I originally had applied to Green House Seed Co.'s Taste of the USA Contest here on Grow Diaries. Turns out I was ineligible but the good folks at GHS still had the big hearts to send me seeds anyway. So big ups to them for hooking this grower up. Welcome to the Sea of Fire 🔥 For this grow were using the Dark Phoenix seeds that GHS sent to me to create a Sea of Green. I've got 8 plants in 8 1L pots. I've decided to use Black Swallow's living soil for this grow so we won't need to add anything but water for the first 3 weeks or so. Our goal for this grow is to have these girls ready for harvest in about 20 weeks which will bring us to the beginning of November 2021. If all goes according to plan these firey buds should be filling my friends stockings this Christmas.

November 8th. 39 days post flip Plants continue to grow very well. A lot of fattening has occurred in the last week and I expect even more in this following week. Midweek I have some big 6 and recharge. At this point I likely won’t be providing anything but water until the finish line. My lower leaves have not started to fade yet and so I do not want to overdo it with any nutrients. Smells have intensified a lot in the last week. I smells these things when I wake up in the morning when I go to work. Still not a lot of purpling on the purple marmalades. I can see them starting to turn. I’m hoping lower nighttime temperatures will help They need a defoliation now honestly but I am going to be patient and will not defoliate until day 49. I still need to add those two fans. I just ordered them so will add them in a few days when they arrive. Number 1(Cherry Chunks): This one seems to have the fattest colas. Also appears to be the frostiest so far but number 3 seems to be catching up. Not much on the smells on this one just yet. Earthy so far Number 2(Purple Marmalade): This one is my winner so far. The smells and taste of the Trichomes on this thing are absolutely insane. Candy mixed with guava mixed with watermelon. It is also the tallest and most vigorous plant. I’m confident I could fill this whole tent easily with one of these Number 3(Purple Marmalade): Smells of slight lemon mixed with earth and gas. This one seems like it’s going to be a bit gassy. Not as vigorous as 2 but it is frostier as far as I can tell. Clones: Growing well and really starting to take off! God Bless!! November 9th Update: Hey guys i ended up lying in two category’s. The first one was when I said I was waiting until day 49 to defoliate any more. The fan leaves were getting out of hands so I ended up removing half of them now on day 40. This significantly opened up more bud sites to the lights up top and also increased airflow and lowered my humidity a few percentage points. I did this a little early because they are fattening and I’m concerned about navigating around the buds when they are fatter in 9 days. Trying to mitigate the number of Trichomes I smash up. I also ended up giving some molasses. Want to make sure my microbes are happy and figured the potassium boost will help the flowering. As always, thank you guys and god bless!

I only feed them rainwater One is a bit behind in growth i dont care Wintergrows are always slow but still better then giving up we need flowers all year

I am very satisfied with the course and I hope it will continue to be successful!! :) Do you have any comments?

She seems to be starting to stretch for the sky. I can't wait to get her outside to train her and hopefully watch her become big and beautiful.

The Pineapple Express is ready to come out soon and has started her flush with crystal clear , it tastes as good as it looks , I’ve pulled a bit more off to smoke ( the last pic ) . She’s got some purple coming out and is absolutely stacked in trichomes and sticky to the touch . The Gorilla Zkittles is another 2 weeks behind and will love getting the place to herself next week , she’s so stinky it burns your nose but every now and then that fruit orchards smell will come thru , she’s starting to fill out nicely and is standing a bit over 1.2 metres, I’ll spread her out some next week when I have the space and keep feeding her for another two weeks . For now it’s drier sheets at the exhaust vent and and giving these two a great finish.

We’re now fully in production mode!🔥 The stretch is definitely done, and she’s putting all her energy into bud development. The trichomes are multiplying nicely, and the smell is becoming more and more intense, fresh lemon with a subtle sweet twist.🍋🍬 The bud structure is quite different from what I’m used to, more airy and elongated, kind of sativa-like. Curious to see how this one finishes up. Still healthy, still cruising, let’s see what next week brings!

Actually kind of glad the light fell on her two weeks back - right before flower and you can tell she's about to bush out. I've been diligently defoliating and tying her down at each developing node. Every day i seem to be greeted by new growth. In other words, she responds great in high stress situations! I may top my new Purple Lemonade purposefully since this one responded so well. Not much else to say... God speed fellow growers!!

Day 42 Update : Well folks , we are getting towards a finish now. The FFT #8 is still a bud on a stick style so we won't visit that one at all !!. FFT#9 Is now pushing some very nice trichromes out throughout her many mains. The bud structures are solid on her and she jas somewhere nice long colas stacks that are fattening up daily now. She is in her budswell stage now and has a beautiful fruity smell oozing from her. She is starting tonget some nice pinky colour appearing deep in the bud too which makes them look very nice FFT#10 Looks like she is trying to escape with her main stem off tonthe side looking for the sp250. Her buds are also rock solid with a really candy sweet smell She is nice and dark again since I have been adding the megacrop and shogun products and her stack girth indicates she will be a nice yield come harvest. Another 2 winner strains from this range nice work Fastbuds. Now we need to know who they are. lol

Going to grow strand again but let plant grow larger. I will not put the plant in flowering two weeks into veg

The plants in the back need to wait longer, I flushed the plants in the front, which are ready for harvest, with ice water. I covered the pots with ice Day 81 2 plant ready for harvest

Wizard Fuel - Wizard Trees Day 77 - Watered with 3L of RO tap water with nutrients mixed individually, in order and then pH'd to 6.3 💪🏻 Great week, she is bulking like crazy and requires feeding every second day, her buds are getting so big🤘🏻 I removed a couple of the lower hanging fan leaves and that's pretty much it, she has been a super easy grow so far!!
