Week 5! She's stretching wild. We tried supercropping but she bounced right back up. Then we tried supercropping and holding her down with a trellis net, but she bounced up again. In any case, she really wants to grow and we're currently counting about 12 branches with decent light exposure and bud sites - and about 20 budsites in total. We're keeping all bud sites - even the minor ones - and defoliation is only performed on those leaves that cannot be tucked away. Light cycle is 18/6 and PPFD varies between 450 - 1100. The growing light had to be raised twice this week. While the PLAGRON directions suggest adding Green Sensation starting in week 4 of bloom, we're ignoring those instructions and we'll add it right away. Reason being that those instructions probably reference photo periods. As for the nutritional density, she's holding up quite well so we're providing a higher dose than suggested until she starts showing signs of deficiency (nutrient lockout). Furthermore, the recommended PLAGRON feeding schedule does not specifically mention Power Buds, but their additional information mentioned it to be complimentary and compatible with Green Sensation.

Day 30: Hello everyone, everything proceeds as expected, but two plants are slightly behind the other six that already show an advanced flowering. On the thirtieth day from germination the plants are 50 to 70 cm tall. As you can see in the last video now that most of the plants are in advanced bloom I have reduced the oscillation of the lamp. Day 33: In a few days some plants have reached one meter in height, for this reason I moved them trying to create a new SOG. I have also increased the space between the plants in order to give more light to the secondary tops. Oscillation of the lamp further reduced. Water now 10 liters per day for all 12 pots (8 gorillas, 2 advanced cheese and 2 baby cheese). The scent is stronger now, especially when the lamp is turned off. Day 33: I was around and bought in store 5 Seeds Royal Gorilla Auto and 5 seeds Royal Amnesia Auto to prepare the next cycles and they gave me 2 seeds LSA Lemon Haze Auto. The last seed of Royal Cheese has not germinated and I decided to put a seed of this LSA Lemon Haze on the ground. I don't know the LSA seed bank and if someone has cultivated this strain I would like information about it. Day 35: All plants have reached or exceeded one meter in height, so I removed all the supports under the pots and moved all the plants. The flowering is now advanced in the first 6 plants, the two remaining Gorillas and the two large Cheese have now started the flowering phase. Lastly, I removed all the underdeveloped branches and some leaves. The last germinate, the LSA Lemon Haze Auto, is added to my cultivation.

The third week is almost over and the ladies are looking way better than last week. They completely recovered from the grub incident and are growing faster and faster. It seems like I really missed the FIM -.- I just haven't removed enough from the main trunk and it is just growing as if nothing had happened. Only the leaves are looking quite messy. But, no problem, it was our first time and we just try it again. Hopefully I didn't remove too much this time. The light intensity was increased from 50% to 75%. I water them every other day, adding some root juice and Acti-Vera. Soon, I'm going to FIM/TOP the rest of the plants in preparation for LST and SCROG. Stay tuned.

Gas tax x obama runtz I still have 2 of these plants going. One kf them is strong and rooting well the other is the smallest plant in the tent. It's leaves have nit grown in size much the past week. I'm thinking it's roots are tied up weird or it's just a weak plant. If I did not have a thing for even numbers I'd prob toss the 2nd plant but who wants 9 plants when you have 10 This past week all the plants did great dealing with getting repotted and topped in the same week. I definitely took a Rick doing that seeing i only left each plant with 4 leaves. This past week was also a struggle to keep the vpd in a decent range. The Temps outside have been below 32 for a few days with Temps dipping down to almost 0 at night. With the space heater running it's pulling the humidity down. I think I have figured out the solution to that problem so I won't run into that next time it gets cold again. All the plants have really started to grow their new branches sense being topped. A few of the plants are a little smaller than I'd like but I'm gonna keep em alive for now.

This week I finished the last clones, hoping to see some great phenotypes. I plan to keep the best ones, make a selection, and keep the best ones, then plant more to select the best and discard the rest. Next week, for flowering, I've raised my light to its maximum height (I don't use a filter inside the grow tent; I have the whole room under one filter) and to 50% power to give them a little extra boost these last few weeks and improve their growth. I love having the information on my phone to know what's happening with my babies at all times.

Great strain, germinated after 24h in a glass water and came out of the cocosproutpad after like one day and a half later, started a bit slow because of overwatering (extreme heatwave here) but managed to recover very well. A nice fast growing plant in vegative stage with lots of big fanleaves and a pretty bushy under area. Transferred to flowering really fast and then had a little bit of stunt in growth, I expected her bigger but this has a lot to do with my growing conditions and overall temperature and air. Buds kick in really nice and start showing frost early and thickening buds around week 4 of 5. She can handle nutrients like a boss. Not one single sign of nutrientburn throughout the entire grow. The final 4 weeks were pretty tough to keep her happy since I had a lack of light, no good airflow and lots of rain. Also bugs and some budrot but I can't blame the plant for that. She fought her way through it and delivered nice buds. Not too compact but it's an outdoor grow. After 10weeks of flowering she looked done for me. I will grow her again next year and do better. Learned a lot on my first Growdiary experience 😊 Will update with smokereport and total weight/outcome after curing. Many thanks to everyone who has been reading, following and mostly gave comments and answers. U guys and girls rock. See u next grow or in the commentsection of ur grow😉👊 Adios

Day 44 – Steady March into Flowering The journey continues! Although the weather remains inconsistent — with chilly mornings, bursts of afternoon sun, and cold nights — this lady refuses to be held back. She’s thriving confidently in her super soil blend, nourished solely with pH-balanced tap water, and showing no signs of slowing down. Her foliage has become lush and expansive, acting like solar panels eagerly soaking in every bit of light they can capture between the clouds. New growth is vigorous, and the pre-flowering signs are now clearly taking shape, promising a smooth transition into full bloom. The top node is beginning to stack, and those early pistils are spreading — a sure sign she’s enjoying her environment. Although nighttime temperatures have dipped, she’s been strong enough to remain outdoors under the open sky. To protect her from the sneaky slug patrol, I’ve elevated her above ground level — a small tactic, but one that keeps her canopy untouched and flourishing. There’s something uniquely rewarding about this outdoor grow — it’s low-cost, hands-on, and deeply satisfying. While indoor tents offer more control, nothing beats adapting to nature’s rhythm and still achieving such healthy development. Much credit goes to FastBuds.com for the genetics. This girl is showing impressive resilience, structure, and poise — exactly what you want in a CBD-dominant auto. Can’t wait to transform this harvest into some rich, therapeutic CBD oil. One step closer each day! Day 46 – Thriving Naturally Under Open Skies This lady continues to prove that sometimes, less is truly more. I’ve kept things as simple and natural as possible — no synthetic nutrients, no grow tents, no artificial stimulation. Just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a super soil blend I mixed myself months ago. The result? A strong, healthy, and surprisingly resilient plant that now towers confidently at over 60 cm and is embracing her flowering phase with grace. Yesterday brought a refreshing rainfall — and while some might worry about outdoor exposure, this girl clearly enjoyed every drop. Her leaves were glistening with energy this morning as the sun returned, and the vibrant growth is undeniable. It’s moments like these that remind me why I chose an outdoor grow: nature takes care of its own when we provide the right foundation. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to keep her outside right through to harvest. With the summer sun still ahead, she’s got the best part of the season to stretch, stack, and swell those buds. Massive appreciation to FastBuds.com — the genetics are absolutely spot on for a low-maintenance grower like myself. Reliable, vigorous, and beautiful to watch evolve. No gimmicks. No stress. Just sun, soil, and the will to grow. Day 49 – Battle-Tested by Nature, Still Standing Tall What a wild few days it’s been! Heavy rain and strong winds put my lady through her first proper trial. At one point she even took a tumble from her pedestal and bent slightly under the pressure. But if there’s one thing that’s become crystal clear — Fast Buds genetics are made of iron. 💪 Despite the rough weather, she’s bounced back beautifully. Today the skies have cleared, and the sunshine has returned — and so has her posture. Her leaves are once again reaching outward with confidence, showing no signs of stress or damage. It’s moments like these that make outdoor cultivation so rewarding. There’s no hiding from the elements out here — it’s all about adaptability, resilience, and harmony with nature. My growing technique remains deliberately minimalistic: no artificial feeds, no grow tents, no special shelters — just pure rain, sunlight, and my homemade super soil blend. The goal is to let nature take the lead, and so far, she’s doing a brilliant job. If you’re thinking of trying an outdoor grow and want something straightforward yet satisfying, I can’t recommend FastBuds.com genetics enough. They’ve created a line that genuinely thrives even under less-than-ideal conditions. We’ve now passed the 7-week mark, and I’m more convinced than ever that this grow will finish strong, under open skies — just the way I envisioned. 🌿☀️

Another steady week of bud development. I haven't really done much with those apart from the occasional removal of yellow leaves and tucking nuisance leaves under the net. The plants are all still growing in line with the previous expectations, with Topping and LST being the biggest, Mainlined next and then LST only in last place. It will be interesting to see the results though. Should only be a few more weeks until harvest, as a large majority of trichomes are already milky.

Purple Punch and Frosty Gelato will be harvested next week. Very hot in the tent and also it is not in my house. Summer time. Hard to look after them this way it can be seen. No problem. Next time. Still love them :) A.lot of burnt leaves removed from them every week because of heat. I can not change now I need to go this way. Starnge: Wedding Cheescake is crazy other plants are suffering because of the environmental issues she is acting like this is the best environment. Leaves hardly burn and she grows as fuck. All of them in the same environment.... Hmm.

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana non ho applicato stress alle piccole, ma ho guardato l'evoluzione che hanno avuto dando i nutrienti. Ora hanno un odore davvero intenso ed uno strato di resina pauroso, vediamo come si riprendono dalla defogliazione che ho fatto settimana scorsa. Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

Dec 9: They are looking pretty good as far as I can tell, having trouble debating to cut off some fan leaves or not, this is my first ever grow and I don’t want to stress it out any more than it has. The way I trained the plant is definitely suboptimal, next time I will plant the seed off to the side a bit to have room to bend. Also should I just continue with tucking almost everyday or cut the troublesome leaves covering bud sites? And the bottom node, should I skip the chutes? Is it okay to cut things off at this stage of its life? They are definitely still in preflower as there are only presence of the “V” hairs at each budsite, and smell is very weak.

Yellowing of WW#2 is worrying me, looks to be a nutrient issue maybe? I raised the light above WW#2 by 4 inches in case its light burn as well. Other than that and the nute burn on The other plants things seem well. End of week update: things are looking great, I think whatever happened to WW2 is reducing its ability to form buds? Not sure. It’s looking okay, hoping they’re going to fill out well! Definitely need to grow the widow XXL again, it’s a shame I had another plant fall on WW2 and damage it, likely contributes to the yellowing and such. WW1 still has no amber trichomes, waiting for this entire week to end before I even think about harvesting. I am eager to harvest so I can get more light to lower buds on the other plants. I had to tie up 1/3 NL2 main colas. It was so heavy it was beginning to split the bottom stalk, there was no damage really just maybe 1/20th of the stalk was peeling from the weight. I tied him up to the light and everything seems well. I figured I wouldn’t run into that problem, but don’t underestimate how much weight buds can pack on!

Light smell still nothing big . Leafes are going crisp on the upper part . They’re pretty much done and i will take some off in the next days .middle part still looks ok so I think about taking the upper buds off bit earlier and let the rest develope a bit more but let’s see how motivated iam in the next days . She’s still going strong even with the calmag issue .buds still develope nicely and I turned her like halfway so she gets some more light on the buds that didn’t got so much in the first weeks . Let’s see what the next days bring. Trichomes getting milky but still some clear to see as well . Will check again next week
