Plants are exploding. Seeing the power of RDWC now :-) Also found some mutants - leaves are growing in the the middle of the fingers.

Well they are still here and plodding through eith no issues considering the sudden change in wheather 🌱 Need keep these critters at bay thoug they're out in search of these fruity flowers... Not really exfoliating to be honest just letting them do their thing now ✌️💚

Greetings fellow growers 🖖 and welcome to my first grow ever. This adventure actually started several months ago when I decided to stop buying flower from dispensaries and just grow my own bud. How hard can it be!? This is actually my second seed of this strain. The first bean sadly died due to over watering (sorry girl, RIP). I was literally watering the cube to the point where water was dripping from the bottom, then heavily sprayed the humidity dome and tray with the vents completely closed. Everyday. Multiple times. I never let the dome or try dry out. So after about 8 days of not sprouting, there was a funky smell of rot. So that was that. Later I learned that rockwool retains a lot of water and can easily drown seeds. So a wet/dry cycle is best for rockwool germination. So even after hours of researching and digging through forums and tutorial videos, I was still under prepared for this journey. Did not consider how delicate the germination phase is. Oh well. Lesson learned. Reset and try again! I hope everyone is safe and stoned during this corona crisis. Just like everyone else in the world, I want this pandemic to be over with. But in the meantime, let's grow some weed! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] Day 01 - Monday - 08/03/20 - Total Days: 001 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Light Schedule: 24Hrs/0 --- Soaked cube in 5.5 PH water for 10 min. Did not shake water out. --- NO NUTES! Only PH'd down to control the PH levels. --- Did not use the default hole (way too deep). --- Flipped cube upside down and made a shallow hole for the seed (less than 0.25" deep). --- Placed seed in and pinched hole close. No additional water added. --- Sprayed the tray and dome with straight water (5.5 PH). --- Vents are cracked opened a for ventilation (about 1/4 opened each). --- Distance between the light and tray was 53" --- AC was set to 80 °F --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 °F --- Room average temp was at 85 °F --- Dome humidity was at 85-99% when sprayed. --- Allowing to completely dry before respraying. - [2200]: Dome and tray were completely dry! Sprayed only tray and dome with more water. Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/04/20 - Total Days: 002 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Sprayed dome and tray in the morning. Everything was dry. --- Hoping for the best! - [2130]: Everything was dry again, so sprayed dome and tray at night along with a light spray on the cube. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/05/20 - Total Days: 003 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Everything was dry again. Resprayed dome and tray. Slightly sprayed cube. - [2125]: Hooo damn!! She popped! Am little stub is visible! Resprayed dome and tray again. --- Still going 24/0 for lights. - [+0033]: Just checked up on her and I swear she grew a bit taller! Getting excited! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/06/20 - Total Days: 004 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Wow! Went from a little stub to fully sprouted overnight! Everything was pretty dry again so resprayed dome and tray. - [2200]: Tap root is visible! Over 1" long too! Just resprayed dome and tray again. -- Going to prep for hydroton transplant tomorrow! Day 05 - Friday - 08/07/20 - Total Days: 005 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: She keeps growing! -- Added a bit of CalMag to the spray bottle (8 drops to 650ml of distilled water). Resprayed dome and tray. Water was at a 5.4 PH with 141 PPM. - [1045]: Prepped the bubble bucket with 4.5gal of water. Water is high enough to reach about 0.25" above the bottom of the net pot. --- Added 3 drops of Superthrive --- Added 3.5ml of CaliMagic --- Added 2ml Hydroguard --- Then PH'd down to 5.6 --- Solution Strengh: 120 PPM --- Water chiller is set to 20 °C - [1100]: Transplant time! --- Filled the net basket 1/3 with hydroton. When placed in the bucket, air bubbles are not visible, but are slightly below the surface (slight digging will reveal the water/bubbles below). --- Removed plastic on rockwool cube and placed in basket, then filled around and covered with hydroton. Making sure to block any light from passing through the net pot and into the nutrient solution. --- Covered with a half-bottle dome sprayed with the CalMag water from earlier. --- Hoping for the best! - [1300]: Raised Bucket 5" higher. Now light distance is 48" to top of bucket. - [1820]: Lowered tent exhaust temp to 76 °F --- Lowered AC to 75 °F --- Raised bucket even higher so light distance is 30" to top of bucket. - [2300]: Looking good! --- Sprayed dome and surrounding hydroton with more CalMag water. --- Attached timer to light! So new 18 Hrs On/6 Hrs Off light schedule. --- Lights On: [1600] (4pm) --- Lights Off: [+1000] (10am the next day) --- Decided to go with lights on during the evening/night and off during the later mornings/afternoon (the hottest part of the day) to see if temps can be controlled better. --- Please survive girl! Day 06 - Saturday - 08/08/20 - Total Days: 006 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Everything was dry. Resprayed hydroton and dome. - [2000]: Here first night cycle seemed to go well! Get'n taller! --- Dry again. Removed the dome. --- PH went up to 6.5 so PH'd down to 5.7 --- Ran the top feed drip ring for a bout a minute to wet the hydroton and rockwool with the nutient solution. ---Too scared to leave the top feed on 24hrs (I don't want over water her and cause dampening-off). Will let dry before re-watering. - [2100]: After closer inspection, I think she's looking a bit yellow. --- Decided to add a bit of grow nutes to the bubbler solution. --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 176 PPM --- PH went up to 6 --- I hope that the extra chelating properties of the 'PH Perfect' solution is enough of a buffer for proper nutrient uptake. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/09/20 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Water dropped a bit (mostly due to evaporation) so solution strength was at 190. --- Checked PH again. Was still at 6, so PH'd down to 5.4 --- Ran the top feed for a minute to wet the hydroton a bit. - [0915]: Since she's looking perky but still a bit yellow. So decided to up the nutrient concentration even more before lights out. --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 199 PPM --- PH went up to 5.8 - [1700]: Checked nutrients. --- PH: 5.9 --- Solution strength: 202 PPM --- Added 4ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- PH after adding more nutes: 5.9 --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 238 PPM - [2130]: Decided to make a new foliar spray to address the continued yellowing. --- Started with 500ml of distilled water. --- Added 3 drops of CaliMagic --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow A --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow B --- Added 3 drops of B-52 --- Added 1 drop of Superthrive --- Solution strength: 164 PPM --- PH was at 5.9 and did not adjust. --- Gave her one spray. --- Also sprayed the surrounding hydroton. [END OF WEEK 01]

420 Fastbuds Gelato Auto Week 11 This week has been super interesting non the less. We had a couple monsoons roll through and absolutely dump a ton of water. Over all they did handle it well no broken branches but between the humidity and heat I can't wait for cooler temperatures. Still watering straight well water about 2 liters daily. They're moving through flower fast as the flower sites are growing super fast swelling nicely and starting to have a real sweet smell. All in all Happy Growing.

This strain yields firm compact cookie tasting buds , like biscuits, grew well under my LEDs , in 12-13 Weeks in DWC on 20/4 , I will also say how similar both plants taste , which can sometimes not be the case , so pheno stability in this strain is also good. Top bud for sure , smells is good , but that Strawberry pie now that’s that’s a different story .......

Quick update on the White Widow for Days 16 through 22. Last week she was fighting for survival after transplant shock. This week the Phoenix rose. The root system has settled, and she has pushed out multiple fresh sets of bright green, serrated leaves with new growth stacking up at the top. The old, damaged first leaves are fading, which is normal now that the plant no longer needs them. Still strictly minimalist: pure water, pure living soil, stable environment. No nutrients, no stress techniques, just letting her build momentum. Ambient conditions: 23.5°C and 70% RH, VPD at 0.84 kPa Soil moisture: 30% DLI: 20 (raised from 16 last week) Shock phase: over. Early veg: officially on. The Day 9 to Day 22 time-lapse is attached below. This one is a pure growth time-lapse without the environmental data overlay.

Let’s go day 72 from seed!!! Another great week it’s been , 2 Ogreberrys an brucy b been flushing for a week, an the 3 others will continue to get there normal feed of nutrients, they are just not quite ready so they will start getting flushed around next week!! Sweet sweet smell of Grapes And gooey frosty nugs is all I can really say, photos do no justice, some of the craziest fruitiest smelling buds I’ve ever had, Real High quality meds !! Hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day as well as a great week!! Peace love an positive vibes to all y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻If there’s any questions, please ask!! 💚🙏🏻💯

17/07/25: Weather is super shitty for the middle of July, so not so much growth for the past couple of days! I hope it will get better soon and from now on it's just a matter of patience and slowly watching the buds thicken up! 🌿 Curious to see how long they need until harvest! Planning to the end of August at the moment, so up to six more weeks to go 👍🏼

We begin the third week of flowering with a look at those many growing buds all over the canopy of these FastBuds photo fems. The plants themselves exploded in size to the sides and top of the tent, filling it completely!

It's been a couple weeks. I wasn't home at all last week most of this week up until 2 days ago. Everything was going well there seemed to be a calcium deficiency I gave some wca, with some cytoplus. Had some issues with the person watering my plants. So they went through a dry period and a super heavy watering. Feel free to offer me tips and advice!

✌️🏻Coming on good glad to have the space now

A hint of pre flowering showing it's a girl. It's time to plant her outdoor.

Start of week 6 of flowering for rhino number 2 Smooth as it can be will give her one more strong feed then will start flushing !!! The fade on her is beautiful loving it !!

Start of Week 9 Flower | deficencies are starting to get stronger | i think i gave too much calmag

7 months after planting her from seed the day is finally here. A little earlier than I would of liked due to insects (crickets/grasshoppers eating buds) but she's thereabouts finished. Probably lost 1/3 of buds from the chewing insects but still a big yield and my drying room is full 😊 She survived two rainy season's and some serious wind from a tropical depression back in September. I have kept this grow completely organic so no pesticide or chemical fertilizers used. Apart from heavily amending the soil at the start I mostly fed her crabmeal once a month and seaweed and molasses in most waterings. A few of those waterings were diluted with my urine 😆👌 NPK right!? Why not.. then at the end I added a cultured pro biotic yogurt to the soil 2 days before I harvested. (Tip from a fellow grower @med_in_tropic - thanks bro) Not sure if it made any difference as I cannot compare with another plant but, the plant starting smelling like lemon furniture polish.. like a lemon scent with a fuel undertone. Almost menthol like 🤷‍♂️.. smells amazing. Me and my wife drank tea from the trimming and the citrusy flavour came though into the tea which was nice. Weather wise the temperature is down now to around 16c at night with RH around 50% so the buds should dry much slower than the last harvest so I should get a better flavour profile. Smoke report to follow after she has been in a jar for a week or so.. I did try a bud sample a few weeks back and the taste then was already pleasant so for sure this will be fire... 🔥 Thanks for all the kind comments, this was my first ever grow start to finish. Already looking forward to next season 😁

Been a week exactly since I last went to the spot and it keeps on getting better and better! There all growing really really well! Just waiting for flowering now so as soon as I see the change I'm going to be putting down a bit of bat guano ;) Should get some tasty flowers of these girls for sure! See you next week!

14/03/2025 Lights Off! Light Increased: 420 ..and out of the chaotic shadows appears order! The Great Reset has finished! Its all about getting Greenland and as far north as possible! Onwards and upwards 🙌 I mean; literally! 16/03/2024 Evening meal: slow roasted pork with Apple Sage! All "PrepKitchen" meals are Keto friendly 😋 Healthy diet is a must! Very high protein and extra 2 veg and low in carbohydrates. I have always said; maybe not here but if a beach has only has hald of its waters populated with green Algie in it. 15/03/2025 Lights On! Sprayed tent walls with 6%HP FG and all the little domes with 0.5%HP FG Midday! Sprayed them again with distilled water × h202 domes (0.5%/L ) and sprayed tent walls and light with 6%HP FG They are looking lively now! CHECK OUT THE VT!! 15/03/2025 Lights Off! P.s "As long as your body is healthy; you have thousands of problems. But as soon as it's sick; you have but one problem!" - people take care of your body! I know i should of used the term the biggest cause of death is "Doctor Misconduct" and it's world wide, not just the NHS but World-wide! They are the cause of all the problems willing or unwillingly. Seedlings: 1week 1 day Old! I kknow they look much older; to me anyways! 16/03/2024 Lights On! Tidy up trim! Lite defol. VT Before and the VT After They look similar to a "Bonsai type of training" Here is a ..''paradox'' for ya: A man fell seriously ill with a deadly skin infection and, after recovering, asked his neighbor, "Why didn’t you send me a 'Get Well Soon' card during my treatments and recovery? The only 'Get Well Soon' cards I received were from people who knew it was a terminal illness, not from any Class A drugs i was on for treatment and pain. So why didn't you give me a card?" If the neighbor responds, "I thought you were on drugs and looked unwell because of that," it undermines the man’s entire treatment and recovery process, which was evident through his efforts and progress. This response would suggest that the neighbor is inadvertently equating terminally ill patients with drug addicts—an assumption that stigmatizes the illness. The paradox lies in the phrase, "I only received 'Get Well Soon' cards from those who knew the truth." By answering this question, the neighbor is stuck in a loop, as any response would place them in a paradoxical situation. //////////////////////////////////////////////// Girl ya' so' Tropical; because i am the cherry to your coconuts' 18/03/2024 MIDDAY: Removed domes and sprayed 0.5% HP! 19/03/2024 Lights On! The war is over 😢 once the new map has been drawn out! There are no side! They are well over fighting over land. It's a show! This feels like a 'Unpassive Grow' just letting it lead where it wants to go! Lights Off! Sprayed domes 0.5% amd sprayed tent walls 6% and covered them back over for bed! "Motels should be called Hotels. Where, Hotels should be called Motels" - Whores are always at the Motels; that's why they should be called Hoe tales, but where do they hog tie their pig moe tails, thats at the Hotels 😒 😤 - can be done at both places too i suppose. 20/03/2025 Lights Off! Few hrs later Sprayed domes0.5% and sprayed tentwalls 6% 21/03/2025 Lights On! Removed domes and deffolled/supercroped! I thought let's have some fun with this "unpassive growing style!" It may look like a Cyclone sweeped right through my grow. hopefully in the next 3days the domes are no longer needed and can leave them alone to grow size. 22/03/2025 Lights On!

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. At the end of this week EC is at 3.0 so first thing to do next week there will be reservoir change. All goes well looks like the big Tropicanna plant is maturing so probably about two more weeks for her....better photographs will come next week. I spray them every second day with CannaCure or a hydrogen peroxide solution to be safe from the moldy buds. The SE7000 runs at 550 Watt and about 35cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ Also i included a unpacking recording of one of the packages Spider Farmer send me for the next grow, If you are interested in buying this 6" exhaust fan with filter here's the link: https://cutt.ly/gwjZIk9r Thank you a lot Spider Farmer you guys rock 💚 That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week.
