Week 15 going good…not bad …switching to bloom nutrient… and did a ton of defoliating to loosen up the canopy hopefully they won’t grow too much when I flip them to 1212 in a week I’ve seen these plants three times the size. Hopefully I can stunt that growth during the initial stretch by switching to Bloom nutrients early. Defoliating a week before flipping. I may decide to top them more but I probably won Do I have to type here for it to be green this is crazy. I’ve done more than a paragraph now at this point it’s kind of weird that it’s not green be green what the hell can it still not be green

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

********Week 1 Flower - Sept 19 to 25, 2020******* We switched to flower this week and put in the first SCROG layer.....been busy😃These girls have been pretty happy this week given they have grown quite tall and buds are setting and moved on to stacking already. Great signs so early on😎🤞 I had LST on the girls and then decided to remove the ties since they were topped and under a net so maybe stretch wouldn’t be too bad.......ties went back on at the end of the week😃💪🤪 Pheno 4 has on branch that had HST done and knuckle formed, still growing up so had to keep it tied down as well. Down side to running a 9 week veg, if they want to get big, they will😂😂😂 Pest maintenance this week as we are getting the last days I am able to comfortably spray the girls. Lost Coast Plant Therapy to keep the gnats, aphids and thrips in check😃 Keeping the waterings up and getting a fair bit of runoff from the feedings but that is best for Coco to avoid lockouts and pH issues. There were only three feeding days this week. We switched to bloom nutes for base and added silica for supplementals. Vitamin B and Kelp coming from B52 and sweetener for the microbes from bud candy, Bud Ignitor doing its thing as PK boost. As well as Sensyzime to let the enzymes clean up the root zone because they have been in the pots for a few weeks now. Little more detail: Sept 19/20 - Day 1 - Plant Therapy @ 5ml in 1L water. Ph to 5.4. - Folier spray applied to whole tent half hour before lights on, used 3/4 of mixture - Feeding mixture was Sensyzime @ 1ml only - 25ppm and 5.2pH......missed it a bit. - each girl given 3L - SCROG put in Sept 20/20 - Day 2 - Sprayed the last of the IPM mixture on the tent tonight. - Noticed several small shinny spots on leaves later today.....suspect from Folier spray on leaves. Sept 21/20 - Day 3 - Nice full strength week 1 mixture applied today - Rhino Skin, Cal Mag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom A&B , B52, Bud Ignitor, Bud Candy @ 1ml. - 625 ppm and 5.7pH - 3L given to each girl.......not enough runoff.....bump feedings up to 4L going forward. - silica added today. Sept 23/20 - Day 5 - CalMag @ 2ml, Rhino, Sensi Bloom A&B, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml. - 850ppm and 5.9pH - 4L given to each girl. - better run off amount That wraps up the first week of flower........The net is in and the lights flipped. The girls were ready for flower and now we just need to keep giving them what they want for the next 6 weeks and then coast from there👍 These are some strong and fast growing girls.....keeps a grower on their toes! I expected the heights to be where they are but must admit I was hopeful that was the end of week 2. Issues will come in when trying to ripen the bud around week 8. They are growing so well right now.....keep them happy and in the end everyone is happy👍❤️👍 Such a solid strain @Sweet_Seeds......a great hybrid you should be very proud of!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Well I almost lost her to the root root. Thought I got rid of it and then I got some clear snotty shit. I saw that and I cut the roots. I tried peroxide, bleach, hygrozyme, Daily Rez changes. The last few weeks were a real rollercoaster ride that's for sure

Hey guys I had to fast forward to the end of her journey. I will post the remainder of the grow weeks later. I ran into some issues a couple weeks into flowering. I was using Tiger Bloom after about four to five weeks of veg. She loved it. Once she went into flowering her second week I introduced Big Bud nutes as well. Once I started using Big Bud she started to show signs that something was off. My water ph was about 6.3-6.4. And I used the minimum amount of nutes according to the directions. I will post pictures of the bad signs. So I flushed her just in case she was locked out or too much nutes. I flushed her with Flawless Finish and pure ph water. I due think this had some impact on her growth during flowering, but I am still excited about her final outcome so far. I have placed her in complete darkness for 48 hrs and will be harvesting her. She turned out very large with nice size buds and colas thanks to LST. Her buds are even more frosty than before the dark period. Also I placed ice at the base of her around her stock. She’s seems to be just a bit more frosty. We’ll see. I will post harvest soon

Harvested 7.49 Oz of dry flower after drying for 8 days. This plant is fairly difficult to grow and not resilient in my opinion. I would advise looking at their other strains like apple strudel if you want something easy to grow. Check out my videos on Youtube/Rumble/IG - DabKing7200

Day 50 – Officially Entering Bloom 🌸 We’ve crossed a beautiful milestone—flowering has officially begun! The pre-flowers are stacking up with intent, and the entire structure is shifting focus to its reproductive mission. It’s a joy to witness the transition as the energy starts moving into the upper canopy. This FastBuds CBD strain is showing phenomenal resilience and grace despite the unpredictable UK weather. Over the past few days, the plant faced intense rain and strong wind gusts, which even knocked it off its perch. But just like a warrior, she got back up—no broken limbs, no complaints, just a stronger stem and a deeper green. I’ve now placed the pot inside a larger container to stabilise it and protect against slug patrols during cold, damp nights. A simple hack, but one that offers big peace of mind! This grow is intentionally minimalistic. No tents, no synthetic boosters, no artificial support—just super soil, pH-balanced tap water, natural sun, and trust in the process. Every drop of rain and every beam of sunlight becomes part of the story. It’s an outdoor symphony powered by patience and the pure intent to create top-quality CBD oil—without the psychoactive effects, but with all the healing potential. She’s now standing tall at approximately 70 cm, stretching with elegant confidence and building a promising framework of bud sites. There’s something incredibly humbling about letting nature lead. And with a strain like this from FastBuds.com, it’s a rewarding partnership between growers and genetics. More to come, but for now—we bloom.

The colors of autumn are in full display 🍂 – deep purples, fiery reds, golden yellows, and even shades of black. The garden is alive with vibrant beauty, a final burst of energy as the cycle nears its end 🌿✨. The plants are absolutely stunning, their buds sparkling with trichomes, and the aroma is mesmerizing – a sweet and fruity scent reminiscent of ripe cherries filling the air 🌺🍒. Week 7 is behind us, and while I managed to increase the nutrients again, it came a bit too late. The result? Potency is reaching its peak, but the potential for quantity has passed. Still, the plants stand proud, exuding beauty, sweetness, and character in every bud. As the holidays approach, so does the conclusion of this grow 🎄🌺. By the end of the week, it’ll be time to bring this chapter to a close – a moment to celebrate the journey, admire the elegance of these plants, and look forward to the harvest. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic start to the new year 🎉✨. Stay tuned for the final updates and the results of this colorful and aromatic adventure 🌿📸. --- Die Farben des Herbstes zeigen sich in voller Pracht 🍂 – tiefes Lila, feuriges Rot, goldenes Gelb und sogar Schwarz. Der Garten leuchtet in seiner ganzen Schönheit, ein letzter Energieschub, bevor der Zyklus zu Ende geht 🌿✨. Die Pflanzen sind einfach atemberaubend – ihre Buds glitzern vor Trichomen, und der Duft ist unwiderstehlich: ein süß-fruchtiges Aroma, das an reife Kirschen erinnert und die Luft erfüllt 🌺🍒. Woche 7 liegt hinter uns, und ich konnte die Nährstoffe wieder anpassen, aber leider ein bisschen zu spät. Das Ergebnis? Die Potenz erreicht ihren Höhepunkt, aber die Menge ist nicht mehr zu steigern. Trotzdem stehen die Pflanzen majestätisch da und verzaubern mit ihrer Schönheit, ihrem süßen Duft und ihrem Charakter in jeder Blüte. Mit den Feiertagen vor der Tür nähert sich auch dieser Grow seinem Ende 🎄🌺. Am Ende der Woche ist es soweit – Zeit, dieses Kapitel abzuschließen, die Eleganz dieser Pflanzen zu bewundern und sich auf die Ernte zu freuen. Ich wünsche euch allen eine wunderschöne Weihnachtszeit und einen großartigen Start ins neue Jahr 🎉✨. Bleibt dran für die letzten Updates und das Ergebnis dieser farbenfrohen und aromatischen Reise 🌿📸.

Still some minimal LST. Lots of tops. One plant super purple in color. Other plant still green and no purple at all. Huge difference in the plants though. One is lighter in color, taller, and slimmer. The other is dark green, shorter, and fatter. Both doing amazing. Added 2 new plants in the tent this week. All are loving life!
