How ya doing mates?? Awesome week last week - all photos and logs have been added so be sure to check it out! This week is going great so far! I've switched to an early vegetative state nutrient system. As you'll see in the daily logs early this week, this bumps up the micro and grow nutes, and keeps the bloom at 0.6ml/gal. A quick note about last week - I'm unable to update the measurements, but please note that those nutrient amounts are measured in ml/gal, NOT ml/l. Anyhow, this week I'm just waiting to get my order of diatomaceous earth so that I can make up another batch of soil. I'm still debating between topping this week before repotting or letting them take root in the new pots first. Decisions decisions lol. I think at the very least I'll clean up some of the lower growth to make sure the energy is being spent at the right places. I've been switching back and forth between just LST and mainlining in the past - but I think I really like the ease and cleanliness of mainlining. The draw back is the recovery time they take in the process haha. UPDATE: The D.E. has come in, and I repotted the girls this week. I mixed in about 1.5-2 cups D.E. for the whole pot, as well as some Bat Guano and Kelp Meal for micro and macro nutrients to use on dry cycles. I've also included some photos of the mother plant to give an idea of what's to come! I've just started to flower it, which is the first time for this strain - so I'm pumped! Day 15: M.C. 01-21 After reviewing the last set of photos from last week, I figured I'd play it safe and dimmed the light back down to 25% strength. The mother plant is almost ready for flower, and I'm down some tents so she'll be taking this one over shortly. These photos were taken shortly after the lights went off, and they look quite happy! You can see some of the side branch developement in today's photo for MC-01. The pots are fairly dry now, and I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. M.C. 02-21 A nice top photo for MC-02, you can really see the lighter green in this photo. Not to worry though, as these will darken back to a vibrant green as long as I give her what she needs shortly! The pots are fairly dry now, and I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. M.C. 03-21 Look at that little leaf poking out from the 2nd node! Some slight yellowing you can see too, but again, not to worry. The new mix should rectify that. I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. Day 16: M.C. 01-21 Today is the day - for the mother! I've cleared out some space and moved plants around. So back out to the grow room these girls go! MC-01 seems much better today with the reduction in light. The 5th node is almost flattened out and the 6th coming through still. Most notably though, you can really see the work she's put into the side branches! The branches at nodes 2 and 3 are starting to produce more leaves - great sign! The new growth at the top is also a nice dark green. Added 500ml water to the tray. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 seems to have liked the adjustment of light as well. She's got nice dark green growth at the top, and the little branches at the 2nd node seem to have a full leaf! Added 500ml water to the tray. M.C. 03-21 The photo from today is cool, because you can see how close MC-01 & 03 are, even though there's almost a full node difference. MC-03 is stretch out a bit to compete with her sister for the light haha. She's also put some more effort into the side branches that you can see. Added 500 ml water to the tray. Day 17: M.C. 01-21 I figured a video would be the best way to illustrate the changes today! They've been back in the grow room under the Veg dedicated light for a day now and seem to be loving it! MC-01 has its' 5th node out, splitting the 6th node, and I can JUST see the 7th node coming in. I don't think they'll get too much more height, as you can see that the side branches are starting to stretch now! She's definitely going to be well tangled in the roots by the end of the week when I hope to repot her. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 is doing great despite the difference in height! You'll notice the side branches stretching out at nodes 2 & 3. The pots are also still fairly wet at their center, so I'll hold off on water most likely. At least this clone will have time to root more while we wait for the supplies! M.C. 03-21 MC-03 also has great side branching! If you take a look at the group photo from today, you'll see that both MC-01 & 03 are practically the same height, but MC-03 snuck in there by the stretch haha. Day 18: M.C. 01-21 My order of D.E. came in last night, perfect timing! As you can see, her roots have fully reached the bottom, and have started to migrate upwards with the water that's absorbed. The soil was a little dry for my liking, which made things a little difficult/dusty but still no mishaps! Watered around the root-zone before covering with more soil to keep the gnats down. M.C. 02-21 Not quite as much lateral root growth as MC-01, but still plenty enough for a repotting! Her soil was a little dry as well. Ideally I should have given them a light misting from the top of the soil and let is drip down to keep the dusty bits together haha. M.C. 03-21 Nice and thick root growth, no issues with repotting, and strong stalk. The extra spacing in the nodes may prove to be helpful during the training phase. Day 19: M.C. 01-21 Some nice top shots today as they slowly get acclimated to their new homes. Once I see them push out a new node, I'll probably top them. This is to make sure that they're taking to the new pot without causing any extra stress before they can take it. Today I watered them with an early veg nutrient. I like to stay cautious with nutrient boosts since they're in soil - not to mention the added nutrients from the repotting. M.C. 02-21 Top shots for the girls today. Not much change, but also no immediate signs of shock either, so I'll take it. M.C. 03-21 You can't really see it in this angled shot, but the small branch at the second node is coming along nicely! I think the girls are happy that they each have their own tray not haha. Day 20: M.C. 01-21 Definitely noticing some slow changes to the top nodes when comparing the pictures from the previous day. The leaves are slowly starting to separate, and I'm not noticing too much yellowing yet which is good. Watered with 500ml water to keep water migrating upwards to meet the roots. M.C. 02-21 Not noticing much change in this girl today, but that's okay. She's most likely focusing on the root developement instead which I can't complain about! Watered from the bottom. M.C. 03-21 Maybe seeing some separation in the top leaves, however more notably are the small branches at the 2nd node that you can see better here. Still a bit of stretching with them as they get longer. I might even keep them on for clones later on. Watered from the bottom. Day 21: M.C. 01-21 Looks like she gained some distance last night, as the top node is now above the fan leaves, unlike 2 days ago. I'm really getting eager to top them, as I don't want them to waste too much time and energy growing tissue that I'll just end up cutting off. I'll be bumping the nutrients up starting next week to keep the progress going, moving to a mid-veg stage shortly. I'm going to let things dry up tonight for a fresh boost of water tomorrow to give it a dry cycle as the pot is still a bit heavy. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 really worked hard last night it seems, as she almost completely flatted out her top leaves! I think she's ready for a topping, but I'll let her benefit from the headstart and let the other two catch up and root before. dry cycle for her tonight as well. M.C. 03-21 MC-03 was busy last night too and is now slowly flattening out the top node as well! Maybe tonight they'll have enough progress to go topless afterall haha. Dry cycle in prep for watering tomorrow.

In this first cycle published on the site, I did the ScrOG technique for the first time, and honestly I am quite happy with the final result😊 The plants performed very well both in vegetation and in the flowering phase.👌 The only "anomaly" was a beautiful flower affected by fasciation (called "Stewie" by me😄) I hope you enjoyed this diary and that it will be useful for you in the future!😎

📆 Week 12, 7-12 July 2024 Harvest 8 July - Turned light power down to 25%. Changed nutrient solution to RO water to begin flush. 11 July - Harvest 12 July - Begin curing time. 📑 Harvest time! She is ripe, danky, sticky, full of resin, solid, and I am pleasently suprised at the yield. This is not your ordinary Auto Afghan variety. She produces heavy buds and a lot of them. This is also the first auto I have grown using DWC in 12 weeks without manipulation - 18 hours straight from start to finish. I pushed her to the limit. Now she will hang in the closet at 50-55% RH and 70 degrees F, for about 7-10 days curing. Then she will trimmed and put into one quart glass mason jars, with 62% Boveda TurpShield and burped until 62% RH is maintained. The full potency potential and terp profile will be reached in about 30-45 days. 📆 19 July 2024 The Smoq Report: After 7 days of hanging, she was ready to cut. I trim and shape each individual bud, removing unwanted leaf and stem. It’s a process but worth it if you smoke bud. Her potency is evident. It will take the experienced smoker to a satisfying high and keep you there for a good hour or more before you want another hit. The smell and taste is of a typical Afghan. I was expecting a heavier yield, but in the end I guess we all hope for a little more! Maybe next grow! 🍶 Nutrient solution changed to RO water 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🔆 Light power at 25%, DLI 20 canopy coverage at 18hrs 😤 Using PYPABL, Air Pump, 400GPH That is it for this grow. Thanks for following, reading and stopping by.

Hey growmies, another week and here we are. The flower structure as you can see in the pictures is crazy in this strain. Long colas l, filles with flowers. If this led fixture I'm using for the first time performs, im about to have baseball bats of weed. I'm hopping it knows there name is not only banana, but FAT too. The smells are sweet and fruity. The ec are at 0.95. 0.25 of the water plus 0.7. See you guys next week

7/27/2023- Prep Tent and system are cleaned and ready to go from my last grow. I have submitted my Journa for the Diary of the Month Competition here is to hopeing for good resutls. 7/28/2023- Germination Day 0- Seed initiation Well lets get this new Grow started.. So My Dad Sent me a custom Landrace Strain that he wanted me to grow out and Breed for him. The Strain is Called Black African Magic: Black African Magic, Alson known as BAM, is a Sativa pure land race strain, It's classified under the Cannabis Sative species and its genetics come from Africa-the Ituri Forest in the Dmocratic Repoublic of Congo. The Effects are said to be Very Psychedelic, used for Stress managment and for better sleep and rest. This is my frist Land Race so we, will see how this goes together.. RO Water Used Added Hydrogen Peroxided 8/1/2023- Germination Achieved G-Day1 Popped her head above the root riot today to say hello.. Woot first challenge when dealing with an unknown seed and a new Strain is getting the seed to pop and the lady to show life. 8/2/2023- Germination Day 2 Took the root riot out today and it was soaked not good plant drowing again. I am still having a hard time finding the right blance for where the water should be to keep the root riot moist and not soaked. I had to drain some of the water out of the root riot plug to help give a little oxygen. I also removed some of the water. 8/3/2023- Germination Day 3 Looking good stretching her leaves out to let in the lights 8/4/2023- Germination Day 4 Looking good a few days until I put them into the RDWC System and get this thing rocking and rolling. 8/5/2023- Germinaiton Day 5 Looking good will probably plant tomorrow if the roots are still looking good. 8/6/2023- Plant Day- Germination Day 6 Planted into the RDWC System today. Joy when they go into the system as long as we dial that in right this will now be a great grow.. Survived the hard part.. 8/7/2023- Germination Day 7 Everything looks like it is going good, she is showing some damage on the lower leaves from the over watering in the cloning machine but right now I don't see any new damage. 8/8/2023- Germination Day 8 Added the first Nutes today, to help support root growth and to help give there first jump to growth. TPS SILICA GOLD-.5mil/Gal Root Drip- 1mil/Gal GH FLoraMicro-1mil/Gal GH FlroaGro-1mil/Gal GH FLroaBloom-1Mil/Gal ORCA-.5mil/Gal 8/9/2023 - Germination Day 9 Everything is looking good new growth looks like it is praying and they are looking happy. I will take off the damage leaves probably tomorrow. 8/10/2023- Germination Day 10 She looks like she is on track the roots are starting to come out of the basket very small but starting. 8/11/2023- Germination Day 11 Cleaned up the dead leaves... Day 1 VEG tomorrow.. Water Change Day and first real meal...

This has been smooth sailing this week.. plants needing minimal attention, gave a foliar feed with a weak cal/mag/nitrogen mix. Am about to drop the tank and flush for a day and then redose with nutes. Trialing a bi-weekly flush this time.. see how it goes.

Day 29: Pre-flowering did start. Changing now to Hesi Nutrients. Watered them with 1,25 l. Since they are not dried completely out. Wanted to boost them into flower now! Letting them dry out now to the half of total weight. I'm a bit nervous about the nutrients cocktail though. :) Day 32: music for plants: "Jules Reidy - Trances" "Cousin - HomeSoon" "Yara Asmar - synth waltzes and accordion laments"

They are doing fine and are stinking nice. Smells like cookies rite now not sure if that’s gonna change! I didn’t take much off during the pruning process so whatever popcorn buds can be used in the press. Took clones and plant to use one as a Mom plant, wish me luck!

Ok, I'm back and the plants seem to be doing fine. Bit dry and maybe hungry at some points but overall just dandy. Gave them a good one two and removed any dead/dying leaves and fertilized them. This should be it till the end I think. All the herbs are dead as my buddy did not water them only the weed plants, but also forgot to water the smaller weed plants in the baby containers. Gave them about 1L after 5 days and 1.5L after another 5days. wanted it to be on the lower vs the over side of things. Will know more in the next Few days once they drink everything up. the CBD and CBG plants are looking strong. the THCv ones are looking toasted and done. curious if they will need to be harvested before the rest.

Pues terminando las entradas de los cinco diarios de la temporada y he dejado para el final, la Tropicanna Poison Fast de Sweet Seeds...y como podéis ver algo aquí es muy distinto tanto a las fotodependientes cuanto a las automáticas. Las fast son en mi opinión, una "tierra de nadie" y aún habrá que evolucionar en lo que las genéticas de estas F1, terminan expresando en sus grows Primera de las evidencias. Son raras en su expresión de vegetativo y os explico, solo las Fast en indoor te pueden regalar hojas fan con casi 20 centímetros cada una, pero ojo al dato, no solo una de estas hojas y si un montón de ellas. O sea que el diseño genético de esta cepa F1, te lanza hojas primarias gigantes como si fueran paneles lumínicos y co o si con ellos quisieran chuparse todas las áreas de luces que puedan estar en un armario grow. Otra característica que me tiene patidifuso y que es sencillamente el grosor de tallos, el central es como un árbol y las inserciones de hojas primarias son tremendas en tamaño. Esta F1 tiene una característica que me ha sido posible registrar y que es no haber una definición clara de una cola principal...son ramas que a espacios fueron compitiendo en el particular del aprovechamiento de la posición de los paneles de luces y lo que ha pasado es que nonçe he puesto una malla SCROG, pero el grow por "voluntad" propia generó como que un nivelamento de sus ramas y es casi como ver que este grow tiene como media docena de colas. Los primeros señales de floración son muy específicos, con el grow sacando pistilos tremendamente grandes, lo que representará a la postre cogollos que serán al menos en el tope, también gigantes y todo en este grow Fast es sobredimensionado...es como si fuese una planta gigante y es ya muy claro que por su tamaño existirán internudos muy apartados, pero por la estructura cada punto donde haya floración, habrá un cogollo de dimensiones muy grandes y la pregunta del millón es "que esperar de algo así?"...siempre tendremos unos cogollos rojos y con mucha carga psicoactiva o será esta Tropicanna Poison F1, como una otra también de Sweet Seeds y también F1, que fue la S.A.D. (la afgana delicious) y que fue uno de los humos que menos me gustó (ya os comenté que fue un humo sin mucha imaginación, muy a los aromas y sabores a hachis de toda la vida; y con cogollos no muy buenos en densidad, pese a su tamaño. Y esa es mi reflexión final de la semana, serán las F1 ya plantas que sus genéticas son lo suficiente estables, para que salga algo especial. Para mí, que una F1 pueda llegar a término, dos semanas antes de una fotodependiente nunca ha sido la principal idea en desarrollarlas y aún necesito entender si lo que pasa con las Fast es algo como ese chiste de dos amigos que tenían cada uno un burro y decidieron crear descendencia y uno tenía un burro macho muy grande pero poco empeñado en trabajar y otro tenía la burra, que era pequeña pero muy dispuesta al trabajo y en lo que pararon, el burro nacido que esperaron que fuera grande y muy fuerte para trabajar, les salió casi un "perro" o sea un burro enano y que el curro no le gustaba ni un poco...así que mi pregunta sobre las F1 es un poco, que "burro" nos sale en regla en estos grows??? Las F1 heredan que características por lo general?!? Dudas tengo y no son pocas y como ya os había comentado, a las Fast quizás sea esta la oportunidad de oro para que me decante, por si sigo haciendo apuesta en ellas o las dejo de una vez y en este momento, solo el tiempo podrá decirlo. 420 siempre y el Dios Jah siempre con todos los hermanos growers!

Planta resistente, de estructura mayormente indica, con una producción importante de resina. Planta de rápido desarrollo que tolera bien el estrés provocado por el topping, LST y frío. Altura media, con flores realmente densas y duras, tal como prefiero, avanzando en la floración dejará ver colores rojizos que deslumbrarán. Se desarrolló muy parecido a una Gelato que crecí del mismo banco. Un desarrollo fuerte y rápido para terminar brindando hermosos brotes que desprenden sabrosos aromas dulces y lucen una apariencia de dispensario innegable!. Sin duda buen trabajo de Fast Buds en estas genéticas.

They been changing colors and thinking up I finally upgraded my light got a spider farmer 2000 and a 1000 in my 2x4 now so they should take off and get a lot beefier I been adding nutes every feed no major problems waiting on my cal mag to come in the mail happy growing until next time peace update they are bulking up and trichomes is really popping now I tried out blackstrap molasses as a dollar spray just to see how it worked if you shop at fast buds use the discount code #kygrow and get you a 15%percent discount on the whole store and it’ll help me out along the way happy growing peace
