Hello GD Crew!!! I’m glad to finally be back with a new diary. A LOT has happened since my last diary. The large room I was using back then got infested with spider mites. For a while I thought I had them beat, but they came back with a vengeance. So I thoroughly cleaned my 2x4 tent and set it up in the opposite side of the house. However, that part of the house is also now my new man cave and was under construction until a few months ago (its still not completely done yet, but close enough). I have also switched back to LED lighting. I’m using a pair of Spider Farmer SF1000’s (100w) LED’s. I was using a 315w CMH fixture but felt I was getting better results with my old blurple ViparSpectra’s (both of which have died). Also, it was getting too hot in the tent with the CMH. To be completely honest the best weed I’ve ever grown was using a 1000w HPS, but that could possible melt a 2x4 tent and I’d be tripping circuit breakers all the time again. After a lot of research it looked like the Spider Farmer SF1000’s were the best bang for the buck in the LED market these days. They have the right components (Samsung LM301B diodes and MeanWell drivers) and have great specs. I was able to purchase them on Amazon Prime Day for $129/each (USD). For soil I’m using Coast of Main Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix. I had been previously trying to amend and reuse old soil or mix old soil 50/50 with new soil and in retrospect that was a mistake. The PH was totally unpredictable as were what nutrients were available or deficient. I felt like I was always trying to fix soil problems and one thing would lead to another. So, from now on its fresh soil in every pot. I’m using 3 gallon pots with self watering reservoirs at the bottom. In addition to the Coast of Main Stonington Blend I’m also using Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix. I filled the 3 gallon pots with the Coast of Main Stonington Blend first, then dig out a hole in the middle about the size of a grapefruit and filled that hole with the Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix. Then I planted the seeds about knuckle deep in the middle of the Seedling Mix. This seemed to work great, both pots had small seedlings appear in 5 days. This diary will focus primarily on FastBuds BlackBerry, but I am also growing a DinaFem Critical+ Auto at the same time. I’ve grown both of these strains a few times in the past with mixed results. But, I’m hoping this grow will be far greater than those in the past. My plan is to allow the Coast of Main Stonington Blend act as the ‘super soil’ it is supposed to be and not add any additional nutrients. I will however be adding RealGrowers Recharge on a regular basis (I love that stuff, it really makes a difference) and will probably also add some CalMag once in a while. But that’s all. Additionally, I do not plan on doing much training with these girls. I will LST bend them over at a 45 degree angle around the time they hit their flowering stretch, but that’s all. Bending at a 45 degree angle gives better exposure to lower branches and allows those lower branches to produce larger tops. Hoping for the best!!! Please feel free to comment and follow. I’ll be updating this diary weekly and will be doing videos in the future. Here’s a breakdown of the equipment: 1 - 2x4x6 tent 2- Spider Farmer SF1000 LED fixtures (100w/ea) 1- Carbon filter 2- 3 gallon pots w/self watering reservoirs Coast of Main Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix RealGrowers Recharge Also, here’s what Coast of Main says about their Stonington Blend: “Coast of Maine Organic Products Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix is a complex “super soil” designed for high performance container growing. It works well with tomatoes, and, where growing cannabis and medical marijuana is legal, growers have reported tremendous results. This soil incorporates mycorrhizal fungi, kelp, fish bone and alfalfa meal, as well as worm castings, peat, coir and lobster compost.” Here are the specs on the Spider Farmer SF1000’s: Materials: Samsung LM301B diodes and MeanWell Drivers Power Draw: 100w PPFD: 922 umols/s @ 12” PPF: 250 umol/m2/s PPE: 2.5 umol/J Yield: 2.5g/W Spectrum: 660-665nm,3000K,5000K, IR 760nm LED: 218 pcs

Así lucen los clones a la izquierda de selección propia y las fem Fast Buds a la derecha (semillas, plantas más grandes, verdes y vigorosas) en esta semana cambiamos a floración 12/12, ya que no me interesa tanto una gran producción, sino poder probar el perfil de terpenos y escoger el fenotipo adecuado para poder hacer selección y hacer un cultivo bajo mi elección y gusto.

➡️Bella ragazzi date le circostanze : Vaso 2L Crescita lenta Mancanza di spazio nella grow. Ho deciso di creare un monocima. Vedremo se riuscirò a creare qualcosa di buono 💪🏼

She's looking super healthy and and strong can't wait to see this beautiful strain in full flowering stage, I'm feeling a very good stretch,shed definitely a big girl,she's eating very well, no deficientes or nutrients burn so far. Let's see how this wonderful organic lady performs. On August 9th I start to see the change from vegetative stage to flowering stage,she looks super healthy and strong,I missed some watering a few days ago,however she is perfectly fine and happy,she's a dream to grow.

08/12: Transplanted OBWand Do-si into 7 gal pots. Fed all of the ladies. Also bought a small pack of RAW bloom microbes and applied to plants for about 3 weeks till the package was done.

Anfang woche 7 in flow. Jetzt gehts ums ausrefen lassen😇. Duften echt inreressant. Kanns aber nicht beschreiben nach was🤷‍♂️😅😅 aber eher fruchtig aufalle fälle Die vitalsten und saubersten stecklinge (weil alle 2-3monate bei tumi getestet) gibts wie immer hier bei ROOTS-FARMS. The best in austria and maybe europe

These seeds are very good genetics they withstand a lot of heat and they still remain looking healthy they struggle through it but they look like they're overcoming it I'm very proud of the genetics very proud of my light and my tent good luck GrowMie have fun

.

It's still growing nicely and except for the thrips that I can't eradicate no matter how many times I spray the whole plant with neem oil, everything is going well. If anyone knows an efficient way to deal with thrips, feel free to share 🙏

hello to all growers this week with a big surprise even though the weather was very cloudy i managed to consider myself surprised! finally they proved to be VERY STRONG even after the double decanting and the windy and cold wet days are growing I doubled the fertilizer in a dizzying way! TOP AUTO great buy! later the plants in the 15 liter black containers dried immediately, today in this regard for my new arrival, I bought 50 liter clay-colored fabric pots, to be able to add four fem, I added 3 specimens that had been given to me left as a gift from the lemon fast bud stand and the girls have real vigor on them unfortunately I had to vary the volume of earth. I hope it can be made to grow. I'm filling the 50 liter pots with lots of water and fertilizers, the temperature has finally stabilized. Have a good week everyone!👽 SMELLS OF FORBIDDEN CHERRY I don't know yet whether to pump too much bloom booster this rare beauty I'm in love it's easy to get lost in its dark plus it smells fresh unimaginable terpins not comparable with most plants seen in my entire life. the freshness envelops you and you wonder only if this is a dream. trust me it's all true🙌😍

This plant stacked all over very well I was kinda surprised it also has some really great look bud structure it’s gonna be some fire idk if the buds will be huge but they will be some a1

Esta semana ha sido un poco raras ya que tengo dos criaturas que no me está gustando su color y la forma de sus hojas que son la B y la C. La B ha ido tomando un mejor color pero la C pareciera cualquier planta menos de canabis y lo peor del caso es que el la criatura B encontré unos insectos. Son en realidad millones pero no maltratan a la criatura. Es la la única que los tiene. Gracias al que me pueda guiar. Les dejo el vídeo de los dinosaurios insectos

Día 31. Las plantas pegaron un estirón muy fuerte estos días. Estoy pensando en pasarlas a floración antes. Pero no quiero mudarlas al principio de la floración, para evitar stress. Sería lindo tener una referencia de cuanto ganan en altura en floración. Si es el doble en altura, no va a haber problema. Pero si es el triple o más, cómo muchas variedades que he hecho, se puede complicar de poco a mucho. Ya corté esquejes para intentar mantener las dos variedades. Voy a ir mirando, pero son 10 días más de crecimiento y de raíces que van a tapar todo.

Week 9: Blueberry Auto's Packing on the Thiccness! Yo growmies! Just swung by the garden, and let me tell you, my jaw hit the floor faster than a dropped joint! The Blueberry Auto said "sayonara" to stretching and is now channeling all her energy into thicc bud formation! YES! Look at that main cola - it's practically bursting with juicy flowers! I also snagged a trippy video to show you this frosty lady in all her glory. And the smell, oh man, the smell! It's getting intense like a skunk who just discovered high-end perfume. Hahaha! We're getting closer to harvest. I can feel (and smell) it. How long will she keep on packin' the weight? Stay tuned, growmies. High fives all around!
