STRAWBERRY PIE AUTO (FASTBUDS) WEEK 5 My first solocup grow, so it's a new experience. Good color! I had hoped for some branching atleast. (Though my other plants currently in 3gal pots are branching just fine)

This little Blackberry grow is to finish up the seeds I had in the fridge for a few years now. Had 2 packs of 5 "buy one get one" and had 3 left over from the 2nd pack. Did not know what to expect but they all seem healthy and stable. The packaging is old school before they went all black. Will upload this into the fastbuds outdoor contest and see how it does. Germinated by scarification of the seed with an emery board then soaking in water for 12hrs, I added in the step of paper towel for another 12hrs then planted outside with myco in the hole. Watered in with some LABS "Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum [Lactobacillus]" and Transplanter MS-CS RootRescue. They all popped up within a few days after planting outside. Going to try and do this diary with only Liquid Feed by Trip Tonic, this is an in-house brand I picked up from my local grow shop. Have talked with other users on this site who are also in Toronto and they speak highly of this shop and like their products. The medium is fortified with some compost and its a organic pro-mix designed for veggies so it should have enough food in it for the first 3 to 4 weeks and will not need to use the liquid feed just yet.

We are in Flush !! Was giving them GH Flora series + rapid start + cal mag

Stäben kommen gut für Outdoor, der Kollege macht sein Ding 😅 Botaniker was soll man sagen hahaha

🌱 VEGETATIVE (4 weeks) The Runtz seed, placed in a root-riot cube within a DWC net pot, successfully sprouted by day 4, under an 18/6 light cycle (50W at 50cm). The first week saw the seedling establish itself, with roots extending into the DWC reservoir. During the second week, despite slightly low humidity and temperature, the seedling demonstrated robust and rapid growth. Light intensity was increased to 75W. Towards the end of this week, I removed the first set of true leaves as they were growing too close to the substrate. The third week marked a noticeable increase in the plant's water uptake (1 LT/day), which prompted me to raise the nutrient solution's EC to 1.0. The plant showed significant development while maintaining a compact stature – a trait I appreciated. In the fourth and final week of vegetation, as odors began to emerge, I installed a carbon filter, raised the EC to 1.2, keep the pH in the right range and boosted the light intensity further to 150W. By the end of this phase, the plant was bushy, compact (21 cm height), and healthy. 🌸 FLOWERING (8 weeks) For the first week I switched the light cycle to 12/12 and introduced a new nutrient solution adding Power Buds to the mix. During the second week I was impressed to see preflowers clearly visible as early as day 10 of flowering. So, during the third week I made a substantial defoliation session to manage the plant's increasing bushiness, which I knew would be crucial for later-stage light penetration and humidity control. In the fourth week I introduced a PK 8/9 booster, Green Sensation, thereby increasing the phosphorus and potassium concentration in the solution, water consumption around 3 LT/day. Towards the end of the week, I performed another significant defoliation, including the removal of lower, light-starved branches, to which the plant responded well. During the fifth week the stretching phase concluded, with the plant reaching its final height of 69cm. Its focus shifted to bud development, and the foliage began to adopt a darker hue. At this point, my role was primarily to maintain stable environmental parameters and a correct pH in reservoir. During the sixth week buds were visibly swelling daily, the plant remained in excellent health, and resin production became more pronounced. For the seventh week I implemented a change in feeding, completely cutting the nitrogen from the DWC solution, using only Green Sensation at a higher concentration. In the eighth and final week of flowering (week 12 overall), I performed a complete DWC reservoir change. I filled it with plain tap water and maintained this for 4 days leading up to harvest. On day 56 of flowering (84 from seed), the Runtz plant appeared perfectly ready. The buds were dense and glistening, pistils mostly browned and retracted, and trichomes displayed a good mix of milky and some amber. Immediately after harvesting her, I removed the fan leaves, deciding to dry these as well due to their remarkable resin content. ✅ DRYING The entire plant was hung to dry inside the grow box, which was kept completely dark with constant, gentle air circulation for 8 days. The average VPD during this period was maintained around 1.2 (approximately 20°C and 50% RH). Once this drying period was complete, I trimmed off all the sugar leaves. These resinous sugar leaves will be combined with the already dried fan leaves and larf buds, and I plan to use them to make cannabutter for edibles. ⚖️ Dry weight After the 8-day drying period, and once all the remaining small leaves and branches were removed from the buds, I weighed the final product: The harvest yielded: - 150 grams of dense buds and 5 grams of finger hash. For edibles: - 30 grams of larf and a large amount of fan and sugar leaves. ✅ CURING For the curing process, the dried buds were placed in a large, airtight glass jar. This jar was stored in a dark location within a room maintaining a stable temperature of around 20°C for a total of 45 days. The burping schedule was as follows: Day 1-7: twice daily for 10 min. Day 8-10: once daily for 10 min. Day 11-14: every other day for 10 min. Day 15-21: every 3 days for 10 min. Day 22-30: every 4 days for 10 min. Day 31-45: No burping. 📑 SMOKE REVIEW - At 15 days cured a vegetal note is still quite present and the smoke is a bit harsh, typical for a short cure. The effects are already pleasant and potent, very promising. - After 30 days of curing, the Runtz has improved considerably. The vegetal smell has mostly faded, giving way to a much more defined sweet and fruity fragrance reminiscent of candy and berries. The smoke is noticeably smooth, euphoric effects are dominant. - At 45 days, Runtz has expressed its full potential and is now perfectly cured for daily enjoyment. The aroma is intense and complex, an explosive mix of sweet candy and tropical notes. The effects are potent, starting with an uplifting cerebral euphoria that evolves into a pleasant body relaxation, without leading to couch-lock. 🍕 I also made cannabutter which I used to finish a risotto. The result was insane – both the risotto itself and the potency of the cannabutter were exceptional!

December 2nd: Week 6 has started, hopefully last week of veg, defoliating, started feeding Sweet Candy, reducing humidity... more to come Tuesday night and it's end of week 6 or day 42, they are doing well, about 16 inches tall and bushy but I feel like another week of veg wouldn't hurt, hoping to get them all around 18 inches tall before I flip Comments and likes appreciated, stay high

Hello folks ! Back from holidays, the plant keeper did not so bad ! Following recommendations from a piece of paper and readjusted after sending pictures. All the plants on the drain tables had recovered well from over feeding. Only 2 plants didn’t recovered, coming from another seeds bank and growing in pots with cups. White Label genetics are suitable for new growers and will forgive wrong moves like Nutrients excess as you can see 😉 Week 2 of flowering, some plants suffered from over feeding around week 6-7 of Veg. But everything should be fine now. Flowers start to show. I had to trim the legs and small shoots not reaching canopy to avoid any waste of energy for the plants. Canopy is dense and thick, I feel like playing at Jumanji sometimes 😅😂 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Day 68-16/02/22 I’ve harvested 6 of the 25 so far they are drying some more to come down over the next days all buds looking juicy and crystals everywhere!!!

📆 Semana 11 La Ice Cream Haze cierra el ciclo con una madurez redonda. La segunda tanda ha terminado de compactar y muestra los tricomas en su punto exacto, con ese brillo denso que anuncia potencia. Los matices morados están totalmente fijados y el aroma cremoso-afrutado se ha intensificado tras estos últimos días de afinado. La planta ha entregado justo lo que prometía: volumen, color y un perfil aromático limpio y marcado. ✂️ Cosechada: ciclo completo, doble tanda afinada y resultado a la altura. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

This week I decided to remove the LST and let her strech out as much as she wants. I lollipopped her on day 49 and cutted down all the branches that will never grow to the light. She has to strech as much as possible because there are some way taller plants under the same light. I hope she gonna produce some nice flower and will continue to strach abit. Thanks Fastbuds for the Amazing Strain !

Things are really starting to smell strong and getting fun. Seeing some frosty Trichomes. Excited!

Alright Then REMINDER I DO 2 UPDATES PER WEEK 👉WEEKLYROUNDUP👈👉MIDWEEKLY UPDATE👈 We just hit week 5 and all is well , for the most part , having a little magnesium issue but hopfully with some adjustments I got under control 😃 ....... Middle of last week I have decided to start with her little sister and started a little training by pulling her over to the side 👌 And will continue to LST this week👈 And she's looking fantastic and she's already begun next faze by preflowering 😲 Pheno #2 is about 10 to 12 days behind rain water to be used entire growth👍 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎

Dam she is such a quick flowering lady I can't believe it .. and the smell allready comming off the stem after a slight rub is very good in excited for this baby and it's the first time I grow her outdoors so this will be good .. She has the best colour on her buds

She grew 21cm this week!! Flowers developing nicely. On she goes. 😎

Last week of flowering (72days from the light switch) Gonna cut soon when the dirt is dry. A quite late harvest. Many buds denser more, and stem can’t longer resist. This season so satisfy. Thank for all mentor and comment. You all are my inspiration for grows.

Hallo und herzlich willkommen am Anfang der 2ten Blütenwoche Einiges viel zum Wochenende an. Darunter viel, dass wir eine große Population an Trauermücken durch eine Nematoden- Kur und Gelb wie auch Blautafeln in den Griff bekommen mussten. Bisher obwohl wir es auch schon mal erwähnten, haben wir bis hierher von dem Neemöl- Extrakt noch nichts verwendet, da die Pflanzen ohnehin schon zu dem Zeitpunkt arg angeschlagen waren. Dahingehend haben sie sich alle gut erholt. Da unsere Liter Vorräte an Dünger nun doch kurz vor Ende nicht mehr alle samt top waren, sind wir jetzt auf das JU JU Royal Programm von Biobizz umgestiegen. Was soll man sagen, wenn man wem Vertrauen kann auf dieser Ebene, dann sicher Julian Marley 😇 Gestern Abend dann haben wir das Lollipopping unter der Voraussetzung Sauberes bzw. Desinfiziertes Arbeitswerkzeug wie natürlich auch Handschuhe vollzogen. Es war jetzt das insgesamt 3te mal das wir sie entlaubt/ gestresst haben. Was aber auch wichtig ist, es tut ihr ja gut und daher verwöhnt man sie auch wieder rum^^ Wir haben ca. 20 % entfernt, alles was Licht abbekommt und Sonnensegel blieben stehen. So ist bewerkstelligt, dass ausreichend Photosynthese betrieben werden kann. Sie waren alle schon sehr dicht gewachsen und schöner wäre letzte Woche gewesen zu Entlauben um so besser, für Luftzirkulation zu Sorgen und auch die Raumfeuchte runter zubekommen. Dennoch haben wir uns dafür entschieden, den Beschnitt genau zum Übergang in die 2te Blütewoche umzusetzen. Grund dafür auch, den Streck abzuwarten. Jetzt Anfang der 2ten Blütewoche ist die Bildung von Blütenansetzen voll im Gange und schon gut ausgeprägt. Demnach auch der Streck bald Stagnieren. Gießverhalten, sehr unberechenbar... man kann in die Pötte geben und nächsten Tag sind die Nährstoffe bis auf ein geringes quasi verpufft. In der Regel versuchen wir alle 2 Tage Nährstoffe zu verabreichen, ansonsten Wasser in auch PH angepassten Wasser. Ab der Blütephase fahren wir mit mind. einem PH von 6.5 bis höchstens 6,8 Da wie eben genannt nichts in die Pötte zu bekommen war, haben wir gestern auch mit 1 ml/ L ne leichte Blattdüngung mit Green Mystic vorgenommen. Nur erreichbare Sonnensegel bzw. Blätter wurden besprüht. Andere Blätter darunter bzw. daneben wurde versucht so gut wie möglich abzudecken (Küchentuch). Ja soweit wäre es jetzt erstmal. Wie immer, hinterher fällt einem immer wieder noch was ein was man sicher Schreiben wollte ;-) Aja Gesternhatten wir dann auch auf 720 Watt umgestellt. Wir freuen uns auf die kommende Woche und wünsch somit allen Growmies einen tollen Start in die neue Woche! Vielen Dank auch an alle die vorbeischauen, kommentieren und oder Liken! VG 👋

Week 8 of flower and she looking good but not done in both look and trichomes might need 7-10 more day to finish the ripening of buds. She does smell super good even though stay in 30 degree Celsius condition around 2 weeks which is not optimum but it's the best i can do for her. The clip with flash on show her trichomes very clearly and frosty, however she is around 80% cloudy another 15% still clear and some about to turn amber can't wait for her to finish. Enjoy your growing all <3

I've already smoked some of this sweet one😘
