Day 57: 5 days of running RO water, and the ladies starts to show some minor Calcium deficiency, and Phosphorus Excess. at least this is what I think it is. About the Phosphorus Excess goes also very well with BIG plants advice against running Stimulus and Bud explosion at the same time. I have been done this for 2 weeks. (they actually have one week of this in early flowering in the feeding schedule, but generally advise against it) So I will take Bud Exp. out in the next mix. For the Calcium deficiency I will ad some more B, as I already are on the low side of the recommendation. The mix with RO water is a little tricky. before I've added only half the dosage, but now it seems like I need to ad accordingly to schedule, to make up an EC of 1.2 I am still adding 2x1 L for every lady a day Day 59: All ladies received another LST training. I have received the Mars Hydro TS 3000W and set it up. Day 63, the Fat banana, is killing it, it is a beast, OMG it is so bushy and around 65 cm high now, but the flower is still small. the biggest one has some dark color on the leafs expanding from the flower. The main stem is so thick. around 3 cm. I took all ladies out today and I notice that the FB was almost dry. perhaps it is not getting enough water. I will increase the fertigation to 3 times a day for the FB Day 63 the Stress killers are also looking amazing and just smell good, very citrus Trimmed out all the lover and small flowers, I don't think they will develop.

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

I am dropping a fast buds tester FBT2308. The seed was scuffed, and placed in water in dark. In 24 to 48 hours I will plant in Rockwool, and dome. I will be growing her under a Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 in Agrogardens nutrition. Everything is ready to go. 🀞🏻 for a great grow. Thank you Agrogardens, Fast Buds, and Medic Grow. πŸ€œπŸ»πŸ€›πŸ»πŸŒ±πŸŒ±πŸŒ± Thank you grow diaries community for the πŸ‘‡likesπŸ‘‡, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channelπŸ‘‡. β„οΈπŸŒ±πŸ» Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

The Buds on the Big one are growing and she seems to enjoy her Company. The small ones start to stretch, besides that it has been a pretty boring week for me and my Tiny Clone Army of Happiness. 😊 12-02-25: The big one needs more water than the small ones. Who would have thought πŸ€” Off to the shaming wheel with me. *Shame* *Shame* *Shame*

As of the afternoon of May 15th, I have begun some LST with binder clips/safety pins and some soft pipe cleaners. With the exception of the Critical Jack, I think most of the plants are showing some signs of excess Calcium and Nitrogen so I am going to take CALiMAGic out of their feeding regimen and cut the nutrients down to 1/4 strength as of this afternoon. The Dinafem Critical Jack Auto is now the tallest plant and seems to be the healthiest one of the bunch at this point, she keeps amazing me every day. The Seedsman White Widow Auto is not very tolerant to feedings and its stems & branches seem to be weaker than the others; very bushy. Both the Dinafem Industrial Plant Autoflowering CBD and the Mephisto Ripley's OG are very healthy but are growing very squat and bushy -- which made trying some LST for the first time a bit more challenging! As of the evening of May 17th, I noticed pre-flowers on both the Critical Jack and the Ripley's OG. The Critical Jack is certainly stretching out right now! The White Widow and the Industrial Plant CBD look like they should be getting pre-flowers by the end of the week. The Critical Jack has taken to being under the ViparSpectra 600 light more than the MarsHydro Mars II 1200 light -- something to keep an eye on?

Hey! As I expected, all the plants bloomed last week (one is a little behind). In order for everyone to be at the same height, one of the plants had to be broken using the HST method, which seemed to have no consequences for growth. Two out of three plants showed a purple phenotype, I just love such changes, continue to monitor😎 Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! πŸ™ To be continued... 😢

Bit of amber, its time! The buds are really thick!! 66gr wet, not a lot... After 3 days cut and dry, 17gr, in a jar +58% humidity pack Curing 2 days = very nutty and woody smell. The strong freshy pine kinda smell/taste ebbed away... She feels just right smoking Curing 4 days, she feels like a blue cheese, very strong sour experience Curing +6 days, strong pine/Woody smell, like you're in a forest πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ Very sour in the nose. She smells like a bit confeited, dried fruit (thea-like...)

Moochie's Garden 7/7/2025 (Learning curve producing videos.) Big bluster - "Miracle-Gro/10 gallon, no ph, right out of the well" Wife said phuck Fox farm we are using NPK RAW, using ph watering cans to feed @ 4 gallons each and 5-gallon buckets of ph. watering. Once a week per feed/water. Following NPK feeding schedule. AzaMax soil drench .4%, 2 gallons each plant. Still spraying neem. Next, mixing Azamax for foliar spray. If I had not taken steps to prevent pests initially, I'd be completely overwhelmed.

We're going on the start of week 4! These ladies are doing good , I've watered them 1/4 yesterday and now Im going to let them dry out further before doing the same thing . Im also going to be using Advanced Nutrients PH perfect Micro Grow formula starting next week . These ladies are going to be transplanted from their solo cups to 3 gallon pots on the end of week 6 , looking forward to that time . I'm excited to see what these ladies will produce ! Stay tuned for daily updates and weekly videos ! A big thank you to everyone who comes out to show their love and visit the diary ! Happy Growing! -V.G Day#22 They were overwatered some I've reduced the amount . They seem to like it . Going to wait till the soil is a little dryer and repeat. Day#23 Medium drying out quite quickly now ! Plants just chugging along ! Day#24 Transplanted them they needed it ! I bet they're going to love their new home ! Watered 1 cup each 450 ppm 6.0 PH Day#25 Responding well to transplant Day#26 Watered half cup each they are thirsty , no picture worked to late Day#27 Responding well to watering , going to have to water more frequently I think . Day#28 They are both growing well pushing up new nodes 5 leaf style . Week notes : I find these ladies to be very thirsty for their water and CalMg 47#2 is really thirsty for the calmg shes showing signs of deficiencys already I've upped the calmg but we'll see what happens . On to next week !!

So this week she grew 32cm..... That is over 12 inches!!! Incredible!! Every so often I will cut a few leaves off to allow light to penetrate the lower flower sites.

Its finally harvest day. It seems she would need 4-5 days more until harvest but she is one of the smaller plants and she cost me too much so i harvest her with the other small ones to get space for another plant.

I decided not to flush her, since I mixed her last food too strong and ended up with lots of leftover. She's also my only plant blooming at the moment, so I'll just keep using the leftover prepared water to top her buckets until she's done. ;) ----- The leaves turning yellow tell me I need to get ready to harvest her, probably this weekend. I'm sure I could do it already, but I'm really pushing for a couchlock...

I use a 70/30 solution of H2O2 and tap water inside a small capsule, allowing the seed to soak for 24 hrs, and she was ready for her birthday, already showing a tap root in that time span... I then place the seed into a damp paper towel to allow the tap root to extend a little further out in preparation for the transplant. I'll start her in a small grow bag filled with my amended Pro Mix seed starter blend, hopefully making a strong seedling for my first AutoPot run. This is for their grow off, which I found on their Discord server, but they are very active on FB and IG... Their catalog of offerings are definitely connoisseur genetics, most importantly, Made in the USA! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

11/09/2025 - Day 131 Removing a lot a buds with mold. If it keep getting worse I just end it here. Smell is really strong, this scares me a little. Stems are bending under the weight of the buds, they will break for sure in case of strong rain. The small third one died for reasons, not a big deal.

She is still in a nice routine of having 2/3 liters every 2 days. Like clockwork. Will be using overtime instead of big bud in a week. Finally stopped growing vertical growth I believe at 37 inches, now I'm excited how fat these buds are gonna get. The 5 gallon has so many Colas they are beautiful. Day 45 - Buds are really starting to fill in and fatten up. Drinking 3 liters every 2 days now with pots drying out fully Day 47 - my 3 gallon pot i am feeding half dose nutes compare to the 5 gallon pot which is needing more N. she is much more thirsty drying out faster too. Makes sense she is double the size in all ways.

Finalmente Γ¨ percepibile l'esplosione della fiorituraπŸ’£ forse un leggero blocco dovuto agli sbalzi di temperatura esterni di questi giorni che influivano nella mia grow room.. I terpeni sono di un'altro pianeta, comincia a ghiacciati come un iceberg πŸ˜‚πŸ’š speriamo che continui cosΓ¬ e che l'imprevisto mi faccia arrivare comunque ad un buon raccolto
