Week VIII — The Golden Fade Another week has passed beneath the false constellations of Eldritch Gardens, and the garden has begun to wear the colors of its final transformation. The vibrant emerald that once filled the chamber slowly surrenders to shades of gold, amber, and pale lime, as each leaf offers the last of its strength to the flowers above. Flush started too early but it does not matter anymore. Plant #1 — The Fat One — has become a breathtaking monument to abundance. Every branch now carries dense, swelling colas wrapped in an ever-thickening coat of crystal. Trichomes spread across the flowers like frozen stars scattered upon ancient stone, glistening beneath the humming LEDs with every passing day. Its aroma has become nothing short of intoxicating. An overwhelming tide of pungent gas collides with vibrant notes of ripe fruit, creating a fragrance so rich that every opening of the tent feels like disturbing the seal of a forgotten temple. Hidden beneath the sweetness lingers that unmistakable chemical edge, sharp and mysterious, hinting at the powerful genetics awakening within. Plant #2 — The Battered One — continues its quiet conquest. Its towering structure remains firm, its flowers stacking with remarkable symmetry while resin slowly overtakes each calyx. Though less extravagant in fruit than its sister, its identity has become unmistakable. Pure diesel. Raw fuel. The scent is bold, uncompromising, and impossible to mistake. It fills the chamber with the aroma of ancient engines and forgotten roads, as though some impossible machine beneath the sea has begun to breathe once more. Together, the two remaining queens have transformed the grow chamber into a cathedral of resin. The leaves continue to yellow, one after another, surrendering their stored energy to the swelling flowers before quietly falling away. There is no sadness in this sacrifice. Every fading fan leaf becomes another offering to the harvest yet to come. This week also brings an important realization. The calendar claims the eighth week of flowering has arrived, yet the plants whisper another story. Beneath the microscope, the trichomes reveal their true intentions. Most gland heads have turned beautifully milky. A handful remain crystal clear, while only the rarest few have begun to glow amber beneath the lens. Perhaps the flushing began too soon. Perhaps these ancient genetics demand another week—or even two—to reveal their fullest potential. The flowers continue to harden. The aromas deepen with every passing day. Nature refuses to be hurried. So the ancient virtue returns once more. Patience. If the garden asks for a ninth week... Then a ninth week it shall receive.

Progressing nicely.

Got some phat girls up in here! Everyone is looking pretty good. A few of the plants are starting to ripen up while some others have at least a few weeks to go. Just filling the reservoir and letting them drink it. These girls show that simplicity isn't always a bad thing. I pulled the slurricane 7 from the system and started flushing it with plain tap water. It got a heavy 10 gallon flush today and I will give it 5 gallons a day for about a week. Just going to keep pumping the juice to the rest of them.

After 48 hrs darkness I've finally trimmed buds to prep for hanging. Plant 1 .82kg wet weight Plant 2 .88kg wet weight Plant 3 .77kg wet weight Total wet weight incl stems 2.47kg or 2470g Equate to 5.438 lbs wet weight. I can't wait to see dry weight. I'll be happy with half loss in water.

Letsgrow#fastbuds

The smell is ABSOLUTELY divine 🤩 The trim was super easy,the buds are super dense & sticky👌

these are big beauties and were off for flowering. my god. just pure unstoppable. which brings us to the V1 story. because they're so strong, we decided to use this company as our Rambo for testing. reference the V1 diary also. now its confession time. I hated Autoflowers, i only ever grew them as freebies and my experience was always underwhelming i always thought they looked terminally ill vs a well grown photo-period.... but i can seriously vouch for 420fastbuds product. its at least 30% more solid all around v other auto flowers, i even pout a green leopard Auto flower beside it a week behind to show the difference.

Venga familia, cosecha de estas Forbidden Mochi fast de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, prietas, aparte son aromáticas huelen mucho afrutado. En general es una genética con la que disfruté bastante cultivarla, la genética es perfecta para cultivos de floración corta con rangos entre los 20/25 grados en interior, es muy fácil cultivarla y bien resistente, es excelente para cultivadores principiantes. Hasta aquí es todo, espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

📆 Semana 3 El stretch llega a su fin y las plantas comienzan a concentrar su energía en el desarrollo floral. La estructura formada durante las semanas anteriores queda bien establecida, con múltiples puntas bien expuestas y una copa uniforme que aprovecha eficientemente la luz disponible. Los grupos florales empiezan a ganar tamaño y densidad, mientras los pistilos se multiplican en todos los puntos de crecimiento. Durante esta semana se introduce Bloom Booster para acompañar el inicio de la fase de engorde y favorecer una formación floral más intensa. ⚡ EC: 1.6 💧 pH: 6.2–6.5 🌡️ Agua: 21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 40–45% 💡 Intensidad: 900–1000 PPFD 🔥 Nota: La tercera semana marca el comienzo del desarrollo floral activo. Una nutrición equilibrada y la incorporación de potenciadores de floración en este momento ayudan a maximizar el número y tamaño de los futuros cogollos. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Still only giving them water at ph6. 5 The soil I started them in is a full strength soil. House and garden bat special 🦇💪👍 Some people say I shouldn't plant seeds direct into full strength soil, I've been doing it for 20 years and never had any issues . Each to there own I say 👍

I think she has Ebola. I'm now feeding her nothing but bloom at 4 mil per gallon. She gets 2 gallons per feeding and most of that runs off. Feed is PH at 5.9. I plan to just do this until she finishes or self destructs. She just keeps getting worse. I have no answers.

Looking forward to growing this one.🌿🌿🙂

Gave it extra week and 2 days dark ending 9 hours day cycle. Very slight pine, kush, and delicious limonene flavor. No skunk or harsh earthyness at all. Will post more pics. Very potent!

This is one of my favourite plants I have grown. She looks so different to the usual plants. She smell very strong and is loving being outside despite rubbish UK weather. Cant wait for this one to finish.

CRAZY NIGHT: We were in Montreal around 2006/7 to promote an entrepreneurial business set up by my brother. The business centred around fightgear and fighter promotion in the mixed martial arts industry. My Brother (NX), myself, Stephanie 1 and Stephanie 2 (real names) and some big name fighters were in town to hang out with some clients, bring the fighters to a few venues to meet fans, run some demo classes, and sell some shirts. These two girls are bombshells, and apparently NX has a sexy night planned with the both of em. The Stephanies are all over eachother all day long, playing the role of stupid bimbo to a tee. While these girls are day drinking, we are trying to get everyone settled into hotel rooms, give enough time to meet clients for dinner, and then we would head out to the bars in Montreal where we had booked appearances. A typical weekend promo, nothing should go wrong.... (continued next week) THE DIARY STUFF: Well, Fastbuds, they never called me fastgrower!! You sent me these seeds MONTHS ago, and waited on my grow season to start. Much appreciated, and in turn, I will grow your little ladies with the utmost care and respect they deserve. Lets see the full potential of these fast finishers, cant wait for you to tell me whats in em! All seeds popped within 48 hours of germination in paper towel method. So far, off to a good start!

Segunda planta en ser cosechada tras 62 días floreciendo. Muy fácil cultivo y muy buen resultado. Puesta a secar el 10 de Marzo.

Coming along nicely. Large number of bud sites, starting to grow but still far from mature. Nice aroma every time I open the tent. Starting to become a bit frosty.

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect that’ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. It’s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a top-notch resin producer that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 7/17- Well folks, after fourteen weeks of veg, I think this gorgeous FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF is ready to show her stuff! I have begun to see a pistil here and there and she has stopped her massive stretch so flowering should begin in earnest any day now! The daily watering routine for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet FF continues with 10g of straight well water from the garden hose given at sundown daily with the exception of when we get substantial rain. 7/19- FIRST DAY OF FLOWER!!!🤩🎉While checking over the GG4 Sherbet FF today I saw that she has begun to flower which I have been anxiously awaiting! I removed a bunch of dead or yellowing leaves from the underside of the canopy, under the trellis net as well as a few small shoots that were down deep in the middle of the plant which would only produce larfy buds. 7/21- It rained all day yesterday, and the rain continued into this morning so I skipped watering at all today as the ground got well saturated. 7/23- Well there's the first week of flower on the books for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and I can't wait to see her develop over the next month! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Week 6 - Maybe the last vegetative week. Everyone is topped and LST. I think I will let them grow in peace this week (Ill just fix the lst, no more toppings or cutting fan leaves) and install my scrog net
