Not much to report this week, the trichomes are still milky. My feeling is that it will take another 2-3 weeks until they are ready to harvest. Until then, I will continue with the fertilizer scheme. The smell of both strains is very pleasantly fruity (citrus) and I continue to monitor the VPD value and temperatures. This time there are no pictures and only videos they show better the development, in the time lapse you can still see a growth in the flowers, slow but there is still growth.

Welcome to the jungle, Growmies! 🌿🔥 The plants received their first round of organic fertiliser last week, and judging by their growth, the root systems are healthy and well-supplied with nutrients. And yeah - growth is looking pretty great! 😎 I’ll start defoliating in the next few days, since it’s already getting crowded in the grow space. Let’s go! 🚀 Stats so far: 💧 Watering: 1L every other day 💦 Humidity: ~70% RH 🌡️ Temp (lights on): 26–28°C 🌡️ Temp (lights off): 20–22°C 📈 Avg. VPD (lights on): ~1.0 kPa

My gas tax plant is looking absolutely incredible right now. It's got these massive buds that are super dense and have this awesome dark color to the leaves. I'm so excited to see how it turns out when it's finally ready to be harvested. I've been checking the height, the thickness of the stem, and the density of the buds to get an idea of how much longer I have to wait. I think I might start flushing it soon. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Week 2 for our strawberry gorilla 🦍 from the fastbuds family All looks good and the buds are forming real quick, we continue for now with master root and master bloom, next week we start to add some more addictives Some plants had a little to much nutrients but we corrected the dosis and continue with a little less bloom nutrients! For the rest all good!!

27/02: the plants that looked wilted in the previous week have come back to life as they are being fed 1 litre of water now - it was an underwatering issue. all plants including the ones that were lagging behind have exploded with their stigmas and there are plenty of bud sites throughout. humidity is still a bit of an issue though I am installing an industrial sized dehumidifier into the grow tent as of next week. again there is some over crowding though I do not want to stress the plants by taking too many leaves at this stage. will give it at least another week before another trim. plants are on average around 30 inches high. reacting well to the nutes and all is going well.

Cereal milk has some really nice small leaves I like when plants have small leaves I feel it’s easier todo a sea of green. Most plants I see now days have medium size leaves but some have huge and some have small. Plants smell is pretty strong. This plant reminds me of the best black valentine plant i grew awhile back. All of the plants have really taken off. Usually I have a couple plants that are much smaller but all of these plants are getting huge. Seeing I got a new eluefah uap1500 the other day and I have my 2 fastbuds plants under that now I have my spider farmer light free. So I popped up another 2x2 and moved 3 of the 10 plants into the 2x2 and left the 7 other in the 2x4.

First week of flowering for the girls. We started with some master bloom from Xpert nutrients and continue with master root also from xpert nutrients. We placed a net above the poants to guide some of the taller branches and create a more equal canopy. We defoliated some lower leaves and for the rest it looks quite good, some plants showed a little sign of overfeeding so we lower the dosis this week.

Bonsoir à tous Voilà encore de nouvelles photos et vidéos que je viens juste de faire, mes fifilles grandissent bien encore une bonne semaine et elles passent en floraison je pense vivement 😜 j'ai hâte de là sentir et Surtout de la goûter 😋😋😋 je vous dis à bientôt bye bye

Fast Buds Originals White Widow 5 weeks of flowering finished 18th Jan 2020 I call this girl stinky as that is exactly what she is... Very stinky 😅 I'm serious , she reeks of a skunky like smell that seems to assault and entice your nostrils at the same time 😆 She is also the tallest of the Originals I'm growing , so watch out for that if you are planning on growing them indoors. Maybe a topping or LST program would be best employed if growing this lady. Thanks again for looking at my Diary Folks see you next week 👍👊

Die Purple Haze wächst sehr gut hat gesunde Triebe und die werden jetzt verdoppelt mal gucken wie sie es erträgt

Last day of week 10 Plant is doing well, had some brown spots but nothing special. Today defoliated few leaves to improve air movement, since I only use extractor fan, I thought it was necessary. This week I also added Bud Factor X and CalMag to her feeding schedule. I think I'm gonna feed her once again after 4 days and then start flushing for 2 weeks. Nothing more to say, I really like how she develops and can't wait to taste her buds. Happy growing to you all.

Day 7 of flower slow streach one will be smaller and bushy then the other both look great and are very healthy plants

So today is the day i switch my plants to flowering lights schedule and flowering nutes, started with 1/4 the recommended dosage and will gradually up them, only boosters i left at recommended values. Ppm is 800. Next will be 1000, then 1200 and maybe 1400. I plan to flush on days 16, 28, 35 and 42 of flowering, leave them to dry for 4-5 days so roots will oxygenize and help to stack more dense buds, and then add nutes. I plan to do the final flush for last 2 weeks with flawless finish. You can see some before and after training photos and videos from today, defoliated some leaves and LST-ing branches, spreading them out last time so light can reach smaller branches, after all she got some more stretching to do and its why i left sensi grow with more Nitrogen. I spent a lot of time training them now, hopefully it will pay out with massive buds :) Stay tuned and bye bye, as always i am opened to every grower here, i will help and share advices with everyone, i love to exchange opinions in order to come to your own conclusion, people who talked to me so far already know that..

she should have been cut 2 weeks ago ... but I want to leave her 80% amber something KO ... will be cut the first week of February .......

This week was great again ... Maybe even a little but too hot but nevertheless all plants are growing well and didn't show any signs of heat stress! ☀️☀️ I'm pretty happy with the development and looking forward to next week hopefully there is some rain this week because I can't water them until next Friday...🌧️🌧️ Thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for the nice genetics! 💚💚 Stay tuned and Keep Growing everyone! ☀️🌱
