Die Woche lief sehr gut, alle Pflanzen haben gute Fortschritte gemacht und sehen meiner Meinung nach auch gesund aus 😄 das Wachstum der beiden Z-ups ist nahezu identisch und wenn ich sie mit anderen diaries vergleiche, dann finde ich das Fastbuds mal wieder einen sehr soliden Strain rausgebracht hat. Von den Mandarin Panties gibt es wenig bildliche Dokumentationen, was einen Vergleich schwer zulässt, aber ich finde den Wuchs ganz schön. Mal sehen wann die Ladies in die Blüte kommen, ich gehe ja davon aus das sie diese Woche in die Transition gehen

29.08 Defoliated yesterday. They keep drinking more. Added undercanopy lighting to see the difference. Next time from the beginning.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of veg. Well... I got this one repotted and got it out to the greenhouse. It's looking happy. It's got it's leaves turned towards to the sun now. Doing OK. It was 31*c in here yesterday... but it's cloudy today. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

This week just flush her with 8 litre ph water and I will harvest her next week some point Update today day 100 and she is thirsty as hell will flush her again tomorrow then will go for 48 hour darkness Update today day 103 and I find my jewellery microscope but still can't see any Amber trichomes so I leave her and will check on her everyday Update today day 105 and I decide to chop her down I let her 12 hour darkness then chop off will update later

Very easy plant to harvest, didn't have too much leaves, so very easy to take out fan leaves and prepare to dry.

04.06.25 BT#35 Servus liebe Growmie's Die Caramba macht sich wirklich gut, Sie ist jetzt in der Massephase angekommen. Ab heute gibt es Phosphor Plus von Hesi mit dabei habe ihr eine Dosis von 1,5ml/L verabreicht. Den kann ich jetzt bedenkenlos jede Woche um 0,5ml/L steigern. Hesi Blüh Complex in der Dosierung 4ml/L & Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Zu guter Schluss noch ein Tropfen Hesi SuperVit auf 2,5L Wasser. Nach der zugabe von allen Nährstoffen habe ich einen PH von 6,4. Jetzt werden wir sehen was in der Caramba steckt.Die Tricome Produktion gefällt mir sehr,aber schauen wir einfach noch ein bisschen. Die Lady wird sich schon von der besten Seite zeigen. Danke jeden für den Stop bleibt Sauber and Stay High bis zur nächsten Woche. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 🤜🏻🤛🏻 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 04.06.25 BT#35 Hello dear Growmie's Caramba is doing really well, she has now entered the mass phase. Starting today, I added Phosphor Plus from Hesi, giving her a dose of 1.5ml/L. I can now safely increase this by 0.5ml/L every week. Hesi Bloom Complex at a dosage of 4ml/L & Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Finally, a drop of Hesi SuperVit in 2.5L of water. After adding all the nutrients, I have a pH of 6.4. Now we'll see what Caramba has to offer. I really like the trichome production, but let's wait and see. The lady will show herself from her best side. Thanks everyone for stopping by, stay clean and stay high until next week. May all your ladies grow healthy and magnificent and provide you with tasty stuff 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Wow she doubled her height this week. Grew 9cm! Got loads bushier too. She was repotted too into her 10 litre fabric pot forever home.

Good week, seeing alot of growth sites but they are all still short af. IM not sure if i should worry how short these girls are or not since they seem healthy??? They look healthy and seem to be liking what I been doin. Watering 1.5 liters per plant every 3rd day at 6.5 ph. IM still torn about transplanting to a 5gal a week before flower or just keep amending my soil with top dressing, I am open to opinions and or thought from anyone reading this on tips, what you would do or recommend

First full week of flowering and they are finally on

😎😎😎

Hello growers day 59 in the garden with crystal meth what can I say the buds on her ain’t massive but they are pure purple smells so sweet I’m going to start flushing for the next week or two and we will see how it goes until next week be sure and happy grow and happy 420 to all the growers ✌️

Boom another 1 in the bag smoke report and weigh in will. Follow

The heat is really intense these days as I've noticed her leaves are curling up…she was transferred to the 5-gallon pot 2 days ago.

We are at the start of week 4, day 23 from seed. All I can say is HOLY CRAP these girls are growing and thriving. Installed a new automated watering system yesterday. Built from a pond pump, swing pipe, a few T’s, shut off valves to control flow, and end caps. Ziptied it to the fabric pots for the right coverage. I think this is the final thing I need to do. Also swapped out the 3, 200w lights for a single sf4000 (450w) for even coverage as the multiple lights left hot spots. I plan to utilize the vs2000 (200W) light closer to flower for max yield. On a side note, I have followed basementganjas videos on YouTube for the nutrient mix on his “How I grow 41” and defoliated using his videos “How I grow 33.” For now all 4 of my plants seem to be bigger at this stage than all of his videos I’ve seen from him.

I'm still waiting to see less clear trichomes on the buds, carefully allowing the pot to dry before watering, and feeding just bembe and big bloom this week. I found my last pineapple kush harvest bland, hence the continued feeding after flush. This is the third week since flush.

Here we are guys in the middle of week 4 for some and week 3 for the rest!! Alot of them are going into pre flowering. All 12 confirmed females:) amazing rapid growth they are loving these autocobs:). All smiles everyday gg4 and tangie are stretching so amazing. Lights 24/7 in less then two weeks they will all being going into a 4x8 !

So first week of flower or pre flower maybe?? But whatever it is they are now outside and getting direct sunlight from about 10am to 4pm and loving it. They started off this week looking a little yellow on the new growth but by Wednesday all the leaves are nice and green. Got the day off tomorrow so think I'll do a light defol and have another look at the lst wires. The mother of this clone is about a week away from harvest (my first ever harvest!!) And she smells great, everytime I walk outside. Looking forward to a comparison, my first soil harvest and my first hempy 1 after another. So I just got 2 feeds in this week, had some rain which kept the coco moist for longer so now we wait. Thanks for stopping in 👍

Day 49 - Still have issues...3BOG is still yellowing on most leaves, 4AM is still showing slowly developing Mg deficiency, and Sour Stompers are still losing leaves but it seems to have slowed. I think the Sour Stompers might only have 2-3 weeks left so I'll start the flush soon and hope for the best. Fed 4AM & 3BOG 2tsp/gal Tiger Bloom mixed in 1.5 gallons water. pH: 6.5 Day 50 - Watered Sour Stompers with 1.5 gallons worm tea Day 53 - Leaf issues seem to have finally stopped on the 3BOG and slowed on the 4AM. Sour Stomper 1 looking really bad but I think I finally understand the multitude of issues I've created so hopefully I get them to recover enough to make it to harvest. Day 54 - Watered 3BOG & 4AM 1.5 gallons at 6.7 pH Day 55 - Looks like it's about time to start flushing the Sour Stompers. Watered them .75 gallons each at 6.7 pH

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

day 71 she is putting on weight even with all the burned leaves I believe Jeff123fish is right about the soil being toxic - the run off had about 1000ppms but the pH was good and I think the light distance was a little close and just accelerated the already damaged leaves. I flushed and raised the lights some. She smells like skittles and I think she will pull thru just fine.
