08/14 - We are in week 3 of veg and the ladies are coming along accordingly - For me personally its typically between week 3 and 5 where the ladies always hit a crazy growth spurt and blow out and these 4 look like they are about to do the same - I will run them in the 2x2 for about 2 maybe 3 more weeks before prepping for final transplant into 3 gall pots and tent swap into the 3x3 - Stayed tunned - Peace and Bud!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

The time has come! Flowering has been initiated and is off to a good start, The Photoperiod is now running at 11/13 on/off and the intensity of the light has been bumped up to 60% giving me a DLI of aorund 37.5 at 30" hang height in my 2x4. As the plants where topped a bunch I have found in previous grows the stretch will not be as crazy as if I left them on their own, however the increased pot size may negate that effect, only time will tell :D I also gave them a 2nd watering as the last one was leaving the pots a bit to light. This could be their new normal 1gal one week, 2 gal the next separated by a few days. They have all been amended with a 50/50 mix of grow and bloom from Gaia, Also added in some extra Insect Frass, Yeast and Bokashi grains, mixed this all with worm castings and compost for the top dress. added the compost after mixing it into the top layer so it gives it a bit of a blanket. made a little video of it and me watering the plants on a speed run. One thing I need to find is a sprayer head that has a 70-90 degree bend on it. I'm tired of watering from overhead as my wand is straight and does not have a bend. Its made of hard plastic and was thinking I would toss the tip in the oven to soften it up and place a coat hanger though it, then bend it ever so slightly and wait for it to cool, can snip off the wire and pull it out once its all done and have a bent tip. or I can get a 2nd wand attachment for it. Just been so busy have not had time to search for it, the peppers are doing much better as well, after the defoliation from last week they where getting a bit more light but that is all gone now, the plants have taken it back. and they are in shade, the plants seem to like it more. only the one strain likes the intense light of the led's, Fatalii peppers, It might be the hottest ones I'm growing if the goronong don't measure up. The JigSaw peppers are also starting to show some of their variegation in the leaves that make them pretty to grow now they are in the shade more. and its bound to be better then pure purple leaves from the LED"s Butterwort is eating all the gnats as well. so no problem there. Will apply the nematodes later next week to kill em off in the medium. Don't want them getting trapped in the flowers. stupid little fuckers. I left out some of the extras in the water this week as it was its first topdressing, didn't want to stress it out to much, I will be topdressing every week and diving the total ammount of amendments in 4 parts. vs one big feeding at beginning of the month like its been suggested on the label, I find this helps avoid the N burn I normally see and gives them a bit better of a breakdown for flowering period. It worked really well with my G13 Labs Blue Cindy grow so I am repeating the process and will likely make this my new standard. I will also be adding in some Mg into every other water till stretch is done same with a very light feeding of molasses, I know it has been negative in past grows but going to try it out again with much smaller amounts. 1tea/pot, the extra sugars should work wonders on the Bokashi added into the soil and allow it to thrive. Plants are starting to get more of a funk to them as well, So i feel that's what was happening with the gifted plant to my parents smelling up the place, it was just entering flowering as it was not in a tent n the lighting must have been to low. And the little cuttings I did last week are fine, no roots but will soon have a bunch of little clones to go. Just in time for spring. I think that's it. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

This week has been a mixed bag for my two plants. #1 is really taking off now, showing strong growth and picking up speed!🌱 It’s looking healthy and vigorous, which is great to see. Towards the end of the week, I also noticed the first signs of flowering—exciting! Unfortunately, #2 is still struggling.😩 It has barely grown and remains very small compared to #1. If it doesn’t start making progress soon, I might consider replacing it with another plant. I’ll give it a little more time, but let’s see how things develop in the next week. Fingers crossed!🤞

D16 : So far, the weather is really cloudy for the month of June and the plants stretched due to the lack of light. Since this is their final pots I decided to add a bit of soil around the stem to stabilize them. So far, it works pretty well. To test their stability, I've tried to blow on the plant before and after and the difference was clear! The weather was bad this week but knowing that, the plants grew pretty well. Parameters : ------------------------------------------- Humidity range : 60-70% Temperature range : 18-21°C SUN Average : cloudy Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Apricot : 12 cm Gorilla Punch : 10 cm Orange Sherbet : 10 cm Pound Cake : 12.5 cm

I pull it out of the tent so I can take some photos. she grows strong and healthy.

Day 114. Gorilla Max is totally ready, maybe she would bulk up, but last white pistil went brown at least a week ago. Time to trim. Bud not solid, but kinda hard, bottom all airy and small, but she smells and sticky like hell, so fruity ... Had to chop her, because got tiered of seeds everywhere, so cleaned my draws and fridge, from 45 found bag seeds started new diary, had to make space for them. Want to try out 12/12 from start and even if i would leave them under natural sun , they would stretch too much in first stage of grow and would repeat that grow patern indoors. Scissors hash was nice, super soft, hard to roll, all stays on hands. On this plant found two seeds, maybe some hidden in colas, but its not even close to bad that i was imagining at the beginning. My watering damage is obvious, Gorilla Max and Bunny were best plants, now - they are smallest... Last weeks very important, till week 5 of flower and that incident they were leaders, overdrying don't work . Hope i will learn this lesson. Day 120. Last 3 girls are down. Gorilla Max - 88 g. Of dry bud. Think she and Bunny will be smallest of them all. Buds are airy, but very sticky and all calaxies went pink. So in spliff it looks really funky. Needed to lolitop them higher, maybe overall look and cola structure would be better then. Lanky Gorilla is a champ, no doubt. Think this girl should beat 4 ounces easy. Day 126. So total of all 4 plants is 401. A bit less than was hoping, but target achieved. Update will follow.

Made sure I posted a "Championship" QUALITY VIDEO according to @Fast_Buds :D suck it to @Fast_Buds and whoever has been running the site for the past year because HOLY SHIT has the quality been down ACROSS the board 😴 The site wasn't even ready for the FLASH change over on new years and they had to scramble to do obvious backend work lolol *Fart Noise* 😂

Blütewoche 6 Was soll ich sagen die Blüten werden immer fetter und fester. Ich bin eigentlich nur noch alle zwei Tage am gießen. Mehr ist nicht zu tun. Gut das die Gemüseanzucht wieder los geht sonst wäre es fast langweilig 😉 Die Pflanzen sehen nach wie vor sehr gesund aus, lediglich im unteren Bereich merkt man langsam das Nährstoffe verlagert werden. Trauermücken sind kaum noch zu sehen. Da haben die fressfeinde sich wohl gelohnt. Die Skywalker ist eine sehr einfach anzubauende Sorte. Bei mir haben sich meiner Meinung nach 4 unterschiedliche Phenos gezeigt. Lasst mir dazu aber gerne eure Meinung da! Liebe Grüße 🖖

Eine Woche ist vergangen und beide Pflanzen scheinen es trotz Überwässerung zu schaffen. Der Blumat Digital Wert ist mittlerweile immerhin von 30 (!) auf 64mbar geklettert. Ich hoffe er wird sich jetzt schnell Richtung 100mbar entwickeln. Sanlight ist jetzt auf Stufe 3 (gekoppelt mit ACI AI+) D.h etwa 320 mikromol/m2/s . Die London Marker hat Lust auf den großen Topf, ich denke ich habe ihr Wachstum mit frühen Topping und dem wegschneiden von 3-4 Blättern aber etwas gebremst. Die Petrus ist nach wie vor sehr zart. Mein Gefühl sagt mir Sie wird in den nächsten 2 Wochen etwas mehr wachsen. Was die „ungesunden“ Blätter unten zu bedeuten haben, kann ich nicht genau einschätzen. Wurzelfäule ist nicht auszuschließen, ich hoffe das dieses Problem ggf. meine Regenwürmer regeln. Beide Pflanzen haben 2 mal Foliarspray bekommen: MG (zu wenig MG im Gießwasser) und EM01 Mikroorganismen Ich versuche mich gerade das erste Mal im Training der Pflanzen, gar nicht so einfach mit der veränderten Struktur bei Steckies. Bin deshalb wie man sieht noch sehr vorsichtig :) Ansonsten heißt es jetzt geduldig bleiben, wenig tun( gar nicht so leicht) und hoffen, dass nun das Wachstum so richtig beginnen kann..

did some LST to this girl. We were in the middle of a mini drought but we did get 6mm of rain yesterday. So that will help with growth a lot. I also watered them with a whopping 9 gal each day before the rain. So I am expecting some excellent growth over the coming week. Ive been looking for an inexpensive source of granulated humic and fulvic acids if anyone knows of a source in southern Ontario.

Hi growmies Everything is fine here Sweet zenzation is showing how much XL it is these days I'm going to do some lollipoping and defoliation so as to make her concentrate high Runtz will be defoiled for the last time and then we'll see what she can do Bruce bunner pheno 2 will be watered with only water and for the last time in his life it was wonderful to see his development next week will be cut Pheno 1 bruce banner I have doubts about what to do it seems to me that the flowers grow a little but I don't know whether to follow the pre-established dates or wait since the stress has lengthened the times Thanks for likes and comments Never stop grow✅

This week I found a hermaphrodite amongst the ladies. I got rid of it but not before it dropped a little pollen 😭.. I,ve got my fingers crossed 🤞

Einen schönen Sonntag mal wieder & frohes Neues 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Es läuft alles in allem weiterhin stabil =) Ich tracke und erhalte nach wie vor die Nährstofflösung. Mir ist lediglich ein kleiner Interpretationsfehler unterlaufen… Notorious hat erste Anzeichen von Salzstress durch einen konstant zu hohen EC gezeigt. Kein starkes Schadbild und ziemlich sicher nichts, was den Run oder ihre Entwicklung gefährden würde zum Glück =D Trotzdem hat es mich zu dem Zeitpunkt ehrlich gesagt ziemlich abgefuckt 😅 Ich hätte hier deutlich intensiver hinschauen sollen. Da sie von ihrer Blattstruktur her generell eher hart bzw. rau ist, ist mir der Fehler erst relativ spät aufgefallen, jetzt zeigt sie bereits leichte lokale Verbrennungen. Sonst sind keine klassischen Mängelbilder vorhanden, keine Root-Probleme und keine pH-Ausreißer. Die anderen Ladies performen im selben Reservoir völlig unauffällig 😊 Ich gehe davon aus, hier einen EC-empfindlichen Phäno erwischt zu haben. Natürlich habe ich mich direkt nach dem ausgiebigen Ärgern daran gemacht, die Nährstofflösung etwas zu entspannen =D.. Ich bin jetzt runter auf 1.800 EC und beobachte zunächst ein paar Zyklen des Uptake-Patterns. Danach entscheide ich, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake Frostet fleißig weiter ❄️ Ich finde, sie sieht einfach traumhaft aus 😄 Ihr Geruch hat sich nochmal deutlich intensiviert und geht jetzt klar in Richtung beerig, der Joghurt Teil ist verschwunden =D Bin wirklich gespannt, was da noch kommt und wie sie sich weiterentwickelt 🔥 Purpz ist Aktuell für mich ganz klar der Eyecatcher im Zelt =) Top Frost, sehr schöne homogene Sites und ich meine bereits leichte Anthocyan-Einlagerungen erkennen zu können 😍 Der Geruch geht inzwischen eher in Richtung Diesel, mit einem leicht fruchtigen Abgang 🍋 Schwer zu greifen, aber extrem spannend 😄 Notorious THC Entwickelt sich ebenfalls gut 😊 Abgesehen von den lokalen Burns macht sie insgesamt einen guten Eindruck. Der kushige, eher dumpfe Geruch hat sich manifestiert, allerdings muss man bei ihr schon etwas näher rangehen =) Vom Frost zieht sie gut nach ❄️ Vom Aufbau her habe ich generell den Eindruck, dass sie etwas später dran ist. Dafür sehe ich aber klar das Potenzial auf richtig schöne Buds, die Ansätze sehen sehr vielversprechend aus =D Guzzlerz Hat auch echt gut aufgeholt, bin ehrlich gesagt überrascht 😄 Optisch immer noch etwas zart, das hat sie noch nicht ganz abgelegt, aber von der Entwicklung her würde ich sagen mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit NTHC 👍 Bei ihr meine ich einen leichten bläulichen Schimmer in der jungen Blüte erkennen zu können, für mich bleibt es auch hier absolut spannend =D Geruchs review gibt's hier beim nächsten update. ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten weiterhin die Lösung 🔧😊 VPD: 1,35 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm im Durchschnitt EC: 1.800–1.850 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und Mitfiebern 😊 Ich wünsche euch allen eine schöne Woche 🌱

Well,well,well.....Damn! This is my first grow with FastBuds outdoors.. And I am very impressed..She stretched significantly and is loving the sunny Temps... She has doubled in size In the last week 😳 and she has been only drinking water.. I must say..this strain is super fast..

Howdy Hou. Let it dehydrate pretty good and it bounced back nicely. Timelapse is 24h from watering it. 1.1ec 6.4hp Now problems should be gone. Pretty sure this wasnt last time to overwater and try to survive from there. Seems to me that i have to weight pots before planting so i can measure when to water it again. Must be idiot proof plan for me. Lets get back to budiness when something happens.

16 august 2022 Given the way the plant is growing, I am a bit overwhelmed. It has two definite layers. Top layer has like 9 main nodes. Bottom layer has many many smaller nodes. But they are evenly distributed and have all the same height. From the base of the plant to the 2nd layer, I have removed all of the leaves. But I really have no idea if I should removed all of the second layer in order to really keep only the ~9 biggest nodes. Oh, let's wait, I guess.

The little ones are developing well, unfortunately there are a few minor nutrient problems in the direction of Calmag with the Morello Cherries and also slight signs of this with the TerpyZ Punch. I counteracted this with a foliar spray. The pH value of the hydrosystem has unfortunately dropped a little to 5.5, which I have equalised with ph up from Plagron. The plants are currently getting light between 800-900 ppfd and as soon as the stretch starts, l'll increase this to 1000 ppfd. Both ladies are slowly starting to smell.

I will be growing her again, as I feel like I let her down, by letting her PH drift so low.. Other than that, she grew beautifully, and fumes of potency as you gaze at her! She yielded more than I expected! She's not that far below my previously lowest yielding plant! :)
