Week 2: Trying to be anal about VPD. Feeding nutrients every watering, PPFD/DLI is not dialed in just following the manuals recommended light distance. Humidifier on the outside of the lower right vent and AC Infinity helps maintain RH %.

This week I just flushed the plant. I think I could have feed nutes the first day of this week, but I decided to flush from the first day, something to improve next time. I think I should have given the last flush one day before harvest instead of 2 days after, I felt that the coco was a bit too dry and the steam was not as moist as the previous harvest, this would have been great if I was doing 14 days dry, but I'm doing a 30 day dry, so this extra moisture would be great. The last 4 days the lights were turned off, as a consequence, the humidity went up the last 4 days, around 56-58%, I don't think I will do this next time. The total flower period was 72 days, according to Barney's farm it would take 60-65 days, I feel that those values are very accurate, my personal circumstances made me take a bit longer, but I barely saw any amber trichomes at harvest day. DAY 152 - Water PH - 5.83 PPM- 777 Solution Temp - 23 Watering Volume - 4L DAY 153 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 783 Solution Temp - 21.6 Watering Volume - 3L DAY 154 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 793 Solution Temp - 21.7 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 155 - Water PH - 5.84 PPM- 809 Solution Temp - 22 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 156 - Water PH - 5.80 PPM- 810 Solution Temp - 22.7 Watering Volume - 2.5L DAY 158 - Water PH - 5.91 PPM- 587 Solution Temp - 17 Watering Volume - 3L

🌿 Week 10: The Final Countdown & The Autumn Fade 🍂 The Vibe: We’ve officially entered double digits! The tent is a jungle of smells, and the air is thick with a mix of sweet pineapple, heavy cream, and that funky cheese undertone. Most of the white pistils have now tucked in or turned orange/brown, and the plants are starting to pull mobile nutrients from the larger fan leaves the "autumn fade" is officially here! The Ladies: Pineapple Express F1: Still the undisputed Queen 👑. Her main colas are rock hard and coated in a sticky layer of resin. She’s starting to show some beautiful purple/yellow hues in her fan leaves as she nears the finish line. White Runtz: The "Chonk" of the tent! 🍩 Even though she the tallest girl is the tent, her bud density is incredible. The frost on the Runtz is next level it looks like she’s been dipped in sugar.(And she is now drying) Blue Cheese F1: My little rebel. 🧀 She stayed compact and "boujee" with her 3-fingered leaves until the end, but don't let her size fool you the smell coming off her is the most pungent in the tent. She’s finally stopped that weird side-branch stretching and is putting all her energy into ripening those dense little nuggets. Care & Nutrients: Feeding: This is the last week of full nutrients. I’m still using the Bio-Bloom and Top-Max combo, but I’ve started tapering down the Fish-Mix and TNT Complex to let the plants use up their stored nitrogen. Watering: They are thirsty! I’m still giving about 1L per plant every other day, ensuring the pH stays steady at 5.5-6.0 to avoid any late-stage lockouts. Environment: Keeping the humidity lower (around 45-50%) now to prevent any bud rot issues since the flowers are so dense. Temperatures are steady at 27°C lights on. Next Steps: It’s all about the jeweler's loupe now. I’m checking trichomes daily. We are looking for that perfect 10-20% amber ratio before we start the final flush. It won’t be long now! Question for the Growmies: Do you prefer to harvest when trichomes are all cloudy for a "heady" high, or do you wait for more amber for that "couch-lock" feel? Let me know below! 👇

Pretty busy week this week. repotted in to 5 gallon pots, defoliation just before switching to 12/12. Added a Scrog to the canopy. Also added a better fresh air in take to try and drop the humidity. Although it didn’t make much difference so ordered a better dehumidifier with a humidistat.

Growth is super, despite having splitting and getting a break where I topped due to something falling on the plant. I quickly patched her up with some electrical tape and a cable tie and she recovered within a day! Super resilient plant. She's starting to smell and putting out a few pistils already at the end of week 1 flower!

Ms Grapes an Cream from Atlas seeds is comming in amazing on week 4 of veg she is still the biggest she's growing great after being topped thinking about topping her again have had no problems with her she's growing more every day under the medic grow fold 6 Ending week 4 this girl continues to amaze me with how vigorous she's been growing she's been topped a couple times now an really thinking about giving her another one she's been growing so great with these nutrients from cultured biologix

The plants are coming along nicely for the most part. I have been finding bud rot in big mama... not much but I'm a little bit worried. I've been cutting it out when I find it. The trichomes are cloudy with sparse amber. The wind has been a concern the past week or so. I shared a video which kind of gives an idea of what we are dealing with. We are looking at harvest two weeks out - max. Maybe sooner. FFT2 is significantly behind the other varieties... fattening up more slowly.

Stretch Season Approaching? 🌇 | RHC Enters Preflower Elegantly A fresh update from the balcony garden! My Red Hot Cookies photoperiod has officially entered preflower—a beautiful turning point in the season and a clear sign she’s gearing up for the stretch ahead. 🌀🌿 After some intense vegetative growth, she’s responded well to topping and training, with her canopy now standing tall and open, ready for the sun to do its magic. Her stature is becoming more impressive by the day, and the signs of preflower are clearly visible in the latest close-ups and video. 📸✨ Even nature’s allies came to inspect this week—a little ladybug made an appearance during filming and decided to hang out for a bit. 🍀🐞 Always a good omen in the garden! This Week’s Care Routine: 🔸 BioBizz Grow – 4 ml/l for steady veg support 🔸 CalMag – 0.5 ml/l to keep her strong and balanced 🔸 Dechlorinated Tap Water – always rested for 24h before use 🔸 Homebrewed Compost Tea – full of life and microbe support 🔸 Effective Microorganisms – boosting soil vitality 🔸 pH: 6.4 🔸 EC: 1800 µS She’s in a strong spot—tall, healthy, vibrant, and showing no signs of slowing down. I’m genuinely excited to see how she stretches from here and how the first buds begin to develop under the late summer sun. The season is still full of promise, and I’ll keep sharing the journey. 🌞🌱 Stay tuned—there’s still so much more to come!

She has just started to flower. No nutes super soil living soil still going strong. So I fed her when I should t have. And stunted her a bit. But i think she’s coming back nicely.

Well I love this Ya Hemi hits very strong. Shit is dank and stinky and WILL put you on your ass! Trying out a totally new way of growing for me. Also to help with costs I decided to make a 5 gal tea reactor, to grow out the EM1 which will save me about 75% on all microbe products, and also save on feralization when used in conjunction with foliar sprays. Using grassroots LivingSocial pots and a new full organic mix. Fingers crossed as we get on the ya hemi organic express!

She looks suuper happy and healthy,wonderful strain to grow,she's starting to show the pistils so she'll be in full flower in no time! Let's see how this wonderful lady performs, she smells crazy on her 13th day of flower,she's producing massive resin so far,stinks,I cannot believe how this lady is getting full of cristales so early,can't wait to smoke this 🤤 100% organic and biological grown

Purple really starting to come in, upgraded ventilation system has got my tent down to low 70s they seem to be living it !

Ive been busy buying toilet paper and making anti virus masks. But in between I got some nice Dimonds from my fresh frozen Fire OG / Tangerine Skunk blast a few weeks / months ago And I broke out a double Dominion Skunk blast.. its produced my largest Dimonds so far. I will update pics of plants soon...

Unbelievable, frost in the North and days of single digit nights. I got the plants covered but still, now its wait and see if any got hurt. Meanwhile down south garden is booming 😀

BIG BIG apologies to Heather from fast buds & to Growdiaries & anyone who follows. The past few months have been a massive struggle, not just with temperatures & growing weed but on a personal level. My wife has been very poorly & with covid and everything going on, it's put a massive strain on us all!! I've tries to maintain an active presence on Instagram but that's about all I've physically had time for. I've put this update together today, so far into the grow now it almost seems pointless. I lost my original Mimosa due to high temps & high RH. Moving into the attic at that time of year was a mistake. It has cost me a small fortune to keep things alive. I've had to purchase an air con unit, more fans & just more of everything to be honest. My purple punch is almost ready to harvest, any time within the next couple of days, followed shortly by Bruce Banner & Kosher cake. I wont be winning any awards for this Diary & I feel bad as I was supposed to be show casing what 420 Fast buds has to offer & I've failed...miserably. I hope you can make sense of all the pictures I've included....just a mass photo frenzy over the past few weeks. Thanks to everyone & all your comments. Wishing you all the best. One Love ❤️

German version below: Critical Neville Haze Auto | Let the new adventure begin So, it’s finally time to get started with our new project! The Critical Neville Haze Auto had us curious even before the first leaf appeared. Its flavor is described as “sweet metallic”, which is either incredibly exciting or a very creative way of describing something rather special. Either way, it’s a welcome change for us. At around 90% Sativa, this is the first strongly Sativa-dominant plant we’ve grown in quite a while. We’re especially curious to see what the little 10% Indica from Il Diavolo (DS8) will contribute in the end. Maybe a bit more structure, maybe some extra chill in the genetics. We’ll find out. All the seeds looked really good, so our selection process was, of course, based on highly scientific criteria: we simply picked the one that looked the most potent. Grower logic. Now we’re just hoping she doesn’t taste quite as loud and colorful as the packaging looks. We’re absolutely thrilled to be part of this contest and just as excited to see which great Diaries we’ll be competing against. That’s exactly what makes these contests so much fun for us: discovering new grows, getting new ideas and seeing how our own experience holds up against other growers. Since the weather is still surprisingly nice at the moment, we initially let the seed start outdoors. She didn’t get to enjoy that freedom for long, though. Right after planting, she moved indoors. Apparently, her outdoor career was a very short one. New nutrients!!! ATAMI A very special thank you goes to Marc/Mark from ATAMI. Our informative and genuinely great conversation made us curious about the ATAMI nutrient system and ultimately convinced us to give it a try for the first time in this Diary. We’re really interested to see how the system performs in everyday use, especially with almost daily feeding and such precise dosing. A little spoiler right from the start: a 1 ml syringe was included. That at least suggests we’re not supposed to follow the classic grower philosophy of “roughly this much should do” or “more is better.” And honestly, we like that. For the substrate, we’re sticking with our tried-and-tested BioBizz soil for now. The mix is approximately 70% All Mix, 25% Light Mix and a small amount of worm humus. So we’re combining a familiar and proven foundation with a completely new nutrient system for us. Now it’s time to keep our fingers crossed, observe carefully and, most importantly, avoid over-optimizing everything into oblivion. A big thank you to Delicious Seeds and ATAMI for their support. We’re incredibly excited about this contest and can’t wait to see where this journey takes us. Let’s see what the Critical Neville Haze Auto can do with that Sativa-heavy genetics and whether she really surprises us with that mysterious “sweet metallic” flavor in the end. We’re definitely curious and happy to take you all along for the ride. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Critical Neville Haze Auto | Let the new adventure begin So, endlich geht es los mit unserem neuen Projekt! Die Critical Neville Haze Auto hat uns schon vor dem ersten Blatt neugierig gemacht. Der Geschmack wird als „sweet metallic“ beschrieben, was entweder verdammt spannend oder eine sehr kreative Beschreibung für etwas ziemlich Besonderes ist. Für uns ist sie jedenfalls eine willkommene Abwechslung, denn mit rund 90 % Sativa ist sie seit längerer Zeit mal wieder deutlich sativadominant unterwegs. Besonders gespannt sind wir darauf, was die kleinen 10 % Indica von Il Diavolo (DS8) letztendlich beisteuern. Vielleicht ein bisschen Struktur, vielleicht etwas mehr Entspannung im Genpool. Wir werden sehen. Die Samen sahen allesamt richtig gut aus und die Auswahl war entsprechend wissenschaftlich fundiert: Wir haben einfach den genommen, der am potentesten aussah. Growerlogik eben. Jetzt hoffen wir nur, dass sie geschmacklich nicht ganz so quietschig daherkommt, wie die Verpackung aussieht. Wir freuen uns riesig, bei diesem Wettbewerb dabei sein zu dürfen und sind mindestens genauso gespannt darauf, mit welchen großartigen Diaries wir uns messen dürfen. Für uns ist genau das der Reiz an solchen Contests: Man lernt neue Grows kennen und bekommt neue Ideen. Da das Wetter aktuell noch überraschend gut mitspielt, durfte der Samen zunächst draußen starten. Lange durfte sie dies allerdings nicht genießen. Gleich nach dem einsetzen ist sie ins Haus eingezogen Neuer Dünger!!! ATAMI Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön geht an Marc/Mark von Atami. Das informative und wirklich gute Gespräch hat uns neugierig auf das Atami Düngesystem gemacht und letztendlich davon überzeugt, es in diesem Diary zum ersten Mal auszuprobieren. Wir sind sehr gespannt, wie sich das System im Alltag schlägt, vor allem bei der beinahe täglichen Anwendung und der Dosierung. Ein kleiner Spoiler gleich zu Beginn: Eine 1 ml Spritze war bereits dabei. Das lässt zumindest vermuten, dass hier nicht nach dem Motto „Pi mal Daumen und viel hilft viel“ gearbeitet wird. Genau das gefällt uns. Beim Substrat bleiben wir zunächst unserer bewährten Biobizz Erde treu. Die Mischung besteht ungefähr aus 70 % All Mix, 25 % Light Mix und einer kleinen Portion Wurmhumus. Bewährtes Fundament trifft also auf ein für uns neues Düngesystem. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken, beobachten und möglichst wenig kaputtoptimieren. Wir bedanken uns bei Delicious Seeds und Atami für die Unterstützung und freuen uns riesig auf diese Wettbewerbe. Mal sehen, was die Critical Neville Haze Auto aus ihrem Sativa Genpool macht und ob sie uns am Ende tatsächlich mit einem „sweet metallic“ Geschmack überrascht. Wir sind auf jeden Fall gespannt und nehmen euch auf die Reise mit. 😁.
