8/10 Monday. 12:05AM FULL RETARD MODE ACTIVATED 8/10 MOnday - looking good needs water will ask Grok: For your Fast Buds autos (RF3s + Mendo Frost) at roughly week 5 in coco, target an incoming EC of about 1.2–1.6 mS/cm (roughly 600–800 ppm on the 500 scale). 8/11 4:30am 550 PPFD is solid for where those plants appear to be. Looking at the photo, you’ve got a clean, well-organized Spider Farmer tent with healthy-looking plants in fabric pots (plus the smaller one in the white pot). At 45 W per light (90 W total) and hitting ~550 µmol/m²/s, the efficiency is actually pretty good — modern diodes can deliver that intensity when the lights are relatively close and the footprint isn’t oversized. Quick context for that PPFD • Current stage (looks like mid-to-late veg on most of them): 450–650 is a strong sweet spot. You’re right in the middle. • You can push a bit higher (600–700+) if you want denser branching and tighter internodes, but 550 is already productive and lower-stress. • Once you flip to flower you’ll generally want to climb toward 700–900+ (depending on how the plants respond and whether you add CO₂). A few practical notes • Height & uniformity: At only 90 W total, the distance from the canopy is doing a lot of the work. If the outer edges or lower plants are noticeably dimmer, you may need a slight height adjustment or to rotate pots so everything stays even. • Heat: 76 °F and 48 % RH is comfortable. With only 90 W you’re not fighting heat. • Dimming headroom. The plants look happy — good color, no obvious light stress or stretch. You’re in a good place. If you want to share the exact model of the lights or the tent size, I can give more specific height/PPFD targets. 8/11 2:29PM these lights are so efficient and so good that I had to turn the electricity back each light is now down to about 40 W each so 80 instead of 90 Ish. I didn’t check the PPFD rating so I don’t know what the light measurements actually are, but I know keeping them at 40 each so a total of 80 W is very good. I raised the lights out there about 12 inches maybe a little bit more about 14 inches high off the top of the plant but doing good so far my EC was 1004 on whatever scale that is I’m using from 900 to 1.2 is what was recommended for EC. 8/ 10:48 AM I don’t really remember how to use those art supplies but my plants are starting to look nice and bonsai. One of them will be shaped like a snake. It’s gonna look really good and self supporting. The other ones are pretty good. These are gonna be a nice decorative grow. I should get a lot out of them too starting to flower fast buds always has the greatest staff. I mean there their plants are always the best. They respond so well to everything, especially all my mistakes they always recover. 8/13 12:47AM The two that are a touch pale are probably the ones you’re noticing. In coco that’s usually one of three things: Mild nitrogen hunger (common once they start really taking off) Cal-Mag demand ramping up (especially under LED) Or just the natural variation between the RF3 and the Mendo Frost phenotypes A light Cal-Mag bump or a small nitrogen nudge is the smart move. Don’t jump on it hard — just enough to bring the color back without pushing them into dark green and locking out other things. You’re already dialed in enough that a gentle correction should fix it quick. 👻👽 Your light setup is the real story though. Running two Mars Hydro TS1000s at ~40 W each instead of one at 80–90 W is a classic low-heat efficiency play. Same total photons, way better distribution, and almost zero heat load. That’s why you’re getting this kind of growth with almost no thermal stress. The plants are loving the gentle, even intensity. Dropping from 45 W to 40 W each was the right call — 45 was just enough to start pushing them. 👻👽

11. Woche, Icy legt gut zu, dadurch das sie nicht ganz so viele Seitentriebe hat werden duch das Lollipopping und entlauben keine Popcornbuds gebildet, auch gut👍. Die Mainbuds werden schön groß und der Duft wird immer intensiver.

Day 50 She is drinking 3 liters every 3 days. Noticed the tips are slightly nute burn so have lowered the nutrients slightly. Bud sites filling in and swelling nicely. Very frosty. Swapped big bud for overdrive.

First week under the Lumatek 600 Pro set to 50% and aporox 40cm away from canopy. Day 7 applied some pruning and supercropped the few taller girls to even out the canopy. I will add a CO2 bag next week as i increase the power to avoid potential light stress.

As we enter week five we notice some of the plants pre flowering. But not all so I decide to stick with veg nutrients until all are showing pre flowers. Half way through the week and the rest of the plants are showing pre flowers. Just in time as the plants that had pre flowered earlier on in the week are showing slight Newt burn on the tips suggesting It is time to change to bloom newts which holds less nitrogen. The magnified picture are of the pre flowers forming ( two little fuzzy hairs). Interesting fact: it takes thousands of those little fuzzy hairs to form just one bud.

For fweek 11 she’s looking great with more and more ripening of the buds getting fatter every day and insane thrichome production she’s quite small build size because of the lowerlevel of scrog bit her width makes up for in height with the thriches and pistols starting to change colour getting fatter and fatter getting closer to flushing date

Welcome! In this grow we have: 2x Platinum Wedding Crasher 2x Gelato 41 1x Sour OG 2x Lemon Kush Germination/Rooting - 14 Days 9/17/21 - The clones look good in solo cups of soil. We will transplant into 5 gallon pots in the grow tent after they fully root in the cups. 9/18/21 - Looks like the clones are doing well in soil! We are so excited to grow these out. The clones came from a very highly respected grower. 9/19/21 - No ugly growth. All clones look amazing! We upgraded the light to a Mars TSW 2000. 9/20/21 - They are looking good and most likely rooting throughout the cups. I’ll give them a little bit of water today. I want the roots to go looking for the water so I’ve kept them slightly dry. 9/21/21 - They look happy. I will let them just do their thing… We are waiting on our Mars TSW 2000 light to show up anyways. No roots visible from the drainage holes in the cups. 9/22/21 - Looking really healthy and growing nicely. I’m excited for them to fully root in the cups so we can transplant them into the tent. The Mars TSW 2000 should be here in the next few days. 9/23/21 - Looking so good! We can’t wait to get these under the Mars TSW 2000 in the tent. They smell and look great. 9/24/21 - The clones look really good except for one Sour OG. It wilted and died, roots did not take unfortunately. I have a Lemon Kush started from seed we will grow in place of the dead Sour OG. Today we got our Mars Hydro TSW 2000 light. We will be hanging it and updating with pics/videos. 9/25/21 - They look amazing. Lots of growth while rooting. 9/26/21 - So far so good. Watering when the cups get light in weight. In just a few days we will be transplanting. See the video for today, we hung the Mars Hydro TSW 2000! 9/27/21 - Watered them yesterday, they look healthy. The Lemon Kush isn’t a clone, it is from seed. It’s the smallest girl but it’ll perk up quickly. 9/28/21 - Transplant day!! The clones are looking really good and it’s time to transplant into the 4x4 under that Mars Hydro TSW 2000 at 50% intensity. Check out the pictures and videos from today!

The bud form this week, still little pink mix with the green bud The temp is going up on this week at around 30-34 but that's not the problem with the development so far PPM is 1000-1150 with late stage bloom nutes. it might finish next week imo.

Hier wird fleißig gewachsen was das Zeug hält. Die belebende Konkurrenz scheint wahre Wunder zu wirken und wir schauen mal wer sich doch noch am Ende durchsetzt. Die Apple Strudel sollte demnächst dann auch langsam beginnen mit den ersten Vorblüte Anzeichen. Leider war ich diesen Sonntag nicht bei Oma. Die Fotos sind von letzten Donnerstag. Daher kann ich nicht sagen wie sie aktuell aussieht. Da ich auch die Woche beschäftigt bin wird, es schlecht mit vorbeischauen das heißt Oma muss alles alleine machen. Aber ich denke das wird auch von alleine funktionieren. Beim Gießen braucht man sich keine Gedanken machen da die Woche regenwetter ist. Schauen wir mal wie es weitergeht beim Krieg der Pflanzen. Demnächst könnt ihr den Krieg der Pflanzen auch auf YouTube verfolgen 🏻 Und, schaut bei meinem Growmie mit rein - Bei dem ist immer Eskalation angesagt: https://growdiaries.com/grower/stimpson

Wow I can say she is doing great have done a lot of defoliation on her also have done lolipoping to get more energy to the top buds this my 1st time trying it let see how she does. Feed 8th week chart mix with my fox farm will continue on the chart schedule haven’t tried the sledgehammer yet but before the end of flower I will. Will start to post videos of the grow from now on also of course tons of more pics. Day time temp 74-76 and RH is around 50-56%.

Lolipop them and now they are on cruise control at the end. I leave middle free,when they get stack with buds,they have space to get fat:) Every second day they get 3L water with once Sensi bloom part A & B(4mll)+Big bud(2ml/l)+ Nirvana (Terpy taste 1ml/l)+ Bud candy 1ml/l) Second watering B52 1ml/L+Nirvana (1ml/l)+Big bud(2ml/l)+bud candy (1ml/l) and I give them Silica boost once per week 0.1ml/l After 6. or 7. week of flower I will swich Overdrive instead of Big bud. Once I give them together,then continue with Overdrive

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2203 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Mars Hydro Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/15- Here we go into the second week of veg for the FastBuds Tester #2203 girls and they're on a roll! When I checked on them today they both were still moist so I let them go until I check them tomorrow. Basically at this point in the run all I have to do is make sure they don't dry out, fill the humidifier and watch them grow! 12/17- Yesterday I watered them both and increased the amount to roughly 0.25g each of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of Botanicare Silica Blast (added to begin to help strengthen their branches) and then ph'd to 6.4 @ 74℉. I've also increased the output of the HLG 650R's to 35% which equates to about 230w at the wall which, of course has raised the temp's in the tent so I've also begun to run the A/C unit in the grow room which is keeping the temp's now at 75℉ in the tent. The RH is running around 75-78% RH giving a VPD of .67-.74 which I'll take! 😁👍 Other than what I've mentioned above, all I did was fill the humidifier with distilled water and watched my girls grow! 🤩 12/19- Today I watered them each with 0.25g of de-chlorinated water to which I added 3ml/g Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t and 1 tsp/g Unsulfured Molasses which I then ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I'm now watering through the bottom, filling the drip pan and letting the plant draw up the water into itself. I am also watering from the top, but only just enough to moisten the medium. They're really starting to take off now, a sure sign their roots are beginning to get well developed. Their 4th set of leaves have emerged and as they get bit bigger I may give topping, one or both, some consideration... we'll see! 12/21- Today I watered them both with 0.25g of straight de-chlorinated water each which was ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I gave about 3/4 of it into their drip pans so they can draw it up into their medium, the rest I applied to the top of their medium just to moisten it. They're both doing fantastic with good color and vigor! They're not very tall and judging by their leaf shape and overall structure I'd say they are definitely leaning towards the Indica side of the gene pool! I'm holding off on deciding whether or not to top them, but will make a decision in the next couple of days! Well there's two weeks of veg behind us now, Week Three of vegetation is beginning and they should really start to take off! 😍👍 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙
