Been doing a lot of tweaking with the new gear and multiple sets of plants. Been quite a busy week and probably behind a bit on keeping track of everything. I'm currently working on trying to get better charts made to keep track of things like light schedules, detailed feedings, height change per day, etc.
My current setup is my oldest 1st set of plants (5plants) and my 3rd set (6 seedlings), in my new 4x4 Vivosun grow tent equipped with a Spider Farmer SF-1000.
I have kept my 2nd set of plants (4plants) in my original 4x2 Vivosun equipped with 600W Vivosun LED. These plants had been extremely stressed due to not having soil or containers available with shipping constraints. They've been doing a lot better since then and I'm hoping they make a full recovery. Fingers crossed!
Running 24hr light schedule.
Both tents equipped with temp/hygro high and low ranging from about 71-81°F with an average of about 78°F.
Watering by plant pot weight, according to GH FloraTrio + CalMag Schedule.
Mild LST via tucking of leaves blocking developing sites. No more than 3 leaves removed per plant, per day to avoid stress.

4/29/20 - Update
Okeydoke! Feel like I've been doing too much running around everywhere. Sorry for being so hectic the past week or so if anyone has been keeping up with this 😂
For the time being, I'm currently running all three sets of my plants in my 4x4 tent. It's running all three of my fans, both lights and has the carbon filter system and humidifier hooked up to it as well. I basically have the other 4x2 just sitting as a shell for the moment. Either planning to save it for climate control when curing the first harvest or sell it to invest in another Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED or equivalent and possibly another 4x4 tent.
I have started a grow chart that's still a little sketchy but if nothing else having it here hells me keep up with it that much better.

The most current batch of nutrient mixes for was made this morning about (2am 4/29/20) for the 1st and second set of plants.
The first set of plant's nutrients was made to 4gal of water. The mix is a ratio of
(Cal-Mag/GHMicro/GHGro/GHBloom)
It's mixed (for the 4gal) in order; 10mL, 5mL, 10mL, 10mL.
440ppm @ 98.5°F
890EC @ 2.2°F us/cm
This new nutrient mix was applied for the first time tonight and will run about a week. I'm running a bit behind according to the GH schedule I was following due to stunting the growth I felt like over a couple issues to where I have them an extra week of veg nutrients. As I have defoliated them and they have seemed to take it pretty well, I'm hoping the increase in bloom nutrients will kick the buds into overdrive for production and the plants will start to thicken up again.
The second mix follows the same order as the first set in regards to nutrient usage. This mix is only mixed to one gallon. It as follows; 2.5mL, 2.5mL, 1.25mL, 2.5mL.
500ppm @ 98.6°F
992EC @ 0.4°F us/cm
This is mostly following the same GH nutrient schedule as the first set only about 2 weeks behind. These plants suffered from being in too small of containers for too long and I believe this stunted their growth. I've had them in suitable new containers for a couple days now and hoping this new mix of increased nutrients will bring them back to life a bit and get them back in schedule.
I'm honestly not too sure still about the ppm and EC numbers but a few bud-dies have mentioned that it plays important roles in plant health. So until I can better research good numbers and how to control it for my set up, I'm at the very least trying to keep track of the data.
I apologise about this large chunk of text! I hope you enjoy the diary anyway in spite of the fact. I'm loving the look of the buds and everything seems to be going great. Only a few months to go! 😎

Hello again!
Into week 7+ ladies were very bushy so I decided to dive in and clear out the lower canopy and removed old leaves. As usual watering every 4-5 days and I have increased the amount of water to about 8L to each pot. They are drying out faster day by day. Still using 50mL of molassas to 5gal of water pH to 5.9 this time.
No issues to report.
See you on the next update!

Week 1 Report: The White OG - Solo Survivor’s Journey
Survivor Status: One Seedling Standing Strong 🌱
Our girl The White OG is standing tall and doing her thing! While some seeds may take their time or not make the cut, this resilient little seedling is already setting the tone. With close to 100% relative humidity (RH) under the dome, she’s got the ideal environment to kickstart her roots and early growth.
Environment: Humidity Dome Life
• RH: Close to 100%, creating that tropical atmosphere where seedlings thrive. Humidity at this level helps keep her cells hydrated, and with a dome, moisture is consistently recirculated. This prevents her from drying out and promotes steady root and leaf development.
• Lighting: For now, we’re keeping the intensity low. At this young stage, seedlings benefit from indirect, gentle light, just enough to encourage photosynthesis without causing stress. Future of Grow LED on a dim setting (200 PPFD) does the job, providing the perfect balance for early growth.
Water & Nutrition: Keeping It Simple
No heavy nutrients this week; she’s working off the stored energy in her seed. The aim is to keep the soil or Root Riot cube slightly moist but not soaked. Overwatering can drown young roots, so light misting is all she needs to stay comfortable and growing strong.
Growth Observations: Slow but Steady Wins the Race
Our solo survivor might be growing at her own pace, but that’s exactly what we want! At this early stage, less is more, and slow growth often indicates a strong foundation. We’re looking for stable, healthy roots and tight early nodes as she finds her rhythm.
Grower’s Tips for Week 1
1. Humidity Control: Keep RH high but watch for condensation build-up. Too much moisture can invite mold, so allow some airflow if needed.
2. Stay Light on Water: Just enough misting to keep the medium damp.
3. Patience Is Key: Each plant has its own pace; giving her time to establish now sets her up for a strong journey.
Next Steps
As we move into Week 2, I’ll be keeping an eye out for early leaves (cotyledons) opening up, as well as steady, even growth. Soon we’ll gradually adjust light intensity and start thinking about nutrients.
Shoutouts to the Community!
Big thanks to Seedsman for the genetics , to Future of Grow for top-notch lighting, Aptus Holland for the reliable nutrients, Trolmaster for total control and everyone in the growers’ community cheering on this solo survivor. 🌱💪

day 90 - I think I must br super-close to harvest, but newbie first grow nerves have set in, and so will ask the community (again) if the time is right to harvest. The white pistils have started to turn brown, but I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right thing, as I'm not sure that pistils are the same things as trichomes, so not even sure I'm looking at the right thing under the loupe.
haven't done this weeks feed yet.
Also, ph has dropped quite dramtically to 5.23, so want to get on top of that if it's not yet harvest day. ppm has also halved since the beginning of the week, so not sure if thats a good or bad thing.

I caught one of bugs and I guess it's a fungus gnat.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Day 30:
Fungus Gnats Update: there were no more adult one and plants are looking better.
CCA1,CCA2,CCB1 had their Nutrient feed in big pot after transplanting stress with 6.3 PH and 1.2 EC.
CCA1 had 2L Nutrients mixed with water with 100 ml Run off (7.3PH and 7.5EC).
CCA2 had 2L Nutrients mixed with water with 100 ml Run off (7.8PH and 6.4EC).
CCB1 had 2L Nutrients mixed with water with 250 ml Run off (7.6PH and 5.9EC).
CCB2 had a dry day
CCC1 had dry day so fungus gnats wont attack this pretty lady.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Day 31
All the plants were fed with Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra foliar feeding.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Day 32:
Fungus Gnats Update: I made Cinnamon mixed with hot water, after 24 h this mixture been sprayed everywhere.
CCA1 and CCA2 had a dry and normal day.
CCB1 Had some defoliation
CCB2 and CCC1 had their Nutrient feed (6.3PH and 1.7EC)
CCB2 had only 1L
CCC1 had 2.5 L Nutrients mixed with water with 150 ml Run off (8.0PH and 7.3EC).
CCC1 had her last veg fed and she had more LST and Defoliation.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Day 33:
it was a dry day for all the ladies.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Day 34:
Dry tea had been mixed with top of the soil in pot.

CCC1 And CCB2 Had dry day
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Day 35: Last day of Veg weeks
Fungus Gnats Update: there is one or two not more. i think i am close to defeat them.
It was a dry day for CCA1,CCA2,CCB1 but some LST were performed on them.
CCB1 had 1L of water with 6.1PH and 0.4 EC.
CCC1 had more defoliation and LST. we wont perform any training on her for next week so she can get a full recovery with good flowering nutrients.
CCC1 had 3.5L of water(6.1PH and 0.4 EC) with a 500ml Run off(9.3PH and 6.1 EC).
I gave her more water so she can give more run off before starting flowering nutrients on her.
It is last day of using 400w HID.

I started with three Blackberry Moon Rock seeds, and two of them sprouted – awesome! These girls are loving life, reaching for the sky as the tallest plants in my tent. They're already about six inches tall, and they're taking up all the nutrients very well without any nute burn.
Both blackberry moonrocks plants are very similar height although they have very different looks to them. The one of the 2 definitely going ti strech alot more than the other. One has internodes about 1 cm apart rn and the other is about 3/4 to 1 inch between nodes.
Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing.
A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent.
Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up
I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

Hasn't done much vertical growth, seems to be more horizontal growth now.
I topped and defoliated every plant. I'm trying to form them into canna-bushes. Hopefully I'm doing the correct training procedures to make them all grow that way both indoors and out.

Fungus gnats were in full effect here due to the Down-to-Earth potting mix. That stuff doesn't drain worth a damn!
I had just sprayed the plants with neem oil and soap in this video... and needless to say that didn't turn out well (more to follow)
In other news, the French Macaron roots were growing like crazy at this point.

Ztrawberriez has sprouted, and is getting acclimated to grow. She will start nutrition in a few days. This will be a 1 gallon perlite grow. It should be just like growing in coco coir from my previous attempt at this. So everything is going good for Ztrawberriez. 🤞🏻for a great grow. Thank you Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱

The Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid is a real beast... look how beautiful it is, what a flower with a long shape, maturation and very fast growth despite all this quantity of hemp and flower. Super. THERE are mini brunches everywhere and I've had tons of them.
The maturation started very early, I had also noticed this on the F1 plants of RQS, very often these ultra fast flowering girls start to put out red pistils when you don't expect it but that's the type of rapid maturation of these plants.
I'll tell you again about doing the math. Problem: a Watermelon candi from seed to harvest takes about two months, how many cycles of watermelon candy can you make in a year which, I remind you, lasts 12 months?
And how many cycles can you do with the average autoflowering that lasts 3 months? And how many with photoperiodic ones that last even longer?
If it doesn't seem like much, learn to count.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, big congratulations to Zammi.

ZAMNESIA SEEDS - WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: BUDS BURSTING WITH FLAVOR
If you've been looking for a flavorful strain with superb genetics that's effortless to cultivate, the hunt is over. Thanks to reliable F1 hybrid genetics, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic showcases the highest degree of productivity and efficiency. This strain takes everything you know and love about the original, and packages it in a plant with even greater potential.
GROWING WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC
Derived from Watermelon, Candy Kush, and ruderalis, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is a finely tuned medley of genetics. This cultivar is fast to flourish and reliable to grow, no matter where you choose to grow. Taking just 9–10 weeks from germination to harvest, she provides a uniform growing experience culminating in a huge haul of buds for her size.
Reaching heights of 65–80cm, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic stays pretty grounded, making her perfect for smaller growing areas where space is a commodity. It also means you can fit more plants in if you have the room! Once ready to yield, growers will see a return of 400–450g/m² indoors and up to 100g/plant outdoors. Moreover, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is highly resistant to pests and disease, making it an ideal strain for newcomers and fans of low-maintenance cultivation.
AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF WATERMELON CANDY F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC
If we haven't already sold you on the power of F1 hybrid genetics, the proof is in the pudding. Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic is teaming with terpenes and cannabinoids, making for a lively high coupled with huge flavors. Just one hit is all it takes to sample rich fruitiness mixed with sweet candies and a slight earthiness to back it up. And with an average THC content of 23%, the effects are euphoric at the start but settle into deep relaxation soon after. Whether you're chilling alone or with friends, Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic will see you right.
So seeds of all brands, in addition to these great F1 Hybrids and the entire Zamnesia line, fertilizers and everything related to the world of cannabis, you should buy them from the best online store in the sector

Fucking chem og how resilient is she, for sure, she's a fighter, came back as determined as ever to pack it in some more, she didnt mind the dark, was a bit scared about the mold, so far no signs of it so let's all make a prayer for chem og, hope the taste is what i enjoy kinda fun flying blind ... but even a blind person would notice what an indica this is 😅 last week of smart proteins no nutrients added yet, just plain water and one point four bricks of shitting in my pants what a shake down my leg ! I'm smoking Dr. Grinspoon rn, and i've listened all i can to cypress hill's dr. green thumb and they say
"I never grow at my home" but what they dont say is all about the rest of it lol abricots? peaches ? 🚀
dropped her down to 10/14 so she's got plenty of time for resin production now she's a stinker smells like citrus and indica, or more like indica citrus, does that make sense ? 👊

grow room adjustments this week. plants are now more spread out under a total of 5 600w HPS lights. 3 fastbuds plants have an additional 45w LED light. by week 3/4 they will occupy my whole grow space and an additional 3 600w HPS lights will be added.
Plants are looking healthy and 10 or so have been topped for the first time on day 8. dinafem cookies are looking very good in structure. will upload pics every day until harvest! thanks for looking. UPDATE day 12 veg, they are looking beautiful better than i expected. there are 36 in 15litre pots now and i cant wait to make my final grow room upgrage next week and for my room to be looking like a forest! im hoping for 2-3kg off these girls and only time will tell. i will keep doing daily updates until harvest
