Fifth week and the signs of the beginning of flowering are now clearly visible. As I had already announced, at the beginning of the week I defoliated again, and this girl reacted very well without being affected. This week she drank a total of 2.5 L of water, 1.5 L with nutrients and 1 L of water only, and grew to 45 cm. She looks really healthy and continues to grow. The lamp was dimmed to 75% all week, but I increased it to 100% on the last day of the week, still at 30 cm. Flowering is starting, and I'm really curious to see how this girl's flowers will develop. Ready for week six? Let's see where this Northern Light takes us!

The girls are starting to pack on some weight. I'm still learning so it feels like I will kill them at any moment but I can see that isn't the case so far. Here is to making it another week <3

12/31: They are both coming along nicely.👍 Today was the first day in which I fed them some Big Bloom and Boomerang along with humic acid, pH'd to 6.1. 1/3: I've been letting them dry out a bit for the last two days. They've got roots coming out the bottoms now...I'll probably transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots tomorrow or the next day. I ordered a 4' 180w tube light with 578 LEDs..it has a 360 degree beam with 3000k and a bunch of 660nm. It's waterproof, so no worries about keeping it beneath my canopy to illuminate the lower branches and hopefully increase the density of those buds that never get much top-lighting. Today, I mounted my two new 24w UVA LED lights (395-405nm) to my frame. I'll run them 6 hours a day from the time I put the plants into my closet, until harvest. It is my understanding that exposure to UVA, particularly during the vegetative stage, triggers many different plant defense hormones, which speed growth and can increase heartiness to withstand constant exposure to UVB without suffering as much cellular damage as usual. I'm also ordering a 2' Solacure FlowerPower UVB (285nm-310nm) next week to use during flowering to stress the plants and increase trichome production. 1/4: I did a few foliar feedings with big bloom and fulvic acid today. 1/5: Transplanting day. I dusted their roots with magic dust and transplanted them into 5 gallon pots today. I had some excellent compost with biochar and myco that I mixed into their soil, too. I watered them in with about 2 quarts of their first taste of full strength veg nutes, plus mycorrhizal fungi, trichoderma, beneficial bacteria, and humic acid, then I sprayed them with biotabs boomboom spray when finished. The were moved into the closet under the quantum boards, UVA's, and a pair of MiracleLED blue bulbs. I'll start adding far-red spectra to the equation in the next few days.

420Fastbuds-Week 6 Train Wreck Auto What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 2 beautiful 😍 ladies. They got moved over to the flower tent this week. Temperatures have gone up tremendously since it seems summer weather has finally got here. Over all they seem to be handling it, OK. I'll most likely do a defoliation this week thinning it out to allow more air flow. All in all Happy Growing

Empezamos la semana 3. Seguimos con 100W 18 horas de luz. Van avanzando a buen ritmo. Estamos consiguiendo controlar la temperatura, la semana pasada hemos tenido picos de 29° C. Esta ya estable en 26°C. Ningún cambio en cuanto a los fertilizantes seguiremos con los mismo. Buenos humos Tupskywalker

Black Strap and Peach Crescendo getting close. I see they will get cut way before the Fat Bastard. Fat Bastard must have a long flowering period. But branch structure is thick. I will get a heavy yield from it. Peach Crescendo has so much frost on it. Ethos fkn rocks! Black Strap smells like baked cookies and gas.

Hello Diary, The harvest is approaching on my small farm. Actually, one plant is already ripe for harvest and that is Titan F1, So Apollo F1 and Milky Way F1 will be left alone for another week. As seen in the photos, the Apollo F1 is truly a sight for the eyes. The flowers are very densely packed, I have never seen anything like that before. But the plant is low, the branches are strong and there is no bending under the weight of the flowers. The flowers are full of trichomes that emit a strong fragrance. Here and there a yellowish leaf appears, which I immediately remove. Watering is a little more frequent due to the high temperatures, but I stopped adding any nutrients. Here's a quick recap of the week. 26/06/2023 - Day 58. Watering. Only two days later, the plants drank all the water, so I watered them with two liters for each individual plant. 29/06/2023 - Day 61. Watering. I repeated the procedure as I did three days earlier. 01/07/2023. - Day 63. Photographing plants. That's all for this week, see you soon.

UPDATE: Day 2 of week 10; Friday 23rd October: Nutes in with some LST and defoliation again. Diatomaceous Earth going onto the soil tops today to beat this thrips problem.. Sticky traps to catch the live ones. Glad I caught them fairly early as the girls still look ok. Raised my LED slightly today to give the girls a bit more room to grow and tonight I’m making my dehumidifier in a cardboard box solution to get the dehumidifier out of the tent to bring down the temps to a sensible level to deal with these thrips. I had no probs with thrips until the dehumidifier went in and raised the temps too much. So hopefully these small tweaks with get me back on track. Update same day: dehumidifier in a box method built, my handy work is in the pics, will update again tomz with humidity and temps checked to see if this shit worked! 🤞🏼🙏🏼 UPDATE: Day 4 of week 10; Sunday 25th October- Dehumidifier in a box idea was total shit lol but... I found that just rigging up the ducting to the dry air outlet and leaving the rest of dehumidifier in the open rather than in a box and then pumping that into the tent works much better than having the dehumidifier inside the tent. The plants have soooo much more room, fresh air and temps although slightly higher are not as crazy.. After careful inspection, I couldn’t see one thrip today and my sticky traps have lots of little bugs stuck on them 💪🏼🙏🏼... I’m pretty sure I’m not out of the woods yet, so to not disturb the Diatomaceous Earth in the soil bed I’m going to water them via the bottoms of the fabric pots for a few waterings to really ensure I cut those bad boy thrips to shreds 🤞🏼😎 Nutes will be going in too late tonight when I water them via the bottoms for the first time.. UPDATE: Day 6 of week 10 - Tuesday 27th Oct Girls looking good and the watering via the bottoms went better than expected.. So the Diatomaceous Earth can still do it’s job. Can’t see any thrips but I know they’re still there but no way near as many as before. Buds are still really small and in some areas look like they are beginning to turn orange already, I hope my LED is not burning them. I don’t think it’s that as some of the lower buds under foliage seem to have the same. Will keep an eye! Happy days 💚🍃🌱🙏🏼

It's been another easy week in the Fastbuds tent. I've spent most my energy preparing my outdoor grow space for a wild summer. At this point, there's not much I can do except water and watch my plants grow. I've added videos of other plants in relations to the mimosa cake just for visual aid. I also added a photo of my cheese auto.. it's still drying! With the Mimosa cake auto I've been taking fan leaves off slowly for weeks now. This is a very busy plant. She is also going to run later than I expected. She's on day 76 and I suspect 95 to 100 days to finish time. I'll have to keel feeding her bloom nutes for the next few weeks; her 3 gallon bucket ran out of nutrients already. Feeding schedule: water, feed, water, feed Step 1- I'll take an aeration stone and use it to remove the chlorine residual in the water... this only takes 8 - 12 hours depending on water temperature. (I'm a water treatment process operator, I have checked several times in the past with my own Cl2 meters). Step 2 - add Calmag Step 3- add bloom nutes Final step - pH the water accordingly (very important that this is final step) A TDS residual of 500 ppm equals roughly 1 E.C. (I just double it)

Greetings, fellow cultivators and green enthusiasts! Week 5 of our Apolo F1's journey has unfolded with the promise of blooms as she gracefully transitions into the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase. Join me as we continue this botanical saga, witnessing the emergence of blossoms, the transformation into a lush green bush, and the strategic shift from last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The botanical ballet of bending and shaping persists, guiding our Apolo F1 into a beautifully orchestrated dance of controlled chaos. Every leaf and branch is a stroke on the canvas of growth, creating a masterpiece that reflects both elegance and efficiency. The green virtuoso is not just growing; she's evolving into a captivating bush of vitality. As she enters the pre-flower/flower/late veg phase, the first signs of blooms are beginning to grace our Apolo F1. It's like witnessing the unveiling of nature's artistry, as tiny buds emerge, promising a bounty of blossoms in the weeks to come. The anticipation is as exciting as the first notes of a symphony! The bold decision to top our flourishing Apolo F1 is revealing its impact. Multiple colas are forming, creating a lush and bushy canopy. This strategic haircut is paying dividends as our green virtuoso prepares to showcase a rich and complex performance. It's a testament to the power of calculated risks in the art of cultivation. Amidst the botanical crescendo, a shift in the aqueous symphony is underway. This week marks the transition from the last veg mix water to the imminent flower mix. The nutrient-rich serenade continues, with a TDS of 390 ppm and a pH of 6.0, ensuring our Apolo F1 receives the specific nourishment needed for the impending floral spectacle. With each passing day, the moon on harvest day beckons. Our green companion is on the trajectory to a bountiful harvest, and this journey is not just hers; it's a celebration for flowering girls around the world. Each bud, a testament to the collective magic of cultivation. As we marvel at the unfolding blooms and the lush greenery, a heartfelt thank you to Aptus Holland for being the architects of this nutrient symphony, and to Royal Queen Seeds for the botanical star of our green opera. Join me in the next chapter of our Apolo F1 Mission Diary, where we'll witness the crescendo of blossoms and the anticipation of the moonlit harvest. Until then, may your gardens flourish, and your green endeavors be ever abundant! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey

Day 22. Everything is normal. Looking good! Light regime day/night is 18/6. Day 23. I continue to water. So, enter = 110 ppm , exit = 320... Next watering 60% of fertilizing. Day 24. Made my video. Everything is excellent Day 26. Plant starts emitting a slight odor of cut grass and marijuana. It is wonderful. Day 27. I continue to water. Added 1,5 liter, no waste. The plant has a great appetite. I trimmed 7 leaves to make more space for new shoots. Light odor. Day 28. I added 2 liters of fertilizing solution: 590 ppm enter, 470ppm exit. The plant is growing well. I will water everyday from now on. Substrate gets dry quickly. One day fertilizing solution (food), one day just water. No flowers yet

Day 84 ​What a transformation! At Day 84, our main plant is looking incredibly healthy and vigorous, showing all the signs of a successful transition from the vegetative stage. We're now deep into the mid-flowering phase, likely around Week 4 to 5 of bloom. ​Plant Health and Structure ​The plant has developed a fantastic, bushy canopy with excellent lateral branching, a clear benefit of prior training (like topping or LST). The overall color is a rich, uniform dark green, indicating optimal nutrient management, with no visible signs of deficiencies or burn. The fan leaves are large and spread out, demonstrating effective light absorption

DAY 53 Had to take out of the room the Amnesia XXL hermaphrodite; cant take the risk of turning the rest into males too. DAY 54 FUUUCKKK!! The wind dropped a piece of heavy wood onto the plants!!! 1 of the Moby Dick was totally broken. Some branches of the neighbour plants were affected too. So that's 2 plants lost at the moment (the hermaphrodite and the broken one). Day 56 Two days after the tragedy. Had to reorganize the room to prevent similar accidents in the future 🖤😢 Saved the most I could but definately this stressing event will influence the plant’s development. Also, considering taking out the claw leaved plant, which has signs of hermaphroditism (FML again 😫). Hope these 7 make it till the end. PS: Also, there’s 1 Moby Dick which has no signs of flowering at day 56, cant figure out what’s happening with it. I’m starting to think that it’s an Regular Feminized seed instead of an autoflowering.

On the 5th week of flowering day 1 the girls are chugging along, growing bigger by the day and smelling excellent :). On day 5 the girls are putting on a lot of weight. I'm very excited about harvest:). On day 7 The girls are doing well. I had a small clog in my bluat system on one of my carrots. I have fixed the clog by massaging the small pipe that was clogged. it has been tough using powdered nutrients with this system as there has been a few clogs. I will be switching to water soluble nutrients with drip clean to keep lines clear on my next grow. I just need to make it through the next few weeks to harvest :)

Put some into bigger pots, 2 are autos for sure. Still no idea what the others are though from the leaves on two I think they may be lemon kush but I'm really not sure.
