Last Week of her life, now shes getting in the darkroom for 2-3 days. I flushed her the 3 days with water, and didnt give her any water for 2 days after flushing. I had to cut the Main-Bud due to mold :( Total flower time ~12-13 Weeks. Total Life Time: Since April 24th 2024. After the darkroom shes is going to be hung for 1 or 1/2 weeks depends. Get ready for the harvest, I've already had to taste it and I have to say it tastes like gelato and smells like gelato. But more on that soon.

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 63 She didnt grow much over night but she seems to have already took to her new digs with no further signs of stress past last night's droopy leaves that have since bounced back today. PH tested the top soil 6.38,6.45,6.42,6.4 for an avg of 6.4125 - I tried to take a couple from the original soil and the soil divide of old/new - the numbers run close to the same so Im satisfied. Placed the ring back on - Measured 11 inches from soil to bar, but I can work with that as it's still level and the branches run past it all the way around. I also tried to level it. I didnt feel the need to tie any of the branches this time as they are mostly going where I wanted them to. PPFD is still lower power at 2 ticks from high and center colas at 510 and 500 with the outering at 430 lowest and 470 at highest with most at about 455 VPD is okay with temps at 74F/64%RH/33%ILV Day 64 VPD and PPFD still mostly the same about 520 to 440 on ppfd from center to lowest outer ring and 74F/64%RH/33%ILV she seems to be likely the new set up and soil is still somewhat tacky - Plan to water in 2 days. I could water tomorrow, but I rather make the roots look for new space in the outer ring before just giving more for now. Day 65 VPD and ppfd mostly the same - 73F/64%RH/33%ILV with lights at 520 for the center colas and 430 for the lowest of the outer ring She's mostly filled the ring and close to 15 inches including the ring meaning I should be able to defoliate and flip this coming weekend. So I'll prep for that. It has been 3 days since transfer and last feed. Soil is still moist but not wet on the very top. I prepped tap water to burn chlorine tonight and will consider wetting her a little tomorrow. No more than a gallon of straight water for now, then again with reduced nutes a few days after that. Day 66 VPD same; 74F/64%RH/33%ILV PPFD after watering was 430 at lowest and 520 at highest - also moved the lights because I finally got the stand for the 10 gallon pot. Lights are now about 33 inches from soil and since the plant is about 15 inches high that makes the light about 18 inches from leaves to light. Watered with 1 gallon of 6.4ph de-chlorinated tap. Used a spreader water can and spray bottle. I used the whole gallon and there was no run off. Day 67 VPD okay at 74F/65%RH/33%ILV took 4 ph tests in the top soil got 6.64, 6.65, 6.67, and 6.54 for an avg of 6.625 (actually higher than I wanted but still well with-in range of acceptable. waited until later in the day and defoliated lower leaves - mostly the larf leaves under the ring. Also used HST and LST to break a few branches and tie others. The goal is to set a more level top before flip. But one that can be secured with the ring later if needed. PPFD now has 600 as highest and 430 as lowest she's spread quite far from center to outer rings now. Overall she looks close to flip and I think I might be able to at the start of week 10 day 70. Day 68 VPD was normal at 74F/65%RH/33%ILV - PPFD ranged from 400 to 600 with most around 500 She seems to be recovered mostly form the HST/LST/Defoliation - or at least is accepting the training as the colas that were bent are now pointing up. There are a few leaves showing stress and possible deficiency but all I can do is monitor and treat with my next feed if I see it spread more. Took measurements too - about 16inches tall with a diameter of about 22 by 22, so I am happy with this wing span and no scrOG Day 69 Normal stats with 74F/65%RH/33%ILV ppfd also the same as yesterday ranging from 400 to 600. Tomorrow will be 4 days since her last water feed - I plan to feed about 1 gallon of de-chlorinated tap water with about 50 ppm of each veg and bloom juice mix. I also plan to flip to 12/12 tomorrow. Schedule will be 3 hours later and earlier from current times. Decided to put her into a MarsHydro 24x48x71 tent and start giving UV/IR light treatments through flower. So that's the tent I also have a Bloom Plus XP2500 LED Grow Light - a set of Spider Farmer UVR40 40W UV & IR Supplemental Lighting Bars and I am using a iPower 6 Inch Smart Vent. I measured the distance from soil to lights and placed it back at 35 inches like it was with the ViparSpectra XS2000 in the other tent - I then dialed the lights down to the same ppfd as it was. I am giving her 30 minutes of UV light 1 hour before bed and then 15 minutes of IR after lights out and before lights on again - which is now 3 hours later.

All I can say is WOW! Sour Diesel Haze is HUGE! Tons of bud sites developing all over and looking beautiful! She has the potential of being my largest plant to date! Looking forward to watching her buds fatten up and harvesting. 👍

ABxRKO is about 42.5" tall, and has been top dressed with about 3tsp of grow dots to give it a phosphorus boost in flower HBSS is about 26.5" tall and has been top dressed with about 2tsp grow dots as I believe it is fighting a phosphorus deficiency. She is giving all the smells, a bright red starburst like fruity smell with a stark citrus note.

Weird growth on the leaves of one of my plants. Looks healthy otherwise. White widow is beginning to pop out for life.

Die Pflanzen sind erfolgreich in die Blütephase gestartet! Nach dem Umstellen auf 12/12 reagieren beide Strains – 24K Gold und Gelato 33 – mit kräftigem Stretch und sichtbar zunehmender Energie. 24K Gold legt sofort los: Sie streckt sich deutlich in die Höhe und entwickelt starke Seitentriebe. Die Triebabstände werden länger, die Blätter etwas schlanker – typisch für den Übergang von Veg zu Blüte. Ihre Struktur bleibt offen, was für eine gleichmäßige Lichtverteilung über das ganze Netz sorgt. Gelato 33 zeigt einen kompakteren Stretch, bleibt aber sehr vital. Die Seitentriebe verdichten sich weiter, die ersten Vorblüten sind bereits erkennbar. Ihr Wuchsbild ist stabil, mit sattgrünen Blättern und kräftigen Blattadern. Das ScroG-Netz wird täglich leicht nachjustiert, um alle Triebe auf einer Höhe zu halten und die Fläche vollständig auszunutzen. Der Blätterteppich ist jetzt schön ebenmäßig – perfekte Basis für die kommende Bud-Entwicklung. Düngung & Setup: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 6 ml/l • 📈 EC ≈ 1.6 | pH ≈ 5.8 • 💦 Tropfbewässerung in kurzen Intervallen, Drain stabil • 🌡️ Temperatur 25–26 °C • 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit 50–55 % • 💨 Starke Umluft für dicke Stämme und optimale CO₂-Verteilung Die Entlaubung der unteren Bereiche ist abgeschlossen, damit Luft und Licht frei zirkulieren können. Beide Pflanzen zeigen keinerlei Stress durch den Lichtwechsel – grüne, vitale Spitzen und intensives Wachstum. ➡️ Der Stretch läuft jetzt auf Hochtouren – die Fläche ist komplett gefüllt und die ersten Knospenanlagen beginnen sich zu formen. Ein starker, gesunder Start in die Blütephase!

Not exactly sure what it was but whatever ive done has fixed it for now 🤷‍♂️😂 take it as a win for now i guess 11/11/25 Dont like scrogging, removed. Have placed lst back on for now to get light into the middle, hopefully also tricks them to shoot up a little more, who knows. Over LA Punch is doing fanatic. For my first photo grow and rdwc grow after 3 learning attemps. Ive done well and have gotten pretty far. I think off this lady, I'll be surprised about her yield she is staking on quality nicely like the Cherry, the grape unfortunately is struggling right now

Divine Seeds Auto Candy Outside Grow Contest 👉Sponsored👈 W5F1 July 6-12 We had a break in the temperatures and humidity this week. It’s been in the 80s and Iow 90’s. It’s still hot but the heat index remained below 100. Auto Candy had a growth spurt this week doubling her size from all the rain and heat. She is 12.5 inches tall and so far, doesn’t mind the heat and humidity. My little candy girl is becoming a lady. Little white pistils appeared at the nodes. Bring on the flowers. I give water only from the well and I do not ph. , Fingers crossed she will be strong and take the heat like a champ. As aways, thank you all for stopping by, for the likes and most of al growers’ love and support. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Buds formed this week, on around 10 main stems, each with main bud and half a dozen secondary buds. Once per week: Ionic Liquid Silicon 13ml; Ionic PK Boost 13ml; PH Down, ~20 drops. This is in addition to what she receives daily: Ionic Liquid Oxygen 10ml; Ionic Hydro Bloom 10ml; occasional few drops of Ionic PH Down. EC=2000 uS/cm, PH=5.5 (will rise to 6.3 through week). This is close to the EC level that caused nutrient lockout/burn earlier, during veg; fingers crossed we don't see a repeat. Raised light twice this week, but still a bit of leaf bleaching; plant grew a further 25cm.

Losing colour in the leaves looks like some ph issues too. I flushed her to correct it. Nice stinky buds though

They’re day 22 in flower now (3weeks) and looking beautiful and I’m getting some smells to the touch now and can say I think fft2 is amnesia/haze or lemon amz 🤷‍♂️🏽 (Opinion) but will have to wait for my final report to really comment! I measured them today (20/01/20) and 6 is 25” 5 is 23” 4 is 20” 3 is a moohoosive 27” 2 is shorter because of my accident but stands at 22” and 1 is 14” I tried to keep the space I have from overcrowding and seems to have worked so can’t wait for the final results as I only have to wait 3 more weeks to begin flushing fft5 but I’m thinking I may let her go over a week and then get to flush 1,3,5 and 6 at the same time. (Which is logical right?! 🤷‍♂️🏽 But I’ll be checking under my magnifier to see when to harvest though! But I’m hoping on a great finale!

Desde el momento uno fue fácil de cultivar, no tuve ningún problema en todo su desarrolló. Como planta supero todas mis expectativas, se encuentran densos y muy pegajosos los cocos. En algunos hay partes de color violeta/lila. Y por ultimo recomiendo mucho cultivar esta genética por lo sencillo que fue cultivarla y sus resultados finales, todo de diez.

Monday 29th!!! So this diary is again late and only allowed too add a few images which are mix match, How upsetting 👎 annoying at the least... I've been trying since repotting these girls on monday too upload yet constantly saying resizing photo no matter which folder I upload from so I appolagize. I will try too upload and update this week but if continues will create a new diary and try that way 🤷‍♂️ So as if it were monday 29th I transplanted all the fastbuds testers into their final pots and I have 2 of each whichever I'm very happy with and the other 3 seems slightly slower but still here 🌱 They are now being fed shogun nutrients and hopefully this week they settle in and get comfy ready too begin their vegative journey 👌 I will feed lightly and all girls will start some form of lst next week Hopefully I can update this week properly soon as I like too recap myself as it helps keeping log of what I've been doing 🙄 Shouts too aptus Holland nutrients I gained great roots ready for transplant using their startbooster & regulator which I'll be continuing too use too start of all my seeds/seedlings in future 💪 thank you aptus! 💚 Growers love, stay blessed 💚

3 autos are getting cut this week probably the last watering today. The other 4 are a few weeks behind. The big Photos are straight monsters Ethos genetics are amazing 👏. They are in week 2 since flip. The small photos are around week 5 or 6 veg they just got put under their own light for the first time SF7000 doing 50% at about 22" just to see how they react to the new light. They were also translated and topped yesterday.

This week was another good week. Getting frosty frosty and a nice color comes out. Starting this week too, just giving water till the end. I keep my garden at 11 degree celsius and they go good. Need no icewater i think. Have a nice week✌️
