Last week transplanted the plants to their final containers. Approx 12L and 17L fabric pots. Did my best to transplant without disturbing the roots, by first placing the small container in the new container to make an hole in the dirt. And then cutting apart the small container instead of pulling out the plant. Then just fitting the root-ball into the already made hole. Root development looked pretty good when I did the transplant. Transplanted into a rather well-fertilized soil. Don't plan on fertilizing these plants during the whole grow unless I otherwise see a reason to. Also started LST last week, bending the plants somewhat extreme, but they're taking it just fine. Water here is rather alkaline, so I'm starting to control the PH of the water now. There's a clear skunk smell that started last week as well, but only when the tent has been opened. Still, it doesn't take much time to notice if you stick your head in the tent. And this is already starting in Week 2 of veg! So the charcoal filter is set up. Pretty happy with the development so far, although I've still been seeing some thrips. If they're not completely gone by next week, might end up mixing some of the spinosad into the water so the plants absorb it. Day 16 - Cut off one of the lower fan leaves on both plants. It was blocking the other nodes from receiving much light. I am already able to start noticing mandarin/tangerine undertones in the smell when I've handled the plants.

Noticed a lot of new growth all the girl are responding to their feelings well, everything still looks great!

2 weeks of flowering are over and it Looks really nice:) Only Problem is the high humifity , sometimes its over 80%, so i ordered a dehumidifier which should arrive in monday, hopefully i get below 60% and i think i will do some defoliation next week

Groeiverslag: Purple Mints (Paradise Seeds) Week 1 bloei (dag 35-42 vanaf ontkiemen, eerste week na switch naar 12/12) Totaal week: ~week 5 vanaf zaad Opstelling: 3 × 11 liter stoffen potten, Biobizz Light-Mix, BestVA 415W LED (op ~40-45 cm hoogte, 12/12 schema, dimmer op ~70-80% voor bloei-start), EC 1,4-1,6, pH 6,2-6,5, temperatuur 24-26°C dag / 19-21°C nacht, RV 45-55% Algemene groei & stretch Hoogte: 38-44 cm vanaf de grond (gemiddeld ~41 cm, +9 cm sinds week 4) Aantal knoppen: 8-10 sets + top per plant Stamdikte: 11-13 mm Rek: Minimaal tot matig (~25-35% groei), zoals verwacht bij deze indica-dominante Purple Mints (75% indica). De planten blijven compact en bossig – geen wilde stretch, perfect voor de 11L potten en versterkte LST-structuur. Kleur: Diep donkergroen, met bij twee planten nu duidelijk paarse gloed op bladstelen en nieuw blad (anthocyanine slaat door door de bloeiswitch + koelere nachten). De derde plant blijft nog grotendeels groen, maar toont wel paarse hints op de onderkantjes. Bloemontwikkeling (week 1 bloei) Pre-flowers ontwikkelen zich snel: kleine witte stampers exploderen bij alle knooppunten, knoppen beginnen te vormen (calyxen zwellen op). Nog geen echte knoppen, maar de sites worden beschadigd en hariger. Geur intenser: zoete munt + fruitige (aardbei/banaan) ondertoon, met een lichte prikkelende/skunky hint – typisch Purple Mints die al ruikt als je erlangs loopt. Bladontwikkeling Bladeren gezond en donkergroen, suikerblaadjes groeien mee en worden plakkerig. Geen tekorten, geen verbranding of gele randen – fanbladeren blijven strak. Nieuwe groei focust nu op bloemvorming op plaats van hoogte. Wortelontwikkeling Wortels nog actief in de 11L potten, maar groei vertraagt ​​licht nu in bloei. Witte wortels vullen de pot goed, drainagegaten tonen gezonde activiteit. Geen stress – de grotere potten helpen bij de voedingshongerige fase. Water & voeding deze week 4-5x bewaterd met 1,8-2,2 liter per plant (25-30% aangepast aan hogere drinkbehoefte in bloei) Hesi bloei-schema gestart: – Hesi Bloom Complex 5 ml/L – Hesi Boost 2 ml/L (2x per week) – Hesi PowerZyme 2 ml/L – Hesi SuperVit 1 druppel/10L EC: 1.5-1.6, pH bijgesteld naar 6.3 Plant drinkt meer sinds de overstap; geen overvoedingssignalen – alles opgenomen en strak. Training / vorming LST/scrog-net aangespannen: alle hoofdtakken (7-9 per plant) op gelijke hoogte gehouden. Met minimale stretch is de kroon mooi plat en vaak gevuld – ideale lichtpenetratie onder de BestVA 415W (volledig spectrum, Samsung LM301B diodes). Geen nieuwe training meer; alleen bijsturen als nodig. Samenvatting week 1 bloei De overstap naar 12/12 verliep perfect – minimale rek, snelle stamperontwikkeling en vroege geurboost bij alle drie de planten. De Purple Mints-genetica schittert al: compacte structuur, kleurvariatie en voedingshonger die goed wordt opgevangen door Hesi Bloom + Boost en de 11L potten. De BestVA 415W (gedimd maar krachtig) dekt het trio uitstekend in ~120x120 cm gebied. Verwacht in week 2-3 bloei gevormde toppen en meer trichomen. Nog ~7-8 weken tot oogst (totaal 55-60 dagen bloei). Dit trio wordt vet – drie compacte, kleurrijke beestjes onder goed licht!

Welcome back at week 2 in the vegetative Stage of my Sensi Amnesia feminized by Sensi Seeds. This strain is promising because she made a good progress over the last days without having any visible issues. This week I don’t plan anything special. The LED is at 80% with 60cm distance. Room temperature is something around 25-27 C by day with 50% humidity. She will get water 2-3 times per week. Day 18: Soil got dry, so I gave her 0,5L pH regulated water with 0,5ml BioGrow Day 21: she is very thirsty. I had to give 0,75L water with 0,5ml BioGrow. I will wait until this plant has 5-6 nodes to start creating a manifold hub at the 3. node. She starts to smell very early and intense. Now, the exhaust fan has to work 24/7 ! Keep in touch ! Cheers HighZenBerg

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2202 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 2/2- Here we go Week Nine! These ladies are past the 60 day mark since breaking ground and are in the home stretch! The 2 phenotypes are about equal in flower development. Their flowers are densely stacked and have a beautiful purple and pink hue contrasted by numerous bright orange pistils that are showing. The #2 is a beast with wide spread branching and plentiful bud sites! The #1 has had her issues and is a markedly different phenotype, but she's LOADED with some absolutely phenomenal flowers! It never fails that all the plants I've grown that experienced some sort of major issue have all turned out to be stellar! I'll keep rubbing my rabbits foot! 😎 Daily watering with 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water which is ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉ continues as these girls stay thirsty! 2/4- Yesterday I watered today with 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉. I also removed some shade leaves that had begun to yellow and checked trichomes on the #2... not yet. 🔎 2/6- This evening I put the #1 phenotype in the dark after checking her trichomes which were right where I want them at this point. She'll spend 48-72hrs in the dark with a fan on her and I'll also maintain the moisture in her pot so it doesn't dry out. I watered today, removed some shade leaves from the #2's canopy and turned her pot. The 2202 testers really look absolutely AMAZING and I can't wait to see them when they finish up! 🤩💚 2/8- Well, the #1 is hanging peacefully drying slowly at 64℉ @ 60% RH and should be ready to trim in 6-8 days +/-. The #2 is absolutely beautiful with her purple coloration getting more pronounced as she fades! I'll be putting her in the dark in the next 2-3 days to spend 48-72hrs before she gets cut and hung! 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you've enjoyed this journey as much as I! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Mexican Airlines is looking good. I'm doing some LST experimentation on her so far I'm seeing some nice development from the lower nodes, tried spreading those nodes out today. She's front-left in the group pics.

Domani dovrò andare a comprare il necessario per fare qualche clone mentre darò una tagliatina ai rami non necessari 🌱👽 Questa settimana ho integrato calcio e magnesio insieme a un infuso di banane che inizierò a dare prossima settimana Oggi ho cambiato a 14 ore di luce e dalla prossima passerò a 12…devo assolutamente tenere qualche clone di questa PPOG perché è una bomba 😛 Vedremo come si evolve più avanti non vedo l’ora 👉🏻👐🏻🤭🌴

Dutch Passion Shaman Pünktlich zum Erntedankfest am 5.10. war für mich der kritische Punkt überschritten. Shamanin 1 hat ihren Headbud und drei weitere Blüten genommen bekommen. Ich habe die beiden Pflanzen in der letzten Zeit täglich mit einer Taschenlampe abgesucht und nun war es soweit, leichte Faulstellen an dennStielen in mehreren Bereichen der Pflanze. Es waren nur sehr kleine Teile der Blüten, bzw. schlaffe Zuckerblätter betroffen, ich erkenne das mittlerweile relativ früh. Die Stielfäule, wie bei @birdmountain hatte sich bei der dunklen Dame an fünf Stellen gebildet und die angrenzende Blüte befallen. Verlust liegt bei zwei bis drei Gramm trocken. Am Sonntag gab es zum Erntedank Space Tee für zwei und der war sehr lecker, mit starker aber angenehmer Wirkung. Ich lasse den frischen Trimm und Blütenmaterial bei 90 Grad mit einem guten Schuss Olivenöl (zwei Esslöffel ca. eine Stunde ziehen. Die Kräuter aus dem Tee schmecken mit bissl Salz wie Spinat, lecker, und wenn man sich die auch reinzieht, dann wird‘s richtig gut, mit Lachflashs. 🤤 😅 Jetzt bin ich entspannter, was den Erntezeitpunkt und die zu erwartende Wirkung betrifft. Shamanin No. 2 musste dursten, hat recht weit oben eine weitere Blüte verloren, wobei ich die Stelle an einem dünneren Stiel auch hier vor der eigentlichen Blütenfäule entdeckt habe. Hier saß auch ein kleiner Käfer in der Nähe, wahrscheinlich hatte der es mitgebracht. Ihre Blätter beginnen sich zu verfärben. Es geht weiter, bis nächste Woche! Danke für‘s vorbeischauen. 💚

Final da 4° semana de floração Planta aparentemente saudável

Día de cosecha y la verdad estoy muy contento con lo que veo, son hermosas estas flores y su fragancia exquisita. La planta tuvo una deficiencia de Cal/Mag, la que se corrigió a tiempo pero de igual manera afectó en su crecimiento y rendimiento, más allá de eso estoy feliz por las flores de calidad que tendré para degustar más adelante.

_____ Week 9 | Day 56 - 63 | 2nd week of Flower ______ Day 64 🌞💧 - each Plant 3 Liter, with small drain - i give her 25% less fertilizer than indicated by Advanced... Day 68 🌞💧✂️ - each Plant 3 Liter, with small drain - defoliation and starting with Lollipopping. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Light - 12/12 h - 560 Watt - 2x 200 Watt Toplight - 4 x 40 Watt Lightbars PPFD - 900 - 1000 µmol Temp. avg. - 23,0° Hum. avg. - 64 % RLH

The buds are still bulking a little more as of day 64. The trichomes are pretty milky/frosty so the harvest is getting close, but I am not going to rush it if the plant is healthy and the buds are not suffering. My best estimate right now would be between day 68 and 78 for harvest. Day 67: areas of amber colored trichomes are appearing on the calyxes, under 10 percent of total. this is what I have been watching for to indicate harvest time so I will be giving water from here out and begin cutting down the plant in a few days. Thanks for reading!

I’ve changed to a 12/12 light cycle, removed a few big fan leaves, and tied 2 of the plants tops down..

it's too hot in the tent, which she doesn't like :( well, but there's no other choice, we'll have to end it like this, I think she'll endure and everything will be fine :)

Flush Week !! More yellowing and colder tempereatures... Feeding is 1 irrigation plain water, and the next with 2-3 ml Top Candy, giving the plant the Carbohydrates it needs, but no more nutrients this week. Eating way less water than before. Aprox 1 week until harvest, and the end of the next week probably is going to be sunny. So not much more to say fellas, sooo as usual, Take care and Good VIbes !!!

We’ve officially entered week 7 with our FBA 2503 from 42Fast Buds, and the transformation is impressive—our girl is now in full bloom! After a smooth and steady vegetative phase, the flowering stage is progressing beautifully. The decision to experiment with a 12/12 light cycle for this autoflowering strain has proven to be an interesting choice, and so far, the results are encouraging. The plant stands tall and strong in its 10-liter pot, with a well-structured shape thanks to early LST. The climate remains stable with daytime temperatures reaching up to 30°C and an average range of 27–28°C. Humidity levels are consistently between 60% and 65%, which has supported healthy growth throughout the cycle. We continue to feed her with Xpert Nutrients, and the impact is clearly visible—dense flowering sites, vibrant foliage, and a healthy overall appearance. The aroma is starting to build, and the buds are forming with great structure and frost. So far, this grow has been a pleasure, and week 7 marks a crucial point where everything starts coming together. We’re excited to see what the final weeks will bring!

Resin is increasing and looks like bud sites are ready to start putting on some bulk. Issue with low ph drift reaching 5.2 so I decreased 50ppm with distilled water without calmag to soften the water and counter the drift. After decreasing ppm, ph drift continues, so I flushed for 2 days with distilled water and added back nutrients at half strength to increase to 800 ppm over time.
