Shes having her last flush today on her day 75. Its a late journal im totally new here and at growing too since i started this new passion on late december 2019 so 6 months ago or already 2 harvest ago lol. Just to let everyone know that this is my first time ever growing automatics too and wont be the last cause ill go again in auto mode next run. 1st run was fem seeds from crop king too the blue cookie. No lst or defoliation on this run cause im too new to this and i tried in my first run and i made so many mistakes lol. Not this time oh no :D I gave myself a chance to learn about my plants and how to feed well this time.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 07/12/2019 - Fed her 2l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off, also added a green filter to the camera lens. Adjusted the light distance to 55cm again it was toooo close about 32cm. 10/12/2019 - Decided to go back and check the basics, removed led strip to give a proper 'night' time, changing light cycle to 20/4h no more 'exotic' 22/2h, re-checked the light distance every 2 to 3 days to ensure 60-45cm and I can tell all ready she is loving it. Also added home made Co2 made with 1 tsp of yeast, 3/4 tsp of sugar 700ml of warm water in a 1l bottle with a tiny pin hole on the cap. 11/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off. 12/12/2019 - 8 weeks have passed and no flowers I guess I'm flipping to 1212h to see if she reacts.

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 ❤️

Week 9 for Strawberry gorilla by fast buds Shes getting so close to the end 😍 I had to remove a little bit of bud rot at the start of the week, but ever since haven't been able to find anymore developing 😇 Quite surprising how little water these girls drink... still only got fed once this week with a bit of (WCA) Water Soluble Calcium & (FFJ) Fermented fruit juice for its last few weeks of life now. Really excepted her to drink more with this hot hot weather.

9/13 Took the last special Kush today. I had too. Those fucking locusts were eating more and more. At least the trichs looked good. The second plant is straight fire! They're ALL good. I'll have to do the review. Tenth planet is swelling up and trichs are getting cloudier. They are starting to eat the chem dog too but it needs to bulk up and the trichs aren't there yet. Mk ultra natural may be some of the best quality this year. I'm losing SOME to the locusts but it seems they avoid the frostier stuff. At least I'm hoping. This is a great plantvand despite the nugs being so tight and stuff it just needs more time and im going to give it to her. Pink kush is actually look9ng like it might finish. But the locusts have STRIPPED a lot of that. I'll keep an eye on them and keep this uuodated. I got a notification saying congratulations on a harvester diary. I know these outdoor seasons are long but what difference does it make? Hopefully I can still add week later. 9/14 Weather is good bit it's so dry that the locusts are deafening. Thrips are still around and there's not much I can do about it. Looking at the tenth planet I isolated I can see that locusts stripped the middle some and it was stunted from the thrips. The pink kush looks good but I'm losing g some to locusts. The 10th planet, Chem Dog #4 and the MK Ultra I left natural are bulking up and trichs are exploding! Since I safely have some quality cannabis I'm go8mg to let these ride. Unless I continue to lose substantial amounts. Then my hand may be forced. The pink kush is nowhere near ready though. The others would still be good taken now. Smell is strong and I've looked them all.

~Week 6/ 36-42 days from sprout ~Overall: ~VPD: Given up but keeping it decent. Growing in cold basement so having high humidity in the room is a no-no ~Plants DLI increased closer to 45 for these last few weeks of veg. Will close out around 50 next week, and then drop before flower. ~First top-dress end of next week ~Watering as needed, about every 5-6 days. Plants should be watered on the 18th. That will be 5 days since last watering. Might push it to the 19th though because with drop of temps means plants metabolism slows and they use less water. Day 36 notes: Looking great. Soil still very moist. Looking to water on day 39. Also increased the DLI closer to 45, and I want to push it to 50 closer to the flip to flower. Other than that training continues. Did some more super cropping and leaf tucking. Also my clones are not looking good. This is understandable as the temp and humidity has dropped considerably. Will watch them the next couple days and if none of them shoot roots then they will be outta here. I have a small tent specifically for clones coming the 20th, in 4 days. Day 37 notes: Did a lot of training today. My hope is to fill out most of the tent, if I have to have empty space I want it to be less than 8x8 inches. Grow is going well otherwise. Will be feeding on the 19th if all goes as planned. Some more red on the stems and petioles but it is still minor. Quite a bit of super cropping today. Also temps are all around and VPD is kind of screwed over right now. Also the plants smell really fruity now and smell a bit gassy. Smell really coming on strong. Also, even though they are not yet flowering, my hands were sticky today after handling them for LST, super cropping, and leaf tucking. Temp has been all over the place the past few days. Need to get it under control. Would prefer the conditions to stay at around 80F 60RH or 85F and 70RH. Not possible with my current setup though. 2-4 days until next watering. Soil was still quite moist today. Day 38 notes: Looking good today. Did not do anything but peek my head into the tent and take some pictures. Temps are doing well, and I tried to get humidity up. Currently at 80F/39RH. I would prefer 80F/60RH. Will water tomorrow or the day after depending on what I see when I go check them tomorrow. Still no roots on the clones, but there are some very small what looks like the start of roots. I am going to let the clones sit in the cloner until they die or I need to clean the cloner for my real clones. Day 39 notes: Maybe one of the most expected days so far. Expected to water the plants day 40, but they desperately needed water today. My blueberry plant also started peeling away from the main stem at 2 nodes. I am guessing my training was a bit too tight. The training was initially fine, but after the plants grew a bit more the ties were no longer at the tip, this caused the point of pressure to change and essentially ripped the plant apart at the seams. I need to keep this in mind next time. I did reattach the branch that had fallen off, but I do not know if it will live. If not, then I will actually use that branch for clones. Speaking of clones, all of mine are dead lol. Basically my high-ass forgot to turn the cloner back on after checking for roots. It was off for 24 whole hours. Came back today and clones are dead. Anyways its cool. I am going to throw these clones out, set up my new cloning tent, and after cleaning my cloner I will start a new batch of clones. The Blue Cheese in the front of the tent smells like straight dead skunk dumped in the tent lol. No matter what Ill be keeping some clones of that plant, at least for the smell alone. Not much to add otherwise. Next time I have to water I will readjust the LST ties. Day 40 notes: Great day today. All of the plants have recovered well from lack of water. Will be watering them in 3-4 days again. At this point, the plants are big enough to switch to flower, but I want to try to wait another 20 days. In 2 weeks I am going to defoliate and take off any of the lower growth. It is at this time that I will go ahead and take some new clones. I disposed of the dead clones today after checking for roots. 4/14 ended up rooting. That's actually pretty nice given the fact that they were in hellish conditions. Clones would like 80F/60-80%RH. These clones were at 80F/30RH. I could have technically saved the 4 that rooted, but they would not have had the vigor that they should have. Also temps have been kind of way off again. Today it was in the opposite direction. Earlier was too hot and not humid enough. Today, the tent was too cold and too humid lol. I'll keep watching it but the plants are mainly very healthy. My cloning tent also arrived today and I got it setup and installed a light in there. Day 41 notes: All good today. These plants are growing like a weed lol. The smell is intense now. Smells like a tent in flower. VPD was pretty good yesterday at 77F and 60RH and its the same way today. Will be taking clones in 12 days, and flipping to flower in 19 days. I am pretty excited because these plants are looking great so far. Day 42 notes: Did not do much today. A bit of leaf tucking, but that's it. Will be watering either tomorrow, or the day after. Soil is still pretty moist about an inch down. Also taped the injured branch on the blueberry, and removed all of the ties from it. I will be doing some more training in a couple of days when I water. Plants have a very strong smell overall. I am definitely excited to flip these babies into flower and start weaving them through the trellis net about 1 week after I flip them. End of week summary: Overall was a great week. There were a couple of interesting things I ran into this week but nothing wrong with the plants. These plants are gonna be beasts by the time I flip to flower. Also fimming on the Blue Cheese in the front definitely did not work. I have heard that it is not always successful. Misc. comments: DLI meter malfunctioning. Will just eyeball it from now on. If plants seem stressed then I will lessen the intensity. Want to run a batch of 5 Blue cheese clones next time. Could also do the blueberry which has responded great to training. Need to get a couple of clip on fans to improve my air circulation. Investing in a better trellis net would also be wise. Going to wait to do all that until I start my raised bed cannabis garden next year in my 4x4 and 3x3 tents. I will likely also purchase either a 4x4, or a 5x5 specifically for drying plants. I would also then need to get a filter, intake and outtake, and a couple of clip on fans. Humidifier and dehumidifier I pretty much already have. I would also like my grow area to be built in a way that I can very easily maintain proper VPD.

Wet and high humidity up to 90% definitely not ideal but every still looks fine no sign of any mold hope there isn't much more rain over these final weeks.

The flowers seem to be filling in nicely. I have been feeding every other watering keeping the ph at 6.5. Not sure when to start flushing since these are the fast version keeping an eye on the trichomes.

Day 70 i was gonna cut it today. but they are starting to get really frosty. i will wait another week.

Blue Shark is still doing great, it's not the tallest, but definitely has the best deep green color and the largest leaves. Got a handful of the Coast of Maine fertilizer around the base watered in with some lime water. Bugs are looking for snacks so I used a bit of neem oil spray and put up a sticky trap. I've had so many bugs this year it's crazy. The cucumber beetles are out in full force and fornicating whenever I catch sight of them, and I've never had them as a pest before! Also, please forgive my slurring speech in the video, it's been a long week and my brain is completely addled😜

Plants looking great. Final week, flushing with filtered water for 7- 10 days. Plants ripening nicely, very dense colas. I noticed a spider mite outbreak last week, it has spread from one plant to the a few others, not a bad infestation, today predator mites will be released onto every plant throughout flush. Predator mites have worked great in the past. **predator mites phytoselius have been applied, hopefully they can clear up the infestation before harvest. When the plants are cut down and hung to drt any remaining mites will crawl up the stem as the plant dries. I will wrap the stem in double sided sticky tape.

The first plant I harvested on 23/09/22 day 72, she faded out in lovely reds, purples and almost black fan leaves. She was coated in glistening frost all over and smelt like petrol/fuel with a subtle grapey fruit after twang. I dried her at 60%RH - 18*c for around 9/10 days before putting into a jar. I’ve been burping her for a week now and she smells fantastic. I’ll post some bud pics when both plants are dry. Plant two I harvested on 09/10/22, she was 88 days old and her buds were firm, but not solid. Forgot to take some pre harvest photos so instead I took a quick video of the main cola. Her buds leave a layer of sticky grease all over your fingers, and the smell is to die for. She’s currently drying in the same conditions as the previous plant. Both plants were grown in less than adequate pots as testers, but grew easily and appeared to thrive throughout. Neither got any sort of training as I wanted to see what kind of natural structure would occur. Il do an update with pictures of both plants once they are cured. I highly recommend giving these seeds a go if you’ve got the space! If you haven’t tried Mephisto Genetics yet I recommend you give them a go, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. 🌱💚

8/17 Watered everything but the 50. Found two leaves with sep markings on the pink kish in the 50. Definitely not using old soil again. I'm pretty sure THIS plant contracted it from the soil and not the way the others did with the lawn mower and birdseed hijinx. It's supposed to rain for the first time basically all summer. It's am 80% chance so I HELD OFF ON PLANT DOCTOR AND DID NOT APPLY as I'm supposed to have a clear day after. I'll apply the plant doctor in the morning. I'm hoping this rain will knock down a bunch of those thrips. They seem to be on a small branch on a plant or two. One or two leaves show damage and I'll pick them off. I figure I'll get them after I apply plant doctor. I'll use either citric acid or just my regular bt-k pillar treatment with Castille or liquid soap. That will kill them as well. I'm on really worried about it. I also might just buy a bunch of lady bugs and unleash them once things get further along. EDIT: TOOK A QUICK VIDEO AND A COUPLE PICS. HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS RAIN. IF NOT IM GOING TO TREAT THE THRIPS THAT ARE ON TWO PLANTS NOW. I THINK IM GOING TO GO WITH BT-K FOR NY PILLARS AND HOPE THAT THE DISH SOAP IN THE MIX KILLS THE THRIPS. I HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO ILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUDS SEEM TO BE EXPLODING IN GROWTH. OH AND THANKS TO THE OUTDOOR GROWER THAT MESSAGED OFFERING TO HELP. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANKS. 8/18 We got the rain we were expecting. It was sheet rain for a few hourscand rained during the night. Everything was drenched and it was cold (50°F). I shook off the special kush that's way further in flower. I decided to use the leafblowrr despite the risk of spreading anything. I did it so that it wasn't ever blowing TOWARDS another plant but still. I was hoping it might blast off some thrips that might have survived that torrential rain. We've never had a dry summer like this. I'll moniter things. My water day is tomorrow so I assume that's when the girls will get their plant doctor dose. It's a great time of year for cannabis growers. We get to watch all the hard work we've put in literally pay off. It's very peaceful in the garden. EDIT: Went over at about one to check things out and do some minor defoliation. I checked on the thrip situation and I dont know if I blasted them off with the leafblower or if the rain washed them away bit I doubt it. Ivecmade the decision to treat these little bastards. It's on one plant but it's started to spread to another branch on another plant. I probably just overlooked it but still. Seeing that it rained like he'll and I'm seeing like zero signs of septoria I'm going to treat everything. At least I think I am. I haven't decided what to use. I think I could just use bt and soap and I'd probably be alright. I'd feel better doing that as it's something I'm familiar with. Outdoor growing. It's always something.

The 2 GSC extreme and one of the GG4 got harvested this morning Dec 20th. The rest are a week or two behind.

Plantas en sus últimas semanas. Salieron excelentes.

Ok so I'm going too only feed pH water from here on out too force the plants too use up all that's in the soil , I am hoping I can carry them on now for the next 2 weeks like this before they are ripe ,
