06.07.2026 Preflower stretch
Hi Growmies,
welcome back to week 5 of my Fast Buds Auto Grow!
Weather and Conditions
The past days have been warm but not extreme. No rain at all during this period, which is starting to become noticeable now — especially as my rain barrels are slowly running low.
Temperatures have been stable in a comfortable summer range, without any real extremes. The greenhouse still builds up a good amount of heat during the day, but overall conditions are fairly balanced.
Water management is slowly becoming more important again, as everything now depends fully on irrigation without any natural rainfall support.
Growth
The ladies have officially entered the pre-flower stage and the stretch is fully underway. Every day they are noticeably taller and are quickly filling out the available space.
Papaya Cookies is currently leading the pack. She is already showing slightly coloured pistils, and the first proper bud sites are clearly forming. Apricot and Tangie are just a bit behind but are also stretching heavily and starting to stack nicely.
At this point, I’ve stopped all LST. From here on out I don’t want to stress the plants during this sensitive transition phase anymore. The risk of hermies is not worth it, so I’ll let them grow naturally from now on.
Feeding
Last week I started feeding with T.A. TriPart nutrients together with T.A. CalMag, as I assumed the Plagron Bat Mix was starting to run low on nutrients.
Apricot reacted with slight nutrient burn on a few leaf tips, while the other two handled the feeding without issues. Some older leaves have started yellowing, which suggests the soil is indeed slowly running out of available nutrients.
For now I’ll slightly reduce the feed strength for Apricot and keep observing how all three respond over the next days.
Pests
First signs of leaf miner activity showed up on a few leaves. I removed the affected leaves immediately and will keep monitoring the situation closely, but for now everything remains under control.
Apart from that, still no aphids, thrips or snail damage — so overall I’m happy on that front.
Final Thoughts
Despite a few small issues, I’m really happy with the overall progress. The stretch is in full swing, flowering has clearly started, and the girls are developing nicely.
Now the real flowering show is about to begin.
Catch ya next week, guys!

March 12, Day 71 my Sea Of Green is now a Sea Of Buds 😄 Tomorrow I will collect the three plants closest to the poster that seem to be mature. Next week I will collect the last two gorillas (excluding the two plants with a photoperiod predominance) because they seem to need a little more time.
March 13, Day 72: I wanted to make a video or a video to show you the defoliated plants ready to be cut, but when I removed them from the SOG they no longer had the support of the nearby plants and the branches could not support the weight of buds. I'm not complaining, in fact I didn't think I would get such a big harvest. For the same reason I only cut and put to dry two plants, I don't have enough space in my dryer that is only 50x50x120 Centimeters. However, I made a video with Harvest and a video with the new layout of the plants in my SOG. Now in my sea of buds there are three gorillas left, two cheese in advanced bloom and two photoperiodic gorillas and the margin there is a Cheese that has just started to bloom.
I realized that I can make only one harvest page for each variety, I thought it was possible to create one for each plant, so I will edit the diary for the final harvest, when I will also collect the last three gorillas in my secret garden. Thanks to everyone for the views and likes 😉

I've rather ignored these ladies this week as a lot of other things were on my agenda - but they don't seem at all bothered by the lack of attention. In fact, they seem more than happy to just do their thing.
We've had more hot days and fairly cool nights and nothing is fazing them - nothing! Their pistils are just starting to go brown but I don't foresee a rapid change here... they just keep bulking up and bulking up... whoever said that sativa buds were light and airy have never met these gals! They're out on my deck with 3 indicas and if I hadn't labeled the pots, I'd have a hard time figuring out which was which except for the smell! Kudos to the Super Sativa Seed Club!!
Still a few weeks to go but I'm VERY pleased with their progress!

FBT 2401 is going good. She has gotten acclimated, and found the solution. 🤞🏻 it isn't too strong. Hopefully she takes it well, and explodes in growth. She is under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2, in the Athena blended line nutrition. She is ready for another week. Thank you Medic Grow, Athena, and Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱

Week 7 for the strawberry gorilla from fastbuds 420!!!
We gave the last week of xpert nutrients feeding and will continue now with only water, harvest time is soon and at the moment the buds are looking great, nice smell in the tent and the buds are nice and covered in trichomes!
The plants are not that big but of course i have quite some plants together in the tent
and 7 liter pots so they stayed a little smaller, next time i will do maybe less plants but with the bigger 420 fastbuds airpots!

Day 21 Of flower I did a lollipop / heavy trim (feel like I could have done a lil more) and I have to say I'm running out of room with my lights it's pretty much at 9 inch away from the tallest part of the plant the ppfd high but using a phone app But not seeing no burn on the leafs The intake of water has been up to a gallon an a half (always do some kinda of runoff) pH has been around 6.1
Day 23 Of flower and I added the AC infinity fan (day 1 of fan(actually couple hrs and I think I been missing out on a oscillating fan so get one) still been slowly uping the dimmer it's been getting warmer in the tent so I turned my AC on
NOTES: ( btw it's April and I live in a new apartment and pretty much start growing after a month or so of moving in(moved in November started in the middle of January) and seems like this place holds heat so it's going to be a hot summer) but I can see myself down the road getting a (portable AC for the drying if I want to reach that 60°/60% ) plus that dehumidifier kicks off a some heat and my dumbass is growing in the room I sleep in so since all this I've slept on my couch a few times and plenty more to come

Day 10:
They have been growing nicely. Beautifull green leafs, no deficiencies or stress.
I did some Defoliation and I'm planning to top some plants but not all of them since they make nice main colas as well.
Also nice roots so far, will let those grow for another 1-3 days before repotting them into 7L pots.
While doing that I will add some new clay for beneeth the pots to have a good run-off. I will add some mycorizza as well to improve the roots and
I will water them again with lots of Regulator(anti-stress) and Rhyzotonic( root stimilator).
Some days after that, they are ready to get pushed into flowering. Sativas like to grow twice and sometimes even more in size.
So the size which they are at the end of this week will be enough.
So at the end of this week you will see them being in 7L pots and in a bigger grow space under lots of lamps.
There are like 3-5 plants not growing nicely. Might have to kill them. I'm not going to waste time,energy,nutrients on those if they don't grow in size in a couple of days.
So might end up with just 235 plants.
Il update again at the end of this week.
Day 14:
I almost finished the rest of the grow room. I still need to adjust and replace the lamps some more and other things.
Did many defoliation below the plants. Thoose branches are never going to preduce nice and thick buds anyways. Such a waste of energy and nutrients.
Because of the removing of branches and leafs, They get a better airflow and better exposure of light as well.
So for now they look a little bit ugly haha and not so bushy anymore, but they will grow into fine looking ladies.
I kept 5 or 7 branches each plant and some bigger plants I even topped because I don't want them to stretch alot.
Another reason is that I want bigger stems. If other plants that didnt get topped, not improving stems I can still top them until the end of week 1 of flowering.
I'm putting them into flowering, by putting the lightschedule to 12hours of light and darkness. It will take a few days before they start preflowering.
The first buds will be seen in like 10-14 days.
Untill next week!

These are clones that I managed to take from my summer garden that became a disaster due to a heat wave that we had breaking 100 year records. I expect everything to be 48” in height at maturity.
