Week 3 of flowering has started! More defoliation and loolipoping is going on and is passing the surface of the SOG... buds keep fattening, although this light is very poor I think inhave mentioned that before!!

March 1, 2024 Day 15 A new week and a lot of changes. We are talking watering, nutrients, lighting and RH. First, let's discuss the look of these girls. They have extremely broad leaves and the yellowing was definitely a nutrient deficiency. The tops started turning a very light yellow. A sure sign of a deficiency. I'm not sure what it is though. Nitrogen or Cal/Mag? On of those. I think. They are both 3" tall now and are starting to really stretch. This leads me into the next topic. Nutrient regimen. Today started the Advanced Nutrients 3 part base at 2 ml/gal each and Advanced Nutrients Sensi Cal/Mag extra 2 ml/gal. They also got another dose of Recharge. That being said, out next topic is watering. I have changed up the watering to 500 ml every other day starting today. I'll keep a close eye throughout the day for any over watering issues, but I don't think there will be any. I have the moisture spread well throughout the entire container. No runoff so that's good as well. It means I haven't over watered for such young plants. Now for lighting. The light was dropped last week from 29" to 27.5" but this morning I made some changes. I increased the light intensity up from 30% to 40%. I also raised the light to 28" from the little baby plants. This all increased the light intensity to a happy level. DLI: 22.7 mol/m²/d PAR: 350 ppfd Distance: 28" Finally we are looking at RH. The goal for this week is 60%. With the higher light power level the temp will increase. In turn, the humidity should hover around 60% to 62% with the temp closer to 78°. However, I would like to keep it at 77° for the whole veg stage. That's all for today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73° RH: 60.3% VPD: 1.09 kPa March 2, 2024 Kind of running into an issue with feeding and watering. The containers aren't as moist as I would have hoped and I'm starting to think the nitrogen levels are still low. I think I'll increase the whole regimen by 50% and double the Cal/Mag. I'm also considering feeding 250 ml on off days. For this week, I'll use nutrient water and no plain water. I'll switch to every other watering, next week. Just until I can get them to catch up. They are both still very yellow. As for lighting, it's perfect. They are both reaching just right. Perfect praying. I will most likely increase the power level to 60% next week to match the middle/ late veg stage. I'd really like to be at 100% power by the middle of flowering. Other than the yellow leaves they look healthy as can be. Super broad leaves and strong stalks. I have fans running in the tent for circulation but nothing is directly hitting the plants. That will hopefully keep the stalk malleable for training which will start when they can reach the edge of the containers without folding the plant in half. I would like to see maybe 5" of standing stalk from the base. Much easier to water when the soil is free of too low hanging branches. This time around, I will do my best to keep these well defoliated. However, I don't want to go overboard. According to FastBuds, the buds are super dense and the branches need to be supported and spread out for air flow. They didn't say anything about leaf coverage. I'm guessing they will be super busy as it goes with most indicas. We shall see though. I may ask for help from the community for defoliation. I'm no good at it. At least not with autoflowers. I feel I'll have a lot more control with photoperiod, but I like the autoflowers. I have plenty of photoperiod seeds, just haven't had the space to grow them. Some day, I'll grow some. Probably a better idea to grow them sooner rather than later. Maybe I'll run them after my Sour Diesel/Blue Dream run. That will be after the competition I'm joining around 4/20. Those will be autos as well, so it should go pretty quickly. Update: I decided to water in 250 ml after all. I didn't water at the base though. I feel that is crucial in not overwatering the young plants. When I water the 500 ml tomorrow, I'll water the base. It seems to be working. Also, I am wondering if I should do a foliar spray with the nutrients just to help speed up the nitrogen intake. I'll have to research if I should or not. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 60.9% VPD: 1.10 kPa March 3, 2024 So I realized that I need to compensate for the complete lack of nutrients in the soil and bumped the feed from 2 ml to 3 ml for all the nutrients except for Recharge. They got their 500 ml watering today. The bases were watered as well. A tiny bit of drooping, but they were just fed and the water needs to seep in. Plus the lower half of the containers are still fairly dry. So that should certainly spread down and even the soil out. They also haven't recovered from the nitrogen deficiency completely, but I'm sure that will come with time. They aren't slow, at least not that I can tell. They seem to be growing at a decent rate. They are both the same size and nearly identical. Even down to the nitrogen deficiency. What's interesting is the 2 Banana Purple Punch's don't seem to be as hungry as these two and they didn't show signs of it until just yesterday. But I'm pretty sure I caught it in time. Nothing to worry about... I hope. Lol... Anyway, I had to raise the light and inch. They are starting to stretch and I'd like to keep the DLI at 22.7 mol/m²/d for the rest of the week. But I may also mess with the light mid week and increase the power up to 50%. I'll probably have to raise the light, but then next week I can move right into 60% and increase the DLI. I'll decide over night. Might be a good idea. Getting the extra power down to the plants so they can grow like mad. The environment has been nearly perfect for the last couple days. The RH is spot on and hasn't really moved much at all. The temps have been comfortable at 77° during the day and 70° for lights out. I plan to keep it that way for the rest of this week. Next week, I'll decrease the temp a bit and drop the RH to 58%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 62.1% VPD: 1.11 kPa March 4, 2024 Lots to do today. Let's start with watering. Both plants got their 250 ml where I don't water the base of the plants. They are still pretty yellow, so I may increase the Grow base nutrient a bit. I really need the nitrogen deficiency to catch up now. This time is absolutely crucial for growth and I know they aren't growing at their fullest potential. Hopefully the boost from tomorrow's feeding will show improvement overnight. I may even do a light foliar mist as well. Something to get more nitrogen in the leaves. Maybe I'll do it with just the base grow nutrient. Reservoir instillation is coming next week. So I really need the containers to have a bit of runoff when I install them. I may have to do another 500 ml after tomorrow as well. The containers just aren't moist enough yet. Hopefully it will be fine by the end of the week. As I mentioned yesterday, I messed with the light today. I increased the power level up to 50% and dropped the light about an inch for a new intensity. DLI: 27.2 mol/m²/d PAR: 420 ppfd ( totally on purpose 🤣) Power: 50% Distance: 27" This is prep for next week as the light power will be increased to 60% and DLI increased. The goal is to get the light down to between 24" and 26" from the canopy. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.0° RH: 62.0% VPD: 1.14 kPa March 5, 2024 Both plants are looking really nice. They are both still a bit light green though. I'm sure in time, they will both be growing like mad in no time. They are getting close to the edge of their containers. Right on que. In 2 days, they should be big enough to install the basins. Hopefully the roots will be close to the bottom where the wicks can work their magic. I watered in 500 ml today. I decided that I needed to increase the nutrients as we are coming to the end of week 2. So now I have all nutrients at 4 ml/gal except the Recharge of course. I may increase that for next week. I'm not sure that I've caught up to the nitrogen issue though. That's still a concern. I really want to do a foliar spray, but I don't know if Advanced Nutrients are foliar compatible. I had to move the light up a half inch today. It's not much, but I'm keeping the PAR at 420 ppfd until next week. The environment is spot on for the week so far. 78° and 60.5% humidity for the day so far. As for last night, temp at 70.7° and 62.5% humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 61.9% VPD: 1.14 kPa March 6, 2024 Both plants got watered 450 ml today. That's what was left in the jug, so that's what they got. I did end up watering the bases as well. I need moisture throughout the soil ASAP. The light green is still there. So I'm not sure they have enough nitrogen yet. I'll definitely be increasing the nutrition dose again at the start of next week. I didn't mess with the lighting today. I'll check it tomorrow and adjust as necessary. The environment is looking great as well. It's a bit warm out today, so the tent is hovering at 78°, but the RH is still at 61% wonderful! Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.9° RH: 61.7% VPD: 1.15 kPa March 7, 2024 Boh ladies got their watering today. I started with 250 ml and waited an hour to add the other 250 ml. I also increased the base grow nutrient to 8 ml from 4 ml as well as Recharge. That was increased from a quarter teaspoon to a half teaspoon. Both plants are still showing signs of nitrogen deficiency. So the increase in grow nutes should do it. I'll also be able to water in a liter pretty soon. It won't be tomorrow, but maybe the next watering after that. We shall see how things go. Lighting is fine still. I didn't move anything. The plants aren't tall enough for the intensity to increase. Either way, tomorrow I'll be increasing the power and intensity. They should love the change. Especially at this age. The environment is also spot on still. I'll be decreasing the humidity down to 58% tomorrow and will keep the temp the same around 77°. It should be perfect for week 3 of veg. I expect the flowering stage to start in a couple of weeks. Maybe a week and a half. At least that's what I should be expecting according to FastBuds. I'd also like to note that both plants have been rotating all on their own. It's intriguing how they are doing that. I'll have to start rotating in a couple weeks when they get bigger. Unless I have to run a net, then no rotation obviously. Still super interesting. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 61.6° VPD: 1.13 kPa

Looking happy and healthy, fastbuds autoflowers in a living soil bed 8th run in same old soil.

Nov 29: They seem to be accelerating in veg growth but I see a small portion of the leaf on the smaller plant either grew in mutated or somthing cut it, I haven’t seen a single bug in the box so I don’t think it’s that but you never know, and the bigger plant has some issues near the base of its stem, I noticed it before I did the LST and now I’m wondering if I should have addressed that issue before starting the LST. Let me know what you guys think! Dec 2: Walked into the room and noticed a faint smell, wasn’t any smell last night when I started the LST on the slower girl. Further inspection showed some white pistols on the bigger girl, I believe she is the culprit for the smell as the other seems about a week behind. They are both now LST‘d and leaf tucked. Enjoy the pics and vid’s! Dec 6: I have tied down some of the longer chutes on the bigger plant (will see in week 5 update) to create more airflow and light penetration as I didn’t even realize how bushy the stem and node sections had gotten. I have also cut the chutes coming off the first true leaf. I don’t think I will make any cuts to the smaller one as it’s already a slower growing pheno. Going on a trip starting the end of week secede to late week 8, so I have a automatic feeder coming from Amazon, and I will continue using it through flower to reduce open tent time.

Recovering very well, noticeable growth daily. Topped, Lst, and pruned over the last week. Adjusted light height and spectrum to encourage more lateral growth. Hope I didn’t overdo it. The og kush(right) growing a little slow, strawberry gorilla(left) is an autoflower and its leaves are looking a little funky.

Candy candy. One has a very strong cherry nose from the cherry pie cross. The sister has a more runts nose on it and sweet. Some cherry The Wolf is giving a Chem smell. Items my nose like mint menthol. Vix or something. I like it!!

Beginning of week.. Damn she is a very nitrogen sensitive bitch! I really hope she starts to thicken up some.. I think it hurt the yeild some.. Unless she thickens up nicely. It's not as bad as I've seen other nitrogen toxic plants.. With every single leaf cupped or clawing downward.. But the top leaves are pretty clawed.. And even alot of the sugar leaves throughout the plant.. Damnit.. Also, I've noticed that she is actually using up nutrients like FastBuds said.. The runoff has been coming out alot lower than it is going in.. I guess they weren't bullshitting me lol.. Blah whatever.. Damnit, I really hope I didnt fuck this up 🤦🤞🤞🤞 Almost mid week... So I'm using a Brita pitcher with filter for my tap water.. It doesn't do much lol.. Some, of course.. But I'm also using a very cheap filter in it.. Wal-Mart brand.. Which sucks.. But that is helping bring the TDS of nutrient solution down from 1000 PPM - 1100 PPM to about 850 PPM - 900 PPM.. Just regular tap water from 240 PPM - 260 PPM down to 180 PPM - 190 PPM.. Like I said.. Some.. But not much. I'm not sure if there should be any changes to the plant if the nitrogen toxicity is cleared out.. I went ahead and did a nice flush to get all that shit out of the medium.. It should have helped.. Still going to keep the FloraMicro down.. I really hope this doesnt hurt the yield or taste!!!! I'm assuming she should be close to about halfway thru flower so she should have time to recover before flushing and harvesting.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow! Oh.. And I also lowered the light to 14 inches from the canopy.. Well.. To the tallest cola lol Mid week.. She is still maintaining herself.. The trichomes are so beautiful!.. Been keeping the PPMs a bit lower than I think I should.. I think Calcium deficiency is popping back up.. I think I'm seeing some new spots pop up.. Not too bad.. And it could just be from when I was flushing a bit at the beginning of the week.. Havent changed the amount of CalMag so I imagine that's what it's from. But other than that and the nitrogen toxicity, she is doing good! Next day (Merry Christmas!🎄).. So the trichome heads are still normal (not purple like I thought).. But the trichome stems(?) are purple. So fucking gorgeous.. But I can still see that the trichome heads are clear/milky/amber.. There are already quite a few milky! Damn.. Maybe FastBuds actually means 9 - 10 weeks from seed! Lol.. The colas are starting to fatten up a bit.. So I'm happy! I really enjoy the narcotic effect so I'm gonna harvest when there are quite a bit of amber trichomes.. My Lemon Berry from ETHOS had not many amber.. And the high is very paranoid like lol.. Dont get me wrong.. I love the high.. But paranoia is definitely there lol.. So I'm trying to avoid that with this girl! Later that night... So after running a couple gallons through the Brita pitcher filter (with Wal-Mart brand filter), the TDS is coming out around 150 PPM!!! Ok.. So not bad lol.. Works MUCH better than I figured it would! NICEeEeEe... Lol.. But as for the love of my life (lol not kidding).. She is starting to swell for sure!.. Still think she's gonna be a little airy tho.. But she shouldnt yeild small! End of week.. Not seeing any new clawing.. Starting to see more spots.. I mean, they are super bad.. But there are alot throughout the girlie.. So as I've been feeding, watering, feeding, watering, etc... I've noticed the runoff PPM aren't as high as they normally would be.. This could be why the spotting is happening.. Not sure if these spots are from Calcium.. Magnesium.. Or even something else.. It's kinda hard to tell.. But honestly I'm not too concerned about them.. She is not TOO too far from harvesting.. Haven't began to flush yet.. But I think that may be happening very soon.. Maybe 1 more week of weak feedings and then 2 weeks of flushing.. I am definately seeing plenty of cloudy trichomes.. And some amber now.. I will be trying to get some pics of the trichomes next week for sure! They are so pretty! This is one finicky bitch for sure! But now that I know her issues, it should make it quite easier to avoid the same issues next time I grow her! Still very happy with this girl!... On to the next!!!...

Put up the trellis. I think next week i will flip then to flowe

Just chop her yesterday and hange it to dry

What I have to say. For 5 years I grow with friends. One or two of them they get so greedy the cut and stole al the plant. I got so many picture. We smashed every time every genetics. No drama. No problem. Unfortunately I forget is a money making plant. So I got some consequence with growing with other.

Hello guys I’m sorry that I missed one week, the last week when she turned pink! Day 101 - harvest day, I had to wet trim my plant because i have problems with the humidity, it’s 98% rh outside and raining like hell. I haven’t invested in a dehumidifier yet didn’t think I had to use one🤦‍♂️🏽 Day 103 - day 3 drying Day 104: today I hade to cut the buds from the branches because my rh is to high hahaha! 😃 Day 105: I put my buds to jars today. I had a total of 124g trimmed buds! Day 106: had to put my buds outside the jars for 12hr for now to start with, had them over night and rh was 70% in the jars… having them now for drying again in 55%-60% rh

Thricomes starting to move from transparent to white ones, my idea is to harvest when I find any ocurrences of ambar Starting from 2.2 EC and lowering to 0.5, then I will flush with tap water (50ppm) in 3 days before harvest.

420Fastbuds FBT2308/Week2 Weekly update for these 2. I started seeing some rust spots so I decided to add a little General Hydroponics Calimagic at 0.25tsp/gal to my feed. So far seems to stop. I also decided to start a very light dose of nutes General Hydroponics 3 part flora series at the same 0.25tsp/gal to every other feed to see how they'll respond. All in all Happy Growing.

Little hifeo

Die Pflanze entwickelt sich prächtig und wird immer durstiger, bald kann ich sie toppen und umtopfen 😘 An Tag 22 habe ich die Pflanze bei 5 Nodien getoppt. Umgetopft am 26. Tag. 15L Am nächsten Tag ist Kleine um ein vielfaches gewachsen. 5 cm !!!😲 So das ich auch gleich auf das volle Spektrum meiner Beleuchtung wechselte 😃

She seems to thrive in the new soil, I'm checking her regularly because of the darker ridged leaves, could I have overdone the bloodmeal content? It should not have overfeeding effects with organic super soil. But we'll see. The FIM seems to have taken hold with her and today I started training, although it is more main-lining. For this, I just used some microwaved bamboo from the garden. Now we go towards flowering and I'm getting more excited after the first few weeks were a bit sad. Some of you might have seen my super soil recipe in my other grow, the Orange Hill Special, if you didn't, check it out here in the images! I designed it out of frustration that products like Fox Farms etc are not readily available in Europe. Those who saw my Gelato Monstercop grow, know that soil was pretty good, that soil became the base for this recipe, amended with some organic precursors to make it less dependent on feeding and after amending. I would recommend amending some before flowering starts without the bloodmeal. Hope you can use it!! Thank you very much for checking me out again this week! Hapy growing and big hug BioBuds and Sunshine
