. Keep it cool. I'm starting to think that maybe this isn't the stretch or just the very beginning. The upward growth is like a vegging plant. Not one that in a super stretch mode. Maybe I was off by my stretching timing. We'll see. The environment looks good today. Or well, has been looking good. I guess not that it was all that bad, but a little cool. It's fine. I've still got the humidity at 55% and temp at 75°. I think when I start to see actual buds, I'll drop it to 50%. Oh, I won't be turning the humidifier off. It's staying right where it is because the humidity in the house is like 29%. Unless the plants get big enough to start putting off their own humidity. Then, well, it'll just turn off and do nothing except sit there. I'd much rather not use it, but it's ok if it turns on a little bit. I doubt it will turn on much. It still might even at 45%. Readings: pH: 6.35 EC: 777 cm TDS: 382 ppm Temp: 66°

The prefect plant if you want something fruity with a short flowering time! This plant explodes in thc and even considering she was not in optimal conditions. I had some bugs, trips to be precise, so i applied neem, but the concentration was too high so i burned some leaves and stems 🤦 Finally the yield was highly affected due to the above mentioned, still the buds are amazing, highly covered in snow, specially from the smaller clones i had, the suggestion is to use support to ensure the plant can manage the buds

Switched out the tiny T5 for an LED. The light has really increased the temp, so adjusted humidity accordingly. Transferred into 1 gallon pots with Great White, then fed. Noticed a couple burned tips.

This week, we've gained a lot 😁😜 The buds are almost formed 💪, getting ready for late flowering 👻

Nine weeks since the switch and the Runtz have had 7 weeks of actual flowering. I've noticed more trichomes were produced, wich I checked and most of them were still clear, maybe 10-20% was getting milky and very few were amber. I want to see way more amber before harvest, so +/- 70 days of 12/12 will be needed. This week was the last time I gave them nutrients. That was on the first day. The rest of the week I gave them ph adjusted tapwater every other day. (ec 0.5 – ph 6.24) Next week I'll start flushing with ec levels of 0.3 For that I will use a mix of tap water and demineralized water. 3 liters(0.8 gallon) tapwater and 2 liters (0.5 gallon) of demineralized water gives a 0.3 ec level. The distance between the cobs and the plants got a bit higher, from 48cm(19inch) to 55cm (21.5 inch) and the power of the cobs was reduced to 300watt. Autumn is here...🍂🍁 Temperatures stayed between 18,4 – 23,9 °C (65 – 75 °F) and humidity levels between 34 – 50 % One week of ripening & flushing and then it will be time to harvest.

Hello Diary. I am very happy that we are starting again. I’m going back to Automatics again. Many thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for sending me two of their new strains, Green Gelato Automatic and HulkBerry Automatic. So this is the first of two new diaries. WHY GREEN GELATO AUTOMATIC? Green Gelato Automatic is the autoflowering version of a legendary cannabis variety. The original strain is the lovechild of Thin Mint Cookies and Sunset Sherbet. It's one of the most aromatic strains available and produces monstrous levels of THC. Green Gelato Automatic contains both sativa and indica genetics. Her effects can be felt in the body and mind simultaneously. In fact, with a THC content of 24%, she's one of the most potent autoflowering strains you can find. She sends the mind into overdrive and makes a perfect smoke when writing, painting, or doing anything creative. The strain also boasts medicinal properties, taking the edge off pain, elevating mood, and raising appetite. LET'S START FIRST WITH THE FARM SET-UP: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO 200+ Ventilation - Blauberg Turbo - E 100 Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan Humidifier - Beurer LB 45 Soil - BIOBIZZ Light - Mix Pot - 11L Fabric Pot from RQS Seed - Royal Queen Seed Nutrition - BioBizz and RQS Organic nutrition I apologize in advance for the detailed documentation, or the large number of photos, but I enjoy it, and I think it will help others around tracking their plants. LET THE DIARY START OFFICIALLY: 10/06/2020. planting. I have prepared everything I need for planting. The 11lit fabric pot I got from RQS, also Organic Boost Nutrition and Mycorrhizza from RQS, Soil is Light-Mix from BioBizz and of course the seed of the new strain Green Gelato Automatic. After adding 50g of pellets from Organic Nutrition and 5g of Mycorrhizze, I mixed everything well in the pot. After that I watered well and soaked the soil, I dug a hole with a wooden stick about 2-3 cm, I first put 1g of mycorrhize and then put the seeds inside. I lightly covered the hole with earth and put the pot in his new home. The temperature was about 25 degrees and the humidity about 65%. 14/06/2020. She sprouted. After 4 days, Green Gelato came out. In the meantime, I sprayed the surface of the earth a little twice. The temperature is still around 26 degrees, thanks to the summer and the high temperature that enters the apartment anyway. I regulate the humidity with a humidifier, I maintain it around 60% -65%. 15/06/2020. Her first photo shoot, I also watered her with about 2 liters of water, which I only regulated p.H. at 6.3 with Plagron, Lemon Kick. 19/06/2020. Day 1. Green Gelato is officially one day old. On that occasion I took another photo shoot to celebrate this big day :). 24/06/2020. First Feeding First feeding. She got a whole meal from BioBizz, Root-Juice, Bio-Heaven and Acti-Vera, p.H of water I regulated with Lemon Kick from Plagron. 25/06/2020. Day 7. End of the first week. For now, everything is great. It is developing nicely, its conditions are almost perfect. Green Gelato will also have two roommates in the box, HulkBerry Automatic. Green Gelato - Day 7. - 10 cm I think that’s all for this week, I’m happy that it’s starting all over again, following its development and looking forward to what’s to come. See you next week.

Finish 🔥

More plant porn hehe... Not sure if that pollination was from the last week or the one before cutting. Either way this was the las week before chopping it down!

This plant just amazes me how many thricomes it has , i would definitely recommend this strain. I'm curious how it will smoke when it dries up! 😁 It smells very fruity and piney and you can see the crystals shining on it. Very happy with the results 🙂

She's coming along nicely. I top dressed with living soils grow. I'm going to start LST soon

1/22/2024 - Day 22 veg: today is the 1st day of week 4, and every is going well. Lightly watered just to keep the top soil moist, but my moisture level further down is still good. She is showing some very minor tip burn, but nothing I'm concerned about. 1/27/2024 - Day 27: was out of town the last few days, and she is definitely starting to flower already. Seeing some very minor tip burn, but other than that she appears healthy. Not as big as I would have like to see her get before flowering, but it looks like the issue with the foiler spray stunted her a bit.
