Been a tuff week as my ph pen failed so had signs of defiantly But that’s now corrected so hope it didn’t set them all back too much

Ciao a tutti! Settimana spettacolare! I fiori sono veramente raddoppiati, non ho mai avuto tutto questo profumo che mi invade letteralmente tutta casa e oltre, veramente uno spettacolo, dolcissimo, fruttato! 😂🤣 non sono mai riuscito ad ottenere tutti questi tricomi e terpeni vari, non vedo l'ora di raccogliere! Ancora una settimana / 10 giorni di acqua fertilizzata poi penserò al flush! 20 giorni scarsi e ci siamo 🤩🤩🤩🍀🍀🍀😎😎😎💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Welcome to my Fast Buds sponsored shootout and living organic soil v coco side by side. I also plan to use this grow to my full advantage regarding a few age old nagging questions about methods. I have had a keen interest in L.O.S ( supersoil) since reading a few threads a while back on how amazing and productive it can be. After too much research and procrastinating I had to give it a go. I have been a decades coco/nft grower and recently threw my hat in the rdwc ring too. I have avoided soil due to the overwatering worry ( heavy handed chimp brain !) and the best potting soil/feeds. Catching up on the advances in indoor soil gardening and organics led me too subcools supersoil recipes to name a few but being a town dweller with farms everywhere around me still drew blanks on a lot of the ingredients needed and where the hell I could even begin to get them from. Thankfully , commercial savvy has now made buying it in ready to use and with a full range of beneficial bacteria ect available in amendments from a grow shop here in the uk. ecothrive have realised the potential for us to dive into this medium with all the mixing , measuring and resourcing. I bit the bullet and £150 later I now have 4 x37Litre pots that will be used for as long as I want to feed the soil for without EVER needing nutrients again potentially. The coco has also had charge mixed in to encourage the bennies to colonize there too. I will be using the shogun nutes that I know do the business with coco to compare with for yield , growth and taste. I have 3 seeds each of 4 Fast Buds Strains to use as a control for the grow and am journaling each strain in their own diaries. This statement will be used to start each one as the information is identical at this point but following this I will do them individually. I am now starting their second week since opening the seed packets , straight into soaked and shook root riot cubes and into the heated propagator. They had all showed their heads by end of day 3 and a couple needed helmet surgery to open up without being hindered . I have has them in the prop for a few days but they needed to get settled as they were popping roots out all over the cubes. They have now been in their final pots for 2 days complete and starting their 3rd today at day 8 since planting in cubes. I am impressed with the speed and success of these girls already (12 of 13 germinated) . Well done fast buds. So here we go folks , any comments , ideas ,questions , advice are always welcome and I hope we can have some fun experimenting with defol v non defol , topping v fimming v bending and any other curiosities along the way. I plan on using a quadline for them all to keep a control for the comparisons too. Be green folks Welcome aboard and a huge thank you to Fast Buds for the opportunity to try autos.

Day 65 Day 30 Flower Seeing nice stretching and spacing on nodes are still kept tight, strong but small structure. Nice hues coming through on the tops fans. Minor lollipopping and defoliating done today. Not much else to say, Stay high my growmie ✌️🚀💚 Day 68 Day 33 F - Final lollipopping and defoliating today. She really is starting to develope. Node spacing is nice, bud sites forming, nice hues and glistening. Applied feed today. Small compact looking plant, but hoping to see them top shelf grade dense nuggets with this technique and strain 😍- we can hope

I have made this week as it’s the 4 week mark (28 days) I’ve made a video to show the progress she has made! This is my favourite baby girl! She has shown so much vigor from the beginning! I have only had to adjust the ties this week was considering another top but I won’t as I may not have space! I’ve added a picture of the base of my Airpots and I’m proud to say the roots are all coming through nice and thick (photo example) I have also added my ppm results now and am going to be filtering my water so I lose the initial 200+ in my water already! I will 12-12 when she hits 6 weeks! Hope you enjoy buddies!

Plants looks fine..that all looks really good, so frosty and sticky. I'm curious about ending effect. Smells nice, strawberry buds not really growing big, but forbidden runtz doing great.

Sour Diesel — Week 12 (Week 7 Flower) “The Ascension of a Fighter” 12/12 from seed. No safety net, no adjustment phase — just straight into the cycle. And from day one… she struggled. But she stayed. ⸻ 🌱 How did we get here — 12/12 from seed This run was built around a system — not individual plants. From germination, all plants entered the same 12/12 rhythm. No veg buffer, no separate adaptation window. And that means one thing: ➡️ The environment doesn’t adapt to the plant. ➡️ The plant adapts to the environment. Most did it smoothly. She didn’t. Different feeding sensitivity, different response to VPD, different pace. She never fully synced with the room… But she never gave up either. ⸻ 🌿 The “Unhappy” Plant That Didn’t Quit Let’s be honest — she was behind from the start. * Slower development * Less vigor early on * More sensitive to feeding and conditions In a single-plant run? She might have been considered a failure. But here’s the reality: She adapted. She corrected. She found her rhythm — late, but real. And now? She’s showing why genetics matter. ⸻ ❄️ Trichomes & Frost — Unexpected Power For a plant that struggled… The resin production is honestly impressive. * Buds coated well beyond expectation * Trichome coverage consistent across sites * That classic Sour Diesel sparkle starting to show character Not the heaviest producer in the room — but absolutely punching above her weight. ⸻ 🌸 Density & Structure This is where she surprises even more. * Smaller plant overall * But buds coming in tight and compact * Good stacking despite limited size She didn’t stretch much — but what she built, she built with intention. Dense. Focused. Efficient. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment — Why we didn’t adjust for her Important point here. This room is dialed for system stability, not individual correction. * Temps, RH, feeding — all set for the majority * Adjusting everything for one plant would destabilize the whole run So in this case: ➡️ She had to adapt to the room ➡️ Not the other way around And that’s exactly what makes her story interesting. Because she did. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition Same base feeding as the room: * Terra Bloom * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * Power Buds * Green Sensation * CalMag Pro pH ~6.5 | EC ~2.0 She showed sensitivity early on, but stabilized over time. No chasing deficiencies. No overcorrections. Just steady input and patience. ⸻ 🧠 Observations This plant is a lesson. Not every plant thrives instantly. Not every phenotype fits the system. But resilience… that’s where the real value shows. She may not be the biggest. She may not be the easiest. But she’s earned her place in this run. ⸻ 🔮 What to expect next week * Continued resin development * Slight increase in bud density * Possible early signs of ripening (some pistil darkening) * No explosive growth — but steady finishing She’s not going to suddenly become the biggest. But she will finish properly. ⸻ ⚠️ What NOT to expect * No late stretch * No dramatic size increase * No sudden change in structure This is about refinement now, not expansion. ⸻ 🙏 Final Words To everyone following this journey: * The ones who support from day one * The new people discovering the process * The skeptics — always part of the balance * The silent watchers * The platform hosting this space * The sponsors and partners * The genetics behind this resilience And especially… This plant. Not perfect. Not easy. But real.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Week 25 for Black lebanon by SSSC Shes still bulking up in weight clearly because every time i come down to check on her her branches are falling more 😂 Found 2 caterpillars on her but couldn't find any bud rot... So lets stay positive on that Also found a plant with PM about 5cm away from the plant so ripped that up... lets hope it didn't have time to jump over 😬 For now shes proving to be very resistant in general to whatever mother nature throws at her.

Lowered the time by another hour last week and they seem to be flowering under 14 and 10. Nice smell coming off them now, haven't given bloom yet but I plan to tommorow I think.

She is tiny but strong.

Week 5 They are really doing great at the moment, by day 35 the DP GB OG is no longer behind and she is growing in a fast paste. I think this are goiong to be big plants. they still have to go in flower so.

Som veĺmi spokojný, King Cartier od Hombre Cannabis Seeds bola radost pestovat, veľmi odolná genetika, žiadne plesne ani iná chamraď, srdečne odporúčam

Now the flowers!! 💐💐💐

2018-11-19 Flowering in full swing. Pulling slows down. In the morning, on the day of the compote replacement, my PPM-meter broke down. Therefore, the new solution was kneaded by eye. Tomorrow a new device will arrive and I will clarify what I have mixed there. 2018-11-24 Buds swell, there is time to figure out how to do time lapse video.
