10.08.2026 Almost there Hi Growmies, welcome back to week 9 of my Fast Buds Auto Grow. This grow is clearly heading towards the finish line. Weather and Conditions I’ve never had a grow where the weather has been this consistently hot. I actually think it’s been a little too hot, as days with 35°C or more seem to slow the growth down. Even in my tomato greenhouse, most of the plants are showing some heat damage, so a few degrees less wouldn’t hurt. But with the finish line getting closer, I’ll take dry and hot weather over rain any day. Maybe these conditions will even help me avoid any nasty mold problems during the final weeks. Growth All three ladies are slowly bulking up, although the progress isn't particularly dramatic anymore. The buds are getting really rock hard, while the smell seems to have reduced a little compared to the last couple of weeks. I guess the girls are now putting most of their remaining energy into finishing and ripening. Papaya Cookies She is just beautiful. The combination of purple buds and orange pistils is pure eye candy. She has become a real beauty and I absolutely love looking at her. I guess she'll be ready for harvest next week. Tangie She's the biggest girl in the garden. I expected her to take the longest because of her Sativa genetics, but this particular pheno seems to be a pretty fast one. The smell is still classic Tangie — that fresh orange aroma I already loved earlier in the grow. Apricot Apricot will definitely be the smallest yielder of the three. Towards the end, most of her bud sites have started to foxtail. I assume this is a reaction to the extreme heat, especially since she has absolutely no sunshade. But when it comes to smell and trichome production, she is absolutely crazy. She's still incredibly frosty and smells amazing. I think I'll cut her down next week as well. Feeding As I already teased last week, I've now switched completely to T.A. FinalPart for the final stage. The idea is to help the plants finish while using up the remaining nitrogen stored in their leaves. And you can definitely see that happening now — the fan leaves are fading rapidly. Pests Still nothing to complain about. The aphids and ants are still completely focused on the cucumbers, so I'll happily let them stay there. The grow gods are still on my side this year. Final Thoughts I checked the girls with my microscope and was surprised to already see around 10–20% amber trichomes. Papaya Cookies and Apricot could probably be ready next week. Tangie might need another week, but I'll make that decision when the time comes. For now, I'm just enjoying the final days of this grow. Alright my friends, that's it for this week. Catch ya next week! Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Wir starten in die nächste Blütewoche und der Stretch war in der letzten Woche sehr erfolgreich. Die Mimosa hat fast 100 % zugelegt und ist jetzt bei 102 cm. Das ist echt nicht schlecht. Ich habe jetzt ein wenig unten rum entlaubt, damit es wieder ein wenig luftig wird. Da die Trauermücken immer mehr werden, habe ich Nematoden bestellt, damit ich die Invasion in den Griff bekomme. Ansonsten gibt es es nichts auszusetzen. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Entwicklung und denke, das es diesmal ein richtig guter Run ist.

We've made it to week 3! (10/12/20) I'm very happy with how the girls are going, they have definitely put in a HUGE amount of work over the past 7 days. Plants 3 & 8 are very similar(extremely fat leaves & extra bushy) Plants 1 & 5 are similar (smaller phenos reacting to nutes slightly differently) & Plants 2, 4, 6 & 7 seem to be a cross between the previously mentioned phenos(not too small and not too big/bushy & reacting to nutes fine) Feel free to compare Week 1, 2 & 3 to see the differences. Nutes are staying the same this week, although I will be spacing feedings out a little bit further(18 hours-ish), as well as feeding straight PH'd water once a fortnight. I am contemplating hooking my simple drip-to-waste irrigation system up, although the girls are pretty close to the medium still and the halos sit 5-10cm above the medium, meaning fan leaves would be drooping onto the wet halos, so I'll give it another week and see how they're doing :) Update 11/12/20 - day 22 The girls have beefed up quite a bit over the last 24 hours, I'm really looking forward to seeing a stretch soon :) No feeding today & will water plain ph'd water tomorrow. Update 12/12/20 - day 23 Gave the girls straight ph'd water today with little run off. Veg growth is really starting to boom now, looking forward to seeing where this grow goes! I'm gladly accepting any tips or tricks, as I'm still only a beginner to indoors. Update 13/12/20 - day 24 Girls are looking great today, not much to report. They didn't get a feed or watering today as the medium was still wet after a pure watering yesterday. Update 14/12/20 - day 25 There's been a big increase in growth over the past 24 hours. All the girls besides the 2 smaller phenos look 100% happy, the smaller ones have looked a little weird since day 1(Weird as in colour of the fan leaves look deficient of something, but I'm not sure what. The girls will be getting a full feeding today. There's still no signs of sex but they are feminised seeds. Update 15/12/20 - day 26 Girls are looking happy today. Temps are back to normal after a heat wave in my city(its only going to get hotter from here on out). No feeding/watering today, pots are heavy/wet enough. Started using iphone for photos now, my only lens for my DSLR is useless for most grow related photos. I will upgrade my lens before next grow. I received my new silenced fan today! I couldnt be any happier :) It is a silenced Sigilventus SE-A150J, which I have set-up with a brand new Can-lite carbon filter. I went from a rocket loud eBay fan to a completely silent inline EC fan :D I hope the girls like the silence! Update 16/12/20 - day 27 The girls are continuing to boom! and I'm over the moon about it :D I gave them a full feeding today. I have seen white pistils coming out of calyx's on most of the girls, so i'm hoping they start to flower soon. I'm having weird issues with my humidity, it seems to be fine at 40-50% for 70% of the day, but the remaing 30% of the day it goes up to 60-65%. Temps stay the same in the 5x5 tent, I have ducted air-con in the house which is on most of the day. Thanks for viewing! :)

Ph problems. Having difficulty monitoring ph . Not been much around to watch plant about a week or 2 . Aero garden set up a lil bit difficult to get into reservoir to check ph daily. Going to change system to deep water culture RDWC.

Everything seems to be going alright, one of my plants has extremely shiny leaves almost like oily, and some odd shaped leafs but I’m very curious to see how things go when I switch to flowering considering these are all random bag seeds! Have been trying to look for signs of sex but still can’t see anything yet!

She's starting under a seedling lamp outside the tent and the humidity is a bit low. I used a dome for a few hours, but decided just to let her grow. Won't affect her too much in the long run and I really don't need to squeeze every gram out of my plants.

7/3/22 Stella is still moving along with the late bloom nutrient level this week. She’s getting close to the ripening stage, but still a week away. Today she received a full gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 4.2 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml The pH was 6.6, and wasn’t adjusted. She took nearly the whole gallon before giving back some runoff, but it was sufficient. The runoff pH was 6.3. The tent was 80.5F, with a humidity of 60%. She is starting to fatten up and her branches are starting to get weighed down. I’ve already used all of my LST poles on other plants, so I’m going to have to figure out a way to make more space. She sits in the middle of the tent, surrounded by 4 of her daughters, and a smaller auto-period plant sitting on a box in front of her. My tent is FULL! I ran out of time today and didn’t get any new pics of her, so I added one that I didn’t use the other day. Take care, and happy growing everyone! If you’re in the USA 🇺🇸, July 4th💥, happy Independence Day!! 7/5/22 Well, it finally happened! Stella’s branches have gotten heavy enough to tip her over when she has space to herself. She is in the tent with several other large plants (her 4 daughters + 1), so she rests nestled amongst them, so she stands. When I took two of her daughters out of the tent to feed them, she tipped right over. To make a VERY long story short; I tied her upright with almost all of her branches bundled up loosely so that they all get light, then fastened her to the back of the tent. It’s going to make feeding her tricky, but she’ll be stable, and getting full light exposure. It also opens up more space in the tent. Not much, but some. I tied up her daughters branches too. Enough about that. She received a full gallon of water mixed with the same nutrient level as the last feeding noted above. The solution pH was 6.5, and wasn’t adjusted. She gave back plenty of runoff with a pH of 6.3. The tent was 83F, and humidity was 65%. That’s a little high to me, at least compared to my previous grows. However, my tent has never been this full before. I adjusted the fan to a higher height, and with all the plants tied up somewhat using LST methods, I’ve increased open space between them with hope of improving air flow. We’ll have to see how it goes. Happy growing everyone! 7/7/22 I’m just going to write the basics today. Stella is still triced up nicely in the back of the tent so that she doesn’t fall over because of the weight of her own branches. Her buds are continuing to fatten up, and she looks lovely! Orange hairs all through her buds! Yummy!! She’s still getting the late bloom nutrients till next week when we actually begin the ripening stage. Today she took a gallon of the following: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 4.2 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml The pH was 6.6. I thought of adjusting it, but decided that it was good enough. She gave back plenty of runoff with a pH of 6.3. The temp was 83.3F, with a humidity of 54%. I didn’t take any pictures of her today. I was running between 2 rooms, and feeding other plants and just forgot. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll get pics later. Happy growing everyone!

Hi guys, The plant is done stretching but am showing N deficiency in lower leaves. I don't know if its because of the light mover, the lower plant not getting light, or maybe its the genetics. But should I be concerned? I tried to add some blood meal in my weekly tea and an extra dose of macro nutrients just for this one plant, but still seeing deficiencies. Well this is why I like to grow these girls, they behave differently.

Quick flipping this week! All systems go 🚀!! Did some LST to spread out canopy. One of my Yacht Party clones wants to be a runt but I’m sure this will change after 1st week flower, otherwise everything else is growing uniformly! Lookin forward to changing the schedule after our last cold snap passes in my area.
