I threw some diatomaceous earth down to protect against bugs and then being the noob that I am I watered the medium. It's a little early but I started Lst this week and gave them a small dose of nutes

Week 2.I rearranged a few lights in my grow room to get rid of unnecessary lighting and I also moved my auto flowers to their own separate environment. Only about three more weeks left on the Auto’s and I’ll be done for now. I plan on using a harvest right freeze dryer to cure

The plants are coming along nicely for the most part. I have been finding bud rot in big mama... not much but I'm a little bit worried. I've been cutting it out when I find it. The trichomes are cloudy with sparse amber. The wind has been a concern the past week or so. I shared a video which kind of gives an idea of what we are dealing with. We are looking at harvest two weeks out - max. Maybe sooner. FFT2 is significantly behind the other varieties... fattening up more slowly.

They be stretching! Did a major defoliation this week and standard water change - pushing nutrients again!

XL is just about finished now cloudy with a few amber trichs and stems are struggling to hold their own weight up so I started the flush yesterday with aspirations to pull her in a few days . She’s just a beast this girl incredibly phat dense fruity buds with a real kick in the chest on exhale ( yes I’ve expressed dried a few nugs , I don’t care what anyone says I love smoking a bit of fresh weed ) , some of these buds are gonna be 3oz each dried it’s the epitome of an XL strain . Like I said a flush this week then she’s out . I couldn’t get her out for pics or to take pics of the orange coz the XL is just weighty and starting to bend under her own weight …best problems .

This plant is the most robust vigorous marijuana plant I have ever grown! It is absolutely insane. I thought she was done stretching and bushing out but boy was I wrong shes going to be over 6ft tall and almost 10ft around and it smells like I dropped the plant in a bucket of 1 year old skunk piss lol very much looking foward to this one

4/1/2023 Week 7- Day 1 of Veg (Day 59 overall) Water Change Day!!! Water was really low it was just above the hump in the Res cutting it close to not having enough water in the system to keep it going. They drank a lot making it close going the full 14 days. I am still going with the previous grows and adding 36 Gallons but even looking at the root I think the SILICA is working and the roots are further along at this point than in previous grows. This next two weeks will watch how much they drink and how low my Res starts getting, and will make a decision on changing the water weekly from here on out or still keep on the plan of every other week until Week 4 of Flower. Added 36 Gallons Mammoth SILICA= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil CALMAG= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil Root Drip= 1Mil/Gal = 36Mil FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal = 194Mil FloraGrow = 4.2Mil/Gal = 151Mil FloraBloom = 4.6Mil/Gal = 166Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil PPM= 536 PH=5.84 PPFD=500 Tent Temp= 76.5 Water Temp= 71.4 Humidity= 58% 4/2/2023 Week 7- Day 2 of Veg (Day 60 overall) Not much today, PH was at 5.81, I brought that back up to 5.90. I took care of some badly needed defoliation in each of the back sides .. I was able to see some really good clone material to use on the lower backside of each of the plants. I will be taking two clones from each to breed over the next few weeks depending on when I am going to flip them. 4/3/2023 Week 7- Day 3 of Veg (Day 61 overall) A little FIMing, A little Topping, and a Little bit of defoliation. Might have to take my clones during the week this week, I am trying to wait until Saturday to hit week 8 but again they are getting all over the place and I need to trim some of the sides and lower areas. 4/4/2023 Week 7- Day 4 of Veg (Day 62 overall) I decided to take my clones and clean up the lower half of the plants. I took 2 clones from each plant to go into the cloning machine. 4/5/2023 Week 7- Day 5 of Veg (Day 63 overall) Water Temp is sitting at 73. Right in my ideal range for my setup. Ideal range 70-74 My Temp Tent is my ideal zone75.6 Ideal for this grow 70-78 The lights are still waiting the switch to flower to get maxed out... The Humidity is coming in right at 60% I love it.. I took so much off yesterday I figure it was a good day to let them rest. 4/6/2023 Week 7- Day 6 of Veg (Day 64 overall) I needed to Defoliate some and I topped a little. The plants might force me to flip them soon. Next Wed is the 10 week mark half way through the 20 weeks. The net is Bingo... Which means that If/when the plants hit the net I will have to flip them. The Net is set to the max height that I can let them get based on the Breeders Stretch report 75%. 4/7/2023 Week 7- Day 7 of Veg (Day 65 overall) #3 is 22 inches Tall, #2 is 19 Inches Tall. Net is set at 24 inches. Net is also set as my Bingo point, if they hit the net then I have to flip no matter what to account for the Breeders recommended 75% Stretch allowance. I think I am going to have to flip right at the 10 week mark of the Competition which is Wed 12 Apr. I topped a little, I de-foliated a lot to start getting it ready for the anticipated Flip.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Gorilla Melon de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, las flores son bien compactas y van repletas de resina son muy pegajosas, tienen tonos verdes bonitos, y tiene unos aromas dulces y exóticos bastante marcados con toques terrosos. Es muy sencilla de cultivar, es de ciclo de 2 meses y medio, pero bien agradecida, tiene buenos satélites, de las que plante de fastbuds, podría decir que mi favorita hasta el momento. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Posting the phenos when I do them

Day 85, first day of Week 13. She gives off the most beautiful smell since today, wow, never smelled something like that 😍She is also still foxtailing like a freaky little monster, fading nicely. With her I'm a bit confused as to where I should be looking now, new foxtails trichomes or the older calxy behind the foxtails? Probably a mix. Read somewhere on Reddit, that they apparently pack on proper buds, so the foxtails get fat as well. I guess we will see. Happy days Day 87, checking trichomes everyday, still milky. She got more yellow since the last time I took pictures. Some of the foxtails have developed. Both plants got watered yesterday, with 2ml Flawless Finish. Smell still strong. Could be any day now aaaaaaaaaaaaah happy 😍 Day 88, at her daily trichome check she looked ready all of a sudden. Even on foxtails I see amber trichomes, funny mix actually, amber and clear 😁All over her buds she is a good 20% amber now. I think that should be fine for a Sativa. I chopped her and put her stem in a vase with ph water. A friend once told me a fairytale story, about how this does something good when compared with darkness. We will see, can't remember properly, it won't harm 🙏 She is a pleasant lady and weighs wet with stems 469g, which is more than my other wedding cake (244g). I guess that's great yeay. She is currently sitting in the drying tent together with wedding cake. Happy days Update Day 1 of Darkness in a vase full of water: She initially weighed 469g yesterday when I chopped her and put her in the vase. 16 hours later I had a little look inside the tent and checked the water in the vase, she drank quite a bit, about a quarter the amount. I weighed again and she now weighs 489g, not a big difference but still, I feel slightly sciency 👽Her buds seem sucked in and more dark but also more rich looking, if that makes sense. I also imagine some other parts to be more green, ok, I like it. Check for yourself in the pictures added, if you like. Exciting yeay

Week 10 done and dusted and I think she is getting closer.... she absolutely stinks so I'm staying out of the tent as much as I can so the pictures are getting less.... No problems to report everything seems to be going just as it should be. 1 question though is from the pics and videos I've posted when would you guys start the 2 week flush? Thanks for popping by people and happy growing 😊

D15. We're starting the third week, and neither of the girls looks all that great. The first girl is more prominent but has twisted leaves and even one burnt leaf. On the other hand, the second girl is considerably smaller and has interveinal chlorosis. I think it is pretty clear that neither likes the new top-dressing. It's my first time using castings from this local worm farm, but I doubt they are at fault. Instead, I think I f*cked up with a top-dressing too "hot" for such small plants. We'll see what happens... ------------------------------ D17. The first girl is definitely looking better, and I "believe" the second one also does. There's still hope! I wouldn't be concerned if these were photos, but with autos, any hiccups during veg can be devastating. ------------------------------ D21. We're at the end of the third week, and things are looking up. At least for the first girl, she looks better daily, and her new leaves aren't twisted. On the other hand, the second one has been smaller from day one, and she still looks like a runt with pale leaves. There isn't anything to report since I have simply left them alone to do their thing. DLI set to 25. -----------------------------

Late update! I got serious problem with technology and couldn't update my diaries.. After almost 1 month I'm here again to show you my running project! Pics are gonna be uploaded soon or later this weekend!

Scrog, 15-22

Report on flowering week 6: --------------------------- Buds become bigger and fatter with each day. With more and larger buds growing, more and more trichmes are produced so the scent is much more noticeable. Each pant is releasing its very own distinct scent. Lovely really! I'm drooling when just looking at these beauties.
