6.4.25: FastBuds Mystery Seed #1: She has been topped twice and is looking pretty strong ๐Ÿ’ช She has grown vertically, and leaves are always praying. Possibly too much light, so I have turned the dimmer down to about 90%. There are slight bleached tips on a couple of top leaves. I'm hoping to do the same LST with garden wire here very soon. Overall, the plant has nice big, fat leaves. Seemingly lush colour and vigorously growing since the double toppings. Very nice plant so far. ๐Ÿ‘Œ 13.4.25: This week has been so busy in the garden! I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! ๐Ÿ˜… 14.4.25: I have been super busy with all the other harvests in the past several days, so this is a little late. FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has been topped twice and the growth has been thick and lush. I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I watered about 2 litres to each plant. I have been using wire, clips, and Bio stretch fabric plant ties to LST the plant. The plant has reached the 8 Gallon pot perimeter. The plant is in the first week of flower. I'm hoping to keep the canopy even with my RQS Northern Lights grow as I need to be able to compare the plants accurately for the experiments. I did snap off a branch, again the day after I said I'd be very careful ๐Ÿ˜– The plant is very resilient though, and you wouldn't know anything happened at all, minus one of the first tops is missing. Thankfully I topped twice, so I still have 5 tops. Training Techniques used this week are LST and defoliation. I watered on 13th and 14th with the following solution; 4 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained: โ™ก 8 ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids โ™ก 1/2 Teaspoon Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients. PPM: 1000. 2 litres were given on two consecutive days. I watered in a top dress, which I will add what I used here, but it was another mess up, I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear ๐Ÿ˜… Top dress: 4 gallons containing approximately: 50% Canna Terra Mix soil 25% Worm Castings 23% Perlite 2% Organic Dry Amendments, which were; โ˜† Ecothrive Life Cycle โ˜† Ecothrive Charge โ˜† Diatomaceous Earth โ˜† Ground Cinnamon โ˜† RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules I used the top dress amount for established plants for a pot size of 30L / 8 Gallons. I'm not keen on the soil. I was supposed to get Canna Coco but I got sent Canna Terra in error. It was overdue for a top dress and I had nothing else to use. I don't like it in comparison. Coco is best for my needs. It's much fluffier, lighter, and easier to work with. Thanks for hanging out ๐Ÿƒ โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ™‚

Lets go. This is my old stealth boomgrowbox. Led is 47w 3000k and cost 13โ‚ฌ. Computer fan is sucking air trough carbonfilter. Filter is years old but still keep most of the smells. Inside dimensions are 36x40x120cm. I grow different strains with same setup every time so let see what strain takes victory in this battle. Plan is Seed to water for 24h and straight in to the middle of 6-7L sub-irrigation pot. I think this pot gives most equal watering for each fighter. Dome for until it breaks the surface. LST begin at day 15. No defoliation. First grow basicly set the rules. Let see how it goes when we get that far ๐Ÿคฃ Soil is from local shop. With mykorhiza. 80%soil 20%perlite. Clay pebbles over after dome moves away. As nutrients we have Terra aquatica drypart grow/bloom/late bloom. Be there on he squirrel. Ps. I am pretty sure going to kill couple Girls cause im so bad at growing in soil. Just let me know what im doing wrong. With High Hopes ๐Ÿ€

## ๐ŸŒฟ Week 19 The jungle is rising: (Flowering week 2 starts now) โ€“ The Power of the Perfect Root Zone & Controlled Feeding Welcome to Week 19! This run is proving to be a masterclass in how much difference a proper transplanting schedule and a restrained nutrient approach can make. The setup is thriving, and we have a very surprising plot twist in the tent this time! Letโ€™s take a virtual step inside the jungle and look at the magic! ๐ŸŽฌ๐Ÿ‘‡ ### ๐Ÿ”Ž What You See Inside the Jungle (Visual Update) If you peek into the tent right now, the first thing that hits you is a beautifully structured, deep green sea of leaves with an incredible architectural layout: * **The Plot Twist: A High Society Takes the Crown! ๐Ÿ‘‘** In a complete reversal from my first run, a **High Society plant sitting right in the center has become the most dominant, aggressive grower in the tent!** To keep the canopy uniform and manage her explosive energy, I spent this week actively tucking and weaving her branches into the Scrog net. By bending her dominant tops horizontally into the grid, I successfully flattened her profile, giving the surrounding plants the crucial time and light they need to catch up and level out the canopy. * **The Lower Architecture (The "Tree Trunks"):** Looking under the hood, the training this run has been clean and precise. The lower sections look like well-manicured bonsai trunks. The stalks are incredibly thick and woody, providing a massive highway for nutrients. Every single lower fan leaf and weak node has been systematically cleared out (lollipopping), leaving a pristine, well-ventilated under-canopy where the automatic drip irrigation lines are locked into place. * **The Switch Dimensions & Canopy Balance:** During the switch to flowering, the genetic differences were initially clearโ€”the Zupernova stretched to around **110 cm** and the High Society clones averaged **90 cm**. But with the center High Society pushing the limits and being woven into the net, the white Trellis grid is doing a phenomenal job keeping this jungle perfectly balanced. * **Pure Health:** The wireless sensor sits right on top of the canopy, bathing in the intense glow of the LEDs. The foliage looks pristineโ€”a vibrant, healthy light-to-mid green sheen with absolutely zero clawing, zero nutrient spots, and zero burnt tips. The first flower clusters are forming beautifully at every single tip. ### ๐ŸŽ›๏ธ The Golden Strategy: What Made the Difference This Run #### 1. Perfect Root Evolution (No Stagnation) Looking back at the root photos from transplanting, the root balls were pristine, bright white, and incredibly dense. Moving step-by-step (12 cm $rightarrow$ 11L $rightarrow$ 30L $rightarrow$ Final 35/45L) allowed the root system to thoroughly colonize each container. There are no unestablished "dead zones" or soggy pockets in the soil this time. #### 2. Natural Deficiencies Solved via Repotting So, early on, the hungry Zupernova showed a little hint of magnesium deficiency (you know, that classic yellowing between veins on the middle leaves). Instead of freaking out and dumping chemicals or Epsom salts into the soilโ€”which totally messes with the ECโ€”I just let the scheduled transplanting do its thing. The fresh soil immediately fixed the problem naturally, and the color came back in a few days. #### 3. Super Strict "Less-is-More" Nutrient Control I've been **super careful with fertilizers** this whole time. Last time, adding too many nutrients too early in pre-amended soil caused a huge EC buildup when the plants started flowering. That led to osmotic blockages where the plants literally dried up from the inside out right after I flushed them in wet pots. This time, the EC in the soil is perfectly balanced. Since the pots are packed with active, hungry roots, the automatic drip irrigation system works flawlessly, and the soil dries out beautifully and evenly. ### ๐ŸŒค๏ธ Climate & Parameters * **Light:** My main LEDs are locked at the perfect height, giving a strong, even light spread across the whole canopy without creating hot spots. * **Irrigation & Sensors:** The wireless sensors track the climate right at the growth tips. The automatic drip lines ensure a precise dry-back cycle. The tops are stretching perfectly through the grid, the center dominance is beautifully managed, and the first flower formations are setting up for an epic harvest. Lesson learned: Give the roots space, manage the canopy with the net, and go easy on the nutrients! Let me know what you think of this center-weaving strategy in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐ŸŒฒ

First grow Auto strains : Ak auto (1) Kush Auto (x3) General hydroponics nutes.(1/2 strength) hps+led total of 815 watts. DWC 18-6 lights LST+topping on 2 plants. LST on 2 plants anything else you want to know hit me up. my leaves were a little dry so i moved my led to 28 inches my latest time lapse shows explosive growth after topping------- about 20 hour time lapse.

Week 8: Day 50-53: Things are looking ok here, could be better. Still assuming my soil is too acidic certain nutrients to lock out. I now believe what I thought was a calmg deficiency on 4AM#1 was actually a phosphorous lockout in combination with the aforementioned calmg. Day 50 I watered with PH 6.5 and got runoff around 5.5 PH. 4AM#3 was visibly worse off, and no real improvements to the other 2 either(both had signs of calmg deficiency in combination with various other small deficiencies it seemed like). Day 54-56: Seeing no real improvements in any of the 3 plants I decided I would flush them on with 6.5 PH'd water only with regulator until runoff read atleast 6PH. After about 4-5L the runoff was 6+PH, seemed to me like there was a slight build up in the bottom so the first 3L cleared that up quite nicely(runoff was around 5.7). I then fed them 2-2.5L feeding of calmg and regulator with some Biocanna Boost PD'd to 6.5 immediately after flushing. Runoff was pretty much 6.3-6.5 on all plants at this point. I think I am happy with the results of the small flush, this IS my first time indoors(last summer first time was outdoor and I never really dealt with deficiences), so not sure if what I did was correct, I just went with my gut feeling here. Anyway on day 56 now and they haven't gotten any worse, and the leaves feel healthier to the touch. Also seem to be liking the addition of the 150W COB, also decided to lower the lights and see if they could take it(they could). End of Week 8: I don't think I will get more much bulk on 4AM#1 but daaamn is she frosty as hell. 4AM#2 on the other hand is bulking up real nice, those are going to be some fat buds! And 4AM#3 seems to be a slower finishing pheno and seems like she will bulk up loads more, going to be a beast I reckon if the deficiencies didn't stunt her from the last 2 weeks(leaves felt dry and showed yellowing and spots, but are doing better and feel better after the flush).

The papaya pancakes tester is looking good! I topped three days ago and have been watering regularly with a single feed since last update. I added in some canopy side lighting that has some red spectrum diodes as I am not happy that the light in this tent is so far into the blue spectrum. The girls a trucking along nicely and I'll flip to flower by next update!

We back with some buckets! Time to fire up the pumps and get this show on the road. Soaked this beautiful little gem of a bean in some water until it cracked then threw it into the bucket with 100% perlite. Started them on a low dose of maxigro on day 3. Doing these diy Dutch Bucket style as always. Going to be running 8 in house genetics strains on the system with constant 24 hour a day irrigation. Not much exciting going on yet, but with a little luck that may change pretty soon. A huge thanks to @wildeweed for this little truffle.

01/01/2022 Potting up and amending with 5-2-4 to give a little kick before mid flower #6 is first girl to show herself, also got two different males and only difference is that one is lighter green and other darker green (also dark green one seems to drink more than lighter green) ๐Ÿ’š. Other than that structure is very similar I wonder which is a better breeding male? I guess I might pollinate and LABEL TWO BRANCHES ON each female one for each male. and find out.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป 01/06/2022 #3 showed today, reppoted and into flowering closet, along with#6,who showed earlier this week lights at 14-10 see how they respond to that schedule, which should help use up the 5-2-4 going into week 3 should help with her stretch. Which isn't really that much I believe maybe double her current height, which I will check at lights on.Week ,#3 if I think of it I'll give a good fungal dominant tea.
