07/06/2025 - Day 98 Short Facts: - 86 cm tall - VPD @ 1.0 - Approx. 900 PPFD - Fungus gnats still there - Thrips seen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry for not updating the diary over the past few weeks. I had a medical emergency in the family, which caused quite a bit of chaos. There’s not much to report — her flowers are getting bigger and bigger. The smell is really special and intense! It looks like senescence is starting. She has lost some color in her leaves and is now turning more yellow. Just to be safe, I added a small amount of Epsom salt. And of course, there are still problems: The fungus gnats are still around, although there are far fewer than before. I’d say their numbers are down by about 80% compared to the peak, so at least some progress has been made. I’m still fighting them and have ordered more predatory mites. Unfortunately, I also noticed some leaves that didn’t look good, so I took a closer look. The result: I found thrips on both plants. It doesn’t look like a full-blown infestation yet, so I hope I can get it under control. The predatory mites should help, and I’ve also ordered some green lacewing larvae to support the fight and hopefully wipe them out. This whole situation is really frustrating. I recently had to deal with thrips on one of my biggest Alocasias, and I’ve been battling a persistent aphid infestation on my largest Dieffenbachia for weeks now. I’ve never had this many issues with pests before.

3/23: The pistils on all three of these plants suddenly withered, and upon inspection, I see that they're almost ripe.👍 I let them go totally dry this time and fed them with about 3/4 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, cha ching, tiger bloom, big bloom, and humic acid. This was probably the last time they'll get any nutes, but I may water them once more with sweet & sticky and terpinator. 3/27: I mixed up water with sweeteners and terpene enhancers and cal-mag, then pulled everybody out of the closet...lo and behold, all 3 of these plants were ready to flush! I can't find my 20x macro lens for my phone, so I'm using my mini-microscope until I can get another mobile device lens kit from Amazon. All three had about 80% cloudy and 10% amber trichs. so I put about 12 gallons of filtered water with Sledgehammer through each one. Lovely buds, and many of them, but I sure hope they swell up some more!👈 3/29: I added a few more MicracleLED blue (450nm-470nm) bubs around the garden. topped raining for a day and my RH is back down to lower 40%'s. Shortie will go into a dark room tomorrow and her big sister will get fed.

so Barney's Farm what do you think about your Afghan hash plant and its progress?... what's your opinion on the finishing times judging on the video that I took of your variety?

still growing fast as fuck. i was falling more and more in love with her as time passed. she was showing signs of hunger so i gave her, her first feed of veg nutes on december 5th 2021. I mixed 1/2 tsp to each gallon. I used a bucket with 3 gallons of dechlorinated tap water. Decmber 8th: same amount of veg to gallons of water with the same 1/2 tsp. phd to 6.4. December 10th gave her a feed honestly dont know how much. id say about 10-20 cups worth of dechlorinated tap water with 1/2 tsp of veg nutes to 3 gallons.

Haven't uploaded week 8 so here's a few words about then. I couldn't do much else since I was waiting for some supplies before transplanting them. Overall, it was interesting to learn more about watering. I was definitely underwatering them and I think that contributed for them looking "sad" on week 7. After increasing the amount of water, they started looking better and growing more too. I also sprayed them with bauv. for IPM. About week 9: Supplies arrived so I mixed some Bokashi in the soil mix, filled some 7L vases (made some extra holes on sides, lesson learned from the first weeks hahaha) and transplanted the plants. After that, I watered them some Shrimp FPE to increase microbial life, phosphorus and chitin content in the soil. 2 days later and two of them are looking really happy ( plant 1 and 3)

Always cool to see what old school strains are all about. If there’s something experience has taught me is that classics are classics for a reason, and that’s the theme of this cycle. The germination was exceptionally fast, followed by the development of a thick stalk and huge broad leafs, this Gorilla surely started strong. Humidity and temperature kept fairly high throughout the week (70%/ 24°C), with regular misting, which they love! So far so good, feels like a happy and healthy seedling. Let’s see what she’s got 💪🌱

A week since I went 12-12 and she’s responded beautifully grown about 150mm throwing out some nice bud sites and is that a hint of lemon I detect ? Happy healthy kush girl

Trimming started at day 11 of drying and took roughly 6 hours to complete. The final yield was 483g dried flower and 8g of dry sift from my trim bin. I pressed 6 oz into flower rosin with a yield around 25% ending up with 42g of rosin.

📆 Semana 9: La Auto Pablo Escobar mantiene un ritmo estable en floración. Los cogollos siguen engordando y aumentando en densidad, con una producción de resina que no deja de sorprender. Los tricomas son mayoritariamente lechosos, aunque aún se observan muchos pistilos blancos, señal de que la planta todavía tiene margen para seguir desarrollándose. El aroma se vuelve más complejo y envolvente, con notas dulces y cítricas que se intensifican día a día. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Pianta unica

CHERRY COLA AUTO / FASTBUDS WEEK #13 OVERALL WEEK #8 FLOWER This lady is grown inside I did a full diary on this strain already If you want to look at the plant in veg however now she grown inside and almost done with her flower stage as you can see her beautiful deep purple buds just covered in trichomes that are super sticky and the aroma coming off her is amazing!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for taking a look it's much appreciated!!! Thank you FASTBUDS!! FASTBUDS / CHERRY COLA AUTO

End of Week 12 (Fifth week of flower) The ladies are smelling reDANKulous and are so frosty and sticky I can't remove fan leaves without getting my hands sticky. Next level terpene profiles. I did a final increase in CO2 to 1500ppm. The main top-sites are taking shape. I have been keeping a cooler average temperature - and also keeping the relative humidity lower. Pest Report: None

Great growth from all the girls this week. Stretched massively. I have done a major defoliation to let more light to bud sights. 95% flowers are in light now. I will do another Small defoliation next week. Dry amended top soil with bat guano, worm castings and bio life. Should be enough to bring them into mid flower. I had a slight fungus knat issue but got some nematodes and they are starting to clear along with sticky traps. I have also taken cuttings from a few of the girls to cross a few of the stronger strains and create my own strain. First time I will be doing this so excited to see how it turns out.

Buone notizie: iniziano a fiorire, quella più indietro sta raggiungendo le dimensioni delle altre Cattive notizie: mostrano segni di troppa acqua e non si stanno alzando molto, ho paura che vada ad influenzare il risultato se non risolvo il problema dell'acqua

DAY 50 Defoliated a bit, hoping to slow her down, but I'm writing this day 51 and she is 94cm now.. unstoppable! 😶 Pre-flower started day 40. So maybe we can walk thru the fire with our heads straight.. 🙏 DAY 52 99cm now. Watered with Biobizz, did a normal bloom dosage.. 💧 I will be raising calmag a bit now, EC of water will be 0,6-0,7. DAY 54 108cm :crane: DAY 55 114cm 😬 😬 😬 Watered with 4L nutrient solution + 1L BioEnhancer solution 💧 🐟 Removed some lower stems in the shades. Twisted the two long stems with shorter stems from the sides, so the shorter stems are more in the middle, the longer stems are more at the edges now. 😅 DAY 56 118cm.. :metal: Thinking about a ZZ Top logo.. maybe I will have to drastically snap the two branches.. I actually feel adventurous about it. 😎 ... 2 hours later: I did it, I snapped the stems (not completely). Let's pray for healing. 🙏 The stems make the ingwaz rune now, the seed. Oh so metaphorical. 😤 It represents taking time to grow & transform, peace, silence, bursting into manifestation. ✨ Which reminds me of the pollen in the freezer.. it's time now! 🐝 LED running at 100% now. Distance is between 25 and 40cm. 💚 Wishing you a great week! 😘 __________________________________________________ SET UP Mars Hydro LED TS1000 sponsored by @marshydrococo2 😘 https://www.mars-hydro.com/led-grow-lights/ts-1000-led-grow-light custom exhaust fan 270/320 m³/h 3x Garden High Pro fans 5W tap water EC 0,25 - adding Calmag (Plant Magic) to EC 0,4-0,6 - adding pH minus Bloom (AHH) to pH 6,5 biobizz Lightmix - later Plantaflor organic tomato soil 🍅

Well one thing I learned , if you tie down using anything check it everyday

Day 23, been QCing the buds and lots defoliation the past 2 days. Getting caked in Trich and some nice bright orange hair poping out. Added trimmed buds to mulch layer. No fan leaves in mulch
