I start immediately apologizing for not respecting the week in updating the diary, but with work and looking after the plants I had no time. Now it is the end and I have collected everything. The experiments with ice water went really well and the pollen yield has increased again. The plant is spectacular and I am very proud of my work and what I have achieved. The buds are very compact and smell really exaggerated. This Cali I cleaned it all out of the excess leaves apart from the sugary little ones and left it in whole branches and hung it on a clothesline that I am leaving in a dark room with the values checked at least for the next week so that I can start a new cycle. But the smell is just too much!!!! Great FastBud and sure I'll be making more varieties soon. The monkey has now burrowed on my shoulder and the desire to try this delight is more and more.

No real improvement with the fading yet but we hit them with another moderate feeding yesterday and dropped the PH slightly, I think they'll they'll darken up a little in the coming days..They're nowhere near as yellow as they appear on camera or under the HIDs but they definitely look hungry, a few are turning a lime green color with yellowing on older growth.. We've been rotating all plants every few days to balance our slightly uneven light spread...Thankfully no major issues to report this week and we'll update in a few days if the additional nutrients made a change. Thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! 💚💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

The stench coming off this plant is unbelievable. When I open the tent, the smell slaps me in the face and instantly fills the room with funky sweet goodness. 😆 RQS says this strain takes 9 weeks of flower but she had a major defoliation during early bloom so we’ll see. Maybe I’ll give her an extra week. Thanks for stopping by growmies 🙏 Have a good week 🙌💥

Using a Rhaspberry Pi 4 to automate the watering and a TP-link 105 smart plug to automate the Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light. You can see how I automated it here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony Basically, this is an "Automated Watering how-to Guide for Dummies" - as simple as technically possible. You still require some basic command line expertise, but the steps have been proven and I provide links to the gear I used AND the Node Red code, making this EASIER than anything else I've seen online. Harvesting soon.

🌿 Yo, Have You Seen This Grow? Gorilla Cookies FF by Fast Buds Is Looking Fire! 🔥 Man… Gorilla Cookies FF is lookin' like it’s about to go off. You ever smoke Gorilla Cookies? It’s like a sweet punch in the face — in the best way possible. So check this — it's not your regular autoflower. This one’s Fast Flowering — a photoperiod strain that flips quick. 7 weeks of bloom and boom, you’re lookin' at frosty nugs with that dank cookie-diesel funk. Straight Fast Buds magic. Genetics That Slap This strain's a mashup of two absolute legends: Gorilla Glue × Girl Scout Cookies That means crazy resin production, chunky buds, and that earthy-sweet-gassy flavor combo that hits different. Like, we’re talking up to 29% THC. Yeah. That strong. 🌱 The Grow So Far (Weeks 1–3) Organic soil in a 15L pot 300W HID light on 25% power Perfect temps (23–25 °C) & humidity (~65%) Bio feeding with Green House nutrients Already transplanted — and she’s stretchin’ up nice I checked the pics — she’s still a baby, but those leaves are lush. That deep green, wide fan leaf vibe… no signs of stress, no stretch too early. You can feel the potential just lookin’ at her. 📸 First Glance = Big Promise Honestly, this one’s got that look. You know the look — when a plant’s just ready to explode into a frosty jungle. I’m tellin’ ya, if she keeps goin’ like this, we’re lookin’ at a full-on terp storm in a few weeks.

Had one plant hemi, probably due to the high stress training I did last week. All plants looking very healthy, two out of the remaining 4 are several inches taller so may tie these down to even the canopy a little. One pheno is a lot more sativa looking than the others and had a much bigger stretch.

Update July 30 102 °F Plants now need to be watered twice a day with 3/4 gallons. All my garden is burned except these incredibly girls, is a hard challenge. I can't understand not how much these plants survive but how they thrive instead Very hard to stay outside, very hard to take decent pics, very hard to sleep, to breath too. Closed at home I am building a dry trimming dock with a 120 microns sieve which I will then use to beat the dry trim in the Moroccan way. On Monday 27, the first day of the second heat wave, 90 ° F, the plant already begins to show signs of low heat stress and the forecasts are very bad, this could last for 2 weeks. This is a problem for me because I have planned to start stressing the plant with underwater, an impossible mission in this heat. For the same reason I'll stop to defoliate. I was forced to bend the tallest branches again for privacy reasons, this girl is fucking vigorous. From now on I will stop counting the height and the water, the first because the plant is completely folded 3/4 times and has exceeded 75 inches abundantly. The latter because I water them directly with the water hose. I will report only nutes when gived. Grasshoppers are starting their fucking job chewing leaves but I don't care, this resilient girl has tons of leaves so I'll let them to make defoliation in my place, checking only the new sprouts and for mites. Occasional mealybugs are prompted burned by my lighter, the best method!!! Still waiting for stigmas. RG is very leafy, she's still stretching but lots of pistils are appearing. Strong cheese/coffee scent. Unstoppable & resilient. She slips into any hole, through one of them one of her branches has finally reached the other two sisters, in a few square inches 3 buds of different strains are forming, embracing one another. Shape and thickness of the branches make me think of a not generous harvest, according to the breeder. Hope you enjoy the garden Happy to see U come back for updates. Cheers & Happy Growing! See ya soon

Dernière semaine de croissance. Changement de solution fait le dimanche 22/11 car le ph commençait à descendre en dessous de 6.2 et cela faisait 1 semaine que j'avais fais le précèdent changement. Le PH lors du changement était de 6,8. Il est monté jusqu'à 7.5 mais je laisse le filtre faire son oeuvre. Il est actuellement à 7.1 et continue de descendre naturellement. carence en fer. Ajout d'une dose supplémentaire de Sensi CalMg Edit au 25 : Malheureusement ce que je sentais venir est arrivé, saturation en N. Le Ph et l'EC continuaient de baisser tous les deux. Les parties basses des plantes étant sombre et ayant une carence en fer sur la partie haute (puisque élément mobile), j'en ai déduit que c'était une carence en fer induite par une surfertilisation en N. J'étais à un EC de 1, je suis revenu à 0,8 le mardi 25 au soir. La bioponie est très capricieuse au niveau de l'azote. Le mercredi 26 le ph remonte ce qui signifie qu'on a stopé le processus de dégradation du N. Je devrais changer la solution mais je dois passer bientôt en flo donc j'ai enlevé de l'eau et rajouter, histoire de tenir jusqu'au prochain changement de solution qui est prévu samedi sauf si la situation dégénere de nouveau avec le PH. Last week of growth. Change of solution made on sunday 22/11 because the ph was starting to drop below 6.2 and it's been 1 week since I made the previous change. The PH at the time of the change was 6.8. It went up to 7.5 but I let the filter do its job. It is currently at 7.1 and continues to drop naturally. iron deficiency. Addition of an extra dose of Sensi CalMg Last update : Unfortunately what I felt was coming has happened, N saturation. Ph and EC both continued to drop. As the lower parts of the plants were dark and iron deficient (on top because is mobil nutrient), I deduced that it was an iron deficiency induced by N overfertilization. I was at an EC of 1, I came back to 0.8 on Tuesday evening the 25th. Biopony is very capricious in terms of nitrogen. On Wednesday the 26th the ph goes up which means that we stopped the N degradation process. I should change the solution but I have to float soon so I removed some water and added more, to hold until the next change of solution which is planned for Saturday unless the situation degenerates again with the PH. Ultima semana de crecimiento. Cambio de solución hecho el domingo 22/11 porque el ph empezaba a bajar de 6.2 y ha pasado 1 semana desde que hice el cambio anterior. El PH en el momento del cambio era de 6,8. Subió a 7.5 pero dejé que el filtro hiciera su trabajo. Actualmente está en 7.1 y sigue bajando naturalmente. deficiencia de hierro. Adición de una dosis extra de Sensi CalMg Ultima hora : Desafortunadamente lo que sentí que venía, la saturación de N. El pH y la EC continuaron bajando. Como las partes inferiores de las plantas eran oscuras y con deficiencia de hierro, deduje que se trataba de una deficiencia de hierro inducida por la sobrefertilización de N. Estaba en un EC de 1, volví a 0.8 el martes 25 por la noche. La bioponía es muy caprichosa en términos de nitrógeno. El miércoles 26 el PH sube, lo que significa que detuvimos el proceso de degradación del N. Debería cambiar la solución pero tengo que flotar pronto así que saqué un poco de agua y añadí más, para mantenerlo hasta el próximo cambio de solución que está previsto para el sábado a menos que la situación degenere de nuevo con el PH.

Tamara’s third week is anything but boring. After a recovery phase from topping, I wait until her shoots have grown enough. During this time, I notice that her fan leaves are not growing symmetrically and vary in the number of fingers. 😅 No reason to worry—this is completely normal at this stage. A little later, Tamara gets her first LST, and it probably looks a lot harsher than it actually is for her. Because just 24 hours later, she shines in her “old” beauty again. I give her a bit of rest, but towards the end of the third week, she gets another LST and is thoroughly defoliated. 🤣😅 From my perspective, the most happened this week 🙂 and I’m more than impressed with how well Tamara handles my interventions, considering she’s an autoflower and would normally just be left to grow. 😂🤣😇… Actually 😉

Gorilla cookies and cherry cola are both hitting flower hard! The smells are pungent,the buds are sticky and the stems are strong! We’re getting nice fat buds on cherry already and gorilla isn’t too far behind her. They’ve taken very well to the feedings they’ve been given and all training done to them. So far I’m loving both of these strains 🔥🔥

Had some issues with her. Thought the ph was off cause my cheap ph meter told me so. i flushed her and got 6.14 from the runoff so I think i had my light too close for too long before moving it and i needed to start adding some calmag but it was most likely my light being to close. She has some burnt trichomes on her and a decent amount of crispy leaves but shes looking better with every water. If anyone can tell me anything that could help that would be greatly appreciated.
