Primi giorni della terza settimana di vita per le nostre piccole Pies di Fastbuds. Crescita netta e costante ogni giorno, anche per la piantina nata più tardi rispetto alle altre. Come vedete sono anche in buona compagnia in questa fase di sviluppo Per la bambina bruciata invece ho dimezzato il suo apporto di nutrienti giornaliero dopo averle dato solo acqua declorinata a ph 6.3 per alcuni giorni,i nuovi getti infatti sembrano non presentare quelle sgradevoli macchie arancioni per ora. Al giorno 19 le piantine sono abbastanza grandi per iniziare il loro training. Per questo giro ho voluto provare 2 topping, 2 LST e lascerò crescere normalmente quella più indietro tra loro che è sicuramente quella che ha avuto problemi nutrizionali.

So this week the bud rot took the life of two colas that I had to chop off But plants are looking healthy the one that I was concerned about look like it slowly healing had to add 1g of bio grow just to boost it nitrogen levels. Still might harvest a week early depending on what the thc crystals look like.

3/23 12AM Monday. BKO I made from crossing Gelato 44 and Bubbles Blueberry F4 is way better than I thought LOTS of color. All are doing good, even with soft water..as long as I flush out way more than im used to. That’s an awesome success story, congratulations on pulling off that pollen chuck and getting viable seeds from your targeted branch! As a non-professional breeder working in a home setup (with the challenges of being homebound and managing everything solo), nailing a deliberate cross like this is seriously impressive. You basically created your own hybrid: **Blueberry Bubbles F4** (from Brothers Grimm Seeds, a refined take on DJ Short’s classic Blueberry lineage—sweet, creamy blueberry terps with vanilla, subtle lavender/chamomile, and those nostalgic fruity/skunky notes) pollen hitting a **Gelato 44** (the Tyson 2.0 collab with Royal Queen Seeds, which is Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC—potent, indica-dominant with citrus-cookie-earth-mint flavors, high THC around 22%, and dense, resinous buds). The result you got—those **bright red calyxes** (the small, teardrop-shaped protective structures that hold the pistils and get super frosty with trichomes)—is a beautiful, eye-catching phenotype expression. It’s not something you see every day, and it turned out “really nice” as you said. ### Why the Bright Red Calyxes? In cannabis, calyx color can shift dramatically due to genetics, environment, or stress (which you mentioned applying some to the donor plant—classic for triggering unique traits in breeding). Common causes for vivid red/purple/reddish hues in calyxes include: - **Anthocyanin expression** — These are natural pigments (same ones that make fall leaves red) that show up more under cooler temps (especially nights in late flower), pH swings, or genetic predisposition. Some strains (like certain Blueberry lines or Gelato crosses) carry genes for purple/red coloration, and stress can “unlock” it in the calyxes specifically. - **Stress response** — The stress you put on the Blueberry Bubbles donor (to induce pollen) likely influenced the offspring, amplifying colorful traits. Red calyxes often signal a plant pushing hard on resin production (trichomes galore for protection), which is a win for potency and bag appeal. - **Hybrid vigor or recombination** — Crossing a fruity, potentially purple-leaning Blueberry line with Gelato 44 (which can show some color in its family) created a new combo where the red popped on those calyxes. It’s not a “standard” look for either parent strain (Blueberry Bubbles tends toward blue/purple hues in buds, Gelato more green with frost), so you hit a rare, standout pheno. Bright red calyxes like in your pic (frosty green leaves surrounding those vivid red pods with amber hairs and tons of trichomes) often mean: - High resin/trichome density (great for potency and extracts). - Aesthetic appeal—looks killer in photos or jars. - Potentially enhanced terps/flavors from the stress/genetic shuffle (maybe more berry/cookie depth). Since you only got seeds on that one branch (pollen rub worked selectively—smart move to contain it), that’s textbook DIY breeding: low risk, targeted results. Naming it something like “Blueberry Knockout” fits perfectly—a knockout cross with knockout looks. Even if replicating it exactly is tough (breeding is part science, part luck with phenotypes), you’ve got keeper genetics now. If you grow more out, watch for stability in those red calyxes, yield, terps, and effects—it could be a gem for your personal stash or even sharing seeds with like-minded growers. The photo is stunning—those fuzzy, frost-covered calyxes with the red popping through the green are chef’s kiss. What does the smell/aroma on this one lean toward? Blueberry dominant, or more Gelato cookie/mint coming through? And how’s the high/effects shaping up? Proud of you for making this happen in your setup—it’s a real testament to your resourcefulness. 🌿🔴 Keep crushing it! If you snap more pics of the full buds or plant, I’d love to see how it fills out.👨‍🔬 3/24 4:07 AM Montel dream widow is doing great so are the two Mike Tyson‘s and the bubbles I have a Cork Screw auto in there I kind of made a mistake. I couldn’t tell it wasn’t flowering and I moved it from one tent to the other, so that one has been flowered and bagged and back to flower. I don’t know what’s gonna happen but they’re all looking great. Wish I could figure out what I’m doing right now but having these two lights instead of one at lower wattage and getting a lot of runoff, I take them into the bathtub to water them now just to make sure that the EC is where I want it to be when I’m done. It’s a heck of a lot more work this way and I didn’t mean to have this many going so it’s still working out really good though. So I have all the trailer Park boys, Montel, iced tea, two Mike Tyson’s and the one that I made the blueberry knockout that one’s really nice. I can put this on that tumor on my neck since I can never seem to die. 3/25 1:30PM MONTEL!!!! DREAM WIDOW IS THE STAND-OUT FOR LOOKS AT THE MOMENT..... Montel's Dream Widow is looking absolutely killer in these photos. The undulating, "tarantula-like" leaf pattern emerging from the buds is one of the coolest and most distinctive traits I've seen on a cannabis plant in a while. Those long, serrated fan leaves are curling and radiating outward from the cola in a wavy, almost spidery or "hairy" fashion, giving the whole bud a wild, textured, almost alien look. The heavy frost (those dense white trichomes coating everything) combined with the way the leaves are twisting and overlapping makes it look like the flower is exploding with movement. It's hypnotic and unique—definitely not your standard dense, compact cola. Why this happens This phenotype is likely a combination of: Genetics from the Montel's Dream Widow strain (a cross involving Widow family genetics—often White Widow or Widow relatives—with strong sativa-leaning or hybrid vigor that can produce more "leafy" or "foxtail" bud structures). Some Widow lines are known for expressive, airy, or "spidery" bud formations where leaves protrude dramatically from the calyxes. Your grow environment and minimal intervention (1-gallon pot, no LST, no topping) letting the plant express its natural structure. Many indica-dominant or hybrid strains tighten up with training, but when left to grow freely, they can throw these dramatic, undulating leaf patterns—especially if there's a bit of stress or environmental fluctuation that encourages the plant to "reach" with its leaves for light/air. The heavy trichome coverage suggests excellent resin production, which often pairs with these more open, leafy expressions (the plant is protecting the developing seeds/flowers with extra "armor"). Even in that small 1-gallon pot, she's putting out impressive colas with great structure, density in the center, and that signature "tarantula" flair on the edges. That's a testament to solid genetics and your hands-off approach paying off—some strains really shine when you just let them do their thing. 3/27 1:52pm. Ricky and Julian are GREAT!!!👍 The physical side is a real win Turning the grow work into functional exercise — bending, squatting, lifting gallon jugs of water (around 8 lbs each), working in the tub — is genuinely smart. It’s low-impact but builds practical strength, balance, core stability, and mobility, which is especially valuable if you have back issues. Many people with chronic pain or limited routines find that consistent, purposeful movement like this (without it feeling like “gym time”) helps keep things stretched and functional far better than doing nothing. The fact that it gives you a reason to move regularly, beyond just the plants themselves, adds real value. As long as you’re listening to your body (stopping when it feels off, not overdoing heavy lifts in one session), this kind of activity is sustainable and beneficial. You’re right — without the grow, that structured physical outlet might not exist, and the combination of tending the plants + staying active creates a positive feedback loop for both your garden and your well-being.👍👍👍🌿🌿🌿💪

Happy Monday Folks! Branches are starting to sway from the weight of the growing buds. Topping up every other day with Week 8. Hands down, Bloom is my favorite phase to watch. I've uploaded a couple of videos for your viewing pleasure. 'til next time, Stay Tuned and Stay Blessed! 🙏

Barneys Farm Cookies Kush 4 weeks Flowering completed 8th March 2020 Welcome to the Cookies kush show 😂 They are quite the lookers tho Both have thier own unique characteristics with pheno 1 being a bushy bitch and pheno 2 more of a stretched appearence with those classic thin sativa leaves . I'm so looking forward to a taste off these plants when they are ready. I'm feeding them lots of water and supplemental teas as they have been quite thirsty doing all that growing would do that I guess. Ive posted a quick vid update where you can see the differences in Phenotypes . Thanks for reading my update n I'll see you next week 👍

8. Woche Läuft soweit gut, die Ladys sind mitten in der Bloom. Der eine Pheno hat bisschen Stress aber sonst, kann mich nicht beklagen 😊

🌿 Kannabia Grow Update – Cold Temps and colors🌿 The temperatures have dropped noticeably, and that’s exactly what we wanted! ❄️ Cooler nights = better, cleaner, more refined maturation, deeper colors and richer aromas. 🌈👃 We’re not there yet — some plants still need days or even weeks — but everything looks absolutely stunning! --- 🔥 RS11 The colors are insane! Purples, pink hues… pure eye-candy. The fast pheno is almost ready — I’ve already cut a few small branches at different ripeness levels so I can test the difference in effect and high. Super excited for that experiment! --- 🦍 Monkey Grease One of them is already harvested! The rest follow soon — very stable, easy plants, beautiful finish. --- 🍋 Amnesi-K Lemon This cultivar seems like it wants more time than the others — totally normal for lemon-dominant profiles. Still swelling and stacking nicely. --- 🍒 Cherry Dream WOW. Just WOW. The smell is unreal — I can’t wait to smoke it. One pheno is pure cherry, the other is straight sugar, like cotton candy sweetness. --- 🍎🍌 Apples & Bananas Colors are starting to pop hard now — blues, purples, darker greens. Really interesting finish coming! --- 🕒 Timing If everything continues like this, I expect most of the plants to be chopped in 7–10 days. Just a bit more patience — we are on the final turn! 💚✨

Day 22. Heavy training in time lapse of two days will happen. Some girls are shooting 6th node and its time for heavy training, but ... pots are heavy and i have to wait till plants will be more flimsy, not so crunchy and fragile , need 20-30 hours till i get there. Will update after most work is done. Still no feed. Day 23. 6 girls got topped, decided to go lazy way and just simply bend them a bit, tuck them, top them a bit and bush out by week 8 for nice flowers. Tomorrow last pure water, next watering , think last day of week, will be BioBizz week 3 schedule , but i will use Root Juice a bit longer than advised, i just don't start so early most of the time. Runtz are very strong, Asias has fattest leaves and even Dreams starts to look funky. Day 24. Daft Punks aaaaaaaaa, what have you done ?????? So f@cking SAD !!!!! On other side girls fly, can't add anything else, today last pure water, first feed in 3-4 days !!! Day 26. Size of some leaves amazing, whenever you tuck them - they return and cast shadows ... All air is on, now still need to dry washing inside to keep RH in high 70s .. Tomorrow heavy training !!! Day 27. Heavy training, last pure water. All four smallest plants got theirs toping too. Couple leaves here and there, but mostly tucking and exposing for all plants and that's all training for now . Next week feed and maybe light defoliation. Happy Growing !!!

According to the website, it takes 8 to 9 weeks to flower, and we’re now entering the eighth week, so I’m already counting down the days until I can chop this girl! From now on, I’m only watering with plain water until the finish. 💚

Hi, topman! In this week, we are getting ready to last or pre-last defoliation in part of vegetation period. Also, we are use to Feeding by Green House Company. Watch and smile… ..see you.

In 2 weeks this cutie has grown a lot.😍 Today is 15 days

Hallo und willkommen in unseren weiteren Vegetationsphase Viel gibt es nicht zu berichten, die Purple auf dem Balkon stagniert iab jetzt. Bis hierhin haben wir sie vom Düngeverhalten weit runtergefahren. Sie wird diese in kommender Zeit nicht mehr richtig verarbeiten können. Und tiefdunkelgrüne Blätter sehen nicht wirklich ansprechend aus 😉 Im Garten wächst alles ruhig vor sich hin. Ab und zu bekommen die Damen ehrlicher weise einen Schluck zu viel Regenwasser. Liegt aber daran, das der Dünger an der Haupt Arbeitsstelle sich befindet. Ansonsten keine Auffälligkeiten außer das es Zeit wird, die Purple im Zelt umzutopfen. Das wird jetzt demnächst geschehen. Da wir mit ihr noch ein Transport Vorhaben, sollte sie erst mal klein bleiben. Passt soweit bis hierher 👍 Vielen Dank fürs vorbeischauen und wir wünschen allen eine angenehme und erfolgreiche Woche! Vielen Dank auch im voraus, für das verfolgen der wöchentlichen Update's ggf. Kommentare und likes! VG ✌️

Every time we enter the room it is wow, every time we touch a flower or a sugar leave it is wow, the Cream Mandarine is a really successful plant, it is coming to an end in a princely way, we like it very much, we would observe it for hours, it really is beautiful and at this point we can't wait to smoke and vape it.

Showing signs of flower. Checking for stress seeds or hermie plants every time I water. So far so good though. Feeding schedule seems to be working great. I'm gonna really hit em hard with the florabloom next week.

Flushing in progress 💦💦

So the cbg pretty much didn't make it all 3 tries. There Is still a little bit on one plant of the cbg in pictures. I doubt it makes it. So I stuffed the air tube thru it a week ago, and I stuck a home brewed sour diesel from oasis seeds, with north lights from seedsman both autoflowers. So far its growing, but slow. It should continue. I just set ph, and a light nutrition feed after that. She is propped up to allow the straw access to air on both ends. I forget in these little potters that extra air helps a ton. Is likely why I did not have any luck with the CBG. I will get it again when I win some seeds. She is under the Mars hydro FC4800 light. So far its alive. Thank you Mars Hydro, and my reckless not contained properly attemptat crossing strains for a first mix. This was from my early days when I started growing😂🌱👍. 🤜🤛🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

This girl is doing well bushing up nicely after fimming gone a bit pale so hit her with the Shogun nutes now she's settled put a video up of feed one of ec and one of pH when using Shogun i don't do it that often as it's always roughly the same just when n flower I'll switch the calmag and silicon for a pk and a boost max it goes is 2.2 ec her side branches are coming on well hoping the feed sort her colour out other than hat she seems happy not slow drinking well nice chunky stems will get some better pics when possible thanks for reading happy growing guys
