Hy Growmies, the ladies are doing great. The node spacing looks like they will fill in completely. Still drinking 5 liters a day but not lowering the EC that much any more. They are smelling strong, start to get loads of trychoms. Didn't find any nanners so far. So far no problems, pretty good genetics from Barney's Farm.

What up everyone. These ladies are doing good. I started adding calmag to my feed maybe 2ml per gallon. They're all showing daily growth. I'll probably give them another week or so more before transplanting them into 3gal fabric pots. All in all Happy Growing.

the girl was completely dry on the day of watering... it would be better to water the day before... but the spoons are already in the afternoon :) in a week the girl will probably get another leaf removal, her flowers have already started to grow :) good luck to everyone :).

Day 64 to 70 On autopilot. I have been light on the nutrients so bumped up the nutes to 810ppm this week. Forbidden Runtz 1 is coming close, the buds are getting THICC and hard. I'm keeping a close eye on the trichomes. It's almost go time. I predict 2-3 more weeks for the rest but I don't know anything Feeding around 750ppm this week. Lightening up on Nutes for FR1 at ~350ppm.

3/16 234AM MONDAY POTATO N WEEK CELEBRATIONS! The plants in your photos look like healthy, vigorous **RF3 autoflower seedlings** (likely Banana Purple Punch Auto RF3 or similar from Fast Buds' upgraded RF3 line, based on the context of your previous grows with their genetics). They're in early vegetative stage at around 3 weeks from seed—nice bushy structure, good node spacing, dark green leaves, no major deficiencies or burn yet. The coco medium shows some perlite mix, and they're in small pots with what looks like a well-draining setup. Solid start **RF3 autos** from Fast Buds are bred for stability, vigor, and resilience (often with heavy resin, dense buds, and good yields), but like most modern autos, they're sensitive to overfeeding early on—especially in coco, where salts build fast if not managed. ### Recommended EC at 3 Weeks (Early Veg/Pre-Flower Transition) At week 3, autos are usually ramping up vegetative growth and may start showing pre-flower signs soon (pistils around nodes). Fast Buds' general autoflower feeding advice (from their guides and nutrient articles) emphasizes starting low and going slow: - **Target EC: 0.8–1.2 (800–1200 µS/cm)** in the feed solution. - Start at the lower end (~0.8–1.0 EC) if your plants are still very young-looking or if you've had any tip issues before. - Push toward 1.0–1.2 EC if they're hungry (rapid growth, pale lower leaves) and responding well—no burn. - This is often ~400–600 PPM (500 scale) or ~560–840 PPM (700 scale), but always go by EC meter for accuracy in coco. - Always measure **runoff EC** too—aim for it to be no more than +200–300 above input to avoid salt buildup. If runoff is much higher, do a light flush with FloraKleen (like your 4 mL/gal plan) before bumping up. - pH the feed to **5.8–6.2** (coco sweet spot), and water to 15–20%+ runoff every feed to prevent the issues you've seen with Purpinator/salts. Many growers with Fast Buds autos (including RF3 lines like Banana Purple Punch or Cherry Cola RF3) report week 3 feeds around 0.9–1.1 EC in coco/hydro setups, starting lighter if using tap/soft water like yours. Your previous success with lighter Maxi feeds post-flush at ~900–1300 EC later on fits well—don't jump straight to 1.3 yet at week 3; build gradually. ### Recommended PPFD (Light Intensity) at 3 Weeks PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density, in µmol/m²/s) measures usable light for photosynthesis. For autos in early veg: - **Target PPFD: 300–500 µmol/m²/s** at canopy level. - 300–400 is safe and conservative for week 3—prevents stretch or light stress while encouraging compact, bushy growth. - 400–500 if plants are stretching a bit or you want faster veg (RF3s are vigorous, so they can handle it). - Avoid over 600 early—autos can bleach or foxtail if blasted too hard young. - Measure at the top of the canopy with a good PAR meter (or app like Photone if calibrated). In Indio's setup (likely LED or HPS?), hang lights higher early (18–24" for LEDs) and lower gradually as they grow. - Keep 18/6 or 20/4 light schedule—autos thrive on consistent long days. General tips for your RF3 at this stage: - If using Maxi series (like your previous grows), mix a light bloom/veg combo—e.g., mostly MaxiGro early, transition to MaxiBloom as pre-flower hits. - Watch for clawing (N excess😂) or tip burn (high EC)—flush lightly if needed. - These RF3 upgrades are forgiving but love good airflow and moderate feeds for those dense, resinous buds. Your plants look primed for a strong run—keep that intuition going! How's the light distance/setup right now, and what's your current feed EC looking like? Any pre-flower signs yet? Drop more pics if they stretch or change post-week 3. You're killing it in coco—keep observing runoff and leaves. 🌿🚀 3/19 330am 👨‍🔬 **Adding L-Proline (the amino acid supplement growers use) to plants on soft water can provide some helpful support against the stresses you're dealing with, but it's not a full fix—think of it as a stress-buffer rather than a mineral replacement.** Soft water (low in calcium and magnesium) often triggers **Ca/Mg deficiencies** in bloom stage (especially with Cha Ching or MaxiBloom, which don't supply much Ca/Mg on their own). This leads to issues like tip burn, leaf curl, weak cell walls, nutrient lockouts, oxidative damage (ROS buildup), and overall plant stress that feels like "the plant is struggling to hold it together." Proline steps in here as an **osmoprotectant**—it's one of the compounds plants naturally ramp up under stress. ### What Proline Actually Does in This Situation - **Helps with osmotic/water balance** — Soft water can disrupt turgor pressure and water movement inside cells (similar to mild drought or salinity stress). Proline stabilizes cell membranes and helps the plant retain water better, reducing wilting or limpness. - **Reduces oxidative stress** — Ca/Mg shortages cause free radical damage. Proline acts as an antioxidant and protects proteins/enzymes, so deficiency symptoms (yellowing, spotting, slowed bud development) don't spiral as fast. - **Improves overall resilience** — In cannabis and general hydro/soil grows, L-proline (or full amino acid mixes containing it) has been shown to boost stress tolerance, speed recovery, and even support better nutrient uptake indirectly. Studies and grower reports note it helps under nutrient imbalance, drought-like conditions, and environmental swings—exactly the secondary stresses soft water creates. - **Bloom-stage bonus** — Since you're already in late flower with Cha Ching/MaxiBloom, proline can support resin/terpene production and bud density without pushing excessive veg growth. It won't magically add the missing Ca or Mg (those are still critical—soft water + high-P bloom nutes often screams for CalMag), but it can make the plant more tolerant while you correct the root issue. ### How Much Effect to Expect Right Now - **Positive but moderate** — Many hydro/RO growers add amino acids (including proline) specifically for soft water setups and report less burn, better leaf health, and stronger finishes. It won't turn a severe deficiency around overnight, but it can slow the damage and give your plants a fighting chance in the final weeks. - **No downside at proper doses** — It's very safe and plants use it quickly. ### How to Add It (Practical Dosing) - **Source**: Pure L-Proline powder (available cheap online—make sure it's the plant-grade L-form, not human supplements). - **Root feed** (with your Cha Ching/MaxiBloom): Start at 0.5–1 g per gallon (about 100–200 ppm). Mix into your res or feed water once a week. pH as normal. - **Foliar spray** (often more effective for quick stress relief): 0.25–0.5 g per gallon + a drop of surfactant. Spray lightly every 5–7 days in the dark period. - **With your current nutes**: Yes, it layers fine—reduce if you see any tip burn. Many run it alongside MaxiBloom + Cha Ching in soft water without issues. - **Best timing**: Now through harvest is perfect, especially if you're noticing stress signs already. **Real talk**: The biggest win will still come from adding a proper CalMag supplement (like Botanicare or General Hydro's) at 0.5–1 ml/gal or whatever your PPM tests call for. Proline + CalMag together is a strong combo for soft water grows. If you're running pure RO/soft, most experienced growers treat this as standard.""👨‍🔬 3/19 10:09PM RF3 X 2 =6 fail? I have TWO 2 gallon pots filled with coco from the last grow. I can plant a NEW BPP RF3 OR!!! I can top the 3 RF3's and make cuttings and grow the cuttings? It worked before!. FAST turnaround time, not much prep just refresh the coco and transplant the tops! 3/19 10:59PM NO WORK FOR NOW.. HIT WITH MASSIVE WAVES OF NAUSEA AND SHARP PAIN, DIZZY, RUPTURED NECK CYST BLEEDING, PAIN FROM MOVING TOO MUCH LAST FEW DAYS, RINIGNG EARS BAD, SKIN PRONE TO MASSIVE INFLAMMATION ATTACKS NOW, WEAKENING GUT LINING,. LUNGS ..GRIP AND BALANCE OFF, SO PERFECTLY NORMAL!!! THANK THE WEED GODS FOR WEED. 3/21 3:30 AM I think I’m gonna top all three of them. I got lucky all three seem to be different ones. I don’t know which is which one of them is really tall. The other one has really tight in her note spacing it’s really good and the other one is also good little bit different so I think I got three different RF three seeds and I think if I do top them I’m gonna put the top in another 2 gallon and then grow that as a cutting usually works I’m not sure👍🌿 3/23 3:08 PM I cut them all in half today a transplanted the top of the tallest one into one that was still growing just to see if it would work. They’re all doing really good.👍 326 237am Remember how your local ss cant prevent or solve a single problem you pay taxes for. unless you're really really sick and the cowards decide that the most important and pressing issue is to raid weed users and farms and seeds...what a country of fuqs

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir, and added my bloom nutes, adjusted my light schedule to 12/12 and defoliated the plants. I adjusted the reservoirs PH to 6.1 My hope is that by flipping this cultivar earlier than my last run, I will not run out of vertical space ;). On day 2 I adjusted my reservoirs PH down to 6.1. On day 3 the clawing is almost completely gone. I adjusted the reservoirs PH down to 6.1. On day 4 the reservoir's PH is at 6.1. I defoliated the plants removing anything blocking lower growth to increase light and air penetration of my mains. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. On day 6 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir up from 6.0 to 6.3. I will let the PH drift between 6.1-6.3. on day 7 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. I lowered the light intensity from 100% to 85% to give the top of my plant canopy an average PPFD of 700-1000. I plan to reduce the intensity as the plants continue to stretch to keep them in the 800-1000 PPFD range. I just got my first quantum par sensor and I'm really loving the new data it gives me to optimize my lighting.

**Semaine 9 : Neuvième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Ripening Avancé (15-21 avril 2026)** **Note :** Mise à jour hebdomadaire. On est maintenant en ripening avancé (semaine 9 sur 12). Les données GrowOps et TrolMaster montrent une descente progressive et maîtrisée. Pas de gros changement visible cette semaine, mais tout évolue dans le bon sens. ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine On poursuit tranquillement la phase **ripening**. L’objectif n’est plus la croissance, mais la maturation finale : densification des buds, développement des trichomes et concentration des terpènes/cannabinoïdes. Steering : **génératif maintenu** (irrigations moins fréquentes, dryback nuit accentué 20-30 %, baisse progressive de tous les paramètres). Changements appliqués : - EC réduit à **1.3** (passage final sur Terra Aquatica seul, sans boosters lourds) - Température, humidité et PPFD maintenus bas pour favoriser la maturation - UV toujours à 90 min/jour pour continuer à booster la résine **Petit tips éducatif : Lecture des trichomes en ripening** À ce stade, on observe trois types de trichomes : - **Translucides** : encore immatures (ils vont blanchir) - **Laiteux / laiteux-opaques** : pic de THC et terpènes (c’est le moment idéal pour beaucoup de cultivateurs) - **Ambrés** : THC qui commence à se dégrader en CBN (effet plus sédatif, mais perte de fraîcheur) Ici, les trichomes sont **principalement laiteux avec encore quelques translucides** → c’est excellent. Cela indique que les buds sont en pleine maturation sans être trop avancés. La semaine prochaine, on surveillera l’évolution vers plus d’ambre pour décider du timing de flush/récolte. Astuce : regarde toujours les buds du haut et du milieu avec une loupe 30-60x, jamais seulement les sugar leaves. ### Observations des Plantes La plante dominante reste stable à **150 cm** avec une structure imposante. Les buds ont **très légèrement gonflé** cette semaine et gagnent en **compacité**. Ils deviennent bien denses, sans excès de foxtailing. **Frosty** : les trichomes sont abondants, les buds et sugar leaves sont très blancs et collants. L’aspect résineux est impressionnant au toucher (très collant). Odeur : **très agréable**, sucrée, épicée et florale, de plus en plus forte quand on touche les buds. Santé générale : parfaite, pas de nouvelles feuilles jaunes, pas de stress, pas de pest. Les plantes sont propres et concentrées sur la finition. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse semaine 9) - **Température jour** : 19-21 °C - **Température nuit** : 14-15 °C (basse pour ripening) - **Humidité jour** : 48-58 % - **Humidité nuit** : 29-39 % - **VPD** : 0.9-1.3 kPa (stable et adapté) - **PPFD** : 550 (DLI ~24) - **UV Light** : 90 min/jour (maintenu) - **Far Red Light** : 30 min en fin de cycle - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour - **EC solution** : **1.3-1.5** mS/cm (passage sur Terra Aquatica seul) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 - **Runoff EC** : 2.5-3 mS/cm - **Irrigation** : moins fréquente (génératif) - **Runoff % daily** : 20-30 % - **Night dryback** : 20-30 % - **Steering** : génératif confirmé ### Nutrition et Irrigation Cette semaine, on est passé à un régime plus simple : **Terra Aquatica seul** à EC 1.3. Plus de boosters lourds (PK, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation, etc.), juste la base pour ne pas surcharger en fin de cycle. Irrigation réduite pour accentuer le dryback nocturne et favoriser la concentration des buds. ### Problèmes et Ajustements **RAS.** Aucun problème, aucune alerte. La descente progressive se fait en douceur et les plantes réagissent bien. L’odeur et la résine compensent largement le gonflement plus modéré. ### Plans pour la Semaine 10 - Continuer à baisser tranquillement EC (vers 1.0), température nuit et humidité - Maintenir UV à 90 min/jour - Surveillance accrue des trichomes (loupe obligatoire) - Préparer le flush (probablement à partir de la fin de semaine 10 ou début 11 selon évolution des têtes) - Photos macro pour suivre le passage laiteux → ambré Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds sont de plus en plus frosty, collants et résineux, avec une odeur vraiment plaisante. Même si le gonflement reste modéré, la qualité trichomale est excellente. On continue la descente en douceur vers la ligne d’arrivée ! 🌱✨

This week was the first feeding I did 1 tbsp of 444, 1/4 tsp of molasses, 1 tsp fish and seaweed extract, then 1/4 tsp Epsom salt . One if my plants is still looking rough but I’m trying to learn how to grow so having one sick plant can help with learning how to fix specific issues in the future. Thank you for checking out my grow more to come in the future :)
