These ladies were a breeze to grow... Feed them all organic nutes and they loved it... They never gave me a problem and at the end of the grow I was rewarded with huge dense nuggets. One of the best performers all of the genectics in this run.

8/10 Monday. 12:05AM FULL RETARD MODE ACTIVATED 8/10 MOnday - looking good needs water will ask Grok: For your Fast Buds autos (RF3s + Mendo Frost) at roughly week 5 in coco, target an incoming EC of about 1.2–1.6 mS/cm (roughly 600–800 ppm on the 500 scale). 8/11 4:30am 550 PPFD is solid for where those plants appear to be. Looking at the photo, you’ve got a clean, well-organized Spider Farmer tent with healthy-looking plants in fabric pots (plus the smaller one in the white pot). At 45 W per light (90 W total) and hitting ~550 µmol/m²/s, the efficiency is actually pretty good — modern diodes can deliver that intensity when the lights are relatively close and the footprint isn’t oversized. Quick context for that PPFD • Current stage (looks like mid-to-late veg on most of them): 450–650 is a strong sweet spot. You’re right in the middle. • You can push a bit higher (600–700+) if you want denser branching and tighter internodes, but 550 is already productive and lower-stress. • Once you flip to flower you’ll generally want to climb toward 700–900+ (depending on how the plants respond and whether you add CO₂). A few practical notes • Height & uniformity: At only 90 W total, the distance from the canopy is doing a lot of the work. If the outer edges or lower plants are noticeably dimmer, you may need a slight height adjustment or to rotate pots so everything stays even. • Heat: 76 °F and 48 % RH is comfortable. With only 90 W you’re not fighting heat. • Dimming headroom. The plants look happy — good color, no obvious light stress or stretch. You’re in a good place. If you want to share the exact model of the lights or the tent size, I can give more specific height/PPFD targets. 8/11 2:29PM these lights are so efficient and so good that I had to turn the electricity back each light is now down to about 40 W each so 80 instead of 90 Ish. I didn’t check the PPFD rating so I don’t know what the light measurements actually are, but I know keeping them at 40 each so a total of 80 W is very good. I raised the lights out there about 12 inches maybe a little bit more about 14 inches high off the top of the plant but doing good so far my EC was 1004 on whatever scale that is I’m using from 900 to 1.2 is what was recommended for EC. 8/ 10:48 AM I don’t really remember how to use those art supplies but my plants are starting to look nice and bonsai. One of them will be shaped like a snake. It’s gonna look really good and self supporting. The other ones are pretty good. These are gonna be a nice decorative grow. I should get a lot out of them too starting to flower fast buds always has the greatest staff. I mean there their plants are always the best. They respond so well to everything, especially all my mistakes they always recover. 8/13 12:47AM The two that are a touch pale are probably the ones you’re noticing. In coco that’s usually one of three things: Mild nitrogen hunger (common once they start really taking off) Cal-Mag demand ramping up (especially under LED) Or just the natural variation between the RF3 and the Mendo Frost phenotypes A light Cal-Mag bump or a small nitrogen nudge is the smart move. Don’t jump on it hard — just enough to bring the color back without pushing them into dark green and locking out other things. You’re already dialed in enough that a gentle correction should fix it quick. 👻👽 Your light setup is the real story though. Running two Mars Hydro TS1000s at ~40 W each instead of one at 80–90 W is a classic low-heat efficiency play. Same total photons, way better distribution, and almost zero heat load. That’s why you’re getting this kind of growth with almost no thermal stress. The plants are loving the gentle, even intensity. Dropping from 45 W to 40 W each was the right call — 45 was just enough to start pushing them. 👻👽

The countdown is on. Fade is more gratifying every single day, and she's getting so heavy I've hiked my net up another couple of inches and loosely wired a couple of branches up to the net. I didn't have any good gardening wire so I used saved twisty tie wires. Probably exactly the wrong thing for it but I don't reckon her stems are growing any more at all, so I'm satisfied with it for just another week or so. I'm rather expecting to chop around day 63..? Just watching those trichs, but also trying to line up a little tree-trimming party for the beneficiaries of my little verdant vestal voyage. One tree coming down, two trees going up (holiday tree decorating and the seed I'll start germing for my next go. Finances will decide if it will be trying an auto with Mephisto's Creme de la Chem, or if it'll be the freebie auto AK I got with this seed lol.), and extra hands to help these old eyes with the detail work and celebration. Very pleased to report that humidity is back on track, just in time for drying. Absolutely getting more of this strain. She's been a wonderful teacher and a fantastic friend, and I've tried to do my very best by her. Somehow in the past week of work craziness my count got all messed up, she's at this moment on day 56 of flower, 107 from germ.

Casey's Rollex OG is growing good. She is transitioning more into flowering and should be toward the end part of her stretch. She was lollipopped today and a selective defoliation done across the canopy. She has been eating a lot and is looking good. Thank you Spider Farmer and DutchFem Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

1/30/2023 - Day 28: beginning of week 4. All plants are doing great. They all seemed to react great to the first topping. The two Grand Prix are definitely more stretchy. The Ice Bath and Frozen White Runtz already have some nice braching starting, but they have a slight droop today. Think I may have slightly over watered. I'll give them all a few days to dry down. Will be transplanting into their final 3x3 bed in another week or two. Just chopped and dropped the cover crop last week, so letting that mulch in a bit first. 2/1/2023 - Day 30 veg: mov3d the plants into the 3x3, but just placed them on top of the bed for now. Foliar fed all four plants with 6.5 ph water and Pure Protein Dry. 2/2/2023 - Day 31: watered with a mix of ThermX-70, Rootwise Mycrobe Complete, FishShit, BuildASoil Big 6, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, and Yah-Whey. 2/3/2023 - Day 32: started my weekly IPM. Foliar spayed each plant with warm water mixed with Tweetmint Plant Wash. Also, the droop I was experiencing the other day, which I thought was the plants being thirsty, may have been something else. I think they might be slightly overwatered. They still have been drooping and the growth seems to have slowed. Letting them dry out more before I water again. I would like them to be a little healthier before transplanting again. 2/5/2023 - Day 34: all the pots were feeling light today, so I watered all 4. Water was a ph of 6.5, mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja Extract, Yah-Whey, and FishShit. I also checked the roots before watering and they are ready to transplant. I did not have enough time today, but plan to get then into the 3x3 bed next week.

Both shot up in size over the past week or two, ones at 113cm other now at 130cm, tallest has been bent over and tied down to hopefully stop the growth, coming along well now and can't wait for the next few weeks to pass, First ever grow only done LST on 1 plant let the other grow naturally but put a few ties on it this week to get more light exposure as it seems way behind the other and there is only actually about 2 days in them, what are peoples thoughts on how its looking? Thanks

Vegetationswoche 12 - 26.06. – 03.07.2026 Diese Woche habe ich die Utopia einmal großzügiger entlaubt und die Triebe mit etwas Low-Stress-Training weiter unter dem Netz verteilt. So füllt sich die Fläche langsam immer gleichmäßiger. Gegossen wurde einmal mit ungefähr einem Liter, ansonsten habe ich nicht weiter eingegriffen. Die Pflanze sieht nach wie vor sehr gesund aus und entwickelt sich stabil weiter.

SWEET SEEDS - Red Hot Cookies – Week 5 She's growing amazingly well — already reaching 80 cm in height! 🌿📏 We had to do more bending and even topped a few main colas to control the height and shape her structure 🌱✂️ Visually, everything looks healthy and strong — she's loving the sun, training, and nutrients ☀️💚

A lil nite burn shown on both of the ladies but they will be getting no more nutes they are in there final 2 weeks in my opinion and so they should be showing me amber tricombs anytime now.

Day 28 flowering: Hi all. The mango girls are continuing to swell with lots of fresh pistils and looking nice and crispy too. They are all beginning to smell so sweet of the mango that they take their name from. A real subtle smell that I haven't had before in a strain . The 3 older plants have been stripped out a littlenand some of their big fans removed for airflow but I did not go too aggressive on them as I did not want to slow them down too much They are not too tall and would easily train even lower for a stealth grow. The buds themselves are a nice thickness and show some promise to join up in the coming weeks for mini donkey dicks.( sorry for the term but easiest verbal to visual cue.lol) I initially thought the node spacing on a few was a little wide but seeing how they are forming , this is less of a concern. the #4 at her day 21 is looking ok but her pot had feed pellets used as the nutes and she may be too overfed. I will use just water for her future feeds now. I am very impressed with how easy these are growing and with very little effort needed from me now beside waterings. I am hoping by keeping so much of the leaf intact that it doesn't stop the development within the deeper canopy. There are some really nicely forming buds in there so airflow is a vital concern now they can only get even fatter from here lol be safe and well.

Noticed spots on leaves. I think she might have a calcium Or manganese deficiency. DAY 16. TOPPING DAY 18. removed 2 top leaves to clear light for undergrowth. Day 19 definitely think i have calcium deficit plant. Will be adding some cal-mag nutrition in next couple days. Say 20. Major fan leaf pruning. Hopefully new growth will explode soon.

Wow what a strain! The flowers are absolutely caked with trichs, making the flowers look heavily frosted. The smell is pungent and pretty dank smelling. The taste I find to be pretty mild. Where this strain stands out is the very powerful punch it packs! WOW lol this one will have you staring at a blank tv screen for 30 minutes before you remember what you were doing lol no complaints on this strain, have it growing again this run too! Thanks for following along!!! On to the next one!
