Ok so far we have managed to save 2 plants from the dreaded hermie, both are doing really well I’m satisfied that they are ok. Ph runoff is 5.8, feeding 5.8 so no buffering in the coco, no salts buildup. I have more than a feeling that the hermie problem was my fault. Ph pen was out of calibration. By a lot. They were being fed somewhere in the vicinity of ph 2.5-3 daily for about a week, I should have realised when ph lower started increasing but didn’t. We learnt the hard way. Have ordered a Vivosun aerolush c08 to help with the higher temps we are experiencing hopefully it will do the job of the current portable air conditioner and dehumidifier and we can get that temp down to a max of 24 to help with everything that has not appeared yet like the trichomes. They look so lonely in that big tent but I have more than enough room now to have a seat and take some time to inspect

Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. I think I'm off by a week, it might be the end of the 3 week, but I'll leaves it like it is. It's sometimes hard to tell with outdoor plants , like autos, when they go into flowering, because when the plants go into their first week of flowering they don't show anything different.. It's in the second week that you can see a small difference. But I'll leave it like it is. OK. Got these girls into the main part of the greenhouse on Sun afternoon. Bent a few branches and broke one. Put a few paper splints on a few bent branches but they will heal. Measured them yesterday to find the tallest Plant #4, at 80 inches and Plants #1 and #5 at about 70 inches. Plant #3 is definitely different looking, More indica in that one. Lots of resin and smell too. Plant #3 smell of sour and gas but I can smell the biscuit smell and it can be a bit earthy too. The others are all sativa looking plants, and will probably take longer to finish. Hoping for no white powdery mildew to show. I can see it on some other outdoor plants now but not in here yet. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

Fastest Flowering I have ever seen, some magic, quickly moved to Ripening

run#6 Week 2: --------------- I'll make this brief: My posts are pretty long. For the hasty reader: A friendly AI gets to sift through my very personal logs & notes, then drafts a competing weeks journal (usually on my expense). "The Terpene Front" is back - hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Extened notes the report was based on and personal ramblings follow down below, as per usual. Let's go! --------- PATHÉ DISPATCH — THE TERPENE FRONT, WEEK TWO [newsreel crackle, brass fanfare] GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. The great heat front of summer has RETREATED, and our correspondent ventures forth once more. DATELINE: BASE CAMP SIX. Three new specimens in tow: Pineapple; Mango Frost, of the F1 Frosts; and Gorilla Cookies, on her FOURTH expedition with this man and STILL willing. None of them, we stress, VOLUNTEERED. Last season’s Inline Fan returns to temperature duty, its summer disgrace forgiven. The radiator has NOT been invited. [ominous timpani] THE LONG POLAR NIGHT. For days the specimens languished at FIFTY-FIVE micromoles, a twilight so dim they stretched toward it like explorers crawling toward a distant lantern. The cause? Our correspondent measured the lamp’s HEIGHT. He placed his thermometers WITH CARE. And then he forgot to turn up the LIGHT. Again. Then came SUNRISE, a ramp so steep the specimens went straight from polar night to MIDNIGHT SUN: twenty-four hours a day, no sunset. Mango responded by refusing to grow taller AT ALL. The height charts have recorded the whole affair for POSTERITY. BENEATH THE CAMP: HOT SPRINGS. Probes buried in the soil read twenty-four degrees. Our man now carries ICE down to the roots by hand, a polar party in reverse. AND THE WEATHER? He has begun MANUFACTURING HIS OWN. One fan blows wind. A SECOND fan has been engaged solely to interrupt the FIRST: five minutes on, fourteen off. Meteorology, ladies and gentlemen, has never been so DOMESTIC. [record scratch] BUT NOW, THE DISCOVERY THAT SHOOK BASE CAMP. Before departure, our correspondent undertook a GREAT SURVEY of soil itself: component by component, EC by EC, pH offset by pH offset. He searched the land for one humble thing, soil WITHOUT fertilizer. Every outfitter’s soil came pre-loaded, even the SEEDLING mixes. He studied so deeply, we are told, that the word “soil” LOST ALL MEANING to him. And then, exhausted and scholarly, armed with more knowledge of the earth than is strictly healthy, he walked into a shop and bought... PRE-FERTILIZED VEGETABLE SOIL. Three-three-three. He did, in fairness, CUT IT with his own components, a gentleman’s dilution. Then he BEDDED THE INFANTS IN IT. It was not diluted ENOUGH. The seedling nests ran HOT. Nutrients piled up, and nobody could say WHICH ones. The pH sat on the wrong side of the border. Leaves faded pale, and Mango DROOPED, a droop that looked like too much water but was likely too LITTLE. [stern voiceover] What saved them? Not the survey, and not the spreadsheets. It was a HANDFUL OF MIXED DIRT at the edge of each nest, a soft border worked in by pure reflex, so the roots could wander outward without striking a wall. Science, rescued by HOUSEKEEPING. [timpani, softer] And now, cautious HOPE. Chlorophyll-B returns, fresh and minty BLUE-GREEN. Pineapple leads the party, a CHAMPION. Cookies hung back shyly, then SUDDENLY caught up, precisely when Mango took the lead in SUFFERING. And Mango stands upright again in a lime-grass green of her own choosing. Our correspondent has made them a promise. After fourteen days beneath a sun that never sets, there will be... a NIGHT. [fanfare, film flickers out] THIS HAS BEEN A DISPATCH FROM THE TERPENE FRONT. READ YOUR SOIL BAGS. GOODNIGHT. ------------------------------ What this was based on: run#6 week 2: Hot Seedling Nests ------------------- The metal inserts you see near the pot centers roughly mark the size of the seedling nests. Often, when starting a new cycle, I find myself scrambling for seedling nests components in hindsight, ringing up people to check out their garden soils because there is an emergency. run#6 was different: After what felt like days of looking for unfertilized soil online, I knowingly borrowed a pre-fertilized 3/3/3 product because I finally needed "something". Every shop had pre-fertilized mixes, even the seedling soils were full of them. Instead, while working on nutrient curves, I tunneled into classifying soil components, their individual EC and pH offsets and nutrient compositions. I was completely baffled and brick-walled by the complexity. I was hoping to elegantly side-step my unsuccessful product searches by "cooking up" some seedling nests from raw materials I had, but greatly under-estimated what there is to learn about "soil", a word that had just lost all meaning for me. So, rather than trying to start a soil business, I borrowed some general purpose vegetable soil and tried to thin it out a little with the components I use. That was a huge mistake. It easily resulted in a few days lost from the valuable seedling-veg phase, but it only slowly dawned on me why. The seedling nests were too "hot" still, my fairly conservative nutrient cocktail already seemed to cause symptoms akin to nutrient lock-out. Some stuff seemed to accumulate and I did not know which. K, Ca, Mg and N were the likely culprits, when P deficiency symptoms could be cured within days by upping the dosage. But even worse: I completely forgot about the fact that my medium's pH differed greatly from the seedling nests components. An offset of at least +0.3 was needed - this entire time. So I started eye-balling my daily pH values in accordance with the transitional phase, when roots slowly explore their new home medium. Thankfully, the high biology contents caused better pH buffering in the nests - so that zone was fairly stable - just in the wrong kinda way ... Things that likely saved my butt: - No hard seedling nest - medium boundaries. Every nest had a transitional zone worked in, mixing a bit of both before establishing a core. This almost automatic move growers make made a big difference. The roots could discover gradually without ever hitting an "acid wall of fog". - pH differences were noticed late for spectacular results, but meaningfully early. I would up the pH when the roots were just contained in the nests, and gradually transition towards my medium's pH as they grew outwards. Or, at least, that's what I hoped would happen. But uncle Pete has some tricks up his sleeves: To help move nutrients towards the leaves when the roots barely could, I improved my good old foliar spray - originally designed to help with Far Red expansion stress. Bypassing root feeding with a daylight-only spray really helps, when poor visibility and low hanging scrog nets are our enemies at night. It delivers some Ca, Mg, but plenty of micro-nutrients fairly close to where they are needed, when the roots have other problems to deal with. (Also, I am secretly leaf-feeding a plant in the living room that I accidentally treated like a gold fish.) Quick, additional facts: ------------------- - Mango's watering was a challenge, drooping indicated larger problems, soil sensors disagree with cultivar? - I quickly recovered my PPFD ramp, cultivars basically told me when to stop increasing. Mango had a personal "cloud" when recovery was tough. See impact on size in the heights chart. - Climate is really stable, I am happy and focused on randomizing wind patterns instead, also upping transpiration for plants - Chlorophyll-B production finally underway, towards the end of week 2. Fresh, juicy blue and minty green hues intermingle with an exhausted-chlorophyll / mild nutrient-lockout yellow wash on all cultivars. Pineapple recovered and started producing healthy greens first, Cookies followed the lead shyly, Mango confirmed capability under "competing priorities". - Cookies suddenly decided to catch up in height, after Mango took the lead in suffering for the week - Medium temps are not amazing, reaching up to 24°C. Ice-pack cooling is back to lower nutrient solution temp to 12°C, then misting in slowly to arrive at 18°C for longer durations - several hormone-proximity-mines have been deployed in my medium, for roots to discover ... ---------- Thanks for checking out my journal, stay healthy! - Pete

Clones looking surprisingly good. The mother plant they spawned from was destroyed in veg due to gnat infestation from poor conditions on my part, however clones were taken while she was healthy and thriving. Sorry for the pic quality, the tent is getting crowded during the stretch and it's hard to get single shots of 1 plant because of the trellis. Lesson learned for me personally, stick with 1-2 different strains per tent up to a 4x4.

14-02-2026 I killed my Lamb’s Bread. The balls were everywhere and I don’t have the energy to remove them all and check her everyday for new ones. Unfortunately she pollinated my Afghani, quite a few pistils turned brown. My chickens will be happy, they love the hempseeds. I juiced my entire plant and drank it. Who knows, maybe it will do something good for me.

easy strain, havent tried it yet, watch out for humidity, Great experience, my first grow. 100% recommended for beginners. Thanks for everything growdiaries.

Boom! Touchdown! I let her dry for 13 days before the trim. The humidity in the grow tent was maybe a bit lower than what I usually prefer, but I wanted to be extra cautious against budrot in the other plant drying in the same tent. It was a breeze to trim her and the final result was 84.4 grams of pure flower with no larf at all. In fact, I didn't even bother keeping the trim as there wasn't all that much of it.

Última semana y esta planta ya se ve que dió todo de si. De estatura baja y estructura ratificada, con flores densas y con un color hermoso y profundo. Se ha cubierto de tricomas blanquecinos y ámbar que desprenden un olor a fruta ácida y dulce como las fresas y un frescor muy característico. Ya en dos días se viene el corte así que les estaré informando. Buenos humos! 👽

Hi guys i am wondering with this fastbuds strain.West coast og will yield much and its dense and potent.next week i will start to flush with advanced nutrition flawless finish. Thank you all.

trimmed them up little topped at 3 nodes on main and others. Defoliation little by little over time.

i love how this strain doesnt take up much space and still brings heavy yields on short plants.

The harvest went well, I left it in the dark for 2 days before cutting it. drying 12 days at 60% humidity the smell is crazy, I can't wait to taste it

Using 2 seeds in a luke warm water shotglass. Placing in cupboard to germinate. Day1: Nothing yet Day2: One of the seeds started to sprout. Showing it's sexy little tail. I'll monitor the growth in the next 24hrs and then decide whether she's ready for the sproutling pot or not. Day3: Tails were looking pretty good - forgot to take a photo :/ roughly 1cm for one of them, which is the one that I decided to plant. It really hurt when I chucked the other seed, but I really only need one plant. Soil mix for the sproutling: Coco Coir - 70%, Vermiculite - 15%, Perlite - 15%. I also added Greenhouse Feeding "BioGrow" and Mycorrhiza. The picture was taken from my RPi + Cam setup that will be taking 2 photos/min. I'll post the timelapse at the end of the day. Day4: Running the whole day in the tent with ventilation running minimally. Light only at 20%. No action, so I deleted all the pictures except for the last one taken before the lights went out. Day5: No activity above the soil level. Probably spent the whole day focusing on root growth. Day6: At around 09:20 I watered again and with this uncovered the first signs of life! The rest of the day was mostly uneventful - until the evening. Roughly 2hrs before lights-out she started to move. Day7: Things starting to look really good :)

Week 3 💨🔥 4 out of 5 topped 👌 Waiting on 1 to kick on abit before topping or anything, I may just let her do its own thing and train the other 4 but well see Now we wait for some more growth on the nodes and then begin some LST 👽🏆

It was week 13 2 days ago iv just not had much spare time but here is a small video that will make you feel drunk. things are going as good as i can get for now they all just had a quick water. untill next time take it easy peeps... Ps does anyone know who has a good dawg not the nast horrible types that tast mouldy lol thanks

Finishing up week 1 all of them but one have made it above soul except lot o bear by fox genetics .. germinated fine but just a late bloomer .. water with very little water not nutrients at all yet

Madame se porte bien, légère baisse de croissance depuis le changement de tente et ainsi une carence/excès que j’arrive pas à identifier mais ce n’est pas très grave dans l’ensemble J’ai fait un peux de bondage pour écarter les apex et commencer à lui donner la forme que je veux Faudra que le lui mette un humidificateur pour améliorer le vpd et un ventilateur pour lui apporter de l’air frais Ça va devenir un bon gros buisson à l’avenir!
