7/29 - Week 9 of veg is starting. At this point, it is just let them grow up a few inches, and also fill out the pots some more with roots before transplanting to 5 gallon fabric pots (their final homes). I also plan on mixing a 'flower blend' soil to fill up the 5g pot around the rootball that is transplanted. This recipe for the soil is taken from MaximumYield: Enhanced fruit/flower potting soil recipe This soil recipe is designed for plants that are ready to fruit or flower. In particular, this recipe works great for ornamentals that are already in bloom and for fast-growing annuals that are entering their fruiting or flowering stage. Parenthesis indicate small changes or products I'm using. 1/2 cu. ft. (60 cups) sphagnum peat moss (Promix BX) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) coco coir (Mother Earth Coco Peat) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) compost (either compost or manure) 1/4 cu. ft. (30 cups) perlite 10 cups pumice (likely to just use perlite here) 5 cups worm castings 3 cups bat guano (high phosphorus) 1 cup fish bone meal (using regular bone meal, got Jobe's Bone Meal) 1 cup oyster shell 1/2 cup seabird guano (likely to just add as the high phosporous guano) 1/4 cup alfalfa meal 1/4 cup fish meal (Down to Earth Fish Meal) 2 tbsp. langbeinite (Down to Earth Langeinite) 1 tbsp. glacier rock dust (Azomite ordered from Amazon) 7/30 - While technically the morning of 7/31, lights haven't gone out yet, so it is still the 30th ;) It almost hurts posting pictures today, because they were really thirsty, but I honestly hadn't looked at them for a couple days. Anywho, the plants were watered with ~1.25 liters of water each, about 90 minutes before lights out. Will be interesting to post the 7/31 photos after a couple hours of lights on, and see the difference in appearance. I also mixed the soil for flowering, and it will now have a couple weeks to 'cook' and become ready for the plants. I did make a mistake and accidentally added 1 cup of fish meal instead of 1/4 cup (oops), and the alfalfa meal just smelled too good, so I added 1/2 cup instead of 1/4. Hopefully those 2 'changes' don't add too much nitrogen for flower, but I imagine it won't. I also instead of adding perlite (didn't want to buy a 4 cu ft bag when I needed at most 2.5 gallons (1/3 cu ft), so I opted to add 1 gallon of pumice. Since the coco peat and promix both have perlite in them, I didn't want too much added. There were also some worms from the compost that made it into the tote that is now storing the mix, so life has already started in the soil. 7/31 - It wasn't just after lights on, as I didn't have time to photo earlier, but this is just about 24 hours after watering, and praying/looking good. I had noticed that it looked like the fan had slipped down the pole a bit, and was causing some wind burn/clawing of the leaves yesterday, which probably attributed to poor looks, but looking better today! While I am not that versed in checking preflowers, from what I can tell, if I had to guess, CH#1 could be either (maybe slightly leaning towards female, thought I might have saw a couple hairs), and the #2 actually looked male to me. 8/4 - After getting home from work, and realizing I hadn't checked on the plants in a couple days and I knew they were due for water either yesterday or today, I saw some THIRSTY plants. They each got ~1.2L of water, and also a quick trim back. After checking preflowers again, I am afraid that both Chinook plants may end up male :(

Auto banana kush has been growing well under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. She got a solution change a few days ago. I been keeping up on the lst, and selective defoliation. I clipped the tips of her roots to promote a more dense root growth. She looks like she will go to flowering very soon.

Fed on Day 39 Up’d the nutes a bit. Added some Superthrive. Also added (2)3 gallon strains I have from another grow and additional lighting 250w in the tent. Day 44: Watered with PH’d 6.1 water and a couple pinches of epsom salt. Both of their ppm’s were a bit high on the R/O around 1700. I assume this is from the feeding earlier in the week. (I need to start taking better notes) I brought it down considerably to around 900 ppm with a couple gallons of mild flushes. **Personal note** I read alot and I mean ALOT of forums and questions from here as I grow. I’m using a combination of techniques I feel are beneficial and learning do’s and do nots as I go. That being said Please feel free to comment, advice is ALWAYS welcomed! Grow on.

Hi growers 👌🏻🍁 This week I’ve had a few slight more issues this run hasn’t been the best so far. But I’m hoping if I can just up my feed as each watering I’m feeding the ppm are only at 450ppm 1ml grow 3ml bloom 2ml top max 4ml heaven 4ml actavira In a 5litre bottle - every 3 days I’ve had a few herm on me - which has been a bit of a disappointing, it just tells me my rooms not dialled in at all. Few more issues to fix next run. All the pink runts autos that finished flowering dried for 1 half weeks then went into canna butter. If anyone can give me a message or comment of anything I can do to try fix these girls I would appreciate it ✌️🏻🍁

This plant is great easy to grow and the buds are covered in crystals. Another week and no issue and the ladie is getting fat and frosty. Looking forward to smoke this green monster

Hola 🐴 This diary must be doomed 🤣 Auto kabul seems not to flower properly under 24h of light at day 60 . I think its not auto. More likely "early". Overgrowed closet so it's time to move on and give stage to next warrior. Hopefully Auto Kabul is now growing in greener fields 🙏 With lot of hope and trust for next try 🤣 Lets go KANNABIA 🤝

Hi Grow Diaries Fam, It' s the last week for those girls. It was a pleasure to grow her. Day 65 : It smells extremely strong. The neighbors are going to ask ❓❓ ❓. I think I'll have to cut earlier than expected.🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼 Day 67 : Harvest Day 😁😁😁😁 See you later for the taste test. Peace to all ✌️🏻✌️🏼✌️🏿✌️🏾✌️✌️🏽

Unos cogollos brutales ! Tienen muchísima resina … los olores son de frutas y con el toque Cali que la destaca ! En general chicos es una cepa que si tuviera que repetir no lo dudaría ni un segundo por su fácil cultivo y sus grandes cogollos 17g en seco en maceta d 3l

Defoliated on day 19 and 20. One of the Blueberry Cherry had a bunch of nanas on the lowers only, but it's not a full herms. So I left it to monitor. Only one or 2 on some others but on the lowers. The scent is lacking tbh but let's see how it progresses. Switched back to top dress organics and water in brix and aminos.

This girl it is a very resilient client has only received mistreating him from me I have them all tied up like a bouquet of flowers came in then no space to breathe and no place to move because it has such an incredible stretch and growth that it was taking over the light of the entire tent despite being a back up plant that I put in the same planter with another string that I thought I was going to lose her this one is very strong and I have not allow her to develop properly so it is very Bushy plant I am not sure if it’s me or is the strain of plant nevertheless it has a very vigourous growth thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Trying some new nutes now and compared to the mother plant I think I notice a difference lol. She's getting frosty and showing off some nice colors.

Day 30 toady, i switched to 12/12 3 days ago e the babies are already stretching hard and some are showing preflowers i'm pretty happy i'm watering with no nutrients as i'm using Canna Pro Plus soil and it should have enough nutrients for the first 3/4 weeks of flower. I cleaned the bottom of the plants from lowers branches and leaves and i will continua till day 14 of flower and i fixed it with a bamboo stick i got gifted from @AlpineGoat i will fix the other branches in the next weeks i'm pretty stocked with this grow this genetics are really solid growing strong and fast! Good job @Exotic_Seed!!🙌👍

Report on week 3 of veg: I lower the RH to 50-55% while the RM stays relatively on the higher range: 27-29C daytime and 18-22 at night. I had nice visual on the 6th node of BB3, Larry Bird and Gelato plants and few cm. to avoid any eventual stem splitting, so i topped them. I guess the Gorilla will be ready for topping by tomorrow. Unfortunately i have to work with hard water so i have to keep constant eye on the water's EC. For this reason and from personal experience i wont increase the nutrients dosage any time before flowering. The high percentage of worm castings is doing wonders and help me a lot with the substrate's maintance. I did some runoff water measurements and end up with the following values: Gorilla had 2.75EC and 6.5pH, Gelato got 2.70/6.6, Larry 2.85/6.7 and BB 2.20/6.9. Substrate pH is 7.0. Once again, I have to say that Sunmaster's Dual Spectrum HPS are indeed super powerful lamps. I added another clip-fan to ensure a nice breeze around the plants. I will follow the general rule of thumb and give the plants 10-14 days to recover from the HST. Once i week i spray the plants with foliar iron-based nutrient solution👊 (Plagron Vita Race). It boosts the photosynthesis, plus it washes and cleans the leaves. P.s. only the Larry Bird is topped on the pictures. I topped other two today, but i didnt want to switch-off the lights in order to take pictures. Peace!

All plants are down! I am stoked with how the grow went and this strain has performed well. Terps are out of this world - candy - jelly babies, sour worms, Fanta grape and bubblegum stinking up the room. Some pheno's are more forsty then others but it seems we have found a couple keepers to re-test. Next post will be nug shots, weight once all dry. We will also do full cannabinoid testing to determine the potency of some of the phenos which we think are worth testing. Look out for that! It will be the final entry on this log :) Happy growing fam

Day 50 – Officially Entering Bloom 🌸 We’ve crossed a beautiful milestone—flowering has officially begun! The pre-flowers are stacking up with intent, and the entire structure is shifting focus to its reproductive mission. It’s a joy to witness the transition as the energy starts moving into the upper canopy. This FastBuds CBD strain is showing phenomenal resilience and grace despite the unpredictable UK weather. Over the past few days, the plant faced intense rain and strong wind gusts, which even knocked it off its perch. But just like a warrior, she got back up—no broken limbs, no complaints, just a stronger stem and a deeper green. I’ve now placed the pot inside a larger container to stabilise it and protect against slug patrols during cold, damp nights. A simple hack, but one that offers big peace of mind! This grow is intentionally minimalistic. No tents, no synthetic boosters, no artificial support—just super soil, pH-balanced tap water, natural sun, and trust in the process. Every drop of rain and every beam of sunlight becomes part of the story. It’s an outdoor symphony powered by patience and the pure intent to create top-quality CBD oil—without the psychoactive effects, but with all the healing potential. She’s now standing tall at approximately 70 cm, stretching with elegant confidence and building a promising framework of bud sites. There’s something incredibly humbling about letting nature lead. And with a strain like this from FastBuds.com, it’s a rewarding partnership between growers and genetics. More to come, but for now—we bloom.

I'm seeing some definitely fast bud growth this week. Outdoors is keeping right up with indoors. However I didnt put it in the most rich soil and had to top dress with some roots bloom booster and papa's perfect poop. Indoors we have zero issues. The pheno is just killing it! Stinky too. Smelling like chocolate and coffee. She is the darkest in the tent. Easily. Indoors is the untrained pheno and there is a couple dominant colas. Like pine cones. Outdoors I trained this one, and she has golf ball nugs everywhere
