5/25: It rained again today for most of the day, but I managed to get back out there and take some photos after it let up. I also shot a short video early in the a.m while it was sprinkling and the lights were on... I heard that this strain flowers really fast, but I really don't think she can finish before June 21 (the summer solstice). The other two seedlings (FFT#6 and FFT#7) are in the same boat. The 5 clones outdoors might be able to finish before they get the signal to reveg. I may end up bringing as many of them as I can fit into my closet to finish and starting another batch of beans to grow outdoors this summer... 5/26 - 5/31: I did some training on her early in the week between rain showers, and foliar fed with Microlife maximum bloom formula. She's more than 36" across now... She was looking a little N deficient, so I assume the dry amendments have petered out. I top-fed her with another couple tablespoons of cavern culture and on the 31st, they were dry enough to feed them. I gave them big bloom, tiger bloom, grow big, beastie bloomz, silica, endoboost, signal, humic acid, liquid kelp/fish emulsion, and liquid molasses. It just feels so strange that I'll be harvesting outdoor photos in June!?! That's it for week 8-

Well this was quite an experience, from the nice box the dutch passions come in to the germination , vigours sprouts came about, and took well to transplant. Potted each of these into their own soil and peat mix, layered seven of each i think with perlite. they got CELLMAX soil, best soil I've ever used for sure, it's horticultural soil so it's been steamed meaning no pollutants and no pests. The room itself this time i had reworked a bit, still loads of bends on the tubes though, but had a proper intake this time with a fine mesh filter so nothing got into the room. Had the pots elevated only by the time flower came around same for the CO2 so I only had a few good weeks with it. Didn't kill the plants though, so I'll review using it in my Six shooter diary, check it out . Anyway these plants veged out , and in the first weeks had the light too high for how strong/weak it was (it's crazy how close you need to have it actually!) and the little seedlings stretched some, so I LST'ed all of them. They all took to LST really well actually. The biotabs plant was the first one to sort of musle through her bindings, and i ended up feeling sorry for it and removing them thinking the bend was mostly done anyway. It didn't help that this was a corner plant and I just didnt really have access to it as nicely as the others. Anyway the LST wasnt done though and the plant fully redressed showing only a little bend towards its base at harvest time. The Mr. B's showed the best results on LST. It got bent 90° then grew out but managed to stick it's main cola out just in time i guess, so it had several mains maybe 3 maybe 4 and several side shoots. The Vertafort one took to LST the worst of the three (through no fault on vertafort's nutrient's part!) It basically got bent 90° but got held down too much by the bindings , and being a corner plant simply it got less light the whole grow, being overtaken by the other plants in the tent. Through veg though these grew to nice busheles, each in their own style, pushing out fat indica leaves , mostly being kept at appropriate VPDs. Note that the temps i've recorded are for maximum temperatures hey ! Anyway it I ended up with an uneven canopy by the start of flower stretch due to the different LST styles and the different growth rates, the vertafort one being basically stunted. During flower stretch these stretch ! lol doubled in size at a steady rate I can tell because the biotabs one was basically no longer LST'ed right? Anyway way blueberry styles not so much auto gsc styles that much I can tell you. The longer side colas a great too, they're much longer than the GSC's side colas and they have two or more flower nodes more each. By week 4 of flower the Mr. B's started to look pro, with a nice canopy and several distinguishable mains sticking out from the bush. The vertafort one was a corner plant so I just paid less attention to it - too bad for me ! Anyway the flowers themselves started to emerge with a calyx to larf ratio of 1:0 for the biotabs ones, and I started getting stoked. I could already tell from the squeeze that these would be nice and dense nuggy nug nugs just like I like them. The Mr.B's one was different though, the flowers grew all up and down the colas like they were all filled up. The sugar leafs themselves were like non-existant on Mr.B's but long and thin on the Mr.B's. Then the stacking began, last quite a while to finish up and rippen, i'd say from week 8 through 13. The trichomes reached out, filled up some, curled, in and were full white. I noticed some amber trichomes and it was time for the chop ! Throughout the grow I tried something new. From joining GD on my first grow I got loads of goodies from @Mrs_Larimar with the Mr.B's nutrients - thank you so much ! - and the biotabs contest , plus the Vertafort that came with seeds from the folks at Zambeza, Zamnesia, and RQS , all of these were dry nutrients, and I got those micro nutrients from my friends too. Great experience using dry nutrients, much more affordable on the whole, easier to measure too. That didnt stop me from messing up a few measures though ! So For most of the grow I planned to add my own micro. I had four micro powders made. One green one for early veg with all the "rare metals" in it at 2% , a bio cal mag, white powder for veg and early flower and a cal mag and mag sulfur I meant to use during flower. So I ended up giving a quarted dose of the organic cal mag most of the time then in flower still had them on a quarter dose of cal mag sulfur before i realised and switched up too late. My whole micro line up i think would cost 10 dollars retain and I had plenty of it left over i think it should last like 4 grows. Not that I'll use it again unless i can get a steady supply - a the travails of the underground micro nutrient market. Worked great though, pH neutral, i used it as spray too, next time I'll mix in humic acid directly in the same feed, because why not and because I would have massively helped. Sometimes in flower i used only calmagsulfur and maybe I didnt mix it in very well but i would dump everything on anyway , a couple time I would check after water and the clumps had formed like 3 inch crystal formations on the top of my soil... Anyone ever seen that before? maybe it's a good sign idk, i usually tried plain water to dissolve them asap. The biotabs worked great on the Colorado cookies though, that much I can say, no excesses of any sort detected, leaves weren't too dark green at all. Mr.B's turned out a BEAST , but that could be from the LST aswell... the vertafort one ended up being a very healthy plant that never lacked anything either. Around halfway through flower I started traing the colas upwards where they were drooping on the biotabs plants and the Mr.b's plant, glad i did because i think plants like to make colas going straight up right? Chopped these at the top of week 14 which is 95 days from the moment i dunked them into the water kept a calendar which I'll show you. Hung to dry for 10 days, then jarred with the 62% boveda, burped inspected daily for a week, then weekly for two weeks. I weighted what I kept lol , no small buds this time, finally my grower dream realized ! So happy i got two (maybe three phenos) because I loved the flowers on the biotabs but I also loved the yielding of the LST'ed pheno. Plenty of wasted cola space though if I'm honest, should have defoliated more, maybe done that just at the edge of veg or something, maybe next time I'll try to flux like @silky_smooth so I can keep them in veg longer and make me a couple beasts. Had to travel to for two halfway through, so what I did was to put perlite in the trays, get the pots off their grills and onto the perlite then i bottom fed plain water, the idea being that the perlite would keep the water from evaporating from the trays too quickly, just as i was loading up the trays , the nex day I saw three thrips but they were flying all wierd and all strange so i thought maybe the airflow was f-ing them up ... and i had to leave anyway. Got back and the pots were bone dry but the plants hadn't died, and the temps were way up. I think the remaining perlite absorbs heat... Anyway started top feeding them again but by this time they were showing signs of stress especially the biotabs one, the mr.b's kinda recovered, and the vertafort was healthy enough it just looked like a bit of magnesium issue. May this could be a good technique for other folks to try. Like i said the perlite might absorb heat, so remove it when you dont need it anymore (i had issues with heat). Over all these gens are yielders, had some of my best work in here, and some less good work. I like having been able to use the GD platform as a companion app, was great fun really. it's great to be able to put all your pictures up and see them side by side, i tried to keep it organised so you and I can see some interesting things like the "three stages of LST" and other interesting nuggets of info. Speaking of nuggets I'll try to get some more and some better pics of the nugs in. Hope you'll visit this again 🚀 EDIT: made some bubble hash for the first time, grower's priviledge ! only used the stems stalks and leafs for it, and it came out really delicious, smells like perfume, burns like incense and tastes like vanila and spices/hash lol basically used some bubble bags , rand the water through once, got negligeable 120s 75s and 45s but got some 25 quite a lot. ran it again, same results with just about the same amout of 25s, i thought i could go a third one, but got negligeable everything lol. Two passes for whatever that is in bubble hash lol, it's still got to dry for another week - bubble hash is kinda of the grower's priviledge, definitely recommend doing it ! 🚀

October 22, 2021 Dinafem Quick Critical is looking great. Amazing growth this week!!! CBD Medi Kush is growing slowly and is a little twisted, it might not mean anything at this stage we'll see how she performs in the upcoming week. Critical Sour finally popped around 9 days after planting the original seed, I had planted a second seed when there was no seedling after 7 days. that new seed popped in 6 days and looked much healthier than the first seedling. I pulled the first Critical Sour seedling and will be growing out the second seedling only. Dr Bruce Banner has not popped either of the two seeds, its now 14 days since the first seed was planted and 14 days since the second seed was planted. I'm going to leave the pot in the tent for a few more days to see if a seedling appears, but if nothing happens soon I'll pull the pot out of the tent and just grow out the other three. Cya next week!👍

I put the plants under the Electric Sky 180 V2 I kept only 4 plants because one was growing really slow compare to the others and another turned out to be a automatic plant so i took it away as well. I am keeping 2 phenos of the Nanaz x BBC and 2 ot the Humboldt Headband.

Blue Dream Auto is growing well. Temps are getting cooler with winter moving in. Hopefully I can keep the temp up so they all grow better. Time will tell of course. Everything is looking good. I did some lst and defoliation on her today. She should start her preflower in the near future.

Всем большой большой привет! Мы уже очень большие к концу второй недели и кажется скоро буду делать топпинг, а к концу 3-ей недели можно будет переводить на цвет. Может показаться, что я как-то обманываю вас и растить начал давно, а фотографирую специально так, буд-то бы куст так быстро растет. Все по чесному! Он растет очень быстрыми темпами. Как я уже говорил, правильно буферизированный кокос, ежедневный полив, хорошая влажность и результат не заставит вас ждать. Специально фотографировал ежедневно в одно и тоже время, с одного и того же ракурса и с одним и тем же фокусным расстоянием. Первый раз вижу, чтобы в том месте, где-то находятся семядоли что-то начинало расти, обычно к 3-ей недели они отсыхают и отваливаются. Чо уж говорить, у нас ожирение )))) Да, и первый раз на таком сроке начало пахнуть... Я удивился прям. Сорт на половину Skunk, так что предчувствую, что пахнуть на цвете будет очень и очень сильно. Специально поменял уголь в обоих фильтрах, надеюсь поможет. Листья первого этажа (трилистника), это которые сразу после семядолей, в длину аж 11 см. Главный стебель толщиной уже 6мм. Наросло 4 этажа, формируется пятый. Буду как обычно на 5-ом этаже резать и формировать корону из 8-10 стволов, как получится. Спасибо что заглянули, всем удачного грова!

I made a concoction of living soil using ingredients I could find of subcools formula. Theoretically all i need to add is ph balanced water. And a tea once I decide to flower. I'm waiting for some gadgets[ph and moisture meters]to come in before doing any extensive watering.

I was quite pleased with the amount of bud I got off her and it's smelling fantastic and is very sticky.The trichomes were very milky with a few amber as well. 😍 very easy to grow no fuss and no problems but we'll have to wait and see as to whether she is a good smoke or not . Now for this weeks Aussie Music videos 👊 Because we are almost at the end of this grow I thought I had better add a few extra songs this week to make sure I get a decent selection of Diffrent music videos for you all to check out. So for this weeks selections I chose Empire of the Sun 👊 Walking on a Dream https://youtu.be/eimgRedLkkU Big Pig 👉 (from Bill n teds excellent adventure) 👊 I can't break away https://youtu.be/f_rfXVdYelA Peking duk 👊 Reprisal https://youtu.be/4GboBAg2Syo The white stripes 👊 Seven nation army https://youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY Grinspoon 👊 Chemical Heart https://youtu.be/58mXxWuUqYw The hilltop hoods 👊 Leave my lonely https://youtu.be/yKifJ4Q5ph0 And Silverchair 👉Not bad for a bunch of 16yr olds which they were at the time this video was made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD982yrmx4 The Next update will be the Final harvest update with the dried n trimmed buds etc. I will also have to add another heap of tunes in that I had wanted to play , so keep an eye out for my next Update of Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music videos .😀 Until then Stay safe and Keep lit And we'll all get thru this Together 🙏 👍

Day 43 - Tuesday 27/11/18 - changed the reservoir with fresh solution , getting a few mottled under leaves that suggest cal mag issue , or possibly ph , but I have double checked both of these so fingers crossed , I measured her today with my metre ruler and she is 73 cm tall , looks very bushy , I took a light on pic with my iPhone , and made you a little video 😜 I should just add , there are 3 plants in this picture , look back to week 5 and you will see , the lemon is very bushy , gorilla is tallest , Tangie seems to be fastest 👁️ I have also changed the temperature and humidity slightly. Day 44 - Wednesday - I have included the ruler for scale today, i see so many good pictures on here but the size can be questionable, so also proof i own a 1m ruler...lol , topped up with about 1.5 litres of water, EC was ok and ph perfect. If there are any pictures you would like to see please comment , with a little description. Day 45 - Thursday - I dont know what happened yesterday but she had drunk so much water ( added 3 litres + ) and needed 10 ml of A+B , Day 46 - Friday - Added 12 ml A+B and about 3 litres of water, she is in her super feeding stage, this week she has been devouring everything, some of the leaves I think are showing signs of under feeding but I really think its the strain on the plant as she tries to buildit is really tempting to up the nutrients but once you burn it, its never the same.I made you a video, enjoy. Day 47 - Saturday - Added 3 litres of water , 12 ml A+B ( I mix it 6 at a time in 20 ml of water syringe ) Day ( insert generic day here ) - JOKE , Day 48 Sunday - still eating and drinking like a monster, i measured her at 89 cm today, added 3 litres of water ,12 ml of A+B DRAMA ALERT - DRAMA ALERT Day 49 - Monday - added 10 ml Of A+B and 3 litres of water, came home later an found the electric had tripped, usually this is just a case of flipping the switch, but this time it kept on tripping, so i went through the painstaking unplugging of everything, and had literally unplugged every fucking thing , when i finally ( at my wits en after 2 hrs ) found the fucking culprit,excuse my language but i find that cursing really does help, i think its a middle age thing,and it was.............. A SIX INCH FAN , you know the little clip on one. anyway i added a couple of tAnGiEmAtIc PICS TODAY TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ... A WORD OF ADVICE IN DWC SYSTEMS, DO NOT HAVE MULTI PLUG EXTENSIONS ON THE FLOOR, CABLE TIE THEM TO THE SIDES OR THE TOP, THIS WILL PREVENT ACCIDENTAL WATER SPLASH!!

To think I thought she was stunted! Doing really well this week, temps are skyrocketing where I’m at and will remain high this week. We had a lot of rain earlier this week, which seems to have helped her, but also brought some fungus gnats around. I’ve been using yellow traps + am going to let this heat finish drying out the top layer of soil.

The plant grow so fast you could almost see it happening. It was resistant to drought and handled anything I threw it's way. I highly recommend this strain. The best grow techniques are main-lining or topping, from my experience.

Been a wonderful week! Defoliated for the last time until the flip and have great news! Have a new light on arrival TSW2000 and it will cover the whole space in the tent! Mars hydro have made me proud of myself! I’m glad I’m a loyal Martian 🙏💚 I will continue on as per usual until I flip them to 12-12 thank you for stopping by

We are feeding only once a week, the other 3 are pH 7.0 water only. Looking to harvest this weekend possibly? Most likely another week since I'm only seeing amber trichomes coming from the slightly light damaged top.
