Forgot to mention that I topped them at some point a couple of weeks back and it worked wonders. Trimmed them for the first time and wow did they like it! That's about it. Too tired now to remember anything else. Oh yeah I installed one of those terrarium ceramic bulbs that just heat up without emitting light but it seems like it's not needed

What up fam, weekly update on these lovely ladies. I put the scrog net out this week for support and am I glad I did. Only after a couple days they grew right through it. The greenhouse is 6'5 feet tall and they're pushing 5'6. I'll go in there and take off some of the lower fan leafs at the bottom but not to much defoliation needed. I'm seeing preflowers so I'll also switch the nutes from grow to bloom. All in all Happy Growing.

2020-07-05 New week. Reduced nutrients because of the slight burn on plant 2... and plant 1 drinks so quickly that it rapidly raises PPM so I have to actually find the right sweet spot. It's drinking about a gallon a day? Plant 2 is still a week behind and slightly stunted but the flowers are coming out. They are more compact than Plant 01. This is supposed to be the same species but I'm getting 2 very different phenotypes on the exact same nutrients.. not very strong genetics? Not sure. 2020-07-05 2020-07-05 2020-07-08 Forgot to take pics this week! Here you go! Plant 01 has grown so insanely strongly and is producing so many nice looking bud sites, i am blown away!! I have had to 'supercrop' the top by bending the stem very carefully and adding a wire knuckle so that it wouldn't immediately just stand back up overnight. I tried this with 2 experimental colas and they perked back up and stayed laying down. They will slightly obstruct the lower flowers but the tops all looked so promising, I couldn't bring myself to cut them. I will seriously have to cut down on veg time next grow! I can easily stop at week 5 in the future with these seeds and grow up nice buds. 2020-07-11 Updated with yesterday's photos. Changed nutrients today, stuck with 1600 EC for plant 01 and went back down to 1400 for plant 02.

D60. I'm back again after being out of town for six days. I doubt the Purplematic girl missed me, but she looks great! The flowers are a deep, DEEP purple, and her senescence has progressed, resulting in pretty purple/yellow leaves. I had a first look at her trichomes, and she is getting ready. Most trichomes are cloudy, and I even see an amber one here and there. Won't be long now :) ------------------------------ D63. We're at the end of the fifth week of flower, and this grow is almost at the end. She is fading beautifully, and the trichomes are ripening. I would love to let her go another week to watch her senescence, but I need to move the light from this tent to the photo tent since I'm running out of space there, and this Kingbrite light has a much lower profile. ------------------------------

Day 44 – Steady March into Flowering The journey continues! Although the weather remains inconsistent — with chilly mornings, bursts of afternoon sun, and cold nights — this lady refuses to be held back. She’s thriving confidently in her super soil blend, nourished solely with pH-balanced tap water, and showing no signs of slowing down. Her foliage has become lush and expansive, acting like solar panels eagerly soaking in every bit of light they can capture between the clouds. New growth is vigorous, and the pre-flowering signs are now clearly taking shape, promising a smooth transition into full bloom. The top node is beginning to stack, and those early pistils are spreading — a sure sign she’s enjoying her environment. Although nighttime temperatures have dipped, she’s been strong enough to remain outdoors under the open sky. To protect her from the sneaky slug patrol, I’ve elevated her above ground level — a small tactic, but one that keeps her canopy untouched and flourishing. There’s something uniquely rewarding about this outdoor grow — it’s low-cost, hands-on, and deeply satisfying. While indoor tents offer more control, nothing beats adapting to nature’s rhythm and still achieving such healthy development. Much credit goes to FastBuds.com for the genetics. This girl is showing impressive resilience, structure, and poise — exactly what you want in a CBD-dominant auto. Can’t wait to transform this harvest into some rich, therapeutic CBD oil. One step closer each day! Day 46 – Thriving Naturally Under Open Skies This lady continues to prove that sometimes, less is truly more. I’ve kept things as simple and natural as possible — no synthetic nutrients, no grow tents, no artificial stimulation. Just clean, pH-balanced tap water and a super soil blend I mixed myself months ago. The result? A strong, healthy, and surprisingly resilient plant that now towers confidently at over 60 cm and is embracing her flowering phase with grace. Yesterday brought a refreshing rainfall — and while some might worry about outdoor exposure, this girl clearly enjoyed every drop. Her leaves were glistening with energy this morning as the sun returned, and the vibrant growth is undeniable. It’s moments like these that remind me why I chose an outdoor grow: nature takes care of its own when we provide the right foundation. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to keep her outside right through to harvest. With the summer sun still ahead, she’s got the best part of the season to stretch, stack, and swell those buds. Massive appreciation to FastBuds.com — the genetics are absolutely spot on for a low-maintenance grower like myself. Reliable, vigorous, and beautiful to watch evolve. No gimmicks. No stress. Just sun, soil, and the will to grow. Day 49 – Battle-Tested by Nature, Still Standing Tall What a wild few days it’s been! Heavy rain and strong winds put my lady through her first proper trial. At one point she even took a tumble from her pedestal and bent slightly under the pressure. But if there’s one thing that’s become crystal clear — Fast Buds genetics are made of iron. 💪 Despite the rough weather, she’s bounced back beautifully. Today the skies have cleared, and the sunshine has returned — and so has her posture. Her leaves are once again reaching outward with confidence, showing no signs of stress or damage. It’s moments like these that make outdoor cultivation so rewarding. There’s no hiding from the elements out here — it’s all about adaptability, resilience, and harmony with nature. My growing technique remains deliberately minimalistic: no artificial feeds, no grow tents, no special shelters — just pure rain, sunlight, and my homemade super soil blend. The goal is to let nature take the lead, and so far, she’s doing a brilliant job. If you’re thinking of trying an outdoor grow and want something straightforward yet satisfying, I can’t recommend FastBuds.com genetics enough. They’ve created a line that genuinely thrives even under less-than-ideal conditions. We’ve now passed the 7-week mark, and I’m more convinced than ever that this grow will finish strong, under open skies — just the way I envisioned. 🌿☀️

Took her down on day 69 of flower. Her fan leaves were faded purple and she shows a lot of purple in the calyxs on the stalks and in the nugs. Just a beautiful strain. And the small is amazing. The best smelling harvest I've had. And the stickiest. If you want to grow automatic cannabis. You should try Mephisto Genetics.00

16th Week Report 30/01/20 - 06/02/20 Had a look to trichomes and she was almost ready, consequently I didn't filled/changed reservoir from last week 06/02/20 Harvest Day! 2nd Harvest Wet Weight Is 440g! 💦💦 All the lower growth yielded more than the bigger colas from first harvest (350g Wet Weight) Nothing particular to say, trichomes are 5-10% 🔍 Amber, even the lower buds got some purple tones and while I was trimming them I sniffed the best weed flavour I ever felt in my life! The 2nd Harvest day was a week away from the 1st Harvest day! "Harvest Week" will be published when buds will be dry 😋 Last Update 06/02/20 See you guys ;)

Por una parte tenemos la que llamaremos Biscotii 1: Tiene un tamaño monstruoso, que tuve que doblar en varias ocasiones el tallo porque no me daba más el foco para subirlo. De hecho una de las ocasiones me quemo una hoja del puntal y un pelín la puntita y como se puede ver hizo que la punta parezca un monstruo!! enorme, grande y de forma especial. Hay gente en instagram que me pregunta que si lleva anabolizantes jajaajja lo más parecido a eso es los nutrientes de plagron!!! Que las revienta a las pequeñas Esta tiene unos tonos morados que la hacen muy atractiva y una resina generosa. El olor es fuerte y la altura estirada es una pasada!! Por otra parte la Biscotti 2: El tamaño es inferior que la anterior, pero no por eso diría que poco productiva... Tiene un central que da miedo igualmente, los satélites son una pasada llena de resina. En esta ocasión no tiene tonos morados, pero tiene mayor resina. En general ambas dos tapan la botella de litro y medio de agua, prieta, olorosa y con resina para aburrir!! 😍😍😍😍😍 El peso le pondré en seco en cuanto lo pese 😇

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect that’ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. It’s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a top-notch resin producer that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 4/11- Here we go into the second week of life for my FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and she's doing really well! All I'm doing right now is making sure that her medium remains moist, watering only when necessary. I'm checking her root development daily and she will be ready to transplant outdoors any day now! 4/13- Today is TRANSPLANT DAY! I moved the GG4 Sherbet outside to her prearranged 'new home' which I had previously prepped by adding some Coco/Perlite into the soil to improve the texture and drainage. I then pre-amended the soil with Gaia Green 4-4-4 All Purpose slow release dry amendment along with 3g of Wiggle Worm castings, 2 cups of ground Alfalfa and 1/4 cup of Extreme Gardening's MYCOS. After which, I kept the soil moist to allow the microbial colony to populate for a week. To transplant, I first made a hole then placed a Solo cup in it to make sure that the depth was adequate, then packed the medium up against the cup firmly which leaves a nice Solo cup shaped hole in the ground. I then wet the inside of the hole that I formed and coated the hole with Extreme Gardening's MYCOS root enhancer, after which I removed the GG4 Sherbet from her Solo cup and placed her snugly into her new home! After planting her in the ground all that was left to do was lightly water her in... Let the fun begin!🤪 4/15- The GG4 Sherbet FF from FastBuds is doing extremely well in her new environment. To be quite honest I was slightly hesitant to place her outside this early as we are only getting approximately 13 or so hours of sunlight daily. Based on my experience last year growing a Gorilla Cookies FF, which was placed outside at a similar time and did extremely well, I went ahead with the transplant, confident that she would be just fine. 4/17- I'm watering around every 2-3 days right now using water straight from my well through a garden hose... super simple! I do not worry about PH as long as the water isn't chlorinated and is good enough for me to drink, it's good enough for my plants and the microbial colony in the soil will adjust the PH to where they need it and at the same time provide the nutrients that the plant requires... again, nice and simple. Well there goes two weeks for this little lady. The next coming weeks should see an increase in size and vigor as long as the weather cooperates... fingers crossed!🤞 Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

NOTE: THE COUNTING OF DAYS STARTS FROM THE DAY THE SEED STARTS ITS PROCESS, IN THIS GROW DAY 1 WAS THE MOMENT THE SEED GOT INSERTED INTO THE EASY START (i do not recomend this method for experienced growers, but higly recomend it to unexperienced growers that might accidentally damage their seedling's new root as they move them from the germination zone into their next or final pot, with easy start you can just pick up the small cube of soil and place it inside the next pot GENTLY). NOTE: For strain informations, soil recipe and nutrient's stock please do check "Germination Week" as you will find all the information there. (Do not replicate nutrient dosages as these are higly variable depending on the conditions within the grow room or tent, so you may end up damaging or killing your plants even if they are the same strain from the same breeder). --------------------------------------------------------------------___________________________________________________________-----------------------------------------------------------------------_____________________________________________________________________---------------------------------------------------------------- 03/11- All watered with 950ml of water per plant with dilluted nutrients in the rates specified above. Light schedules changed to 19/5 and will be further extended to 20/4 to allow for more hours of heat from the lights as we progress into winter. 06/11- All watered with 1,4l of water with 2ml/l Bio Rhizhotonic + 0.45ml/l of Ancient Earth. GG2- Removed first set of leaves.
